Well, the reserves are still quite high, but if there's no objection from another Co-OP or NGR you're accepted

Please do me one favour, though. Could you edit your app again and make better noticable paragraphs in the last part ( with all the descriptions)? If possible it'd be also good to make things like "Name:", ... bold. ou see, that's no duty, but makes things a lot easier to read.

Edit: Oh, and don#t forget the RP Example!

Done.

Looking forward to this, looks like a good RP with good people involved.

1) Why Frisia?
2) Why a kingdom?

If you are a financial+service industry, why do you still have colonies on the other side of the world? Makes little sense.

Brief Description of your nation's History: In the year 1910, the Bolivian state of Acre, with backing from the Brazilian state of Amazonas, seceded from Bolivia as the 3rd Republic of Acre. The revolution was lead by José Plácido de Castro, an experienced war hero that had overthrew the first government of Brazil. After successfully defending Acre against the Bolivians, Castro made his intentions clear: he wanted an independent Republic of Acre that would grow to become known worldwide. The Brazilian state of Amazonas seceded from Brazil, and joined with Acre. Brazil and Bolivia didn't really care about the sessions, since the areas were mostly uninhabited at the time.

Then, hundreds of immigrants overran Acre, since it was lush and was practically crying to be covered in plantations. That's when peace ended, though. Ecuador-Peru, feeling threatened by Acre's success, invaded the nation. They began to raze the cities nearest to the border, and eventually made it to the capital. After a bloody battle that lasted almost 3 months, Acre came out victorious. Acre then began to win more and more battles, until they made it to the border of the two nations. Then, out of vengeance, Acre stormed into Ecuador-Peru, viciously conquering city after city. The Acreites conquered most of southern of Ecuador-Peru, as reparation for attacking Acre. Then, after three years of vicious fighting, the Great South American War ended, as the remainder of Ecuador-Peru aligned with the Soviet Union. A Demilitarized Zone, similar to the one separating North and South Korea, and East and West Germany, was set up between the Republic of Acre and Ecuador-Peru, which still stands to this day.

Acre did not participate in WWII, aside from supplying the Allies with rubber. As the tide of the war turned, Acre simply destroyed all records of it's rubber exporting and other help. Meanwhile, Acre rebuilt it's tattered nation, as it became rich from rubber exporting. Today it is a regional power, without any significant allies or enemies.
Brief Description of your nation's economy: It is mainly based on exporting, and is capitalist. It has no "Wal-mart," type stores, instead opting for small dime shops, that supply the mostly self-sufficient nation. It also has no grocery stores, instead opting for open market stores.
Brief Description of your nation's government: It is a "democracy," with fair elections. But, the president is elected for life, which can be... problematic.

I wonder if i made a good choice in making my nation a republic?

You did.

[Vredlandia]

Done.

Looking forward to this, looks like a good RP with good people involved.

Ah, perfect!

You can already post in the News Thread, by the way, to shorten the time until the IC is up and give a little insight to your nation.

@Hydro: 100k soldiers for 2million inhabitants (5%) is far too much and would ruin your economy.

Well i will have to see how the situation in the middle east pans out.

Brief History:
The Hebrew State finds its roots in the city of Jerusalem; One of the holiest cities on this earth. In the early years after American Civil War a secret society was formed, known as Eretz Yisrael, or Land of Israel its main goal was ultimately the creation of a Jewish or Hebrew State. They accomplished their goal, but on a small scale they managed to gain independence of Jerusalem ( with Byzantine help) and the territories around the Dead Sea, from the Egyptian Caliphate, eventually however the Hebrew state threw effective organization and military strength they began acquiring and annexing the lands West of Jordan River and north from Byzantium and south to the Sinai. The main reason for the ease in which they had acquired the land was that the Egyptian Caliphate was to crippled from the recent war with the Anatolians, that they did not have the will or trained manpower to stop the Hebrews.


However peace was not to follow the new state, a war in 1895 over the newly completed Suez Canal Zone between the Egyptian Caliphate, who's armies though superior in manpower, however where inferior in equipment, organization and training. The war ended in a surprising Hebrew Victory, the penance for the defeated Egyptians was the Succession of the Suez Canal Zone, Dametta and Port Said. The Hebrew state then entered a peaceful stage of its history no wars or anything of that sort. The economy grew, Judaism became more popular and the government stabilized. However the Hebrew State saw Egypt as a prime area for resource extraction. So in 1954 the Hebrew State supported and funded a Sudanese Christian /Coptic rebellion. Egypt seing this rebellion as a threat to their interests in Sudan, intervened sending large forces to quell the rebellion against the Sudanese Caliphate a mere puppet of Egypt, the Hebrew State seeing the perfect opportunity struck Egypt, this would begin the Hanukkiya War. They struck hard and quick destroying any Egyptian resistance and within a month had beseiged and taken Cairo. Egypt surrendered, and soon Sudan keeping their promise to there Jewish supporters joined the Hebrew State as an Autonomous state.

Uprisings in the name of Islam where frequent after the end of the Hanukkiya war . And in 1973 an Arab Revolt almost paralyzed the nation. But upon the entrance of King Abraham XI as Hebrew King things improved. For one Abraham was part Arab; his father being a member of the Hashemite Dynasty, for another Abraham declared Egypt and Sudan to be autonomous Zones within the Kingdom, these autonomous zones instead of having Jewish Law that people where tried under; they would be trialed under Sharia Law. Also the new Autonomous Zone had the Old Egyptian Caliph restored, but not as a monarch, as the ceremonial Head of Government. Soon the Arab population was satisfied and peace and cooperation was abundant threw out the land. And now Abraham XII plots and schemes the rise of the Hebrew State to the top.


Brief Economy:Mixed Agricultural Industrial with liberal economic policies.
Brief Government: The King is Head of State and exercises some direct constitutional power, most power is vested in the Knesset and the Cabinet. However special concessions are made to the Arab Peoples in the Hebrew State.

The rest of modern day Israel was controlled by Unorganized Arabic Tribes, eventually however the Hebrew state threw effective organization and military strength they began acquiring and annexing the lands West of Jordan River and north from Byzantium and south to the Sinai.

The Hebrew state then entered a peaceful stage of its history no wars or anything of that sort. The economy grew, Judaism became a majority and the government stabilized. However when WWII came to Egypt horrible crimes where committed by the Nazi occupiers including the decimation of the Arab Population. The Hebrew State had become isolationist at this time, but after the Nazis demanded the Control of the Suez Canal Zone , the Hebrew State declared a state of war, the first stages of the Hanukkiya War as it was called by the Hebrews went poor for the Hebrews they where pushed back to Be'er Sheva, but the brave Hebrew held the Be'er Sheva line and with international help pushed the Nazis back over the Suez which eventually culminated into the Siege of Cairo. Where the Nazi Administration there held out for 33 Days, before they surrendered. The end of the Hanukkiya War brought Hebrew sovereignty over Egypt and Sudan. And now as 2013 rolls around the Hebrew King waits and schemes for the Hebrews to rise to the top.

No. The Israelites would never be able to effectively control Egypt and Sudan. I also repeat again the germans would never have gone to north Africa in this TTL as Italy never joined the war. Then there is that the Jews would not even be able to effectively take control of Israel. The wast majority of the area was Muslim.

It is an autonomous area within the state. And why do you keep saying that? Hitler would still have invaded North Africa threw the colonies he had gained from France.

In this TTL France never surrendered. He has no way getting to Egypt and never planned on it. The only reason the Germans got involved in north Africa was to save Italy.

However Egypt angered and humiliated would not accept the fall of their armies gracefully. In 1954 Egypt using a surprise to their advantage invaded across the Suez, pushing the Hebrew Armies back to the Be'er Sheva line. The Hanukkiya War as it was to be called almost crippled the Hebrew will to fight, but with an international intervention the Hebrew Lines where saved, and by 1955 they had pushed the Egyptians back over the Canal and into Cairo, which would be besieged for the next 33 Days before the Caliph's government surrendered.The end of the Hanukkiya War brought Hebrew sovereignty over Egypt and Sudan.
