Other Info
Brief Description of your Economy: Ligurian agriculture has increased its specialisation pattern in high-quality products (flowers, wine, olive oil) and has thus managed to maintain the gross value-added per worker at a level much higher than the national average. The value of flower production represents over 75% of the agriculture sector turnover, followed by animal farming (11.2%) and vegetable growing (6.4%). Banking was one of the most efficient source of revenue as loans and deposits are handed to Genoese bankers. After the subsequent fall of Venice under Austrian rule, Genoa became the new banking center in the Mediterranean.
Goals: The Genoese aims to be the main economic power in the Mediterranean as far as the Lowlands and Central Europe is concerned. The Ligurians had been the most economically wealthy Italian maritime republic since the fall of Venice in 1797. Although the Austrians can still continue Venetian banking and trade, its revenues will be shifted to the Austrian realm, not to themselves. Unlike the Genoese who enjoy relative independence, thanks to the adoption of a pro-French stance, French-inspired government and French-advised Constitution.
History: Genoa continued its slow decline in the 18th century. In 1742 the last possession of the Genoese in the Mediterranean, the island fortress of Tabarka, was lost to the Bey of Tunis.
Genoa reluctantly entered into the War of the Austrian succession in 1745. The Genoese supported the Bourbon French and Spain in order to prevent their mortal enemy the Kingdom of Sardinia from annexing the Mark of Finale Ligure, which would cut the republic in half. This decision resulted in a string of disasters— surrender to the Austrians on 6 September 1746 and the occupation of the city. There was a great popular insurrection in December 1746, precipitated by a boy named Giovan Battista Perasso and nicknamed Balilla, who threw a stone at an Austrian official and became a national hero to later generations. The Austrian were expelled, but returned for an unsuccessful Siege of Genoa in 1747. At least Genoa retained Finale in the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle. Being unable to retain its rule in Corsica, where the rebel Corsican Republic was proclaimed in 1755, in 1768 Genoa was forced by the endemic rebellion to sell claim to Corsica to the French and so Corsica was ceded in the Treaty of Versailles of 1768.
An economic revival in the 1780s took place. A new Directorate was elected from the aristocratic few by the popular majority after a new Constitution was drawn and ratified by popular referendum.

Nation Name: La République de l'Ouest (The Western Republic)
Symbols: Flag (Subject to Change) and Anthem
Homeland Population: ~600,000 (Exact numbers unknown)
Imperial Population: ~600,000
Location/Claims: Illinois and Wisconsin (Including the Upper Peninsula of Michigan)
Capital City: Chicago
Government Info
Government Type: Constitutional Federal Republic
Ideology: Patriotism, Liberalism
Leader/s: Président Thybault Leblanc
Population Info
Religion: Roman Catholicism
Ethnicity: French and Native American
Main/Accepted Culture(s): French
Other Cultures: Local tribal cultures
Military Info
Army: The army is divided into two divisions: L'Armée de l'Ouest and Milice Nationale de l'Ouest, the Western Army and the National Western Militia. The army is well equipped, with most troops being given muskets, though some are equipped with the Kentucky Long Rifle. The militia, on the other hand, are armed with muskets at best. There are around 10,000 soldiers in the army, while there are 5,000 in the militia
Navy: Le Marine de l'Ouest is the only naval division at the moment. It has 31 vessels, mostly old galleys that were captured during the revolution.
Other Info
Brief Description of your Economy: The Republic relies heavily on fur trapping and trade with other nations to support its economy. The economy will suffer if either of these begun to slow down to a halt.
Goals: Create a single nation around the Great Lakes and spread the French culture around the region.
History: Le République de l'Ouest started out as a territory of New France, providing the Empire with furs and other valuable commodities. After the Seven Year's War, when the territories were transferred to Britain, the French citizens of the North West Territory were angered by the change of government.
Years later, in 1776, the French along Lake Michigan began to fight against the British rule over the territory, feeling empowered by the recent gains made by the Continental Congress to the east. The first conflict occurred when the colonists, under the command of Louis Burnell, attacked Fort Saint-Louis. The sudden attack caught the soldiers off guard, allowing the colonists to overrun the fort and seize its arsenal.
Over the next four years, the French colonists launched several attacks on the British, securing the territories of what we know as the Upper Peninsula, along with Wisconsin and Illinois. However, the rebels did not win every fight. Three months after an Illini Council declared the Republic independent, In the winter of 1778, British vessels laid siege to Chicago. For three nights, the fleet bombarded the proclaimed capital.
However, through determination, the republic survived. On August 1st, 1779, the British surrendered the territory to the Colonists and acknowledged their sovereignty. From here on, the Illini Council acted as the entire government, with Chancelier Lawrence Cavelier acting as Head of State. This government presided over the Republic for three years, until 1782, when Président Benoit Anders, a war hero, was elected to office. Through Anders, a peaceful approach to natives living in the Republic was formed, while he focused on building up a large navy to patrol the Great Lakes.
Now, the Republic is under the control of Thybault Leblanc, who wishes to expand the Republic's power and spread French culture throughout the Great Lakes and North America as a whole.

1. Chicago at most would be a small village(You don't have to change it or anything, just telling you)
2. I think the French called it "Checagou"
3. Population is waaayyy to large. According to this your claimed territory would only have a population a little higher than 50,000.

1. Yeah, but it's the only definitive settlement I know that existed by this point
2. I was debating which word I should use, since I didn't want to confuse anyone

Tbh I think population numbers in the south will include, OOCly, slaves as 1 person so they have an excuse to drum up more soldiers.
