Kerbal Countries (Post Your Own In The Comments)

[Nfeld The Rocketeer]

My Country That I picked was The United States Of Kerbin.

Geography

The USK Is Situated on the Continent Kafrica, near the Equator. It is about 150 km wide, and extends all the way to up to where the Continent Begins. It has an archipelago near it's SouthEast coast. Split thru the middle of the country is the C7 Mountain Range, which is where The Highest point in the USK makes it's home, AKA The Harvester Mountain where legend has it that the first rocket was launched from making an unmanned sub-orbital flight. The Climate is realitivaly warm. It's position near the equator makes it perfect for space flights.

History

The USK was originally a colony state controlled by the United Kerbal Kingdom. It gained it's independence during the Revolutionary War Of 1776 where Kerbals in the colony state were outraged by the UKK's Government, taking resources from the colonists, making stuff in the UKK from the resources, then Selling the Products to the colonists for high prices. The young nation then expanded itself to the far west coast. But as all was well States from the west succeeded from the USK sparking a Civil War, in which PresidentKaberaham Lincoln passed the Emancipation Prclaimation, abolishing slavery. The East States won the war, but the President was assinated by a Western Rebel in Kord Theater. What followed was a huge intake of Immigrents from other countrys. Then the world was consumed by war. World War One raveged the world, and after the war the The Spainish Klu killed 3% of the worlds Population. After The Pandemic The Stock Markets crashed, and it seemed that world was doomed. But a new President, Franklin K. Roosivelt stepped into office and helped the nation get back on it's feet. But evil in the world persisted and a new war, World War K, Saw the Axis Powers consisting of The Kazis, Kapenisse and other countrys fighting against the Allied Powers consisting of The USK, The UKK, And The Koviet Union. The war brought out rocket scientist Werhner Von Kerman, working for The Kazis, making the worlds first missiles the K2. The Kazi Rocket Program was not effective enough and the Allies won once again. Then The USK had a great idea. Recruit the Kazi Rocket Scientists to work in a Space Program. And thus, in 1958, The Kerbal Space Program was Formed. Although the KSP was losing in the space race against the Koviet Union, who had the first Man-Made Object In space and the First Kerbal in space, the KSP continued to aspire to put the first Kerbal On The Mun. But as the space race was heating up, so was the fight to stop the spread of Kommunism. A war was started in Vietkam over the spread of Kommunism, and the USK tryed to help the Nation of South Vietkam Beat The Kommunist Nation Of North Vietkam. The Kerbmerican public hated the war because Kerbals were being drafted in to the Army, Being Sent to Vietkam, and being Injured or even Killed. But in the summer of 1969, the world took it's eyes off of the war, and turned to the Mun, as KSP landed a Kerbal On The Mun, Jebidaih Kerman become first kerbal to walk on the Mun. The world watched in awe as he spoke after getting off of the ladder "That's one tiny step for a kerbal, one Giant Leap for Kerbal Kind." 5 More Times Kerbals landed on the Mun leaving behind footsteps, and storys of one epic adventure. Rocket Scientist Ej_Sa proposed the idea of a reusable rocket design called The Baikal Project. The Craft could fly into space like a rocket, and land on a runway like plane. The Project continued for 30 years before ending. It made numerous satellite deployals, was the key factor in building The Kerbonational Space Station. A new Reuseable design called Project Collins, based off of Baikal, is now in the process of being built.

Well I'm done, I've written to much. I hope you enjoyed!

Mine is simply called the Kerban Empire. The Kerbals united under a single flag when global snack reserves began to run low. So in order to save Kerbin from it's snack crisis, the Kerbal Space Program was formed. Now the Kerbals reach for the stars, in search of delicious peanuty snacks.

Whenever snacks run out, the universe strangely resets causing previous crafts to be incompatible and buildings like the VAB to mysteriously change textures. Kerbal physicists are looking into this phenomenon and dubbed it the Phase Alignment & Temporal Cutoff Hour, or PATCH for short. It's hoped that eventually they may find a solution for this by researching this in their KADRON collider, but this research isn't scheduled until the next PATCH event.

Oh look, a marshmallow!

One people under Kerbol!

The provinces engage in friendly competition in sports, education, architecture, art ... but all work together for the common goal: To advance Kerbalkind socially and technologically, to send Kerbals where no Kerbal has gone before and build a spacefaring civilization to stand the test of time!

If anyone wants to roleplay there nation I know a roleplay called kerbal space program roleplay its super fun to play.

At first I subscribed to the whole "one world! Kerbals united!!" philisophy. Then the "Recovered Munar Footage" video happened.... The way the two green dudes bicker and shove, while a bit childish, made me think Kerbals tribalize and fight just like we do.

Regardless, when I started conducting launches from KSC2 I felt I needed a second flag and a second country. (Because if it was one nation they'd just launch from the most efficient spot - KSC.) Thus were born the FSK, the CCHR, and the ISC.

The "Free States of Kerbin" (formerly the "Free States of Central Kerbin") comprise most of the continent KSC is on, maybe with a few other member states elsewhere on the globe. The unoriginally-named "Kerbal Space Agency" administers their launch and extra-kerbin operations. (KSA)

The "Commonwealth of Central Highland Republics" is a bit diverse and borderless, but more-or-less includes the continent KSC2 is on. (With lots of mountains and whatnot.) Operations are administered by the "Ministry of Space Administration." (MinSpa, or MSA)

The "Independent Southern Coalition" is an ESA/EU-like group of states across the ocean east-southeast of KSC, with an as-of-yet unselected launch site somewhere around 10°S. The "Office Of Orbital Operations" (O4) runs their space program.

Oh, and the "Monastic Order of Cydonia" is on/near what we now call K2. I guess they might be a bit like the Vatican City... surrounded entirely by the FSK. Their only space program is the "Athena Project," which involves moving the whole lot of them to Duna. That'll mostly be done from KSC.

None of these were really "needed," but they help me track which launch came from where. I don't really have time or care to make any detailed backgrounds beyond that. I'd post the flags, too, but only the FSK flag is online at the moment (and is basically my forum avatar in black and white).

One of my kerbal nations is called The.Free.Island.Nation.Of.The.Kerbals or TFINOTK for short. Which is on that island chain just of the coast of KSC with our capital island being the island with the island strip. We focus on science mostly trying to stay out of wars our only one being our independence war in 1645 after 50 years of colonization and taxation. After that we strived to make bases on every celestial body.

My Kerbin Nation already suffers from turmoil.

In the Beginning

UshraKerbal survived years of political strife as it's own leadership became dummer and dummer in a failed attempt at democracy. Finally collapsing after voting a leadership of actors, sports celebraties and Tweens, UshraKerbal looked to be finished and doomed to be swallowed up.

A new Renaissance saved the nation as a Technocracy stepped into the vacuum. Able to deliver food stuffs, quickly rebuild infrastructure, and move the nation forward, they swept aside the old and replaced them. The launch of a Mun orbiting Kerbal cemented their power in the hearts of the people. Now firmly in the lead of it's people sweeping changes were made to the electoral process. Education became mandatory and heavily enforced. All members of the government were required before candidacy to prove knowledge and skills in nation leadership and skills in the job they are seeking. want to be in UKEMA (UshraKerbal Emergency Management Agency) you have to have education in emergency response and field experience. You Ciriculum Vitae in that area of experience will be posted right along you name and compared to the CV's of other candidates. As a result the leadership pushes forward a scientific progress agenda well suited to the resource heavy Kerbin based nation.

Flaws became apparent after a couple of generations when simplistic problem solving began to suffer. Very educated populations looking for the best highest tech solution to problems, when sometimes the easiest answer is to just dig a hole.

These problems became even bigger as Ushrakerbal reached into space and started to colonize. The new working class, made up of Engineers and workers, faced an ever growing problem in a leadership of thinkers that spent so much time trying to invent new better things without building anything. With almost heretical maneuvering they succeeded in getting a mission to Duna designed, tested and built in a time scale that denied the technocracy to stop it's launch.

In the span of two years the engineers had managed to get a permanent settlement started. 10 years saw a survivable basis and the first Dunarian births. 10 more years marked the 3 year anniversary of the last resupply mission from ushraKerbal. Duna was populated, self suffcient and growing without help from the home world. The problems were already seeded but this marked the full turning point.

The Duna colony, led and populated by the engineer contingent started to call for indepence. Starting with hollow threats of cutting off supply, and following with bribery the home world tried to keep the Duna group under control. Promises of representation in the homeworld government, increased luxury good transport, funding for increased square footage of living space. All of it with the strings of continued off world control.

The Dunarian collective declared independence with the decidedly snarky act of establishing their own orbiting station of Kerbin called 'Escape Route'. Now there is an openly hostile peace between the two worlds. immigration in both directions is rampant tho. With its huge eduational resources, UshraKerbal takes in students from all over Kerbin and the Collective, while Duna attracts Ushrans looking to build outside of the safety of the Kerbin Atmosphere.

Good luck with your own colonies... we have our own problems with ours
