Concept Application

[box][u]Basic Information[/u] [b]Nation Name (Official):[/b] The Blessed Land of Deseret and Zion [b]Nation Name (Common):[/b] Deseret [b]Capital City:[/b] Zion [b]Requested Location:[/b] (Please insert an image link to your map claim; the capital city should be clearly marked, as well as any other cities you would like to be added.) [b]Requested Population:[/b] 23 million, though with a significant population of refugees and displaced people that make accurate counting difficult. [b]Government Type:[/b] (You should pick one of the government types that appears on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_system_of_government — unless there are factors that make that categorisation difficult. If so, please explain them.) [b]Cultural Overview:[/b] (A general explanation of the culture(s) that are predominant in this nation, and how they are related to other cultural groups around the world, where appropriate.) [list][*][u]Ethnicity and Language:[/u] Deseret's people have an ancient heritage, and are contemporarily [*][u]Religion:[/u] (Pretty self-explanatory, tell us about the major religions within the country and whether the population is particularly religious. Reference to any of Levilion’s existing 6 major religions is preferred, rather than any one-nation faiths.)[/list] [b]Historical Overview:[/b] (How did this nation come to be? Are there major events from the past that continue to influence your nation’s attitude in the present? Please do include any relevant local events from the Lore Outline and interaction with neighbours, not just domestic history. The tale of every election since 1900 is interesting, but usually isn’t relevant to determining how the nation will fit into the existing canon.) [b]Economic Overview:[/b] (This is not a GDP request box, but a general indication of wealth and development in the nation should be included. Imports and exports are the relevant facts here — any significant oil/gas reserves should be included with the expectation that they may or may not be vetoed, to avoid an excess of petrostates.) [b]Geopolitics:[/b] (Naturally, this might be the most difficult section to fill out, and will probably require the most Discord-based discussion. In the modern day, how does this nation interact with its neighbours and the great powers of the world? Is its political system common, or more contentious? Generally, what role does it play on the international stage? Military information can also go here.) [u]Miscellaneous Information[/u] [b]How did you find out about Levilion?:[/b] (Did someone deliver a letter in your mailbox? Let us know so we can explore how to best gain exposure!) [b]Why did you choose to apply for this concept?:[/b] (Does the real-world language and culture interest you? Is this part of a more collaborative effort between several players? Were you forced into applying by a suspicious individual?) [b]Anything else to add?:[/b] (Basically what it says on the tin!)[/box]
