Apokytã

Apokytã, officially the Republic of Apokytã is a sovereign nation state in Tiandi. It is bordered by YADDAYADDA. Within its sixteen states it has an estimated population of 69,784,918, with almost a third of this number located in the capital city of Táva and its surrounding metropolitan area. The capital city of Táva is the only city in the nation, a megacity built in the middle of a lake. The districts in the middle are all the important government bits and are only accessible by two highly defended roads, which can be blown at any moment to defend the leadership of the regime. There is a large city around the edge of the lake, with highly overpopulated slums and the associated high amounts of crime and gangs. This is where most of the nation's developed economic infrastructure is located and is the only area where foreign involvement in the economy can be seen. The rest of the nation is highly undeveloped and split into small communes as part of the land distribution programs. The vast majority of the population work on collective farms or in other primary industries like mining or even in factories, these assets are spread all over the nation. Apokyta is self-sufficient in these areas, allowing for state welfare to maintain everyone at a mediocre living quality. Apokyta does not export much, mainly coal and drugs through illegal syndicates that are involved with the ruling Guasu front. Infrastructure is very rare, with roads often made of dirt apart from those deemed to be essential to the national economy.

The ruling party is the Guasu front, who rule the nation with an iron fist and have done so since independence. Their ideology is broadly third positionist, with communalist economics and state-planned economy while also involving massive amounts of nationalism and traditionalism. There is no freedom of the media or speech, with all mass media run by the government. Due to the nature of the isolated collectives and low infrastructure, TV is rare and the radio is used most to spread government propaganda. All local government is run by the party, and it is renowned for its corruption. On most roads and in important areas there are frequent road blocks by APRAF forces to make sure that people do not go where they aren't supposed to. This makes the nation very hard for tourists. The whole population is mandated to serve military time, which means that there are large public works programmes done with quasi-slave labour. There is an enormous manpower military, which is crippled by low technology and other stuff like that. The national army is the Apokytan People's Revolutionary Armed Forces, which is fervently loyal to the central party. It has a weak air force centred around outdated aircraft and minute navy centered around smaller missile boats. The army's doctrine is centred around guerilla war against a stronger nation and counter-insurgency operations due to the ongoing insurgency by democratic and minority ethnic forces against the regime. To this end, they have large amounts of hidden anti-aircraft installations and other setups ready to defeat foreign forces.

The nation is almost entirely covered by thick rainforest, with mountains in the south and west. There are plains in the north, which are heavily farmed in addition to the farming in jungle areas. Several rivers run throughout the nation, with the largest being the Temaya river which runs from the sea all the way to the capital city. These rivers are extensively dammed for hydroelectricity, which is a priority in the national modernisation plan that the government is working on in order to strengthen Apokyta's economy and improve living conditions. The mountains are heavily mined due to their rich coal deposits and other valuable resources.

Ethnically the Guarani are the majority group, composing 79% of the population. The remainder are Nahuatl, Piraha, Quechua and other similar groups. There was a significant sinju population, though they were killed off after the revolution in one of the more horrific genocides in recent memory. Many other ethnic minorities were also targeted by the purges, resulting in ethnic rebels in many minority areas.
