Preamble

Entrance was originally meant to be called Starcra, but a glitch in the server said that that name was taken, so the name was based on my website at the time 'Digimon Entrance', I took the Entrance. However, later on another nation, Starcra II was created for other purposes (Will be seen when I create Starcra II's page) and since then these nations have been one and the same. The politics represented in my nation are those of my own and I don't roleplay as such since the nation leader, Prince Darryl, is more or less just like me. Don't be fooled by the word 'Prince' it's not a monarchy, the Prince is purely the descendant of the founder. I can't think of anything else to say in this preamble so I'll get on with the description.


Regional History

This nation was created in the South Pacific and stayed there for just over a year, after which I the nation had been planning to move to another region and chose the easy way out - The Rejected Realms, it currently resides there and will so for another year.

Previously being the only nation it was the most active, but now, having two, it is the least active and is there purely to deal with daily issues, attempt to achieve #1 in the UN rankings and grow in population. In fact stats for both Entrance and Starcra II should be counted on Entrance's ratings.

For a brief time, Entrance formed part of the UN during which the proposal 'Solar Panels for All' was proposed and it achieved over 20 approvals with no telegram campaign. 'Solar Panels for All' was the first version of 'Promotion of Solar Panels'. Later, Entrance left the UN wishing to return to the old life it had.

History

Entrance originally seperated from the rest of NS and became distinguishable as it's own area sometime around 5 BC where Werewolves, the regions national animal, roamed freely.

In the 1500's the first people arrived and immediately set up homes living in harmony with the Werewolves, mostly. The leader of the troup that found the land was Prince Darryl, at the time there was no system of government so he made the laws, and the eldest sons of his descendants taking his place. All of them being named Darryl.

In the 1800's the sense of a government was formed, but this was still preceeded over by the Prince, and as such no elections took place, but appointments.

The year 1910 is considered the pinnacle of the nation's history. This was the first year an election took place and since then a government with elections has taken place every five years with the Prince being a representative.

The style from the 1920's - 1950's is still practised throughout most of Entrance, meaning the fashion still revolves around Tuxedo's and dresses, and old styled cars are a favourite. Regardless of that, science is one of the best in the world as it has researched into advance technologies.

It was in the 1960's that the nation became awre of the environment and began to pass laws that protected it such as the 'Werewolf Preservation Bill' which protects Werewolves and their habitats.

There have been no internal or external wars or threats in Entrance to date. Strife is at a minimum and while there are differences in wealth, everyone has a sanitary home and enough to eat. Employment is high along with income tax, but the citizens are willing to pay in return for the benefits they receive.


Geography

The nation is an archipelago in the South Western side of the world. The smaller island next to it is called Exit and is run by the same government. Exit is also called Moonuis. It should be noted that anyone can drive from one side of Entrance to the other in about an hour maximum with traffic, it's not a big island.

Entrance is divided into four areas :-

Area 1 - Franambia. This is the industrial sector, 85% of the nations factories are found in this area. 70% of the sector is taken up by the industry, 20% is residential, 5% are irrigational areas and 5% are unused.

Area 2 - Icno. This is the greatest tourist area in Entrance, filled with different activities and hotels. 50% is filled with hotels, motels and rentable flats, 35% is filled with various services such as malls and the such. The remaining 15% are residential homes.

Area 3 - Philond. This is where most of the excitement is, the lights in this area make it seem like it's the afternoon at night. It's home to many casino's and nightclubs but is also home to the few gangsters and mobs in Entrance. 40% are casinos, 40% are nightclubs, 19% are residential and 1% are hotels.

Area 4 - Runtundoa. Here we have most of the energy generated, there are very few residential areas with the exeption of those who work here. 90% are energy factories while 10% are Residential homes and a university. Entrance's energy generation methods are as follows : 50% Solar energy, 20% Fossil fuels, 10% Wind energy, 10% Biomass and Hydroelectric, 7% Geothermal and 3% Nuclear energy.

Exit is also divided into the following four areas :-

Area 1 - Wanopia. This was originally water but a city was built over the water to help decrease the density of the population. 80% of this area is residential, 10% are hotels, 10% are tertiary sector areas.

Area 2 - Planimia. 80% of Entrance's Werewolves live in this area, so as such, with the exception of reserves, there are no people living here. 90% is pure rainforest and countryside, 10% are nature reserves and tourist attractions.

Area 3 - Wivona. This is the desert of Entrance. While it is not extreme enough to prevent people living here, few people do. 70% is pure desert, 20% is residential, 5% are casinos and 5% are reserves

Area 4 - Rocknamora. Here lies most of the stuff that isn't above. 50% are government departments, 40% is full of theatres and newspaper printing presses. The final 10% is made up of a mixture of various stuff found in other sectors.


Politics

There are many political parties in Entance, one lists about 27, but only few are the ones that are even considered when it comes to an election. However, every party has a few supporters.

The history of the nations Politics starts off in 1910, when there was the first election in Entrance, this led to the election of the Democrats into parliament and they remained there for a few elections.

In 1922 the Democratic Socialists were elected to replace the Democrats and they served for one term. This was a close election resulting in Democratic Socialist having 50.6% of the vote and the Democrats having 40.2%. The rest of the vote was split up amongst other candidates.

In 1926, the Authoritarians stepped up. However after just one year, a vote of no confidence was cast throughout 90% of Entrance and they were forced to step down as per the Entrance charter. A mini-election was held in 1927 to decide the replacement, this was only held with the five closest races in the previous election - these being the Democrats, Democratic Socialists, Libertarians, Consumerists and Utopians. The Democratic Socialists won and served not only the next three years, but continued to be elected for several years.

Two decades after the Democratic Socialists were elected, the Libertarians were voted in, the first change of government since the brief time the Authoritarians were elected.

However, in 1950 (Two years after the election) the Libertarians stepped down after a scandal was discovered about their Prime Minister. The Libertarians party leader was immediately changed and the second mini-election was conducted with the four close-runs of the previous election, The Utopians, Democrats, Democratic Socialists and Capitalists. Once again, the people of Entrance showed faith in the Democratic Socialists and they were elected. They have since been elected for every election.

Due to the type of Politics, the nation enjoys very good civil rights with a fair economy. But the region marvels at the nations ability to have excellent political freedoms and still have the Democratic Socialists being chosen by the majority of Entrance every election.

Religion

The nations religion is split up into an overwhelming majority of 98% being Christian, and with 1% being Jewish and another 1% being Athiests.

Of the Christians, 50% are Roman Catholics, 20% Protestant, 20% Bible Baptist and 10% Orthodox.

Regardless of the religious nature the people of Entrance are in generally comfortable discussing and debating religion as well as the possibilities of reincarnation, magic and various religious happening.
