Parhovia used to encompass the territory that is not Parhana until ideological tensions caused a cultural rift and sparked a civil war that ended with the creation of Parhana as an independent nation thirty years ago. Ideological tensions have calmed largely on the mainland, but there are occasional flare-ups on Pjor.  

Agricultural products such as wheat and wine are foundational to Parhovia’s economy. There is a rich industry of fishing off the Southern coast, but overfishing has become an issue. 

The population of Parhovia has historically been stable, but with recent geopolitical and climate related issues to the North, the region surrounding Argahani has seen a marked increase.

Parhovia is a member state of WADO as well as STA.

Parhana is Anova’s youngest nation, formed after the resolution of the Parhovian civil war thirty years ago. Relations with its Western neighbor remain tense, but are generally civil. Erva is its closest economic partner.

Despite its arid climate, Parhana produces high quality wine and olive oil. 

Because of a lack of progressive industry, Parhana suffers a negative population. Many of its younger and more educated population have migrated East to Erva and Ochor.

Parhana is a member state of WADO and STA.

Erva’s central and southern position grants it both easy access to most of the nations of Anova in modern trade relations. Historically it has been surrounded by opposing states and developed a stance of neutrality among them.

Erva’s economy relies heavily on it’s technological exports and financial services sector. Its political neutrality is a benefit to international banking needs.

The average age of Erva’s population is under forty as it attracts many of its neighbor’s youth and educated professionals. Population growth in the already crowded territory has created housing issues though.

Erva is a member state of the STA and WADO. It’s membership in WADO has caused friction with the eastern nations of Ochor, Pyce and the Patan Confederacy as it has declared neutrality politically, but is obligated by treaty to defend PRH as an ally.

Ochor’s cultural capital is Faludi and shares the metropolitan area around Pist, the capital of Pyce. The area rivals Erva in population density, and is culturally and ideologically diverse. There have been no major conflicts with any of it’s neighboring nations historically, but a small population of indigenous people claim the Ochor Pat Mountains as their homeland and are petitioning for semi-autonomy.

The southern half of Ochor is agriculturally rich and the Ochor Pat mountains are mineralogically abundant, closely tying them to the needs of Erva.  

Ochor’s population trends over 45, but it’s northern region averages 25-30.

Ochor is a member state of STA.

Pyce is historically a nomadic culture closely related to the ethnic groups of the Nejuv Nations. Their culture has been greatly influenced by Ochor along the southern border, and has embraced a more cosmopolitan lifestyle in the capital.

The thin band of agriculturally rich ground south of the Ban Dova Mountains is Pyce’s only producing region. The northern mountains and the sea floor off of Ana Kydav are mineralogically rich though and account for the majority of exports.

80% of the population lives within 100 kilometers of the capital Livaja. The next largest city is Ana Rynd, but population along the western border has been reduced due to current military aggression of the PRH.

Pyce is largely self sufficient and is not part of any defense or trade alliances.

The Patan Confederacy has historically been secluded from the mainland politically, but their culture of shipbuilding and exploration has seen them connect with many countries across Anova and beyond. They have been a unified confederacy for 150 years and due to their largely homogenous ethnicity, there is little cultural or ethnic tension.

Due to their prowess in shipbuilding and navigation, Rangupatan holds a near monopoly on shipping, providing vessels for the vast majority of sea trade along the southern and eastern Anovan coasts. Their fisheries and sea plantations are their second and third most important exports.

The Patan Confederacy is 95% indigenous, with 3% originating in Ochor and 2% from other countries across Anova.

The Patan Confederacy has applied to become a member state of STA, but its standing is currently still under review.

Historically, the people of the Neju Desert and its environs have been nomadic people, though they are unified ethnically and religiously by the permanent city of Ilu. Before the advent of flight, the region effectively separated Pyce and the PRH. However, during the rare earth rush of the last two decades, Pyce has taken a close interest in the area. Pyce is currently trying to annex the majority of the desert up to the area just East of Prs Belijona claiming sovereignty over the rich mineral deposits. The PHR has likewise claimed the desert encompassing Ilu on ideological grounds as their state run religion is said to originate in the city.

Aside from the recent discovery of rare earth deposits in the desert and offshore, there is no economic value to the region. The loose alliance between most groups also makes trade with other nations not currently trying to annex their land difficult.

A census of the Nejuv Nations has never been effectively performed due to its region spanning the border between Pyce and the PRH. 

The western half of the Neju Desert is within the border of the PRH so it technically falls under the WADO (West Anovan Defense Organization), but the other member states have yet to act in its defense due to any aggression from Pyce.
