[NationStates] The Republic of El'Basan

[Tomato150]

​

"The Republic of El Basan is a large, efficient nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 72 million El Basanians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.3%.

The all-consuming El Basanian economy, worth 7.19 trillion Butan Radiants a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 99,896 Butan Radiants, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 314,312 per year while the poor average 24,290, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

Unemployed taxi drivers ironically use self-driving cabs to reach employment offices, a new generation of aquariumless hotels are being built under government supervision, university graduates and new home-owners toil in labour camps to work off their debts, and the new prison system is crowding up at an alarming rate. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. El Basan's national animal is the Bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation."

As the portal from the Second Exodus closed, the Dwarves once again splintered into many different groups. The founders and fanatics of Irrcrawn went south to the arctic to continue their declining civilization in isolation from the rest of the world, and so did another group, heading across the ocean to an antarctic land far away from the main continents of the world. One other group formed under the leadership of Dwarven merchants and soldiers. That group decided to colonize a land near a strait leading from the warm inner seas of the world to the outer lands. Quickly, the new merchants established trade with the nearby colonies, and managed to secure deals for lumber and other building supplies for the group to grow with, leading to the construction and completion of Dwarven cities and forts both great in size and strength.

Unlikely allies soon grew between the Dwarves and their neighbors, the Moor Elves. The relation quickly grew as the Dwarves provided the Moors with stone and ore, to which they returned lumber and other supplies the Dwarves were not accustomed with. The mutual friendship soon grew stronger as trade, tolerance, and finally alliances between the two races developed. The friendship between the Dwarves and the moors only grew closer together, only to

- Gunpowder and early conquering of the channel
- Independence nationalism, brutal retaliation
- Industrialisation, invention of the steam engine and copper wires
- Reclamation of the straight, civil rights movements, institution of parliament
- Moor independence movement, colonization on the western isles
- Modern day shift towards trade monopolies
