The Harmonious Republic of Nainan (Nainese: 共和諧和奈人; Cộng Hòa Hài Hòa Nài Nhân), commonly referred to as Nainan (Nainese: 奈人; Nài Nhân), is a unitary authoritarian one-party republic located in Southeast Coius. Sharing borders to the west by Kuthina and to the north by Zomia, and has a coastline to the southeast on the Coral Sea. It's capitol is the city of Trinhieu, which is a historic capitol and the political center of Nainan. It's largest city is Setrong, which is the financial center of Nainan. With a population of 83.8 million people it is one of the most populated nations in the world. There are many different ethnic groups alongside the Nainese that mostly live in the western half of the country.
The land had been inhabited since ancient times but the first notable cultures were the Nài Hóa peoples, an !austroasiatic who likely originated from the eastern border of Shangea and settled along the Serpent and Black Rivers in eastern Nainan. The !austronesian Proto-Danok people arrived from Kabu and !big island around the same time and settled on the Black River. The first Nainese kingdom was the Giang dynasty around 200 BC founded in Tài Lẽ. The Giang dynasty was greatly influenced by the Xiang dynasty in Shangea and adopted their script. By 590 the Giang dynasty fell and the kingdom was split between the Trinhieu influenced Ban dynasty in the north and the Setrong influenced Yên dynasty in the south, this became known as the Two Kingdoms Period. Around 520 Nainan would be conquered by the Svai Empire.
The Svai empire conquered the Yên and turned Ban into a tributary state, Svai rule continued until 1066 when Nainan lead by folk hero Lady Lương and General Sang Quang Huy pushed out the Svai empire and created the Great Lương dynasty which united all of Nainan and conquered neighboring states like the Danok and Makhao kingdoms. During this time half of Nainan converted to Badi. The Lương dynasty continued until 1456. The Thân dynasty would take over until the rise of the Khiêm dynasty.
The Khiêm would rule Nainan from 1480 until they were conquered by Intharatcha and the Khaunban Empire in 1658 until the rebellion of general Vĩnh Nhật Tấn and the creation if the Vĩnh dynasty, which would rule Nainan as the rise of Euclean influence grew in Southeast Coius. Werania would eventually turn the kingdom into a colony called the Naikolonie, the Vĩnh would be replaced by the Nhâm dynasty in 1890. A period of industrial growth would occur in Nainan in the times leading up to the Great War. The Entente would occupy Weranian Nainan until their defeat.
After the war the Naikolonie became very disconnected from Werania, and in 1953 King Vinh Áo would declare independence as the Kingdom of Nainan. The Kingdom was very unstable and would collapse in 1956 at the beginning of the Nainese Civil War, which saw the rise of the nationalifst faction of Hoàng Viện Trai and the Nainan People's Republic, the Kingdom fell shortly after the civil began, and continued until 1964 the nationalists would eventually be victorious in the war. The Harmonious Republic would take over and became a one-party state, lead by the Nainan People's Solidarity and Longevity, following the ideology of Tự Ý Chí.
The country would subsequently modernize it's cities and ban all opposition, using it's secret police force, the Van Dieu, and military power to do so. In 1972 Trai was assassinated and the authoritarian levels deepened. Only until the 21st century were state powers and restrictions rolled back somewhat. In the early 21st century the county underwent an era political infighting between factions of the party. Today Nainan is lead by Lê Tranh Lộc and the Patriotic Faction of the party. Nainan today is considered one of the most authoritarian states in the world, today it is part of the BUD, IFDS, and the CN.
Etymology
The word "Nainan" is an exonym based on the pronounciation of the native name of the nation, written in Chữ Mới as Nài Nhân (Chữ Đông: 奈人). The words come from Shangean characters Nài(奈) and Rén(人) meaning "enduring people", which translate into Chữ Đông as Nài Nhân.

Two kingdoms period
Svai rule
The Svai Empire conquered the Yên dynasty in 520 under the rule of Preahrith I, their Ban dynasty rivals had been forced to make a deal with the Svai to become a tributary state of their Empire in exchange for autonomy without direct rule. However despite their independence from the Svai, the Ban's politics was greatly influenced by the empire, and their trade and taxes were practically controlled by the Svai. Svai rule would continue for nearly 6 centuries.
There were multiple revolts during Svai rule, the largest was the Tết Sisters Rebellion in 604, lead by the Sisters Tết, it saw short-lived independence of the Tết dynasty in southern Nainan, it was eventually put down by both the Svai and Ban dynasty. Numerous smaller rebellions occurred and the Svai Empire would attempt to strengthen their hold in the region. The Ban dynasty was seen as traitors by the people of Nainan and by the 9th century their rule was greatly being weakened and unpopular.
In 1066 a large rebellion against the Ban dynasty began in Tài Lẽ, lead by Lady Lương and former Ban general Sang Quang Huy overthrew the Ban dynasty and invaded the Svai-ruled territories of Nainan. Svai forces were defeated by the Nainese at the Battle of Sái Trụ Bay. By 1067 Lương and Sang had conquered Setrong and reunified Nainan, and founded the Great Lương dynasty.
Great Lương dynasty
The Great Lương dynasty reunited and invigorated the Nainese peoples together, they pushed out the Svai and formed a large army. They would conquer dozens of neighboring states. Lady Lương became the first Empress of Nainan, and gave herself the title "Azure Dragon of the East" (𧏵撑𡗶𧵑方東; Rồng xanh trời của phương Đông). The Lương became a regional power within Southeast Coius. Her rule saw the rise in Nainan's economic strength and the size of the cities of Tài Lẽ, Trinhieu, and Setrong grew immensly. Lady Lương and Sang were Badi and began a massive promotion of the faith in Nainan, it became particularly more popular in the northern areas during her rule. Sang Quang Huy would command the military with Lady Lương until his death, after this Lương stopped her expansion of Nainan and would attend more towards modernizing the nation. Her rule began the use of imperial examinations to build a stronger government and was used to select regional governors. In the later part of her rule she began to establish treaties with neighbors. Lương and Sang today are considered national heroes of the Nainese people.
She would die in 1106 and was succeeded by her son Lương Vĩnh Hưng, his rule saw a continuation of his mother's policies, he was credited with the finishing of the creation of Nainan's oldest university, during his rule he instated that Badi and Zohism be the two state religions of Nainan. The Lương repelled numerous invasions during their rule and began to focus their military solely on defense of the empire, making dozens of military instillations on it's frontiers, in the 13th century the Nainese began settling westward and inland and pushing back various groups such as the Makhao and the Ryo.
The Lương dynasty would continue to be the largest Nainese dynasty and ruled until the 15th century when their last ruler died without an heir. They would become replaced by the serving regent Thân Khắc Thành, and their dynasty, the Thân dynasty. Turmoil caused by the transition lead to rebellion and the size of the nation diminished.

It is a relatively large country in Coius, it has a somewhat diverse array of biomes and climates, though it is generally warm. Nainan has historically been centered around three rivers, the Black River, the Rukang River, and the Serpent River, located north to south respectively. The North and Southern parts of Nainan are geographically and culturally different in many ways, are Nainan is usually divided between the north and south along the Rukang. The eastern half and western half of Nainan are also sometimes divided, usually due to geographic and cultural different, the east being mostly Nainese and the west being mostly minority groups.
Eastern Nainan is generally flat, with three major river deltas along the Black, Rukang, and Serpent Rivers. The largest is the Serpent River Delta in the south, where the city of Setrong and the surrounded area is mostly located on. In the north the capitol of Trinhieu is located along the Black River. The inland western regions of Nainan are much less flat and there are many rolling hills and valleys, including the Là Thao Ridge, which divides the western Makhao Plateu from the rest of Nainan.

Government and Politics
The 1964 constitution is the founding basis for the functions and layout of Nainan's government. The government includes a executive branch, legislative branch, and a judicial branch. The head of state is the office of State Director, and the head of government is the Premier. Nainan has a unitary form of government, and mixed presidential and parliamentary elements. Some has compared Nainan's government to having semi-presidential system. Politically it is considered an authoritarian state by many. The Government is centered around the ideology of Tự Ý Chí (自意志; lit. "self-will"), based upon the writings of first Director Hoàng Viện Trai.
Government
All leaders of all branches of government, and the NPSL general secretariat are part of the Central Council (会同中秧; Hội đồng Trung ương), which serves the leading body of Nainan's government and to allow work between all branches and the party. Some members of the Central Council include the State Director, Premier, President of the People's Senate, General Secretary of the NPSL, and the Chief of Staff of the People's Army of Solidarity. The Central Council supersedes all branches of the government and has no central chairperson leading it.
The executive branch of the government is the State Directory (書目茹渃; Thư mục Nhà nước), it is lead by the State Director, who serves as the head of state, he is the appointer of the Premier and Cabinet. It also consists of the Premier, who as head of government leads the cabinet with support from the People's Senate.
The legislative branch of the government is the People's Senate (上院人民; Thượng viện Nhân dân). It is a unicameral legislature and is usually lead by the President of the People's Senate and the Premier and cabinet officials can sometimes be members of the People's Senate. Within the legislature there is only one party, the NPSL, but it is divided into many unofficial factions. There are a total of 599 seats in the People's Assembly, each seat represents their various districts. Each Province has a total number of districts based on population.
The judicial branch of the government is the Judiciary Committee (委班四法; Ủy ban Tư pháp). It is the highest judicial body in Nainan and is made up of 15 members. They are all appointed by the Central Council with approval from the State Director, Premier, and People's Senate. They also have a sub-division known as the Inspection Committee which is meant to maintain order of government officials and remove those who are going against the Party.
Nainan's government is considered very authoritarian by many and has been criticized as corrupt and is even considered by many to be a police state. Various government police groups such as the notorious Van Dieu are criticized as removing political dissent from the country. The banning of all other parties besides the NPSL has garnered wide-spread criticism of the government since it's creation in 1964. Some have called it an example of extreme authoritarian southern democracy.
Political factions and Tự Ý Chí
 Patriotic Faction (212) Great Resolve Bloc (186) Workers' Solidarity (78) Agrarian Faction (44) Nainese Badi Interests (25) Nainese Zohist Interests (22) Autonomous Provinces Union (7) National Defence (3) Unaffiliated (17) Nonpartisan (5) |
Since 1964, all members of the government are required to be part of the sole political party of Nainan, the Nainan People's Solidarity and Longevity (團結吧長壽𧵑人民奈人; Đoàn kết và trường thọ của nhân dân Nài Nhân). All other parties in Nainan are banned as written in the 1964 constitution. Despite the fact all government officials are part of one party, there are many factions with different viewpoints among the entirely of the NPSL. There are independent politicians however they are still affiliated with the central party.
Since the time of Hoàng Viện Trai the party has slowly become more diverse in political ideologies. But the Party's central ideological framework is known as Tự Ý Chí (自意志; lit. "Self-Will"). The ideology based upon the writings of Hoàng, heavily inspired upon National Principlism, along with some ideals taken from Imaharism and Sattarism as well. It includes tenets of socialism in terms of economic policy, but it rejects the "chaotic socialism" of Kirenia or Chistovodia. It is nationalist in terms of social policy. On foreign policy the ideology states that Nainan must remain separate from control of any foreign entity, even if they are nations that can be considered allies to Nainan. The ideology is immensely anti-liberal and anti-socialist.
Today there around 14 unofficial factions of the NPSL. The largest is the faction based around the policies of State Director Lê Tranh Lộc and his Premier Quách An Tương, it is unofficially known as the Patriotic Faction (派腰渃; Phe Yêu Nước). it has called for a less authoritarian approach to Tự Ý Chí, and to work closer with Zorasan. The other major faction is unofficially lead by party General Secretariat Hoàng Lan Mai, it is known as the Great Resolve Bloc (大解決; Đại Giải Quyết), it is much more nationalist and authoritarian in it's ideology and more isolationist when it comes to Nainan's relationship with ROSPO. There are a few other factions as well in the NPSL, including a more socialist-leaning faction and a more agrarian-leaning faction. Despite their differences, the enforcement of the party by the Van Dieu makes it difficult for the factions to truly diverge, and many still follow through with the party's goals.
Subdivisions
There are a total of 25 subdivisions in Nainan, with 3 different types. The first are the Provinces (省; Tỉnh), of which there are 16 of, the largest province is the Đất Đen Province. The next subdivision are the Autonomous Provinces (省自治; Tỉnh tự trị), of which there are 5 of, these autonomous regions are designated for minority groups in the western half of the country. The Makhao people have two designated autonomous provinces, the Là Thao Province and Duan Ta Wen Province. The third subdivision are the 4 National Cities (城舖國家; Thành phố quốc gia), including the capitol Trinhieu and the largest city Setrong.

Law enforcement and crime
.jpg)
Nainan's law is based on civil law, and the highest judiciary is the Judiciary Committee (委班四法; Ủy ban Tư pháp), this court is both a civil and constitutional court and is the highest court of the country. There are provincial and municipal courts as well, but all courts report to the Judiciary Committee.
The law enforcement of Nainan is run by the Ministry of Security. The largest police force of Nainan is the Public Security Force of Nainan (力量公安奈人; Lực lượng Công an Nài Nhân), that nearly entirely deals with most matters of law enforcement. The other major national agency is the Civil Security Force of Nainan (力量安寧民事奈人; Lực lượng an ninh dân sự Nài Nhân), a grendamarie force that is tasked with federal crimes. There are also provincial level agencies and municipal level agencies that patrol their designated subdivisions, but still all police agencies in Nainan report to the national police. As of 2020 there are around 90,000 law enforcement officers active in all of Nainan.
Crime in Nainan is considered somewhat average on a global scale, there are still many issues that exist in Nainan today. During the short period after independence crime in the Kingdom of Nainan grew and became prevalent in the cities of Trinhieu and Setrong. Organized crime organizations had formed and have continued to exist, despite the government's efforts to take them down. These mafia-like organizations still exist today and engage in crime such as drugs, smuggling, prostitution, and fraud. Many sources have given these organizations a name known as the Rễ Cây (𣑶𣘃; lit. "the roots"), and many cities such as Canhdong today have become hotbeds for crime done by the Rễ Cây. Today the government has recently increased in their push against the Rễ Cây and have recently vowed to "destroy them". The average homicide rate in Nainan is 1.6 per 100,000 and has grown around 1.52% per year.
Nainan's central intelligence agency is the infamous Authority of Culture and Investigation (機關文化吧調查; Cơ quan Văn hóa và Điều tra), and is commonly referred to as the "Van Dieu" (文調; Văn Điều). It serves as both the main domestic and foreign intelligence agency of Nainan, it is seen as a secret police force by many and is has been once called "the central weapon of the party", it also has been accused of using excessive and unethical tactics in it's efforts. It is equipped with a special operations force and a paramilitary wing, and is considered the government's main force when it comes to crushing dissent and foreign influence in Nainan. There are other, smaller intelligence agencies including the Information Defence Force (力量房首通信; Lực lượng phòng thủ thông tin), dealing with cyberwarfare matters, and the National Security Authority (機關安寧國家; Cơ quan an ninh quốc gia), pertaining more towards counter-terrorism.
Foreign policy
.jpg)
Having the state ideology of Tự Ý Chí being based heavily on the ideals of National Principlism, Nainan since the 1960s has been in close ties with Shangea, as well as Siamat. Nainan today has maintained relations with their neighbors in Southeast Coius. Nainan has been keen on promoting anti-imperialism in Coius, and has recently began to seek closer relations with nations like Zorasan, Mabifia, and Ajahadya, and has regularly been a close ally of ROSPO. They have been supportive of making Coius self-supportive and without the influence of Euclea, they have also regularly opposed the spread of Senrian influence and organizations such as SAMSO or COMDEV, calling Senria a "puppet" of the north. Despite their anti-Euclea sentiment Nainan has recently attempted to reach out to Euclea on grounds of "maintaining close contact" with the continent.
The country has had troubled relations with Kuthina, and have been supportive of the pro-Shangean state of Heijiang, offering aide and support to the latter. The country also takes an anti-socialist stance ideologically according to Tự Ý Chí, and has had difficult relations with it's socialist neighbors in the Brown Sea Community. In recent years relations with the BSC have cooled down and focused more on the cultural relations Nainan has with the BSC nations, namely the importance of Badi faith, though the persecution of socialists in Nainan has kept relations difficult. The country has began to approach cultural ties with nations more, such as Zohist and Badi faith, and linguistic relations. Nainan is currently a member of the BUD, IFDS, and the CN.

The armed forces of Nainan is called the People's Army of Solidarity (軍隊人民團結; Quân đội nhân dân đoàn kết), it has five different branches, the ground force, air force, navy, national guard, and special operations. Nainan has around 532,000 activer personnel, over 2,100,000 in reserves, and 90,000 in paramilitary service. It is one of the largest militaries in the world, this is mostly due to compulsory service being enforced by the government for all citizens.

Infrastructure
Before the late 20th century, Nainan's infrastructure was very weak and mostly relied on the waterways and rivers for transportation. It did experience growth as the Weranian government issues various projects such as roads and railways during their colonial rule, but still was behind neighbors like Shangea, especially after the Nainese Civil War did the infrastructure of Nainan be damaged. Since then Nainan's infrastructure has seen massive growth within the passed few decades, especially at the beginning of the 21st century, when the government began to massively modernize the country. It is considered one of the fastest growing economies in the world in terms of it's infrastructure and transportation. Over the passed few decades over 200,000 km of roads and 9,000 km in railways have been built in Nainan, including many national road expressways connection major cities and metro stations in Setrong and Trinhieu. There are 12 major ports and harbos located in Nainan's coastal and riverside cities, the largest being Setrong Regional Port.

Reigious affliation of Nainan (2019 census)
Nainan is a religiously diverse nation, with no religion having an absolute majority in the country since the 17th century. There are two dominant religions in the country, Badi, and Zohism. For most of Nainan's history the country followed Dai Tin, Nainese folk religion, or Zohism due to Shangean and Svai influence. In recent centuries Badi has set itself as a major religion of the country, although many practice syncretic faiths combining both Badi and Zohism. Most Badi live in the north and eastern halves of Nainan, whilst most Zohists live in the south and west halves. Some minority groups include Irfan, mostly Danoks, Sotirianity, mostly converts during Weranian rule, non-religion, and Dai Tin.
During the early centuries of Nainese history the Zohists had by far the majority, especially during rule of the Svai Empire. This remained the case until the rise of the Great Lương dynasty, lead by Lady Lương and Sang Quang Huy, both Badists. The Lương began to enforce Badi onto the Nainese during the next three centuries and converted nearly 40% of the country to the faith by the fall of the dynasty.
Over the next centuries the faith of Dai Tin greatly fell in practice, though it was mainly syncretic with Badi and Zohism. A Zohist revival during the 17th century and Aguda Empire influence lead to continuing growth of the two religions in Nainan. During the Naikolonie the Weranians had many missionaries that spread Sotirianity to the country, converted several thousands within the first few years. In the 20th and 21st centuries irreligion and atheism had become more popular. During the NPSL the government promoted syncretic mixing of faith, as NPSL leader Hoàng Viện Trai practiced both Badi and Zohism. Today Nainan is both one of the largest Badi and Zohist nations in the world.
