That's an interesting choice of number, but thank you nonetheless. I take pride in my order-maintenance capabilities.
Awesome!
I will accept 1 more person as a co-gm.

I would like to volunteer for such an honor.
I am thinking about taking Brazil too
I feel as though this is an important question for me to ask before I presume it.
What with the breakup of the United States and the federated EU's poor economic and financial status, can it then be assumed that Great Britain is the post-war world's financial leader, and the pound sterling the international reserve currency? I intend on making my state more or less a direct, logical continuation of the present day United Kingdom, taking the drastic changes in the international world into account.
@Willy Vereb@MetalLover
So sorry about not getting back to you guys earlier. I'm fine with the concessions of bolded states and l the italicized ones. I guess I'll take France, though my initial reason for not including them or the UK were initially France has less in common with the other nations and splendid isolation, respectively.
Edit: Does anyone want the other Scandinavian countries?
I'll have the edited version of my app up sometime later tonight or tomorrow.
@Willy Vereb
How does having a divided Slovakia as a point of contention sound, kind of like East and West Germany?
<Snipped quote by MetalLover>
Thanks, it's complete as of now.
Also, I could update/colorize the map once all the submissions are in.
Wow, this kind of has exploded since I posted in the int check. Anyway, here's my WIP nation sheet. It contains some more updates since initially posted in the int check.WIP:
Nation App
Legal Nation Name (Such As United Soviet Socialist States of America):
The Caliphate of Instanbul
What Areas Do You Control (Territories):
Turkey, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Isreal, Sinai, Egypt, Iraq
Flag or Banner (National and Political):
Political Party (What Party leads the Nation):
Sunni Brotherhood
Type of Government (Easy Pz):
A Caliphate. A type of theocratic autocracy where the highest religious leader (Caliph) is also the highest political leader. The Caliph is the Chosen representative of Allah in the mortal world. The Shura, a gathering of community leaders elects the Caliph for life. Upon the Caliphs death, all the community leaders gather to choose the next Caliph. It is the Sunni Brotherhood party who presents the possible candidates to the Shura.
Military (How many People and Military and Main Generals):
The caliphate's regular military is divided into 3 branches. Army, Air-force and Navy. The navy includes the marine corps. The Caliphate conscripts every able bodied man aged 17 into a 5 year service. After their initial service the conscripts can join the military as a career soldier. The higher ranking officers and special forces units consists of career soldiers. Next to the official military forces the Caliphate has a paramilitary wing of radical islamists recruited from all over the world known as the Martyr Brigade.
Martyr Brigades
The martyr brigades is a multinational fundamentalist paramilitary organization with the aim of adding other territories to the Caliphate. It consists of radical Islamic insurgents who are trained in the Caliphate to conduct a-symmetric warfare and terrorism against the infidels. Recruits from all across the world join this organization and setup local cells to further the spread of the true Islam within their own country. Its idiology teaches its members that it is the duty to wage jihad upon all the infidels until the entire world is united under one Caliphate.
Productions (What your nation Produces):
Oil, gas, agricultural products, industrial manufactured goods, Iron. Another great source of income to the Caliphate is the exploitation of the Suez Canal and the Bosphorus strait. Countries and companies have to pay special tributes to the Caliphate in order to make use of the sea lanes.
Due to the extremely fundamentalist interpretation of the Quran, sharia and other Islamic works the capitalist banking system has been replaced by Islamic banking which does not charge interest on their loans. Also the country is closed to all international companies that are not run by the Islamic banking principles. This has a negative impact on the countries economy.
History of the Nation (Easy Pz):
Main Race (What is your State Race + Racial Demographics):
Turks: 48 %
Arabs: 42%
Other: 10%
Main Religion (What is your State Religion + Religious Demographics):
Radical Sunni Islam. The Caliphate endorses a very radical version of the Sunni Islam. It forces everyone within the state to convert to this form of Islam. Religious minorities have been subjugated to extreme violence and genocide. Any other form of religion is prohibited by the state. People who refuse to convert can be punished by death of sold into slavery. Most people who identify with other religions than the Sunni Islam are slaves owned by religious fighters and leaders.
Other:
WIP, but please let me know if it is acceptable so far :)The United Kingdom of Greater Britannia
Legal Nation Name:
The United Kingdom of Greater Britannia
What Areas Do You Control?:
The current territories of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland; Calais (in France) and a small, undefined and fluctuating area around it; the Faroe Islands; Gibraltar; and Iceland (although the interior is only nominally under British control - the coast is, however, under London's direct administration.) Other Overseas Territories have either been annexed by other powers (a motive for new British expansionism) or are too isolated to be governed directly from London. Britain seeks to re-establish control over these lost territories.
Flag or Banner:
Political Party:
British New Imperialist Party (a radicalised merger of elements of today's Conservative and UKIP parties. These two parties continue to exist but are much weaker and less influential)
Type of Government:
Constitutional Monarchy and Parliamentary Democracy
Military: 250,000 (approx.), and rising.
Productions:
Oil (from North Sea), Steel, Shipbuilding, Automobiles, limited satellite industry based in Scotland, export of wind-generated electric power to other European nations (if any others still exist).
History of the Nation:
Will be completed and refined if/when other European nations join.
Will be along the lines of economic devastation after the Third World War giving rise to extremist parties in an unstable British state (still including Scotland after the socialist policies of SNP failed and drastically weakened both the interior Scottish economy and that of the rest of the United Kingdom, gaining support for continued union with England to prevent Scottish collapse). These extremist groups gained support for much the same reasons as the fascist powers of the 20th century rose to power. Fortunately, the Constitutional Monarchy (still intact at this time) preserved democracy by refusing point blank to sign any proposals by Parliament to abolish the system, both out of genuine concern for the well-being of the British people and out of the expectation that any dictator would seek to remove the monarchy as an opposition and counterbalance to their rule. To protect the monarchy, the Queen issued an order as her last act before she died, re-creating the Royalist forces of the English Civil War. They were to again represent the interests of the monarch, but act only as bodyguards against treasonous aggression.
Since then, elements of the far right have crept into Parliament but are kept from absolute power by the remaining, less radicalised parties and the influence of the monarchy. This has not prevented, however, a significant increase in military spending and militarisation and a more aggressive foreign policy - not opposed by most MPs as Britain lacks the resources to become self-sufficient and a significant world power.
Ultimately, Britain seized control of Eire, the Faroes and Iceland, and consolidated British holdings on the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands and Gibraltar by ingraining them into the United Kingdom itself.
Main Race:
White British (85%)
Black African/Commonwealth/British (3%)
Asian/Asian British (2.3%)
Other (9.7%)
Main Religion:
Christianity (professing) (65%)
No Religion (25%)
Islam (5%)
Other (5%)
Other:
- Head of State - King William V (Her Majesty the Queen, Prince Philip and Prince Charles all perished in the Third World War)
- Head of Government - Prime Minister Joseph Blakeney
I am generally good with maps. I'll try to whip up an approximation of everyone's claims thus far after I've worked on my NS.
<Snipped quote by MetalLover>
I think it would make much more sense for the federated EU to claim France. If anything, I will considering adjusting my claim to include all or part of Australia and New Zealand, and/or all or part of other former British dominions.
<Snipped quote by MetalLover>I'll post my NS in the OOC regardless and then alter things depending on how my talks with Durandal go.
With my NS out we both know which parts would clash and then fix things accordingly.
Ok, I've finished my app.
Edit: slight update on the history
Alright. The United Kingdom, Ireland, and all British overseas territories (including the Channel Islands and such) are hereby claimed. Tack on Newfoundland, Cyprus and Iceland as well.
<Snipped quote by Durandal>Bolded are either partial or full territory claims.
The italicized parts are things that would be an issue with Neo Hungarica around.
Besides, why France and Great Britain aren't claimed in this?
What about Spain and/or Portugal?
Scandinavian regions?
Because yeah, as things currently stand there are indeed considerable clashes between these two nations.
I thought we can quickly talk it over through the OOC but given the above, it might be indeed better if we continue this in PMs.
Was interested in joining as a sort of Greater Australia until I saw that Australia and New Zealand have apparently been awkwardly cut in half by the Chinese. Perhaps Britain, including her overseas territories and Ireland?
