History

After the movement of SEBTS to Akinland, the people began to tire of the rigirous moralistic strains put onto them. yes most of them believed exactly what SEBTS believed, but they continually coerced into doing what they thought they should have a choice in doing. In particular, the island of Jefferson was becoming increasingly uptight about the situation in SEBTS. On the fateful day on November 5th, 2005, a masked man by the name of V rode an underground subway car filled with explosives underneath Binkley Chapel, ensured that there was noone inside the building, and then detonated the car. The impact was felt throughout the Holy Republic, as countless people rose up in revolt. The signing of the Declaration of Independence of Novembaria made sure that all Novembarians were free from SEBTS, and that the President knew it. The Presidential Guard were hard pressed to totally put down the revolt, and with the intercession of Germania United, most of the Island of Jefferson won their freedom. They quickly named their country Novembaria, and made sure to put V on their flag. As democratic elections spread throughout Akinland, Novembaria started off on good terms with most of them, so long as they guarenteed the liberty of their populace. Founder of ALE, most liberty loving nations of Akinland have joined in the alliance. However, not all was well within the Free Lands of Novembaria, as a rogue General known only as Bruce Ashford launched his army in an attempt to reunite Novembaria and SEBTS. Although SEBTS denies that they are in fact the ones that sent the troops, it is not deniable however, that the brunt of the force was SEBTS Mercenaries, mixed with the Presidential Guard. However, with the help of Ed Gravely, Novembaria's army, the Velghast literally destroyed the rogue SEBTS army witin a matter of hours at the Battle of Raleigh Heights. Relations with the two countries have been strenous at best since the incident.

Economy

• http://nseconomy.thirdgeek.com/nseconomy.php?nation=Novembaria
• The unfettered and unrestrained Economy in Novembaria is quite a force to be reckoned with. Already replacing the GDP of SEBTS, it will soon replace the United States' GDP, and perhaps even Norway's by the end of the next decade. With no trade taxes, nor tariffs, the economy is booming at such a high price. However, the ecology of Novembaria has taken a severe hit, and corporations are beginning to realize this, as the market corrects itself in order to help protect the enviroment. Perhaps the main export of Novembaria is its ideology, and as such Book Publishing has become quite an important market force. In fact, the largest company in Novembaria is Mosaic Eye, which is a publisher of philosophical books. The Autumn River is the main source of energy in the country, as an attempt to preserve the rather endangered enviroment is on the way.
