@Neo, reserved, though I'd much prefer you to take more overseas colonies (India needs partitioners, for example) and maybe look at normalising borders in Europe; Wallonia speaks French, Navarre doesn't. But fine on the whole.

I wasn't sure who claimed what during the massive map upload a moment ago, so I'll go and revise the map.

In North Africa, maybe just take either Morocco or Algeria minus the Sahara, instead of a strip of both? Could that work?

I won't be able to post a full map of HRE claims until tomorrow, but roughly it's pre-WW1 Germany + Belgium + Netherlands + Austrian-controlled Italy (prior to it's loss and not including Venice).

Also, any French speaking parts go to France, excluding Alsace-Lorraine.

Description of Culture: The People of Nouvelle France are very French in culture, faith and so on. Ever since the successful rebellion of 1775 (The Nouvelle Francais Rebellion) the peoples of the nation have stuck to their French roots in cuisine, religion and so forth. The Republican Ideals of the nation however, have changed traditions slightly here and there. Though the official language is "French" there are two slight variations to the mother tongue spoken in La France. The first is Quebecois, spoken in all the regions of "Canada Francais" the second is Mississippi French, spoken in French Louisiana. However, for diplomacy and other official business the proper French tongue must be used. With the arrival of other nationalities to the nation; big cities like Quebec, Montreal, New Orleans and St Louis are experiencing a merge of culture. Traditional dishes are being given new taste and flavour with the culinary expertise and mannerisms from the other nations are seeing some light as well. In the rural areas however, not much has changed.

Language: Quebecois, Mississippi French - collectively "Nouvelle Francais"

Religion:
• Roman Catholicism: 94%
• Protestantism: 3%
- Anglican: 1%
- Lutheran 2%

• Judaism: 1%
• Other Religions: 1.8%
• No Religion: .2%

Foreign Relations: Is rather isolationist but maintains friendly relations with other former colonial nations and the Commonwealth.
Military Information: Small, well trained and well equipped. Used mainly for keeping the peace within the nation and for a rather prestigious outlook - aims to keep up to date with technology.
Army Size: 200,000 professional soldiers. 150,000 take the form of infantry, 25,000 take the form of cavalry, 15,000 take the form of artillerists and 10,000 are engineers, field medics and so forth. There are a potential reserve of 300,000 men but these are rarely expected to be called upon.
Navy Size: 3 Pre-Dreadnoguhts and 18 Iron Clads, each well maintained and equipped that are stationed in the Gulf of Mexico, Arctic Sea and Hudson Bay respectively. The latter two are generally equipped with icebreakers. Several other ships, mainly small frigates of wood and such still are present due to the over abundance of wood in the nation - but these are generally reserved for the more Northern Patrols, where strong winds make their speed quite formidable.

Economic Policy: Protectionism; the Gov't firmly believes placing tariffs on goods that can already be acquired within the nation. This allows for local enterprises and businesses, as well as the foreign market, an equal and fair chance in selling their goods to the people.
Economic Situation: The economic situation is quite well. A healthy industrial sector is present and the goods exported by the nation are quite well received in the global market. However, the expanse of the industrial sector was taken with caution and so several loans are still needed to be paid back to the Commonwealth. The agricultural sector is, without a doubt, heavily important to the nation as it produces a surplus of food and exports these fine crops to other nations. As well as this, Cash Crops are grown in large yields - Cotton, Indigo, Tobacco and whatnot. Urbanisation has become quite more common, but many still live in rural lands. The major cities include Quebec, Montreal, St Louis, New Orleans, Detroit, Toronto, Chicago, etc.
Infrastructure: Most large cities are beginning to get railways connecting them - the most famous being the "Quebec/New Orleans Railway"
Imports & Exports: (Exports) Lumber, Cash Crops, Food Crops, Metals, Luxury Items. (Imports) WIP
Currency: The Franc (Fr)

History:

Nouvelle France officially began her life in the year 1601. The First French Explorers, led by Samuel de Champlain settled here and hoped the city would mark the beginnings of the French Colonial Empire. Soon, in 1603, two French Explorers (Louie et Clarké ) ventured south from the St Lawrence River and ended up in modern day Michigan. When they returned to Quebec with the news, letters were dispatched to France and more towns were founded on the American Continent. Three years later, both explorers sailed around Labrador/Quebec and found the Hudson bay. Once again the same happened, and once they returned to Quebec letters and missives were dispatched to France. By 1610, a "thriving" (As much as one can thrive in 1600s Canada) French Colony, named "Nouvelle France" had began encompassing modern day Quebec, Labrador and Ontario. With this thriving community, France continued to steadily dispatch colonists to increase her profits in the fur industry.

In 1654, French Colonist Henri Giroud landed in what is now New Orleans. This colonial endeavour brought with it the claiming of the land known has "Louisiane" by 1667. By then, French Jesuits and Colonists had flooded to the land as they built towns upon the Mississippi; like St Louis and eventually the borders were redrawn and "Louisiane" became a district under "Nouvelle France"

In the year 1770, after the French had successfully defeated the British in the "Seven Years War", the colonists of Nouvelle France became weary under the increasingly forced taxations of "Protection" from the French Crown. The voice of the People came in the form of Colonial Governor Pierre de Rigaud, Marquis de Vaudreuil-Cavagnial, a Canadian born man whom wanted to see France right the wrongs it had done to his people. His pleas fell on deaf ears. In 1771, he and several other important figures of the Nouvelle France Independence Movement signed the Constitution of Nouvelle France (Which banned slavery) and declared that their nation was in a state of war against the French Empire. With little support on the main land, the French Colonists resorted to allying themselves with the natives in the territory and peppered the French War Machine in guerrillas tactics, only engaging in proper European Style when they were definite they had an advantage. A rather horrible underestimate of the spirit of the Nouvelle Francais as well as support from the Commonwealth (Both Navally and Land Army based), led to the capture of Quebec and Montreal in the Winter of 73, before Orelans fell in South in 74. With the loyalists switching sides and the vast expanse of land being turned against her, France and her now independent colony signed a peace agreement, with France acknowledging Nouvelle France's independence. In honour of his achievements, Pierre de Rigaud, Marquis de Vaudreuil-Cavagnial became the first President of Nouvelle France in 1776 and remained so until his death 6 years later in 1782.

With a new found friendship with the Commonwealth that only strengthened over time, Nouvelle France began to gain a foothold in outside politics with the world. In 1843 diplomats were sent across Europe and to the East. Trade galore ensued and with such a mighty economy the nation was named "La Terre D'Opportunité" and a good amount of immigrants from Germany, Italy, Ireland and Poland travelled across the Atlantic in hopes of starting a new life, to leave their footprint upon the planet. In 1850 the "Quebec Orleans Railway" was opened and it allowed easy access to travel to the two most important cities of the Republic with ease. "5 Days!" they'd say, "5 Days is all it will take!" These were foundations upon the opportunistic mind of a noble people. Soon, before the dawn of the next decade were the countries many cities and towns united by a large railroad system that spanned the nation. It brought people closer and made travel much more affordable.

In 1876 the Health Care act was passed and the cleaning up of many great cities was done, regulations upon industry came next and vaccinations became absolutely mandatory for everyone.

Well, this should be done. (Hopefully)
I'm only not certain on population, cause, well, it's not a simple thing to calculate as well as other factors in play;
French sent more colonialists, native assimilation, etc.

I'm also content with settling some border disputes, officially cause y'know, HRPG Thread was unofficial.

Err, sorry, too big. That's like nearly 2 GPs.

It's also going to be über-decentralised and effectively be running a feudal governmental system, although I can definitely axe Belgium and Austrian-controlled Italy, probably the Netherlands as well. As long as the core of the HRE (pre-WW1 Germany + Bohemia + Austria) remains, I'm happy.

Or I could do a Dutch Empire instead. Too many choices.

Edit: Think I'm going to leave no reservation, go to sleep, and see what I can ram together with what's left tomorrow after I've had sleep. It usually works.

More info on government and some other little stuff. Basically fine though.

Also, thus far, I've ignored a few small border disputes. They're almost exclusively small border regions, so I'll just be compiling them on map in chronological order, and if some of the regions become and issue, I'll resolve it separately.
@Neo, fine, though New Zealand is Kalmar, as are bits of Africa (well, Commonwealth actually), and you could even increase your hold in Algeria.

Guys, please use Great Power - Secondary Power - Minor Nation - Microstate scale. Otherwise it gets quite confusing.

Name: Kingdom of Pontus
Symbols:

, The eagle, Waves
Claims: this which is basically northern anatolia + a bit of georgia, the creme orangish color
Power: minor power to possible secondary power

Government Structure: Absolute theocratic Monarchy. The king has several themes in charge of the provinces of Pontus and each of these leaders is seen to be ordained by the gods themselves.
Ideology/Policy: The gods wills are supreme, personal capitalism or the person makes his own opportunities, Equal rights for males and females, Traditionalist conservatism (to help promote Hellenic mainly)
Leaders: King Leon Pontus II
Capital City: Amasya

Population: 4.5 million
Primary Ethnic Group: Pontic Greeks
Minority Ethnic Groups: Turks, Kurds, Armenians
Description of Ethnicity: Around 60% of the population are considered Pontic greeks while turks take up another 20 percent, 12 percent are Armenians, 6 are Kurds, and the other 2% are many minorities
Language: Greek
Religion: Reformed Hellenic majority with minorities of Orthodox christianity, Islam around the kingdom and Nestorian in georgia

Foreign Relations: The Kingdom of Pontus is on neutral terms with most nations with nearly no allies or true enemies mostly due to her religion offering no ties to other nations
Military Information: The army of Pontus is renowned for their heavy cavalry though the foot soldiers are competent armed with breech loaders but the chance to adopt bolt actions has not come to Pontus yet. The navy is mainly composed of Galley type ships as they are perfectly suited to warfare in the black sea. The government has not shifted to ironclads yet as they are still unconvinced of its feasibility in the black sea.
Army Size: The army is made up of 40,000 men in peacetime divided up into 12,000 cavalry, 24,000 Infantry and 4000 artillerymen
Navy Size: The navy has 8,000 sailors at its command in peacetime staffing around 18 galleys, 4 Barques, and 2 fifth rate

Economic Policy: Low tax rates for citizens with higher taxes for non believers and non-citizens, rather sizable tariffs on goods coming into Pontus
Economic Situation: Rather well currently from the black sea trade. Most people are in the middle class and the wealthy do not seem to be losing their fortunes soon. The poverty rate is only around 8% and the government has no plans it seems to improve that as of now.
Infrastructure: The coastal areas of Pontus are rather well developed to maintain the rather vital black sea trade that Pontus almost lives on with some while the interior varies from place to place with some being as developed as the coast like the capitol for instance and others having only simple dirt paths in the rural farming villages.
Imports & Exports: Exports: timber, Olives, Silver, iron, fish
imports: Spices, Dyes, refined metals
Currency: Pontic Drachma

History: The History of Pontus first should be looked at the conversion of the empire to christianity. The roman empire took much less zealous practices in conversion leading to large communities of people following the old gods to not convert to christianity. One of the largest communities was within the caucasus and NE Anatolia. Next we must fast forward to the fall of Trebizond, The last greek kingdom in Anatolia casting despair on the greek peoples in Anatolia and brought about a feeling that god had abandoned the people to the evil of Islam. A political force emerged from this though and that was the surviving Hellenic pagans who became figureheads in movements to free Anatolia from the turks. Many greeks were swayed by these men and followed their movements and even reconverting to Hellenic after seeing the great strength these men had which they claimed came from the gods especially the primordial god Pontus who gave the largest movement, the followers of Pontus, their name. In 1472, came the first Hellenic revolt lead by the followers of Pontus against the ottomans but though it met with initial success, the Ottomans would defeat it within a year. Good did come from the war though as the ottomans gave the Pontic greeks more autonomy to prevent further revolts but this was a mistake which would lead to the creation of Pontus. In 1515, The second Hellenic revolt broke out while the ottoman sultan sought his conquest of egypt. Most the army was away on the invasion leading to great success for the revolt and eventual peace treaty with the ottomans creating the State of Pontus in Northern Anatolia along with several areas of the former kingdom of Georgia while also totally destroying the chance for ottoman capture of egypt. A loyal believer and leader of the followers of Pontus was made king and his name was Constantine Pontus, the Pontus being adopted by him as his family name. He immediately set about reforming the Hellenic faith as to battle against any christian influences reappearing and taking away his power as the king. He reformed the office of Pontifex Maximus giving a local priest the title and this among other reforms to the faith helped cement his control. The people of Pontus flourished for 20 years until another war came with the jealous ottomans lasting 2 years. The war was decisively won by Pontus when the main ottoman force was trapped within a mountain pass and utterly decimated by a smaller Pontic force. This event allowed Pontus to go on the offensive and in the end, the war stretched pontus to almost encompass all of its modern day territory. Several more wars would follow in the next 100 years with the two nation trading territory until Pontus came to its modern borders and the ottomans were almost falling apart. Years of peace followed for Pontus in which the arts and culture flourished under the watchful eyes of the gods. The last conquest in Pontus history was the failed invasion of Constantinople in 1712 by King Samos Pontus which ended in a tragic defeat when the army had reached the gates of Constantinople. A christian army had gathered to defend the city and even with great acts of valor from the Royal Cavalry, Pontus lost losing almost a quarter of her army. Pontus was forced to reel back inside her borders and the protection of Poseidon. The years up into today were rather uneventful after that with a few revolts here and there leading to more rights for the peasant class though rather reluctantly from the nobles along with mass conversion efforts for Hellenic to keep its place as the dominant religion.
Miscellaneous: the reformed Hellenic faith is headed by the Pontifex Maximus who resides In the capital city in a state of semi independence from the government. like islam, there is a special tax for those who do not follow Hellenic.
