You did ask first, and because I'm actually here visiting Texas for the first time in my life, going over the six-flagged history of the Texas area, it's actually rather fitting. Who are you playing as, though?

Navy: -
The Navy is non-existent

Brief Description of your Economy: -
The Economy of the Zulu Empire is primitive, agriculture makes up the bulk of the Zulu economy, but the Zulu people have been making moves on the ivory trade, by committing warriors to the dangerous task of hunting elephants for their tusks
Goals:
-To not be swallowed by the Europeans
-To be a major power in southern Africa
-To kick a European power out of Africa
History:
-The history of the Zulu peoples is a sad one, stained red by the blood of the Zulu and her enemies, as they fought to stay as a nation, consuming smaller tribes by brutal slaughter, the Zulu people had continued this task quite well for many years, even as the White settlers came to Africa, missionaries were kidnapped, and all was 'well'. The Zulu Empire kept this pace until the year 1816 when the name Shaka Zulu would forever be used to frighten young and old of the neighboring tribes of the Zulu people, uniting the Zulu and Sotho peoples, Shaka had begun to go to war with many of his weaker neighbors, boasting a five thousand man army he crushed his enemies, and took their lands and cattle, the Zulu kingdom grew every time Shaka stepped out of his Kraal, until the year 1826 when his main general, Londisizwe invited him on a hunting trip, Shaka not realizing this was a trap set up by his friend, agreed and the two went out to the bush, Shaka only realizing the trap when it was to late, thirty Impi warriors had jumped from the bush and proceeded to stab Shaka mercilessly, as the General ran back to Shaka's kraal, to claim that he was to succeed the now late King, having himself four wives the new King Londisizwe did fairly well for himself.

King Londisizwe favored Europeans only slightly more then his predecessor, allowing Boers land as long as they remained far away from Zulu homes, under his rule he increased the Zulu economy by hunting elephants, and improving a primitive tax system, the reign of Londisizwe was going fairly well, as he killed and took, he learned how to smile at Europeans though, as to not upset neighboring colonies, but secretly he would find no greater joy than to take them all.

I am the Russian USA, Alaskan Federation. And I think Texas would be written in Cyrillic as Техас but pronounced as Tekhas due to russian migration to the area equivalent to anglo-american migration to Texas IRl.

Generic Info
Nation Name: Kingdom of Nepal
Symbols: Flag | COA
Homeland Population: ~2,400,000 (I didn't believe it either, but hey.)
Imperial Population: See Above
Location/Claims: 59
Capital City: Kathmandu

Government Info
Government Type: Absolute Monarchy
Brief Explanation of Government: Absolute Monarchy. The Religious factions (Hindu Brahmin) control a massive degree of influence over the nation. Due to it's dense and small mountainous population, children and siblings of the King are usually either high-ranking military officials or leaders of the various smaller mountain settlements.
Ideology: Militarism, Isolationism, Hinduism, Anti-expansionism, Monarchist
Leader/s: Girvan Yuddha Bikram Shah Deva, King of Nepal

Population Info
Brief Description of your people: The Nepalese people have boasted independence since the 12th century AD. The people of Nepal have been placed in an extremely difficult position between various warmongers, from the Turkmen of Central Asia, to the Muslims of Baluchistan, to the Sikhs of the Hindu Kush, to the Tibetan Buddhists, the Burmese Shan, the Chinese raiders of the Far East, and most of all, the Delhi Sultanate of India. Much like our timeline's Israel, Nepal is forced to constantly adapt to maintain it's independance, this is done through various means, cheifly by using diplomacy to pit it's eenemies agaisnt eachother, along with the use of it's passes throuhgh the himilayas as lucratice trade between the orient and the Indus. In addition to this, the constant threat has forced Nepal to follow the footsteps of the Hindu gods Shiva and Vishnu, by taking a warrior tradition in order to maintain fierce independance from it's enemies to all sides. Through the use of early training, and trade to procure weapons, the Nepalese fighters, Gurkhas, are widely considered to be some of the world's most well tranined and deadly warriors, some legends have even stated that as few as 10 Gurkhas have defended Nepal's passes from thousands of Mughal, Chinese and Shan invaders. Today, Nepal is struggling to adapt to the modern and more connected worl, relying on it's neighbours mostly for information and development.
Religion: Hinduism
Ethnicity: Nepalese (Indo-Aryan-Tibetian group)
Main/Accepted Culture(s): Nepalese.
Other Cultures: tTibetan, Indian, Delhi, Bhutanese, Sikki, Sikh, Punjabi, Gujarati, Kashmiri, Chinese, Shan

Military Info
Army: Most Able-bodied men are trained to fight at a young age, yet only a small professional army numbering less than 50,000 men guard Nepal'sborders and mountains. They are mostlyarmed with traditional South Asian weaponry, yet are known to have a very small reserve of eruopean gunpowder weapons from traders.
Navy: None (Landlocked)

Other Info
Brief Description of your Economy: Nepal's economy is extremely rudimentary due to a very long period of serfdom. Trade with neighbours accounts for the majority of all produce in Nepal, with some rarematerials such as Saffron bringing in profits. Kathmandu is also a major trade-hub between Chine and India, although this has declined over time. Nepal has only gained a common currency a mere century ago, leaving trade and bargaining very common.
Goals: Control the Himilayas, from the Hindu Kush to Thimphu. Possibly Buddhism. Resist invasion, kick ass with Gurhkhas, get some european buddies for better weaponry.
History: *Ahem* (Accidentally wrote it in Description of people...)
-India hits asia, BoomHimilayas
-First Nepalese emerge from Oriental-Indus mixing
-Kathmandu is found
-Hinduism spreads north
-Gurkha culture begins
-4cneturies of near constant war with everyone around them
-Wow, a firestick.
-Currency! Serfdom Ends!
-Today.

Anglois Map!

The Reddish shades are under the jurisdiction of the Parliament of England, whereas the Blueish are under that of France. A different shade represents a different regional assembly, with Green being the Crown Dependencies and the basic Red and Blue being directly under the control of English and French Parliaments respectively.

Russian Mestizos? How do you recommend I balance it; majority white Russian or majority Mestizo? Would Texas even be called Texas if the Russians got here first? Maybe something like Blue Russia, Red Russia (not that one), South Russia, I don't know-- like the White Russia that is Belorussia.

I'm great. I am still in Canada, it's 10 degrees Celsius at the moment, I will be heading to the UK at the end of summer to attend school and to stay with relatives.

Perhaps you could play as someone in Europe? Help me counter those bloody Catholics.
