Nasphilitae ⟪nāsfɪlɪtɛ⟫, derived from a double word-play of:

(“-p-” is omitted)

…is a country on the continent of Crabry. North, bordered with Phanama; West, bordered with Esfalsa; South, bordered with Jakub; East (“Brownfield Coastline”) bordered with the southern portion (“Supra-South”) of South Pacific Ocean.
Temperature, annually, declines in axis of East-West, so too do sunlight days and annual precipitation. This serves the elaboration for its formerly rich biodiversity, which has since been reduced to the Thanes of Mason[north-west] & Fieldler[north]. Further, this serves the elaboration for its persisting-the-use-of symbolism: The Green Colour && The Green Roseflower.

Nasphiliti economy is presumed to the property of the following: developing, emerging, or “newly (re)industrialised economies”.
This dispute is a produce of there existing clear, mere five political economic approaches, since its first settlement in 1589:

  • Mercantilism (1589-1777)
  • Industrialism[Capitalism] (1777-1901)
  • “Collective Agro-Industrialism”[Carl Darzen coinage] (1901-1988)
  • Post-industrialism (1988-2004)
  • “Import-substituted Isolationist Re-industrialism” (2004-2023)

Characteristics of[the economy] are: strict division of labour-sector; low inequality[equally impoverished]; social property in addition to state-public and private; former monopoly on two specific finance services[operations closed]

It is, as of 1960., officially the “Republican Electoral Grand Duchy of Nasphilitae”.

  • [Republic]:“Social offices held by all of society in the name of all society”-county level.
  • [Electoral Monarchy]:“Collective representative (HoS) subject to elections from candidates of the Peerage”
  • [Grand Duchy]:“Title of Duchy was granted with the Dominion; Grand was included as to distinguish full sovereignty in foreign affairs”

The fifteen families comprise the Peerage, each of title Peer, each with a Thane. In each Thane, per 5 Earldoms, Earls title of which is honorary[not hereditary].
While unitary it is highly regionalised[by Peerage & Earldoms] and delegated[by four cities and 75 counties]. Exceptionally, only the judicial profession is truly unitary[cooperative and harmonious on all three levels], albeit enjoying the highest sovereignty, chained by mandatory life akin to monastic property.
However, a there is no codified constitution, and as only it can decide:rule by estimating the intent of an accused, it enjoys statesmanship, formalised by “judicial interpretations”.

Culturally described as: “society of stasis”, “syncretic”, “bridge-valley”, “traumatisedisolated”, “convoluted in customs” (…) by domestic authors, all which seek to induce the same underlying instance of a “prism by intersection & negating the existence of substantia contradictions”. There can, by comparative, be observed certain notable characteristics proprietary to Nasphiliti society & culture.
It is strictly secular, yet has 95-98% of residence self-ascribing “highly religious”, with 85-91% weekly service attendance.
There exists strong emphasis on education even among the Industrialists[21st cc: state minimalists], yet other-such basic necessities are subject to neglect[Greene implies a criticism of the healthcare subsystem].
Thirdly, it does not conduct ethnicity in The National Registry, from which a safe assumption would be a clearer sense of identity[Greene alludes to immigration-assimilation policies], yet an official language lacks even discussion of there being the need for its declaration.

Discrepancy in matters related to “out-of-bounds”[Greene purposefully avoids the correct term:foreign affairs] is observable in high potentiality[inferred is mediation], result of rigorous training of the HM-ICDC staff in understanding the environment in which they serve. Contrasting, to HM-ICDC domestic policies of non-interventionism[inferred is criticism on how mediation is not manifested]


Editor note: Matthew Greene approaches foreign matters very delicately
in the ending statement - This is not exceptional, but is indicative
of it being considered a taboo to be discussed outside of HM-ICDC.
