Novgorod Republic

The Republic of Novgorod (Russian: Новгородская Республика, romanized: Novgorodskaya Respublica) was a nation designed to play in the Second Season of GeoFacts Earth. It was going to be located in Northwestern Russia near the Baltic Sea and consist of at least 2 towns: Novgorod and Saint Petersburg. The Novgorod Republic was a member of the Hanseatic League and was also allied with Atlantis, Mongolia, Greater Japan, Empire of Germania, France and Portugal.
Teplapus was the acting president of the Novgorod Republic. The first election was planned to be about a week into Season 2. The exact way the Republic was going to function was not yet decided and the Constitution was not yet written.
Russia, a nation planned by the player fcx_, has repeatedly and openly threatened the Novgorod Republic, fully claiming its territories as theirs. There is no certainty on whether the threat was real or a bluff. Another nation threatened by Russia is the Nordic-Hanoverian Empire, formerly an ally of Novgorod.
The predecessor of the Novgorod Republic in Season 1 was a town called Novgorod, founded by Teplapus in early November. Nobody ever joined the town, so all the Season 1 ambitions of Novgorod failed.
