Before we start, make sure that the heads of state and government are either the ones that are from the present(if the nation survived), or the last ones the nation had.
Nation: The Kingdom of Otonushe/Otonushe Jingdai'to
Species: Velpus
Government: Constitutional Monarchy
Head of State: King Ignarius IV(at war, he is Warlord Ignarius IV)
Head of Government: Chancellor Tameshi Taisun
Legislative Body: Royal Senate/Seiti Fanti'to
Capital: Alteria
History: After the collapse of the human empire, various Warlords battled each other on what is now Otonushe. The Velpus, a fox-like species, were in the area, and many of the Warlords were Velpus. In fact, the only non-Velpus Warlord was a former human governor of the human empire.
The Velpus are not an unified culture. They are many, like humans were. The Otonushe were one of the many. They have their own language, culture, and even writing script, which might have been partly based on ancient human ones(OOC: Latin and others).

Writing system of the Otonushe
They were finally united by the Legendary Warlords War, in which a warlord named Warlord Watuse Yainigicha conquered other Lordships. After the war, he took a name inspired by what was known of an archaic legendary human language(OOC: Latin), which was Ignarius I.
Until the unification of the Ryccians, the Kingdom of Otonushe was in constant war with its stellar neighbors, the Empire of Asali and the Lordship of Mu'uan. It had other wars with other nations, but not as frequent. It was also at war with the Last Warriors, a rebel group made out of humans who wished to restore the human empire.
At its height, Otonushe was a superpower in the Ryccian homeland. It managed to make several nations into vassal states. However, this power declined after 150 years of being a superpower, when King Akura X decided to relinquish power and to start a peaceful era for Otonushe. One without wars. This was 100 years before Ryccian unification.
It eventually fell to the United Ryccia Republic in 3 BURR(Before the United Ryccia Republic). Nevertheless, its legacy continues on in the areas it dominated, and Otonushe language and culture still live today.
Nation: Empire of Asali/Shanato Asali
Species: Metori
Government: Absolute Monarchy
Head of State: Emperor Vatanga III
Head of Government: Emperor Vatanga III
Legislative Body: Imperial Court/Eosun Fargoti
Capital: Andayia
History: After the fall of the human empire, a faction in the area now known as Asali started to gain power.
The Asali Clan, in the predominantly Metori region, defeated other clans in the Clan Wars, in which the Asali defeated other clans. They even managed to defeat a clan bigger and more powerful than them.
After its victory, the Asali clan established an Empire, which was focused on military strength. But, surprisingly, they let freedom of speech and freedom of the press exist. Even criticizing the Royal Family was legal.
Why was this?
Well, the rulers of Asali, the Asali Royal Family, did not believe in absolute power for their own benefit. Rather, they believed in absolute power for their people's benefit. If the people were unhappy, an iron, but gentle hand could fix any matter, or so they tought. However, they also believed that Asali must dominate all they could encounter.
This military power went on to increase in influence and power. This Empire had wars with the Kingdom of Otonushe, the Republic of Flowerfield, the Lordship of Mu'uan, the Prinicipality of Shuben, the Federation of Kis'ure, among many others. Imperialist in nature, it picked fights all the time, and it became a superpower before and after Otonushe's political height. At one time, it was the largest nation in the area, even if you combined all other nations in the region. It was a major fighter against the Last Warriors, and even allied with the Republic of Flowerfield and other nations until the 15 BURR, when it was destroyed.
This empire almost died at 2 BURR, but it managed to survive until today. However, it is now a shadow of its former self, controlling just one planet and its moons in a star system dominated by the URR. The Andayia Concord was the cause of this. Now, Asali and the URR are allies, and Asali needs the URR to survive. The Andayia Concord also de-militarized Asali, with URR troops protecting the planet.
Nation: Republic of Flowerfield
Species: Humans, Velpus
Government: Republic
Head of State: President Tyler McHaron
Head of Government: Chancellor Utan Velano
Legislative Body: Great Congress of Flowerfield
Capital: Politema
History: After the fall of the human empire, this faction gained power in its area. It was the only nation that humans were the majority, along with "humanized" Velpus.
It was a democracy, one of the few in the region without a monarch. It was very pacifist, only fighting wars when it was attacked by its power-hungry neighbors, or when being an imperialist was necessary.
Its main focus was industry. However, they also emphasized agriculture in so-called "Special Agricultural Provinces", made to be bread baskets for the Republic, while the rest were industrial regions, with industrial economies.
Trading links with other nations, and its majorly neutral stance, made Flowerfield flourish. Although smaller than most other nations, it was an economic power, and influenced inter-galactic trade in the region. With both industrial and agricultural industries, the republic blossomed in wealth. Once, it even stopped a war between Otonushe and Shuben by exterting economic pressure on both. This was to defend its economic interests in both nations, so they could not be damaged.
The Republic did not fall to the URR, but actually gave into forming the URR. Following unification, Flowerfield, as one of the founders of the URR, has a great deal of autonomy, and its wealth skyrocketed than ever before. Even now, Flowerfield remains the wealthiest region in all of the URR.
Nation: Lordship of Mu'uan
Species: Velpus, Metori
Government: Absolute Monarchy
Head of State: Warlord Caesar XXXIV
Head of Government: Warlord Caesar XXXIV
Legislative Body: No central legislative body existed, Warlord and his/her/it governors imposed their rule
Capital: Changed constantly, but the last one was Vandunn
History: After the fall of the human empire, this faction quickly grabbed power and brainwashed everyone under its rule that Warlord Caesar I, its first leader, was a god, and every one of its successors were as well.
It was the most absolute and imperialist nation in the region. Often, it conducted raids and wars with any nation except to Otonushe, Asali or Flowerfield, as they feared repercussion against Mu'uan for attacking these three powers.
The Warlord imposed a strict, iron-fisted bureaucracy composed of governors and who their subordinates choose. Everything, from mayor of a village to a governor, was approved by a higher bureaucrat.
To prevent the bureaucrats from going corrupt, the Warlord executed any corrupt official without question. However, corrupt officials still existed, and some were so powerful in their provinces that even the Warlord, who knew of their corrupt ways, could not stop them due to their power.
Over time, Mu'uan was divided into governors who seeked power. They waged political war against themselves, and although the Warlord had enough power to stop some wars, the country was de facto run by a corrupt bureaucracy. Eventually, the country split itself apart in warring factions, and although they all pledged allegiance to the Warlord, they fought for power, this time by armed force.
The country fell in 85 BURR, when the warring factions officially split and the Warlord tried to regain power with his own faction. The Republic of Flowerfield annexed the factions and turned them into both industrial and agricultural zones for the Republic. To this day, what was Mu'uan is richer than most of the entire URR, but its the poorest and least populated region in all of Flowerfield. It is still a wealthy region nevertheless.
Modern Mu'uan Culture is almost extinct, with only the language and some non-Warlord customs exist. However, Flowerfield culture has mostly replaced Mu'uan culture, and many ways of Flowerfield life are in place today.
