Gevon the Heartland

The Nationalist Free States of Gevon is a huge, highly developed, economically powerful nation in the Federation of Allied Nations, holding a vast swath of territory in the Western landmass. In terms of land size and population, the Nationalist Free States is one of the largest in the region, and is seen by many to have a larger share of power in the region. It is a semi-presidential representative democratic republic in the laissez-faire style.

Gevonians tend to be rather radical in an economic sense, and this aggressive industrial policy has propelled the Gevonian economy to new heights. At the same time, however, Gevonians are some of the most center-right when it comes to social rights. Social equality is on the government's agenda, along with increasing civil rights and political freedoms. Residents and visitors to Gevon enjoy a unique combination of cultures, moderate civil rights, and prospering markets.

People and Culture

Ethnicity and population

The total number of Gevonians, at home and abroad, numbers around the five and a third billion mark. Residents are made up of over 50 different ethnic groups, the Anglo-Saxon, French, Russian and Hispanic groups are major while Large German ethnic populations are widespread, and other ethnicities include Slavic, Turkic, Japanese, Chinese or Indian.

Urban-rural distribution

Gevon is a predominately urban nation, with approximately 75.4% of its population living in cities, towns, and other urban areas, mainly in the New Hong and Lito Metropolian Areas. Many rural areas still attract a large percentage of the Gevonian population, however.

Life expectancy

Healthcare in Gevon is fully nationalized yet still overseen by the Health Ministry. As such, the current life expectancy for Gevonians is approximately 77 for females and 74 for males.

Gevonian culture

Gevonian comprise a nationalist-conserative nation and as such, they are highly suspious of other cultures, races, creeds, and ethnicities. Much of the educational focus in Gevon is on the humanities, arts, and science. Although society is very much foward-looking, Gevonians still retain an affection for national culture and national ceremonies.

Gevonian cuisine is famous throughout the region for being rather bland. It has mild French and Russian influences, with emphasis on meat, seafood, dessert and vegetable dishes. However, Asian cuisine is becoming increasingly popular as well. Because of the many ethnicities that comprise the Nationalist Free States, 'fusion'-type restaurants are popular too.

Suffrage

All Gevonians can smoke and drink legally at the age of twenty. Wine may be consumed legally at the age of eighteen. The voting age in Gevon is eighteen.

Religion

The Gevonian Government does not condone or condemn any religion, as freedom of religion is paramount in the NFS. About two-thirds to three-quarters of Gevonians are religious. Of these, approximately 80% are Christian (in Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox variaties), 9% follow Judaism, 9% are Muslim, and the remaining 1% follow different religions.
