1: Your largest ship is a torpedo boat destroyer and you should be ashamed.
2: Best ship is an armoured/protected cruiser.
3: Best ship is a pre-dreadnought.
4: Best ship is a battlecruiser.
5: Best ship is a dreadnought, but you only have, like, one.
6: Best ship is a dreadnought, and you don't remember how many you have.
7: AIRCRAFT CARRIERS WUP WUP WUP

Short History of your Nation: Much of the nations history remains the same until1596 when the Pope rules in favour of the Kongo. Such an event prevents tensions from rising between the African state and its Iberian benefactor. Over time; relations improved to the point where a trade agreement was ratified. This treaty gave numerous concessions to the Portuguese in exchange for sending European experts to modernise the kingdom. The influx of new technologies results in a population boom. Once a sparsely populated region, the Kongo soon had a surplus of manpower and began to conquer more territory. Vast amounts of resources eventually attracted investors and businessmen in droves. These very same groups would go on to build an unprecedented amount of infrastructure and shoot the lucky state into successful Westernisation. The Kongo was renamed Zaire in 1903 and continues to maintain a strong position in central Africa to this day.
Short Description of your nation: A cautious nation with dreams of continental dominance

Ahem. Me attempting to redeem myself at mathematics calculation. I believe your GDP values are as follows.

GDP Per capita: $37,300
Total GDP: $353,537,083,800

Any one else confirm?

With his pop rounded down to 90 mil as per Economy Rules, this means he has 1,865 per point. Multiply by 20.

Per Capita: 37,300

CORRECT! GOLDEN STAR!

Multiply his population, 94,782,036, by 37,300, and get 3,535,369,942,800. 3.5 trillion.

Short History of your Nation:
During the 16th and 17th centuries, Scotland and France grew closer and closer. First they were united as a personal union; then they became formally unified under Louis XIV. In the 1760s, a revolt broke out that turned into a full-blown revolution when it was poorly suppressed. The resultant republic, however, did not ditch the Scots like so much excess baggage; instead they retained the Highland nation. While the first 50 years of the Republic's existence was peaceful, they entered into a minor civil war around 1810. This being resolved, a couple decades later, France began to expand. It started by annexing the Benelux and Ireland; in 1850, it reclaimed Haiti, and in 1853, French Guyana. Then, during the 1870s and 80s, it annexed the swathe of Sahara between Algeria and Senegal. Though France has remained dormant since then due to financial troubles, since the recovery of the early 1900s, it looks outwards once again.

France's alliance with Persia dates to the 1880s, and is the most visible part of the Persian quest for European technology and information in the course of modernization. In 1913, with the development of vehicles in military applications, Persia and France set up L'ecole Nationale des Vehicles Blindees, or "National Armoured Vehicle School", in Algeria. The Franco-Persian troops stationed there are some of the best the two militaries have to offer.

Short Description of your nation: Progressist republic that isn't so much concerned with regicide as it is with being the best. Secretly, France is America in this timeline. Don't tell ANYONE.
RP example (For nations exceeding 100 million people): BIPCHES

General population's view on gay rights/gay people: It's a fairly progressive society, but... not that progressive. Being gay isn't illegal, it's just shunned. So, like, nobody's gonna torch your house, but you'll get weird looks in the street, people will avoid you... there's a certain stigma against it.
General population's view on religions other than the primary one: Atheism is theoretically mandatory. It's not actually mandatory. This has made Catholicism the punk subculture of this France.
General population's view on atheism: See above.
General population's view on abortion: That's some weird-ass shit, yo.*
View on other races/ethnic groups other than the primary one(s): We're the best, fuck your couch, the Scots are okay too, I guess.*
Status of religion in politics: One enormous gag order.
Any big prejudices in your nation (widespread discrimination against a particular group, linguistic conflict, etc): The Dutch are viewed with some suspicion. People speaking Dutch in public are likely to be confronted by local gendarmes.
View on immigration into country: People are more than free to come to France, so long as they learn French and assimilate. (Sound familiar? It should.)
View on emigration out of country (Also, how many people emigrate per year?): Few people emigrate out of the country except the Dutch. However, the Scottish settlements in Africa and the Dutch ones in Guyana are popular internal emigration destinations. There's maybe 2,000 Dutchmen who leave each year- a slow trickle.
Women's Rights: Women gained suffrage very early in post-Revolutionary French history, in 1821. It was shocking at the time. They still are unable to do all the same jobs as men, though, and are typically paid quite a bit less.
Views on tobacco/alcohol/pot/other drugs: Probably legal.
Top 3 exports: Machinery (inc. automobiles), Alcohol, textiles
Top 3 imports: Rubber, phosphates, oil

*Translated loosely from French.

Sounds good.

I also plan on having Persia do what Japan did and start improving on European military tech that it aquires.

Short History of your Nation:

Following the end of Norwegian rule in Iceland, replaced by a Danish royal in the 14th century, extremely monopolistic and protectionist economic practice by the Danish throne led to reactionary action by the Icelandic population against the Danish throne. With the peaceful conversion of the population to Icelandic Lutheranism by the mid 16th century, the Danish crown became pacified as to Iceland's intentions regarding independence. However, the hyper-rational and nationalist ideals held by the Church of Iceland led to forceful rebellion against Danish soldiers, with the Icelandic provincial Althingi petitioning Denmark for demilitarization in the region. The unarmed Icelandics were marginally effective against the better armed but inactive and much-reduced Danish garrisons, overthrowing the Danes with Danish withdrawal when the start of the Mist Hardships in 1783 led to agricultural failure. With the new independence from Denmark, the Althingi quickly put resources using captured Danish assets into international investments and buying government credit, having no debt of their own due to their new incorporation. The small Icelandic rebel army was disbanded and turned to a group of volunteers assisting civilians in need during the serious natural disasters such as the eruption of Mount Laki, to this day one of the world's best-trained specialist emergency forces, with its capacity as a national security force never replaced.

With the incredible recovery from the Mist Hardships, the Icelandic government was left capable of paying off debts incurred by equipping its emergency force with uniforms, horses, and storage facilities, as well as food aid, and invested in international government debt, giving it considerable international assets through a renaissance in Icelandic art and literature, leading to the two Icelandic Universities at the time gaining sudden international interest, becoming centers of learning and intellectual property output - Iceland becoming one of very few nations in the world to build itself up on the wealth of art and culture it produced through these two universities, now wielding huge amounts of power in the Althingi.

Short Description of your nation: Iceland bitch
Iceland is a small island nation next to Greenland. Having claimed its freedom from Denmark with the assimilation of Denmark into the German state, the Icelandic legislature - the Althingi (All-People's group) - formulated a new constitution, instituting a constitutional monarchy, with the first King being elected to lead the Althingi as a functional president and speaker of the house. The current head of the Althingi is theologian Asgeir Asgeirsson, first of his bloodline to run the Althingi. The Althingi is mainly made of the intellectual elite, with all three Icelandic universities holding strong sway on the Althingi, which is elected by the 6 electoral constituencies. The representatives for the three universities' respective constituencies are generally members of the university faculty or noted alumni, with Asgeirsson having graduated with honors in theology from the University of Iceland.

The Icelandic economy is mainly based on fishing and agriculture as far as goods export, with its universities being world-class and centers of research. International Icelandic financial assets, particularly in the global shipping industry, are also key in the flow of money into the nation, with relatively low tax rates leading to large quantities of money changing hands within Icelandic banking institutes, and relatively low tariffs making Iceland a surprisingly viable port of call for shipping crossing the Atlantic, particularly from Scandinavia or north/east Europe into the northern parts of north America.

General population's view on gay rights/gay people: Destructive to the nation's stability and putting the nation at needless risk - populate or perish. Foreigners are however completely acceptable.
General population's view on religions other than the primary one: That's up to you - the Icelandic take a typically logical viewpoint on the matter and reason that one should only interfere in religious matters if invited to or on behalf of a dependent. If it is a dependent, however, most families will take the time to...show the dependents the right path, with words or the whip.
General population's view on atheism: How very post-modern. What a curious belief-system.
General population's view on abortion: Again, destructive to the human race - the removal of potential.
View on other races/ethnic groups other than the primary one(s): Probably violent militant racists. We'll bring them in with open arms and try to reason with them but if they try spreading their barbarian beliefs to us there is no choice but to picket them and shout profanities in their direction.
Status of religion in politics: As long as they're of a relatively major and moderate religion, they probably have an agreeable, reasoned moral code. The amount of reason in their religious practice can quickly be ascertained by their education level - a good Icelandic university graduate has a far superior moral system to a simple clergymember, because while they may do the same thing, a graduate understands his actions better. An atheist on the other hand is unpredictable.
Any big prejudices in your nation (widespread discrimination against a particular group, linguistic conflict, etc): Foreign servicemen are murderers. Abortionists are murderers. Sports hunters are murderers. Murderers must be ostracized and rehabilitated through internal reflection. Those who do not achieve well in school and do not go on to tertiary education are holding their country down and must be subordinated to those who actually work for the country's benefit - they will earn their social welfare by serving the intelligentsia and the organized facilities of the Althingi and the affiliated tertiary institutions. Those who do not speak Icelandic at a native level are uneducated fools. Those who speak German as a first language and are of German descent are probably militant pro-colonialists who are anti-education and therefore anti-Althingi, therefore those who associate with them must be protected from such evil militant foreign influence. Icelandic people are scared of guns and military uniforms - they remind them of tyranny and colonialism.
View on immigration into country: Very very good
View on emigration out of country (Also, how many people emigrate per year?): Traitors to the crown and country; murder-loving, violent, hateful people who are a detriment to the human race. Emigration out of the country is minimal, due to cultural stigma and high approval ratings, as well as the availability of high-income jobs in the financial sector appropriate for the education available.

The unarmed Icelandics were marginally effective against the better armed but inactive and much-reduced Danish garrisons, overthrowing the Danes with Danish withdrawal when the start of the Mist Hardships in 1783 led to agricultural failure. With the new independence from Denmark, the Althingi quickly put resources using captured Danish assets into international investments and buying government credit, having no debt of their own due to their new incorporation. The small Icelandic rebel army was disbanded and turned to a group of volunteers assisting civilians in need during the serious natural disasters such as the eruption of Mount Laki, to this day one of the world's best-trained specialist emergency forces, with its capacity as a national security force never replaced.

With the incredible recovery from the Mist Hardships, the Icelandic government was left capable of paying off debts incurred by equipping its emergency force with uniforms, horses, and storage facilities, as well as food aid, and invested in international government debt, giving it considerable international assets through a renaissance in Icelandic art and literature, leading to the two Icelandic Universities at the time gaining sudden international interest, becoming centers of learning and intellectual property output - Iceland becoming one of very few nations in the world to build itself up on the wealth of art and culture it produced through these two universities, now wielding huge amounts of power in the Althingi.

Short Description of your nation: Iceland bitch
Iceland is a small island nation next to Greenland. Having claimed its freedom from Denmark with the assimilation of Denmark into the German state, the Icelandic legislature - the Althingi (All-People's group) - formulated a new constitution, instituting a constitutional monarchy, with the first King being elected to lead the Althingi as a functional president and speaker of the house. The current head of the Althingi is theologian Asgeir Asgeirsson, first of his bloodline to run the Althingi. The Althingi is mainly made of the intellectual elite, with all three Icelandic universities holding strong sway on the Althingi, which is elected by the 6 electoral constituencies. The representatives for the three universities' respective constituencies are generally members of the university faculty or noted alumni, with Asgeirsson having graduated with honors in theology from the University of Iceland.

The Icelandic economy is mainly based on fishing and agriculture as far as goods export, with its universities being world-class and centers of research. International Icelandic financial assets, particularly in the global shipping industry, are also key in the flow of money into the nation, with relatively low tax rates leading to large quantities of money changing hands within Icelandic banking institutes, and relatively low tariffs making Iceland a surprisingly viable port of call for shipping crossing the Atlantic, particularly from Scandinavia or north/east Europe into the northern parts of north America.

General population's view on gay rights/gay people: Destructive to the nation's stability and putting the nation at needless risk - populate or perish. Foreigners are however completely acceptable.
General population's view on religions other than the primary one: That's up to you - the Icelandic take a typically logical viewpoint on the matter and reason that one should only interfere in religious matters if invited to or on behalf of a dependent. If it is a dependent, however, most families will take the time to...show the dependents the right path, with words or the whip.
General population's view on atheism: How very post-modern. What a curious belief-system.
General population's view on abortion: Again, destructive to the human race - the removal of potential.
View on other races/ethnic groups other than the primary one(s): Probably violent militant racists. We'll bring them in with open arms and try to reason with them but if they try spreading their barbarian beliefs to us there is no choice but to picket them and shout profanities in their direction.
Status of religion in politics: As long as they're of a relatively major and moderate religion, they probably have an agreeable, reasoned moral code. The amount of reason in their religious practice can quickly be ascertained by their education level - a good Icelandic university graduate has a far superior moral system to a simple clergymember, because while they may do the same thing, a graduate understands his actions better. An atheist on the other hand is unpredictable.
Any big prejudices in your nation (widespread discrimination against a particular group, linguistic conflict, etc): Foreign servicemen are murderers. Abortionists are murderers. Sports hunters are murderers. Murderers must be ostracized and rehabilitated through internal reflection. Those who do not achieve well in school and do not go on to tertiary education are holding their country down and must be subordinated to those who actually work for the country's benefit - they will earn their social welfare by serving the intelligentsia and the organized facilities of the Althingi and the affiliated tertiary institutions. Those who do not speak Icelandic at a native level are uneducated fools. Those who speak German as a first language and are of German descent are probably militant pro-colonialists who are anti-education and therefore anti-Althingi, therefore those who associate with them must be protected from such evil militant foreign influence. Icelandic people are scared of guns and military uniforms - they remind them of tyranny and colonialism.
View on immigration into country: Very very good
View on emigration out of country (Also, how many people emigrate per year?): Traitors to the crown and country; murder-loving, violent, hateful people who are a detriment to the human race. Emigration out of the country is minimal, due to cultural stigma and high approval ratings, as well as the availability of high-income jobs in the financial sector appropriate for the education available.

Short History of your Nation:

Following the end of Norwegian rule in Iceland, replaced by a Danish royal in the 14th century, extremely monopolistic and protectionist economic practice by the Danish throne led to reactionary action by the Icelandic population against the Danish throne. With the peaceful conversion of the population to Icelandic Lutheranism by the mid 16th century, the Danish crown became pacified as to Iceland's intentions regarding independence. However, the hyper-rational and nationalist ideals held by the Church of Iceland led to forceful rebellion against Danish soldiers, with the Icelandic provincial Althingi petitioning Denmark for demilitarization in the region. The unarmed Icelandics were marginally effective against the better armed but inactive and much-reduced Danish garrisons, overthrowing the Danes with Danish withdrawal when the start of the Mist Hardships in 1783 led to agricultural failure.

Okay, I'll try to write an app for NPC Poland, since Poland is the country of my ancestors. I'd suggest that people writting apps for NPCs write app for ones that they don't border, as they'll probably make the nations extremely easy to conquer.

That's just me, though.
