History/Factbook:
Anglois traders founded a series of small colonies along the coast of what would one day become ‘Dentali’, there they interacted and traded with the native Dandran people. Ties increased over centuries and after the Anglois homeland was overrun they made this their new home, forming city states which frequently fought one another and the native Dandran clans. After a few decades they began banding together against outside ‘Barbarian’ threats, intermarrying and allying with one another and the Dandran People, forming a loose confederacy. Over the course of centuries they grew closer, developing a Constitutional Parliamentary Republic in the early 1800s.

Since then they expanded from the coast further inland, taking an isolation views on world affairs outside their island with the exception of trade agreements. A strong commitment to free trade and free market values has produced a great deal of wealth in the nation, which it has used to develop the country, becoming one of the first nations in the world to provide free education, social services, healthcare and many other social reforms.

In the late 1800s the large gains in land and the industrial revolution of which Dentali was an early adopter, began a drive for immigration. Dentali would open its door to all, guaranteeing freedom of speech, religion and a host of other factors many would be persecuted for elsewhere.

Dentali has opened itself up to the world in the past 5 decades, participating in global diplomacy more actively but still maintains a non-interventionist stance with few exceptions. What conflicts it has gotten drawn into are usually ones with a clear aggressor threatening global peace or Dentali directly.

Head of State: President Hannibal Svobodno

Economy Type: Free Market Distributism

Population: 72,000,000

Military Size and Description: ~2,520,000

The military of Ylevamaa is a flexible combined arms force of volunteer citizen-soldiers drawn from Cossack homesteads, mercenaries hired from exotic locations abroad such as Chuukango and Selaria, and conscripts levied from the interior Sami villages to fill in the ranks and serve as canon fodder. Unlike its neighbor to the south, Ylevamaa prioritizes cutting-edge technology, its robust armored corps, and its state-of-the-art jet fighters and bombers. This approach is rooted in the country's distinctive lack of warm water ports, and many of its commercial harbors are iced up for around half the year. A formidable string of bunkers, foxholes, artillery encampments, and fortresses lines the border with New Russia, and the military brass is ever vigilant of their aggressive neighbors. A doctrine of pederasty has been promoted among the officer corps since the late eighteenth century to promote high morale while on campaign and to encourage troops to fight harder to protect their loved ones. Ylevmi soldiers have been noticed to facilitate strange shamanistic rituals and blood sacrifices in the name of cruel, dark gods. Despite its cautious security apparatus, Ylevamaa has been known to align itself with New Russia when the advantage is promising enough.

HDI: .395

History/Factbook: The Grand Duchy of Vladimir-Sadova emerged in the early fourteenth century as a minor polity on the fringes of New Russia. It's difficult terrain and the hardy nature of its people made conquering the settlement and its surrounding hinterlands a taxing prospect. A civil war between Prince Oleksandr and Prince Valeriy in the late seventeenth century led to Vladimir-Sadova becoming a New Russian protectorate for around a two hundred years, but state of affairs ended abruptly when Count Emelian Syromakha toppled Grand Duke Kazymyr IV and established the Federal Republic of Ylevamaa. Syromakha was likewise proclaimed Hetman of the Klaukkala Cossack Host. In a series of blistering campaigns, Syromakha subjugated the local Sami villages over the course of two decades, finally uniting the north into a single federal state. In the early twentieth century, Ylevamaa resisted the allure of communism instead employing its ports to engage in seasonal trade, especially with Treka, New Russia, and Santamare, serving as a bridge between the communist east and hyper-capitalist west. The discovery of coal, gold, and petroleum transformed the minor state, defined by its stubbornness, into a second-rate power.

Map Claim: All territories north of New Russia.

Geography: The Federal Republic of Ylevamaa consists principally of windswept tundras and barren steppes divided by long, flowing rivers that freeze in the autumn and thaw in late spring. While the southern heartlands of the republic are fecund and suitable for the cultivation of grain, at least so long as one possesses the wealth to invest in the appropriate equipment, many of its northern territories are covered in permafrost that can't be breached even with modern technology.

Climate: Temperatures vary between mild in the spring and summer and harshly cold in the autumn and winter. Some of the lowest temperatures on record have been recorded in the tundras of Ylevamaa.

Status within the region: Despite not possessing quite the same status as super powers like Treka, Corusconia, Minachia, and New Russia, Ylevamaa has established itself as a respectable secondary power with a strong, modernized military and a robust free-market economy beyond state-controlled industries like coal and petroleum. It has imposed tariffs only as a retaliatory measure since the early twentieth century, with the economy ballooning as a result.

Capital: Kachanauga

Important Cities: Gilead, Shiloh, East Ridge, Everleigh, Harlan, Dahlonega, Hiwasee, Aquone, Canuga, Sheridan's Landing, Peak, Greensville, Acton

Government Type: Agrarian Unitary Republic

Head of Government: President Silas Haywood

Head of State: President Silas Haywood

Economy Type: Protectionist National Syndicalism

Population: 78 million

Military Size and Description: 640,800

Ocalousa has a robust martial culture defined by a long history of skirmishes and border conflicts dating back to the First Indian War in 1718. Subsequent outbreaks of violence between white settlers and indigenous peoples over land treaties led to the fledgling republic becoming a prime testing ground for early rifling technologies from Treka and Chuukango. An old adage among the inhabitants of these hilly woodlands is "a man either goes to the mines or to the army", and the military has long been a source of steady and almost respectable employment throughout the nation's history. While Ocalousa does not possess the manufacturing capabilities of Treka or Corusconia, it does produce rifles, light vehicles, petroleum, and communications technologies locally, giving it immediate access to versatile mechanized and motorized infantry, scouts, and heavy infantry. The country tends to struggle more with its naval power projection, its artillery, and its aerial forces, but efforts have been made over the span of the last two decades to modernize these by importing technology and doctrines from Treka, Corusconia, and Aquias.

Ethnic/Racial Group(s): The ethnic demography of Ocalousa is rooted in a series of migrations by Trekan, Irish, Chuukangan, and Corusconian settlers who set up a rich cultural tapestry defined by unique cuisine, dialects, and music. These new arrivals mingled more often than not with local indigenous populations, who spoke Iroquoian languages as a rule, and most of the population has some trace of indigenous ancestry within five generations. The importation of black slaves from Celaria added another layer of racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity to the nation. 73% of the population identifies as white, 18% of the population identifies as black or mulatto, and 9% of the population identifies as indigenous.

Language(s): English, Cherokee, Cree, Gullah

HDI: 3.95

History/Factbook: Pending...

Map Claim: Happy, Treka?

Geography: Despite having an easily accessible coastline defined by deltas, the Republic of Ocalousa is often popularly perceived as being dominated by foothills and pine forests. Two large mountain ranges, the Watalausee and the Alleghamy, rise in the interior of the country, with large rivers such as the titular Ocalousa River, the Lumber River, and the Drowning Creek snaking down from them. Industrialization around densely packed urban centers has led to the clearing of forests, providing a good deal of arable land, made rich by the dark black silt of the river deltas and alluvial plains.

Climate: Ocalousa boasts short mild winters and long, hot summers punctuated by intermittent rainfalls, most often in late spring and early summer. While the region has experienced substantial droughts in recent years, these have been mitigated by improved irrigation technologies and the expansion of basic infrastructure. It's seasonal climate makes it ideal for cultivating crops like cotton, indigo, hemp, and tobacco, and historically supported expansive plantation estates worked by indentured servants and slaves.

Status within the region: Ocalousa is a middling power and a rapidly industrializing economy that tends to appease Treka, Corusconia, and New Russia in order to attract foreign aid and investment. It's economy is far less open that many nations, a bid to protect burgeoning local industries such as agriculture, electronics, and vehicle manufacturing.

The conscription policy is put into effect once the nation wages war, with conscription age being 18. Training time for the officer corps takes at least 4 years, but there are specific quick courses that are divided into many months for time constraints and demand.

A warrior identity is often instilled in the soldiers of the army. An elaborate indoctrination campaign is part of an average soldier's training, for this indoctrination, the War Command utilizes an enhanced version of the Voronov Initiative, a military apparatus to ensure that the army meets the standards for war. Basic principles and concepts include Mission-Type Tactics, Kampfgruppen, Combined Arms Warfare, Maneuver Warfare, Zadrži Linijuyevka (Never Surrender), Psikholodrovka (Do not break), Hrabrostovka (Do not be afraid), Zashchitalëvka (Defend when necessary), Slavic virtues, and many more.

Map Claim: http://i.imgs.fyi/img/8pay.png

Geography: Half of the country (the entire northwest and northeast to be specific) is encompassed by the Shilov Plain, making most of it flatlands and fit for agriculture. It is where the breadbasket is located, growing majority of the country's grains, beetroot, etc. It is also the source of the River Pervomayvodsk and Adikakrovskiy, two major rivers. The former empties into the Huntzell Sea while the other one empties into the Noordbroeksterhamrik. The southwest of the country contains the Teryatansk Desert and the Cкелет побережье. It is the driest part of the nation and almost relies on groundwater, if it weren't for the major rivers that pass through it. Although the area is a desert, it has a variety of localised environments, including some verdant and technically non-desert areas. The Teryatansk Desert is rich in minerals and contains the largest rare earths deposit in Ulyaslavia. The southeast of the nation houses the Penzen Mountains, which is further divided into four areas, the Engels Range, the Atzel Mountains, Thälmann Peaks, and the Karl Range. The Engels Range is the lowest lying of the Penzen Mountains, to the point that the lands near the major rivers are barely mountainous, with lands further south lowering and lowering. This makes the Engels Range the industrial center of the region. It is also the primary distributor of the Penzen's resources to the entire nation. While the Karl Range is the richest of the areas resource wise, it is the primary source of aluminum, coal, iron, and copper. The Penzem Mountains are the heartland of major rivers in Ulyaslavia, with five of the rivers having its origin in the region. The center of the nation is characterized by mostly flat plains and gently rolling hills, all of the major rivers pass through this region, making it also fit for agriculture.

Climate: Climate in Ulyaslavia can be described as highly continental influenced climate with warm to hot dry summers and (very) cold winters with temperatures of -30°C and lower and sometimes heavy snowfall. The winter is mostly moderate, snow covers the ground from end October to mid February in some years. The mildest areas are along the entire Western coast. The Summer is mostly dry and sunny, sunshine may be nine hours a day, with local showers or thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. As almost everywhere in Ulyaslavia, winters can be moderately cold. The first Snow often falls in early October. Spring and Autumn can be quite settled, sometimes low pressure systems can bring frequent rain- or snowfall and strong winds.

Status within the region: Weary and suspicious of the outside world, Ulyaslavia has partly embraced isolationism. The leaders of the socialist revolution in Ulyaslavia have taken many measures to cement the foundations of a powerful working class that is free from the clutches of the bourgeois. This has often meant militarization and mass campaigns against the renegade classes. Because of this, the nation possesses a sophisticated army that is capable of rushing to the need of the homeland.

Role-Play Sample: In collectivizing the residual private land, the organized Red Guard will confront the landholders, transferring the ownership of the land to the the state. And if met with resistance, the Red Guards are authorized to apprehend them. Once done, the land will be distributed to the farmers and peasants residing in that area. Then, these distributed lands will be eliminated of their Junker organization and restructured into socialist communes, which operates more flexibly and provides the farmers with freedom in production. A commune is a collective which are cooperative organizations in which farmers join together to collectively raise crops on land worked in common, the farmers are paid in sustenance (grain, vegetables, milk). The State Planning Committee will also create machine-tractor stations to accommodate the communes with their required equipment in everyday labor. The expropriated assets of corporate giants like Siemens will furnish the equipment base of these enterprises.

Additional Information: Ulyaslavia specializes in the steel, iron, coal, aluminum, cotton, and grain industry. The Lysenko Biosphere gives the ecological wildlife mega diversity. There are also oil deposits south of the country.

The southern regions are vastly different though, as there are many hills and vast plains that go on for miles. There is also the occasional mountain or valley, which some in the south are featured as tourist attractions. Along the south-western, south, and south-eastern coasts are large forests that have been put under government protection as to prevent companies from removing the few forests the country does have.

Climate:Cold. The northern regions often get snow, with temperatures as low as -20 degrees. The south is warmer, with temperatures as high as 60 degrees and the once-a-year snowstorm depending what city it is.

GDP and GDP per capita do matter, for the purpose of economics. Just base GDP off of a country or region which is similar economically and then divide by population to get per capita.
HDI stands for Human Development Index, which is a measure of your nation's development and is represented by a decimal like .932. Like GDP, just base it off a similar country.
The issues with the rest of your app is your population (we have too many big countries), and the temperatures (I'm not even sure that year-long below freezing temperatures are possible, let alone on an island in the temperate zone.)
Otherwise, looks good to go.
