Nation description (at least a paragraph, please): Lucamania is a small island, made up mostly of mountainous rainforest, with most of the population living in the coastal areas. Lucamania is a former (whatever nation here is closest to Spain)ish colony, gaining independence in the 1800's. The population consists of people of mixed European descent, and the native Arawaks, but the vast majority of the population is a mix of the two. The nation is currently ruled by a military junta, which allows the population to vote on many political issues, but refuses to give up control of the nation. It is a benevolent dictatorship. The nation has seen more growth under this regime, and so most support it. Lucamania's past is a story of civil wars, and genocide against the native peoples. In the 60's and 70's it saw lots of interference from (nation resembling the U.S. here) due to a communist revolution. Lucamanians speak Spanish, though English is also widely spoken, leading to a strange, yet high use of Spanglish. Additionally Arawak is spoken.

Anything else to add (optional): I'm one of those exceptions that have to be an island (Don't worry! I'm a small island) I have a shape that you can use. My nation has always been an island, and my former nation was an island too. One of the main reasons for this is being based quite heavily on Cuba. I'm not sure which of your continents represents the Americas, but I'd like to be an island off the Americas in the sub-tropical zone (Your tropic of Aquarius). Failing that, just an island in that tropic. I'm a former 'Spanish' colony, so do with that information as you will.

Capital: Sulaco
Government type: Federal dominant-party presidential republic
Nation description (at least a paragraph, please): The Republic of Costaguaria (Costaguarian: República de Costaguaría) is a democratic sovereign nation on the eastern coastline of Conitia in Esquarium. It borders East Cortoguay to the west, and the Lazerene Sea to the north and east. The nation is made up of predominantly ethnic Costaguarians, a catch-all term given to the myriad of indigenous peoples inhabiting the region during the early 400s. There is also a significant minority of Caucasians and Nautitians within the country as well.
The country has a rich history that stretches back to the earliest days of human habitation from the continent. Life has existed in the region since prior to the rise of Latin Republic, where a myriad of prehistoric tribes came together to form the first petty kingdoms and feudal fiefdoms by the early 100s. These kingdoms eventually united to form the Empire of Costaguaria in the year 412. The empire lasted nearly 1500 years, collapsing in the year 1892 following the Costaguarian Revolution. The Empire was followed by the short-lived Conitian Confederation, which collapsed into infighting by 1900. In 1905, following a conquest of the former Confederal states, the region was once again united as the Republic of Costaguaria. The Republic has weathered a civil war as well as a communist insurgency and has remained into the current day.
Costaguaria's rich economy is based on agriculture, mining, and resource gathering. The country being known for its rich eastern coastline and wealthy mines of precious metals and minerals.

This player could actually fit all the foreign roles I would like for my nation since there is a communist, and capitalist Cortoguay. Basically, in the mid 1800s, the newly unified Cortoguay would invade and I'd get my independence just before the turn of the 20th century (this is what I plan). Then, when Cortoguay split in 1949, the communist Cortoguay could support my communist revolution in the 60s or 70s, and the capitalist Cortoguay could support the Right-Wing government which was in power at the time.
I was thinking for placement, I could go in the tropic of Aquarius, between Conitia and Nautasia. That way I would be off the coast of Cortoguay. It would make sense because I would be between Latin countries, and what I assume to be African ones, so this is perfect for my somewhat Afro-Latin theme. As for English, I threw that in as a precaution. I will stick to Spanish and my native's language. Please do get back to me on what you think about this.

The title "Grand Imperator" do sounds a bit overkill to me, especially without such old canon that would justify it. I'd prefer you change it but I would have no problem if you don't.

Changing coastline is fine, but as others have already said your claim is a bit large especially for that population. Something around the size of, or even somehow larger, of Sjealand's claim above would be fine. You list a few languages that may already be used elsewhere and not neighboring you so you might want to consider removing some although once again there is no immediate pressure to do it before you're even in.

While I'm quite sure many would find a problem with a socialist nation not being a third-world mess, I'm all for more diversity in this region. Numbers are alright so consider your application accepted too if you still want to.

Nation description: Here's a couple of notes:
-This country would be formed by a migration of Celtic (mainly Gaelic, but also Brittonic) peoples (I'm guessing to flee the Germanic invasions in Nordania) that intermingle with the Koy-Ama/Tuthinan peoples (that settled sometime in the 12-17th century).
-Tuthinan influence is going to have a huge presence, with Cumria being an Imperial Tributary there.
-With the arrival of Tuthinan influence, comes the arrival of Kamist influence on Cumrian Christianity. Some of their tenets would be adopted by those Christians. On the same vein, there's going to be a branch of Kamism (practiced by a majority of the Monic peoples there) that merges most tenets of Christianity (and even worships Jesus Christ as the son of Konohanasakuyahime).
-Government-wise, it's largely a mix between the pre-1848 Swiss Confederation and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (with large heapings of Tuthinan influence). The High King is elected for life, and has numerous powers greater than that of most constitutional monarchs. There's also a "Council of the Elders" comprised of the kings of the individual regions, plus scholar-gentry (a holdover of Tuthinan influence) that elect the monarch from among the kings
-The countries two major languages are Cumrian (A Gaelic language descended from Old Irish) and ?? (descended from Vernacular Tuthinan). There are at least three other minority languages that are spoken by small sectors of the population

Using a name derived from a real life one or verbatim from our world has been done in the region and is perfectly justifiable (Luziyca, Teutonia, Koyro). It is not possible to "compellingly demonstrate" what you're asking for while outside the region. A trial period or something like this would be a suitable, sensible alternative. Objection overruled.
