Global Syzygy League​

Government Type: Syzygy - a style of governance most akin to a technocracy, with particular priorities given to achieving national self reliance, multiculturalism, and not only world peace, but sustainable global prosperity and, ultimately, the unification of the peoples of the world under a single diverse Syzygyist government.

Government Foreign Policies: Typically, the G.S.L. remains silent when it comes to controversies and conflicts, preferring performing quiet and practical solutions to issues rather than bickering over the morality of any given situation.

Capital: Rotates throughout the top ten most populated cities of the country.

Economic System Type: Liberal socialism.

Currency: Syzygyian Credit.

Population: 2,521,352,953.

Languages: The Syzygyist government recognizes every spoken and written language of the world in an official capacity.

Religions: Every religion of the world can be found practiced within the League's borders, and as such, the people are unusually tolerant of beliefs different from their own.

Cultures: The people are perhaps some of the most diverse of the world, as contrasts in heritage are cherished rather than erased by means of assimilation.

History: Nearly a century ago, several countries linked by an economic and political alliance proposed a more centralized organization following the aftermath of a devastating regional conflict. Ever since, the G.S.L. has doggedly pursued a better future of globalist idealism by practicing isolationist blindness.

International Reputation: One would be hard-pressed to find a nation of the world that views the Global Syzygy League negatively. For centuries the state has successfully maintained a policy of armed neutrality as conflicts waged around it, preferring instead to spearhead aid programs and disaster relief efforts abroad in order to remain favored impartial meditators when the negotiations begin. As a result, the G.S.L. hosts and serves as a safe haven to nearly every minority, international business, political organization, sports championship, and world fair in existence.

International Relations: League embassies are present in many foreign capitals outside its borders.

Military: Largely paramilitary in nature, every willing and able citizen is a member of the League's self-defense forces militias, who usually possesses at minimum an assault rifle, armband, and above average marksmanship. Ranked by mental and physical health, loyalty to the state, and basic competence, soldiers are trusted with and receive better equipment as their position improves.

Nation + Flag: Axlo Confederacy

Leader/s:

Majority Governing Party [If Any]:

Government Type: Constitutional Monarchy

Government Foreign Policies: Very open, especially with trade. The Confederacy has historically been somewhat military active, ensuring that the soldiers have experience while trying to avoid damaging the economy with drawn out total war.

Capital City: Axlonia

Economic System Type:

Currency: Casano

Population:

Language: Portano

Religion [If Any]:

Culture and Social Normalities:

History and Foundation:

International Reputation: The Confederacy is best known for its massive growing and shipment of both medical and recreational drugs. Part of this is owed to the fact that it is a trading power, a giant that, if another nation decides to end trade, they will hurt. Along with drugs, a variety of tropical/foreign food and oil are other major factors that contribute the trading giant and make other nations think twice before crossing them.

[Axel The Englishman]

Nation:
The Kingdom of Saxoch

"Securitatem. Sacrificium. Fidem."
"Security. Sacrifice. Faith."

Leader/s:
Lord Minister Benjamin Croft / His Royal Majesty, King Nigel VII

Majority Governing Party [If Any]:
The Conservative Nationalist Collective / The Conats

Government Type:
Unitary Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy

Government Foreign Policies:
Global Reformation - Saxoch routinely conducts military campaigns across the globe to root out terror organisations, corrupt governments, and rogue states.

Capital City:
Trostlin

Economic System Type:
Free Market Capitalism

Currency:
The Royal Dokman

Population:
103 million Registered Citizens

Language:
Sax

Religion [If Any]:
Nicolism

Culture and Social Normalities:
The culture of Saxoch strongly roots itself in sport and combat: key components to the traditional national identity of the country. The origins of the Sax as a hardy people fending off the dangers of the nation’s boreal forests has developed a sense of pride in the martial arts. A Sax born and bred will almost undoubtedly have been taught a form of combat sport throughout their years.

The Sax, as a people, are deeply devoted to the teachings of Saint Nicolas. Countrymen are keen to pursue the prospects of knowledge to further their understanding of the world and the universe that envelops them. A majority of citizens are recorded to have a Higher Academic Study in either Triple Science, History, Geography, and/or Mathematics. Such a stance on academics has also led to the development of the Royal Space Program.

Perhaps the most iconic trait of the natives of Saxoch would be their strong nationalist beliefs, considering themselves as a chosen people who bear a right to make their mark on the planet and assimilate the rest of their world under their own laws and system of governing. Prideful and boastful, they often take great offence to anyone with the audacity to insult their country or their way of life.

History and Foundation:
The modern Kingdom of Saxoch stems from ancient tribes inhabiting the island from approximately 1,700 years ago during the Age of Dogma, which had - at the time - recently achieved independence from the rule of the long-extinct Empire of Yord after the defeat of the invaders during the Battle of Bailis Coast. The newly-liberated people, however, remained at a technological standstill until approximately 600 years later after the Viruler invasion, who had introduced the process of metalworking and thus leading to extensive progress in a multitude of practical fields. Such a thing would eventually prove to be the undoing of the Virulers, eventually being forced out of the country during the 10th century by weapons crafted by their own methods of production.

During the 13th century, the revered Saint Nicolas of Dorcest - a native to the Isle of Jork, to the north of the island of Saxoch - launched his own military campaign against the island and promptly assumed control over every territory formally controlled by independent kingdoms, unifying the conquered regions under his own enclave and establishing his new purview of reign as a nation. His rule saw the introduction of the Customs Legal System, the installation of Nicolism, and the modernisation of the education system, eventually leading to astonishing developments in the arts and sciences. The armies of Saxoch during his reign would also go on to indoctrinate and develop the military strategies employed by Nicolas into their own doctrines of militaristic approach.

Between the 1500s to 1800s, the Kingdom of Saxoch expanded its territory to form a grand and wealthy empire, after the development of long distance naval methods of travel, lasting approximately 400 years until its collapse in 1927 primarily due to financial instability caused by international conflicts, and crown dependencies were made their own sovereign states with the signing of the Act of Independence 1957.

In the later half of the 20th century, Saxoch has assumed the role of an international military policing force - caused by a wave of terror attacks conducted by organisations existing in the Underdeveloped World - carrying out a number of military campaigns in what is quoted to be an “act of global reformation”.

International Reputation:
As of recent, Saxoch has acquired an infamous reputation amongst the global community for its international military campaigns against a multitude of terror organisations and rogue states that have been deemed as a potential danger to the security of the country. Such a stance has earned the country a reputation as a global policing force, and their rather intense foreign policies often lead other nations regarding it as a militarist state above all else.

As of now, There are 802,521 military regulars, along with 300,521 reserve personnel.

[Axel The Englishman]

Name + Title and Honourifics:
Sir Benjamin Croft, Lord Minister of the Kingdom of Saxoch



Age:
62 Years

Sex:
Male

Notable History and Analysis:
Croft hails from the rural coastal town of Huncheborough located in the South of Saxoch in the county of Russex, born on the 4th of January in 1931 during a major conflict between the government and separatist organisations located in the North. The hostilities resulted in the death of his mother and father - who were journalists reporting on the events that took place - and thus grew up with his traditional conservative grandparents. Whilst academically gifted and physically developed, Croft was known for violent outbursts which had made him a recluse during his younger years.

After reaching the age of 16, Croft joined the Royal Army under the Juvenile Cadet Enlistment Program and completed his higher learning education at the Vickers Military College as a Junior Soldier. He continued to remain in service and transferred to the 5th Airborne Division at 18 years of age. Croft went on to serve two Tours of Duty, during which he had acquired the Heroic Service Cross and the St. Frederick Honour. At 21, he was inducted into the Army’s Office of Special Military Operations and served under 1. Commando in its Air Troop for the rest of his 24-year military term, eventually assuming command of the entire commando unit altogether.

After leaving service with several military distinctions under his belt, Croft soon ventured into the world of politics, believing his country to be only a fragment of what it formerly was. His no-nonsense attitude and ability to deliver on his political promises made him a popular candidate for the 1976 election, winning by a 82% landslide majority against his counterpart. He has gone on to serve his 5th term in office and was officially knighted in 1986 for his contributions to the nation.

As of now, he still remains the popular choice of the people, and it seems as if that isn’t going to change anytime soon.

Personality:
Croft is widely recognised for his agressive, no-nonsense approach in politics. Whilst he remains a controversial figure in the international community for recent actions carried out on his order, he is undoubtedly a popular icon amongst nationalists and conservatives across the globe. He has gained an infamous reputation for his outbursts that appear in all shapes and manner, and leaders of nations from across the globe question whether a man like him should be given nuclear access codes. No matter the backlash he brings upon himself, Croft always justifies his actions. In response to a humanitarian organisation demanding his impeachment for the recent invasion of an underdeveloped country with links to terrorist cells, Croft smugly returned with “I honestly don’t understand why the hate me. This is a nation where it is a social norm to murder those who differentiate from what a ‘sacred’ book has taught you. I’m fighting for human rights better than these planks ever could”.​

United States of Aorashone

Leader:
President. William Harris

Majority Governing Party:
Representative Party

Government Type:
Constitutional federal representative democracy

Government Foreign Policies:
Aorashone maintains an open diplomacy policy for all nations in-order to promote international peace and economic stability. It does however keep its military on-hand if plan A does not work which has been pointed out many times in the past.

Capital City:
Columbus

Economic System Type:
Free Market Capitalism

Currency:
Buck

Population:
261.4 Million

Language:
Sax

Religion:
Nicolism
Athiesm

Culture and Social Normalities:
Their nation having been born from the ashes of a fierce civil war with their oppressive overlords, most Aorashonans and their culture at large hold the ideals of freedom, liberty and equality among all as the key building blocks of their government and society. Being the first nation to introduce equal voting for all men and women over the age of 18 and the first to legalize gay marriage in certain-more liberal states though it is yet to be legalized on a federal level. As a further result of their nation's way of coming into existence, Aorashonans have an extreme distaste for imperialism and oppression and will typically throw themselves into the fray if another people's or their own freedom is threatened. As such one should expect that the idea of soveriegnity is among the most important for Aorashonans and the very idea of a "one-world government" disgusts them.

Though Aorashonans themselves can't exactly be described as fanatic militarists or ultranationalists like some others, there is known to be a healthy, sane level of patriotism embedded in the population and a great admiring and respect towards the armed forces for stepping up to the task of protecting the nation and its people. However this does not mean they will blindly follow their government, Aorashonans love their country and the ideas it stands for, not their government depending on what their political stances are. Most Aorashonans believe in their right to take up arms against their government if it were to ever become oppressive and authoritarian as is expected of any good Aorashonan.

Freedom of religion, speech, the press and expression are all greatly encouraged and held dearly by all Aorashonans. However whilst one can say whatever they please, one should also expect to recieve backlash from those who would disagree as is their right also. All Aorashonans indulge in what they call their way of life, as their nation is among the most prosperous, wealthy and productive in the world they are free to enjoy an extremely high standard of living and so entertainment is not only huge in Aorashone but beyond huge as such the country leads the world in the development of commercial electronics and technology. This interest in easy living, curiosity and entertainment also leading to a huge investment in the sciences, which many Aorashonan youth are greatly interested in.

History and Foundation:
Formed in the early 18th Century, the rapid rise and development of the United States of Aorashone from a collection of loosely tied colonies half way around the world from the Kingdom of Saxoch to a global power capable of extending its influence anywhere at anytime is something that has until now not been recorded at any other point in history. And this has been largely connected by historians to the vast amount of immigration it recieved upon its declaring of being an independent nation and as it was described at the time a "lone island of freedom and liberty in a sea of tyranny and oppression" Largely from the Kingdom of Saxoch, the nation it had just engaged in a long and brutal civil war in order to declare its independence in the first place. This immigration along with the already present formerly Saxoch population had secured its future as a Sax-speaking, caucasian nation which it has remained till this very day.

In the span of little more than two centuries, the United States of Aorashone expanded rapidly across what is now known today as Continental Aorashona, and though it is a subject not many like to bring up this did involve some hypocrisy on their half as their invasion of the native peoples of the continent had led sometimes unintentionally and sometimes intentionally to the complete elimination of the people in the area. A pattern that would repeat until only Aorashonans lived on the continent, establishing great cities from coast to coast and connecting it all with revolutionary railroads and highways which ensured quick and easy travel. An economy even greater than their cities was built as Aorashone opened itself up to investing in others and being invested in, with its trade booming across the oceans of the world, assisted and protected by their new Navy which had for a large part of the 19th and 20th century been the world's most advanced thanks to their comparatively great political and economic stability.

However despite the formation of a powerful military, the US did not engage in any global spanning conflicts as part of its policy of isolationism. Instead having chosen at the time to supply whatever side they agreed most with and recieving large payments in return post-war which further helped to boost their still growing and booming economy. However as the later half of the 20th century arrived, Aorashone found itself becoming increasingly bogged down politically, economically and militarily in multiple small insurgencies in developing countries around the world in-order to protect their interests and to ensure their way of life remained a popular one to aspire to in other parts of the world to guarantee their soft power over large parts of the world did not waver due to foreign influence. These small, painful wars have become a touchy subject in Aorashonan politics as it is a constant topic of debate in the government even to today in whether or not those wars were justified or not.

International Reputation:
Aorashone has an immensely positive reputation around the world with some exceptions from those politically or ideologically opposed to it and those tiny 3rd countries that it has invaded in the past. It is seen as one of the only truly free lands in the world either due to other major nations being too oppressive in their way of ruling or their societal structure being too demanding of people. In some cases however it can be seen as a bully-esque character using its strength to intimidate smaller powers into doing what it wants which the Aorashonan government has been trying to fix for decades now.

International Relations:

Military + Summary:

The Continental Military is the offensive and defensive government sanctioned force of the Aorashonan nation and people. Sworn to defend their way of life, their ideals and most of all their countrymen from any threat foreign or domestic, it is a sound argument to make albeit one that can be opposed without doubt that Aorashone hosts the world's most powerful armed forces. Simply due to a combination of logistical finesse, the economic powerhouse that backs it, the advanced technology that it equips even its most lowly personnel with and the sheer numbers of it all. Formed from the Colonial Defense Force in 1754, the Military as it is currently known was officially recognized and enstated by President. Howard Warrington in 1760. Though all fit and capable males and females of Aorashone 18 or above are required to sign up for a draft if it is ever required, so far it has never been required and has existed solely as a volunteer service with approximately 1.7 million in active-duty and additional 800,000 in reserve roles.
