All Folk's People's Democracy (TCJ)

Overview:
A very ahead-of-it's time liberal democracy founded by a band of exiles with something to prove. They had once been adventurers, serving the highest lords of all lands, and exploring territory people of their races had never stepped foot, but when they wanted to settle down, they could find no nation that would not treat at least one member of their party unfairly, and decided to make their own, buying what was seen as worthless territory from the Healfminnen Autocracy and forming a nation over time. Now the nation is somewhat stable, and allows easy immigration from all nations and of all races, for better or for worse. Afraid of strong governments oppressing minority groups, the government is largely leaderless, extremely susceptible to corruption, and has somewhat backwards morals in comparison to other nations.

Geography:
Most of the land is rocky steppes with little space to grow food and poor soil, with the rocks themselves not worth much and difficult to build with due the weakness of stone and low iron/carbon levels in the soil. On the eastern coast the rocky beaches serve good defense, but choke all port access to the capital of Pechiwalden. The only farmable land is in the far West, and is heavily exploited for farming, even the weak government stepping in and designating the territory as farming only land, creating agencies and standing troops to protect the vital territory.

History:
Founded in the year 4867 by the original purchase of territory from the Healfminnen Autocracy by the adventurer band going under the name of "Ilupin zeau Forte", a play on the languages and diversity of the group - as the title is a mash of High Elvish, Human Balenois and Dwarvish, in that order. The title translates to "[The] Wolf [made] of Thorns" the words 'the' and 'made' are usually implied in their languages, and when translated into Human Common they are sometimes left out, with the word Ilupin in High Elvish also generally representing any man-size or smaller carnivorous predator. The High Elvish founder, Aelimir Ygenhit, was a female caster hailing from the Tinevilandrel Lordship, and the only surviving founder. She currently lives in a country estate in the Southeastern portion of the nation, and acts as an informal advisor for the government, with many government leaders writing to her with questions on how to act. The Human founder, Jean-Louis Patrémont, was a male man-at-arms hailing from the Balenois Barony, with his famous second first name coming from his mother, who hailed from the Neatrelouis Republic and wanted to keep some of her home in her bloodline. Jean-Louis was tragically killed in 4896 when he fell out of his office window in Pechiwald, examination exposed he was heavily inebriated, despite not known to be much of a drinker throughout life. The Dwarvish founder, Angihr Thunskeladd, was a male engineer from the Grikkesforte Council, who's contributions to infrastructure greatly grew the early nation. Angihr was also killed in a strange accident in 4901 when a new machine he was designing had a critical failure, launching a piece of metal into the back of his head and killing him instantly, the project was then lost in the distribution of his will with no traces left.

Culture:
With so many different races and nationalities over the nation, culture can barely even be accurately generalized across the provinces. Though, in general, there aren't many cultures that aren't mixed in with others, with ethnic, national, or cultural enclaves being small, few, and far in-between one another. Notable conglomerations of races and nationalities are: The Tinevilandrel High Elves of the East coast, The Northwestern men of the Western plains, and the Stockland Havlins of the Western Steppes. In general, the cultural opinions across the nation are very open, blending with those around them, loyal to the government, and focused on the greater good of the nation due to the gratitude and refugee status of many citizens.

Politics:
Internal: Inside of the nation, because if it's heavy emphasis on democracy, it is a bit of a cluster of officials coming in and going out and their decisions. There are four provinces with a capital of the same name: Pechiwald, Midsteppe, Janexmunt, and Tiyrsland. Pechiwald is currently the capital, and was a name proposed by the founder Angihr Thunskeladd in the original founding of the nation, and the name has remained as such despite the overwhelming population of High Elves. Pechiwald is currently lead by Provincial Representative Brailwyn Fenatin. Midsteppe is currently lead by Provincial Representative Alvie Hills. Janexmunt is currently lead by Provincial Representative William Orange IV. Tiyrsland is currently lead by Provincial Representative Thorfinn Gundir.

Provincial Democracy in practice - The government system is organized up from the localities (Towns, hamlets, etc). Any locality (city, town, village) can hold simple majority votes for any reform so long as it does not go against a provincial or national reform. When provincial reform is wanted, any locality with a population over 1,000 is designated as a voting locality, with any smaller localities needing to vote at their nearest voting locality. The proposing voting locality holds their vote and passes on the reform to the next voting locality and so on, until all voting localities have voted and the province does or does not make the reform. When national reform is wanted, either a provincial leader must propose a vote to their voting localities, or a voting locality will propose a vote. The only difference is that provinces count up their votes individually before pooling them to the capital to hold the national reform count.

External: The All-Folk's People's Democracy is seen as an extreme experiment or a spit in the face by most other nations, as well as that their 'diplomats' and other representatives are notoriously cocky and ride very high horses for their nation's apparent tolerance. The only nations the All-Folk's People's Democracy has positive relations with are the Stockland Federation (Specifically the Havlin Southern Zone), and the Tinevilandrel Lordship; this is due to many Havlins from the Federation living in the All-Folk's People's Democracy for the relative freedoms but still having family in the Stockland Federation, and for the founder Aelimir Ygenhit's nationality being a Tinevilandrel High Elf.

Resources & Economy:
The economy is fairly strong, despite being so small, due to the relatively low taxes and barely regulated economy. Many specialty goods are also produced by the people of the nations, preserving their cultures. The nation is mostly focused on exports of these special goods from around the world, though there is occasionally issues of currency conversions when in foreign nations. They also export a large amount of grain, overgrowing for their population.
