Balandis
Overview
Balandis is a country made up of the islands of Botania in the West Sea. Originally a colony of Goomlandia it fell into West Sea Protection for several months before being finally settled by Canadian who founded the Nation of Balandis. It is one of the few nations on Elgeis to exhibit a tax system, private property is taxed and the collections from the tax go to funding government projects such as road construction. Balandis is considered a pure democracy where instead of representatives being voted in, every citizen votes on every single issue. Even the supposed "leader" of the nation is nothing more than an honorary title granted out of necessity due to the nature of the Faction System.
Balandish Culture
Balandis is exemplified by their unique cultural identity. Well other countries view strength and masculinity as synonyms, Balandis rejects that view and views Femininity as it's source of strength. Many myths and legends surround the Balandish Culture, including the legend of The Great Hero Astolfo who in legend protected the original Balandish People and their lifestyle from tyranny. His presence is still felt in Balandish Culture as many citizens honor him and his work. The most notable example of this is Astolfo's Line, a one kilometer Hyperbelt line that connects Balandis City to the rest of the Hyperbelt.
Although many citizens and foreigners consider Balandish Culture to be synonymous with "Femboys" this is not technically true, Balandish Culture is not a culture rooted around femininity of men exclusively but instead a celebration of femininity of any gender.
You can often catch Balandish Citizens by their obvious skirts and socks.
History
Founding
The nation was originally established on Feb 19th, 2022 with authorization from the West Sea by Blank (ACanadianGuy). Initial public opinion on the nation was very bad due to Canadian's recent controversy. However over the next couple of months the opinion of the nation grew as Blank's controversy got sorted out. Initial progress was slow as Blank focused most of his work on Repaying Goomlandia, however some more progress has been made since then.
1st Ozai - Balandis War
As soon as Balandis was declared a nation Camaradultudor, one of the leaders of Ozai, declared war on the nation calling it "Ba(rdum)landis" as a reference to the infamous nation lead by Endossi. This lasted half a day as Ozai withdrew their declaration as negotiations continued.
