Nation Name:  The Interplanetary Refined Gentleman (and Woman)'s Warfare-Oriented Pretentious Social Group (ISWG)

Colour: The ever-so stylish Blue.

Starting Province: M2, Henceforth to be known as Nova Hampshire.

Description:  The ISWG began as a curious gathering of  tinkerers and lunatics who had but one thing in common:  a steadfast devotion to a work of writing known as 'The Gentleman's Code'.  In it, a certain way of life is outlined:  one based around righteousness, politeness, and stovepipe hats.  Unfortunately, sanity is not required to be a true Gentleman, and exposure to large amounts of mercury after a robotics demenstration gone wrong turned all members mad.  Somehow, through a combination of blind luck, crazed genius, and several extremely rich aunts who were kind enough to donate funds, this group managed to grow and construct a battered, cobbled-together Cruiser.

 With it, they journeyed far, before eventually coming to rest on Venus after a devastating crash landing.  Somehow, however, they survived, and discovered great amounts of an extremely rare carbon-based ore at their crash site- the selling of which allowed them to obtain the supplies needed to ensure their survival.  Now, after decades of expansion, they have become a colony in and of themselves;  living inbetween each other's questionably sane endeveaours, they strive to create new and better constructs.  Recently, they have gained a communal interest:  the desire to create a planetary vessel, preferably out of their own planet.  To do that, however, they will require resources...  Armed with hordes of automata, relatively stylish machinery, and their steadfast resolve to their code of honour, they greet the rest of the Solar System and invite them to a cup of tea!
Their symbol is a broken cog in front of a rising sun, symbolising the Gentleman's code.  Their flag is their symbol on a blue background.  Their Military uniform uses blue as a base colour.  The same colour is used on all of their ships and mechanoids.

Ability: Captain

Description: General Tottington.  Respected by all. Hailed by many to be one of the greatest Gentlemen in history. He is exceptionally jovial, calm, polite and competent, but above all, he is completely and utterly insane. 
One cannot, however, underestimate his sense of honour.  Tottington will never stoop to such low levels as Firing upon a helpless or retreating Foe, nor will he ever engage in such underhanded tactics as deceit and trickery, never mind betrayal.  He commands the HMS Gloria, the refurbished original settler ship and prize of the Group, with exquisite poise and accuracy, treating battle as a one would a formal dance.  He values his ship greatly for its history, and will go to extreme measures to save those in need.  He greatly enjoys camomile tea and potentially dangerous tinkering, which he takes to with refined, joyful interest.  His favourite possesions are his stovepipe hat and matching goggles, and his limited edition copy of the Gentleman's Code.
