guys
wiki ploss
I'll try and get wiki pages up for all NPCs, but it would be good if you guys could do your own nation pages. It's so much easier to work things out when info is laid out clearly as on there.

I'm checking in it.

[Alleniana]

If you'd like to request the creation of a nation page, just tell me and I'll see if I can do it in my spare time. Please only do this if you don't have the info or time yourself, though.

Well I don't have capacity of doing a wiki page right now so help would be appreciated.

I'll see what I can do. I do warn you that if the volume of pages to do gets too large, stuff may get pretty inaccurate though.

Just copy the OTL Wikipedia page on Prussia for now. In that case nevermind. I'll do it tonight.

Could I convince you to either a. Retroactively include Bavaria and the Badens into my nation or b. Keeping each little Germany independent? Looking through the histories of other nations, most notably Bohemia (I shouldn't have to edit my history as he applied after me, and thus contradicts my established history rather than the other way round), I have come to the conclusion that these are the only options that make sense.

Would including Baden-Wurttttttttttemburg but leaving Bavaria aside be fine?

Not really, no. Besides ugly borders, it would not be historically possible.

Few things; no colonies, minor power, more detail on language, navy and currency. Oh, and you're Dwartzur? Hello!

Yes, it's a-me!

Application

Name: The Kingdom of Tuscany-Lombardy
Symbols: The flag depicting the Florence Lily, the Marzocco and the Biscione.
Claims: That piece of northern Italy.
Power: Minor.

Government Structure: The kingdom is a federal constitutional monarchy, divided into three provinces: Tuscany, Emilia, and Lombardy. Men with 21/+ years of age may vote to elect representants for the national legislative body, which is divided into the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, and for regional assemblies and governors. Executive power, on a national level, is held by the king, who is advised by a prime minister elected by the Senate.
Ideology/Policy: Monarchism, federalism, nationalism, economic protecionism, imperialism, welfare state, religious tolerance.
Leaders: Lorenzo III de' Medici.
Capital City: Florence.

Population: 6,907,800.
Primary Ethnic Group: Tuscan-Lombard.
Minority Ethnic Groups: Other italian groups, south german, french, spanish.
Description of Ethnicity: Name given to the aglomeration of peoples native to the territories that compose the Kingdom of Tuscany-Lombardy. They are very diverse in their opinions, and trying to fit them all in one description would be impossible. In general, they are proud of their culture, seeing how it has influenced many others, and many look back to the days in which Florence was a greater power in the Mediterranean, wishing for their return.
Language: The fiorentino dialect of the tuscan language, which was dissiminated through trade and the works of tuscan writers of great renown, such as Dante Alighieri and Niccolò Machiavelli, was established as the official language of the Kingdom of Tuscany-Lombardy when the kingdom was founded.
Religion: Roman catholic majority, with small pockets of jews and protestants. The government is secular and attempts to mediate tensions between the different religious groups in order to maintain national unity.

Foreign Relations: The kingdom attempts to maintain good relations with its neighbours, as it sees the presence of strong allies necessary in order to survive in the middle of greater european powers. It mostly keeps neutral in conflicts, since a wrong move in the game of politics might mean its extinction.
Military Information: The tuscan-lombard army may be small in comparison to others, especially with its volunteering system, though it may grow in times of war through the conscription method. Since the Napolean Wars, the kings of Tuscany-Lombardy have given the military extra attention, investing in its instruction, better equipments and the creation of new forts. They attempt to compensate for their small size through mobility and use of the artillery, and of diplomacy in order to earn strong allies to back them up. The tuscan-lombard navy receives special care, as they are in charge of protecting their maritime trade routes.
Army Size: 86,350.
Navy Size: 40 frigates, 30 corvettes, 25 torpedo boats, 12 cruisers, 9 monitors and 4 battleships.

Economic Policy: The government focuses on stimulating the national industry, giving preference to national products, raising the tariffs for importing certain manufactured products and lowering them for importing machinery and necessary raw materials such as coal, and granting a few subsidies. It has also sought to explore new resources and establish trade with the natives in Africa and Asia, seeking new markets for their goods.
Economic Situation: After having faced problems in the beginning of the 19th century with the Napolean Wars, and having been left behind by other european powers in the run for industrialization and the scramble for colonies, the tuscan-lombards attempt to recover the former prosperity of their economy, having met reasonable success in their industrialization and rebuilding of commercial networks. It can be seen as an emergent economy.
Infrastructure: Railroads connect the major cities such as Livorno, Florence, Parma, Modena and Milan with each other, and with the major cities of neighbouring nations. Paved roads connect most other cities.
Imports & Exports: The Kingdom of Tuscany-Lombardy imports mainly machinery, manufactured products it can't produce on its own yet, weaponry, coal, precious metals, sugar, coffee, tea, cocoa, spices and tobacco. It exports cloth and textiles, cosmetics and perfumes, copper, iron/steel, salt, art, cereals, chocolate and other foodstuff.
Currency: The tuscan florin was established as the official currency of the kingdom after its re-establishment following the end of the Napolean Wars.

History: In the decade of 1530, as Milan and Genoa turned their attentions to the war against Switzerland, the Dukes of Florence took the opportunity to seize genoan commercial routes, establishing Livorno as a great portuary city, making the Duchy rise in importance in the Mediterranean. It was during this golden age that the Duchy of Florence was renamed the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. In 1587, Franceso I de' Medici unmasked a conspiration to poison him and his wife by his brother Ferdinando, imprisoning him. Francesco's child, Philip, would survive to succeed him, ensuring the survival of the Medici dynasty. The wealth accumulated by the House of Medici during this time was invested in varied sectors, including the military.

Soon, Francesco would set his eyes on the smaller territories around Tuscany, and the war against the Duchy of Modena and Reggio began in 1602, ending with the Siege of Modena, in which the House of Este was subjugated and put into service of the House of Medici. In 1630, a plague hit their territories, taking a high toll on the population, despite the government's efforts to contain it. After a period of recovery, the Medici would turn their attention towards their expansion once more. In 1658, the Medici engaged in a war against Milan. Slowly, they made progress, and in 1664, the Medici and the Sforza signed the Treaty of Florence, in which the two houses merged through marriage, thus handing over the control over Milan to the former. In the early 18th century, the Medici consolidated their rule over their new acquisitions, founding the Kingdom of Tuscany-Lombardy, reorganizing the administration over the lands and suppressing small revolts.

In the late 18th century, though, the French Revolution inspired workers to perform strikes and riots, demanding a series of rights, in a movement that became known as the Richiesta. Soon after, Napoleon's advance over northern Italy crushed the weakened kingdom's defenses, forcing the Medici into exile in their villas. The kingdom would later be re-established in 1815 with the Congress of Vienna. In 1816, the government saw the need to attend to the some of the workers' demands in order to prevent events like those promoted by the Richiesta from happening again. Thus, the Constitution of 1816 was written, reforming the government, separating it into three powers, granting some privileges to the working class, abolishing conservative practices such as slavery and physical punishment, etc

Now, though, the kingdom had to focus on the recovery of its economy, as other european nations had left it behind. Soon, the government started to adopt protecionist measures regarding its economy. Expeditions have headed towards Africa and Asia, trying to establish some trade with the natives to help fuel the growing tuscan-lombard industry. This way, the tuscan-lombard people hope to regain the glory from their past.

Miscellaneous: Florence stronk.
RP Example: Some of you know me as Dwartzur.
