I seem to have gone from enemy to neutral for the kingdom of Nehelenia is this intentional? Sorry that you are getting bombarded with questions.

A possible war between Amazonia and my enemy Nehelenia? Do the Amazonians need any guns and artillery to fight the tyrants?
Kingdom of Braiyusal
January 1836
January 1836
The Braiyusalian people have struggled long and hard these past years. The tides of change have swept through the nation, and while many embraced it, some did not. These scars have just begun to heal under the reign of King Rolfe, but no one knows what the future will bring.
Eldham, Capital of Braiyusal
Braiyusalian Elections Begin
Braiyusalian Elections Begin
King Rolfe sat quietly at the end of the table, the senators had just begun gathering inside the room. First entered Senator Leo III, a nobleman who rules over a small plot of land near the capital. He was almost completely incompetent, but with that incompetence came loyalty to the kingdom and it’s king that Rolfe had never seen before. Next was Senator Ouen who ruled over Fort Lanchester. A general in the army for several years he had proven himself in battle many times, rising through the ranks. His military strategy is often welcome, but he is a better suited general then Senator. Not long after Senator Gylbart III, rumors haven’t done the man any favors. There are talks that he wishes the Anarcho-Liberal Extremist, and is trying to remove the monarchy altogether. As frightening as these rumors are though, King Rolfe has found little evidence of this. At the same time three other senators had entered Senator Gerard, Wyman, and Humphrey. All three are politically conservative, and though disagree with some of Rolfe’s more progressive reforms have remained loyal. Next was Sir Donald III, the first man to renounce his senator title, arguing that he was a knight first and a senator second, though he was fine being both. Knighthood had earned little loyalty towards the crown however, his views are often reactionary and has sought to return to the old ways. Two more senators entered Roley and Joss VI, the exact opposite of Sir Donald. They walked a fine line between Anarchy and Liberalism, and argued for more power for the senate. The last seat though was empty, held by Senator Bartel, who died four months ago, after a period of illness. The matter was investigated, but it seems to have been natural death.
After each senator took their seat, Roley was quick to begin discussions. “The people deserve fair and equal representation within the government, many nations have already accommodated this, we and a few others though remain at odds with this ideal. The future of nations isn’t governed by a king, but by the people. If the monarchy can not learn to adapt to this, then the people will remove the monarchy.”
“Shut up about the damned people Roley, the King has given in to so many liberal demands that if he listened any further we would fall into anarchy” Sir Donald demanded. Senator Gerard shouted in agreement, while Humphrey nodded quietly with approval.
“Your majesty this is the same man who refuses to use his title of Senator, a title given to a select few during time of service. A service that I might add, to the king himself.” Roley’s temper was getting the best of him, but in comparison to Sir Donald it was relatively tame. This argument continued for a long period of time, but soon enough discussions changed. Topics on how to deal with the threats of outside nations, specifically Nehelenia, and the defense of their colonies in the New World where prevalent.
Nearly six hours of debate on issues had passed, but Rolfe had kept interest throughout. His decision was made, and silently stood. “Sir Donald and Senator Joss VI, I hereby relieve you of your service as senators of the people and king. With this relieve I wish you luck, but must hereby revoke the title of senator.”
Joss VI left quietly, most likely to return to his small plantation in the east, but Sir Donald left with a sneer, “Your petty title and this kingdom means nothing to me, have fun falling into anarchy.” Most likely to return to his home in Bellesea Keep Sir Donald left, but with family in Tangaria he may leave the country entirely if he truly meant those words. For now though, over the next three months elections will take place.
JARELIAN INDEPENDENCE CRISIS
Official Statement from King Rolfe himself
“We have no opinion on the crisis at hand, and can only hope that matters are resolved without bloodshed.”

King Rolfe of House Rolant

The Kingdom of Braiyusal

Brief Nation History:
Founded in the fourteenth century by King Nicolet I, the Kingdom of Braiyusal has thrived off a strong maritime and trading tradition. Though relatively powerful, the Kingdom of Braiyusal has seen very little conflict, and even fewer wars outside of trade disputes and opposition against new world natives. This has ultimately served to strengthen the country position, and has lead to a relatively isolationist view on world conflicts, both in the old world and new.
During the early 18th century and the reign of King Nicholaus IV the country of Braiyusal enjoyed what is often called a Golden Age for their people. They experienced newly found wealth and trade with their relatively small, but well placed colonial holding in the new world, and a wave of nationalism due to their naval superiority over many nations, even relatively large ones. Even today, the people consider the reign of King Nicholaus IV the peak of their country's power, and with good cause.
After the death of King Nicholaus IV in 1773, due to severe illness, his son King Hobard II the Unready succeeded him, and with it the challenges of a changing world. Even though late into Nicholaus’ reign many of these issues were prevalent, they weren’t truly taken note of until Hobard II took the throne. Like most rulers during the time, he embraced these changes brought on by the industrial revolution, but hadn’t prepared for the consequences that came with them. The merchants and wealthy men of the country, simply couldn’t adapt to this new world, holding on to their traditional ideals and actively fought against the Hobard’s reforms. Soon enough the people of Braiyusal experienced little trade with the outside world, and nearly 200,000 people died due to famine and hunger. Three years later Hobard II died due to food poisoning, some even argue that it was an assassination.
King Rolfe youngest brother of Hobard II succeeded the throne soon after his brother’s death in 1794, and unlike his brother had the support of the noblemen to bring about a change. Utilizing this newfound support, he quickly modernized the nation, and passed many reforms to appease both the people and the noblemen. Soon enough he began rebuilding their once great navy, and trade between nations had been revived.
It is now the year 1836, and King Rolfe find’s himself in good health, with three young children two boys and one girl, Prince Nicolet III age 28, Prince Rolfe II age 24, and Princess Jane age 19. The nation continues to enjoy it’s relatively quick recovery under Rolfe’s new reforms, and are starting to call it a second Golden Age.
Government:
The kingdom of Braiyusal is a semi-constitutional monarchy with a relatively small senate of ten members to represent the king's subjects and are elected by the people. Every other year the king must choose three members of the council of ten who he wishes to replace, to which the people then must vote a landed noblemen whom they wish to take the now empty seat. In an event that a council member dies serving the senate he shall not be replaced until time of elections and his vote shall be counted as abstained until the next election. Once election time comes, he shall automatically become selected as one of the king’s replacements, in an event that four or more members have died than four or more members shall be replaced that year depending on the amount needed to fill the seats.
The council itself has the power to adjust and create new taxes, arrange peace, declare war, and determine wages if 6 out of the 10 members agree to the decision, if the votes are split then the decision will not pass, unless the king himself wishes to intervene at which he can choose to pass the decision anyways. If the king feels any or all members of the council are corrupt or are actively working against the interest of their fellow country men, then he has the power to temporarily suspend their power within the government until a proper vote has taken place among the other landed noblemen in the country.

Should I repost my application here or wait for you to look over it in the interest check?
<Snipped quote by TommyToledo>
And in my opinion I think Braiyusal was already denied because of that landmass that was chosen. Most likely because it serves no real purpose in my opinion for the RP. If you really wanted to make a nation I would do it somewhere in the northwest of the old world.
Actually I PMed Theo and he said I wasn't accepted, because he hasn't had the chance to look over my nation, and then said, but it looks good so far.
