*Tech level of the world is early to late renaissance

*The population is about 710 million

*The order of continents for the most populace is as follows

South America-240mil

North America-110mil

Asia-190mil

Europe-80mil

Australasia-25mil

Africa-65mil

*The pope and the holy see are still around, located somewhere in former Argentina

*Western Europe is lowely populated, with Eastern Europe having much of the population

*Germany and Italy are both mostly populated by tribal groups, with a few isolated city-states spread throughout.

[The Industrial States of Columbia]

The Fall and Subsequent Conflicts

The initial fall began with a limited nuclear exchange between the US and the Soviets, totaling about 400-600 warheads exchanged. The nuclear winter that followed was devastating, but not drastic on a grand climatic scale (Comparable to the year without a summer). The powervoid left by the fall of the two super powers was the first of two of the real killers. Without the strong guidance of the US or USSR, nations turned on each other as others struggled to maintain the peace both at home and abroad. Chemical warfare seered the land and poisoned the soil in places like Jerusalem , Korea, and Peking. In this chaos, disease mutated by radiation in Eurasia spread unhindered, killing vast portions of the populace that had survived previous conflicts and thrusting surviving nations into a global dark age.

History: The Republic's history starts only around 200 years ago or 500 AA (after Armageddon). The people of Carolinas had banded together forming the Republic of the Carolinas. This nation was a hotbed of merchants thanks to its large coastline and the favor of them usually decided who the elected King would be. In the year 530 AA, a invasion of Georgia took place followed by the invasion of Florida. These two wars were successful and expanded the trade territory of the increasing the already powerful merchants status. The peace was broken in 590 AA with the Caribbean war which culminated in the annexation of Cuba and the Bahamas after 12 years of war. The rest of the time up to the present was filled with various revolts, the grant of statehood to the conquered territories and expansion of the trading power of the republic.

Small history for culture purposes:
The culture of the Carolina's came out of a combination old Cherokee beliefs and some american beliefs that still were around after the AA. The primary beliefs to survive was democracy and capitalism. These combined with old Native American traditions, mainly Cherokee, developed the culture of the Carolina's to what they are today.

History:

Approximately fifty years ago until a Nigerian prince, one of the few who'd survived in hiding as rioting and famine overran the nations, united his tribe and several warlords behind him. Through a series of alliances and military victories, he was able to reconquer much of the region. The prince and his supporters preached of a return to the golden age of Africa, of past empires and the peace and prosperity enjoyed when the people worked together for one state. By 656 AA, his forces had reclaimed majority of the land once governed by the ECOWAS pact. They were able to leverage their acquired wealth to complete advances in long range archery weaponry. The strong, well disciplined and efficient fighting force easily to restored initial order and peace throughout their territory. In the face of intense economic and cultural pressure (and intense bombardment by cannon in some cases), the remaining warlords capitulated and the United Kingdom was founded in approximately 668 AA. The next 15 years, however, was a period of turbulence and often violent revolts as the prince turned emperor consolidated his power, creating a centralized government.
In 686, a new constitution was established and limited democratic freedoms were established, although the state was largely still an absolute monarchy. The aged Emperor died in 695, leaving his son, currently only aged 19, to take the throne of his father's empire. The young emperor has inhabited a relatively peaceful kingdom. His father completed a wide array of economic and social reforms, and many of the diverse ethnic peoples within the Union are happy to enjoy a peaceful life. Trade has flourished in the kingdom, and the kingdom's people have become renowned merchants and artisans. Many of the elite, however, are reluctant to submit to his authority. Other threats come from the eastern regions of the empire where, after centuries past of fighting, some still harbor anger and frustration over past conflicts, and ethnic tensions run high.

Ideology: Imperialism, Nationalism, Conservatism
Leader/s: Caesar Augustus IV, Censor Maximillian Tiberius

Population Info
Brief Description of your people: The people who describe themselves as Roman are old tribes in the area around Hellas who after discovering remnants of ancient civilisations whom they found to be Rome, have taken on their culture and their styles.
Religion: Roman Orthodox Paganism. The religion is based off what the people of the Roman Empire have been able to find. It is mostly based on old Orthodox Christianity, and has a single creator and God, known as the Father, however he is not almighty. There are also other lesser gods, some are old mythological gods but some are also various christian saints. The Emperor is also known as the son of the Father, and a living god.
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Main/Accepted Culture(s): Greco-Roman
Other Cultures: Various Turkish, Greek and Slavic tribal cultures

Military Info
Army: The Roman Army consists of two parts, the Regular Army which fields some 70 000 men who are highly trained and well-equipped. These repell barbarians at the border, keep the people repressed and conquers new lands if need be. They take up a large part of the Roman economy. There is also a system of militias, where the non-citizens of the Empire can be allowed in. These are however only raised in dire situations and are poorly equipped and trained.
Navy: The Navy has long been the second priority of the Roman Empire, but has as of recent seen an upgrade as the Roman Empire has become more naval. It primarily consists of transport and cargo ships for the Roman Army but also has a few war ships as protection, it plays a very minor role in comparison with the army however.

Other Info
Brief Description of your Economy: The Roman Economy is primarily agrarian, with great harvests coming in from the colonies in Aegyptus and also from the orchards of Hellas and Anatolia. Much of this goes to feed the giant Roman cities, especially the capital which has a population of several hundred thousands. There is also a large fishing industry and an intricate trade scheme whichs spans across the Empire and beyond, giving wealth and prospertiy to the Romans.
Goals: Expand the Roman Empire, and achieve the goal of their ancestors and conquer new lands.
History: After the Apocalypse the various inhabitants of the Hellas and Anatolia slowly splintered into smaller groups and isolated from one another, forgetting their old cultural identity and regressing back to the Dark Ages. However, after some hundred years some of the people in Hellas began excavating and found remains of an ancient civlisaion, the Byzantine and the Roman civilisations. They also found technological advances, and soon they adapted these treasures and began calling themselves Roman, and when they founded a new city on the grounds of where they excavated they named it Rome.

They took the old religions and based their government on what they could find of the old civilisation, and soon they adapted the language of the old Romans, giving up their barbaric tongues. And soon enough, with technological gains they expanded their realms, laying under them larger and larger swaths of lands, and developed a large trading enterprise across the Eastern Meditteranean, and eventually not only tradeships but war ships and the Roman Empire expanded by sea, with trade and consolidated by the sword.

Roman cities were established all over the Empire, however far from anyone can live there. Citizenshp is a privilige and given to those few who prove them worthy to the Empire, however to go from a barbarian to a citizenship. The non-citizens of the Realm live in hardship and opression, their life is not an easy one and their poverty is enormours, their life dedicated to supplying the citizens in the Roman cities.

Ideology: National conservatism
Leader/s: Leader of Texas, Ruler of the West, Successor of the American Kings, Lord Yalone Garder

Population Info
Brief Description of your people: Descended from modern day peoples in present day Texas and the surrounding areas. Most people are devout New Adventists, and are very conservative in their ways.

Military Info

Other Info
Brief Description of your Economy: Mostly Free Market. Though huge corporations, of course, no longer exist, large markets are present in many cities.
Goals: To unite the southern region of America under the Texan banner; to conquer Mexico, or at least stop the constant raids; establish overseas colonies.
History:
After the collapse of the American Empire in the late 20th century, Texas had gained independence. But the new nation was short lived, as the Nuclear War and the Red Plague had managed to cause the collapse of world civilization, with nations and empires crumbling one by one. For the next 200 years, people in the land of Texas scratched by, living as savage scavengers or nomads. Many people were traded as slaves back and forth of the Mississippi River.

Around 2300 AD (400 After Collapse), a band of tribal peoples gathered together to form a confederation simply known as the State. The State was an authoritarian government modeled after the old government of the former American Empire. After establishing a centralized government, the State flourished in the areas around the swollen Rio Grande for 200 years. In the year 2512 (612 AC), a fundamental change of state happened. A small yet organized coup had occurred, replacing the government of the State. The old government had been replaced by peoples known as Neo-Americans. They sought to revive the ways of dead American Empire. The Neo-Americans founded the First Texas Republic, a federal dictatorship, with God as their ultimate sovereign. Texas had inherited the prosperity, power and stability of the State, and thus was able to conquer much of the open wilderness surrounding the nation. Its swift rise to power, fueled by the bounties of the Great Plains and the sea, made Texas widely known. Many wandering nomads settled in Texas, adding to the capital of the country.

In the year 2686 (786 AC), a revolution happened. Many people, unhappy with their government, rose up against the dictatorship. After a violent civil war, the rebels won. They formed the Second Texas Republic, and made a theocratic autocracy. Though the leader still held much power, the people had much more say in the matters of the government. They could vote in members of Parliament (or Cabinet).

Today, in the 28th Century AD, Texas is a strong and powerful nation. Full of patriotic citizens and wide open spaces.... it faces a mighty problem. Its ever-growing population is putting a strain on the nation, forcing it to produce twice the amount of resources. Texas must find a way to increase its borders without angering the surrounding peoples, as well as appease its own peoples. Oh, and fend off raiders from Mexico and the Great Plains. Great.

[Glovania]

Generic Info
Nation Name: Haizhou Kingdom
Symbols: Flag; Coat of Arms
Location: Land around the Guld of Tonkin, and Hainan - as agreed with the OP
Homeland Population: 1,050,000
Imperial Population: No colonies... yet.
Capital City: Shangfei

Government Info
Government Type: Constitutional Monarchy
Brief Explanation of Government: The Monarch holds supreme power, and all power vested in other bodies comes from the Crown. The Monarch reserves the right to make all foreign policy desicions (war, peace, alliances, international treaties, etc). The Chamber of Representatives is a governing body that is in control of domestic policy, however all their laws must go through the Monarch, who can pass or veto the laws enacted.
Ideology: Chamber of Representatives are somewhat right-wing, as they are put in their positions because of their status beforehand (nobles, rich merchants, etc) and they want to maintain their power and not delegate it to the commoners. However, the current ruling monarch is somewhat more sympathetic for the people, taking what modern people would dub a 'left-wing' stance.
Leader/s: Queen Shoka Haizhou

Population Info
Brief Description of your people: The Haizhan people are similar in many ways to medieval Chinese.
Religion: Taoism
Ethnicity: East Asian (Chinese/Indochinese)
Main/Accepted Culture(s): Haizhan (Similar to medieval Chinese)
Other Cultures: None

Military Info
Army: 16,000 standing army, of 12,000 pikemen armed with steel breastplates, wide straw hats and other metal armour plating. 1,000 matchlock-armed men also wear similar armour. 3,000 Naginata-armed horsemen make up the rest of the army. 100,000 levied soldiers can be raised in time of war.
Navy: 30 Junks with sails and oars to power them form the bulk of the Haizhan navy. These Junks have a detachment of archers onboard with fire arrows, and one ballista each.

Other Info
Brief Description of your Economy: Much like any medieval Kingdom, the majority of the population work in agriculture - rice farming, mostly. There are some skilled labourers, as expected, but the majority are common farmers.
Goals: Expand into Indochina, and establish some colonies in the Philippines or Indonesia.
History: The Haizhou Kingdom was founded by Masai Haizhou in 253 AF (After Fall), and created the only source of order and protection for the people of Hainan. Quickly people began to flock to the settlements founded by the Haizhou rulers, wanting to escape from the madness and chaos of the wilderness dominated by tribes of raiders and bandits. At the head of their incredibly organised legions, the Haizhou Monarchs quickly swept across the whole island, uniting it in a matter of months. They then sent a large force across the narrow strait to the mainland, and continued their rapid expansion northwards, and west along the coast.

Although they achieved rapid expansion, the Haizhou rule was rather cruel and unsympathetic to the plight of the common people. They tried to get more power delegated from the monarch, but their cries fell on deaf ears. Each monarch was more than happy to retain all power to themselves and their close friends and family. The Chamber of Representatives was only created in the last 50 years by the last King, but even that is not very aware to the struggles of the people. It is comprised of nobles and other wealthy members of society: hardly those who are in touch with the everyday struggles of the people. However, the people are hopeful - Queen Shoka is a kind and fair woman and she has just ascended the throne, pledging to improve the lives of the people.
RP Sample: Several different nation RPs. These include the 1870 Real World RP by Shimon-Zhivago as Sweden, 1913 RP by Einsvarden as Sweden, 1982 Cold War RP by Waztaskio as an AH Canada, and several others I fail to recall.

An NPC for Rylonia, the Frontier, and America.

Las Ciudades Libres- The Free Cities. Dozens of independent and warring towns and cities each with their own principe or rey (Prince and King in Spanish, let's just go with that as I'm fairly sure most of us have no idea how Spanish will evolve). Some are closely tied to America in trade, others, namely the coastal ones, turn to state-sponsored piracy to fill their treasury. Raids are carried out across the Pacific Coast, recently venturing into the heart of Rylonia and the Andean Cities.

Anything more to add?

Many of the core population is a mixture of Aztec and Mexican, while the other outlaying provinces are the American and Native Americans that have inhabit the lands after the bombs fell. The majority of the Frontier is similar to the Wild West since the vast landscape is pretty untamed even though the Empire holds the lands, this made the Empire allow the citizens to wield their own guns and allow the Rule of the Gun in many local governments and wild west shootouts and duels are legal but under stipulations by the Rangers in the region. Their people are generally acceptable and tolerate to strangers and of other religions for their is no state religion in the Frontier.

They are trained in many things but they pride themselves as cavalrymen and stealth fighters, using skills used by Native Americans and expert horsemen who are trained to shoot from most angles of a horse while riding, or so the story goes. These men and women of the Frontier are sent to the borders of the Empire to help protect from hostile forces and help govern the local regions of the Empire by being divided in orders called the Frontier Watches, which help with local militias in time of need when not at war or to become the first and foremost active fighting force when war strikes upon them. A total of 50,000 Rangers and can call on more from the militias in times of war.

Other Info
Brief Description of your Economy: It is majority agriculture while major cities have gone through the means of industrialization in their own renaissance way. Their is no slavery in the Empire because they do not see the use of slaves in their fields and the Empire is to wild for them to keep a control of a slave population in the beginning. Gunsmithing, blacksmithing, and mining are the biggest and most prosperous industries in the Empire for their lands are rich with metals and minerals for their guns and people need guns. This is also su[[lied by a large agriculture and horse breeding that allows for fast supply of resources around the Empire and be able to have a rising and strong economy that it can compete with other powers around itself.
Goals: To expand the empire, secure trade among neighbors, continue industrialization, reunite Mexico
History: When the nukes fell, many of them did not damage Mexico that badly, actually it survived pretty well and it made it easier to repopulate the land, though the disease was able to ravage them but it seem to not stopped them. Many of them had hid in the old Aztec temples and monuments that they had help from the Aztecs who had survived by going near the old temples and villages that they called home. They helped forged the first Frontier Empire by helping the survivors in Mexico become the Frontier Rangers and to go secure Mexico once again. What the first Rangers had found was that their once great home had become like the wild west and had criminal gangs and cartels running amok. They established the Empire during this time( which was 200 After the Fall) that was for the protection of the common people and to unite Mexico again in a different light.

Their struggle lasted for thirty years but they had done it for the most part but only central and northern Mexico and they did not have the manpower at the time to continual down, so they start to move into the Southwest United States and found the remnants of the Americans and added them to the Empire in peaceful means. During this time they had made the Western Concordance and had outlawed slavery when they believed that the Empire was" to wild for any need of slaves and the Empire does not need the use in the past and it shall not need it now" this statement had showed that the Empire then and now was a complete wild west that gave in to some of the laws of the west but with their own goals in mind. When they had figure out how to make the primitive guns again then it became one of the largest enterprises that the Empire had for gunfights and dueling had became a norm right after the use of the matchlock and the flintlock had made things more like the wild west but the Empire kept things some of the wild west tame in some way or form since it is different among the different regions of the Empire.

Right now, the Empire is looking to united the rest of Mexico and even looking at their neighbors for various reasons, though it depends on what happens around the Empire for it can change as much as the Frontier usually does.

History:
After the Collapse, the economy of Tennessee fell. Memphis was thrown in anarchy for a long period of time. Untouched by the bombs, and relatively unscathed by the plague, Memphis was a significant destination for refugees.

After centuries of general lawlessness, an armed group of strangers came in from the north. They declared themselves to be "freedom fighters" and "bringers of democracy". After a skirmish, the armed group overpowered the scraggly gangs of Memphas, and they soon had complete control. They established a representative democracy and outlawed slavery, believing it to be evil. Thousands of escaped slaves, from Texas and Carolina, flocked into the city.

Today Memphas serves as a crossroads between the East and the West, as it is the only civilized stop for miles beyond the Wilds. Traders come from across America to set up in Memphas, and this has contributed greatly to its reputation. Many nations both like and hate Memphas, and for different reasons.
