[Aden Protectorate]

Finally posted! What do you guys think?

[The Emerald Dragon]

Yeah, well.

I didn't exactly know you were going to apply, did i?

Well, seeing as how many people tend to apply for Australia, yes.

Besides, you get the West and Centre.

Nation Name: The Aztec Empire
Symbols:

http://i.imgur.com/S2TG5.png

Population-homeland: 375.4 million ( Why is this so high you ask? Well since in this reality, the South Americans had some immunity to European diseases 90% of their population wasn't wiped out, leading to a extremely high amount of people living compared to the OTL timeline. Honestly, this is more of a conservative estimate ) 54 million slaves.
Population-colonial: 2.2 million
Location/Claims: Panama, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, both Guyanas, Suriname.
Capital City: New Tenochtitlan ( Lima )
Government Type: Monarchical Theocracy
Ideology: Nationalism, Imperialism, semi-feudal semi-federal.
Leader/s: Emperor Moctezuma XI, The High Priest
Economy: A great amount of the Aztec Imperium's wealth come from it's significant natural resources. Gold, silver, timber, farmland, sheep - all exploited by a mixture of exported ( and stolen ) foreign machinery, barely chugging away under poor maintenance in desert heat and the backs of hundreds of thousands of slaves toiling under the watchful eye of the sun-god. Though the average peasant will spend most of their lives humbly farming using reliable methods to provide produce for both their families and the market, the Empire's great cities grow and fill with all sorts of new machines and craftsmen seemingly every day.
Infrastructure: The heirs to Inca administration, the Empire is paved with dozens of roads and established routes for messengers that would make even the Roman Empire of old envy it's efficiency. However The Empire has fallen prey to the sands of time and lacks more modern industry, cars are rare and mostly for the truly decandent upper class and airplanes are a rare slight indeed.
Army: For most men, being in the Army is not a mere requirement by the state, but a sacred duty from the High Priesthood, and thusly the gods. The young peasant boys envy the army, being deprived of a chance to prove themselves a true man in both the eyes of the divine and those who stand shivering in their boots at the carnal rage of a holy warrior, the Army often has problems with too many young boys deserting farms to join the army. The army, that despite being nearly woefully outdated, is the fear of many " civilized " nations.

Aztec Jaguar warriors are furious beasts ( can you even call them men after one has seem them in battle? ) having no second to delay glory with petty things such as "reloading" Aztec Jaguar Warriors often carry up to a dozen revolvers in the field, discharging them all in a blood craze fueled by religious fanaticism, ceremonial drugs and pure malice for their enemies. Even in heavy breastplate armor, they move quickly and after emptying their revolvers in their mad charge they fight like men possessed with traditional obsidian knives and bats, breaking open skulls and disemboweling while howling praise to the gods. Some stories say, if disarmed of all weapons they lash out with teeth and nails, ripping men's windpipes from their throats. After a battle, any prisoners are usually marched to Tenochtitlan or sacrificed on a makeshift pyramid as a way of giving thanks to their Sun God, Huitzilopochtli. Interestingly enough the Aztec Army has also placed military flamethrowers into use, being one of the first powers to do so despite their otherwise backwards state.

All in all, the Aztec Army relies on pure numbers, shock and awe and intimidation. 3.1 million men lay in the standing army, with many others ready to pick up a club for their gods.
Navy: The Navy isn't nearly as glorious, well-trained or funded as the Army. The Aztec Navy relies upon large numbers of sturdy ships made from plentiful, tough, Amazon wood. Five hundred ships lay in Aztec Service
Goals: Reclaim Aztlan. Blood for the Sun God.
History:

1023 A.D: Several ships from Viking Vinland find themselves in Central America, by some amazing circumstance.
1024 A.D: Massive outbreaks of pox and other european diseases, combined with several crop failures force the fledging Aztec Empire to move downwards in a conquering migration, when they often intermix and exchange cultures with the native peoples.
1200 A.D: The Aztec Empire claims sovereign over a central america and small parts of Northern South America. Many ethnic Aztecs immigrate to the South, either nobles taking up leadership positions or peasants take up fertile farmland once inhabited by peoples genocided.
1250 A.D: The Aztecs clash with the Inca.
1300 A.D: The Aztec-Inca end in Aztec victory.
1320 A.D: The Aztecs adopt a large amount of Inca administration and scientific inventions, while assimilating the populace.
1400 A.D: The Aztec Empire continues to grow and spread, and roads begin to spring up connecting the Empire. Iron-working is discovered and perfecting in some parts of the Empire.
1470 A.D: A succession crisis throws the Aztec Empire into a troubled period.
1491 A.D: European explorer lands. Ushers in a age of exploration.
1500s A.D: European explorers begin to rush in, catching the normally stable Aztec Empire in a time of troubles. Due to resistance to disease far fewer Native Americans die and the Europeans have a harder time conquering, only annexing the majority of South America. More immigrations occur, further blending the conquered population of South America into a single culture group.
1600s A.D: The Aztec Empire recovers, and population grows as Gunpowder and gun becomes available in increasingly large amounts.
1800s A.D: The Aztec Empire conquers the African Gold Coast to fuel it's slave based economy.
1900s A.D: The Revival begins....

Rather it be blood-thirsty nationalist Aztecs or Corporationist Japanese the one constant is the relentless exploitation of the African people.

Use colour select to pick the white, then either use bucket fill or increase the size of pencil to fill it in. I generally bucket fill the borders and pencil in the central provinces

Nation Name: Free State of the Golden New Guinean Sun| Estado Libre del Sol de Oro de Nueva Guinea| *Insert the name in various other languages*
Symbols:

Population-homeland: 11,152,000
Population-colonial: 535,000
Location/Claims: New Guinea, Timor and New Britain.
Capital City: Villaparaiso
Government Type: Single Party Meritocracy.
Ideology: Solar Manifest. The idea of militarism, expansionism, and state capitalism nearing consumerism. Diversity is seen as the force the unites the country.
Leader/s: Juan Pereira

Economy: The Sun State, as it likes to call itself has recently advanced to the "industrialized" title. The economy of the nation has grown significantly since the sun revolution, even though it started the Industrial fairly late, its progressive capitalistic policies have enabled for the country's GDP to more than triple in a matter of years. Heavy industry has been encouraged by the government the most, with most of it being located in the southern cities, while in the north lighter industry dominates. The interior is the least developed, however the government is not shy to exploit the resources there. New Hispania(New Britain) is second to industrial output of the country, however like New Guinea it's interior is largely underdeveloped. Timor, has been set aside as an agricultural island, producing agricultural products for export and domestic use.

Infrastructure: Rail has grown significantly in the islands, due it being promoted by the government as a sign of power and industrialization. Because of that, the citizens enjoy 16,000 miles of rail, that efficiently connects the nations cities and towns. Roads too connect the islands efficiency, however they are not used in large scale. Major cities have been modernized to the point, where they are seen as equivalent to European ones. Villaparaiso has been called the Rome of The Pacific due to it being one of the most modern cities in the Pacific.

Army: Due to its small population, the country keeps a small but professional army. Conscripts are used, however most will be unprofessional.
Army of the Sun State: 150,000(Active) 50,000(Reserves)
Colonial Guards: 45,000
Navy: Due it being an island and a rising power, the government has invested heavily in it's navy. It is a large and professional one, that rivals the other powers in the Pacific.
Navy of the Sun State:

• 6 battleships
• 5 Heavy Cruisers
• 9 cruisers
• 24 destroyers
• 63 torpedo boats

Goals:

• Become a significant player in the Pacific and the world
• Expand into nearby islands
• Continue economic growth

History: Too lazy to write down an actual history so i'll summarize it. The Roman Empire(Or whatever its called) discovers and claims New Guinea. They have a hard time colonizing the area, however due to them attempting to rid the country of the Spanish speakers in Hispania, they encourage/forcibly sent them to New Guinea. They begin colonizing the southern portion of the island, its very difficult, however soon the begin seeing progress. The Spanish Language dominates the southern portion, while new settlements in the north are more Italian speaking. Spanish spreads faster than their Italian counterpart of the north, and soon the coasts are dominated by Spanish speakers, while the interior remains largely unexplored. Rome sends waves of Italian speakers to New Guinea, which by now has become a profitable colony. Timor is conquered by 1625. Colonist begin looking inwards and frontiers are pushed more inland, Romance languages begin to leave the coasts. The Afro-Wars are begin around the time settlers begin pushing inwards. The Northern and Southern colony unite, the balance of power soon tilts to the Southern side. In the late 1700's, the revolution for independence begins, after various punitive acts to are made by Rome. Within five years the war is won and the colonies of Timor and New Hispania are incorporated into the newly created nation. The country goes through a series of wars and power struggles, trade slows and the country becomes an equivalent to IRL Haiti. However in 1870 a revolution, different than all the others before it, takes hold of the island. The Sun Revolution overthrows the dictatorship of Benito Masqez and establishes the Free State of the Golden New Guinean Sun. Diversity is no longer seen as a crime, The Afro Wars end, the industrial revolution takes hold of the country and soon the country becomes increasingly militant.
