Each nation combines one fixed political system, one fixed economic system, one currency whose behavior follows that economy (Section 12.3) and one official religious stance (Section 14). Its look derives from government, culture, climate and geography, currency and religion (Section 24). Sections 7.1–7.6 are the original six; Sections 7.7–7.10 are the four nations added in v0.2. The real-world systems named in Patrick’s brief and decisions are the structural inspiration; the nations themselves are fictional and must never be presented as stand-ins for real countries or peoples. Names, capitals and currencies are working placeholders pending IP clearance. Since v0.7 every office named below is held by an AI leader persona (Section 8); the rows describe the offices those AIs hold and – in Section 8.8–8.17 – how citizens influence them.
