Minoa

Minoa is a transcontinental country between Europe and Asia. In NationStates, Minoa is the founder of the region of Hinduism. Founded on 25th March 2025, the country's government is a elective monarchy with a bicameral parliamentary system. It ranks high in international rankings for human rights and social justice despite a poor historic record before the present country existed, but it struggles to deal with human trafficking and racial tensions that date back to the 19th century.

There is controversy over whether Minoa is a republic or a constitutional monarchy: the role of the Empress of Minoa is generally lifelong until death or retirement, but the role is directly elected by voters instead of handed down to the Empress's children. Some political theorists consider Minoa's government to be a hybrid.

Minoa in gameplay

Minoa was not available for registration when Charlotte Ryberg first roleplayed the country, but became a nation on its own on 6th October 2011, as a result of the Nation name release programme. Minoa never uses in-game statistics because the player regards the in-game population to be unrealistic for the size of the country.
