Gorgos

Gorgos , commonly called a City State, is a Democratic Individualist nation in the south of the main continent, bordering a coastline with many natural harbors. It is bordered on west by Chern Russia and by Dys on the east side. Gorgos covers the size of 42.812 Km2 and has a population of roughly 7 million. The nation consists of 5 districts, each of which have organised urban areas and nature reserves. None of the land is suitable for effective argiculture.

Etymology
Gorgos has been named by the daughter of the King Sparta, a long gone monarch in the history of the state. The monarch treated her daughter badly and did not take responsibilty for his actions, until he was given the light of intelligence. He attempted to earn back the heart of his daughter by constructing a beautiful city and naming it after his daughter. The city state of Gorgos was thus born. However, the capital name was chanced, due to the economic advances of privately owned companies.

The standard way to refer to a citizen of nation is as a "Gorgossan". However, due to the recent developments, a popular nickname would be Corporates

History
As explained in the Etymology, the City State has not always been ruled by a democracy filled with Corparates. Before the outbreak of nuclear disaster, the nation was a cultural hub of monuments, paintings, sculptures and architecture. None of it rivaling other nations' culture advances, but the population was contempt. The modern Era kicked in, and the population had to go through a thrilling period of Nuclear War. The scorging of the earth was immense, and nuclear fallout was everywhere. However, the city state of Gorgos survived nuclear fallout. Why? Gorgos was low in natural resources, and the GDP of the population was low. The country was in slight poverty and was not competing with any other nations. This caused the state to vanish in the political landscape and avoid direct nuclear attacks. The land around the state was affected though, and this still haunts the local biodiversity. Near tectonic plate activity bothering the civilization beyound the war into exhaustion multiple times, due to tsunami's and floodings. The Gorgons however, used the geography to fight against the water. The cliffs supported buildings, and the people could safely survive from future floodings. As the nation grew, the population had increasing wealth. Poverty was not nearly gone, but some individuals were thriving in the highly competitive small society. These highly entrepeneurial individuals lead a property group that is now the owner of the capital city, after a multitude of brand renaming ending onto Capital Financial Group. Thus, the capital renamed. The corporation formed the new government, but to keep democracy in place, the at the time autocratic rule set up numerous laws that created the norms and values that exist today. The feeling of personal investment and public responsibility. The denounciation of 'fake news' and lies spread by other harmful individuals. The state now reformed, the democracy ensured that the meritocracy stayed in power, despite the democratic common law.

The government now containing mostly of corperations, it was thought that the system would collapse in mass poverty, the corporates exploiting any individuals. However, the opposite was true. The meritocracy realised that people are best exploited by investing in them with education and sociology. The population becoming smarter and more competent, the productivity levels of the population rised tremendously, forming the nation of Gorgos of today. Despite the a Democratic Corporate Board being in power, the population has seen themselves rise from Modern poverty, to Post-Modern Riches.

The population also had a great interest in efficiency and no interest in war. War was the cause of the great Nuclear disasters, and thus the population wanted none of it, despite not having anything to do with it. The investments in efficiency soon made them realise that the use of electricity and computing, along with artificial intelligence would be the pillars of efficient society and population control and management.

Thus the Corporations invested their wealth heavily in these technologies. Appliances became cheaper and standard, more and more people could afford a vehicle, and a self driving sharing economy had been establsihed by the help of carefully constrainted and designed artificial intelligence and civil computer sciences.

The developments in these technologies allowed the population to develop new monuments, focussed on the Modern and Post Modern era, to revive the beauty that was once destroyed. Buildings inspired by famous Post-Modern architects and design. Shaping the nation in it's current state. But, the name, the flag, and the history, remains deeply buried in the populus.

Geography
The Geography is extremely dominated by man-made inftrastructure and buildings. There are very little places left where the populus can view nature. The best bet would be to visit Oceanside park, where there are some limited reserves of crabs and lobster. The sky is dominated by highrise buildings and offices, the noise pollution of planes, trains and vehicles also dominating the landscape. The state has created silent areas, but those are only accessible to the local populus, or verified tourists.

Climate
Around the urban areas, the nature has been tamed and despite the limited biodiversity quite green, however, when visiting beyond the urban areas it's likely that the environment is not as pretty as is projected. Oftenly the government shields the view to fallout areas with walling and fake windows. These windows being LED screens displaying something different than reality. All too keep the tourists from seeing the ugly parts of the state. These fake view walls are also often found around industrial areas and mining facilities.

Government
The Government is ruled by a court of Corporate Financial Officers (CFO's), Corporate Civilian Officers (CCO's), Corportate Data Officers (CDO's) and Corportate Social Officers (CSO's) The head of state being the Minister President Chief Executive Officer (CEO). These officers work in the Corporate Collective Government. The responsiblities of the officers varies to their officer titles. The officers report to the MP CEO. Using rational descision making the officers propose actions plans. The MP CEO in collaboration with the other Officers then approve of proposals. Individualism and equality in opportunity are the main core values of the Corporate Collective Government.

Foreign Relations
To be determined*

Economy
Individualism and equality in opportunity are the main core values of the Corporate Collective Government and so the economy focusses on these core values as well. This is done using 'Individual investments'. The Government believes that every person that is born is worth investing in, with exception to individuals with an IQ of under 86. This was determined by the CDO's. The CSO's have organized a population centre to care for the population that shows that their IQ is under 86 and is given a life basically for free. However, the life is simple and without any excessive luxury like travel and feeling of responsibility. They are being distracted with media throughout their lifetimes, causing them to not miss anything, but not being able to participate. The population that is worth investing in is schooled heavily and will be put in place of the future society. The government carefully censors the interests of their population, using media and data to make sure the future generations fill the vacancies of the future. This system has received criticism, but due to the fact based rule, those 'opnions' are discarded as soon as the proposals hit the Corporate Collective Government, concluding it is harmful for the greater good of the state. Gorgos has little natural resources and lacks of any fossil fuels. This has complicated use of foreign vehicles and is highly expensive. The natural resources of gold copper and lithium has allowed them to create technologies making sure their productivity is solely electric. Fossil fuels thereby are not used. However, this has important backlashes that the country had only recently recognised. The use of military equipment relying on fossil fuels, which at this moment is the majority, prevents Gorgos from maintaining a military force. The state efficiently makes use of their resources as most resources are put into a circular recycle and resource loop structure. That way, the littles amount of resources are wasted. Gorgos does make a lot of state income from the investments in Civil Computer Sciences. The populus is highly digitally literate, and thus make use of the world wide web intensily. The populus has become adept in the use of these technologies, and thus the tech companies generate much income on advertisement and other design media, causing their GDP to skyrocket after these technological advancements.

Infrastructure
The infrastructure of Gorgos has advanced and constructed for public and shared economy use. The population relies solely on the use of the shared public assets. The populus is requested to plan their journeys and the fleet is constantly adjusted in real time to ensure minimal crowd jamming. The public transportation systems are reliant of electricity and do not use fossil fuels. Tourists are allowed to use this system, but pay a small tourism fee depending on the season. The Database makes these rates based on supply of tourism. If it's high season, the price of transportation can go up, due to increased pressure on the infrastructure of the state.
