NPC application

Nation Name: Grand Principality of Tibet
Territory: modern day Tibet
Form of Government: Grand Principality
Religion: Shia Islam with a large Tibetan Buddhist minority
Capital City: Lhasa
Population: 4 million
Military: 35,000 levies
Description: The Kingdom of Tibet was the long-time ally of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty since the formation of the Ming in the South. With its topography, Tibet was safe from the numerous Chinese military expeditions for much of its existence. That changed however during the collapse of the Yuan when Tibet saw incursions of Ming troops in mass. Unable to stem the tide of invading troops and without allies, the Kingdom capitulated as was brought in to the Ming sphere as a client state. It enjoys a great deal of autonomy due mountainous terrain and the Grand Princes of Tibet are tied to the Ming royal line by blood.

Nation Name: Confederation of Yunnan
Territory: province of Yunnan
Form of Government: Tribal Confederation
Religion: Shia Islam
Population: 5 million
Capital City: Dali
Military: 40,000 tribal levies
Description: A collection of tribes allied with the Ming. Officially, it is designated as Chinese March by imperial officials but in reality China holds very little actual influence within the confederation. In fact the Ming government sometimes instigate infighting between the tribes within the confederation to keep it in check. Many Yunnan tribesmen are hired on as mercenaries during wars and act as auxiliary troops for the Ming.

I know there are gaps between the claims so please split up the remaining land west of China between these two. I would also like to make a few NPCs in Southeast Asia and Mongolia, but i need to consult the Cambodia and Tartar player as they would be in their sphere of influence.

[Leo X]

It'd probably be a good idea to make NPC apps for the south american colonies that revolted against Spain

Edit: if that has happened in this timeline that is - can't remember if it has or not

Yeah hahah realized it as soon as I posted

[Alsheb]

How far into the East China sea does Japan actually reach? As in, are territories such as the Ryukyu islands and Taiwan claimed?

[New Granadeseret]

At this point you are just overly nitpicking. This is ALT history. Just because a name wasn't used IRL until a certain time doesn't mean it couldn't have come about at an earlier time.

And Claven. I am still willing to maintain peaceful relational that hasnt changed.

What? I just made a comment that the name was weird. "at this point" would imply I've been dragging things out of something.

I'll be breaking into your home tonight to use that link, and you better well not have a gun pointing at me then, because mine will be the fury.

[New Kvenland]

Holy shit, I just realized how much had happened since the IC was posted...

Sorry. I'll get a post up as soon as possible. xP

[Landenburg]

Really was going to do Bengal but Bohemia is just so damn alluring..(that and I don't know jack about Bengal or the people there.)

I also couldn't really find an interesting history so, if you need something more than that just tell me.

Full Nation Name: The Kingdom of Bohemia, or The Kingdom of Bohemia-Moravia, or The Czech Kingdom
Short Nation Name: Bohemia
National Flag: Top half white, bottom red, Bohemian lion in the middle (or the coat of arms, for visualization) (could not one that suited me, thus the description)
Territory: Any Czechoslovakian territory that is open.
Official Language(s): Czech, Latin, German
Form of Government: Absolute Monarchy
Head of State: Jaromir Přemyslid
Head of Government: Jaromir Přemyslid
Capital City: Prague
Population: 3,250,000
Religion: Early on, the Czech people had been swayed by Byzantine priests, converting much of the populace to Orthodoxy. The Church is very well respected here, holding great sway in the Kingdom. Despite this, the Czech Church does not always follow the Byzantine, such as the Czech did not begin their own Inquisition. Freedom of religion, as long as it is Christian, has always been respected.
Army: 88,750 soldiers and officers. The quality is decent, the troops are trained in the art of European warfare, well funded, and has not lacked in patriotic volunteers. The soldiers are payed decently and morale is great. However, it is hardly one of the top armies of Europe as the Bohemian Kingdom prides itself on trade, rather than war. It is organized and structured as a European army would generally be sorted.
Navy: The Navy itself is small, only running down the rivers that the Bohemians possess.
Economic Strength: The Kingdom is wealthy, prospering from advances in infrastructure and technology. The people often are well fed, the rich can sleep in their silk sheets, and the army gets the funding it ever so demands.
Infrastructure: The Czech people realized early on that technology is what makes the world go round. Thus, they worked hard on their infrastructure, making it one of the top leaders (if not THE leader) for infrastructure in Europe.
Primary Goals: Secure alliances and prosperity for their people, possibly expand if possible.
History: Upon the fall of Rome, tribals rose to contest the power of the warlords that had been controlling the area of Bohemia. While they were busy sacking Rome, the ancient Bohemians were gaining their independence. For years they fought, finally achieving their goal after some time. The greatest of the tribal villages would be a village named by the slavic immigrants, Prague. In this village, great war plans were made and acted upon. Slowly territory was swallowed up. Once a decent sized amount of land had been taken, the warlord claimed himself as King. At first, their territory was small. The people were divided. For years the Kings of Prague fought to unite their people's. By the time the Crusades had hit, the Kingdom of Bohemia-Moravia had been created.

In the Dark Ages, Byzantine monks managed to build monasteries in the Bohemian lands. The people were easily swayed by what they preached, converting much of them to Orthodoxy. Some did not convert, however the Orthodox faith had been planted. The King and his family had been converted, setting the religion in stone. It quickly became the state religion.

At around the time the Crusades hit, the Bohemians were united and ready to fight. Their Knights fought long and hard in the wars, fighting for glory and god. The Knights fought in large and small battles, bringing back treasures and glory for the Bohemians. Some of these are still on display in the King's personal museum, one that is often shown off to foreigners of note. Once the grizzled veterans came back from the Arab lands, they were utilized in taking a portion of Slovakia, furthering the Bohemian prestige. The Czech people also managed to never join the Holy Roman Empire, avoiding the politics that were involved there.

Once done with the Crusades and the Bohemian-Slovak wars, the people began to solidify their rule. The Church was given great donations and the army had been cut down to be smaller. The Kings began to promote trade and arts, adopting the latest technology that they could. Hundreds of years later the Kingdom of Bohemia-Moravia had changed greatly, building roads and producing weaponry for the nearby neighbors to buy.
RP Example: I think you should know me but if you truly need an example, just ask!

Added much more history, if you need any more (or any specific periods) just tell me and I'll get right on it.

Now you see, I most likely will accept the British offer of becoming a part of the commonwealth. Because I know history, and I know what ends up happening to people who refuse British rule.

As I like to quote
"What ever happens we have got,
The maxim gun, and they have not"

And although the maxim has yet to be invented, I have this creeping suspicion that I would lose all the same

Well, India was basically colonised just because local rules whimped out and accepted British rule, which the British expanded from there over the rest of the subcontinent.

If this doesn't work I'll try and upload it to an image hosting service. Have one you recommend? preferably free.

You need to upload it to an imaging hosting service. You can't post it straight from your computer to the forums.

I use imgur. You have to sign up but it's free.

You don't need to sign up for imgur to upload.

I'll post as soon as I can, my creativity is lacking in the moment.

Posted! From now on, my post will be in two parts: One part concerning the country at an organisational level, and the other dealing with Christian Wolff, the German Enlightened thinker running from justice. One will give a glimpse into the world of politics, while the other will show what life is like in the empire. I'll see how things go.

[Altito Asmoro]

Looking for allies is hard these days if you hold on your own ideology.

Indeed. How would you like to establish better diplomatic ties?

Sure.

Who should approach first? You or me?

I'm still not posting something, ideas?

Which country are you again?

[Super-Llamaland]

1.) What's an NPC and how do I get one?

2.) Sweden might be willing to house Christian Wolff - if not mainland, surely in their Finnish, Norwegian, or Delaware holdings. Have to make sure it works out ICly, of course.
