Starting with Geography:

There are 5 cities being Windira, Serico, Warner, Dekins and Vicktoria with Serico being the countries capital city. Vandoosa is a continent at the Southern Pole. City of Windira is near the Southern pole wile the other 4 major cities are on the coastline to the North. With the Nation being at the South pole it can be confusing in what direction is North or South when looking at a map. It was decided that Serico is at the North, Vicktoria is at the East, Dekins is at the South and Warner is at the West to make things less confusing. There is a large volcano that erupts in small waves from time to time causing earthquakes. Sometimes large eruptions do happen. Most areas are covered in forests and taiga in the Western area with semi arid and rainforest areas in the East. With the cold and warm areas so close together violent storms do happen frequently. Most dominate winds blow from East to west.

Total area is 51,074,098 KM (31,735,973 square miles) Though quite large just over 90% is considered uninhabitable wasteland, frozen deserts, volcanic hotspots and extreme weather zones.

The most remembered temperature change on record was a massive drop from 138F (59C) to -169F (-112C) in 8 minutes during the Mnt Vandervorsa derecho superstorm event just before the Socialist Revolution.

The Serico subduction zone just off the Northern Coast has been known to produce mega-thrust earthquakes as much as magnitude 13.

Serico is particularly known for icestorms.

-------------
City of Serico:

Located at what is considered the North coast of Vandoosa. The capital city of Serico has a nice red colored sky when the sun sets. Not sure why... Has many factories and gardens to look at. Most of the Nations slavichna race lives here. All so pigeons and ants everywhere. Those can be a problem! Serico produces most of the products of Vandoosa and contains some of the larger military bases. Severe weather and earthquakes are a constant problem but modern architecture has many ways to compensate for this.

Truckloads of potatoes are shipped here from Vicktoria to be processed into vodka by Serico Corporation.

Serico has thick vegetation much like a rain forest. Timber woodchipping and and The Uranium Mining industries clear off large areas of Schzeska pine trees in the Schzeska forest. There is violently shifting weather patterns with Serico normally have very hot and humid conditions. Massive cold fronts push out the hot humid air and cause tornado outbreaks and what is know as a golf storm. It will start out hot then drop below freezing resulting in catastrophic ice storms.

First in command of the city of Serico is Governess Isadora Veloshova.

A look at the skyline and part of the Golf Sea er.. What are you doing there Ozoi.. you are blocking everyone's view...

------------
City of Dekins:

Located at what is considered the Southern coast of Vandoosa. Dekins is full of factories and processing plants. The largest oil refinery is located here as well as most of the Nations steel refineries. The Hydrocon Steel Organization produces most of the countries building matierias like steel beams and concrete products.

Dekins is considered to have the calmest weather in Vandoosa with only light rain and snow at most. Strong storms do happen sometimes but are much less frequent than the other 4 cities.

First in command of the City of Dekins is Ishtaya Ventrava.

------------
City of Vicktoria:

Located at what is considered the East coast of Vandoosa. Vicktoria has windy weather and heavy snow falls. Stays cold and cloudy most of the time.
Large potatoes are grown in the area and shipped to Serico to be used to make vodka.

First in Command of the City of Vicktoria is Akaya Zestakina who is all so the Goddess of Summer.

90% of all the fishing industries are located here with the Gold Mining Industry as well.

-------------
City of Warner:

Located on what is considered the Vandoosan West coast. Warner is dangerously close to Mnt Vandervorsa and receives many shock waves and threads of evacuation during larger eruptions.

First in command of the City of Warner is Akmora Zushinka.

Warner has an arid climate but will all so have sharp drops in temperature with dry thunderstorms producing tornadoes.

The Hot Pepper Industry keeps Warner running with many crops outside city limits. Peppers often grow well in arid climate making them spicier.

-------------
City of Windira:

Located near the Southern Pole Windira is the coldest city in Vandoosa Temperatures average around -220F (-140C)
Windira receives very little precipitation. Light snows on occasions. Only one species of tree grows in the area. The Schzeska Pine inhabits extreme climates and tends to grow anywhere. Mostly alazonka race lives in the area as they like the cold much better than slavichna do.

First in command of the City of Windira is Governess Iska Votri.

The Veletrovna Military base is located outside the city limits where the soldiers work with the The Uranium mining industry.

The Flag, Anthem and personification:

Old version of the flag under Xentra's rule:

New version of the flag under Lilly's rule:

The flag is green to stand for the forests and displays the "Shvonka". Shvonka is an ancient Vandoosan rune that means cycle and unity like the 4 seasons. The bars are only there for pretty factor. Shvonka is all so the official symbol for the National religion Shonvkism.

The flag was updated under Lilly Zaiveria's rule to include the Fasces symbol to show the people of Vandoosa that we are rising as a super power.

This is the official flag of Vandoosa however the one displayed might be random pictures I find cute!

Official anthem of Vandoosa:

Slavland - Płomień Wzgardy

After mental illness took it's toll Xentra was forced to retire and Lilly Zaiveria became supreme ruler of the world. Political views of most citizens are now militant fascism. If you do not agree with this you will be reconditioned.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
History:

Most history from before 500 years ago is unknown for some reason. Noone is allowed to speak of it or you get shot.

There was no real government at first. Everything was ran by companies and the one bank known as Serico. More of an industrialist nation based on capitalism. After a super eruption of Mt. Vandervorsa over 500 years ago led to many years with no Summer. Much of the country fell into complete chaos. Some believe it was a result of a failed attempt to build a super weapon capable of controlling the weather.

Many groups formed and fought for power. The Alazonka Nationalist Reich wanted to remove all inferior races and the Communist party wanted to create an industrial powerhouse like the old days. But with the ideals of social equality. The fight between these two groups lasted many years.

At first the Fascist group of Alazonka had much of the control of the area.
Climate change and famine led to mass starvation. So many wanted equal distribution of food and wealth. The harsh conditions and civil war led to the Socialist Revolution and oppressed farmers joined the Communist party. After years of riots and many cities burning to the ground The Alazonka Nationalists began losing ground and contact to other bases. Eventually the Communist party gained power and The Peoples Republic of Vandoosa was born. September 6'th was proclaimed a National holiday "Liberation Day"

Many decades of socialism passed and a bit of corruption happened over time...
Commander of the military Xentra Asoodnav had began a plot to turn Vandoosa into an industrial powerhouse and many large construction sites where built. At the time the country was still under socialism and all citizens are closely watched to keep spies out.

Xentra's mental condition caused his mind to break over time and was tricked into retirement by Lilly Zaiveria who was at the time second in command of the military. Lilly became supreme ruler of everything and now protects everyone from themselves as our most benevolent ruler.

Currently under the rule of Lilly Zaiveria, the country has returned to it's roots as a capitalist powerhouse but now ruled by the military.
The military has complete control over pretty much everything and thrives to gain power by any means necessary. Racism is no longer a problem now with every one being brainwashed to accept love and peace as a way of life, so long as it means they pledge their souls to The Corporate Military Junta of Vandoosa . Fascism has once again taken over and you must shout the nation's motto once a day or risk being shot! “☆Uwok nedstrovski pormakenin! TCMJOV Vo stek Strovat!☆”

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Culture:

Very simple culture of mostly farmers, workers and soldiers. Most food is very spicy with lots of hot peppers and fish. All female citizens take pride in being cute. They wear dresses with many colors and patterns and have red circles drawn on their cheeks. Male citizens often drink a lot and get into fights. Landscaping and architecture are made to look complex and fancy in hopes to make other nations think of Vandoosa as a rich utopia.

It is mandatory for all citizens to wear colorful and cutesy clothes like this!

Or you get a smack! and don't forget your red circles on your cheeks!

Certain things like being punctual and obedient are strongly rooted into the culture due to military rule. All male citizens must goose step in unison and all female citizens must have their red circles on cheeks as all Kuwari warriors should. If one forgets red circles on her cheeks she is swatted with a news paper. This will make her feel so dishonored she will cry and run home to think about her life.

Red circles on cheeks:

Vandoosa patterns and runes:

Vandoosa rune alphabet. All so ignore the dictator like parts. Vandoosa paradise:

--------

Only two races exist in Vandoosa. Slavichna and Alazonka

Slavichna have yellow,red, or black eye colors with dark brow or black hair. Slavichna are descended from the ancient Ant People. No know history of the Ant People exists anymore after Lord God Xentra removed all history to keep the people under control. Shavichna are know to be hard workers and have unusually good strength. Slavichna makes up 38% of Vandoosan peoples.

Alazonka have red, purple, and blue eye colors with grey or white hair. They are descended from faeries and have super natural powers. Alazonka make up 62% of Vandoosan peoples.

Example to tell the difference: Right Alazonka left Slavichna

They never seem to mix as the children come out being either Alazonka or Slavichna even if the parents are of both types.

--------

Shvonkism is the national religion of Vandoosa. It is based on worship of the seasons. The Shvonka being an old rune that stands for the 4 seasons and cycle is used as the symbol for Shonkism and is all so on the Vandoosan flag.

Worship of Nature is very important. Conservation of natural surroundings is often mandatory. The forest spirits and weather faeries are thought to bring devastation if the balance is not protected. There are 4 goddesses to worship. Sophia is the Goddess of creation and destruction. Isabella is the Goddess of chaos and stability. Schzeska is the Goddess of history and events. Anna is the Goddess of time and space.

They each have certain powers they like to use. Anna has the power of omnipresence to be anywhere at all times. Sophia likes weather related powers and protects forests mostly. Isabella promotes industrialism and encourages man kind to create technology. She will all so borrow Anna's power of omnipresence some times. Schzeska works for the government as a news reporter and often hides history to help with the control of the population.

There are all so the 4 season Goddesses as well. Septnaya being Spring Akaya being Summer Vermaya being Autumn and Windira being Winter. The symbol of the 4 seasons is used on the Vandoosan flag.

Lilly Zaivera has become powerful enough to be the self proclaimed 9'th goddess of Vandoosa.
Lilly Zaiveria is mainly focused on power and is not following the code of nature preservation. this will likely have a violent outcome in the future.

With recent industrialization it is said that Sophia will awaken soon. Mnt' Vandervorsa will erupt blocking out the sun and bring on a 1,000 year Winter.

The first signs of this will be more frequent earthquakes and unexplained extreme weather patterns.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Military:

All citizens are expected to do military training. Men handle guns and women are trained more in hand to hand combat and sword fighting. There is a morning march every day. Marching is a thing of pride so insulting ones marching style can get you shot.

Men are expected to show machoness by drinking and having the largest guns.

Women are known as Kuwari warriors and have to dress in colorful patterns to seem delicate and non threatening to the enemy.

Sorta like this:

With military training now mandatory the Kuwari's red circles on cheeks and colorful patterns has become mandatory for all female citizens. All male citizens now have to spend at least one hour per day goose stepping to the nations national anthem.

There are many military bases all over the nation.
