I just realized I should probably post my nation's information here, since I've been roleplaying it in the Sci-fi section for a while now. The Vita Aedes System
I actually have been playing it in Nationstates as a full roleplay country already, so I have written up a detailed wiki-style factbook entry with all of this info there. It contains everything you might want to know about my country including government, history, geography (detailed maps), and more. Check it out below.
In summary, Ardreas has been a nation for almost 700 years, and is approximately equivalent to mid 21st century projections of the USA in technological development. My adventure with Zeganas, Nubpryton, and Invictus in the sci-fi section is a very "near future" storyline. In fact, it's only borderline sci-fi because so many of the advances in place are achievable in real life within our lifetimes (except for Nubpryton who has warp drive).
