I wonder if I should just apply as the Germany rather than North Germany.

Application

Name: The State of the Ryukyus
Symbols: The Sanba, Bingata etc
Claims: The Ryukyu Islands
Power: Minor

Government Structure: Direct Republic headed by a 'House of Lords'

In short - There is no central leader of the country, the populace send a law once it gains enough support to the House of Lords, who in turn organise when it will be voted on. To send a law, it must first gain 5,000 signatures or 1,000 donations; then it sent to the House who send out an edict on when it will be voted on. Eventually, the populace vote and if it passes, it's the House's job to implement it.

The House of Lords are elected every five years.



Ideology/Policy: Capitalism, embrace Westernisation while also keeping it at arms length. See an end to the illegal occupation of Japan - though not acknowledged in public.

Leaders: N/A

Capital City: Naha

Population: 350,000

Primary Ethnic Group: Ryukyuan

Minority Ethnic Groups: Japanese

Description of Ethnicity: Small in stature, with practically all citizenry having epithcanthal folds (the things like make people in the West say Japanese/Asians have 'slanted eyes' ) they also tend to be muscular despite their small statue. Many have dark hair and slightly tanned skin, with dark or light eyes being common around the islands.

Language: Ryukyuan Languages - all four of them are taught by law. Writing takes place using Hiragana script.

Religion: Ryukyuan Animism

Foreign Relations: Aims for good relations with Asian nations, tends to accept the West but wishes to keep them at arm's length to avoid unequal treaties or the destruction of their culture.
Military Information: The Black Watch (army), The Ryukyuan MF (Commercial Fleet)
Army Size: 4,500, most armed with rifles and all proficient in the martial art of karate and Tegumi. Generally having to demonstrate extreme proficient with martial arts and firearms to graduate from Naha's "Blue Crescent Military Academy" and thus earn a place in the Black Watch. They lack sidearms, and thus rely are dirks (small daggers) that in Asia resemble miniaturised Katanas.
Navy Size: 5 Naval vessels (all merchant)

Economic Policy:Tariffs on some imported goods, mainly Mongolian and lowered tariffs on others. Most industries with the exception of the fishing, weaponry and educational industries can be owned by the people who are allowed to gain or lose money on their own decisions. Education is free in Ryukyu, but many schools require the parents or carers to assist towards paying for learning materials. Etc.

Economic Situation: The economy is growing rapidly because of recent contact with the West, with trading links in Europe and hopefully some to occur within Mongolia. Main money makers include tropical fruits, cloth and swords.

Infrastructure: Conditions have improved dramatically since contact with the West during the 1850s and 60s, 80% of roads are paved leading to settlements, with Naha having built its first hospital in 1876. The education system is slowly improving, with around 50 Schools throughout the State and a heavily rising literacy rate. Naha now has adequate facilities to repair merchant vessels and small ships and a harbour. There's telegraph lines in Naha, with one or two others going across Okinawa but none elsewhere.

Most of the citizenry have boring but bearable lives, their homes are basic with most of Naha's made from stone. Outside of Naha most are made of dried mud or hardwood.


Imports & Exports: Exports - Swords, various other bladed and non bladed weapons, cloth, textiles, hardwood, fish etc. Imports - Weapons, Machinery, (to build up industries in the State) books.

Currency: The Ryukyuan Dollar

History: King Sasu I unified the Ryukyus in the 1769 AD, under his guidance the Ryukyus slowly began to become more open to trade with Western Nations and Asian ones too. This allowed the level of infrastructure across the islands to be rebuilt and upgraded in quality. In 1802 AD, the King died and was replaced by his illegitimate son, Zaki who was unpopular with the people, who overthrew him and settled under the rule of a clan of lords. These lords would later build the 'House of Lords' and were a vital step for the nation.

European contact was made in 1849 AD, when ships from an unspecified European country docked at Naha, they forced the nation to open for trade and in return the country began to Westernise Ryukyu. In 1853 AD, the 'Black Watch' was formed and began to train a cadet movement that would train the future military. This was followed a year later by the Navy. The telegraph was introduced in the 1864 AD and majorly increased the intelligence gathering abilities of the government. A first domestic rifle was produced in the 1867, this was abandoned and several Ryukyuans were sent abroad to train gunsmithing and design - they did so. The same followed with 30 Doctors who would later open a Medical school in 1879 and 15 teachers.


Miscellaneous:

RP Example:
DPRK, Pyongyang, January 1969


Hard boots stomped on the concrete ground in unison as the formally dressed KPA units marched down the wide street, the crowds next to them were forming the North Korean flag and various communist insignia with pieces of card. Above them was Kim Il Sung, the Great Leader, Generalissimo and anything else you could think of. Next to him were the usual - generals, admirals, high ranking politicians etc, they thought of power and he thought of reform; because a small gap was slowly widening between North and South. Unfortunately these reforms couldn't be too obvious, the Chinese would see to that. Although despite his stormy rhetoric it was dawning on him that economic and social reforms were a needed reality.

First would be the implementation of a system allowing the citizens of Pyongyang to trade goods at stalls for North Korean Won, or U.S dollars if they were the richer political class. This would also be trialled on the North Korean-Chinese border where the citizenry often ended up considerably wealthier than the citizenry of Pyongyang. But before that, the basics would require fertiliser for crops, and there was one place where this could be obtained rather... well with difficulty but a letter or two could sweeten it hopefully.

The Khedive wrote:Application

Name: North German Confederation
Symbols: State Flag Civil flag Coat of arms
Claims: I request a shade of blue to be represented on the map. Metropole. Colonies (as much as is allowed of the list): Morocco, Mozambique coastline, Lagos-Niger Delta, Congo-Brazzaville coastline, something on the Gold Coast, a pocket of Angola
Power: Great Power

Government Structure: The North German Constitution of 16 April 1867 created a national parliament with universal suffrage (for men above the age of 25), the Reichstag. Another important organ was the Bundesrat, the 'federal council' of the representatives of the allied governments. To adopt a law, a majority in the Reichstag and in the Bundesrat was necessary. This gave the allied governments, meaning the states and their princes, an important veto.

Executive power was vested in a president, a hereditary office of the House of Hohenzollern, the ruling family of Prussia. He was assisted by a chancellor responsible only to him. There was no formal cabinet; the heads of the departments were not called ministers but secretaries. Those were installed and dismissed by the chancellor.

For all intents and purposes, the confederation was dominated by Prussia. It had four-fifths of the confederation's territory and population — more than the other 21 members combined. The presidency was a hereditary office of the Prussian crown. Prussia had 17 of 43 votes in the Bundesrat despite being by far the largest state, but could easily get a majority by making alliances with the smaller states.
Ideology/Policy: Junker, Heer and Krupp
Leaders: King Wilhelm, Minister-President Bismarck
Capital City: Welthaupstadt Germania Berlin.

Population: 45,234,100
Primary Ethnic Group: German
Minority Ethnic Groups: Ashkenazi Jew, Polish, Lithuanian, Sorbs, French, Frisian, Danish, Slovenian
Description of Ethnicity: Germans are above all a diverse sort, from the Meuse to the Memel. This is truly evident in the different dialects of German (see here). Hundreds of kingdoms and principalities were compressed into thirty states of the German Confederation following the Congress of Vienna. Twenty-two now compose the North German Confederation, not mentioning the kingdoms absorbed by Prussia.
Language: German.
Religion: Roman Catholic, Protestant

Foreign Relations: Nothing is more important than being seen as the gentle giant of Europe, particularly after three devastating wars in the span of seven years that became the backdrop of the Confederation's rise to power. At the head of Bismarck, it tries to be the honest broker of the Continent, seeking to maintain the peace of Europe, a peace that favours Bismarck rather. It remains undisputed hegemon of the German states. Currently it looks west in its diplomatic efforts.
Military Information: Prussia is an army with a state, and thus Prussia, and North Germany at large, cannot function without the backing of the Heer. The North German Army inherited much of the traditions and concepts of the Prussian Army, which was its largest component army. According to article 61 of the constitution, the Prussian military code was to be introduced throughout the North German Reich. The conservative leaders of the army took an ever increasing role in both domestic and foreign policies. As of 1881, most Prussian officers could be divided into two groups: those who argued for boldness and self-sacrifice, and those who advocated technology and maneuver in order to minimize casualties. First encountered during the Franco-Prussian War, new technological military innovations such as the machine gun increased the power of defensive units. For the Prussians, who advocated offensive operations, infantry attacks would risk becoming sacrificial assaults.
Army Size: 400,000 active. About 1,000,000 total.
Navy Size: Eight armoured frigates, six armoured corvettes, twenty light corvettes, seven monitors, two floating batteries, six avisos, eighteen gunboats and twenty-eight torpedo boats.

Economic Policy: Protectionism, interventionism. In 1873, Germany and much of Europe and America entered the Long Depression. To aid faltering industries, the Chancellor abandoned free trade and established protectionist import-tariffs. Several tariffs were enacted to protect German agriculture and industry from foreign competitors in 1879.
Economic Situation:Prussia lives in an economy of rye and iron, torn between the heavy industrialised West and the Junker-held agrarian East. The economy continues to industrialize and urbanize, with heavy industry – especially coal and steel – becoming important in the Ruhr, and manufacturing growing in the cities, the Ruhr, and Silesia. Industrialisation progressed dynamically in North Germany and German manufacturers began to capture domestic markets from British imports. Farmers too quickly abandoned traditional, inefficient practices in favor of modern methods, including use of new fertilizers and new tools.

In machinery, iron and steel, and other industries, North German firms avoided cut-throat competition and instead relied on trade associations. Germany was a world leader because of its prevailing "corporatist mentality", its strong bureaucratic tradition, and the encouragement of the government. These associations regulate competition and allowed small firms to function in the shadow of much larger companies. The German cartel system (known as Konzerne), being significantly concentrated, was able to make more efficient use of capital. North Germany was not weighted down with an expensive worldwide empire that needed defense.
Infrastructure: By 1880, the Realm had 9,400 locomotives pulling 43,000 passengers and 30,000 tons of freight. The total length of North German railroad tracks continues to expand from 21,000 kilometers in 1871
Imports & Exports: Exports steel, coal, dyes, chemicals. Imports grain, foodstuff, produce, etc.
Currency: Marks, 1 Mark = 358 mg. Gold standard.

History:
-44 - Death of Caesar
1859 - Wilhelm II is born, a healthy baby boy.
1864 - The Danish fleet is Copenhagen'd.
1867 - The military union of the North German states are made official with the Constitution of the North German Confederation.
1870-1871 - German High Command is occupied with the siege in Paris. The South German states renew their military alliance with the Realm for another 10 years.
1871 - Treaty of Frankfurt. The French are not made to surrender Alsace-Lorraine.
1871-1881 - Pursuit of warm relations with neighbours, e.g. Britannia, Francia, and Poland.
1875-1881 - German colonial empire, Scramble for Africa. Most notably the military intervention in Morocco, precipitating German Nordwestafrika

Miscellaneous: Franco-German entente?

Application

Name: Kalmar Union of Scandinavia (Sk.: Kalmarunionen Skandinavien; Denonym: Scandinavian/Kalmar)
Symbols: Kalmarbaner Tre Kronern (Vapen); Vitae lampada
Claims: Boop
Power: Secondary Power

Government Structure: Unitary Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy. Members of the Parliament are elected by county with amounts of representatives proportional to the amount of population in the given county. The Parliament is bicameral, with Upper and Lower houses modeled after Britain. In regards to administrative divisions; the Union is divided into several large provinces in turn divided into counties.
Ideology/Policy: Constitutional monarchism, Classical liberalism, Economic interventionism, Pan-Scandinavianism, Imperialism.
Leaders:
-- King Gustaf IV Akilles von Wittelsbach (Head of State)
-- Lord High Chancellor Per Isak Nordahl (Head of Government)
-- Riksdag (legislature)
-- Riksrådet (privy council)
Capital City: Stockholm. The reasons for this election were threefold: Stockholm was previously the capital of the most powerful realm in the Union, Stockholm was considerably more prosperous and populated than Copenhagen or Kristiania and was also strategically better located.

Population: 9,259,200
Sverige: 4,813,600
Norge: 2,122,900
Danmark: 2,230,400
Island: 72,400 [claimed]*
Grönland: 9,900 [claimed]*


colonies here (to be sorted afterwards)

Primary Ethnic Group: Scandinavian (Swedish, Danish, Norwegian).
Minority Ethnic Groups: Sami, Finnish, varied Inuit
Description of Ethnicity: Scandinavians are a group of ethnic groups native to Scandinavia, mostly inhabiting the country or other Nordic countries. The Union has caused some amount of internal migration, and thus culture in certain urban areas and otherwise has become somewhat diffused. The government is pursuing policies to show the common bonds between Scandinavians.
Language: Scandinavian. In the late 18th Century, the Monarchy took measures in order to standardize the various dialects spoken in the realms, and the Scandinavian language was the product of such work. Scandinavian is encouraged by the government and taught in public education; nevertheless, large amounts of Scandinavians speak their former native languages, such as Swedish or Danish, without knowing Scandinavian.
Religion:
-- Protestantism/Lutheran/Church of Sweden: 93%
-- Roman Catholicism: 4%
-- [Russian] Orthodoxy: 1%
-- Judaism: 1%
-- Other: 0.1%
-- None: 0.9%

Foreign Relations: Scandinavia holds diplomatic relations with most civilized nations around the world. Scandinavia has presently been attempting to establish her neutrality in European affairs, as the Treaty of London has done for other countries. This has proved ineffective, as several nations compete to secure Scandinavia in their 'sphere of influence'. Scandinavia has historically held friendly relations with the British and the Germans.
Military Information: The Kalmar Armed Forces form the entirety of the military component of the Scandinavian country. The Kalmar Army is rapidly reforming, almost like Prussia's reformation except without the Moltke factor (not as effectively, that is), in order to reach standards such as the British. Currently, the army is on-par with most of the other armies in Europe, although, of course, the Scandinavian army remains small.
Army Size: 180,000 active, 330,000 reserve
-- Army of Jylland: 30,000 men; Aarhus
-- Army of Sundsvall: 40,000 men; Sundsvall
-- Army of Uppsala: 20,000 men; Uppsala
-- Army of Norbrötten: 40,000 men; Töre
-- Army of Bergen: 10,000 men; Gothenburg
-- Colonial armies: 40,000 men
Navy Size:
-- High Seas Fleet, Bergen; 39 ships, flagship; “Tre Kronorn”
-- Baltic Sector Fleet (Home Defense); 34 ships; flagship: “Viktor av Waterloo”

Economic Policy: Protectionism (limited); Interventionism
Economic Situation: Following the depression of the 1870s, Scandinavia is slowly in the way to recovery, partially aided by the interventionist policies of the government. Kalmar Scandinavia experienced its industrial revolution in the 1850s (in Vicky 2 terms), making use of its ample reserves of coal and timber.
Infrastructure: The Kalmar infrastructure is rather advanced, although the large and diffused nature of Scandinavia limits the effectiveness of such infrastructure. A large part of the country's railroad length follows the coastline, such as the Stockholm-Töre line.
Imports & Exports:
-- Imports: Varied foodstuffs, clothing, chemicals
-- Exports: Timber, iron, processed parts
Currency: Kronar (plural: kronor; sign: kr)

History:
1. Kalmar Union
OTL, but Swedish Nobles are appeased after a Swedish noble family occupies the crown. When their last heir dies without child, a Royal marriage with the Wittelsbach family produces a Wittelsbach at the throne of Sweden. Currently, Gustaf IV Akilles is set to die without a male heir, and his old age might make that a soon-to-be event.

2. Napoleonic Wars
Kalmar Scandinavia aligned itself with the Coalition during the Napoleonic wars. Scandinavia was one of the more involved countries in attempting to take Napoleon down. In the War of the xth Coalition, Napoleon crossed the Rhine and invaded Scandinavian holdings in Continental Europe before the powerful French army smashed its way into Scandinavia and forced the Kalmar Union to accept the Peace of Uppsala just days after the French army occupied Stockholm. Under the terms of the Treaty of Uppsala, Scandinavia was forced to relinquish Finland as a realm and grant it complete autonomy, although the reasons for such an interest remain unknown. Furthermore, Kalmar Scandinavia was forced to sign an alliance with France and join the Continental Blockade against Britain.

After the disastrous pseudo-invasion of Russia, Kalmar Scandinavia obtained independence from both the continental blockade and the alliance with France, although it was unable to retake Finland. Kalmar armies marched South with the rest of the ‘Last Coalition’ and ceremoniously defeated Napoleon and Waterloo, thus ending the Napoleonic Wars. In the subsequent Treaty of Vienna, Kalmar Scandinavia did not receive substantial gains in Europe, but received several formerly French colonies, such as x and y.

3. 19th Century
Following the Napoleonic Wars, Scandinavia remained largely neutral of European affairs, except that it rapidly began securing colonies wherever these may be placed. Scandinavia also made unsuccessful attempts to restore Finland as a realm of the Union. Several diplomatic overtures were rejected. Military invasion was considered but then abandoned, despite the overwhelming superiority of the Kalmar Navy when related to the Finnish. Other than exerting diplomatic pressure on Finland to return to the Union, the aging Gustaf Akilles has made no attempt to restore Finland as a realm.

The 1873 economic hardship hit Scandinavia severely. The path to recovery has been slow, but the government has begun measures to introduce traditional economic prosperity into Scandinavia once more.

Miscellaneous: I can further elaborate upon any aspect if asked to do so.

@Svelt

The British actually sided with Napoleon and were defeated by the coalition of I am assuming Portugay, the Dual Kingdom, the UK, Russia, and the HRE. Otherwise I'm not sure how Napoloen lost (by that I mean based off of Coalition members) bc he's hella strong and without all of them he could easily win
