Nieuwlimburg

Geography
 Founded in late 2010, the Republic of Nieuwlimburg (Nuu. Ripublik v Nuulimburg) is a mid-sized nation that occupies the northwestern portion of the island of Greenland. The nation's southern-most border extends to just several kilometers away from the city of Nuuk. Owing to the nature of the topography of central Greenland, its eastern border is less distinct; however, it has been construed (with Denmark's approval) as being the 41⁰ W line. The nation's capital and second largest settlement is Ilulissat, a vibrant tourist destination of around 4,500 residents. The largest city in Nieuwlimburg is Sisimiut (5,400), which is roughly halfway between Nuuk and Ilulissat. Travel between towns is made possible by Airrow, the national air service which also offers regular international flights from Kangerlussuaq to Reykjavik, Iceland and seasonal destinations in Northern Canada.

Government
 While its official name proclaims the nation a republic, Nieuwlimburg is a semi-socialist, two-party state. The sovereign is currently Bernhard Klein, the leader of the 2010 Narwal separatist movement and former chairperson of the Party for Social Democracy (Nuu. Parтeeкuu Demaкražeežooðšal). Sovereign elections take place every five years; the next election shall take place in December 2015. In the event of the sovereign's incapacitation or death, control of the state is passed to the Chairman of the majority party in the National Assembly, who must then relinquish that post to another in the party.

The National Assembly (Nuu. Asembleenaðšinal) consists of five locally elected members from each of the various municipalities, of which there are 5: Ilulissat, Sisimiut, Upernavik, Qeqertarsuaq, and Thule Station. One member of the majority party is elected to preside over sessions of the legislature and is generally called the "piiliт," or pilot. Legislation of all sorts may originate in either the legislature or with the sovereign and both must review the legislation before it can be enacted. The precedent has been set, however, for the majority party to allow most bills originating with the sovereign to pass with little resistance.

Language
 The primary language, Nieuwlimburgish, is a curious language that draws from a variety of sources. The alphabet is comprised of a mixture of latin, cyrillic, and Scandinavian characters. Below is a sentence in English and translated into Nieuwlimburgish:


 * Hello, how are you? What do you think of the house they built down the street?
 * Daagud, juu-luui? Juu þinkiluui v høð bilтuþaa døn’quu ðтreeт?

The Nieuwlimburgish statement literally translates to English as "Day good, you [are]? You think [are] of house built they down street?" A more clean reading would be "The day is good. How are you feeling? What are your thoughts about that house that was built down the street." In N'limby, certain types of words are given precedent, as is the case with the relationship between the house and who is building it. N'limby is more concerned with the end product (the house-built) and is not so concerned with who is doing it (they). In this sense, it may seem an impersonal language, yet the suffix (and occasionally free-standing word) "luui" is intriguing in that it has come to mean virtually anything regarding the self. 
 * I am cold. / Køldluui. --> lit. "Cold self"
