   Keys: blue-belly, yellowskin, yellowskins, Nusia, Republic of Nusia, Nusian, yellow-skins, Noobs, yellow-skin, blue-bellies

   REPUBLIC OF NUSIA Description The noobs are the people currently inhabiting the mid-southern parts of Erikase. Originally brought to the continent by accident, the first settlers fought unimaginable hardships to establish a nation, far away from home. Protected by a massive rainforest in the north and the frigid mountains in the south, the Noobs are well suited in their habitat. The noobs are slightly taller than the Dummies, roughly ~6cms (2 inches) taller on average. Unlike the Dummies, their societies are very multicultural and interracial, however there is widespread segregation and prejudice, especially against those of Guesan descent. The noobs appear as a mix of colours (due to their history of being interracially mixed, although where this gene mixing came from is unknown due to the lack of any blue, yellow or green coloured peoples in the known subspecies of Robloxians), most commonly yellow for the head/arms, blue for the chest/abdomen, and green for the legs. Despite many extremist groups within the Nusian congress holding traditionalistic views against mixing, it’s not uncommon to see their opinions being disregarded as irrelevant and outdated.

   Military Nusian society (at least pre-war) was mainly focused on self-defence, despite the absolute massive size of their country. Their militaristic numbers hovered around 20,000 active personnel, a couple dozen vehicles and a few warships. With the start of the war in the late 2030’s, Nusian congressmen began funnelling more funds into expanding the military and enacting harsher conscription laws. Now, their numbers hover in the millions of infantry and tens of thousands of vehicles. Their navy was still quite powerful, even before the advent of war. Their navy is quite possibly the strongest in the entire baseplate, possessing cutting-edge warships and unfathomable numbers. During the industrial revolution, and additionally the sophistication of AI, many of the Nusian fleets were modernised and fully automated, as per most of the world’s militaries.

   Politics The Noobs follow a cutthroat political structure, with a fiercely contested congress controlled by two mainstream parties, the Modernists and the Traditionalists. Despite their differences vanity-wise, both parties are quietly funded by various powerful corporations within the Nusian sphere of culture. Most who criticise this political structure are promptly fired out of their jobs, cast out as crazed people, and practically exiled from social structures. Presidents are usually elected by the people through nation-wide votes, but each province is not required to count these votes appropriately, by law. Hence, in most elections, big corporations end up significantly influencing the vote in certain high-density provinces in order to win a favourable head-of-state. If a president is assassinated, killed, or dies in office, it is usually the Nusian Security Council’s decision to elect an emergency president.

   Society Nusian society follows a hierarchical societal structure, with those descending from people with certain wealth and class being granted extreme privilege and influence, while those aren’t… well… aren’t. Thankfully, the societal structures aren’t as ladder-locked as other societies. As a Noob, you can expect to see yourself climb the ranks of society if you are to work hard enough (usually pulling off 12 hour shifts 7 days a week, for ~20 years), have good enough appearance, or have some technical skill that the government / military / powerful corporations would notice. However, for most in Nusian society, there is a sentiment of “Minimum wage, minimum expectations” where you are expected by society to be diligent and happy with what you have, as those who risk climbing the ladder can end up dying overwork, committing suicide, or whatnots. The average Nusian has a decent salary, at roughly 200,000 Nolic / year (roughly equivalent to $40,000 USD in our world’s currency).

   Segregation is very much varied in Nusian society. In the capital city, you can expect yourself to be welcomed as an addition to the pot of multiculturalism, while the coastal cities and highlands will hold extreme prejudice and hate towards newcomers. In certain cities, you can often find yourself (if you’re of the wrong cultural/class background) to be completely excluded from job applications, get ignored by professors in university, and chosen for menial jobs. Segregation in the army still exists to this day, where people of partial or full Nusian background are eligible for military service.

   Fashion and clothing in the Nusian societies have extremely high expectations of beauty. For men, you are expected to have a chiselled jawline, deep and cutting eyes, and have a slim nose, as well as various fashion trends such as uncomfortable trench coats and hairbands. For women, your society-accepted clothing choices are quite limited, and that choice range typically includes one-size-too-small dresses, fever-inducing skincare and stinging makeup. However, for most people living within Nusian society, they believe that these standards are the most civilised and modern things to have ever come out of Robloxians.

   Population: 260 million (pre-war) Head-of-state: President Siroe Latem (currently aligned with the Traditionalist party) Capital: Dracstor Ideology: Now-militaristic technocratic pseudo-democracy Language: Nusian, and sometimes a sizable portion of Guesan (Guesan is like the Spanish speakers in our world’s U.S) Currency: Nusian Nolic National colours: Yellow, Green, Blue

2. #2Dominion of Pinzhao

   Keys: greyskins, The Dominion, Dominia, Dominion, Dominion of Pinzhao, greyskin, grey-skins, Dummies, grey-skin

   DOMINION OF PINZHAO Description Dominia, or commonly referred to as Dummies, are native in southeastern Erikase, mainly inhabiting the frigid mountains and humid lowlands of their southern home. Due to the harsh terrain separation with the rest of the larger continent, the Dominian language is one of the branched off languages from an ancient Erikase, sharing similar words and sentence structures with pre-nusian Guesan. Their society is mainly militaristic, as one’s proof of glory can be found in a career at the military. Their racial appearances are mainly homogenous, meaning that you’ll only find dummies on said continent. Appearance-wise, the dummies appear to have pale grey skin with dark facial features.

   Military The Dominians, despite having access to the large vast southern seas, do not have a significant naval force. This is because the southern seas are frozen for the majority of the year and are only available during the warm summer months. The dummies possess various technologies that are uniquely dominian, such as the ammo fabricators, the weapon printers and the automated PDC turrets. Despite their technological edge, they still fall relatively behind the Noobs when it comes to things such as artificial intelligence, tactics, space infrastructure and general military-ready population. Their population is quite lacklustre and small as compared to the Noobs, who possess several magnitudes more people at their disposal.

   Politics The political system follows the emperor and their prime minister. Despite being a monarchy and family-politics driven, the emperor (and his/her advisors) select competent members into various branches of government, often by hand. The emperor is kept in check by the High Council, of which members of the council are elected by the population. If an emperor is to abuse his/her power, and is deemed so by the High Council, they are disposed of and ‘mysteriously vanish’.

   The High Council elects a prime minister to run the civil duties of the country, and are furthermore responsible for duties such as infrastructure, education, healthcare, and trade. The emperor on the other hand (and his/her advisors), are responsible for defence and foreign policy.

   The royal family has traditionally maintained its status and members as an absolute secret, no one knows who the emperor is, let alone if it’s a man or a woman. As a result, it is the duty of the prime minister to uphold the nation and act as the head-of-state, while the royal family maintains some power. Generally, the royal family acts as a figurehead post-reform.
   

   Society In Dominian society, familial cohesion and anti-individualism have been prevalent since the start of the industrial revolution. In their societies, if you are to divorce your spouse or abandon your child, you are considered on par with traffickers and thieves (not literally, just on the same level as them), unless in special cases such as crime or adultery. Despite anti-familial cohesion laws being repealed in the reforms of Duodo Pin Zhao, the effects are still there. If one is to believe in one’s individualistic freedoms and non-reliance on society, they are most likely to be outcast by their friends and family.

   Gender roles are practically non-existent on Dominian society, as both females and males had to work together in the paddy farms of the lowlands during the feudal era. This sense of shared brotherhood/sisterhood would then spill over into the post-industrial society of the Dummies. In the average household, you can expect to see housewives as common as househusbands.

   Population: 45 million (pre-war) Head-of-state: (de-facto) Prime Minister Lu Xiaoba Capital: Piqiang Ideology: Nationalistic semi-constitutional monarchy, expansionist imperialist empire, militaristic Language: Dominian (as well as other regional dialects) Currency: Dominion Zhao, Reserves (War-time currency).

3. #3Autonomous Administrative Republic of Guesa (formerly Imperial Guesa)

   Keys: Autonomous Administrative Republic of Guesa, money-kissers, guest, Guesia, guesans, guests, guesan, money-kisser

   AUTONOMOUS ADMINISTRATIVE REPUBLIC OF GUESA (formerly Imperial Guesa) Description The Guesans (or guests) are a group of robloxian subspecies that are native to the dry and arid dunes of southwestern Erikase. They are an isolated group of people, not known for communicating much to the outside world, often protected by a large rainforest. The rainforest can oftentimes cool down during the winter months and allow for brief crossability, and is generally considered a lot easier to pass than the Dominian mountains, to which Guesan merchants and civilian logistics are frequently seen. Appearance-wise, their looks appear to be similar to that of a dummy, with pale gray skin and dark facial features. They are slightly shorter than the typical robloxian, roughly around 3 cm shorter. The land they inhabit is rich in natural resources, and is considered one of the crown jewels of the baseplate. During the industrialisation era, Nusian prospectors discovered a vast deposit of a very fine material known none other than Guesan. This material had super strength properties, able to deflect even the highest of calibers and leave little to no dents within its structure. As a result, Guesan steel and refineries are greatly sought after.

   Military Despite their massive resources and trade potential, the Guesans choose to isolate themselves from the rest of the world, mainly focusing on improving their own societies and technologies. Due to the neutrality stance many figures in the Guesan government hold, the Guesan military is tiny compared to its northern neighbors. Having a fleet of a few convoy escorts, corvettes and warships with a standing army of roughly 5,000 active personnel, it’s extremely rare to see any of these military personnel in action, and they are mostly seen protecting merchant vessels and refineries. Occasionally, Guesan mercenaries can be seen taking part in foreign campaigns of military expansion, but in most cases government forces cannot be seen anywhere else. Despite their total lack of military experience, most Guesans are natural engineers and are quick problem-solvers, and are actually credited to being the first people on the baseplate to realize the theory of evolution and various medical advances.

   Politics The political structure of the Guesan government is built around the idea that one should never have to rely on others to do anything. Hence, political parties practically never exist, nor any niche cliques. Usually, the emperor manages and runs everything (despite how time-consuming that is), and the emperor’s governors usually assist with running the country. An emperor is crowned into power every 60 years, and not when the current emperor dies. The soon-to-be emperor must be at least above 24 years old and have studied in government-designated law/political schools before entering into office.

   However, some time ago as of writing this, the then-emperor of the Guesans had a secret affair with an ethnically Nusian woman, resulting in a child. The Guesan population shortly thereafter discovered the scandal, causing widespread riots in the country. For the Guesans, they had enough about Nusian interference in their country, and they could not tolerate one more incident of ‘Nusian boot-licking’.
   
   Nusia on the other hand, saw this as an opportunity. Men in yellow and beige unmarked uniforms began appearing in the streets of Guesa, sometimes in the middle of violent protests, with armoured vehicles and tanks. The Nusian government denied any responsibility, claiming they were “Ethnic Nusians who took up arms to defend their ethnicity and language”.
   

   It was later discovered that these men in unmarked uniforms were in fact the regular Nusian army, and they had just taken control of the parliament building. Shortly after, the country was formally annexed after the current government was toppled. An independence insurgency immediately sprung up, separating into their own state from annexed Guesa calling themselves “The Independent Imperium of Guesa”. Throughout 2029 and 2038, the Nusian army and Guesan independence movement fought a frozen conflict for nearly 9 years, with the Nusians even resorting to mass conscription to make up for numbers.

   Society Guesan society revolves around self-reliance and individualism, as well as respect towards others. Their society forms around special crop fields (which they used for sustenance and agriculture) called “sporecrops”, where they could be nurtured by only one individual, only needing careful care every year to be protected from the overly humid and wet jungle environment. Before Nusian annexation, a Guesan 6-year-old would be expected to know how to care for a sporecrop field, and by age 11 they should know the most optimal planting / soil techniques.

   As a result, Guesan culture heavily emphasizes individualism and respect towards others. Insulting another Guesan is on par with thievery, as you will be greatly shamed by everyone around you for ‘disrespecting’ another Guesan. Additionally, table manners and general greetings follow the same principle of heavy respect. Guesan elders are expected to be seated first, be given the finest cutlery and served the best and warmest meals, while the children are to be seated last. Children and anyone younger than the elders must wait at least 5 or so minutes for the food to cool to appropriate levels, and must be given the order to eat by their elders. Due to this, it’s not uncommon to see disowned children never being given the command to eat by their parents.
   
   The Guesans industrialized quite late during the industrialisation period, only industrializing around 50 years after everyone had already. The Guesans, despite being offered military alliances with powerful countries and being threatened by military force for their valuable steel refineries, have historically declined any offer related to war. The geography of their nation prevents any invader from intruding no closer than a dozen kilometres from the coast, as the fine sand dusts of the surrounding dunes tends to get into bloodstreams and vehicle engines very quickly (the Guests have evolved a natural immunity to fine dust particles over the aeons)
   

   Some quick facts are; The Guesans are stereotyped as ‘money-kissers’, and thought of being very ecstatic about going the extra mile to get an extra Mono. Guesans are commonly mistaken for dummies, and as a result face serious discrimination within the Nusian Republic.

4. #4Duchy of Cascada

   Keys: Duchy of Cascada, Cascada, Cascadian, Cascadians

   DUCHY OF CASCADA Description The duchy of Cascada are the nusian-speaking people native to an island off the coast of Erikase, known for their favourites of aircraft and maritime activities. Despite long past its industrialization period, the Cascadians are known for their fish and seafood exports, as well as constructing magnificent docks that are still standing to this day. Long ago, the first Cascadians arrived on the island through ancient colonisation from a long-dead species of Robloxians originating across the ocean, to a land they called Elison. Although the colony quickly lost contact with its parent nation, the fledgling island nation thrived under its near perpetual summer and its geographic location.

   In the year 1655, re-contact was attempted by the first expedition groups. They sailed across the treacherous waters to finally reach the shores of Elison. Upon arrival, they found nothing but desolation and unknown peoples. Despite their best efforts at communication, translation could not be established and the re-contactors had to leave empty-handed.
   
   Due to the strikingly close linguistic/cultural similarities between Nusia and Cascada, it’s a commonly accepted fact that both nations originated from the same colonising empire long ago.
   

   Military The duchy of Cascada mostly serves as a client state to the republic of Nusia, providing much-needed valuables like Cascadian steel (a replica of Guesan metal), mawfish, and weaponry. Much of the Cascadian military uses equipment directly imported or purchased from the republic off the coast.

   However, despite the apparent Cascadian dependence on Nusia, the Cascadians are still valued in the Nusian military apparatus for their affordable and reliable military hardware.
   

   Population: 3.5 million Head-of-state: His Royalty Arenet Parle Capital: Cascadia Ideology: Militaristic isolationist client state Language: Nusian (albeit a heavily deviated version, akin to the British/US language differences) Currency: Cascadian Lutels National colours: Green, blue and white
