Pro tip: force the demon to read something else to assert dominance.
Ex: Bad Buzzfeed Articles, Poorly Written Fanfiction etc.

Hello everybody!

I have an unexpected announcement to make! I will have to leave NationStates for around a month, it has been interfering with school and tryouts. I have went on vacation mode so I won't CTE.

Have a nice day and Happy Ramadan to those who celebrate.

As in their downfalls or prominence? For downfall, about a year or two ago. But it really started when Minecraft dropped in prominence. For prominence, probably 2012-2015.

I'll be going to sleep now.

Around that time I was watching either some dark humor, National Alliance propaganda, and terrorist related videos.

April 20 is probably the worst day of the year honestly. It’s Hitlers birthday, columbine, Deepwater horizon oil spill, many other terrible events. How do we cope with such a day we get high.

THE IMPERIAL REALM OF GOTHGRAFF AND LILIUM:


Gothgraff and Lilium "(G&L)", Officially known as the Imperial Realm of Gothgraff and Lilium, also commonly referred too as just Gothilum is a Massive Despotic Absolute Monarch in East Osea. It is Bordered in the East by large swathes of uninhabited land and the Katoliilac Political Entity, in the South by the Beigorik and Utoci Political Entities, in the West by unincorporated territories and in the North by the Kascadiyc Ocean. Gothgraff and Lilium covers 3,350,450 sq. kilometers, making it the 2nd Largest country on Strangereal, with varied Geography from Marshlands and Boreal Forests to Aethereal Mountain Tops and Plains. It has an estimated population of 712,850,290 (2nd) and is composed of 33 Provinces.

Gothgraff and Lilium is a Powerful yet noninfluential nation in East Osea. Its size gives it the Military Capability and Prowess to play a large role in Regional Politics yet the Lasting Policy of Undisturbed-Forced Isolationism allows it to sit within its Walls. The Imperial Realm has a massive Domestic Industry with most, if not all, of the Nation's Industry being under the Control of the Absolutist Government which meddles in both Legal and Immoral Affairs across the State. Its involvement in daily life stretches from the Food that is placed on the table, where people work, and what can be bought in stores- with most non-directly controlled business working hand in hand with the Government.. While its expansive Aristocracy plays a secondary role under Anastasia III's Regime, acting as Puppets to carry out her will.

The Imperial Realm holds no intention of creating ties with the Rest of Strangereal, or even the Nation's closest to it. The Xenophobic stance on the outside world, considering all "Nations" as "Political Entities" with 0 Recognitions of Sovereignty. The Imperial Realm believes in Gothilum Supremacy, and that its destined to carry the torch that leads Strangereal, only under its domain. The large, resource-abundant, bastion of Gothilum Culture, language, peoples, and way of life holds an abnormal bond between the People and the state; with the Government willing to sacrifice its populace to come out on top. It would rather burn everything than to loose it to a Foreign Entity.

Gothgraff and Lilium is a nation of Unrestrained and unrestricted Totality, enforced by the Aristocratic Sheild which has kept Order Socially through the ages and the Military's Sword, striking down insurrection at the mere thought of a New Gothilum, Free of the Empress's Word. The Registrums of Order- in tow with the Many Imperial Ministries have kept the populace in check, keeping the working class as the lowest of lows and nothing more than tools of the state. With this centralization there is one home of the Government, where every decision, for every law, flowing out of the Massive Ostrogoth tower that towers above the Smog-filled Slums of Braga; where true Gothilum life is found. Through its Undisturbed Isolation the Imperial Realm has created its own lavish art, Experimental and Volatile Sciences, Arcane Magic, Dark Technology, and Way of Life.

The Imperial Realm is a bleak state, filled with Disturbing Arcane Magic, Instances, and unnatural creations that are locked within the borders of Gothgraff and Lilium. Black Forests that cause you lose your sense of Direction, Living Skeletons, Humongous Gothic Castles with Intricate designs with demeaning structure, Pagan Worship, disturbing fauna where Flowers grow from the Hollowed Ribs of the Dead, a culture of Darkness, Brutality, Exaltedness and Aristocracy. Ruled by the Most Glorious of Empresses, the Arcane and Mysterious, Anastasia Ostrogoth III.


ETYMOLOGY

Gothgraff and Lilium's name is a comboination of Two Ancient Empires that united over 1400 Years ago, Gothgraffium and Lilium-Navona. Gothgraff's name comes from the Gothic peoples that emerged from the Gothiyc Moutains in Southern Gothgraff near the Great Lakes, over two thousand years ago the Gothic Peoples were united under the Kingdom of Gothgraff, where the Imperial Realm's Capital of Braga is also located. Lilium comes from the Kingdom of Lilium-Navona, named after a commonly found lily in the region, who united the Farming Kingdoms of the East under one banner. The Two Kingdoms would merge under one throne in IY1, with a bond that is said to be unbreakable.

The common way to refer to someone from Gothgraff and Lilium is 'Gothilum'


GEOGRAPHY

Gothgraff and Lilium is a large nation on East Osea, and is the second largest nation on Strangereal and largest on North Osea at 3,350,450 sq. kilometers. The country is distinctly split into two sections, the Gothgraffian-West and the Lilium-East. The West is approximately 1,941,775 sq. KMs, the East being about 1,146,750 sq. KMs and the rest of the Land being split between the Imperial Realm's 13 Islands. (261,925 sq. KM). The Imperial Realm stretches from just below the 15th Parallel to the 43rd. Gothgraff and Lilium sits between the Iron Straits to its Northwest and the Kascadiyc Ocean to its North and East.

The enormous size of the Imperial Realm and the Remoteness from the Ocean has formed a dominant humid continent climate. The climate is prevalent in almost all parts of the country except the Northern Island of Darvanyc and the Harsh mountains of the Gothgraffian South. The Mountains in the south obstruct the flow of Warm Air that comes in from the Bay of Antiyard and traps the Colder Air of the Kascadiyc Ocean, making the region distinctly colder than some places along its latitudes. However the East has a more temperate climate, where natural fauna and a large agricultural plain persists. With severe winters, the inner regions of the country are known to drop to around -30 degrees Celsius. The areas near the coast and on the Southern Island Chain have more moderate winters, with the whole country having two real seasons, Summer and Winter, with Spring and Autumn acting as interim seasons. The Coldest month is normally January and Warmest is July.

From north to south, the country is clad sequentially in Taiga, Cold Boreal Forests, Warm Boreal, Temperate Forests, Plains, Warm Borael, Low Mountains, High Mountains, Tall Peaks, and a pocket of Temperate Forests at the Far-Southern Border. the Oceanside Climate and Biome can be found along the Great Lakes Coast and all Oceanside lands in and East of the Great Bay. A solid amount of the Imperial Realm's territory is forested, however recent movement inland with expanded Industrialism threatens the Great Wooded Areas of the country. Gothgraff and Lilium has a large array of Biodiversity that can be found in all corners of the Imperial Realm, with many Areas still being untouched to a large extent. The Hebridean Goat, the National Animal of the Imperial Realm, can exclusively be found in G&L. As well as a variety of Arcane Animals and fauna that are rare to be found, yet are still native to the Imperial Realm alone.


DEMOGRAPHICS AND POPULATION

The Imperial Realm is comprised of 99.5% Gothilum peoples with a very small percentage of outside peoples living within the Empire- both due to the deployment of the "AARR" and the Xenophobia and racism that outsiders face. In total, the Imperial Realm is comprised of 712.85 Million men and women. The Imperial Realm has the 2nd Largest Population on Strangereal, with the 1st Largest on the Continent of North Osea. With the maintaining of Gothilum Isolation predating the actual formation of the Imperial Realm the nation has its own distinct people. The Gothilum people are an ethnic group only native to the Imperial Realm with basically none living outside the reach of the Imperial Realm. They are a people that are characteristically tall, having one of the highest ranks in terms of national height, They more than often have black hair and dark eyes, both synonymous with the Gothilum Image. However its not that uncommon to find people with stuff like Blonde Hair or Light eyes. Along distinct feature of the people are their very pale skin, highlighted by their dark hair. Over the years the Döthmarist traditions have held strong and become a part of the nation and peoples- being insperable with the thought of Gothilums and their state. A large percentage of the Gothilum population is Döthmarist, with 91% considering themselves religious as of the IY1399 Census. Gothgraff and Lilium has a relatively young population average, valuing tradition, the state, and a heavy superiority complex above all other nations.

Gothgraff and Lilium has an Average lifespan of 61 Years old, one of the shorter ones in the World, as well as a Decreasing Fertility Rate due to external factors like the continued pollution of the nation.


GOVERNMENT

Gothgraff and Lilium is a de-jure Absolute Monarchy, with the entire country being molded by the words of the Empress, with the Populace under the control of the massive Aristocratic Establishment, with the Humungous military on its side. The Imperial Realm's Ideology and rulership has largely stood against the test of time, however has shifted with the Military gaining and losing administrative power over the past thousand years. This interaction between the Throne and the Military has kept the Military in check and aligned with the Throne. The Empress holds total power within the Imperial Realm and may change the law to her own liking, however employs a large collection of Ministries and special "Registrums" to maintain the country and its well-being. However the Empress and her Cabinet gives local leaders a large amount of autonomy for Provinces, seeing that local rule in some aspects is crucial to maintain Peace, however its limited to Taxes, non-integral local laws and stuff of the sorts. Gothilum Imperial-Despotism is the reigning ideology within Gothgraff and Lilium, with a very oppressive and looming government that restricts a large number of things from leaving the country to transgressions against the Aristrocracy and the State. Recent Advancements of Technology like Telegraphs have given way to a Second Wave of "Gothilum Totality" as the state doubles down on its morals and laws.

Gothgraff and Lilium has no true Legislative Bodies or administration, instead having the three Registrums which are unique to the Imperial Realm. These separate organizations, the Registrum of Peace, Registrum of Order, and Registrum of Unity, each have their own internal senate that pass laws pertaining to the maintaining of the Gothilum State, working in unison with the countless ministries. These Registrums have an almost-infinite amount of funds and reach given to them by the Imperial Government in order to keep Gothilum in one peice, from stuff like what food is sold in stores to the maintaining of Gothilum Isolationism, Public image of the Empress and the state, and smashing down insurrection.


MILITARY

The Imperial Gothilum Armed Forces, commonly referred too as the IGAF, are the military forces of Gothgraff and Lilium. It is divided into the Army, Navy, Air Corps, Black Forces and the Empress's Guard with a handful of other Independent arms of service for specialized purposes. The Five Imperial Commanders of the Branches hold total power in their own stature. The Imperial Gothilum Armed Forces acts as the protector of Gothilum Lands, Peoples, and interests in all corners of the Imperial Realm and in the surrounding Air-and-Sea space.The Imperial Gothilum Armed Forces are one the of the largest military forces in Strangereal. As of IY1409, the military was comprised of over 2.431 million active duty personnel stationed around the Imperial Realm; additionally, there are over 18.953 million reservists that are ready for activation at the mere word of the State. As per the Nation's policies, in order to secure the future of the Imperial Realm, it is mandatory for all male citizens aged 17-25 to be drafted for at least two years of service in the armed forces.

The Imperial Gothilum Armed Forces are the 2nd Largest Armed Forces on Strangereal, 2nd in Spending and is unmatched in its local region.

In recent years, the Imperial Gothilum Armed Forces has seen Modernization and rejuvenation after the firing of the AARR and the subjugation of new lands, allowing for an even greater populace to be brought under the wings of the High Command. With new weapons being funneled in from Military Research Sites and Programs, a new era has been ushered in of Deadlier weapons with greater results, with new weapons being able to rip the flesh off a man with gas or Heavy Artillery that can rip city blocks apart. The Sky is now under the domain of the recently founded Air-Corp, with Planes becoming more and more advanced and prepared for combat.


ECONOMY

The Imperial Realm practices the Policy of Autarky or Self-Sufficiency due to its Heavy Isolationist Policy, Importing and exporting virtually nothing- yet has a massive Domestic market. Gothgraff and Lilium's vast geography is an important factor in its economic activity; as well as the massive workforce at its disposal. With Gothilum having an expansive range of Strangereal's Natural Resources inland and its placement along the Kascadiyc Ocean which allows local off-shore interests. Gothgraff and Lilium has access to a Large Fishing Industry due to its extensive Coastline, as well as a massive agriculture industry, with a decent portion of its rural community being farmers and enough land to provide such. Along with Mineral-oriented stuffs like Coal, Iron, Gold, Platinum, Uranium, Copper, and Precious Gems. Different Types of Fertilizers, Vehicle Parts, Medicines, Technology, and other industries also existing. Gothgraff and Lilium also has a large Armament-producing Industry that produces top-of-the-line Military tech. Biplanes, Zeppelins, Dreadnaughts, Gas, Automatic Weapons, Tanks and more.

Gothgraff and Lilium has Loose Economic Restrictions and Policies, with the State having its hand in most Economic Markets it has little holding it back from having bottom quality conditions, where people work long hours with little pay- if sometimes any. Workdays can stretch anywhere from 14 to 18 Hours of a day in the Toxic-smog of Metal Producing Factories.

However, with the Imperial Government's lax policies on Economic Production and the Protection of the Worker and the environment, it has taken a toll. Pollution in the larger cities, such as the Capital of Braga is through the rough and is the cause of many health problems along with the horrid conditions of the factories. Forests are continuously cut down or burnt in the name of Economical profit and the gaining of wealth. Furthermore, the policies of the Imperial Gothilum Government has allowed a humongous wealth divide to form between the Insanely rich Aristocracy and the common man.
