Mina
Background: al-Mina, Majatran for "The Port" was originally colonized by Majatran merchants seeking exports for their goods. The intermingling of Majatrans and natives East Dovanians prompted the modern day ethnic group known as "Dovani Majatran" who are largely Ahmadi and share similar physical characteristics with fellow East Dovani peoples. al-Mina was eventually occupied by Greater Hulstria (later Hulstria and Gao-Soto) and the native Cifutingan people (Formosan people and languages) were used to rule the colony, following a series of conflicts the Dovani Majatran resumed control over the government and the slim minority of Cifutingan people remain in al-Mina but have largely fled to Gao-showan countries. Hulstrian (Austrian German) and Kunikata (Japanese) remain spoken throughout the nation but Dovani Majatran (African Arab) is the official language of the nation.

New Englia
Background: New Englia has been administered by Kirlawa, Hulstria, Kazulia, Seko and Yingdala at various times across its colonial history. The nation is divided between Kilani (Irish) and Inglian (British) people but the Yingdalan colonial legacy has meant that there is a degree of Yingdalan (Chinese) influence on certain aspects of the country's culture. Minority Inglian (British) rule has been the source of a great deal of controversy throughout the country's past and ethnic divisions persist to this day.

North Dovani
Background: North Dovani was formerly a colony of Kyoseon (Dankuk/Dranland) and was at one point home to a Draddwyr (Welsh) and Kyo (Korean) minority rule. However, the native Keobi (Igbo) and Huhoa (Hausa) population eventually took back control and a vast majority of the Draddwyr (Welsh) and Kyo (Korean) have returned to their home countries. North Dovani has a history of federal republicanism, it absorbed the former country of Degalogesa after its native Keobi (Igbo) and Huhoa (Hausa) populations voted in a referendum to join North Dovani.

Ostland
In-game account: http://classic.particracy.net/viewparty ... tyid=46059
Background: Formerly a Hulstrian "crownland", Ostland is roughly split between the Kunihito (Japanese) majority in the south and the significant Hulstrian (Austrian) minority in the central and northern regions. Both Kunikata (Japanese) and Dundorfian (German) are spoken primarily by their associated ethnic group. Ethnic tension between the two groups is not uncommon but has been cooled in recent decades by political reforms to grant semi-autonomous status to the Kunihito (Japanese).
