[spoiler] is an island nation in the southern oceans. A nation in perpetual turmoil, it was ruled for decades by a Stalinist dictator. Perhaps as a result of their constant oppression and bad international reputation, Bai Lungese are often combative toward others, and tend to associate only with each other outside their homeland.
After a military coup that ended the long-standing dictatorship but replaced it with another just as bad, Bai Lung has been taken over by an international peacekeeping force.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler]is a small, tropical island nation in the extreme south of the East Pacific. A former British colony and current Commonwealth nation, it is divided into five partially autonomous states. Dannistrians are proud of their independent, unique nation and extremely reverent toward their god, Hal’vo.
After a recent war with Bai Lung, Dannistaan is a major part of the peacekeeping forces there. Several internal political conflicts exist, usually between the state of East Dannistaan and the others.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler]is a moderately sized nation, located perilously near Packilvania. Insular and isolated, Dovakhan has traditionally existed in separation from other nations until quite recently. The Dovakhanese people are progressive, friendly and optimistic, but resentful of outsiders’ attempts to intrude upon their society, which they view as ideal.
Recently, Dovakhan has embarked on a long, slow move toward a more privatized and less socialist society. There is an ongoing territorial dispute regarding the independence of a number of island territories.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler]is a remote nation, only recently emerging from self-imposed isolation. The government is dominated by the military and affiliated corporations, which are themselves largely controlled by the family of President Ludwig von Drakken. Society in Drakkengard is largely stratified, and those who are not affiliated with the military or other elites are expected to show absolute respect and loyalty to those who are.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler]
is a space-based empire with a foothold in the East Pacific. Composed of long-lived humanoids, it has usually preferred to stay neutral in conflicts and focus mainly on internal issues. East Malaysian society is free and prosperous, but most power resides in the Empress.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler]is a huge, democratic state, located in an archipelago that eerily resembles Indonesia. FPS is in many ways very similar to the United States of America, and in most cases things that can be assumed about American culture can be assumed about FPSian society as well. The populace is far more politically active, with both good and ill results.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler]is an ancient civilization established in the equivalent of Japan. It is ruled by an Emperor and consists of many fantastic and diverse species. Loopian society is more than a little wacky, and is responsible for exporting fridge owls, nekomimi, ginger-loving lizards, and much Apple merchandise to the region.
Infinite Loop has suffered greatly from past wars with Packilvania, the outbreak of the Nekomimi Flu (yes, it’s what it sounds like) and breakaway provinces, and so no longer exerts the foreign influence it once did.
Currently it is a radiation soaked semi-wasteland due to attacks made upon it during the Invasion. Much of the population including the Empress and her children fled to Alpha Prime to join with the IL Colony that was established several years ago.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler]is a sprawling, technologically advanced empire centered far outside the borders of the East Pacific. It is ruled and largely populated by an enigmatic race of subterranean-dwelling dark elves. The Kandarinese people rarely make the news in the East Pacific at all, partly because of their low presence and partly because they prefer not to draw attention to themselves in public. Their society appears to be based on a caste system.
Recently, a Kandarinese corporation has offered to sell new anti-aging treatments to the general public, but most governments refused to accept their terms.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler]is a large, prosperous nation located somewhat to the north of the Free Pacific States. In many ways it is analagous to Canada, including and especially government style and cultural climate. Kelssek is neutral in all conflicts, preferring to maintain its excellent international and human rights reputation.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler]is a state founded as an extension of Hungary. It has been a revolutionary Communist state since the end of its recent civil war. The Communist movement appears to have wide-reaching popular support and the military commands great respect. Recently, Lazlowia conquered the neighboring nation of Algaisia.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler]is an emerging island nation group of 4 islands in the South of the region, made up of Main Island in the East and 3 smaller islands to the West, these islands are areas of outstanding natural beauty, both eco tourism and the fact the islands are offshore banking tax havens bring great wealth to the nation. The large fishing industry is the mainstay of the common islander with a widely held reputation for quality and value, offshore mineral and oil extraction is rapidly taking off with heavy investment in eco friendly engineering and underwater techniques and this advanced technology is being offered to other nations.
A liberal, very prosperous, friendly and untroubled nation, it has a small standing army but a much larger navy to protect it’s offshore activities, Morhams however look to other larger industrialised nations for trade and selected imports…
[/spoiler]
[spoiler]is a large, imposing state located right in the center of the East Pacific. Government and society are based around the Hive, an all-consuming cybernetic collectivization of all minds. Packilvania has a long and illustrious history of invading its neighbors, or trying to.
Special focus has been placed on peacefully assimilating Free Pacific States, but recent attempts dissolved into a brief civil war within FPS and isolation of Hive proponents.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler]is a hilly nation whose government and culture is based around hats, helmets, headdresses, bowlers, buckets, berets, tops, tricorners, miters, masks, stetsons, skullcaps, sombreros, fezes, fedoras, and piths.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler]is a small, mountainous nation in the far north, established by emigrants from the collapsing extraregional empire of Irem. It was founded by Duke Elistar Reziel, the leader of the Archangels, Irem’s military elite. Ireman society is highly structured, rooted in tradition and codes of honor.
Recently, Reziel had to contend with the arrival of a far more aggressive group of Ireman emigrants, who warred the tin-pot dictatorship of Airbus-UK.
[/spoiler]

Rightport is well known for being one of the most popular tourist destinations in TEP and the world.Its also known for its one of a kind resorts and attractions.

[/spoiler]
[spoiler]is a moderately sized nation known for been TEP equivalent to South Korea, is near to Vekaiyu, to the north. Shivat has a industry mainly focused in new technologies and services, the people of Shivat are very conservative but open to the new technologies and tourists. The country’s climate is not very hot, mainly because is in the north.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler]is a rocky, blasted, and inhospitable nation founded by refugees and mercenaries fleeing the political and military strife of the region. The original citizens of Toehold were a large band of culturally Western mercenaries, and the virtual slaves of Tasargeria, working the rich mineral deposits of the region.
The brutal and ugly revolution, combined with the countries embracing of refugess from across the region, has made for a strange climate culturally. Friendly religious militant anarchists might be the best method of describing them. extremely few laws restricting private or public life, but with a patriarchial/matriarchial society that blends oddly but seamlessly with their military, which every citizen is required to join. personal responsiblity and personal authority are at the heart of this odd culture. It takes outsiders and immigrants quite a while to understand it (a process that is helped through the military requirement).
[/spoiler]
[spoiler]s a moderately sized nation known for its cool climate and very green landscape dotted with forests. While the nation has experienced problematic leaders in the past which turned the state into a war machine, new leadership is emerging and looking to rise above the staunch competition. A socialist nation as well as religious, Vekaiyu is emerging from a depression due to being a technological hotbed for science, as innovative technology melds with determination and a strong education program.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler]is an archipelago nation in the north western sea of the East Pacific, and while in the middle of important trade routes and with many neighbors, it is known primarily as an isolationist nation with fierce people and which has held fiercer battles.
In recent years violence has cooled to a chill of ice, with little violence going on, even in previously contested areas. The nation claims that the ‘Time of shatter stars’ (A civil war between many of it’s houses) has been over for a decade, but it’s actually only ended fully with the actions if the Warreic Imperial Army.
