Netansett is a | Netansett is a landlocked country located in central [[Cusinaut]], a large peninsular subcontinent located northwest of the continent of [[Crona]]. Most of the country spans across a {{wp|plateau}} that surrounds a valley with an elevation that is situated around sea level. This primarily flat terrain with the occasional hill has allowed for human habitation to spread out across the nation. The sole exception is to the south of Netansett which has a sizeable mountain range that serves as the natural borders between Netansett and neighboring [[Porfiria]]. The only parts of Netansett that has access to water is through the rivers that also make up the natural borders between itself and Porfiria as well as neighboring [[Canespa]]. Other than rivers, Netansett has one lake located in the valley within the country's interior; although very close to the border, Porfiria's {{wp|Lake Matapedia|Lake Wikipédia}} does not have any single portion of it within Netanic territory due to the borders using a nearby river as a natural border instead. | ||
===Climate=== | |||
Being an entirely landlocked nation located south of the Arctic Circle but north of the tropics, Netansett's climate is largely temperate but with more assertive weather patterns and {{wp|solar seasons}}. Nonetheless, vegetation cover is largely diverse in most parts of the country, save for the northmost areas that are mostly subarctic and has, at most, {{wp|coniferous}} trees much like the northernmost areas of neighboring mainland [[New Harren]]. Average high temperatures are also higher than average high temperatures in neighboring coastal nations, and the same applies to average low temperatures. The southernmost parts of the country, being in close proximity to two sizeable lakes, happens to have the most moderate of average temperatures as well as weather patterns. | |||

By the late 1600s and early 1700s, the leaders of the Netanic League grew increasingly concerned about the presence of the militarily powerful foreigners increasingly seen in and around Cusinaut on a yearly basis. Due to their animosity with the neighboring [[Algosh people]], local alliances or membership in the hated [[Northern Confederation]] were not an option, so the Netanic League developed a different approach. The decision was made to open one city, Lichai, to Occidental trade, intending to provide large numbers of goods to the Occidentals for relatively low cost in exchange for gold and weapons. Through negotiation, it was determined that Netansett's best contributions would be {{wp|tobacco}} and {{wp|indigo}}, and prominent Netanic leaders began to build private plantations to grow and harvest these crops for export. The nation's output was relatively small at first, but by [[1700]] political and social leaders began to fully transition the country into an exporter, creating both social and political institutions to help facilitate the growth and sale of these goods. This process created what was known as the "Export Society", a new set of institutions in Netansett that eliminated many of the remnant migratory tribal lands and massively enriched a small class of planters, who would soon become the leading economic clique in the country by [[1720]]. | By the late 1600s and early 1700s, the leaders of the Netanic League grew increasingly concerned about the presence of the militarily powerful foreigners increasingly seen in and around Cusinaut on a yearly basis.

As part of the overall plan to Occidentalize the nation's economy, Autocrat [[Maitsoi Taphanso]] implemented an ambitious policy in [[2018]] to seize vast plots of land for the construction of major infrastructure, such as highways in exchange for half of its fair market value. This program would inevitably put the government and ruling classes in opposition to the nation's powerful and largely aristocratic planter classes, as their cash crop farms occupied the vast majority of the land area that was to be seized in the interior part of Netansett. Several attempts were made by leading planters to end the policy, but by [[2024]] it was clear these efforts had failed. In response, about a third of the Council of Ministers and the Chief Minister, aligned with the planters and owning large plots of lands themselves, resigned in protest. This had the effect of both alienating the planter class from the political ruling elite Tsailists but also practically eliminating the influence of the planter class in government. Accordingly, between [[2025]] and [[2030]], the rate of land seizures had accelerated, except many of these lands were auctioned off to private Netanic economic interests or even to foreign investors, deeply angering the planter elite. This divide set the administration of Autocrat Taphanso and the planter elite on a political collision course throughout the first half of the 2030s, especially as the continually-growing middle class continues to demand further reforms. | As part of the overall plan to Occidentalize the nation's economy, Autocrat [[Maitsoi Taphanso]] implemented an ambitious policy in [[2018]] to seize vast plots of land for the construction of major infrastructure, such as highways in exchange for half of its fair market value.

The 2030s in Netansett are marked by an immense increase in dissatisfaction and disillusionment with both the traditional ruling elites and the planter aristocracy as the country's Occidentalization continues. | |||

Census-taking in Netansett happens once every five years since 1900, but the enumeration of race and ethnicity has been removed from censuses since 1940 after Netansett secured economic and political independence from Kiravia. International observers have theorized that the Netanic government has stopped enumerating based on race and ethnicity so as to obfuscate the fact that non-Netanic people are generally discriminated against with restrictions on civil liberties and political rights. According to the 2030 census, over 93% of the population are of Netanic nationality, meaning that that portion of the population are considered to be full citizens of Netansett. This, however, does not take into account the ethnic origins of a Netanic citizen, just the legal status of a given resident of Netansett. The remaining portion of the population are mostly Kiravians and other Occidentals who reside in Netansett, a majority of whom being advisors to the Netanic government on matters of Occidentalization and modernization policies. while the rest of whom are Occidental construction workers in charge of building up infrastructure in Netansett that meet the standards of the great powers of the Occident. | |||

Because Netansett and its predecessor the Hukon League have been under the long-term colonial influence of [[Kiravia]] through its colony of [[Porfiria]], various denominations of {{wp|Christianity}} make up the majority of religious adherents in Netansett. [[Catholic Church|Catholicism]] is the largest religious denomination in the country when counting both the particular Latin and [[Coscivian Catholic Patriarchal Exarchate of Crona|Coscivian]] churches, the total amount of Catholics comprises just over 43% of the population in Netansett. The [[Insular Apostolic Church]], a Celtic-based denomination of Christianity primarily developed and concentrated in Kiravia, makes up approximately 16% of the population. The remaining portion of Christians in Netansett are {{wp|Protestants}}, all of whom belonging to the [[College of Levantine Churches|Collegiate]] tradition and comprise just less than 0.5% of the population of Netansett. | |||
A significant and sizeable minority of the population of Netansett remain as adherents of the indigenous [[M'acunism|M'acunist]] belief system, and can be considered the overall plurality religion of the country if one were to consider the Coscivian and Latin rites of the Catholic Church to be separate faiths despite the two denominations recognizing the supremacy of the papacy in [[Urceopolis]]; those who interpret the two particular churches to be separate denominations tend to be Netansetts who are highly nationalistic, many Netansetts, however, interpret the two particular churches to be simply two sub-denominations of the same church. It has been noted and observed that a second wave of Christianization is currently occurring in Netansett in the wake of the [[The Deluge|the Deluge]] as well as the recent policies in Occidentalization and modernization, with missionaries of the [[Catholic Church|Latin Church]] making major inroads in the country since at least [[2010]]. | |||
The remaining 0.3% of the population are adherents of denominations that are simply not large enough to warrant being given their own designation. This minority mostly consists of adherents of indigenous Cronan faiths other than M'acunism such as [[Orthodox Arzalism]], which has often been confused for being a sect of M'acunism due to the relatedness of the two faiths, but the two have diverged quite a bit since the 1970s once human sacrifice fell out of fashion in M'acunism. | |||
