Here you will find the history of Goyanes
Around 12 BC, the first Goyanean state was established, the Hysende Hej, which existed in central Hysende, on the eastern end of the bay, where they existed until about 105 BC. At that time they were conquered by the newly founded Nyhett Kingdom, which conquered most of northern Goyanes until the unification in 1487 AD. In the south, the Sørnen Hej was established sometime around 950 AD. It was the only organized state in the south at the time, founded by migrants from Nyhett. They conquered all the kingdoms in the south, until 1273, when they finally stopped and settled down. In 1480, the Emperor of Nyhett, Danneg III married the Queen of Sørnen, Annelise I, and in 1487, their first child was born, Danneg IV, thus officially unifying both nations. After that, the kingdom became known as the Empire of Goyanes. It comprised of 14 independent Fiefs that paid loyalty to the Grand Emperor. each had their own culture and traditions. On November 8, 1577, after 3 failed coups, Empress Annelise III came to an agreement with the belligerents and signed the Constituion Act of 1577. Since then the nation has been known as The Imperial Republic of Goyanes. In 1798, the Iqiob State rose in the southern tip of the unclaimed lands of Lørden. Their leader, Mijer Lengst, wanted to annex the IRG, thus they went to war. After 6 years of fighting, the IRG returned victorious, and has an established military presence there ever since. That area still is an unclaimed zone, but regular military patrols have been operational there since 1804.
The industrial revolution started up around 1800, with steam power being the primary form of power. Around 1805 electricity was harnessed for use in the form of a extremely primitive battery. By 1835, the battery was invented in a much more practical, but still primitive format. Around 1880, the gasoline automobile was invented, a major revolution in transport history. By the year 2016, the car was already an advanced transportation system. In 1899, the first airplane flew, at Norberg Town, Kira, Goyanes. By the year 1930, commercial airlines were connecting Goyanes with the world, but at a very slow pace. In 1954, the first practical analog computer was developed, and by the year 2000, the digital computer was a staple in almost every home. By 2016, Goyanes had become an IT powerhouse, pruducing coputers on a huge scale. Goyanes is now at the forefront of regional trade, and has one of the highest GDP's in the world.

Here you will find information on the governance of Goyanes.

Goyanes is a parliamentary democracy with a monarchy pegged on to it. This system much resembles the current sytem in the United Kingdom. The legislative branch of government is comprised in a bicameral fashion. There is the House of Lords, which is the upper house, and the House of Commons, which is the lower house. All members of the legislature are elected officials. They share power and when laws are created in one house, they must be approved by the other house. Once approved, the law will go to the Grand Emperor, who has to give final approval to the law. The head of government is the Prime Minister, who is currently Jon Norberg, PM, MP for Naderfjord 1. The Speaker of the House of Commons is Anna Erdmann, SHC, MP for Baerstrent. The Speaker of the House of Lords is Anders Nergof, SHL, MHL for Nyhett. The judicial branch is called the Imperial Supreme Court. They are a high court that decides the fairness of laws and in extreme cases, does a full trial

There are 14 autonomous provinces in Goyanes. Each one of them has a unicameral legislature, called The Senate. They decide laws and such, and when a law is decided upon, the law is sent to the Premier's office who gives the final say in the law. The Premier is an elected official along with the Senate. Each province has a Duke/Duchess or Grand Duke/Duchess. This title is for representatives of the Imperial House to a provincial government. When they are a member of the royal family, they are given the title of Grand Duke/Duchess, when they are not a member of the royal family, they are called just Duke/Duchess. The judicial branch of a province is the Provincial Supreme Court. They are a high court that decides the fairness of laws and in extreme cases, does a full trial.

Here you will find information on Diplomatic Relations in Goyanes
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Goyanes strives to create peaceful relationships between nations in TNP. We can do this by the construction of embassies. The construction of embassies provides a physical reminder of negotiations between countries, but also serves a a beacon for foreign nationals in Goyanes and abroad.

Currently, as Goyanes is quite a newcomer to TNP, we have yet to construct embassies with other nations. Be assured though, we are making proposals with other nations and are in the process of starting diplomacy with other nations in our region.

If you would like to construct an embassy with us, please telegram my nation, Goyanes.

Here you will find information on transportation in Goyanes.
Transportation in Goyanes is quite a marvel. The country is crossed by a system of high speed railways, roads, and motorways. Goyanes also has many airports and seaports, making travel very easy to, from, and within our nation. We will go into further discussion in the spoilers below...

Goyanes has two main networks of railways. First, there is the high-speed system. This network goes through most of the major cities in goyanes, as well as provincial capitals. It is quick, affordable, safe, and reliable. The fleet is comprised completely of the E5 series of trainset, with a top speed of 320 kph. Trains have a 97% on time rate, and the track and equipment is maintained every day.

The second network is the low-speed network. This network visits all the major areas as well as the rural areas. This network carries freight trains and slow speed passenger trains.This network is limited to 120 kph.

Most major cities have a metro or subway system that connects most areas of the city, and if not there is usually a substantial bus network in that city to supplement that system.

Here you will find information about auto transport in Goyanes
Goyanes has an advance motorway and roads network, stretching in all directions. You may find a map of the main 'A' motorway system here.

The 'A' roads system is extremely well maintained, and visits all major cities and provincial capitals. The top speed on all 'A' roads is 200 kph, but the speed limits vary per area. The 'A' roads also have their spur roads, called 'M' Roads. They live up to all the same technical standards as the 'A' roads and are pretty much the same in every way.

Goyanes drives on the right. We also use the metric system. This helps in international commerce and trade, where metric units are primarily used.

Most roads though are 'P', 'C', or 'G' roads.
These are the roads that traverse the nation and connect to the main 'A' and 'M' roads. There are also lots of un-numbered roads.

Here you will find information on air transport
Goyanes has a number of international and domestic airports to serve you. The main airports are Goyanes City International and Naderfjord International Airports. They have the highest capacity and are not just travel hubs, but trade hubs for the region.

"by the year 1960, cellular phones, laptops, tablets, gaming consoles, and, and 4k displays were already invented and available to consumers. By the year 2000, Goyanes had colonized Mars, and was on the verge of inventing faster than light travel. By the year 2008, Goyaneans had already made contact with alien species, and by 2016, Goyanes would become one of the largest foreign trading centers in the world, and had become a hub for interplanetary travel and trade."

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Like with other elements of RP, I guess this is one portion I'll have to view as null-canon as it does not fit the broader picture in which RP scenarios play out.

Anyways... if there is one thing I would recommend is to try and stay within the realm of reason in terms of crafting your nations history and backstory. While many of us who have written out backstories change some elements in terms of when they were invented (ex. the automobile but a few years earlier than it happened in real life), we don't go so far in making claims that seem a little far fetched. With regards to the history you have... the reason I made the above comment about null-canon was primarily in regards to anything related to space. Traditionally those kind of stories are relegated to Future Tech RP scenarios and planned out in The Lounge by those who want to get involved and generally do not reflect on how a nation is role-played out in modern day / modern tech scenarios.

Other than that, everything looks good... I'm always around to help with crafting Factbooks on the NS site and can help with formatting and layouts as my own Factbook is extensive / exhaustive (as Syrixia and others can attest to).

What problems does Goyanes face? :)
Goyanes faces the constant threat of "annexists" from the unclaimed lands, and there is always a constant political feud on wether or not to bring back absolute monarchy.
