Grestin (Kostel: [ɡɹɛstɪn]), also known as Newest Grestin, is a country located in south Kafrica. The country is externally bordered by Aontas to the west, Solaria and Krome to the north, and the city states of the KSC and Chikushinal to the east. It covers an area of 48,919km² and has a population of roughly 25 million. The capital of Grestin is Ambargo, which is the nations 3rd largest population centre behind Diosca and Portsjeb.

Due to its many historial partions, Grestin is a mixed patchwork of distinct regions comprising 3 highly autonomous entities and a large number of smaller administered regions.

The country as it exists today was established following the 2152 Kafrican Accords, which marked an official end to the Three-Grestins Period. In exchange for concessions on territorial claims, the previously referred to "Ambargo Government", would act as the seat of a unified government. Modern Grestin officially claims to be a direct successor to the Grestin national governments of 1922-1974 and 1999-2084.

The governments and citizenry of historical Grestin would hold a worldwide reputation of being paradoxically conflict averse and unwilling to concede. A trait that many historians point towards as a driving factor for the successes of the partially celrapani ambargo government in forcefully unifying the nation in the mid 2140s.

Etymology

Out of Character Note : New Grestin very likely derives its name from the city which the 2014 video game; Papers Please, is set.

The name Grestin is believed to derive from Old Kostel, combining grēst (“border” or “margin”) with the suffix -ton (“settlement”). This is believed to have originally referred to communities situated along historic boundaries in the region. The specifics of which boundary this refers to remain under debate between 2 predominant theories:

1. The boundary between the banks of the primary river east of the K2 Mountain Range
2. The boundary between the Kerbal Space Centre and surrounding territory

The alternative theory of derivation from Old Kostel, gēst (“large”) in reference to the city’s status as a Primate City has been largely discredited following analyses of population growth in the region highlighting this status as a post-industrial development.

This name came to be applied more broadly, first to the surrounding territory, and eventually to the unified state.

Demographics

Languages

Although having no official state language, the primary spoken language within Grestin is Kostel which is spoken by 68.5% of the population who are focused in "Grestin Proper" and Diosca. Following that 17.9% speak Settler Strelkan, a number seeing ongoing decline since the official establishment of Chikushinal following the Kafrican Accords.

Smaller but still notable portions of the population also speak languages such as KSCrian, Celrapani, and Aontan due to bordering regions. Localised city sized areas are also noted for speaking high proportions of the languages brought in during periods acting as treaty ports such as Zokesian Dialects, Arkadii, or Solten.

About The Flag

Geography The Unified State of Grestin is a small nation in the south of Kafrica. It shares borders with Tekkia, the KSC, and Strelka to the north. North Grestin has a moderate coastline along the KS Sea. The territories of North Grestin cover 12 thousand square kilometers, making it the 7th largest nation on the continent behind Azenia

Grestin is largely comprised of mountainous terrain with most plainar areas lying near to the coast.

Politics Government Grestin's current government is a democracy with all people involved in government affairs and actions. Using modern technology for current and near instantaneous decisions and ratification. A system of governance akin to the Jool centric Solari model.

Every 10 years a 'Grand Citizen' is elected to act as a figure head of the nation and to act as the impartial judge of national affairs needing an unbiased voice, as well as act as an overriding force on divisive votes.

List of Grand Citizens:

Provinces Grestin is comprised of 6 territories, 3 of which are coastal. The northmost of these, the nation's namesake houses the capitol.

Foreign Relations However making political alliances with select groups after heavy negotiations and decisions being made by the people. Protecting any vassal or fellow MDP allies of Grestin.

Military The Grestin is a militarily neutral state. Not fighting unless attacked.

Population The people of New Grestin live in two main areas along the South Kafrican Banana. Port Jebidiah straddles the border with the Kerbal Space Center housing a population of 1.5 million. To the south of the capitol lie Pogo and South Post each with a population of 0.5 million Kerbals.

Economy Education The city of south post houses Grestin's three main education centres Bob Kerman Memorial College; Jebediah Memorial Flight University; and Bill's Aeronautical University for Military Cadets. Which receive an average thirty thousand applications a year.

Science and Technology The Unified State is known for such major developments as the NS-5 robots unveiled in the 2050s, the first colonization of Laythe in the same decade, the deployment of the Super GRUNT spacecraft , the creation of Peter the artificial Kerbal, among other developments.

Old Government The New Grestin States was run by new system of government that allowed for a single ruler that was checked by 2 divisions, one which managing the Kerbal's rights and votes (Domestic Branch) and another branch which manages the Bill of Actions (Administrative Branch).

File:NG states.png The Bill of Action listed what a leader may and may not do... but aside from that the leader or- Commander in Chief must take action as to progress the nation in the best way forward as they are selected by a cabinet every 10 years... however a leader may be removed from office should they break the regulations of the Bill of Actions. The New Grestin States takes a stand point of having no single political "party" but rather be a single entity which works towards set goals made by the Domestic as requested by the people.

History Pre-2041 NGS was reborn from the fall of the old governments. Angus Kerman is regarded as the father of the nation who decided to remake the government and reboot the mainland's power. So he created the current constitution alongside Shawn Kerman, Gus Kerman and Felix Kerman. Angus was elected to be the Commander in Chief thereafter, serving for four successive terms. Efforts in science took place throughout the Kerbin the largest housed in the mountains of New Grestin. On top of K2 the largest observatory on Kerbin can be found. Science teams have also been sent to the North and South poles for further exploration and research.

History Heart of Grestin North Grestin is considered the heart of tradition in the nation.

Annexation Georgia In the years following annexation North Grestin spent some years as the Zokesian client state of Georgia

Federal Association Through the Great Decline North Grestin remained part of the federation throughout the early years of the decline, only falling into disorganization

Restored New Grestin States Anti-Capitol Sentiments The unpredictable nature of the NGS’s actions led many fundamentalists to grow dissatisfied with the decisions being made by Jebidiah Spaceport. A final blow was dealt to Grestin unity in the aftermath of the Great Kerbin War as the nation was invaded and occupied. Watching as New Grestin simultaneously refused to end the conflict or fight for a victory.

The North Grestin Confederacy secceeded in early 2084 following the collapse of the New Grestin government.
