On a regular basis, various organisations, nowadays usually Black Flag Radio, carry out opinion polling in order to determine the voting intentions of the West Borean electorate. Since 2015, when modern polling methods began to be used regularly, the country has faced a lot of political instability, and four different political parties have all been the most and least popular at some point. The latest election, held on 28 January 2023, saw a landslide victory for the Socialists and the revival of the short-lived 1990s party, the Centre Alliance, following the banning of Sinter Tass's Soldiers' Guild and the Resource Control Board.(Full article...)

The Oan Isles is a sovereign island nation located in the West Cerenerian Ocean. Ahua the Great established the Oan Isles in 1000 CE (according to the Oan calendar this is the first year of the period AU or After Unification). He converted to Thaerism and declared it the official and only permissible religion of his realm. He spread his realm from the island of Tokamotu, over which he had been King, to surrounding islands and declared himself the Rangitanga-a-te-Moana (Ruler of the Sea). Folk religions were initially persecuted, but after the Thaerist monarchy lost a civil war in the 11th century CE, Mauism became the offical religion of the Oan Isles. Under Aotearoa the Great, the country established settler colonies in the Strathepolic Islands and integrated them into its territory, vastly expanding the size of the Oan Isles, though it lost significant swathes of territory to civil war and to Great Morstaybishlia. The country is a high-income post-industrial economy administered through free-market socialism that has a nominal GDP of over 785 billion KRB (the 8th largest in the UNAC as of 2021). Its capital, Tokapa is the seat of the Auroran Monetary Fund. (Full article...)

Fortuna is a unitary totalitarian dictatorship island nation. The nation makes up all of the Aspirian Isles off the East coast of the Yasterian continent, sharing maritime borders with Sorentavia, Fusō, Isklevyu, Auraliyu, and the Packilvanian enclave of Antimovo. Its capital is Destino. Settlement in what would become Fortuna began in 20,000 BCE, but the Aspirian Isles would remain largely fragmented until a series of conquests led to the the formation of the First Fortunan Empire in 1017 CE. This state would last until its collapse in the 1644 as a result of the Great Civil War, after which the islands were fragmented for the following three centuries. The steady reconsolidation of the islands, combined with the rise of the Unitary Nationalist Party, lead to the reunification of the Fortunan Archipelago and the creation of the Second Fotunan Empire as a fascist dictatorship. Fortuna has a GDP of $555.3 billion, with its economy largely fueled by agricultural, technological, and weapons exports. (Full article...)
