History of the Republic of Llithustania.
Over 8 centuries ago, people from France and England moved to colonize the western peninsula of Europe to claim for their kings.On the year of 1301, As they did, it seemed easier for the French to take over the new land, therefore became a part of France. The region then became Llithustania. Though after 50 years, the people of the region resulted to violence as they fought for the freedom and independence of there region, but unfortunately failed. The Litusians lost perilously, and the French were enabled to keep the sovereignty of Llithustania.

By the 1400's Portuguese and Spanish refugees, moved to the northern region, some really only trying to escape for a new life. These are the few reasons why the nation had such a rich architectural style, and why the population grew larger by the century. And after years of immigration and a new ethnic group developing in the country the region decided to develop there own language, to prevent language barriers between the several nationalities of immigrants. Amazingly, this nation was completely built up of immigrants from all over Europe. Immigrants continued to pour into the stable region, hoping to find better jobs, and live better lives.

Then In 1591, Llithustania once again declared war on France, trying to gain independence and the right to be a self-governing nation. Spain aided the Litusians (for the reason that they have connections with Spain) along the way, giving no mercy to the french. Fighting the war for 3 years, it ended in a blood bath, and with Llithustania's strong motive with the help of the Spanish, it left France with no option, but to grant Llithustania its freedom. AND Thus Llithustania was born. Government was set into the nation and used the system of Parliament. With this historic milestone unfolding, they had also decided to be a country of freedom and became a Democratic Republic. The first Prime-minster elected into office was Rowaen Villietvoke. He leaded the nation well and served the nation for 12 years until a new president was elected in 1603. Politics flourished, but then as some thought, the nation was too large to control by one government, and decided to separate the nation in to 12 states, all divided by rivers and mountain ranges which became state borders. Governors were elected to each state, and smaller local state governments were set, becoming similar to the United States. Though governors had power of the states, the President did not lose power and was still Head of the Nation. In 1776+, when the United States gained independence from Britain and set the system of Congress, the national government began to discuss the possibility of shifting the nation to a Congress. Some people in the nation welcomed the idea, and trialed the system. In the end the government was satisfied and decided to switch.

Over 3 centuries later, The fear of Dictatorship spread as World War II arrived. It became a reality as the nation failed to sustain, and resist the power of the German forces and lost power in 1941. This left millions confused, and helpless. With Government overthrown, problems set as the national military was harder to control, with only little communication, no president, and a failing resistance, the nation gradually fell, and came to a halt. Llithustania suffered severe casualties, both in the military side and the economic and political side. Unemployment during WWII peaked as millions lost jobs and commerce fell with the closing of hundreds of stores, big and small. The nation fell into an Economic meltdown, and needed assistance from Britain and America which they could not receive. Several years after the nations devastating loss and Economic down turn, and fighting battle after battle, the Americans came through from France, liberating the French and Litusians, and restoring order to the nation.

8 centuries, 4 capitals, 43 million people, 3 failed trials of parliamentary government, 7 civil wars and 2 World Wars later, the nation had reached it's peak point and it's history rich and full, civil wars that were unnoticed like the Western Independence War, North and South Toltarian War and the Second Western War shaped the nations view and history. Parliament failed in the nation and reverted back to Congress and the first capital, Europolis, was not the last. The most recent war, the Third Western Civil war found the Crovakia [Western Union] losing to the Litusians as they have little power of there government. After over 50 presidents, the current president now is Theadore Oletviesz.

The Current, modern Llithustania is a bustling society with over 45 million people living in the nation alone. Government remains stable, but with Economic Recession, leaders try to assure the nation a stable future, and distribute jobs and lower unemployment. But with a rocky history, what will the future paint for the nations upcoming events, and with Communism uprising in the South Toltarian Kingdom's State and the nation preventing the political phenomenon, no one can be sure.

National Map of the Republic of Llithustania


The nation contains 12 states, 3 inland colonies, 2 of which are operating as Dominions and several other colonies/territories which are listed on the map above the location of Llithustania.

It would be very much an Honour to be a part of the AIN

(If possible, can someone help me with an in game flag? I really do not have the skills, nor can my laptop seem to cope with the SC4 BAT as it is packed with so many files! It would be great if anyone could provide me with a in game flag, the flag is on the application.)

Quite a varied country you got there. I would personally prefer that you take a chunk out of the French countryside instead of making a huge new landform. I can help you with making a new border.

Firstly, welcome to the union and thank you for accepting the offer Spy9600 made to you.
The images are fantastic, and you have a gorgeous CJ. The only thing I have an issue with is the map, and I know you've been working on it recently. I would suggest cutting off the land past Portugal, to keep as much of the Bay of Biscay as possible. If you did that, I would say yes.

Beautiful stuff there. I like it! Just that I think that territories everywhere doesn't seem too realistic

It maybe a bit difficult to move it as the state above Portugal is vital to my country. In this case, I;m going to have to reduce the states size and move the capital away from the area. And since my C.j. has focused on the capital, if I move it, there will be huge changes as to the storyline I had currently. Also I really do not want to remove the state, as it was originally, and hoping to always be 12 states, in that arrangement and I would have to change my flag with it.

If we can negotiate somehow about the area, because I would be glad to take some things into consideration, but if I move to many areas, My whole country will be crucially out of place. I may need to discuss this a bit further more.

Summary

I think a compromise on the map can be reached - if you come up with a detailed history, then I will let it go onto voting.

UPDATE: Voting is open.

First, welcome to AIN forums! Next, Why don't you keep with the territories of Spain and French around the golf of biscay, I think it would be better, more realistic.

Well, I suggested that map myself, I think he has the CC and the Ideas for keeping that area...maybe it is a bit too big, but still, the only parts I would cut would be on the very western coast...It has to be that size...I think....
With a good history, any further changes won't be necessary... IMO... as long as he includes France, Spain, England and Portugal on the contex, which he already doing...

Yep, I agree with Spy. It'll go to voting once the history is completed.

awesome application, man...! i thinki can vote, YES YES YES..... by the way.. it'd be lovely if you put a delegate in the Miss SimUniverse pageant... what better way to introduce your country to the union and to the SimWorld, than sending a pretty (hot) delegate!

I really love your nation! Fantastic rural transport scenes and great beaches for Killorglinian tourists I especially like the varied styles of buildings in what i presume are different regions.

Though I really would appreciate you moving your nation to an existing land mass as your location would influence my oceanic climate (im a small island off the west of Ireland)

Otherwise it will be a yes all the way

It doesn't influence your climate the way it is...

Would it not affect the North Atlantic Drift deflecting it further off the irish coast?

It shouldn't affect the Gulf Stream, which would be more central to your maritime climate.

I Think he just updated his history

Did a bit of research on the North Atlantic Drift/Gulf Stream, on a closer look it wouldnt affect my climate drastically so im all good with it.

Welcome! You have talent, that's sure. I say that your nation shouldn't be in Europe, but in South America, like near where Galbadia was (south of Rio). My opinion, since you're CJ style looks like South Am in my eyes.

Like this:

Well you can also stay in the Bay of Biscay, but I'd say do your nation as an island a bit off the coast and it'll be more realistic imo.

Does my nation qualify and reach the standards, or is there still something I should work on?

Yes, just a thing, I don't like your map, I think it is very unrealistic for your CJ. Like Julien said, why don't you move your CJ to South America, we all will aprove that and your applicattion will pass.

VOTING OPEN.

Llithustania will remain in the Bay of Biscay, as long as Huston wants it there. Vote on the quality of the history, the images - not on where you think it should be located. I think it's perfect for its location now.

Voted YES, but you'll need improvement for your location.

YES - the location is grand!

voted

Voted. YES
I agree with what julien said i live in Brazil and our beaches look like their
But I think the map needs be reformulated.

YES, but I agree on the location thing. South America would suit your style very well, and on top of that, we seem to have like fifty nations in that european area. (exaggeration )
