Nation History Summary:
Polynesians settled New Zealand in 1250–1300 CE and developed a distinctive Māori culture. Europeans first made contact in 1642 CE. In 1840 the British and Māori signed a treaty making New Zealand a colony of the British Empire. Immigrant numbers increased sharply and conflicts escalated into the New Zealand Wars, which resulted in much Māori land being confiscated in the mid North Island. Economic depressions were followed by periods of political reform, with women gaining the vote during the 1890s, and a welfare state being established from the 1930s. After World War II, New Zealand joined Australia and the United States in the ANZUS security treaty, although the United States later (until 2010) suspended the treaty after New Zealand banned nuclear weapons. New Zealand is part of the intelligence sharing among the Anglosphere countries, the UKUSA Agreement. New Zealanders enjoyed one of the highest standards of living in the world in the 1950s, but the 1970s saw a deep recession, worsened by oil shocks and the United Kingdom's entry into the European Economic Community. The country underwent major economic changes during the 1980s, which transformed it from a protectionist to a semi-liberalised semi-free trade economy. Markets for New Zealand's agricultural exports have diversified greatly since the 1970s, with once-dominant exports of wool being overtaken by dairy products, meat, and recently wine.

Nation History Summary: The Indian Federation is a loose descendant of the ancient Maratha Confederacy, a state on the Indian Subcontinent with medieval roots. With Europe tearing itself apart over internal rivalries, the Maratha state prospered, developing technologies that had been in circulation on the Indian continent for hundreds of years already, notably gunpowder, and re-inventing sewage technology that had originally been developed by the Indus Valley civilization thousands of years before. It is therefore that the Maratha state entered it's own Industrial Revolution, roughly in the same period that other nations underwent theirs. Unlike in Europe, however, the Industrial Revolution was not associated with a strengthening of the state; the new technologies available to the Maharajas and princelings of the Maratha Confederacy led the state to the brink of collapse in a bloody civil war that lasted for half a century.
From this emerged the descendant of the modern state; the Republic of India, under the command of the so-called "Indian Napoleon," Garima Jhaveri. The Republic launched a war of reunification across the subcontinent, absorbing vast chunks of territory formerly not associated with India at all; Sri Lanka and Bangladesh were both placed under Republican authority. The conqueror Jhaveri quietly gave way to a surprisingly efficient, pseudo-democratic administration that reignited the flame of development in India; Hindi became a standardized language throughout the country. Later campaigns brought Tibet under Indian dominion, after Indian forces liberated it from the far-right wing regime that ruled the country in the fifties; the late sixties saw a strong shift in government policy, creating a strong, stable democracy that has dominated Asia in the lack of China since.
Modern India is characterized by it's strong, production-focused, industrial economy, cheap labour, a rich and varied culture, and a proud military history supported by hardline opposition against colonialism- particularly by Japan.

Boom, new app.
Nation Name: Manden Kurufa (Mali Empire/Kingdom of Mali)
Nation Flag:
Image

Claims(images recommended): West Africa as unclaimed by Carthage; including untaken Mali, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, and Niger.
Current Head of State: "Mansa" (King) Muhammad Ibn Traoré
Current National Religion: Officially "Manden Islam." Religious freedom is protected under the law.
Population: 278,649,670
Economy system: Keynesian Capitalism
Economy(from 1-10): 8.5
National Ideology: Politically, Democratic Constitutional Monarchism and religiously Islam.
Military numbers:
Active - 560,000
Reserve - 750,000
Auxiliary - 100,000
Air Force: 8
Army: 7
Navy: 7
Overall Military: 7.75
Heavy Industry: 7
Light Industry: 9
Tourism: 5
Roads: 7
Do you have nuclear power plants?: Yes.
Do you have nuclear weapons?: The Kurufa possesses sea and land-based ICBM and medium-range nuclear missiles.
If you have nuclear weapons rate them: 6
Do you have a Space program?: Yes.
If so rate it(from 1-10): 9
Nation History Summary: The Manden Kurufa is a loose derivative of the ancient Mali Empire that existed in the region of Mali around the 15th and 16th centuries. In this case, the great Empire did not fall to the predations of the subjugated Songhai, but rather to Carthaginian influence in the region, resulting in a great diaspora of the Manden people across West Africa. It was only resurrected in the mid-17th century, when "Mansa" Ibn I, converting to Islam, convinced many local lords to join him in a jihad to attempt to peacefully unite the region. This gave rise to the Kingdom of Mali- Manden Kurufa- in about 1760. The early history of the kingdom is not very well-described, as Carthaginian aggression resulted in the Kingdom's power centre shifting often, but surviving records indicate that the Mali Kingdom, shifting further south, did relatively well, quietly assuming more control over the region; the introduction of gunpowder to the Kingdom from distant Islamic allies resulted in the balance of power in West Africa shifting rapidly towards the Manden Kurufa, which soon after, under it's- for the time and region- revolutionary absolute monarchy, crushed the surrounding feudal states and extended it's reach from the Western coast deep into Congo.
This expansion did not last for very long; the Empire lost bits and pieces of it's territory to European colonialism, but once again the Manden prevailed, pushing out the colonials, although Congo was truly lost. The chaos that resulted from the reorganization of the Kingdom post-reconquest led to a small famine and small-scale civil war, that resulted in the severe reduction of the powers of the monarch relative to the G'bara, the Manden Parliament. Since then, the Kurufa has remained a mostly-neutral, fairly stable state, with a strong economy based on agriculture, services, and fairly cheap labour; power continued to shift towards the G'bara, which became a democratic assembly in 1860, and the nation underwent the Industrial Revolution at the same time as the European powers, protecting it from the more adverse effects of colonialism. The Kurufa itself experimented with colonialism in Congo and Southwestern Africa once more in the late 19th century, but has since decolonized, leaving behind a succession of surprisingly well-run democratic states in the region.

Nation History Summary: The Manden Kurufa is a loose derivative of the ancient Mali Empire that existed in the region of Mali around the 15th and 16th centuries. In this case, the great Empire did not fall to the predations of the subjugated Songhai, but rather to Carthaginian influence in the region, resulting in a great diaspora of the Manden people across West Africa. It was only resurrected in the mid-17th century, when "Mansa" Ibn I, converting to Islam, convinced many local lords to join him in a jihad to attempt to peacefully unite the region. This gave rise to the Kingdom of Mali- Manden Kurufa- in about 1760. The early history of the kingdom is not very well-described, as Carthaginian aggression resulted in the Kingdom's power centre shifting often, but surviving records indicate that the Mali Kingdom, shifting further south, did relatively well, quietly assuming more control over the region; the introduction of gunpowder to the Kingdom from distant Islamic allies resulted in the balance of power in West Africa shifting rapidly towards the Manden Kurufa, which soon after, under it's- for the time and region- revolutionary absolute monarchy, crushed the surrounding feudal states and extended it's reach from the Western coast deep into Congo.
This expansion did not last for very long; the Empire lost bits and pieces of it's territory to European colonialism, but once again the Manden prevailed, pushing out the colonials, although Congo was truly lost. The chaos that resulted from the reorganization of the Kingdom post-reconquest led to a small famine and small-scale civil war, that resulted in the severe reduction of the powers of the monarch relative to the G'bara, the Manden Parliament. Since then, the Kurufa has remained a mostly-neutral, fairly stable state, with a strong economy based on agriculture, services, and fairly cheap labour; power continued to shift towards the G'bara, which became a democratic assembly in 1860, and the nation underwent the Industrial Revolution at the same time as the European powers, protecting it from the more adverse effects of colonialism. The Kurufa itself experimented with colonialism in Congo and Southwestern Africa once more in the late 19th century, but has since decolonized, leaving behind a succession of surprisingly well-run democratic states in the region.
