Is This The World We Created? (AWRP OOC/Signups/Closed)

[Katyuscha]

I think the Middle Eastern nations like You, Kerb (if he's accepted), and myself should form some sort of trade arrangement and maybe some form of friendship pact.

I agree. Then we'll form an evil trio of OPEC and dominate the oil distribution.

That's actually exactly what I was thinking.

We're going to piss so many westerners off.

Short History of your Nation: Since the Late 1400's, Switzerland was an independent entity. Albeit, it was usually a weak one. Surrounded on four sides for most of history by super powers, France, Italy, Germany, and Austria, its land was ravaged as the factions waged their wars on neutral soil. Swiss culture has been heavily influenced by this, mostly by the French, and is also the largest Ethnicity group. As population in Switzerland continues to rise, the need for space, and more importantly, farmland, will soon be a problem on the horizon, if not dealt with soon. This tiny, land-locked nation, must now battle the super-powers around it, whether it wants to or not. The Swiss have a choice: Fight, or die.
Short Description of your nation: Switzerland is a small, mountainous nation, whose population will soon be too much for it to handle. At its continued rate, within a couple of years, food shortages and famine will tear the Kingdom apart.

Short History of your Nation:The Portuguese landings in South America were a little farther North than in the original timeline. Setting foot in Columbia instead of Brazil the Portuguese carved an empire conquering the primitive peoples of South America, Central America, and assorted small carribean islands. Offers of land titles encouraged Portuguese settlers to move into the area in throughout the 18th century allowing Portugal to largely tame lands and peoples of South America. Central America is notably less civilized due to a lack of interest in the early years of the Empire. More recently the Empire has been rocked by a series of revolts in Central America owing to the draconian methods used on the natives there in an effort to speed up completion of a canal across Panama.

Status of religion in politics: The Church is subordinate to the Emperor. It holds little sway in politics.
Any big prejudices in your nation (widespread discrimination against a particular group, linguistic conflict, etc): Nothing major.
View on immigration into country: Strictly controlled in Portugal. Fairly open in the Americas
View on emigration out of country (Also, how many people emigrate per year?): Strictly controlled. Those with skill sets deemed vital to the Empire aren't allowed to leave.

I hope you know that if accepted you are going to have a lot of problems just form your population. In RL the population of your area was only about 19 Million in 1920.

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.

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 5,000 Dutchmen who leave each year- a slow trickle.
