Government Info
Government Type: Presidential Constitutional Republic
Brief Explanation of Government: The people elect the ministers in the Reichstag, whom elect a President. The President then elects a Chancellor and ey presto, Government body is functioning. The President serves for seven years and can be re-elected, Chancellor's serve for four years and can be elected twice more. The President is quite a strong individual in the Government, not acting as a figure head as other nations have one of that rank. Through the use of Constitutional Power, he has more political swing and due to this power, he has installed a weak Chancellor to serve the nation.
Ideology: Republicanism, Classical Liberalism, German Nationalism,
Leader/s: President: Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg
Chancellor: Friedrich Ebert
Population Info
Brief Description of your people: The Germans are a hardworking, industrious people. They are very strong-willed and determined, and, as a consequence, are sometimes arrogant. Nearly everyone in the German Empire, at least in the homeland, follow Roman Catholicism with a monumental 96.4% adhering to the religion. Judaism has about 2.3% of the population, Orthodoxy takes .6% and Irreligious/Atheism makes up .7%. In the colonial Empire, Germany has tried to install the German ideas of living in their territories, a good example being Tsingtao, which the German Republic has made anew entirely.
Ethnicity: 83.6% German, 7.2% Polish, 2.1% Romansh, 1.1% Italian, 6.0% Other (Hungarians, Anglois, Batavians, Russians). Colonial: The German presence is rather insignificant, only making up about... 1.3% of the German colonial empire as civilians. The natives of each place make up the overwhelming majority.
Main/Accepted Culture(s): German
Other Cultures: Polish, Romansh, Italian, Native Africans, Native New Guineans,
Military Info
Army: Deutches Heer - 700,000 heavily well trained soldiers that are also very well equipped. A potential 8,000,000 + reserves can be called into combat if needed, but this wont be needed at all! The 700,000 soldiers are comrpised of: 580,000 infantry, 70,000 light infantry, 12,000 cavalry, 38,000 Artillerists. These are mainly kept in Germania proper, but some units are stationed across the Empire. In reality however, colonial defence is generally relied on the navy and her marines and local levy.
Navy: Deutches Marine - The Germans have seen that a good navy would be best to rival the power of the Anglois at sea, and therefore spent quite a portion of time building up their navy. It is split into four fleets, and in total has 198 ships and a personnel of 30,675 in total. The four fleets are based in the North Sea, East Africa, The Pacific Territories and West Africa. (In that order of priority)
Other Info
Brief Description of your Economy: Perhaps the most heavily industrialised nation in the world, Germany has vast industrialised lands along both sides of the Rhine and in the Ruhr. Her cities are sprawling complexes of urbanisation and some also house industrial bases. The ports in the north of Germany are open to all traders and a steady flow of goods arrives from her trading partners to be distributed across the nation. Aside from this however, rural agriculture is still very common place amongst the less urbanised parts of Germany.
Goals:7-1 against Brazil.In truth, nothing outstanding really: Germany is unified. Perhaps take some Anschluss from Bohemia, but eh.
History: Ever since the horrific event of The Dinner in Munich, the events in Germany have been twisting an turning at every direction. After experience famines in the 1840s, the Bavarian King was executed by the people and Germany declared itself a Republic. Von Humboldt soon rose to power and declared himself Consul of the Germans. He declared war on Bohemia and annexed it along with Austria for his greater vision of Germany. He led the vicious and nationalistic German armies into the Balkans and brought them under the German banner, did the same in Poland and held off the aggressive armies of the Anglois and their coalition at every turn, even taking land from them in the process. Alas, all that rises must eventually fall down and with too much land to hold and Humboldt's health deteriorating, the coalition got the upper hand and cut Germany down to size, but this is still quite the mighty nation! After this "Humboldt Era", the Germans declared themselves a Republic once more. They began to see the lands beyond Europe and set up three colonial bases that would eventually lead to the German Colonial Empire as we know it, German West Africa, German East Africa and the German Pacific Territories (Real names forthcoming!). As the 19th century came to an end and the 20th century came chugging forward, Germany found it's allies in the newly formed Italian Republic and its old friend, the Russian Tsardom. Now as the second decade of the 20th century begins, Germany seeks to continue its comfortable position in Europe and the world, but many know a war will be brewing beneath the smiles and waves of the President and his cabinet.
Special Factors: Germany - Pro-War Army generals and navy admirals, President is stronger than typically through use of constitutional power, Chancellor (PM) has been minimized in power as the President has used public support and finances to install a weak candidates with similar views (Chancellor is also Foreign Min), large ultranationalist press movement that has informal ties to government, Chancellor is very pro-Russian but not necessarily pro-war.

Yes and no. It was an independent nation before the Andean Empire absorbed it, as the Kingdom of Tiahuanaco ruled by the Estuardos (Latin American offshoot of the Stuart dynasty). Basically San Martin came to party, Luis Estuardo got the boot and was exiled to the Scottish East Indies, and San Martin married an Estuardo girl. Then when the Andean Empire met its end, they got their independence once more. Whether or not the Estuardos were restored is up to you really, and if it remains the Kingdom of Tiahuanaco appears to be up to you as well.

I'd rather sphere them. This isn't uber landgrab times anymore. Sphereing is much more beneficial to all parties involved, plus it traps Austria in the Adriatic. Big win considering when the Big One comes, I'll be fending off the Aragonese, Anglois, and all of their puppets' Mediterranean fleets, and I can't depend on Russia's help at all.
Also, your government should probably be defensively-minded right now. Serbia, Bulgaria, and Greece all want to partition you, and Austria would be more than happy to gain influence in the region. Putting Albania on top of that, and then removing Italian backing, seems very counter-productive.

Plus, in that case, I think it could be renamed.
A decent event for South America would be a revival of the Andean Empire under a legal successor of the House of San Martin, much like the Third French Empire except much, much later than usual. This would bring about a very interesting series events, especially with Peru-Bolivia and Nova Roma, and most likely draw the continent into another war.

Bolivar existed, he was a well-liked guy Republican, and fought valiantly against San Martin in the War of the Confederation over in Colombia. He could have been made into a martyr by your nation, and they lifted his name as a testament to the "Man who stood against Emperor San Martin", or more realistically, we could retcon Bolivar having a son or a brother that liberated the nation to avenge his father/brother's death.

Government Info
Government Type: Absolute Autocratic-Despotic Monarchy; Russia is controlled solely by the Monarch, himself Nicholas II of Russia. However, over the amount of time that passed by, and after the serfs had been freed, a call for a limited Representative body to advise the Tsar was made. The end result was the creation of the Russian Senate; a 10 man Representative Branch headed by the Prime Minister which would help advise the Tsar, but ultimately would have limited control. This event occurred on August the 10th of 1869. It was during the reign of Alexander II. It was a major breakthrough for a limited Democratic government in Russia. However, the Senate stayed a testament to its original purpose; advisement. Nicholas never once had to listen to the words or calls that his Senators so desperately asked for. Over time, the Senate became little more than a secondary government autocracy for the Russian State. They were nicknamed by several critics and true haters as the Russian "Oligarchy". These intense changes of the true nature of the Senate, and its members occurred during the reign of Alexander II in 1881, the same year in which Russia went to war with Aragon and Anglois. While Alexander III contemporary real history is called the "Peacemaker" his FoE nickname is the "Warmaker" because he started a war within his first year of office as Emperor of all of the Russias.
Brief Explanation of Government: While what above said about the due process of the Russian government is true. It should be duly noted that the military plays a large role into the politics of Russia. While the Senate is a very stylish, egotistical, and appearance-concerning thing for how the Russian Government and Internal Affairs of the State are looked upon, the military plays a key role in politics as well. The Russian Imperial House (Of Yekatarina-Romanov) plays directly in hand with the military. This is because, as in contemporary history Russia was a directly-led autocratic state the Military has no department to adhere to, the leaders of both branches of it; the Army and Navy under the respective command of a Field Marshal (The Highest Russian Army Rank) and a Grand Admiral (The Highest Russian Navy Rank) report directly to the Tsar and take their commands and orders directly from him. As such, the fact that a Prime Minister over the years has played directly into the way Russian politics works. Because of the strong military alliance with Germany (enacted by Alexander III in 1883) who he himself was also very Pro-War, the Russian populous as a whole and the Military were also Pro-War. The fact of the Prime Minister and the disaster that has begun in Russian politics has to due with the process of Prime Ministerial Selection, and what happens with it.
The Prime Minister is an appointed position by the Tsar to run both Legislative meetings of the Russian Senate, and to help administer with Heading the Government, (As the Russian Emperor is largely more in charge of the administration of the State as a whole). Because of this, the Prime Minister's duties and many responsibilities are many times overlooked by the Russian public in contrast to that of the Tsar. The Prime Minister is allowed to sit for 4 year terms, and cannot be taken out of the position by the Tsar afterwards unless he gets a 3/5 majority vote by the Senate to forcibly remove the PM from office. In this way, this is how sketchy politics have begun to occur in Russia.
As the Portfolio will say, the Tsar has begun to lose power, and Nicholas II is now considered a weak Tsar. The Prime Minister is considered powerful (which is not directly said on the Portfolio) but also extremely Anti-War. The general Russian public, which has not suffered a major defeat since 1881, wishes for further war to help address the problem of decentralization of allegiance and general control and influence of the Baltic region. Following the war with Aragon, Russia, as a byproduct lost the ability of its Balkan Fleet. While this was a subsidiary of the Black Sea Fleet (Which is still quite powerful in terms of sphere of influence in the Black Sea), Russia's overall influence in the Balkans has diminished substantially, with several powers preferring allegiance or pro-style foreign policies towards powers such as Austria-Hungary-Bohemia, Italy, and Anglois; the latter who helped deter Russian expansionism in that war and such.
The general attitude continues in Russia calling for expansionism and an increase in its spheres of influence in both the Baltic and Balkans as well as in Asia. Despite this, the Prime Minister currently elected to a four year term since 1910; Mikhail Brundovich is not only Anti-War, but also Anti-Expansionist, and Anti-Aggressive. He wishes for an isolated Russian state which stays out of European affairs. He sees this move as smart and a better choice for the overall productivity and accomplishments of a future Russia.
However, this attitude is not well-taken in either the Senate or by the Tsar, but a 6-4 vote or higher has never been achieved. Nicholas II's primary goal is the ousting of Brundovich because of the weight his voice carries and the people he's begun to rally behind him, despite the fact that this movement is small and a minority. Nicholas II regardless sees it as a substantial threat to hsi voerall goals and future accomplishments as Tsar of the Russian Empire, so he has attempted to negotiate with the Senators for their votes. In this way, sketchy politics have occurred because of the more weight the Senate was given over time. That weight was assuming the fact the Senate would always be a by-product and subsidiary of the Tsar's voice. But as it becomes seen that some Senators have gotten behind the Prime Minister, and Senators are no longer appointed by the Tsar but elected by their regions of influence, to 10 year terms, after a final act of Alexander III in a 1893 Policy.
It becomes a game of cat-and-mouse between the Tsar and the Prime Minister and because the Prime Minister now can affect more things in terms of military funding, keeping track of and semi-administration of Russian National Bank Accounts, and the other power and weight his persona carry, the Tsar has become caught in a constant competition with the Prime Minister for votes from the Senate.
Even though Nicholas has the support and backing of the entirety of the military, and the Prime Minister's anti-war talks and speeches have obviously not moved a sole within a very aggressive and thirsty-for-war Russian military system, the military can't do anything about this. After all, the image the government would have if the Prime Minister was just taken out by the military would be bad for fellow relations with neighboring powers as well as those still within influence.

Population Info
Brief Description of your people: The Russian People are a Determined, Sovereign, Nationalistic group. They refuse to be ruled by a foreign power and no country has successfully conquered the entirety of even Western Russia. They do not take invasion kindly and even ordinary citizens will volunteer to take up arms. They are a mostly happy group, whether talking about the poor or the rich. The successes of Russia and the fact that many Real-World powers that it went to war with do not exist in this timeline make the average wages for a medium-income citizen in 1911 is 275 rubles. The Russian people are also very pro-expansionism. With semi-decent living conditions in most parts of the Eastern part of the Empire, the general populous believes larger amounts of Europe should become Russian because of the good conditions and persona they see in terms of the image of the Tsar compared to other European nations and their rulers. Additionally, those who are part of the Balkan Region, many of which are considered Slavs or Slavic, are looked upon as Russian responsibility. If a nation such as Serbia, Albania, or Macedonia comes under attack by a foreign external power, Russia would almost always come to any one of those countries aid. They would even somewhat consider coming to the aid of Romania and Bulgaria, despite the fact they've aligned themselves with powers Russia doesn't consider close friends or allies.
Religion: Primarily Russian Orthodox, with some Islamic or Buddhist elements in Lower Turkistan. For the most part, Russia is a united Russian Orthodox State, the divine right monarch and leader of that church being the Tsar himself.
Ethnicity: Eastern Slavic; The Russian people of the Empire are majorly Russian. Although Asian elements play into the diversified culture and appearance of those in Siberia, and Turkistan, the large majority of those in Russia are ethnically Russian and/or somehow Slavic in nature.
Main/Accepted Culture(s): Russian, Krainodortskan, Polish, Caucasian, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuania, Mongolian, Turkistani, Siberian, all considered sub-cultures of a superficial Russian culture of which they derive themselves from.
Other Cultures: Iranian, Latin Imperial, Chinese, Uyghurstan, highly frowned upon but partially accepted Austrian, Hungarian, Bohemian and the like.
Military Info
Army: The Russian Imperial Army is designated into two main branches; the Russian Imperial Grand Army, and the Imperial Royal Guard. The Russian Imperial Grand Army includes the sub-branches of the Russian Foot Corps (Basically any Russian Soldiers as part of strictly foot-marching units), the Russian Artillery Corps (Those that operate weaponry such as cannons or heavy artillery) and the Russian Cavalry (Those who ride atop horses and such). Additionally, the other main Russian branch is the Russian Imperial Royal Guard, more commonly known as the Royal Guard. They are primarily purposed for the protection of the Tsar, but also serve such a role as for city-wide protection, primarily in Moscow, but also protect other major cities of Russian Government importance and administration. In essence, they serve as both a guardsmen corps and a highly trained security forces. The Royal Guard also serve as special forces units in some scenarios, as do certain designated units in the Russian Foot Corps. Armies themselves are composed of around 10,000 troops or so. In special cases they can have more or less, if they are a Theater Army, as in they serve for a specific purpose such as the Black Sea Southwestern Theater Continental Army. These 10,000 Troops are composed of 2 Brigades of 5,000 mean. Those 5,000 men in a Brigade are divided up into 1,000 man Regiments. Regiments are divided up into 200 mean Battalions, or also called Platoons based on level of combat, experience, and unit type and purpose.

The organization for Royal Guard units is similar to that of above^. However, Royal Guard Units do not necessarily abide as often to the standard numbers for organization and division of troops and combat groups as are permitted to the Grand Army.
Navy: The Russian Navy is composed of simple fleets, much simpler than that of the Army. There are 5 main fleets, all with main Headquarters, and strengths, as well as the condition they are in.
Navy:Black Sea Fleet
-0 Ships Officially, 20 Ships hidden throughout the Krainodortskan Coast
-Headquarters in Sevastopol, Crimea, Krainodortsk

Pacific Fleet-25 Ships

-Poor training
As a side note, the Black Sea Fleet no longer exists because of the Treat Russia was forced to sign following the 1881 Mameluke Conflict. Overall, the Baltic is the largest fleet. In addition to that, a 1886 strategy by Alexander III adopted a tendency to dedicate 15% or more of each production of Russian Naval vessels to the White Sea Fleet that is made up of crisp, clean newer advanced vessels that are never used in combat. The White Sea Fleet is a majority reserve fleet. The vessels in it date only from 1886 onward, and most are from the period between 1895-1911. As such, those 80 ships as of right now in the White Sea Fleet are in perfect, new condition. Rust and barnacles are totally unknown, thanks to a well disciplined and paid preservation crew and workforce which keep the ships in crisp, clean, new condition. They are all available for deployment whenever the case may come.

Brief Description of your Economy: The economy in Russia, already touched upon, is much better than that of the Russian Empire of contemporary 1911, because of the fact it controls more territory, suffers from less rebellion and civil strife as well as unhappiness of the populace, and is great allies with Germany on the World Stage, than enemies in Real-World 1911. Russia's all-knowing presence of a major Eastern European Power, and its sub-sequential large involvement in Western European politics make it more economically savvy. As well as this, the value of the Ruble in this timeline of less war and civil strife is higher and suffers from less inflation than the contemporary Russian Ruble of 1911.
Goals: To continue to deal with the ongoing Governmental Divide between the Head of State and Head of Government Position. In addition, an issue not touched upon is the growing tension in much of Northwestern Russia in terms of their backing of popular Socialist Revolutionary Vladimir Lenin and his calls for government change and the great Communist Revolution.
History:
Because the French Revolution never happened, Empress Catherine the Great, continued on her path of reform and introduced sweeping liberalization and reformation to the crumbling and corrupt Empire by emancipating the Serfs. She began to open up the economy for the lower class and soon Russia began to prosper. With the wise and benevolent, though sometimes autocratic Catherine at the helm of the nation, Russia became one of the Greatest powers. In 1790 the Royal Council granted her the title "Empress and Autocrat of all the Russias", renaming the nation "Empire of all the Russias". Catherine's brilliant use of shrewd political outmaneuvering and brute force expanded her domains from Europe to the Mississippi.
Her death in 1796 was mourned by the entire nation, her successor Paul I was a a far departure from his powerful mother. His reign was relatively short, and during that time he took no initiative to expand the domains that his mother had conquered. He died in 1801 and was preceded by his son Alexander I. Being educated and primarily influenced by his grandmother throughout his childhood he took up her mantle and expanded Russian domains throughout Asia. Conquering the Kazakh Khanate and driving the Crimean Tatars out of the Ukraine and the Genovese to only one small city on the peninsula.
Alexander I after conquering and expanding the domain took it upon himself to complete his Grandmothers unfinished reforms. He modernized the military, reformed the taxes, introduced a comprehensive legal code and streamlined the bloated bureaucratic systems. Though he took a progressive path towards civil rights and generally improved the living conditions and happiness of his citizens he concentrated all political power one the meritocratic aristocracy.
Alexander reformed the education system along the lines of his Grandmother and made education free and compulsory. And brought in competent overseas instructors to teach. He was a well known patron of the arts, sciences and literature. In 1813 the North American colonies revolted against the rule of Russia. Russia, unable to fight a comprehensive war in North America entered negotiations immediately following the revolution. And they signed the "Declaration of Independence". Under the terms of the treaty the Russians retained the right to administer Alaska proper, but the fledgling new Republic immediately following independence claimed Alaska proper as a province, an agreement signed a month after independence transferred Alaska to Russo-America.
Across the spectrum continuing into the reign of Nicholas the 1st in 1836. From then till 1855 did Nicholas I rule the great Empire of all the Russias. His power was known by all, and he focused primarily on getting Russia on the path to world stage influence, and popular recognition and favoritism of its politics and policies. Nicholas I was a silver-tongued diplomat. He spoke with such heartfelt emotion and enjoyment. He is popularly referenced as the man who was able to successful turn Russian common-folk back to the side of the Imperialist Government and society. His nickname was Nicholas "the Motivator". He was an electric politician and royal autocrat. He enjoyed his rule into 1855 when he died and was succeeded by Alexander II.
Alexander II was a harsh but stable ruler, able to implement new forms of government into the Russian system. In 1869, the Russian Imperial Senate became the testament to his true quest for semi-representative society in Russia. Though he was a favorable ruler than in contemporary history, he still was known for several misdoings. The tension he had created in plans for Southern expansion, as well as his aggressive foreign policy toward Balkan and Western European states provoked the war when Alexander III unjustifiably continued his father's plans for invasion and attacked the Mameluke Empire to its Southern border.
Alexander III was known as the "Warmaker" and stood to a testament of Russia's embarrassment in the war that followed that conflict and invasion. He paid the price in Russia's banishment from having a Black Sea Fleet, as well as having to backpedal and recede certain influences from Eastern Balkan states which tended to agree with those winners of the great war in that of the Anglois and Aragon. Alexander III despite this was known for setting up the well-known and ever-beneficial Russo-German Alliance in 1883. In addition he enacted in 1886, the strategy and purpose of the superbly well maintained and deadly White Sea Fleet of which continues to live on under Nicholas II in its original location, as a testament to Alexander III's successful mind, knowledge, and power as a Russian Monarch. He also made Senators elected instead of appointed officials in an 1893 Policy that was one of his last reform political movements before his death in the year 1884.
Since then Nicholas II has ruled Russia. His first 10+ years were stable, and in accordance with his father's previous policies, he continued the trend of an aggressive foreign policy and a world-renowned Russian Empire with large Eastern European influence, and a sphere of power by both pen and violence. Nicholas dedicated substantial but not overly-baring funds on the military, continuing to preserve the White Sea Fleet, while also updating and building on the Black Sea Fleet to counter the older policies made against Russia limiting its Black Sea privileges in 1881 following the Russo-Mameluke War. Nicholas has continued due negotiations with Germany, and maintaining a trusted, well-respected relationship by sending the former Foreign Minister as an Ambassador who is very much so Pro-War as a testament to the military aggressive German-Russo Alliance, and the power the two hold in terms of Northern European involvement and sphere of military-spited influence. Since 1910, Nicholas has dealt with the split in governmental progress due to his ever-so Anti-War mongering Prime Minister who serves as the true foil and opposite to both Nicholas, his favorited Senators, and his well-suited, aggressive, and loyal military. In addition, since 1895, the young Vladimir Lenin (Now aged around 41) has also been a continued annoyance and gotten in the way of some plans. His peaceful protests, now outlawed due to the true harsh and anti-political and Imperial codes they break in accordance with policies passed against Socialism and Communism in Russia in 1892 by Alexander III have brought many to back him. These are mostly in Northern Russia, including the Finnish borderland territories, but the popular front for a Communist Revolution continue to rise. Unfortunately for Lenin, unlike contemporary Real-Life History, the large majority of Russian citizens are pleased with Nicholas II's rule and he is not as an insignificant, weak-minded ruler. The Russian Senate, a body which was never heard of in IRL Russia in 1911, also plays into the appeasement and overall satisfaction of the majority Pro-Imperial Russian people and common-folk. Still, for now, Lenin's movement talks to some as both an Anti-War movement and an Anti-Imperialistic touch with those who are very radical about a change in government and leadership, although as said, it is not as bad as contemporary real life. Still, with both Lenin and Prime Minister Mikhail Brundovich to deal with, Nicholas II has been stressed. If Lenin were to create an Army and use actual violence in his quest to spark what he calls "Marx's great plan for Social Equality and the end to the Class Structure" than Nicholas II would be in a worse but not terrible spot because of the efficiency, size, and maintainment of the Russian Empire in this regard, also unlike in contemporary Real-World 1911 Russia.
