[Maud]

Nation Name: The Kingdom of Maud
Nation Leader: King Richard Newbright
RP Population: 40,000,000
Military:
Total personnel: 900,000
Royal Maudian Army: 600,000 (including 140,000 Royal Air Service)
Royal Navy: 300,000
Note: No more than 2/3rds of my total Military will be involved in this conflict.
Military Leaders: 
Royal Maudian Army theater Commander: General John R. Steiger
Royal Air Service Commander: Brigadier General James Winkowski
Royal Maudian Navy Fleet Commander: Admiral Christopher "Tyke" Blades
Description of Nation: The Kingdom of Maud is a small Kingdom notable for its absolute Monarchy. The Royal family clings to the romanticized view of Nobility, warfare and has aspirations of Imperialism

Description of Military:
I have to come up with specific details for the composition of the military. However, you can expect a small Navy (combat power wise), a large-ish Air Service with mostly observation units (both lighter and heavier than air equipment), and a decent sized Army.

The Maudian military is largely untried, with the Officer Corps of each branch made up of minor and major Nobility. With that being said, many are not the finest tacticians and follow the strict chain of command. Some however seek glory at all costs. The Enlisted service members are mostly conscripted, though decently equiped and motivated (in most cases).

Tech will be kept within the confines of WWI and all that entails. I will post a detailed Order of Battle if I'm accepted. Don't worry, it won't be unrealistic, I'm just using my phone at the moment.

I may only be able to post once a day, but I will keep abreast of what's going on throughout the day.

[Mudejar la Vieja]

Nation Name: Kingdom of Mudejar

Nation Leader: Prince Carles II

RP Population: 48,000,000

Military:

Description of Military: Logistics wise, Mudejar supply lines are plenty and efficient, attrition from prolonged combat could be softened due to this. Since this is the turn of the century the MAF (Mudejarian Air Force) doesn't exist yet as an independent branch (it is still a novelty division within the Army), instead it is decent sized for a european nation of that time. The Army is "proto-Blitzkreig", what it lacks in sheer infantry is overcompensated with an iron tide of armor and strategical bombing from the young Air Force, not to mention the combat prowess the infantry has in urban warefare (the Isreali Army of WWI perhaps?). The Navy is relatively small but all cities have land-to-sea artillery/cannons to defend against naval blockades and raids. In other words: medium-small Army with tactical prowess, large armored (tanks) divisions, relatively small Navy and decent sized Air Force.

Ejercito Real de Mudejar (Army): 900,000 (380,000 in armored divisions, 120,000 in the Air Force)
Marina de Guerra (Navy): 270,000
Total personnel: 1,170,000

Military Leaders:
Generalisimo Nicolás del Valle (Infantry)
General José Torre y Tagle (Armor)
Almirante Omar del Alba (Navy)

Description of Nation:
Mudejar la Vieja is a medium sized nation that borders the Mediterranean. Centuries of warring between small kingdoms of different cultures and religions was unified under the crown of Mudejar in the 1500s. Within its borders Christians, Muslims and Jews coexist peacefully in a country with beautiful cities dotted by cathedrals, mosques, castles and walls remnant of it's blessed Iberian cultures. The days are long and sun-soaked and the nights are refreshingly breezy. Entertainment, wether its under the shade of an olive tree, the stone alleys or the open plazas, is never lacking.

The king Alfonso V is currently ill and many speculate that he is nearing the end of his days on the throne. Although his son Carles II and the military junta are the provisional rulers of the kingdom, the Prince is the figurehead of the State. Due to this shaky co-ruling of the country there exists rumors of a future coup against the Royal Family, something that could work against the Kingdom and the war effort.

[Abanhfleft]

Nation Name: The Free Land of Abanhfleft

Nation Leader: President Rufus Wole Mensah

RP Population: est. 100,000,000

Military: 7,800,000

Military Leaders: Field Marshal Loftus Kuroma, Fleet Admiral Younes Nafik Kabir

Description of Nation: The Free Land of Abanhfleft is a large island nation composed of dozens of islands located in the Pacific. By force both military and diplomatic, the tribal chiefs of the islands of Riuwiee and Releinthi, along with five other island tribes, conquered island after island and territory after territory before forming what is now the Free Land of Abanhfleft in 1790. The country was originally led by the seven victorious chiefs in a council, with each chief heading the council and the country for two-year terms. Eventually, in 1811, the country became a presidential republic, with the president serving a maximum of two four-year terms. Following a devastating religious revolt in 2008, the nation changed its official name to the Democratic Republic of Abanhfleft, and the president is now obliged to serve a single six-year term.

Description of Military: The Fleftic Army (numbering 7,000,000 men) was one of the best fighting forces of the 1910s, with Fleftic soldiers being renowned for both their combat prowess and honor on the battlefield. The Army also has a reputation of being a scavenger, and soldiers are known to attempt to capture as much enemy equipment as possible after a battle, potentially to use said equipment against their former owners. The Fleftic Navy (numbering 800,000 men), meanwhile, is small, but very capable. And while it may not have the battleships or dreadnoughts of the other, more powerful navies, it does have a large fleet of destroyers, frigates, submarines, and patrol ships that are more than capable of annoying bigger navies with their small size and high speeds.

[Ukranas]

Nation Name: United Communist States of Ukranas (UCSU)

Nation Leader: Glorious comrade #1 Commissar Alex Zandrov

RP Population: Somewhere around 1,800,000 - A small nation, about the size of Slovenia.

Military: 270,000 soldiers.

Military Leaders: People's leader Vasili Zhukov

Description of Nation: The UCSU is a small and mostly isolated nation, an island located well away from potential threats. Following a successful revolution (As well as several failed ones as well), the newly-formed government believed Communism was the best way to go. Of course, that never really happened. The crime rate is medium bordering on high. Police struggle against a massively outbalanced Citizen-Police ratio. The nation isn't quite impoverished, and its citizens are able to get by, but it will be one of the poorer countries in this thread. (For once, I don't feel like being an international superpower.)

Climate: During Summer, the UCSU is nearly a desert - Extremely hot with little-to-no rain. Inland is virtually uninhabited due to the scarcity of water. However, during other seasons rain increases substantially and is known to occasionally cause problems. Due to a lack of heavy industry, pollution and environmental problems are nonexistent.

Description of Military: A small, modest military. Comprised mainly of soldiers who receive inadequate training and equipment compared to richer nations. (I'll finish writing up the rest of this later - Sorry, but I'm going to sleep.)

The nation has a good trade with other nations. But should there be an incident or an act of war, The nation will not tolerate those who stand in its way.

Description of Military: Its military has a good standing. The Navy is not to be underestimated while its army and air force are among the best. Also, There are several battalions from the 5 Commonwealth that is under controlled. These increased the strength of the military.

[The Europan Union]

All accepted.

[Maud]

Is there a particular plot you have in mind? What is your end goal for this part of your Nation's history? I want to be as cooperative as possible, and I'm sure my fellow Role Players want to be as well.

[The Europan Union]

Is there a particular plot you have in mind? What is your end goal for this part of your Nation's history? I want to be as cooperative as possible, and I'm sure my fellow Role Players want to be as well.

The general idea is much like how World War I affected Germany in real life. Regardless of how the war goes, the devastation of it will cause much social change my country and lead to the creation of a fascist state from the old monarchy.

[Welskerland]

I am interested, but before I sign up, I want you to know my nation is landlocked, so I can only use the Army and Air Force for invasions.

Welskerland does have a Navy, but they guard rivers and lakes and are for defense only.

[Artstotka]

Nation name: The Democratic Republic of Artstotka
National Leader's Name: President Joseph William Fitzgerald
RP Population: 7,000,000
Army: 700,000 (National Conscription, 400 Artillery, 10 Experimental Horse-Drawn Tanks, 6 Divisions of Cavalry, 50,000 Reserves)
Navy: 100,000 (20 Light-Cruisers, 30 Destroyers, 50 Transport Ships, 80 Maritime Patrol Boats)

National Description: Artstotka is a small fledgling nation founded in 1702 after the colonial masters were overthrown, since then, the country has thrived by making use of the fertile forests & plains to secure a place in the international lumber and agriculture market. In 1867, religion was banned entirely and the government began cracking down on religious organizations in the country. The following year, the arch-bishop was publicly executed on the grounds of hate-mongering and the spread of intolerance.

In 1901, the Military underwent massive reformation, as the political skies darkened all over the world...

Welskerland does have a Navy, but they guard rivers and lakes and are for defense only.

If it's okay with you I was going to use a premade map. You can select a landlocked area though.

[Volantus]

So to join for population for this rp do you just make up the number

[Maud]

I should be able to work with that. I personally don't care which side my Nation's on, so long as we weave a good story - win or lose.

Welskerland, if you sign up and are geographically unable to transport your Soldiers, I think transportation by sea could be worked out with another Nation. Perhaps mine, depending on which side we happen to choose of course.

[Deathguy191]

So when does this start?

[The Europan Union]

I'll try to get a map up and then we can start.

[Kernan]

Nation Name: The Socialist Peoples Republic of Kernan

Nation Leader: Chairman James Stocker

RP Population: 69,456,000

Military: 3.9 million men (total, both active and reserve) Army: 3,000,000 Active and 500,000 reserve. Navy: 200,000 Active. Air Force: N/A

Military Leaders: General Klaus Vassilov is Grand Marshal of the Land Forces. Admiral Gregori Vandisev is Grand Marshal of the Naval Forces

Description of Nation: Kernan has had a very tumultuous History. Founded in the wake of a violent Revolutionary War its first President declared himself dictator, he was assassinated a short time later. This led to a series of Civil Wars as Kernan went from Fascist, to Socialist, then to a Monarchy then repeated the cycle. In an effort to quell the Rebellion's the leader at the time, Fuhrer Timothy Richards, split the country into three and gave each faction a piece. Kernan lay broken and divided for many years and was plundered by many foreign countries instilling a deep hatred of most foreigners that still permeates Kernan's society today. After years of division and conquering the Socialist nation launched a massive war on the other two sparking a new round of fighting. After a long campaign and three nuclear detonations the Socialist People's Republic stood triumphant under the leadership of James Stocker, a new but dominating force in Kernan's political scene.

Description of Military: Form the very beginning Kernan's Army was not a very powerful one. Its leaders were appointed by social status and wealth while it's men were neglected. It was the laughing stock of the region until the Fascists came to power, everything changed almost overnight. Instantly the other Generals were killed and new ones promoted from the few men that remained in the military. It also was introduced to a rigorous training program that helped form a bond in the ranks that usurped even the highest of authority. After Kernan's division the Army was to, split into three roughly equal halves and dispersed across the three nations. Old friends became enemies and enemies became friends, things changed fast in that time. It is reported that the other two nations let their Army slip into disrepair while the Socialists strengthened their army, building on the Fascist model. By the time the Socialists went out to unite the nation their army was the most feared in the region, its infamous "Human Wave" tactic won many battles. Now being in the military is second only to being Chairman and the grunts are one of the most well paid and well trained men in the country, ready to do battle at the slightest order.

With the new government in place the business started to corrupt and bribe their way to power turning the government into a corrupt capitalist solicit that let the rich have the power but still somewhat cared for the poor. barren landscape means that the people of this nation are very tough and do not die easily.

[Nocturnalis]

Nation Name: Kingdom of Nocturnalis
Nation Leader: Rhaex Harkon IV Kalistus-Rautio
RP Population: 41.6 million
Military: 250,000 active soldiers, 125,000 cavalrymen, 35,000 artillery pieces, small navy (<75 ships), moderate airforce (mostly biplanes and rudimentary airships), 6 million combat-capable citizens in reserve.
Military Leaders: Kronprinz Nicatorus Kalistus

Description of Nation: Nocturnalis is an absolutist monarchic state, founded in 1855. It follows a distinct branch of Christianity, called Lunarism, that combines ancient Noctish pagan beliefs with Christianity (primarily Orthodox Christianity). It's people are unified largely through a high sense of honor, though discontent has been slowly rising since the beginning of the 20th century. Even so, Nocturnalis remains one of the most conservative nations in the world.

Description of Military: Nocturnalis has a comparatively small active military force, but this is mitigated by the sheer amount of training that each soldier goes through. As well, Nocturnalis boasts an abnormally high amount of reservists, owing to a Royal Decree issued in 1861 that mandated a term of military service as a requirement for citizenship. Generals are appointed on a basis of both merit and political ties, and tend to value battlefield honor in the highest regard.

[New Besancon]

Nation Name: Aux Républiux du Napue Besancon
Nation Leader: Jaques Fonchésse
RP Population: 30,000,000
Military: 4,000,000

Description of Nation: Made up of the French regions of Nord Pas-de-Calais, Picardy & Champagne-Ardenne, this small country, has had a rather short history. Founded only 10 years ago, the country is militarily inexperienced. Although it lacks much know-how about wide-scale combat, the nation's military is well armed. (Actually, we were founded right after WWI, but I wanted to be in this roleplay.(｀・ω・´)” )

Description of Military:

Ground Forces: Consisting of 3 million troops, it's main infantry isn't really much to look at. Along with the basic role of foot soldiers, this group is also in charge of the Artillery Brigade. The army's tank force however in the pride of the military. Consisting of simply Renault FT-17's, the government spent an entire year of the militaries budget to buy hundreds of them. The tank force is the only branch that has fully trained soldiers/crew in the entire military.

Air Force: Lack almost any funding, the Besanconin Air Force is just a bunch of old, leftover French aircraft. It's small force of only 200,000, makes it difficult to fully operate the branch to it's full capacity.

Naval Force: Consisting of 800,000 men manning about 300 ships, it is a rather large force. But in battle, (unless supported by another country,) is would all be but destroyed. Many of the ships lack much firepower, and are usually really slow. Only the three battleships; The Halifêndue, Demanché, and The Îradinatere could hold their own.

[Exantos]

Question: Can we roleplay instead of as a nation, but as a mercenary force caught in this war? if so

Nation Name: Atash's Attackers
Nation Leader: Zahhak Atash
RP Population: 500,000
Military:500,000
Military Leaders: Captain/leader: Zahhak Atash, First Lieutenants: Phil Hogwire, Thomas fleece, Emile Hassil
Description of Nation: Atash's Attackers were founded in 1865. However at that time they were name Atlock's attackers as the leader was Atlock. They were employed by the Prussians in the Franco-Prussian war and helped develop the modern state of Germany(As in the modern state/1910 German state) After that war they were employed by the English to help quell a rebellion within Africa. Working there from 1885-1910 they helped quell multiple rebellions and have been acting as a peace force. However Zahhak has decided to move the force back into Europe to see if they could seek employment for what seemed like an upcoming war. They are now based in Northern Spain and have several bases in the Northern German state and the papal states.
Description of Military: The Military of Atash's attackers is a smallish standing military which is trained in combat. The soldier's are street rats, adventurers down on their luck, and the regular ol' Joe. However these men spend every waking hour either practicing combat, performing chores, eating, or spending some time at the local harem. These men are combat ready, and are combat scarred. They do not cower or retreat and they will continue fighting until they are over-run and killed. They are professionals.

Statistics of Military: We have about 10 Paris Guns(21cm / 24cm Paris-Geschutz) and 15 15cm sFH 13 (15cm schwere Feldhaubitze 13) also about 20 10.5-cm leFH 16 *
They have about 5 Anti-tank men per platoon of around 100 men. Anti tank rifle-Mauser 1918 T-Gewehr **
They men are each loaded out with a standard rifle and grenades, entrenching tools and bayonets. Mondragón rifles***,Model 24 grenades****,
Officers each have a pistol.Beretta model 1915*****
There are specialists for each group such as demolitionists, Machine gunners, etc... .******
We do not have a cavalry. As we have changed before the times and have always focused on infantry. While the First Lieutenants and the Captain have horses that they lead from only the very high ranks have them. Not saying they can't afford them, but they are just a waste of good animals.

However they don't gain tanks until the latter part of WW1 just as a sidenote.
