The Nation was an oligarchal dictatorship located on an island 2,000 kilometres off the west coast of the United Realms in the Urial Dimension. At the height of its power, its population was close to 17 million, but its rule would be abruptly ended by Legion, who destroyed the Urial Dimension in its entirety.

Though virtually unknown throughout much of its existence as guaranteed by its isolationist policy, it gained some notoriety when it was revealed that Peter Horvát was a resident of the Nation for the first sixteen years of his life.

History
It is probable that through some form of secession, the Nation's rigid government was conceived despite being in close proximity with its more powerful neighbour, the United Realms.

After the cult of worship centred around the Governor was established, the Nation began importing thousands of people from the mainland, promising 'education' and a brighter future for disenchanted citizens of the United Realms.

The following two hundred fifty years of its existence, the Nation was sustained by more imports, never participating in war or experiencing rebellions of any kind. Peter Horvát is confirmed to be the only individual to have escaped the Nation's heavily supervised borders, about one hundred years before it met its demise.
