Please reserve california, Oregan, Washington, Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona

Until u prove to us why I own all this land or give some of it up, I fear it must be rejected unless the other co op has something to say?

[Oscalantine]

Map updated~!!

Dudes, I understand you folks mean well, but weirder things have happened in AH RPs that I have been in. Don't try to be TOO critical and just watch out for land grabs that exceed what you would think as "decent sizes"

the OP said that it was fine ^^

Personally, I saw that he was thinking of Native American council of some sort that has managed to westernize from the refugees coming from Europe tired of war-torn landscape. That's classic for those who want Western US coast that I thought really nothing of it.

[Suekiva]

I'm reserving Crimea.

[Normandy and Picardy]

Could I reserve a kingdom in Ghana and South-East Ivory Coast? I'll have the app up tomorrow, if I can.

Well hey there almost neighbor. I'm a European. BLITZKRIEG TIME! *invades*

Don't be so sure. Having a lot of gold and cocoa to trade can help in terms of buying military supplies... Also, modernisation is a thing (don't worry, I'll have only begun modernising)

Oh, I was thinking a empire built by Europeans and wanted to colonize west USA before America did

hmmm
fine.
App, and we will decide....

If Mexico owns Texas, I would believe that they would not want an empire right on their doorstep and owning lands with Spanish speaking people

Its a spanish speaking republic my app will be up after i get off work at eleven.

I really like the native american idea and i think i will mix the two

[Kosovo12345]

Would Mexico be colonized here? Since Spain is Muslim and not the Christian empire it was in history

Full Nation Name : The Brazilian Empire
Majority/Official Culture :Brazilian
Territorial Core : The parts of this that isn't already taken
Territorial Claim : [[OPTIONAL]] [[region NOT your core where your nation’s ambition lies]]
Capital City : Brasília
Population : 30,635,605

Government Type : Constitutional monarchy
Government Ideology/Policies : [[OPTIONAL]] [[Militant, Imperialist, Expansionist, etc.]]
Government Focus : After the instability following the Second Exodus and the accession of Maria I as the first Empress of Brazil, rather than Queen of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarve the government of the new Brazilian Empire has been hard at work implementing a very ambitious program to transform the former colony into a first world great power. In 1850 this has largely been achieved. Enjoying internal stability and economic prosperity the governments of Pedro II has succesfully pursued conciliação, conciliation between the new Portuguese nobility and the old Brazilian elites, between liberals and conservatives, between country and city and melhoramentos, rapid economic development of the country. These reforms aimed to promote less political partisanship, and forward infrastructure and economic development. The nation was being interconnected through railroad, electric telegraph and steamship lines, uniting it into a single entity.
Head of State : Pedro II, Emperor of Brazil
Head of Government : Luís de Araújo e Lima, Viscount of Sousa
Government Description :

Majority/State Religion : Roman Catholicism
Religious Description : [[OPTIONAL]]

Economic Ideologies : Capitalism
Major Production : Agricultural products and raw materials
Economic Description : The Brazilian economy is mainly based on agriculture being a world leader in production of coffee, sugar, tobacco, rubber, timber, cotton, skins etc. In recent years it has begun to industrialize.

Army Strength : None, its not a strong army.
Army Weakness : Due to a lack of any nearby adversaries the Empire of Brazil has devoted few resources to an army that has no foes to fight. As a result the army is ill equipped to fight a foreign great power.
Naval Strength :Unlike its army Brazil has been prioritizing its navy highly building and maintaining a large number of ships of the line. Recently Brazil has laid down what is to be its first steam driven ship of the line, the future flagship of Imperador.
Naval Weakness :The Brazilian navy has never had to fight a worthy enemy, having therefore had little chance of getting much experience.
Further Military Description : The Imperial Brazilian Army is based mostly on the Royal Brazilian one preceding it. That was a force of militias and irregulars engaging tribes of the interior of the country in endemic warfare but unaccustomed to actual war between states. In order to make the independent empire able to match a European power the army would then have been augmented by a more professional standing army based on the French imperial model but without ever getting the resources needed to build a truly formidable force. The navy would have a more impressive tradition dating back to the days of Henry the Navigator and the Portuguese Empire, and would consists of masterful sailors.

National Goals : Continue its path to great power status
National Issues : Maintaining stability
National Figures of Interest : [[OPTIONAL]] [[Are there any Mother Teresas or Moses that we need to know about?]]
National Ambition/Aspirations : [[OPTIONAL]] [[Not really a set objective, but rather the big picture that your nation is drawing towards]]

History :

• 1455-56 While performing the volta de mar after having discovered Cape Verde captain Alvise Cadamosto is blown of course by a storm drifting further out sea and discovering, entirely by accident, Brazil. Upon his return to Portugal he is instructed by Henry the Navigator to explore the new discovery and claim it for Portugal.
  
• 1580 During the Portuguese succession crisis a mass exodus, the First Exodus, of supporters of both António, Prior of Crato and Infanta Catherine of Guimarães, Duchess of Braganza flee to Brazil. António, whose claim enjoys the greatest support, settles with his supporters in Northern Brazil, the part closest to Portugal and most densely settled, setting up his state at Recife, while the Infanta has to settle for the unexplored south, founding a new city of Rio de Janeiro as her capital.
  
• 1595 António dies without legitimate offspring. A dispute breaks out in the Recife state about the future of the de facto independent country with one faction favoring submitting to the Habsburgs of Spain and another suggesting union with the Braganza state in Rio de Janeiro. A compromise is reached with Infanta Catherine's son Teodósio being appointed ruler of the Recife state.
  
• 1614 Infanta Catherine dies and Teodósio inherits the Rio de Janeiro state. As ruler of both Recife and Rio de Janeiro he pledges allegiance to the Habsburgs.
  
• 1640 Taking advantage of political instability in the Habsburg Monarchy John, the son of Teodósio, seizes control of Portugal, reestablishing the country as an independent state. Recognizing his Brazilian heritage he united the Recife and Rio de Janeiro colonies into one Kingdom of Brazil, and independent country in personal union with Portugal.
  
• 1640s Concurrently with the reestablishment of an independent Kingdom of Portugal bandeirantes in the service of, first Rio de Janeiro and later the Kingdom of Brazil, discover gold in the Espinhaço Mountains. This discovery arrests declining economic prospects of the newly united kingdom as its king settles in Lisbon. Over the next fifty years a half million Portuguese and nearly a million black slaves comes to Brazil to mine for gold. Internally in the kingdom the discovery of gold in the south also spur migration from the formerly most populous Recife state in favor of the former Rio de Janeiro state. The new Province of Minas Gerais is created to administer the lands of the gold rush. Subordinate to the Sao Vicente Governor-General the new province becomes the most populous of Brazil with Sao Vicente becoming the most populous governorate general.
  
• 1807 A French invasion of Portugal prompts queen Maria I and Prince Regent John to flee Portugal with their court and much of the Portuguese elite to Brazil in the second exodus. In the years following their departure a new wave of mass migration takes place with much of the Portuguese upper class buying passage to Brazil.
  
• 1815 Maria I, recognizing that a return to Portugal is unlikely to occur, establishes the Brazilian Empire, proclaiming herself the first Empress of Brazil. Rio de Janeiro, the largest city of Brazil that has functioned as capital in exile of Portugal since 1807, becomes the imperial capital.
  
• 1816-26 Maria I dies and is succeeded by John I and VI. Having already functioned as de facto ruler of Brazil since the arrival of the Portuguese court John was in many ways the architect of the modern Brazilian state, devising its first institutions, reforming its economy and managing the peaceful and relatively effortless transition from a Portuguese colonial empire to a Brazilian one. He also determined to establish a new capital city for his empire.
  
• 1826-34 Upon the death of Emperor John I and VI, his son Pedro took the imperial throne under the name Pedro I of Brazil and IV of Portugal. Loved by the people of Brazil for his pro-Brazilian (rather then Portuguese) outlook Pedro I was a decadent and ostentatious ruler who laid the foundation to the new imperial capital of Brasília and launched a series of building projects throughout Brazil. A liberal despite his shortcomings Pedro turned Brazil into a constitutional monarchy, promulgated the constitution of 1834 and lived just long enough to call for the first elections in the empire before dying of Tuberculosis.
  
• 1834-50 After his father's death Pedro II acceded to the Brazilian throne. He was the first monarch to forego the use of the Portuguese numerals refusing to call himself Pedro II and V. A child when he acceded Pedro II grew into an able ruler presiding over a period of great prosperity. During his reign Brazil has become known for its political stability, zealously guarded freedom of speech, respect for civil rights, vibrant economic growth and especially for its form of government: a functional, representative parliamentary monarchy.

Would Mexico be colonized here? Since Spain is Muslim and not the Christian empire it was in history

Yush plz.

Andalusia approves. If they want, I can write it into my history.

I'm almost done with my app; have everything done except my history, and I'd like to clarify my hope for a dominion-like region in the Americas. Would it be possible to have it in the Colorado/Salando/Negro river valley (Roughly south Argentia and Chile)

No, seriously. Love you all for joining, will read your apps and reserves later. Meanwhile, ask the Co-ops for approvals on anything.

Yeah, feel free to approve apps for now. If I find that it isn't adequate, then I'll ask again to edit some stuff... but everyone here seems to know what they are talking about, so I am not too worried about my standards ^^

History : Khagan has existed as far as 3000 BC with the Kha Dynasty. After the two dynasties came the country's first hagunate (a Khaganese shogunate or feudal military democracy), the Khangdong Hagunate, in 1000 BC. It dissolved in 500 BC and three more dynasties were born. In 900 AD, a second hagunate, the Shangdong Hagunate, was born and ruled the country with an iron fist. In 1198, the Shai Dynasty rose up from the hagunate and began conquering parts of China, Oceania and Russia. In 1698, it halted an invasion of the entire country by the Qing Dynasty, formed by Manchus, Chinese people from Manchuria. In the 18th Century, it began cooperating with the UK, which brought British influence to Khagan such as the English language.

Sci, one more peep out of your about territory which you ALREADY have more than every one of us and I am removing your coastal cities

No, seriously. Love you all for joining, will read your apps and reserves later. Meanwhile, ask the Co-ops for approvals on anything.

Yeah, feel free to approve apps for now. If I find that it isn't adequate, then I'll ask again to edit some stuff... but everyone here seems to know what they are talking about, so I am not too worried about my standards ^^
