I thought Ballistikov wanted all of its citizens to be fit and the epitome of health? You can't really accomplish that through malnutrition.

The Eglintonian Confederation, also known as Eglinton, is a centrist, capitalist, sovereign confederation located in North America, surrounding the Hudson Bay. The Eglintonian Confederation is often known for conscription and it’s colonial territories across the globe. The nation could be divided into 3 regions, Enfield, Ellestow, and The Northern Territories. The total land area of the Eglintonian Confederation is 5.542 million km2. It has multiple large cities, such as Hamilton, which is it’s capital city, and North Harvey.

Indigenous tribes, mostly the Eskimo, has occupied the nation’s territory for thousands of years, before the British Empire arrived to colonize the land. North Harvey, one of the main cities in the nation, was the first colony of the British Empire in Eglinton (Now Eglintonian Confederation). During that period, the British expanded the colony further around the Hudson Bay, attacking tribes that did not want to be colonized. After the expansion, the British secured North America by assaulting the French colonies. On June 22, 1956, the Eglintonian Confederation was peacefully released as a independent nation.

The Eglintonian Confederation is a parliamentary democracy. The nation’s head of government is the President (1970-2021), previously known as Governor-General (1956-1970). The nation could be governed by the parliament, which consists of the president, vice-president, prime minister, all ministers, and all local governors. The nation possesses some colonial territories, which are referred to as The Eglintonian Overseas Territories (EOT)

History

Early History

Multiple tribes, most notably the Eskimo has settled in the territory now known as the Eglintonian Confederation from 1000 BC until 500 BC. Most of these tribes kept to their own territory and they developed their own culture without any foreign influence. Some of the most known were the Eskimo, the Cree, and the Chipewyan, and they were considered the ’major tribes’. The smaller tribes were called the ’minor tribes’. In 1610, a British explorer called Henry Hudson made his way to the Hudson Bay, which he named after himself.

Colonialism Era

The next year, an expedition sent by the British Empire colonized parts of the Hudson Bay and Newfoundland. The colony was called the Dominion of Eglinton, and it’s largest city is North Harvey. On 1665, the French arrived and made multiple colonies along the eastern coast of the Hudson Bay. The native tribes disliked the French colonists because they were often found stealing their resources. On 1670, the French attacked multiple minor tribes, and they won in a few weeks. On the next few years, tensions between the French and British continued to rise, until war was declared by the British on 1685. The British won, but they lost many soldiers and equipment due to the war. During the peace conference, all French colonies was handed to the British securing British control in North America.

The Dominion of Eglinton provided the British Empire with fish, timber, and copper. The Dominion was exceptionally loyal to their colonists and was very obedient. In turn, the British colonists gave them more autonomy than most other colonies. On 1870, the Eglintonian Confederation experienced the industrial revolution, which caused a large growth in the economy. On November 10, 1956, the British gave the Eglintonian Confederation independence.

Modern History

In the first year of the nation’s independence, the former British governor was elected as the Governor-General of the nation. Major reforms were made and multiple political parties were formed in the process. On 1970, the liberal party won the 3rd general elections for the first time. During this period, the Administrative reform was passed which changed the government structure of the nation, changing it into the government structure now known today. On 2019, the 12th general elections, which is the latest election, the Peter Wilson from the centrist party won. On 2021, an oil spill was discovered in the Eglintonian European Colony, which sparked some debate between environmentalists. In the same year, radiation was found at the coasts of the same region, which are currently thought to be the result of United-Viking testing of nuclear weapons in the Baltic Sea.

Government


The Federal Council 2021, North Harvey.

The Government of the Eglintonian Confederation has varied throughout history. The Constitution, created with help by the British and adopted in 1848 is the foundation of the nation, which includes multiple core statements of how the government is structured and how it works. It was remade during the administrative reform of 1972, but the reform did not change it’s structure much. The Constitution is divided into three sectors, the Legislative Sector, the Executive Sector, and the Judicial Sector. The Legislative sector is further divided into the Federal Council and the State Council, while the Judicial Sector is divided into the Federal Court and the State Court.


Portrait of President Peter Wilson, 2019.

The Legislative Sector’s main purpose is to create and pass legislations and laws for the nation. Laws and legislations that affect the entire nation is passed in the State Council, while laws and legislations that affect one region is passed in the Federal Council. While only the local governor and local ministers are present in the State Council, the Federal Council includes all local governors and the national ministers of each ministry. Most laws are passed in the State Council of one region before it is passed on into the Federal Council.

The Executive Sector manages the nation on a daily basis. The head of the Executive Sector is also the president, although before the administrative reform, it would be the governor-general. The president also has full command of the military and it’s facilities, although he would need a popular vote to do certain tasks with it’s power. The head of the executive sector (president) is not the head of the state, the head of the state is the entire parliament and the citizen’s vote. The Prime Minister and the Vice President are also included in the Executive Sector.

The Judicial Sector is a system that applies the laws passed by the Legislative Sector. If the law only applies in one region, it would be applied by the State Court. If the law applies in the entire nation, it would be applied by the Federal Court. Like the Legislative Sector, the State Court uses only the local judges and supervised by the law and order local minister, while the Federal Court uses judges from all regions and supervised by the law and order minister.

    Political Parties

    Many government members from all sectors would be from a certain political party, such as the Centrist Party, or rarely, the Socialist Party. Each political party has their own goals for the nation. The political parties could be divided into two parts, major political parties, which includes more popular political parties and minor political parties, which includes less popular political parties. The major political parties are the Centrist and Liberal Party, while the minor political parties are the Green and Socialist Party.

Economy


The Eglintonian Confederation is based around a capitalist system, although there are some regulations, mostly regarding the environment. The Eglintonian economy, which is now one of the largest economy in the world, is able to self-sustain itself, although it lacks in many industries such as mining, book publishing, and automobile manufacturing. The economy is mostly made up of the large retail industry, information technology industry, and furniture restoration industry. Another large industry, the arms manufacturing industry, is the reason the Eglintonian Confederation is a major military weaponry exporter. Some smaller major industries are the trout-fishing industry and the timber woodchipping industry, which dates back to 1611. On 1870, the Eglintonian Confederation experienced an industrial revolution, now considered a major milestone in the nation’s history, which shaped the Eglintonian economy now known today. The Eglintonian economy today is now known to be efficient and eco-friendly.

Population and Ethnicity

The Eglintonian Confederation is home to 22 million inhabitants with different ethnicities and culture. The Eglintonian Confederation has two main ethnicities, which are British and French. Citizens of British ethnicity could be commonly found throughout the entire nation, although most reside in the region of Enfield, or more precisely British Enfield, named after the first British colonist, Noah Enfield. Citizens of French ethnicity are less common, but they are extremely common in the region of Ellestow, or more precisely French Cartiere, named after the famous French colonist, Jacques Cartier. The Inuit and Eskimo could be found mostly in the Northern Territories, especially in the Inuit Special Territories with minimal British and French presence. Other ethnicities, such as German, are very rarely seen in the nation and considered minorities. The life expectancy of Eglintonian citizens is moderately high, with around 83 years.

Note: All my factbooks look better in light mode. Anyways, is there a way to change the color of ’background-block' if using dark mode? Like an 'if using light mode: color A, if using dark mode: color B’. If not, is there a way to remove the shadow and curved edge of a box / sidebar?

Maybe if you befriended more nations, preferably nations geographically closer to Ballistikov, that would be less of an issue.

Or, you know, try growing your own food. There's a crop for every type of soil and weather, and your people already endure enough hard labour to be naturally good at tending the fields.

Alright. Despite literally sleeping at 3:30 am, and getting only about 4 hours of sleep, I'm happy to say, I did well on my math test. It was easier than expected. Sure, it was difficult, but I expected a nightmare, but this was more of a bad dream rather than a nightmare, ya know?

Cool! Hopefully you get good grades. I am having a worse day however, As I fell down yesterday and my hand did the ''palm behind your wrist'' maneuver, normally this is fine but then it slammed down on the tile floor. Needless to say, My wrist is beaten up. At least it isn't my dominant hand so I could do my exam.

Oof. Hope your wrist gets well soon

OOC: Seconded.
Rho Ophiuchi is ranked 13,696th in the world and 204th in the Pacific for Most Armed, with 5.27 Weapons Per Person.

At least its not a bone break (I hope).
Or it would've been more painful, and the more I tried to move it would be more pain. But its not like that so noice.
