Brief Description of your Economy: Spain's economy is one of the largest in Europe, and has seen a large amount of growth in the past few decades, thanks to the reforms and doctrine of King Carlos III. In recent years the economy has taken a new turn, and the artisan class of old has found itself being replaced by machinery. Artisans have begun to lose business to craftsman, who are able to produce more goods, and sell them to ever growing Spanish markets. And with support from the Crown, new manufacturers and mills have sprung up all over the country, supplied by the imports from overseas.
Major Imports: Gold, silver, gems, silk, coal, iron, copper, cotton, sugar, tobacco, coffee, cocoa, machinery, tropical wood, tea, etc
Major Exports: Furniture, lumber, steel, weapons, foodstuffs, dyes, jewelry, clothes, textiles, wool, ammunition, alcohol, consumer goods
Goals: Take Moroccan Clay, Claim old European possessions, Not get Napoleoned, Spread Sangria, Make Empanadas
History: The history of Spain begins in 1230, when the Kingdoms of Leon, Castile, and Galicia were united under the House of Ivrea, into a single Kingdom of Castile. This marked the beginning of what would one day be Spain. The House of Ivrea would expand their holdings into Valencia, Navarre, and Toledo, and created the foundations for a united Spain. They would rule until 1330, when they were overthrown by the House of Trastamara, uniting the Crowns of Castile and Aragon into a single kingdom, Espana. The House of Trastamara would oversee the greatest period of expansion in Spain's history, pushing out the Muslim Berbers during the Reconquista, and founding colonies in the Americas upon its discovery in 1492. The House of Trastamara also established the Great Bank of Madrid, inherited holdings in Burgundy and Sicily, and annexed the island of Sardinia in 1543, as well as attempting an invasion of Portugal, though it would ultimately fail.
The House would be all but spent, however, and in 1557, when extinct in the male line, leaving the House of Castro to inherit their holdings. The House of Castro rose from a major house in the old lands of Leon, to the most powerful royal bloodline in Europe in just a matter of days. They would expand Spain's influence and wealth, exploiting the huge reserves of resources in its colonies. The House of Castro established the Royal Spanish Navy in 1560, uniting the huge Trastamara Fleets into one, and continuing a long tradition of naval genius. They also organized the vast colonies of Spain into the Viceroyalties, and expanded their holdings into the Netherlands, Germany, and Italy. For decades Spain was Europe's leading power, but this would not always be. In 1601 a small series of famines in the North gripped the populace. Thousands moved away from the North towards the South, and this migration left the cities of Burgos, Barcelona, Bilbao, Valladolid, and Zaragoza weakened. Meanwhile many of those Northerners would left, moved to the cities of Madrid, Valencia, Sevilla, Cadiz, and Granada. The famine was bad enough, but in 1613, the Great Bank of Madrid was burned down by Catholic fanatics, who viewed usury as a sin, and huge amounts of money were lost, putting Spanish merchants, aristocrats, and the Crown in poor financial situations.
When the House of Castro attempted to tax the churches, the Pope nearly excommunicated King Philip IV, and Spain went to war against a coalition of Austria, France, Portugal, and Savoy. The war left Spain weak, and then the Thirties Year War hit, and Spain once again lost, its power and prestige reduced. By this time the House of Castro had grown smaller, many its members having died in the Thirties Year War. The current King, Carlos II, was ill, and had only one son. He married off that son into the House of Bourbon, and promised that if he or his son should die, a Bourbon would be allowed to take the throne, should the succession of both countries be separated. King Louis XIV took him up on his offer, and when, in 1699, his son died of smallpox, Louis pushed forth his claim. Carlos honoured his claim, and when he died in 1702, had the throne passed on to Louis's grandson, Philip, would be Philip V of Spain. His succession to the throne caused a war that would last nearly thirteen years, the Spanish War of Succession. The war was bloody and while Philip was king in the end, Spain had lost its holdings in the Netherlands, France, Germany, and Italy, with only Spain proper and Sardinia, as well as its colonies remaining.
The new Spanish House of Bourbon took control with a firm hand, and began to rebuild the war torn country. The Bourbons launched new reforms, efficiently built up the economy, and reorganized the armies and navy of Spain. They weakened the power of the Church, established a new bureaucracy, formed the provincial system of Spain, and remodeled the old cities of Madrid, Barcelona, Cadiz, and Seville. Philip V would rule until 1749, and his reforms helped Spain recover, and these reforms were further continued under Ferdinand VI, and taken to a new level under Carlos III. Under Carlos, Spain would fully recover from the problems of old, and once again Spain would return to the status of a 1st World Power. He reinforced the military might of Spain, launching a new campaign to increase the naval capabilities of the Spanish Empire. A series of drydocks, naval schools, and new bases created a strong naval infrastructure. Carlos also stimulated the commercial relations between Spain and its colonies, expanding its markets and launching a new laissez-faire policy. By far his most important reform was the establishment of a new central bank, the Bank of San Carlos, and modernizing the economy, using Spain's wealth to reinvigorate growth. Carlos would continue to make reforms, and his reign is arguably the most successful of any Spanish king. When he died in 1789, he left his heir, Carlos IV, with a new and modernized Spain, with a great destiny ahead of it.

Government Info
Government Type: Constitutional Monarchy
Brief Explanation of Government: Sweden and Norway have maintained separate parliaments since the the 1743 Rising in Norway, which compelled King Frederick I to devolve more power to the Norwegians. The separate parliaments of the two member states allow both to advance their interests while a national parliament rules in tandem with the king over the entire Dual Kingdom. The Prime Minister and king share power in this regard, with slightly more power invested in the king. Each of the national parliaments elect a Governor-General to administer the country whose parliament elects them to power. The king personally picks out the Governor-General of Finland.
Ideology: Conservatism, nationalism, Christian government
Leader/s: King Oscar I Hesse, Prime Minister Harald Ostberg

Military Info
Army: The Swedish Army consists of 60,000 men, divided into three corps of 20K men each. One is based at Stockholm, to defend the capital. One is based in Helsinki to protect Finland from potential Russian aggression, while the third is based just northeast of Christiania in Norway. The Swedes have a highly trained and professional force, one that has seen considerable combat in this century. Where the Dual Kingdom struggles is logistics. While it has no trouble supplying the active portions of it's army with the necessary munitions, foodstuffs and winter clothing necessary to fight a prolonged war, the 70,000 reservists it can call up during wartime often lack proper shoes or uniforms. Oftentimes the armaments the reservists carry is a hodgepodge of hunting pieces and guns actually produced by gunsmiths for the army. This can make logistical coordination among the reserve regiments difficult, and the shortage of proper equipment is sure to be a morale drain, especially in winter. Swedes make up about half of the infantry regiments, while Norwegians make up the other half. The artillery regiments are almost wholly Swedish, while the Finns provide most of the cavalry.
Navy: The Navy of the Dual Kingdom is something that the country takes great pride in. Descended from the powerful force that existed under the reign of Gustavus Adolphus, the Navy is not as powerful as it once was and with a greater Russian presence in the Baltic, can no longer enforce the Swedish Mare Nostrum Balticum that existed in the 17th century. Still, it is a formidable force in the Baltic at least, able to match Denmark and Russia, and one that maintains a highly professional officer corps, also benefiting greatly from Scandinavian experience in shipbuilding.
-15 Ships of the line
-35 Frigates
-30 Sloops-of-war
Other Info
Brief Description of your Economy: The economy of Sweden-Norway largely hinges on trade in the Baltic and the North Sea.

Prominent shipbuilding magnates are happy to take on contracts from the highest bidders.
Goals: Put a halt to any Danish plans for ascendancy in the Baltic, resist Russia, obtain moar monies
