1648 RP, After the Thirty Years' War (PT, OOC/Sign Up)

[Seven United Netherlands]

Bavaria?! I need to know.

Bavaria is not taken, you can have it if you want.

[Great Nepal]

Kingdom of Naples please. Also, app coming soon, so watch this space. app here

Nation: Kingdom of Naples
Capital: Naples
Leader: King Philip III (Louis will be the one who will lead the rebellion after some RP)
Population: 3,250,000 (just a guess since best I could find was plague killed 1,250,000 people in the kingdom in 1656: so it would have to be considrably higher than that)
Territories:
Information: The Kingdom of Naples, comprising the southern part of the Italian Peninsula, was the remainder of the old Kingdom of Sicily after secession of the island of Sicily as a result of the Sicilian Vespers rebellion of 1282.
René of Anjou temporarily united the claims of junior and senior Angevin lines. In 1442, however, Alfonso V conquered the Kingdom of Naples and unified Sicily and Naples once again as dependencies of Aragon. At his death in 1458, the kingdom was again separated and Naples was inherited by Ferrante, Alfonso's illegitimate son.
Essentially, after about two century: Louis de Lorraine, Duke of Joyeuse will seek papal recognition of his legitimacy to throne of Naples as descendant of King René I of Naples before forging alliances with powers of Europe and declaring himself to be the king of Naples.

Cool, app edited to reflect accurate population.

Btw, anyone wants to RP as NPC pope or should I rp the negotiation as both side?

[New Tebow]

Sorry I'm doing this but I'm too busy recently so Kohan can have Denmark. Agains sorry for the inconvenience.

Okey... Quick question. At this point, are Tuscany and Florence governed by different entities?
My knowledge of XVII's history is a bit rusty atm.

Well, as far as I remember, and as far as a brief glance through Wikipedia tell me.....for the most part, yes. Florence was under the Medici family, who went on to unify and control almost all of Tuscany for around what, two centuries? Something like that. They only lost power in the mid-1700s, when it got absorbed by....someone I can't remember.

You would currently be under the leadership of Cosimo III de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany.

Thanks for the answer! I'll fill in an app soon, or maybe tomorrow, depending on that little crazy thing called time.

I'm about to attack Milan, so if anyone wants it better say it now.

[Persia-Iraq]

I could attack with you. You want Milan, and I have my motives for helping.

Then Milan makes frankly no sense. It's quite a miracle if you care it exist actually.

Even more, I'M VENICE, you are not suppose to like me.

[Photana]

I'd like to take the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel

[Mishmahig]

I'll have a post up sometime tomorrow. Apologies for the delay.

Annnnnd then I get sandbagged by real life. So, post up later todayyyy. Anything anyone needs me to respond to that I might have missed in my glance-over of the IC?

[Sociana]

Nation: Grand Duchy of Tuscany (Granducato di Toscana, Magnus Ducatus Etruriae)
Capital: Florence (Firenze)
Leader: Ferdinando II de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany (Integrant of the House of Medici)
Population: 900,000
Territories: As it appears here
Information: The economy was so decrepit that barter trade became prevalent in rural market places. The exchequer was barely adequate to cover the state's current expenditure, resulting in a complete termination of banking operations for the Medici. Ferdinando was obsessed with new technology, and had several hygrometers, barometers, thermometers, and telescopes installed in the Pitti. In 1657, Leopoldo de' Medici, the Grand Duke's youngest brother, established the Accademia del Cimento, which set up to attract scientists from all over Tuscany to Florence for mutual study.
