Military Organization: http://olive-drab.com/images/milorgs_us_army_chart.jpg
Military Size:
Army: 1,320,548 enlisted personnel. Utilized the M48 Patton and M60 Patton medium/Main Battle tanks, and the iconic Willys Jeep and M3 half-track. In terms of small arms, the M16 was beginning to become a more reliable rifle for infantry, combined with the M60 machine gun for support roles.
Air Force: 790,000 enlisted personnel. Utilized numerous WWII prop planes as well as the F-86 Sabre and the F-89 Scorpion jet fighters. Other iconic planes were the F-4 Phantom multirole fighter and the B-52 Stratofortress strategic jet bomber. Gunships such as the AC-47 and the AC-130 began to be used in combat.
Navy: 690,000 enlisted personnel. Utilized WWII-era capital ships and destroyers and riverine boats such as the PCF and the PBR for shallow-water operations. Also included in this branch are the elite special forces teams of the Navy SEALs.
Marine Corps: 260,000 enlisted personnel. Utilized mixed arms from several other branches of the military to accomplish their rapid-response and special forces missions.
National Flag:
Primary Culture:Caucasian American

Other Cultures: African-Americans socially discriminated against; some still distrustful of Asians.
Primary Import(s): Oil, machinery, vehicles
Primary Export(s): Cars, refined petroleum, wheat
Economy: The USA boasts a strong, capitalist economy, one of the best in the world. This is in part due to their vast amounts of natural resources and their long history of entrepreneurship. In their financial center of New York City, stock prices are steadily climbing since the Great Depression. The US dollar, the national paper currency, is trusted and valuable around the world, and is used in most international business transactions. However, in only two years, President Nixon would announce that gold no longer backed each dollar, so some value was lost there. The USA, as of 1969, has a GDP of 1075.9 billion US Dollars per annum.
Brief (Paragraph) Description of your nation's history:
After getting involved in WWII through the bombing of Pearl Harbor by Japan, the USA was a critical component of the Allies’ victory in both the European and Pacific theaters of the war, contributing many thousands of troops and vehicles to the war effort. The United States also officially ended the war by forcing the surrender of Japan with the first ever atomic bomb droppings. The need to fuel the American war machine jump-started the nation’s industry and brought them out of the economic depression of the previous decade.
However, the veritable golden era of postwar-America was quickly replaced with a deep sense of paranoia and xenophobic fear as the Chinese rose in power and Soviet relations grew colder and colder. Coupled with the global increase of nuclear stockpiles and a radically shifting social landscape at home, the 1960s were a turbulent time for American citizens. For example, children at schools were trained in atomic bomb drills and nuclear shelters were constructed across the nation.
President Lyndon B. Johnson, after taking over the presidency from the late John F. Kennedy, introduced several programs and reforms during the decade in an attempt to improve quality of life for Americans and secure presidential power for the Democratic party. However, the political backlash that followed the ongoing, unpopular and unsuccessful Vietnam War, riots in ghettos, and the rise of a powerful anti-war counterculture ensured that the Republicans would remain in control of America’s politics for the foreseeable future.

Capital City: Seoul
Government Type: Parliamentary Republic under a Military Dictatorship
Alignment: Ally of USA
Power Ranking: Regional power
Head of State: President Park Chung-hee
Claimed Territory: All of South Korea and islands owned by South Korea.
State/National Religion: None.
Dominant Religion: Buddhism
Minority Religion(s): Christianity, folk religion
Population: 31,544,000
Military Organization:
Republic of Korea Army
Republic of Korea Navy
Republic of Korea Air Force
Republic of Korea Marine Corps
The basic ranks can be wikipedia'd. Trust me when I tell you I already know ROKA and JSDF basic ranks like the back of my hand.
Military Size: 655,000 active, 4.5 million reserve. Conscription in effect.
ROKA: 506,000
ROKN: 68,000
ROKAF: 65,000
ROKMC: 28,000
The numbers are so big (for the time period) due to buildup in response to the growing threat of China and China-loving NK.
National Flag:
Primary Culture: Korean
Accepted Cultures: Westerners are generally accepted, so are Taiwanese and South-East Asians. Other races are generally viewed as a curiosity.
Other Cultures: Mainland Chinese, Japanese and North Koreans, former and current, are heavily discriminated against by the people.
Primary Import(s): Crude petroleum, petroleum gas, electronics, refined petroleum, coal
Primary Export(s): Refined petroleum, electronics, cars, ships, metals
Economy:
Since the Third Republic of Korea's establishment in 1963, the economy has been steadily growing at a rapid rate of around 10% a year, mostly funded by an export-based economy and business loans drawn from aid from Japan and the US. Korea has a free economy with a capitalistic ideology, though still guided by government policy and interventions, such as successive five-year plans.
Brief (Paragraph) Description of your nation's history:
After the Korean War, Syngman Rhee continued his dictatorship over South Korea, resulting in a student revolt in 1960. This was replaced by the Second Korean Republic, which was rapidly overthrown in 1961 by the military. The military ruled over Korea with the Supreme Council for National Reconstruction under Park Chung-Hee, who in 1963 proclaimed the Third Republic of Korea. With North Korea getting closer to China and growing in power, regional allies were needed. In 1965 political relations with Japan were normalised with a few symbolic treaties, though public sentiment was still hostile towards the Japanese.
All this time, the Korean military was also spending a massive amount of foreign aid money on expansion and modernisation to counter not only North Korea but also the rising China. Troop levels grew to an all-time high after the US was defeated in the Vietnam War, and propaganda-coerced recruitment drives were set up in every city and town to attract women into the already male-conscripting army. More US bases were allowed on Korean soil, and since the US allies were also considered to be Korea's allies, political and military relations with Japan and Taiwan were hastily expanded in 1967, with Korean advisor support and weapons for the growing JSDF and Taiwanese military. 1967 also saw Park Chung-Hee step down from his military position to run for president as a civilian and promptly defeated his rival. Forcing in a constitutional change to extend his term essentially forever, Park doesn't look like he's going anywhere soon.
By 1969, South Korea is one of the most fortified nations on the planet, being directly on the front lines against communism in East Asia. If Japan is the USA's stationary aircraft carrier in East Asia, South Korea is its shield and sword at the same time. Any major attack on Japan would have to go through Korea first, and while they hated defending their historical tormentors, the Koreans accept this role with pride. As the economy grows in leaps and bounds, the Republic of Korea is slowly becoming a regional power both militarily and economically.
Perhaps one day... Korea may even become whole again.

Head of State: Francisco Franco
Claimed Territory: This
State/National Religion: Roman Catholicism
Dominant Religion: Roman Catholicism
Minority Religion(s): Suppressed significantly. Possible tiny Muslim/Jewish minorities
Population: Roughly 58 million, divided as follows:
-Spain: 39.6 million
-Morocco: 17.2 million
-Equatorial Guinea: 1.2 million
Military Organization: Francisco Franco serves as the Commander of the armed forces. The Spanish Armed Forces are divided into the Army, Navy and Air Force, though there are notable units which do not fall under these general categories, such as the Spanish Legion, Paratrooper Brigade, the Spanish Navy Marines, and the Grupo de Operaciones Especiales and Unidad de Operaciones Especiales which serve as Special Forces in the Army and Navy respectively. There are also some units of the National Police which are comparable to military units.
Military Size:
-Army: 320,000 Active Personnel, 150,000 Reserves
-Air Force: 60,000 Active Personnel, 30,000 Reserves
-Navy: 80,000 Active Personnel, 60,000 Reserves
Total: 460,000 Active Personnel, 240,000 Reserves
National Flag:
Primary Culture: Spanish (Franco worked towards stamping out regional identity and diversity. Effectively, this is a warped Castillian, with influences from around the nation.)
Accepted Cultures: Spanish
Other Cultures: Regional Cultures including Andalusian and Catalan, Moroccan, Tribal Guinean
Primary Import(s): Consumer Goods, Raw materials (especially Oil)
Primary Export(s): Industrial goods, other raw materials
Economy: The Spanish Economy is somewhat of a wonder. After the Spanish Civil War and in fact all the way into the 1950's, Spain's economy was small and weak, and growing weaker. The Spanish Economy was at rock bottom, and still digging. Agriculture was slack, industry was tiny and infrastructure was damaged. However, in more recent years, the Spanish economy has somehow turned it's nosedive into a rapid ascent. This revitalization of the economy has been brought about by many factors. A growing interest by foreign investors, an economic 'coup' and the replacement of government officials in the sector with skilled technocrats, foreign assistance from Western nations and the IMF, a quickly developing Tourism industry, and the largest factor of all: really, really good luck. Spain's economy today is now a modernized one comparable to any European nation's, and in fact the growth referred to as the "Spanish Miracle" is still going with little signs of stopping.
Brief (Paragraph) Description of your nation's history: In 1936, Francisco Franco became the Caudillo of Nationalist Spain, fighting against the Second Spanish Republic in the Spanish Civil War. The Nationalists consisted of a large collection of groups opposed to the republic, such as the Falangists, Carlists, Alfonsists, and numerous conservatives, fascists and displeased military commanders. The Nationalists came out on top with some support from Axis powers and Franco took power in Spain. Spain carefully avoided joining the second world war, but in 1940 Franco's army annexed the Tangier International Zone while Allied troops were fighting in France.
After the War, Franco's Spain was an international pariah, cemented by the invasion and annexation of Morocco, less than a week after it's independence from France. However, Spain is very anti-communist and as such, arguably has more in common with NATO than the alternatives, although Franco isn't awfully interested in joining any of the power blocs. Spain soon entered the Spanish Miracle and enjoyed the second-fastest growing economy in the world. As the economy grew rapidly, the population went with it, even accepting many migrants from Spanish-speaking nations.

Description of your nation's history: (Be sure to pay attention and involve the story mentioned above!) Prior to the Cuban revolution, Cuba was the "best Friend" of America and the dictator Batista kept a capitalist system in place which lead to the masses being poor and the few massively wealthy. 1958, Fidel Castro took power in a popular revolution and took on the task of remaking Cuba. Now the islands wealth has been shared among it inhabitants and everyone has the same wadge and water, electricity etc is provided by the state giving citizens a high grade of living. The Cuban health care system in also the best in the Americas.
Now in the USA/China/USSR split, Cuba has remained a close ally of the USSR and continues to fund, arm and send troops to Soviet backed revolutions across the world.
