Nauritia

Officially known as Federated States of Nauritia (Courieran: États fédérés de Nauritia) and popularly referred to as simply Nauritia, or the Republic of Nauritia (République de Nauritia), is a newly independent nation-state in the formerly Laurentian-owned region of Nauritia. As a result of the increasing unrest globally and the 2036 wave of revolutions, nationalism was further sparked in this region. The courier ethnic peoples of the region, disagreeing with the nationalist policies of president of Laurentia, Bob Rumper, and being denied greater autonomy, eventually became a separatist movement in 2034, and declared independence in the days of 2035, securing it in the battle for the local capital of Nauritia in early 2036. Eventually, the rebellion was engaged in battles similar to that of a war of independence throughout the revolution, but these died down after the rebels won numerous major battles, allowing Nauritia to get independence and make peace with Laurentia. Terrain includes all sorts of different varieties of biomes, from rainforests in the southwest, mountains in the north and rich tropical seas in the south. A large number of mineral deposits like oil, gold or natural gas also fuel more economic growth in the country, and the population enjoys relative personal freedom, liberty and representation in their government.

As their war for independence ended, the rebels formed a convention for the formation of a constitution on January 5th, 2036 and moved to ratify a democratic form of government similar to the real-life constitution of the United States. Aiming to prevent the form of authoritianism and tyranny of their predecessors, the Nauritian rebel groups moved to liberal democratic virtues, with conservative libertarian ideas in play. The constitution was ratified, and a interim government aiming to secure stability for the young country was formed after a vote by the legislature to elect the popular rebel leader Louise Peneire (1995-), as head of this new government. His reforms were more successful than expected, and helped the nation achieve relative stability and economic growth. Peneire's ideas of achieving ensured people's rights, a free market, a modernized democracy, a new currency and among other things such as the prevention of foreign influence on the country got mostly done under his term as president of Nauritia after the election of Jan 15th 2037, besides his tenure as interim government caretaker in 2036.

Superstates are a policy of the old. They create unstable countries and prevent a nation's government from effectively enforcing it's laws and keeping it's citizens safe. Nauritia will not turn part of the collection of superstates across the world and rid its cultures for more globalism. Denounce superstatism, and support the proper representation of liberty and effective government in proper sized political boundaries similar to the size of Nauritia.

- Louis Peneire, Superstatism Speech of July 5th, 2036. The stanch emphasis on preserving the region's Courierian culture and keeping liberty intact has lead the leadership of Nauritia to have a relatively anti-expansionist foreign policy, and has also lead to the population's opposition of the creation of massive, super-sized nation-states. Louis Peneire, referred to as the father of the nation, helped fuel more support for this anti-superstate idea, and only got more popular thanks to the economic growth in Nauritia due to his reforms.

History
The area of Nauritia was first inhabited since 15,000 BCE, when it was connected to the Plateau continent until 11,000 BCE. These people lived like the American natives we see in real life Mexico, building numerous settlements such as pyramids or pueblo quarters. In the year of November 1493, the Courerland explorer Joseph Nauritia saw the continent, after passing the islands of Isabadeneta a few months earlier in 1492, hence the name of the region. Courierland returned in spring of 1495, setting up the oldest settlement in Nauritia, Fort Couries

Eventually, the region became independent after the mainland Courierland government in 1805 fell to foreigners, allowing the creation of a independent state that existed as a empire until 1840, when it was couped by a pro-republican force of soldiers in a brutal civil war with the royalists between March 2nd, 1834 to January 22nd, 1839, causing the establishment of the First Nauritian Republic in January 1839. This republic lasted until 1846 when Laurentia won the Laurentian-Nauritian war of April 1st 1844- September 23th 1846 to take numerous land gains from them, causing the creation of the second Nauritian Republic. This republic saw the most prosperity out of all republics, taking place in the great war and lasting until April 10th, 1954 when a communist government took power in a brutal civil war (around 1949-1954) between democratic forces aided by Laurentia against communist factions led by the Naurit People's Government. However, this communist government, lasting from April 10th 1954 to July 15th 1972, dissolved due to increasing economic issues and the July revolution by a increasingly unhappy population. The third Nauritian Republic was formed and saw a economic boom take place until the recession of 1978, forcing it to join the global government of the United Nations. During this time, the United Nations had to constantly put down local revolts, with resistance being able to revolt in 2030. From 2011 to 2028, the more peaceful northern settlements of the Nauritia region saw a economic boom, boosting the GDP of Nauritia up to 1.0 trillion at some point.

After the UN collapsed in 2030, the Laurentians got given the country by the surrender of republican forces in the mostly-rural and northern-based war for conquest of the newly created Fourth Nauritian Republic, which lasted from September 2nd 2030 to October 2nd 2031, when it was annexed by Laurentia, and yet again saw a major economic boom in the northern regions, thanks to greater trade and protection. Nationalist and rebellious movements continued to be a threat to Laurentian annexation of the region, with their federation status only delaying the takeover of the region by the Fifth Nauritian Republic from 2035 to January 5th, 2036 when a global string of revolutions took place against the multicultural and globalist superstates of the modern post-UN world of Alt Dom. The president Louis Peneire took office on January 20th, 2036 and has sparked some hope for the country's future, considering his reforms have been mostly more successful than planned and is transforming the country into a stable democracy.

Geography
Geography of the republic of Nauritia is chacterized by the diverse biomes of the region, from deserts and plains in the north to rainforests in the south. The south-central regions of Nauritia, once desert, were greenified in the 2020s by the UN global government and most of it is now fertile farmland and plains thanks to extensive irrigation during the period and when Laurentia owned the country. Mountains, part of the chain of the Laurentian Alps, line the coastal northern regions of Nauritia, and forests remain a dominant biome along the other coasts and central regions outside of the agricultural farmland of the country. Deposits of minerals such as oil and natural gas can be found along the coast and near the gulf of Naurts, as the country's citizens calls it. The country's highest point is Mount Pieof at 19,781 ft.

Economy
The economy of Nauritia was mostly mining, refining, logging and fishing until 1972, where the third republic moved to diversify the economy and maintain a stable economic boom, which lasted until 1976 when it started to stagnate. However, the effects of these reforms can be seen across the republic as there are now a variety of industries operating across Nauritia, from banking, oil-drilling to fishing and energy sectors. The most profitable industry in the country is the mining and refinery industries, which provide 15% of the GDP growth as of 2036. Fishing accounts for 10%, while logging is 5%. Industrialization and further modernization of the country into a developed country by the 2030s government of the republic have resulted in more banking, industrial and other developed jobs that require complicated technology to operate or a educated workforce. In the 2046 census, over 96% of the population is educated, compared to 2036 when only 84% of people in the country were literate. This was thanks to the government's extensive reform programs in the 2030s, and the modelling of education on a Finnish-like model, inspired by Rarentian educational systems. Economic growth can be led by the more conservative states of Louise and Rouis in the southwest which maintain low tax rates and no income or residential property tax. This results in many corporations moving to the settlements of the states, and population growth to be the highest in these states. Due to its diversified economy and more small-business friendly regulations, Nauritia has suffered less than other countries in recessions and also has local, small to medium sized businesses making up for most of the GDP growth of most states in Nauritia. In January 30th, 2036, the Laurentian dollar was replaced by the Nauritian Dollar (ND). The Laurentian dollar was used as the main currency of the country from March 21th 1978 to January 30th, 2036. The country is currently in a economic boom, with one of the highest GDP rate growth seen in the country's history, only rivaled by that of the second Nauritian republic.
