Leader/s: King Ferdinand III of Hungary
Population Info
Brief Description of your people: The Lands of the Crown of St. Stephen are centred on the Hungarians, the main populace of the Carpathian Basin since the Magyar invasion and settlement in the 9th century, and their eventual conversion to Christianity and the formation of the Kingdom on Christmas Day in the year 1000 by Saint Stephen. The northern crownlands are inhabited by the Slovaks and the South-East houses a mixture of Romanian and Hungarian communities. Croats in the Kingdom of Croatia, long since incorporated into the Hungarian crown, are afforded special minority rights in their territories. The Duchy of Galicia-Lodomeria contains Poles in the West and Ruthenians in the East.
Religion: Roman Catholicism with Orthodox minorities in the South
Ethnicity: 50% Hungarian, 15% Croat, 10% Romanian, 10% Slovak, 5% Serb, 5% Polish, 5% Ruthenian
Main/Accepted Culture(s): Hungarian (main), Croat (accepted)
Other Cultures: Serbian, Romanian, Slovakian, Polish, Ruthenian
Military Info
Army: The 100,000-strong Magyar Royal Army contains a large proportion of highly-skilled cavalry regiments, a tradition dating back to the nomadic past of the Magyars. The army has recently returned from an unsuccessful campaign against the French in Northern Italy.
Navy: The staple Hungarian port of Fiume houses only a small Hungarian Fleet, used mainly for defence of the short Adriatic coast.
Other Info
Brief Description of your Economy: The Carpathian Basin is the most fertile land in Europe, rivalled only by the often-chaotic Ukraine. As such grain exports make up a large portion of the economy.
Goals: Extend Hungarian control over the Danube
History: The Battle of Mohács in 1526 was a defining event in Eastern-Central European politics. The Ottoman Empire, masters of Anatolia and the Balkans, marched North to the Hungarian town of Mohács, were the King of Hungary and his European coalition comprised of the Imperial Habsburgs, the Kingdom of Poland and the Byzantines of Greece, waited for the final battle of the Ottoman-Hungarian War. Over 100,000 troops clashed, the Turks personally led by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent himself.
Despite the death of the Jagiellon King of Hungary, Louis II, the Turks were driven back. The subsequent Byzantine reconquests of the Balkans linking the strongholds of the West to the eternal city, Constantinople, were supported by the Hungarians, who had elected Habsburg Emperor Charles V as the new King of Hungary. Increased responsibility within the empire, however, would force Charles to relinquish the Apostolic crown to his brother, Ferdinand I, in order to focus on the inheritance of Bavaria and wars in France.
Habsburg Hungary would enter the 17th century as a staunch ally of the Emperor and supported the Catholic forces in the Thirty Years' War, a period of great upheaval in Germany. Hungarian interests would extend East, and Hungary would compete with the resurgent Byzantines to fill the power vacuum left by the Ottomans in the Balkans. An example of this Balkan rivalry is the current Grand Prince of Moldavia, Ferdinand III's brother Prince Charles of Habsburg. The recent French Revolution has been of much concern to the Magyar monarchy, contributing forces to both the First and Second unsuccessful coalitions alongside the German Habsburgs and their allies.

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.

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.

the concept for your religious state otherwise- Islam being brought back by crusaders- is pretty ridiculous especially since you are bordered to the south by a gargantuan christian state.
wtf is the last "other" under religions for, anyway?
economy section is unrealistic, since Bavaria-Bohemia is predominately inland and has several other sources of income. Besides that, it needs expansion.
history still needs fleshing out - wtf were bavaria and bohemia going to war over? they're both HRE members, which admittedly didn't stop other countries within the Empire going to war, but they'd probably need a good reason. You mention Bavaria's "inception" but nothing about how or why it happened.
I apologize you hadn't said there was no creation of Protestantism, the other would be non included in the other religions, in history there has never been a nation that was only the two, three or even five main religions, other would include everything too small to be fully represented. The numbers there are actually based on historical fact. And I assumed that it was obvious that being the two major southern HRE members they were fighting for both land and to achieve dominance within the Empire. The Islam being brought back by crusaders did actually happen in the shape of crusaders taking slaves and in some cases being converted during capture. However quite obviously few converts would survive after returning to Europe and I stated that they were attacked. Now with this explanation is my app still unacceptable?

Goals: Expansion of power, and influence
History: Since it's inception Kingdom has been plagued by ambition. It has seen its borders not as walls limiting its power, but gateways to a bright future. Through generations of conquest and diplomacy Bohemia and Bavaria conquered much of their current territory. As the years wore on territory swayed back and forth, differing cultures assaulted each other's territories to try to achieve a more powerful standing in their kingdom. As war became the norm again in Europe many men were happy to be sent on crusade to allow for conquest of many Islamic nations. However as multiple waves were sent to the holy land a strange thing happened, some began to adopt the native customs as their own. Their once brilliant fervor slowly gave way to curiosity and eventually convergence. While most were found and killed many still returned home to their nations with new wives and families taken from the Middle East. This started several religious wars that gave rise to a new Christian movement as well. People who had grown tired of the apparent corruption in the Catholic Church grew very angry and began worshipping god a different way. For a long while these people were persecuted just as well as the Muslim converts and Islamic peoples who had been brought back with the crusaders. As time wore on more and more blood was shed in the name of god until eventually many nobles also grew tired of the catholic war on the very people it swore to aid. By 1700 a relative peace had returned to the region as fewer people wanted to fight for the beliefs they held. In time everything once again returned to normal. By 1750 a war broke out between Bohemia and Bavaria which included several smaller nationalities that slowly were assimilated during the war. A treaty was signed in 1771 ending the war. However thanks to the forced movement of peoples the cultures of the two nations were now irreparably intermixed. In 1798 the Unity Accord was signed which officially formed the United Kingdoms of Bavaria and Bohemia after the wedding of Catherine and Franz I. Today their heir Franz II rules after they abdicated the throne.

History: Origins[edit]
The Oda family in the time of Nobunaga claimed descent from the Taira clan, by Taira no Chikazane, a grandson of Taira no Shigemori (1138–1179).
Taira no Chikazane established himself at Oda (Echizen Province) and took its name. His descendants, great vassals of the (Seiwa Genji) Shiba clan, shugo (governors) of Echizen, Owari and other provinces, followed the latter to Owari Province and received Inuyama Castle in 1435. This castle was built towards 1435, by Shiba Yoshitake who entrusted its safety to the Oda family. The Oda had been shugo-dai (vice-governor) for several generations.
Independence
In 1452, after the death of Shiba Yoshitake the vassals of the Shiba, like the Oda in Owari Province and the Asakura clan in Echizen Province, refused the succession of Shiba Yoshitoshi (1430–1490) and supported Shiba Yoshikado (died ca. 1480), and began to divide the large domains of their suzerains among themselves, and had become gradually independent in the domains which had been confided to them. In 1475, the Oda had occupied the greater portion of Owari Province, but the Shiba would continue to try to regain authority until Shiba Yoshikane (1540–1600), who had to leave Owari.
The other famous castle of the Oda is Kiyosu Castle, built between 1394 and 1427 by Shiba Yoshishige who entrusted the castle to the Oda clan, and named Oda Toshisada vice-governor of the province. Toshisada had four sons. The fourth son, Nobusada, who lived in Katsubata Castle, was the father of Nobuhide and the grandfather of Oda Nobunaga.
Nobunaga's reign
Nobuhide took Nagoya Castle in 1525 (it was given to Nobunaga in 1542), and built Furuwatari Castle. Oda Nobutomo held Kiyosu Castle, but he was besieged and killed in 1555 by his nephew Oda Nobunaga who operated from Nagoya Castle. This led to the family being divided into several branches, until the branch led by Oda Nobunaga eclipsed the others and unified its control over Owari.
Then turning to neighboring rivals, it one by one achieved dominance over the Imagawa, Takeda, Azai, Asakura and other clans, until Nobunaga held control over central Japan. However, Nobunaga's plans for national domination were thwarted when he fell victim to the treachery of his vassal Akechi Mitsuhide who killed him at the Incident at Honnō-ji in the summer of 1582. The Oda remained titular overlords of central Japan for a short time, before being eclipsed by the family of one of Nobunaga's chief generals, Hashiba Hideyoshi.
