[Kryskov]

It is not. It has several habitable islands off it, though.

I'll wait for Kry on that.

tecnicalmente, Nova Scotia es mio.

[The Kingdom of Glitter]

Welp, I'm out of colonies then.

I'll have to think of something else then.

Would have been nice to know one of the first six times I mentioned it before so I could you know actually claim other land.

[Liecthenbourg]

I'll wait for Kry on that.

tecnicalmente, Nova Scotia es mio.

Vale, Capitan.

Editing the map again. It's in the OP now.

Idk if the land in the Spice Isles is claimed yet, but if it is not I'll take it.

If Kry gives this a go ahead, I'll add it to the map.

If it is accepted, interested in trading with Japan via your Pacific Coast?

[The Kingdom of Glitter]

Surely.

Your military and colonists won't have access to my ports on the Hudson Bay, granted most of them are frozen hell holes half the year.

OP, have you accepted my nation?

Nation Name: Kingdom of Zimbabwe
Capital City: Great Zimbabwe
Claimed Territory:In purple
Population: 9,127,584
National Flag:

Head of State: King Mauringo
Head of Government: See above
Government Type: Absolute Monarchy
National Ideologies: Monarchism, Pro-Africanism, Free Trade, Pro-Zimbabwe, Anti-imperialism

History: Zimbabwe was founded in the late 12th Century, as a number of tribes came together as the Kingdom of Zimbabwe. The capital of the Kingdom was made Great Zimbabwe, its great towers an ideal spot for the head of the nation. In the following centuries, Zimbabwe became very wealthy from the copper and ivory produced in it's middle provinces.

In the 1530's, the Kingdom of Zimbabwe expanded outwards into Africa, conquering much of the Mozambique areas. Zimbabwe expanded north into Tanzinia in the 1570's, accessing the Indian Ocean. From there the Kingdom annexed Zanzibar, bringing it under Zimbabwean rule.In 1642, Zimbabwe set Southern Africa into its sights, as the King wished to control more of that area. The Zimbabwean Army ventured into Southern Africa, but encountered the Mthethwa Paramountcy, which was another strong African state. Zimbabwe went to war with the Mthethwa's, but lost to their fierce ways of fighting, and thus were limited to the areas outside of Southern Africa.

In the 18th Century, Zimbabwe came in contact with European powers. Men from Venice, a nation far away in Europe, colonized the coastlines south of Zimbabwe. And this wasn't the only occurrence. All around the continent, various European powers began to conquer the African coastlines. And soon the larger, more nations of Africa began to collapse, with their coastlines taken from them (and thus their contact with the outside world cut off). Now Zimbabwe stands as one of the last major kingdoms in Africa.

Military (Army): 91,000 troops in total.
Military (Navy): 30 ships in total

Explaining the terms. Pro-Africanism: Ideology that promotes the solidarity of Africans. Eg., Africa is for Africans, promote Africa in any way posibble.
Pro-Zimbabwe: In favor of or supporting Zimbabwe, it's people, culture, etc.
Is that good?

I think this is fine, lest one of my comrades in arms believes otherwise.
Oh!
What type of ships and how many sailors.

Mostly barges and sloops of war, nothing special. Around maybe 3,000 crew.

Indeed, could you perhaps elaborate on your ideologies that some of us are less inclined to know about?

Hmmm. I think this "pro-africanism" is a bit of a too-early construct. Perhaps its just me, but I think your nation, realistically, would be interested more in gaining land and becoming stronger, and if that means working with Europeans and such, so be it. Besides, does Zimbabwe know much about most of the other african colonies. Actually, better yet, why would they care about these other nations much? It just seems like the idea doesn't make much sense.

But, whatever. Rest is good. Accepted.

Nation Name: The Kingdom of Denmark
Capital City: Copenhagen
Claimed Territory: http://i.imgur.com/oagQBaf.png
Population: Based upon
-Denmark: 820,000
-Norway: 745,000
-Sweden: 1,100,000
-Iceland: 49,000
-Faroe Islands: 6,000
-Greenland: 4,500
-Vinland (Canadian-American Lands): 50,000
-Christiana (West African Colony): 1,750
-Helvedehul (East African Colony): 1,100
-Krydderiø (Danish Spice Isles): 4,500
-Total: 2,281,850
National Flag:

Head of State: King Frederick V
Head of Government: Frederick V
Government Type: Enlightened Absolute Monarchy
National Ideologies:
-Free Trade
-Conservatism
-Pan-Nordism
-Lutheranism (populace)
-Secularism (government)
-Freedom of Speech
History:

In the year 1347 the King of Denmark was also elected the monarch of the Kingdom of Norway, resulting in a personal union between the two nations. The two kingdoms were merged into the single Kingdom of Denmark and in 1412 the Kingdom of Sweden elected the King of Denmark as their monarch, resulting in a second personal union (Basically the Kalmar Union but a little more interesting I guess idk if this doesn't work go with that, the following is what matters). The Swedes fought for their Independence when Denmark attempted to annex them. They were granted their independence, but at a great coast to Sweden. Denmark and Sweden before the Swedish Revolt.Denmark and Sweden after the Swedish Revolt. The Danes would land in the colony of Vinland in 1601 and in Christiana in 1605. Since, the Danes have been further growing their colonies and have mainly remained at peace after the Protestant Reformation.

Military (Army):
-Royal Danish Army:
--25,000 (Standing)
--45,000 (Reserves)
-Colonial Militia:
--35,000 (Includes soldiers and colonists)
Military (Navy):
-Royal Danish navy
--30,000 Sailors
--Rather has a sizable fleet, around 25 Ship of the Lines, 18 Frigates
Economy: The Danish economy is heavily reliant on the fishing industry along with animal husbandry. Fur trade and beer brewing are also larger industries within the country. The Danes currently control the entrance to the Baltic Sea and to maintain that control, and their colonies, Denmark is home to a large shipbuilding industry. Woodcutting is also a large industry within Denmark.
Weaknesses: The Danes are not very good at fighting outside of their native winter homelands. Anything remotely considered warm (mainly the Med. and Africa) the Danes suck at fighting in. Because of their location, they are somewhat at risk of invasion from larger powers in the region. If Denmark were to lose its grip on the entrance to the Baltic Sea, the economy would be in trouble.

Well, I do see how, actually. It is called Stockholm.
