Hello fellow UV nations, this will be where we lay claims to the new map, which I will create I am Neo Phoenicia, and my map skills are okay I guess but I have taken up the reigns on this endeavor of ours. I'll do my best to make everyone happy with their placement in the world but... First, some ground rules: 1: This is a map of Earth as it is today, if you wish me to add landmasses where there are none I will (to my best ability), but I will not add water where there is none. 2: This is a modern day REALISTIC setting, with REALISTIC military sizes/populations and REALISTIC weaponry 3: Nations with prior claims on map 1.0 have precedence when selecting territories unless they so wish to change to a different area 4: The ic global population may not exceed 10 billion, so keep your populations reasonable especially if you're in a small nation (You do not need a large population or military to be powerful or influential) 5: Claims will have to go through me, and keep them within reason, ex: if you select Russia, or China you can't claim all of it 6: You do not need to claim an entire nation, you can make up borders if you so wish as long as you communicate where you want them. 7: If you wish to include a short summary/origin story for your nation in your app please feel free 8: The world is to scale with the size of earth, there is plenty of land to go around 9: Please resolve territorial disputes over initial claims DIPLOMATICALLY, this is not an excuse to engage in war 10: If you didn't already get the hint this is for United Valhaven ONLY
Areas formerly belonging to nations that left but whose land can be claimed as yours: Canada Pennsylvania, New York, Maine, New England, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio

by United States of Devonta
Required Stuff: Nation name: United States of Devonta Land desired: Northern South America extended. Like on the last map. Nation population: ~1,195,772,099 (2015) (Mainland) Optional Stuff: Nation Leader: President Josiah Jones Nation Government Type: Constitutional Republic Nation Military Size: 5,115,250 Active | 1,450,200 Reserve (Plans for restructuring by the end of FY2015 should reduce the Devontan Armed Forces a little) National GDP: 7.7 trillion or 7,770,000 per million of US$ (I usually use my extremely high NS tracker GDP but I have averaged the GDP's of the United States, Japan, and Sweden) Favorite Color: Green Nation Official Language(s): English (Others include: Spanish, Japanese, and Norwegian ) Nation Official Religion(s): None declared. (Most common: Christianity) Nation Cultural Breakdown: Based loosely on American culture mixed with that of western Europe. Nation Age: 244 years.
Additional Information:
Devontan foreign policy is semi-interventionist, though we always use diplomacy first, even during a war. We embrace free trade, scientific, and military cooperation with other nations. We do not discriminate based on the countries political spectrum, unless it causes them to mistreat their people or attack other nations. We have very socialist allies and very conservative allies to prove this.
It centers around a tight web of many allies who mainly are in the NATO like alliance called the IFC, though many are in the PCP or Santiago pact, we also have individual nations who are our allies. This creates a tight web around us that keeps us safe from attack. We engage in conflicts across the world, on a small scale using superior airpower and limited ground forces, with the help of many allies, large scale deployments are unneeded. We've been in at least twelve low to medium intensity conflicts (mostly civil wars on the side off our allies government) in just 2014 across the globe, won all of them with coalitions made up from allied nations. The most troops we had to deploy on the ground was 4,000-5,000 due to other allied nations cheeping in and my nations superior air power and navy combined with theirs. We can project power anywhere we want because we keep military bases on our roughly twenty six territories across the globe, these territories include our five commonwealths. Some military bases are kept in other nations.
Domestic policy in our nation is liberal to a point. Health care is provided by the government with input from the citizens being provided it and the employers, education standards are set by the the government and the states have to model their education after these high standards. Community and four-year college is free for those who have the grades and have not committed a major crime.
Gay marriage was legalized very recently in 2012 do to our constitutions heavy focus on equality. Marijuana is also legal and always has been. Immigration and tourism is encouraged and our laws are very laxed regarding this, it is relatively easy to apply for refugee status, even after the laws were tightened a bit do to convist terrorist threats. Religion is big, though it stays out of politics along with corporations because of our laws and constitution.

Additional info:
In March 23,1549, the Polonian Queendom was founded. According to their religion, the female was the dominant gender, therefore, every ruler has been a queen. The nation has always sought to be an industrial leader, military power, and world power. At the turn of the Industrial Revolution, the Polonian Queendom established itself as an industrial power and has not slowed down since. Regarding regional conflicts, the Queendom has always been there to settle disputes. All throughout its history, the Queendom has been a peacekeeper instead of an aggressive nation. Because of this, it has established itself as a regional power, if not one of the top powers of Africa. In 2012, a civil war broke out in the neighboring country of Libya. In an effort to keep the peace and support the current government, Queen Rana sent in troops to put down the rebellion. The war lasted three years, but the country that suffered the most casualties was the Polonian Queendom. The Queen was infuriated by this. She has repeatedly said since the war, that the Libyans should pay back the investment that the Queendom put into that civil war. The Polonians have tried to settle their problems diplomatically, but these efforts have been worthless and the Queen has stated that she will use her military might to get her way. The Queendom is trade partners with most of Africa, but lacks connections outside of the continent.
