Overview
The Armed Republic of Nordir is a relatively large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its strong, anti-buisness politics. Its stable and homogenous population of 125 million are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which acts as a vanguard for the Nation's interests. In regular lives, citizens remain relatively unoproessed with a bill of reasonable civil rights. The national animal is the Eagle, which flies freely and magestically throughout the unpolluted skies of this wonderful reich. The currency is the Nordic Credit, which is mostly electronically stored.
A strong sense of National unity, honor and integrity exists almost universally in Nodir. Citizens are fiercely loyal to the National cause. Foreign influence is frowned upon, in an intellectual ethnocentric sort of manor. This is due to the racial and trbial homogeniety of this nation's history. The economy is mostly centrally administered, and top priorities are Law and Order, Healthcare, Education, and Defense. The surrounding community views this culture as corrupt, but to the citizens of Nordir, anything else would be destructive, degenerate, backwards and unthinkable.
Geography
Nordir is a large peninsula and a few large islands located in the frozen northlands. It has many rivers, mountains and forests. The peninsula has a mountain range along the base, making the Nation easily defendable from land invasion.
Government and laws
Nordir has an innovative form of government known as a National Collective Meritocracy. The Nation is laregely politically governed by a branch called the executive command, a department that goes down from the chancellor to a common policeman: all governed in meritocratic manors. This dictatorship acts as a vanguard for the nation's interests, dealing with issues that become corrupted if left up to popular opinion. Instead of having politicians and officials who seek only to be re-elected, Nordir has top-notch proffessionals that work for the good of the nation. Many economic and social descisions are made by the National Soviet. While not having nearly as much political power as the Executive command, the National Soviet is a network of assemblies that cooperates with executive officials in order to take care of local or regional affairs, and as a mild balance for the executive command. Private enterprise is almost completely illegal, the "private sector" consists mainly of small, local buisness owners that are heavily taxed. Socialism and Nationalism are highly valued principles in Nordir, resulting in little economic or political freedoms, but extensive civil rights. Citizens are able to do much as they please, as long as it is not destructive to the state. Violent criminals are either sent to the extensive network of labor camps or excecuted. While the omnipresent socially-minded government cares for its own people, it has little concern for outsiders. All non-Nordiri immigration is illegal, and only ethnic Nordiri can hold citizenship. If overpopulation and squalor becomes a problem in Nordir, wars are fought for living space and bare rescources. Petty, pointless offenses such as drug use are legal. There is a huge industry in marjuana, psilocybin mushrooms, LSD, peyote, and alcohol. These products are heavily taxed to avoid widespread abuse, and at the same time, the vices of the masses earn money for the hard-working.
Armed Forces
The branches of law enforcement and military include: The Offensive Legion (Army), The Shield Legion (National Guard), The Air Force, The Storm Legion (Elite soldiers), and the National Armada. The National Armada now includes a fleet of starships. An elite police and intelligence agency known simply as "The Order" is feared and respected. Service in one of these branches is compulsory for a minimum of two years.
Ethnicity
The Nordiri are nearly all descendents of nordic indo-europeans. They are typically tall, fair haired, blue or green eyed, and have fair skin. There are a minority of black haired and red haired individuals, although these are not nearly as commonplace as the fair haired majority. Nordiri are taller than most races, the average adult male is about 6' 2.
Economy
The economy of Nordir is mainly centrally administered, allowing for some mild, non-destructive buisness that is heavily taxed. Religious organizations are allowed, however they are heavily taxed. Much of the economy is run by the executive command, but some descisions are challenged and compromised by the National Soviet. Some major industries include: Agriculture, mining, arms manufacturing, publishing, marijuana, the arts, and many more. The economy, like the population is steady, but not threatening to literally consume everything the nation stands for. The socialistic government taxes citzens proporionately to their wealth. They're are virtually no classes in most of Nordir, with some people falling through the cracks, and some rising above. There is inscentive to strive for excellence, as well as a safety net for unfortunate citizens. Healthcare, employment, and housing is universal.
Territorial Claims
Nordir is investing in an extensive space program, establishing colonies on Mars, and a few of Jupiter and Saturn's moons. Large environental projects are undertaken on these new landscapes, the ultimate goal is to create new Earths. Stolen technology from international corpotations is very helpful in establishing these territories.
Cities and Infrastructure
The Nation has an extensive public transport system including an intricate subway, monorail, flight and bus system. The inner cities consist of appartments, various government run industry stations, and very small buisness. The countryside is very well preserved, there are huge agricultural fields outside of the cities. The inner cities are very developed, there are huge residential sectors underground and in skyscrapers. Cities are divided into Districts, which in turn are divided into sectors, which in turn are divided into neighborhoods. These are intricatly designed collectives, and have their respective executive command and National Soviet officials, as well as divisions of the police force.
Religion
The religion of Nordir is an ancient Nordic religion with strong values of honor and harmony with nature. It advocates balance and stability while reaching for excellence. Today, the religion is not taken seriously by most, but it's values still are strongly engrained in the Nordiri. Most Nordiri have awknowleged science and evolution as nature's law, however many see interesting parellels between natural history , written history, and Nordiri mythology.
