Full Nation Name: Papal Republic of South Italy
Short Nation Name: Papal Republic
National Flag:
Territory: As shown on the map.
Colonies:
Client States: N/A
Official Language(s): Italian, Latin
Form of Government: Constitutional Republic with elements of Theocracy
Head of State: President Franchesco Mandazi
Head of Government: Same
Capital City: Palermo, Sicily
Population: 12,840,000
Ethnicities: South Italian, Somali
Religion: Catholic is the dominant religion, and currently the church is loosely tied with the state.
Army: 550,000. A little more than 2% of the total population. Split into 25 Regiments of 22,000 each. Equipment is well maintained and very up to date.
Navy: 1,000 Service members, 6 Cruisers, 2 Battleships, 3 Corvettes, 1 experimental Submarine. Same as Army, equipment and ships are kept up to date and in working condition.
Air Force: The Papal Republic is experimenting with Aerial Warfare, and they currently have 50 member, mostly engineers and repairmen, 2 Recon Planes and an experimental Biplane Fighter. As with the other two branches, all planes and equipment is up to date and well maintained.
Economic Strength: Not extremely rich, but a rather rich nation. Sicily's position at the center of the Mediterranean means that it is a major trade hub, with many ships stopping at Palermo and other ports to do trade or simply pass through. All economic decisions are made by the people, so the Papal Republic is a Free Market Economy.
Infrastructure: First World European nation, so infrastructure is amazing. All equipment in hospitals, fire departments, and police stations is up to date and maintained, as are roads and buildings.
Scientific Research and Development: Currently most technological progress is focused on military might, as the constant fear in the Papal Republic is that North Italy will invade South Italy, supported by Germany.
Primary Goals: Pope's Goal: Spread Catholicism through Papal Somaliland and other areas of Africa.
President Mandazi's Goal: Secularize the Papal Republic completely, severing the link between Church and State.
Both aim to improve relations with North Italy, and to trade the province of Roma in exchange for control over the Peloponnese.
History: After Italy lost the Great War, it's populace saw the current government as one who was unreliable, and as such was angry for the loss of the war and at the government in general. The Pope, sensing an opportunity, inspired the Catholic majority of Italy to rise up against the Italian Monarchy. After 2 years of fighting, the Pope declared a New Papal State. However, this was short lived as the majority of people were tired of living under a monarchy, and they voted for South Italy to become a Republic. The vote was a success, and the Papal Republic was born. The next half century was spent building and improving upon the Armed Forces, as the fear throughout the country was that Italy would try to retake the Republic with support from the mostly Protestant Germany. After relations between North and South Italy improved slightly, the highly militarized border between the nations was De-militarized, and the Papal Republic set it's sights towards Africa, landing several Regiments there and securing Papal Somaliland in the early 1890s. Currently, the Papal Republic seeks to improve relations with North Italy, and to give Roma Province to North Italy in exchange for Republican control over the Peloponnese Peninsula, currently controlled by North Italy.

Short Nation Name: Gran Perú
National Flag: Coming Soon to an App Near You
Territory: Perú, Ecuador, Chile, Bolivia, Argentina
Colonies: Easter Island
Client States: I'm debating whether or not Colombia should be one. Is it a Mexican Client state?
Official Language(s): Spanish, native languages
Form of Government: Presidential Constitutional Republic
Head of State: Presidente René Soto
Head of Government: El Congresso de La República
Capital City: Lima
Population: 14,107,000
Ethnicities: Andean, Native Andean, La Platan
Religion: While technically a secular state, the Catholic Church holds much power over the people. Which is why religion is such an important thing when campaigning for president.
Army: 56,000 active 286,000 reserve. The army is still an important part of the nation, as historically the country was constantly at war with its neighbors. But now, with most of South America at peace, less and less of this generation are volunteering. The army is still kept (mostly) at the cutting edge of technology, at compared to the rest of the Western Hemisphere, and trade with the USA, Mexico, and the great powers in Europe keeps the military ready and practiced.
Navy: Ten river gunboats, twenty-two destroyers, eight battleships, twenty-nine corvettes, and nearly fifty thousand personnel makes the Gran Perúvian navy the second mightiest in the Western Hemisphere after the USA. Several naval wars with Brasil, Argentina (before unification), and Mexico forced the navy to become to first priority for several decades. While Europeans tried to make peace with the restriction of naval development the Gran Perúvians used the time to foster an entire generation of seamen and gunners. The single colony of Easter Island was a source of pride for the Gran Perúvians, and they wouldn't let anybody take it away. There were attempts by the Germans and French to encroach on Gran Perúvian sovereignty in the Pacific, but each time a careful use of naval exercises convinced them that it would be better to look closer to home for warfare.
Air Force: A few dozen light reconnaissance aircraft, and two twin craft whose sole purpose is to drop (relatively small) bombs on the enemy.
Economic Strength: It's been nearly a century since independence, and the Gran Perúvians are proud to say their great-grandfathers' nation of poverty and want is no more. With resources from around the world being developed by foreign and domestic companies and corporations, and with a hugely successful anti-corruption campaign keeping the government efficient, the nation has prospered in recent decades more than ever before. Rapid industrialization has brought millions to the cities, and the sue of fertilizers in the La Platan and Andean farms has nearly eradicated hunger. For the first time since the fall of the Tawantinsuyu to the Spanish so long ago, it looks like the Andes is the strongest economy in South America.
Infrastructure: Years old railroads crisscross the coastal deserts and the plains in La Plata, and new technologies have begun ideas for railroads along the Andes. Otherwise, paved roads and highways are growing in popularity, but still stone roads are the norm, at least outside of the big cities.
Scientific Research and Development: Still a few steps behind Europe and the USA, but not NEARLY as far behind as Latin America was IRL.
Primary Goals: Perhaps annex Colombia and Venezuela and share our wealth with them, continue to fend off Brasil. Eventually become a great power through industry and naval dominance of the South Pacific.
History: After the conquest of the Tawantinsuyu and delaying of the Sapa Inka, the king of Spain made the entire former empire into the Viceroyality of Perú. Nobody knows where the name came from, probably made up by a Spanish slave driver during the "Spanish Inka" phase. But it stuck, and the Viceroyality of Perú became to biggest in South America. The Viceroyality gradually grew to encompass all of the Andes, much of the jungles in the north and east, and the coast down to Santiago. Even much of western La Plata eventually became under the jurisdiction of the viceroy. And with the Tawatinsuyu resettlement of families most of the population was of one language and faith. The natives were enslaved, forced to work in the silver mines, the work was so terrible that mother would cut off the hands of their children so they wouldn't be forced to mine, etc. Until 1799. With the French Revolutionaries invading Spain, and the British blockading the resulting French client state, the natives (who were now a mix of Spanish and Quechua) revolted. Inspired by the United States of America's aspiration for liberty, the viceroy was overthrown and the aristocrats killed. The viceroyalty became the republic, with a fully Andean president. With the Spanish not even able to consider reconquest until after the Napoleonic Wars, the new nation was given a full two decades to consolidate and build up for the inevitable attempt by the Spanish to bring the Perúvians back under their heel. Only the invasion never came. Instead, all the Perúvians got from those two decades were a huge amount of coastal forts, an organized militia that turned into the army, and labor groups that built the forts now we're building roads and irrigation. Great measures were taken to turn the former colony from a mine and plantation state into a functioning nation. By the 1850s it was blatantly obvious that the Spaniards weren't coming back, and relations began to normalize between the two. In addition, the 1850s became the time of industrialization for the country, with factories opening up along the coastal cities and in the inland to extract iron, copper, tin, silver, and gold ores along with stone, agricultural products, and clay. Soon, due to actions by the government, the industry began to refine these materials and sell them on the global market. Suddenly thousands of tons of Gran Perúvian steel, coal, furniture, and clothing were available across Europe and boosted the economy. Around this time the La Platans were officially annexed into the republic, creating tension across the continent, but efforts to assimilate the culture into the Andean one and the fact that Pan-Latinoaméricano nationalism was beginning to take root turned the La Platans into (mostly) willing citizens. It still took several years until the next generation saw themselves as Gran Perúvian. The economy continued to grow for the next few decades at a stable rate, and with American and European influence in South America growing, the Gran Perúvians began to build a navy to combat any attack. By 1900 Gran Perú had been around for a century and was beginning to cement its place as a secondary power.

So your tiny South American Navy managed to scare off the massive and modern German and French Pacific Fleet's. I mostly speak as to Germany. Which you could not scare off because Germany was already established as a modern naval power before your nation was even founded.
You do realize that any technological advancement in your nation would require close and very friendly relations with countries like Britain, Germany, France, and the USA. Because those four countries would be leaders as to technological development throughout the 1800's.
Essentially compared to European militaries, yours is no where near on par.
