New Imperialism - AH RP v2.1 [OOC/Signup/Reboot!]

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

So what are the current Power Bloks?

Um I have the Commonwealth, which is mainly a cultural and slightly economic bloc between Britain and her former colonies.

It consists of British Mexico (it has an actual name but yeah), British Gran Colombia (again has a name but idk it oops), I think Japan (they are a former protectorate of the UK), and possibly the Black Emirate.

Taking the Falklands will require effort it seems

It is quite absurd to talk to the Falklands.

It is Argentina, they have done some weird shit to the Falklands before.

i.e. try and get the Pope to get them for them.

On another note, fuck phones.

I'm aware.

[Liecthenbourg]

Me and Liect have been wondering that, too.

We think it's because they have strong ties to France, what with a lot of Poles emigrating to France and France (briefly) liberating them, and their an observer of the international francophone thing.

Its Monaco...

That makes a lot more sense.

Government Info
Government Type: Semi-Presidential Constitutional Federal Republic
Brief Explanation of Government: The Administration is divided into Municipal, State, and National levels. Municipal Rights are outlined in the respective State's charter's, and the State's rights are outlined in Constitution and National Charter. What is left is that of the National Government, called the Respublik. The Respublik is in charge of tariffs, inter-state construction, defense, and more or less what the IRL US Federal Government does, with the exception of it being able to suspend the state's rights to Self Defense and Establishment of a non-mandatory Religion. There are Surguay, Norguay, Pampas, Patagonia, Chile, Atacama, Bolivara, and Neu-Spanien as the states. The Respublik is made up of three houses. One, the House of Representatives, is drawn from the population of the people of each state, in proportion, up to 20 representatives per state. The House of Delegates is composed of three people per state. The House of Governors is mostly a ceremonial house, and is composed of the state Governor's and Vice-Governors.
Ideology: National Centre Right Capitalism is the general trend in politics, with Social Catholicism coming in at a moderate second and Socialism in a far far third. The average citizen is Nationalist, slightly conservative, and capitalist with a bit of a charitable streak.
Leader/s: Executive power is evenly split between Premier Jose Samosa and President Hienrich Richter

Population Info
Brief Description of your people: The two largest groups of people in the USSA are Latino's and Ibero-Germans. Latinos are the people who were formed by the intermarriage between the Iberian and Natives, and can trace routes back to Italy, Spain, or Florida. They are more often than not half or quarter Latino, yet identify with other full Latinos. They are more conservative socially and more charitable and religious than Ibero-Germans and Nativos. Ibero-Germans are a misnomer group. Unlike the Latino's, who are spread all over,, but concentrated in the South, North, and West, Ibero-Germans are focused solely in Occidentalia, the geographical region from Silber Meer to Buenos Aires to Montevideo. They also have a presence in the deep south. Whereas the Latino's embrace charity and religion, Ibero-Germanos embrace industry and Nationalism(but not Racial Nationalism). They are the descendants of Central and Northern Europe, all inaccurately titled Germans. Though there are some "purebloods", intermixing between the Europeans and other ethnic groups is quite common. Most people identify with both groups in some way, usually reverting to the one the see most like them for the Ethnic Census. Nativos are the original inhabitants of the regions and are the most homogeneous. They were sustenance farmers until the Agricultural Boom in 1880, in which most Tribes became corporate entities running successful businesses on the once tribal lands. Latino's are seen as miners and ranchers and loggers, Nativos as farmers and soldiers, and Ibero-Germans as industrialists.
Religion: Catholic and Protestant 60-40
Ethnicity: Latino, Ibero-German, Nativo
Main/Accepted Culture(s): Latino, Ibero-German, Hispanic, Nativo*
Other Cultures: Nativo*
*It depends on which particular tribe

The Federal Cavalry Corp numbers 10,000 men and is the on call cavalry group that manages the frontier and pampas areas. They have replaced the Pampan Rangers and are funded by the Pampas State as well.
Navy: The United Navy employs roughly 250,000 men and is the pride of the USSA, which is essentially a giant peninsula and archipelago chain. Given the nature of her coasts, both in geography and length, the navy is divided into two fleets, the Atlantic and Pacific Fleet. The Pacific Fleet is Light cruiser and destroyer heavy, while the Atlantic fleet has more battlecruisers and battleships. Overall fleet composition is all follows

They are decently equipped and trained, but not to the degree of the Navy, and a little less than the Army.

Other Info
Brief Description of your Economy: Mixed Market with the Nationalized vital industries such as infrastructure and regulated and controlled markets for civilians to work and make their own businesses.
Goals: Regional Dominance of South America and the growth of South America was a premier nation in the world
History: The Latin Confederacy was born out of Fire. In the 1900's, with North American and South America fragmented, the Latin nations engaged in brutal regional conflicts that destabilized and crippled alot of the nations. After nearly a decade of constant strife, the Latin nations were crippled and a shell of their former shelf. The local populations rised up and declared a end to the strife to the neighbors and united, they could profit, stand together and be stronger.

This was the " United Latin movement " or ULM which formed one of the key parties throughout Brasil,Argentina and Chile and these nations realized that all three nations had a majority ULM nation in power and they wanted to united. To share their resources, they could be self-sufficient and not relay on enemies or Europeans to dictate their foreign policy and domestic policy. In a Shocking world event, they united and merged nations.

There is scars and issues but as a whole, the nations have been doing well and the change to a united government has been rocky but stable.

Have Fun!

Mkay, I wanted to accept both of you at the same time since you both laid claims to the guays and other parts. I think the two of you should work together to find a compromise that pleases both of you. If neither of you claim the guays and leave them independent that please me :3 (lol), but it's at your own.

As for crittequing apps.
Sara:
- Specify a bit more on the gov't type/explanation. So its like a Presidential Federal Republic where the president gets to be HoS and HoG?
- I think you'd have a large group of Parado in terms of ethnicity.
- You mention 50% Latin Hispanic. Do you mean of Spanish origins? If so, were parts of Brazil colonized ITTL by Spain?
- Yay for not having ridiculous navy and airforce.
- Get a flag btw.
--- So accepted but just updates those.

Inesea:
- Your flag is ugly, no offense. I have a better one.
- Explain role of Premier and President. Which is HoS and which is HoG?
- Also, I'm glad you took "America" that way we aren't confused.
- Only thing I'm slightly worried about is how old your nation is. Getting independence in 1646?
- Also I'll do some friendly competition with you over the Pacific, lol.
- Do the economy section.
---- So accepted, just update those.

Japan what? Lol

Is your IC country communist too?

Nope. Long live King Rikard, second of his name!

Japan into trade?

Around the same time it happened in RL if possible. 1853 but I would like it to be a bit ready so that I have "space" in my history to add all the conquests.

Here ya go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Douglas_(sea_captain)

Since he actually was Scottish and actually tried to get Japan out of Isolationism, we can use his name.

Alright. Thanks!

EDIT: Sorry for posting three times in a row.

1 That is the actual USSA flag. I like it, personally. I mean, have you seen Libya's?
2 Premier is the head of the Respublik and would be like if Congress had a PM. He is like a more powerful Speaker of the House, for all three Houses. The President is elected popularly and acts with a little less power than the US one would.
3 Eh?
4 It's no real issue, the unified state doesn't really come about till 1750, 100 years after formation. I can switch a few things if you really need me to.
5 Bring it
6 Did it

As for land claims, Sara hasn't posted a map(I think), so I can't adjust accordingly.

[The Kingdom of Glitter]

Didn't you say you wanted to join us lol?

Well considering all you ever do is ask about making IC deals in the OOC I mean one can assume you are typically always serious.
