In just the last year, the final resettlement efforts by both Trekylon and Inuyashia culminated in the establishment of independent nation-states. This was done because neither had the wish to pursue expansion across the planet. Heran and Vulcan settlers were also encouraged to establish nation-states on Gaia to balance those of the empires. The new states developed economies which were independent of the larger empires and in a short period of time even began to evolve a form of Customs and Free Trade area, which did not include the empires. Four months later. after the successful conclusion of the Trekylon Civil War, the nation-states forged a collective defense treaty known as the United Gaian Nations. Trekylon and Inuyashia are members only so far as their roles are advisory, while the Federate Cherokee State is not yet a member.
[NOTE: While the nation-states share the same technological advances as the larger empires due to the fact that they're original refugees from when the empires were located in the Milky Way galaxy, the nation-states have agreed that Inuyashia and Trekylon would remain the preeminent interstellar and intergalactic powers] The United Gaian Nations is a defensive-oriented collective security and mutual assistance organization which came into being through the Convention of Imperiopolis. Its initial creation was the byproduct of the recent Trekylon Civil War and rising tensions with the Barlat Concordiat. As the threat to Gaia lessened, the organization began to branch into humanitarian and disaster relief, scientific research, and cultural exchange. The headquarters for the UGN is located in Vindobona, in the Vicariate of Hapsburgia, chosen over Imperiopolis to both prevent Trekylonian domination of the organization, and to reiterate Trekylon's impartiality among the nation-states. The first Chairman of the UGN is Prince-Vicar Anakin Torrenos Harvey. |
The Gaian Nation-States*

The Dual Crowns of Lutetia
-Capital: New Andorra
-Population: 3.3 million
-Head-of-State: Valois Braganza (Royal Name: Louis IXX)
-Military: 125,000 active 5,000 reserve
-Official Religion: Roman Christianity Others: Trekism
-Official Languages: Standard, NeuFrench, NeuSpanic, NeuDutsch
-Gaian Continent Location: Europa
Bordered by the Terran Ocean to the west, Trekylon's New Britannian Islands territory to the northwest, the Federal Republic of Preusen to the east, and the Commonwealth of Mare Romanum to the southeast, The Dual Crowns of Lutetia (sometimes called the United Crowns) was founded on May 29th 2315 by the Proclamation of Gaia. Utilizing the concept of linking the new nation-state with the ancient kingdoms and empires of Earth-reinforcing the Terran heritage, Lutetia was named after the ancient Roman city which evolved into Paris, France. The link is so strong that a replica Eiffel Tower was even erected in the heart of the city, nicknamed Eiffel V.2 or the Lutetian Tower. Most of the nation is agricultural land, but industry also plays a major role in the economy of the new nation-state, with Gaia's fourth largest GDP behind the Federate Cherokee State, Inuyashia, and Trekylon. Lutetia was the first nation-state established to resettle the refugees from the Great Exodus and the Trekylon Civil War. Lutetia is a parliamentary monarchy, with a National Assembly and a Senate, ruled by Valois Braganza (who proclaimed himself Louis IXX and is sometimes called Louis-Valois). An army of 125,000 troops-mainly Trekylonian Redtroopers, but with a reserve of 5,000 native auxiliaries-maintain security in the nation-state, though as a founding member of the United Gaian Nations, Lutetia has no real cause to worry about its security.

Commonwealth of Mare Romanum
-Capital: Parthenopolis
-Population: 4.3 million
-Head-of-State: Premier Vitore Amadeo
-Language: Standard, Italo-Romagno
-Military: 450,000 active 50,000 reserves
-Religion: Roman Christianity, Trekism, Islam
-Gaian Continent: Europa
The Commonwealth of Mare Romanum is a collection of islands, Europan mainland territories, and coastal Sahelia bound by common law, common military force, and common head-of-state. Founded by the Proclamation of Gaia, Mare Romanum is based on the heritage of ancient Rome, echoing Roman architecture, law, and even the dress-code. Italo-Romagno is the second official language of the nation-state, though NeuItalian, Italian, and Sahelic Arabian are also spoken. Primier Vitore Amadeo is believed to be a descendant of the old ruling dynasty of Italy, the House of Savoy, though his upbringing was far from royal. He was formerly a member of the Merchants' Guild, making him the second most well-known ex-Guilder to assume a position of power after Trekylon Emperor Drake I. Like the other Gaian nation-states, the military of Mare Romanum is a mix of Trekylonian forces (per the terms of the Proclamation of Gaia) and a reserve of native militia. Mare Romanum is the first and only nation-state with mining rights on the Gaian moon of Ielia.

Vicariate of Hapsburgia
-Capital: Vindobona
-Head-of-State: Prince-Vicar Anakin Torrenos Harvey
-Population: 3 million
-Military: 375,000 active 25,000 reserve
-Religions: Trekism, Roman Christianity, Islam, Valenism
- Gaian Continent: Europa
The Vicariate of Hapsburgia is the most central of the Europani nation-states. Founded by proclamation by a descendant of the former ruling dynasty of Austria, Hapsburgia was made the capital of Roman Christianity as transplanted on Gaia following the Exodus. Vindobona was built to echo the importance of religion to the Vicariate, with slightly altered replicas of St Peter's Basilica, the Temple of the Word, and the Iskender Mosque. A new addition to the religious panoply rose with the building of the Valenite Crystal Temple. The choice of head-of-state was the most controversial, as the Hapsburg descendant had no desire to assume power. When no other candidates presented themselves, Drake I-acting with the encouragement of former emperor Michael I-nominated Prince Anakin, who had ruled briefly under the name Michael II. The decision met with strong opposition both from the many Harvey loyalists who wanted to reinstall the dynasty in some way upon the death of Drake I, and from Barlat nations that made the accusation that such an appointment, while not forbidden by the Atlantis Treaty, would be a prelude to such an attempt as the Loyalists were calling for. In taking on the new role, Anakin simply added vicar to his existing title of prince, though he did renounce the royal title he briefly held.

-Population: 5.5 million
-Military: 225,000 active 25,000 reserve
-Religions: Lutheran Christianity, Roman Christianity, Trekism, Valenism
-Gaian Continent: Europa
The Federal Republic of Nova Preusen is an industrial nation-state which, like Hapsburgia, forms the center of the Europani nation-state system. Founded by proclamation, Nova Preusen is the fourth most militaristic nation on Gaia, after the Cherokee, Inuyashia and Trekylon. Like the other Gaian nation-states, Nova Preusen's architecture, laws, dress, and military parades are evocative of the old Germanic heritage of the Hohenzollerns, who ruled both Prussia and the German Empire in ancient times. Nova Preusen is a founding member of the United Gaian Nations.

The Constitutional Democracy of Novaya Rossiya
-Capital: Novaya Sibir
-Population: 8 million
-Languages: Cyrillic, Standard, Otaku, Mongol
-Religion: Eastern Christianity, Trekism, Mangaism
-Total Military: 220,000 (mostly Trekylonian)
-Gaian Continent: Orientalia
-Head of State: Stephan Petrov
The very first nation-state established on Gaia-well before the Convention of Imperiopolis brought the others into being, Novaya Rossiya was inaugurated after settlements were established in the northeast of the continent of Orientalia. Using the Grand Khanate of Timuria (Imperial territory) as a temporary homeland, these refugee-settlers spread out across the designated lands in a short period of time. After their constitution was drafted (by themselves) and endorsed by both Trekylon and Inuyashia, they elected Stephan Petrov as their president.
