Tales of Two Horizons OOC-Open

[The Jonathanian States]

Sorry for doublepost but OH MY GOD THE PIXELS (1855)

That map is beautiful and fills my Italian Nationalism with vigor, look at all those substantial Minorities of Italians in those Dalmatian cities!

You do know there were more Italians in the KuK armed forces than in all of Dalmatia, right?

There's more people in the KuK armed forces than there are in Dalmatia XD
Dalmatia is rather tiny and insignificant population wise...well that's not fair I believe about half? of the population of modern Croatia is in Dalmatia

Application

Name: Kingdom of Casimira
Symbols: The flag, Johann Casimir, Casimira (feminine national personification) (P.S.: she's totally not sewing a completely different flag), the reiter and the criollo horse.
Claims: 83
Power: Tertiary

Government Structure: Federal constitutional monarchy
Ideology/Policy: Enlightened despotism, progressivism, nationalism, secularism, expansionism.
Leaders: King Karl Eberhard II
Capital City: Friedrichsburg

Population: 900,000
Primary Ethnic Group: German
Minority Ethnic Groups: Native americans still are a sizeable minority, although war and miscigenation have diminished their numbers - the latter meaning that there are many mestizos as well. Other european immigrants were the dutch - who came in great number -, french huguenots, italians, sephardic jews and other iberians from conquered territory, czechs, poles and ruthenians, and some british and irish. Africans came in small number because of the lack of economic activites that relied on slavery.
Description of Ethnicity: Well, y'know them. The first to settle Casimira were rhinelanders, but germans from other regions have arrived since then.
Language: German
Religion: Casimira's origin led to religious tolerance being one of its most important values, which was consolidated in its legislation. Thus, its religious background is rather diverse, with protestants forming a majority, while catholicism, judaism, american and african animist religions also have a presence.

Foreign Relations:
Friendly: Brazil, Columbia, Hesperian Union.
Cordial: Great Britain, Netherlands, Paraguay, Andes.
Neutral: Everyone else.
Tense: Chile, Iberia.
Military Information: The casimiran army is a decent one, with the Royal Martial Academy counting with military knowledge that was "imported" from some of the most militarized countries in the world and its own experienced officers who were a part of successful wars of conquest in the beginning of the 19th century. The cavalry, particularly, is of great renown, as Casimira has a long tradition of horsemen from the Pampas.
Army Size: 22,500 active, 13,500 reserve.
Navy Size:
La Plata fleet:
- 2 frigates;
- 6 brigantines;
- 8 sloops.
Tierra del Fuego fleet:
- 1 frigate;
- 3 brigantines;
- 6 sloops.

Economic Policy: Interventionist
Economic Situation: The casimiran economy is primarily agrarian. It is pretty self-sufficient in terms of food, and still produces a sizeable surplus for export, besides a few cash crops. It also holds a small but growing industry, mainly in the textiles, leather and food processing sectors. The government has sought to stimulate this growth through direct subsidies.
Infrastructure: Casimira's railways are still only existant in the plans of the government. The waterways of the Río de la Plata basin are in good state, as are the paved roads that connect the main cities of the metropolitan and north areas. The sparsely populated Patagonia, on the other side, has dirt roads at best.
Imports & Exports: Imports: most manufactured goods, machinery, sugar, coffee, spices, tea.
Exports: grain, timber, cloth (mostly made out of wool, some out of cotton), leather, salted meat, tobacco, wine, yerba mate.
Currency: Casimiran thaler

History: Following the Shmalkaldic War, in which the Shmalkaldic League faced defeat in the hands of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, and his catholic allies, and the Counter-Reformation, a faction of protestants expressed its will of leaving Europe and settling the New World in order to escape the religious persecution. This initiative was financially supported by protestant burghers and nobles, chief among them Frederick III, Elector Palatine, who even ordered his son John Casimir to integrate the expedition.
They sailed southwest and, in 1566, arrived at Buenos Aires, which had been abandoned in 1542 by the spanish following a series of raids by natives. There, they refounded the settlement with the name of Friedrichsburg, in honour of their patron Frederick III. John Casimir would soon stand out as a leader among them, being appointed Governor, but - having been a staunch calvinist in real life - had to give in to the demands of lutheran and jewish settlers and be more religiously tolerant in order to remain in power. This would result in his marriage with Elisabeth of Saxony, a lutheran, being a more stable one and giving him a surviving male successor, Karl Eberhard.
After negotiating peace with the natives and setting up some buildings, agriculture and cattle herding, envoys departed to the Holy Roman Empire with the news in order to bring back more colonists. It did not take long for the spanish to raid the settlement. While the settlers managed to stand their ground, this event would result in the loss of lives, damage to buildings and cattle escaping and giving origin to wild cattle, which would be later herded by gauchos in the Pampas. These raids would become more rare towards the end of the 16th century, when Spain became busy with the Eighty Years' War, War of Portuguese Succession and Anglo-Spanish War. The following period was one of growth for Friedrichsburg, with the arrival of new waves of colonists. Soon, new villages would be founded along the shores of River Plate and the Paraná and Uruguay rivers. This period of expansion would coincide with the return of John Casimir to Europe with his family, to serve as a regent to his nephew Frederick IV, leaving Friedrichsburg in the hands of his lieutenant Thomas Schlange.
After the death of his father in 1592, Karl Eberhardt returned to Friedrichsburg to succeed him. However, Schlange refused to accept him as his new overlord, sparking the short-lived Schlange Revolt. By the end of that year, Schlange and his supporters had all been dealt with. Thomas himself was beheaded for treason. As some villages grew into towns and became centers of their own provinces, Karl reformed the government's structure and in 1610 he was crowned king of Casimira, named so in honour of the founding father of the nation - and his father as well. Around that time, it also gained its first university.
The casimiran expansion led to many conflicts with the natives, which the casimirans managed through temporary alliances with tribes that rivaled the ones that opposed their expansion. Additionally, they supported revolts in the nearby iberian colonies in order to keep them weak. The conquest of Brazil and Uruguay by Great Britain in the 18th century was another bonus, leading to major victories. However, in the last half of that century, Casimira had to deal with its own internal problems. The flourishing of ideas from the Enlightenment caused heated debates in the government between liberals and conservatives, and soon they were manifesting through more than words, with street and tavern brawls and sabotaging of political rivals' property. At last, King Ludwig II decided to give in to the liberals before they rose up in revolt and this ended up with further loss of his powers or even his death, and thus he issued the Constitution of 1784, extinguishing a series of privileges of the nobility, splitting the government into three powers with the monarch as the head of the executive branch (although still holding some power over the other branches), reforming the educational system, consecrating freedom of worship, abolishing slavery, making the requirements for citizenship less strict and more.
The start of the 19th century was marked by the resuming of the territorial wars, this time against Chile for Patagonia - to which some of the government members objected, stating they lost their chance to finally have peace at all of their borders -, leading us to the current borders of Casimira.

I'm not the first one in this RP to make changes to history and name of the nation they play.

tbh, that area is far enough away that too much change is not concerning. For a second I thought it would have higher population, then I checked populstat and found how low twas irl ;U;

Yup. Even with that bit of Uruguay it doesn't reach a million. :c
I guess it only got there with some boom caused by european immigration in the 19th century.

I am a bit concerned about how carefree the travel is treated between the old world and Cas though, if your germans went there they would probably set up camp and sit there to stay, rather than sending leaders back and forth.

[Mesrane]

Alright, I'll begin a Scandy app shortly. Is it the Kalmar Union still or just the Kingdom of Scandinavia? And has anyone interacted with them at all thus far?

I'm back from my weekend away.

I'll probably begin posting soon.

Probably Scandinavia by now, was Kalmar, basically Gustav took over and put Sweden as the head honcho instead of Denmark. You can go further from that

Actually, the only time I mentioned a leader returning to Europe was when John really needed to act as regent for his under-aged nephew, until the time when he died and his nephew turned 18. By that time, John's son was 19 and returned to Friedrichsburg. And that's all.

Military Information: Due to the country's small population and precarious position, the Greek military has had to take unconventional approaches to the defence of the country. Hellas has a small professional military force (known as the Σπαρτιατικού Στρατός / Spartiatikoú Stratós or 'Spartan Army') of around 300 personnel, whom are extremely well trained and equipped with modern Prussian weaponry due to the good relations between the two countries. These troops are led by officers who have been drilled by Prussian professionals, further increasing their quality. There are also about 30,000 Greeks who serve in the more conventional army, which is known as Ελληνική Δωρεάν Στρατού / Ellinikí Doreán Stratoú, or the 'Greek Free Army'. These troops are less well trained and are equipped with older Prussian equipment, though are battle hardened and led by Prussian-trained officers. Furthermore, there is the 150,000 strong reserve army (Στρατός του Αποθεματικά / Stratós tou Apothematiká, 'Army of Reserves'), which can be called up at any time of emergency and are equipped with weaponry in order to fight any potential invaders. The Greek navy is mostly made up of non-military ships which can be called into service at any time, though there are a growing number of ships built purely for military purposes. Hellas has one ship of the line, gifted to the Queen personally by Britain after the Second Independence War, and it is known as the Aristotle.

Currency: Greek drachma (₯)

History: 1453 - Constantinople falls to the Turkish hordes.
1454 - Constantinople is reconquered by an alliance of Balkan states, Venetians and the Morean League.
1455 - Bickering between the victorious factions leads to an indecisive end to the war.
1459 - The short-lived Morean League breaks down, and the various members go their separate ways.
1520 - The divided Greek states come under attack from the Sultanate of Rum.
1524 - The Last independent Greek state - the Kingdom of Athens - is conquered by the Sultanate of Rum.
1590 - Under Turkish control, Greece undergoes a period of change. Turkish immigrants arrive to settle Greece, creating tensions with the locals.
1612 - Hopeful after the successful Hungarian war against the Turks, the First Independence War begins, with the Greeks taking up arms against the Turks.
1614 - After a long, drawn out and bloody struggle, the First Independence War ends in failure.
1751 - With the successful Mamluke invasion of Rum, the Sultanate founds the Free Greek Corps; several autonomous regiments within the Sultanate's army. These new regiments serve with great distinction during many of the Sultanate's wars, and are greatly revered as heroes of the Sultanate.
1827 - The Free Greek Corps, along with several other Greek rebels, lead a rebellion against the Sultanate of Rum, which would come to be known as the Second Independence War.
1828 - In dire need of aid, the Greek rebels ask their Christian kin in Europe for help against the Turks. Prussia agrees to arm the rebels, with Britain and France agreeing to provide tactic and diplomatic backing to the rebels and their new state.
1829 - The Sultanate of Rum admits defeat, and the Treaty of Budapest is signed. The treaty established the Kingdom of Greece as a sovereign state, granting it much of the majority Greek territory in the Sultanate, though the full extent of the rebel's demands were not met. In exchange for their support during the war, Prussia requested to have a Hohenzollern take the throne of the new kingdom, and so King Frederick's daughter - Princess Alexandrine - took the throne, aged only 26. The new Kingdom signed a treaty of alliance with the Kingdom of Prussia, and promised to protect British and French interests in both the Balkans and the Near East.
