fix your population, 140 mil in southern iberia/ireland/bretagne is ridiculous. You only get to pick one number.
since the Russian border thing has now been corrected your app may need a little revision, but it's well written so I'm strongly inclined to accept you. One thing, though; Modernisation?
What is Korea modernising for? Along which lines? To face whom? Your only real and present dangers are the Chinese states and Japan, and goodness knows the latter can hardly stand against you individually with all your infighting. Remember, rail travel isn't a thing yet, so Russia's grasp on it's outer territories, while probably fairly strong, hardly represents the forefront of Western advancement.Liecthenbourg wrote:[box]Generic Info

Fix your number. I raise the same issues with modernisation as I did with Arumdaum, except that you'll have encountered Western colonial armies- still not the forefront of their relative technological advancement, but I doubt sufficient to inspire a programme of great reform. (Note: I might take away Hong Kong and Macau. They seem a little silly as possessions in context.)

Anyway, you want me to fix my population number, yes?
Would it also be alright if I've begun arming atleast the elite units with the military tech of the era?

No, your map claim number, dear.
As for the arming; define "elite units?"

Imperial Population: Ha

Government Info
Government Type: Absolute Monarchy.
Brief Explanation of Government: The Emperor of the Dynasty is the single most important figure of the nation. He can personally do as he likes, being the absolute monarch, but his power only goes so far. If the people do not like him, he will most surely be replaced. Below him serves the Imperial Court, monarch elected officials to oversee the different districts of the Empire. They collect taxes, agree on laws and so forth, but they generally act as informants to His or Her Majesty.
Ideology: Liberalism, Pan-Asianism, Imperialism, Absolute Monarchism, Modernism
Leader/s: Emperor Ushtavaity XXIV.
Population Info
Brief Description of your people: The Chinese whom reside with the Kingdom of the Sacred Fire are devout Zoroastrians, but their ancient Chinese Culture has now intermingled with the ways of Zoroaster producing a unique and flared people. Culturally, the uniqueness is quite visible. The people, from common farmer to Head of State, despise slavery in all its forms and will generally have a fish and rice heavy diet - meat generally being avoided unless in times of crisis or special occasions. Perhaps the most shocking feature to the increasing amount of Europeans would be that there is not a single cemetery in the Kingdom. Outside each city, village or town stands a tower or more that pierces the heavens. Here dead bodies are placed and the buzzards and birds of prey are permitted to eat away at the flesh from the bones, before the bones themselves are buried in large limewater pits where they are dissolved.
Religion: Zoroastrianism.
Ethnicity: Chinese.
Main/Accepted Culture(s): Chinese, Korean.
Other Cultures: Japanese, Russian, Vietnamese, Mongolian.
Military Info
Army: The Imperial Army of the Sacred Flame; The Imperial Army for short, is composed of 1,200,000 individuals. These individuals are not as well equipped as their European Counterparts, but they make up for that fact with sheer numbers and rather adequate training. Common weaponry includes bows, crossbows, halberds and such. The 4,000 members of the Imperial Guard have been equipped with European Firearms, bought en masse by the current Government from the British. (If acceptable). Chinese artillery does not lag far behind either, with cannon engineering and such being quite the priority for the Monarch. Another unique aspect of the Chinese military, is their devastating weapon that spews forth fire; the Pen Huo Qi. This devasting device is generally attached to armies and forces as well as being located upon ships and walls to deter any attacker. Modernisation is a thought being discussed, but no plans have truly taken hold.
Navy: The Imperial Navy of the Sacred Flame; The Imperial Navy for short, contains an estimated 300,000 individuals. The fleet itself is of a subpar quality to European standards, but progress is being made with purchases and remaking of ships in the European fashion. The current navy contains over 300 Junks, 3 1st Rate ships of the line, 8 2nd Rates, a rather large conglomerate of 30 3rd and 50 4th rates and a dozen unique ships which follow the Korean Turtle boat idea. Hulls of plated metal, but their firepower comes from several cannon and Pen Huo Qi upon their decks and within the ship itself. The ships are stationed throughout the major ports of the Empire, Nanking, Shanghai, etc.
Other Info
Brief Description of your Economy: The Kingdom of the Sacred Fire is entirely self sufficient except in fields of modern combat. Her extensive farms provide all the food she needs, her fishing fleets scourge the sea for their bounties and her natural resources provide aplenty. The only thing she truly needs to import would be weaponry and people whom can teach to use them.
Goals: Unite China, modernise completely, become a power.
History: In 221 BC, the Qin Dynasty's Court was met by men from across Asia, a famed land of endless sands that reached to a great and bountiful sea. These men, Zoroastrian Missionaries, impressed the Qin Emperor, Qin Er Shi, and he allowed them to spread their faith throughout his lands. This continued for a long time, until the age of the Tang Dynasty. By this time, many of the civilians of "China" had converted to the ways of Zoroaster that Emperor Gaozu of the Tang too converted to the Religion, no longer having the ability to lose the Mandate The Heaven.
During the Mongol invasions, the Tang Dynasty managed to successfully repel the invasion forces of the Mongols at the battle of Nanking, where Pen Huo Qis were used from atop walls and battlements to rain fire down upon the Mongols as they attempted to take the city via force. This impressive feat was then met by the complete and total removal of the Mongols from the area now encompassed by the Kingdom of the Sacred Fire. After this event the Tang Dynasty renamed themselves to the Achaemenids, in honour of the Zoroastrian Faith.
In the 1700s, the Kingdom of the Sacred Fire came into contact with the Europeans, mainly the British, and began to see how their forces were outdated (Though they did possess an insane numerical advantage) and began a programme where the British received a privileged trade agreement with the Dynasty, in exchange for modern firearms and artillery - alongside with officers to instruct.

That's about half a division, so ehhh… I'm not willing/able to give you a concrete number right now. Maybe when we get a couple more apps in, particularly for East Asia, so I can assess the strategic situation better.

I was going for that, due to the fact my army goes around 1,200,000.
Would you prefer 4,000?
