Gwazzaria is situated in the coastal region of Hyper Nordica. It is a mostly urban nation, relying on the ocean for most of its food. The temperate rainforests surrounding it have remained relatively well preserved, due to an avoidance of the use of wood and minute farming industry. Its economy is manufacturing based, and heavily reliant on robots.
History
Though in name a Grand Duchy, Gwazzaria holds no allegiance to any higher monarchial authority and has maintained its position as a sovereign nation for centuries.
Gwazzaria recently underwent a major coup, instigated by the current ruler and a small faction of supporters. This coup was carried off by control of the factory robots of the nation, seizing control of production. This caused numerous factory robots to develop serious programming malfunctions, and runn off. The past ducal family went into exile, and Indrik Vandegraff took control.
Recently, Gwazzaria has been embroiled in the civil war of Danteri. At first favoring the rebels and providing medical aid, in light of atrocities comitted on either side they have shifted their position to simply helping Danteri civillians indiscriminately.
Politics
Gwazzaria is firmly and unabashedly a dictatorship. The status as Grand Duchy and title of Duke have been kept simply for traditional purposes, and to avoid changing the stationary design.
The government operates on a philosophy of "Never do yourself what can be delegated to someone else." The result has been a relatively inefficient, sprawling bureaucracy, full of numerous ministries, sub-ministries, over-ministries, and departments. Because of this, the government has become the largest employer in the country.
Industries
Private enterprise is illegal in Gwazzaria, though many corporation owners maintined their position as government employees overseeing their industry. Major industries are automobile manufacture (the term "automobile" referring to any self-moving vehicle), specifically in helicopter production, medical technology, and fishing.
Gwazzaria recently consented to a free trade agreement for the Hyper Nordica region.
