325 ships and 100,000 pop bolt action is the Swedish mauser (google it) cause of increased pop army is now 10,00

the pop of sweden in 1900 was over 5 million not 15000 , the swedish mauser was only made 5 years before so it is not dated as i said and your navy should still be way lower

I am swedish btw. the Exact pop in 1900 was 5 117. navy will be 25 ships

Edited, tell me if you want it lower.

Yeah, lower would be good; I was thinking along the lines of 15 mil, maybe a bit more; 40 years to triple population in a developed country is a bit much. Also, no dreadnoughts for quite some time, everybody.

Also, sorry, forgot to say, can everybody add their currency in economy?

Nation Name: Second French Republic (Deuxième République Française), or just France, sometimes Second Republic of France (Deuxième République de la France)
Symbols: Good old French tricolor flag: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_France.svg, national animal is rooster, like http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/coun ... ooster.jpg, representated as Singing or Gallic Rooster, national anthem is this version of La Marseillase: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K1q9Ntcr5g, national plant is lily (because fleur-de-lys), national personification is Marianne
Population: 40 million in homeland, further 20 million in colonies
Location/Claims: already on map, on royal blue
Capital City: Paris
Government Type: Constitutional Parliamentary Republic; will elaborate ICly
Ideology: Democracy, liberty, egalitarianism, freedom, order, reason, logic
Leader/s: President Guillaume Vendée Antoine, Prime Minister Jean Pierre du Lac
Economy: A considerably less industrialized one than many neighbors, but produces many quality products such as wine, furniture, art, aircraft parts and other hand-crafted objects, as well as quite a lot of other stuff including half-decent amounts of coal, steel, grain, dairy, etc. Most industry is more artisan-based than assembly line based, so much of the highest quality things are made here. A strong, wealthy, tourist-drawing economy, but not industrially or militarily strong.
Infrastructure: Plenty of railways, and many old roads, bridges, canals, etc. Few factories, but well developed, though often unplanned towns. Being one of the most developed non-industrial countries in the world, infrastructure is very good, especially in railways and comparatively in rural areas. The only thing it lacks to the industrial complexes of its neighbours.
Army: Around 250,000 professionals, armed very well; extremely well trained and drilled, and armed with the latest equipment; pneumatic recoil breechloading guns, straight-pull bolt lock rifles with the best bayonets, machine guns, and a very orderly and tough uniform. Cavalry is particularly good, with sabre-wielding cuirassiers and grenadiers. However, they aren't the best army in the world, and though morale is good, discipline and gunnery are only decent for a west European power, and the artillery is only decent for a west European as well. Research into aircraft is being conducted, and primitive biplanes exist for the army's small use.
Navy: A very innovative, large and powerful force, it is composed of:
15 Battleships
25 Cruisers
42 Destroyers
166 Torpedo Boats
It is conducting extensive research into submarines, and is staffed by a fairly experienced marine, sailor and officer combination. It is expanding and pushing forth, looking for new ways to be stronger and protecting the colonies and generally being a bit of a policeman in destroying pirates, and though it is certainly very strong, it is not unbelievably or untouchably strong. It is armed by many tens of thousands of people.
Goals: More colonies, get rich, become more industrial, keep integrity
History: Ya know, France. Colonized lotsa stuff, Napoleon came and romped, 1st Republic, sold lots of colonies, gained new ones, then lost the war. 2nd Empire fell in revolution some time ago, since then, France just kept taking small colonies and losing even less while developing. Sorta similar to RL France.

Population: 128,000,000
Location/Claims: All territory of the RE in 1900
Capital: Moscow
Government type: Absolute Monarchy, Constitutional Monarchy beginning in 1906
Ideology: Social classes, and equality for the peasants
Leader: Nicholas II
Economy: Based on mining and heavy industry
Infrastructure: Railways and Seaports
Army: A force of about 1,162,000 armed with Mosin-Nagant rifles
Navy: 15 ships
Goals: To expand influence in Europe and Asia
History: In 1894, Alexander III was succeeded by his son, Nicholas II, who committed to retaining the autocracy that his father had left him. The Industrial Revolution began to take effect in the Russian Empire. The Liberals among industrial capitalists and nobility believed in peaceful social reform and a constitutional monarchy, forming the Constitutional Democrats, or Kadets. The Socialist Revolutionaries incorporated the Narodnik tradition and advocated the distribution of land among those who actually worked it, the peasants. Another radical group was the Social Democrats, exponents of Marxism in Russia. The SDs differed from the SD in that they believed a revolution must rely on urban workers, not the peasantry.

It's 1900 now, and also, more detail in troops, ships and economy (which was heavily agrarian) is needed, but few other problems.

Nation Name: The Ming Dynasty, pretty much just China though.

Population: 415,001,488
Location/Claims: http://i.imgur.com/JyQdQKO.png
Capital City: Beijing
Government Type: Absolute Monarchy, but governors help A LOT.
Ideology: Industrialization and advancement.
Leader(s): Emperor Ru
Economy: Free Trade and State Capitalism to encourage Western capitalists. Currency is the Wen (smaller) and the Tael (1000x larger)
Infrastructure: Very advanced. China has had thousands of years of cities and growth.
Army: Only 1% standing, so 4,150,010 ( XD ). By now there are rifles, good ones everywhere. While the very first machine guns just came in in small numbers.
Navy: By now, the vessels are quite advanced. Advanced ironclads and frigates patrol the seas. I would guess 25 advanced ironclads and 9 frigates?
Goals: To keep the monarchy going, to continue to assert dominance over East Asian nations.
History: Since the fall of the Yuang Dynasty, Chinese culture has flouished. Especially with the Ming invasion of the Manchu with Ottoman-made cannon in 1495, China has become a military power in the world. For eighty years the emperor has tried to advance his nation. Because ever since Britain demanded access to Chinese ports, the many "self-strengthening" policies have done wonders for the economy and military. In Beijing automobiles aren't an uncommon sight! Now, let's get to the real history. In 1368 the Mongols were overthrown and China restored to Chinese rule. For about a century China focused on restoring ancient Song culture, expanding the trade to and from China, and growing on military power. Until 1451, when Emperor Sui ordered the connection of trade with the Ottoman Empire. It delayed the Italian Reinassiance for a couple decades. But other than that, it gave China the tools she needed to conquer her foes. With these advanced cannon and the massive Chinese army and gunpowder technology, the Manchu were soon no longer. With little competition at home and a new massive navy/army, Korea and Tibet fell to China's grasp. By 1550 small trading posts were set up in Sri Lanka, Singapore, and thee Swahili city-states. To this day China has a tiny trading town on the East African coast. One emperor tried to colonize the rest of Indonesia, but couldn't. But his efforts did pay off some, as China can be awarded with first discovering Austrailia. During the 1600s the Portuguese were the first major Western empire to engage in heavy trade with China. Silks, tea, and cotton were, and are, big exports. But this also brought China into the new age. By the early 1700s the Dutch had replaced the Portuguese as the major European nation in Indonesia, and still are to this day. This age brought the colonization of Sakhalin and the assimilation of the Tibetan people. China kept expanding her influence, but more diplomatically now. She was able to avoid giving any ports to any other nations, and even made Japan's southern warlord a tributary state. In the 1800s, though, China became a true world power. The beginning of the century started a small-scale industrial revolution where coal from Manchu was used to fire tiny factories in Beijing. But by 1850, China's industry had boomed. Now hundreds of manifactories litter the city-scapes, as thousands of workers are employed. In 1843, feeling Spain's ailing position as a world leader, China declared war against the Spaniards. It was laughably one-sided, because the Mexicans chose to revolt just as the war happened! Soon the Northern Phillipines were Chinese, and her influence over Indonesian affairs grew exponentially. The last half of the century featured the massive boom in the steel and arms industries, the continued westernization, and a small war with Russia that only caused eight deaths. Now China wishes for more land, more resources, and kore technology to fuel her massive appetite for growth.

Good, except you've decided a lot of countries' histories who you aren't, so if you could change that to just talk about generic "Europeans" or 'European forces", that'd be good. As for making Japan tributary and going into direct trade with Ottomans (who i would prefer to be mentioned rather as "Central Asians") & Africa, that's a bit much; China's navy has never been great, and if possible, I'd like Philippines removed from claim; modernized China is already a bit OP, it having colonies... :/. Apart from that, great.

Oh wow, even in Chinese, "Ru"
"Ru" isn't a Chinese character though, so you'll have to go with Ri (which sounds like Rr :/), Re (which sounds like Rer), Ro (which sounds like roar), Rou (which sounds like R-oh) or something like that.

Sweden's pop should be in the ballpark of a couple million...

Good except infrastructure; as far as I can tell, Russia hasn't modernized massively in your timeline (nor would it be possible), so railways is kinda much, and you have rather few seaports; China has all Greater Manchuria. Might want to mention how the west is more developed than the east as well.

[Reatra]

Alright, Phillipines and Africa were a bit much. But during the Ming dynasty, China's navy ROCKED! Hundreds of junks travelled to India and Arabia and even, yes, Swahili! Japan isn't tributary anymore though. I must've forgotten that. Unfortunately I have to sleep. Apart from the claims, do I need to actually edit the app? You can just not put Africa on the map and I won't RP it, you know?

I plan on reinstating the tributary system where I take stuff from other countries because I rock. With high-tech and East Asian economies revolving around me, I'd say ten years for a few nations to give me "tax".

Yes, but they were junks, hardly anything able to sustain a military presence.

Anyway, yup, accepted, no need to edit, really, though a bit more detail on navy & army would be good; army is pretty importany, ya know?
edit:
also, for infrastructure, I assume you mean that it's very well developed and dense? I doubt China would have many railways, for example.
edit2: a few more footnotes your internal stability & level of modernization won't be as good as Europe's, I hope you realize, due to new religions, vast population, large amount of space to travel, etc. though it'll be decent, and also, can you give me some concrete ship numbers?

Goals: Colonise Africa and end America once and for all.
History: When Mexico revolted from Spain the simplemen were forced to learn how to fire a musket or a rifle. Fortunately, they learned quickly, but still the experience of the Spanish army proved to them that the war for their revolution would be long and bloody. After many battles and many more lives lost in both side, though the Mexicans have heavier casualties. Both sides then exchanged tactics, literally, the Spanish resorted to guerrilla warfare while the Mexicans resorted to pike and line. After many months of warfare the Mexicans won the war and won their independence, and they immediately crown Agustín Cosme Damián de Iturbide y Arámburu.
