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 Tiên and General Sang 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 1356. The Thân dynasty would take over until the rise of the Khiêm dynasty.

The Khiêm would rule Nainan from 1460 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 mandate called the Nai-Mandat, 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 Nai-Mandat became very disconnected from Werania, and in 1953 King Vinh Áo would declare independence as the Kingdom of Nainan.

Climate

Typhoon over Nainan, 2006

The climate of Nainan is generally warm, most of the country either ranges from temperate to tropical climates depending on how north. Most of the tropical climate areas are located in the north around the Black River, and along most of the coast. These areas include rainforests that experience monsoon weather. The Temperate areas are generally in the south around the Serpent River and in the inland highlands and mountainous areas. Nainan gets much sun during the year, giving the country fairly high temperatures.

Winter time in Nainan usually lasts around from May to September, temperatures generally drop due to cold air from the Shalegho Mountains funneling into the area, as well as polar air travelling north from the continent of Glacia. The northern region of Nainan usually has only a rainy and dry season, wile the southern areas can have around four seasons due to a more temperate climate. In the south the rainy season lasts usually from November to March, and dry season during the rest of the year. Nainan is affected by around 9-10 tropical cyclones on average per year, some reaching typhoon strength. Many areas of Nainan are heavily flood-prone and flood multiple times a year, the government has tried to combat this with new levee systems.

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

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.

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 Nation Bloc (大邦塊; Đại Bang Khối), 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 Văn Điều 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.

Law enforcement and crime

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

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.
