CPCPKCRPCACPR
Population: 150 million.
Capital: The Autonmous Oblast of Adminstrative functions.
Primary Biome: Steppes. Lots and lots of Steppes.
History: After the success of the continued existence of Breadbasket this agrarian society was uprooted by it's workers and was involved in an attempt at creating the socialist utopia. Unfortunately the regions culture put an overemphasis on centralization of authority lead to an intrusive bureacracy and several power struggles that finally resulted in the capital of the nation gaining self rule from the rest of the nation in 1895. This has resulted in a horrible inefficent state faced with constant starvation and police crackdowns. Such crackdowns have resulted in the Punitive Oblast becoming the most populated city in the nation. If you can really call it a nation that is.

CANAL
The strip of land separating the middle east from Africa long has been a battleground. It is a hotly-desired strip of land, as whoever can control both sides of the naturally occurring canal here can control lucrative trade routes between Europe and Asia, as well as Southern Africa.

But for the same reason it was so tightly desired, no country could possibly allow another one to take complete control of the canal, as it gave them too much power. So for ages, both sides of the canal faded back in forth between a hodgepodge of different European and African nations. Each one, after they established a rule that was doomed to failure, would bring in some of their own citizens to try and cement their control over the canal, as well as get control over the complex beaurocracy that controlled traffic and taxes in the region. They also would change the name of the Canal every time they conquered. It went from the Watery Narrow Cupcake to the People's Canal of the Proletariat to the Murderal. The ever-diversifying population decided to abate the confusion and just call it Canal, and the name stuck.

Two centuries ago, a Mawnese fleet was able to get control of both sides of the canal. But the Mawnese are a shrewd people. They knew that they would end up going the way of every other country ever to plant their flag in the swampy soil. So they set up a corporation with an international board of businessmen and gave them control of Canal, in exchange for a cut of the taxes and priority entry for their merchant marine fleet.

CanalCorp was a disaster. Their reign was marked by widespread corruption, near-constant layoffs and pay cuts for the workers as well as ill-advised promotions such as one where you could half price off the entry fee for bringing a strange insect. This is how malaria first came to the marshes of Canal.

Eventually the workers got fed up and threw out the CanalCorps management. Now the country is run by the union, and if anything is even less efficient and even more corrupt, but at least the people and the Mob are happy.

FAST FACTS FOR CANAL
Biome: Canal
Population: 50,000 mixed ethnic groups from around Africa and Europe
Government style: Union rule
Main industry: Canals
Secondary industry: Canal-related products and manufacturing
Motto: Look! A Canal!

Hey Hey Swanson, GT, Kio how about a little less TALKY TALKY and a little more nation building, eh? Woodrow Wilson would be proud.

Look, Stair. Why don't you separate Africa from Europe, we can bring them together in a glorious fusion after they are complete.

Also, why don't you revoke the two posts rule so you and I can crank this shit out!

Arcane Land

Population: 400,000
Primary biome: Plains, but also some mountainous regions
Primary export: Several different industries, produce

Arcane Land, founded around 3000 B.C., is a land of magic and wonder. Well, it's not magic, but they seem to think it is. In this land, the plants and wildlife are full of special chemicals that cause mutations. However, instead of like becoming disfigured, they get special powers, which they consider to be magical.

With the entire population being given "magic", they have achieved amazing levels of prosperity. Farmers who can just make plants grow willy nilly, people able to somehow put together machines with their minds, it's really all quite amazing. They've become a super nation of industry and farming, being a major source of food and tools.

However, the people of this nation are all a bunch of nerds. Also jerks. For some reason, the popular sports of this land are games such as Dungeons&Dragons, why they would play games about things they already can do is beyond me. And I am apparently omniscient or something.

In addition, despite having people who can randomly throw fireballs, they are really easy to bully, and nations sometimes decide to walk over and pillage. They've engaged in few wars, usually they go for appeasement.

Immigrating into Arcane Land is very hard, as you have to answer fifty of the "Secret Questions", which are all really stupid riddles that are supposedly for assuring that one is ready to learn their ways. In addition, they refuse to let any "magical herbs", plants with "magic" in them, leave the nation, and treat these plants with "anti-magic"

Also they roll dice for no reason before using magic

THE DARK SHORES (colloquial name to describe the region, no actual nation)

The Dark Shores cover most of the northern coast of Africa, and right away tell you why so many people do trade through either the Atlantic or Canal. It is thousands of mile of dark, bland nothingness. Nothing grows in the grey sand where it meets the grey waters of the Unassuming Sea, and the only sea life that lives in the area are the Effoff Clam, the only animal known to live off no sustinence but spite. They were briefly considered a luxury in Lustre, in spite of their horrible taste, btu even that opulent nation soon bored of the disagreeable mollusk.

It is uninhabitable, and those who try to cross its length frequently lose their mind from sheer boredom. No government holds sway, and there is only one settlement of any significant size: the town of Braveport at the mouth of the Sigh river, where many supplies are sent into the interior to avoid the frequent conflicts in nearby Canal.

Braveport is the quintessential port town, with all the good and bad things this entails. It is filled with the many businesses that cater to sailors: taverns, tattoo shops, doctors specializing in sex change operations, brothels, transgendered brothels and lots of lots of prostitutes. The town lives fast and loose to keep their mind off the grey nothingness that surrounds them. Nowhere is Braveport better personified then in the saying of its founder, Alastair Brinbatch III, which is inscribed in a statue of him in the town square: "Let the lights of Braveport always shine and beat back the sighing darkness ... the omnipresent, ever-watching darkness ... oh God, oh God, life is pointless and I wish I had a uterus."

Ecentria
Population: 90,000
Brief: During the pre-apoctlyptic societal collapse of the 900s this region was the only stable society and as a result became the refuge of western learning. There an intellectual culture developed that was hampered by the fact that for all their technology they made their aqueducts out of lead. This lead to increasingly high dementia rates in the population. It is no surprise that this was the homeland of Dr.Himmerous Crumbs, specialist in pseudo-real animals and statesman. Regardless of it's famous figures over the last few hundred years it has been going off the loose end only staying together because of it's methodical madness. One of the biggest incidents was the 1876 banning of the study of aerodynamics with the development of the now internationally banned LASER* blimp.

Posted Image

The other was the banning of applied nuclear physics as it did not strike the Head Primier Man of Science Resolution J. Mackard's fancy. As a result Encentria's prototype jet engines and centrifuges were sold to the lowest bidder of Killbodia. Ecentira would then spend the money on a failed attempt to develop a hot air balloon to take them to the sun.
Primary biome: Evergreen.

DINOSAUR ISLAND
What? No, you are crazy. There are no dinosaurs on Dinosaur Island. It's not even an island. It's connected to the mainland by the protuberance land bridge, the world's thinnest isthmus.

The place is kind of a shithole. Some rich guy came there a while back with this brilliant idea that he would clone dinosaurs using dinosaur DNA found in fossilized mosquitoes. Then he would make some kind of super-rich theme park out of it all.

This is bullshit. You can't do that. It's not possible. When he didn't realize this, he set Komodo Dragons loose on the island, but it's not the same thing. Still, the island wasn't that great before, so the locals bought into it. To this day, Dinosaur Island's primary industry is tourism, farming the extreme disappointment of the throngs who come to the island expecting to see dinosaurs and instead just get a bunch of overgrown iguanas.

Not all the natives went along with the plan, founding the town of "This Shit Is So Stupid". There, they are free to concentrate on the original activities of the natives of Dinosaur Island, that being abject poverty.
