CODE: SELECT ALL
Shortform name: Sevatetland
Real life culture influence: late nineteenth to early twentieth century Russia in terms of culture, military, and Government has many aspects of early Bolshevik rule.
Real life culture of former colonizer: (if applicable)
Population: 10.5 million
GDP (PPP) per capita: 4,000
GDP (nominal) per capita:4,350
Military manpower (active/reserve):125,000
Language(s):the national languages are Russian and English, but many people choose to study languages such as Japanese on their own.
Nation description:The original inhabitants of Sevatetland were a member of a large and powerful nation known as Bahaduur. They were seen as an inferior part of the race, however, and were widely persecuted throughout the 16th century. They were eventually forced to a small, isolated section of Bahaduur. This was seen as the only way that they could not infect the rest of the normal populace.

Here they remained for almost 200 years, having almost complete control over their own affairs. The only link to the main government was the annual taxes, as well as some of the more major laws. They were, however, allowed to form their own local government; which put in place most of the regulations and guidelines to living.

In 1754 Bahaduur was attached by another nation within the region. This ultimately led to its downfall. During the fighting the few citizens capable of fighting that had been Banished by Bahaduur joined the opposing side and, in return for their service, were allowed to become a sovereign nation on and around the icy wasteland that they had been on for so long. There is speculation and some evidence that they were allowed this mostly because the new government saw no value in the land or people.

Over the next three centuries they formed their own government, culture, and way of life that will all be covered, I assume some of your nations would like to play some part in it so I am leaving it fairly open ended.

A little culture insight: {\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252

\f0\fs32 \cf0 \cb2 \expnd0\expndtw0\kerning0
\outl0\strokewidth0 \strokec3 The culture of Sevatetland has developed over hundreds of years of both harsh treatment by outsiders and adaptation to the harsh climate that they live in. \
\
The culture can very easily be described as clan-like. A man will be very cold to those that he does not know, specifically foreigners, but will risk everything not only to help those he considers friends, but also friends of friends.\
\
The clan like tendency comes from the fact that the tribes were fairly nomadic up until the last century or so, only settling down when economic and technological advancements made it feasible for multiple hundreds of thousands to be able to live in one place.\
\
There is a fair amount of xenophobia, and most consider other nations as enemies trying to destroy what they have built. There are high tariffs not only to protect local industry, which is already very small, but also to keep outsiders as distant as possible. Those nations that do manage to befriend the people, however, find an extremely loyal and helpful neighbor.

Governmental information: the government is fairly large, having people assigned to almost every task that would even need to be considered.

It is led by Supreme Minister Chuikov Krasilovoch, age 57, who was elected 14 years ago. There is a presidential vote every 7 years. This is not done by the populace, or even the people the populace elect, but by the higher council. The limit to how long you may lead is 96 years.

The higher council is composed of 251 representatives from all form of government, military, and organizations. The members are selected by a committee that chooses based on whom they think will have the most influence and do the best to improve the nation. They get 2/3 of the say in all votes concerning new laws. It is fairly liberal in its laws, but still keeps the common people with having to worry about politics. It is headed by the Supreme Minister, who has full veto power. A 9/10 majority is needed to overturn his veto.

The populace elect the lower council. This is comprised of 501 people, all sent from their respective regions. They mostly decide on issues concerning taxes and money, and get 1/3 of the votes concerning new laws. The Vice-Minister Vassily Gremikov is in charge of the Lower Council, and has full veto power over their decisions. A 4/5 majority is needed to overturn his veto.

The rest of the governmental tasks are headed by smaller councils and assemblies, selected by the councils above depending on their importance.

Link to map claim (optional): would prefer Any part of western Eurasian or western Asian lands, but would like as little coast as possible.
Are you willing to drastically alter your nation in order to fit with Tiandi canon?: indeed

Accepted.

Do you want to be landlocked, or do you want to have at least some coast? Would you like to be a former Korean colony?

I could deal with some coast, though I think being landlocked would add an interesting aspect. I will leave it up to your judgement, but I would probably prefer landlocked.

I am perfectly fine with that.

In order to make rp easier it is requested that I extend my claim to the coast.

As such, I would like to make thee following changes:
-extending a very small part of my border to the coast, just enough for one moderate city and the surrounding area.
-Increasing population to 13,000,000 in order to fill in the new area
-I have already spoken to sab(who recommended this whole thing) and want to increase my military to 175,000 active and 150,000 reserve.
