That's still available, as far as I know. I haven't seen anyone reserve it. A timeline change may have affected the Kingdom of Italy in some way, but if so the OP hasn't told us about it.

[Neo-Assyrian Empire]

Can I reserve Rossiya?

[The Eastern Antarctic State]

I shall reserve Ireland (indpendent) or if that is not possible, the rebellion.

Well, if it's still available I'd like to reserve it.

Thanks for the help, Jas

OH SHIT YES WHY DIDNT I THINK OF INDEPENDENT IRELAND!

With Ulster being an autonomous province and close ties to France and Scotland.

Sorry mate, I reserved Ireland (wither independent or rebellion) in the last thread when the reboot was being discussed.

I didn't actually reserve it but I noted interest a bit earlier and already started on the app... Is that okay?

Full Nation Name: The Kingdom of Spain
Short Nation Name: Reino de España
National Flag:

Territory: Spain as it appears in the Victoria 2 start, but plus Gibraltar. The cities of Ceuta and Mellila in North Africa. Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Canary Islands, Equatorial Guinea, and the Philippines. France eventually gave back Catalonia once they realized that the Spaniards made better allies than subjects.
Official Language(s): Castillian Spanish. Catalonian is common in that part of the country, and Catalans are the favored minority of the country - the so-called "Scots of Spain." Basque is common in the Pays Bascos, but it's not used in the capital.
Form of Government: Constitutional Monarchy
Head of State: Carlos V, son of Carlos IV and younger brother of Ferdinand. Whereas the real-life Carlos was an angry reactionary, our Carlos was so disheartened by the destruction of his country that he turned to atheism, and then finally to rationalism.
Head of Government: Jose Manrique de Carvajal-Vargas. He is the real power in the country.
Capital City: Madrid
Population: 11.2 million in metro Spain, 1.5 million in Cuba, 300,000 in Puerto Rico, 4 million in the Philippines. Of good, proper Spaniards, 9.2 million in metro Spain, 200,000 in Cuba, 30,000 in Puerto Rico, 40,000 in the Philippines, 5,000 in Guinea. Of almost-good, Spaniard-like people, 2 million in metro Spain, 100,000 in Cuba, 20,000 in Puerto Rico, 20,000 in the Philippines, and 2,000 in Guinea. Of African slaves and other, unhappy subject-peoples, less than 10,000 in Spain, 1.2 million in Cuba, 250,000 in Puerto Rico, 4 million in the Philippines, and 250,000 in Guinea. Total population is ~19.5 million, with 9.5 million good Spaniards and 2.5 million mostly-good Spaniards (for 13 million).
Religion: (state the situation of religion or lack of it within your nation) The religious situation in Spain is much the same as it is in France. The only serious challenge to the authority and supremacy of the Roman Catholic Church is the Enlightenment, which, after an initial teething period, has now planted itself well there.
Army: (both size and a brief description of its quality, organisation & structure, etc) 120,000 men, 80,000 of whom are in Spain and 40,000 of whom are in the colonies. Spain's land forces are the 'default,' as it were; they have no special strengths or weaknesses. Spain is famous for its cazadores, light skirmish infantry that can fight in loose order and disrupt enemy troops.
Navy: (same as the army) With the once-mighty Spanish Navy brought low by the French, the modern Armada Real is simply the fifth part of the French Navy. Spain has few ships, and they are small ships, mostly assigned to the colonies. Its one great asset is expertise; its commanders are excellent and have a wealth of expertise to pass on to the next generation.
Economic Strength: (briefly describe how wealthy your nation is) Spain is broke. The country's only serious source of profit is the sugar, coffee, and tobacco grown in the West Indies and the spices grown in the Philippines. Metro Spain itself is barely even subsistence, with Madrid and Barcelona its only real cities (in the same vein that I would describe France in the same period as having 10 or more cities of the same caliber.)
Foreign Policy: (briefly outline the main foreign policy goals and interests of your country) Carvajal-Vargas's is the leader of the afrancesados, the faction that openly supports imitating France in all things. His foreign policy goal is to support the French in such a way that both strengthens Spain and proves its worth as an ally to France. He would like to muscle over the Portuguese and perhaps even unite the Spanish crown with that of Portugal, creating a new Iberian Union.
Infrastructure: (briefly describe the quality of your nations infrastructure) Extremely poor, all around.
Primary Goals: Strengthen the country internally, support France. If the ship hasn't sailed yet on that (and it probably has), maybe we can bring some of the Americans back into the fold? Possibly expand into Morocco. Expand suzerainty over Portugal. An idealized 'Super-Spain' would have Portugal as a puppet or sphere-member, as well as Morocco.
History: (from point of deviation) As we know from the reading, Spain was utterly crushed by the French in the Peninsular War, and the Treaty of Bayonne destroyed its government. The best thing to come out of these events, however, was the 1812 Constitution - which, coupled with Carlos IV's personal exhaustion, gave the Spanish valuable experience in governing themselves. When Carlos died in 1813, his son Ferdinand was unable to take the throne because he'd gone off somewhere and died of shame - so Carlos's second son took the throne and became Carlos V. In the early years of his reign, Carlos V had the idea of biding his time until he could get rid of the French, but as he grew older he realized that he couldn't beat them so he might as well join them. Eventually, something happened in Louisiana, and Spain's assistance was vital enough to France that they elected to restore Spain's ownership of Catalonia as a symbol of their new trust and partnership. Still, they have a long way to go before they're a worthwhile country again. Carvajal-Vargas became Prime Minister in 1819, and he has thus far steered Spain on a cautious yet productive course. The seeds of growth have been planted, but are only just starting to bud.
RP Example: You know me, Quendi.

Update: went into specifics on population.

Full Nation Name: Russian Empire
Short Nation Name: Russia
National Flag: will post one soon
Territory: will post one soon
Official Language(s): Russian
Form of Government: Monarchy
Head of State: Tsar Alexander the Orthodox (known as the orthodox for his strict religious behavior and also for putting a tax on all non orthodox russians)
Head of Government: same (if different)
Capital City: Saint Petersburg
Population: Around 45 million
Religion: Orthodox Christianity, the church is very powerful (state the situation of religion or lack of it within your nation)
Army: Around 825,000 regulars with almost 175,000 irregulars. Also has about 50,000 trained cossacks warriors. there was no permanent formation above the regimental level, senior officers were largely recruited from aristocratic circles, and the Russian soldier and were regularly beaten and punished to instill discipline. Furthermore, many lower-level officers were poorly trained and had difficulty getting their men to perform the sometimes complex moves required in a battle. Nevertheless, the Russians did have a fine artillery arm manned by soldiers trained in academies and who would regularly fight hard to prevent their pieces from falling into enemy hands. The Russian army boasts a moderate trained regular army but could not complete with Napoleon if both armies were equal size. The advantage for the Russians is numbers. (both size and a brief description of its quality, organisation & structure, etc)
Navy: 149 frigates and 28 line of batter ships. The bulk of the navy is located in the Baltic Sea. Cant find information on how good they were but i would think they will average to bad and couldnt fight the French navy in a battle. (same as the army)
Economic Strength: (briefly describe how wealthy your nation is)
Foreign Policy: To not war France and in fact, increase trade with them. Defeat the Ottoman Empire and make sure they are not a power anymore and to expand more in the Balkans (briefly outline the main foreign policy goals and interests of your country)
Infrastructure: . There was some heavy industry – mining, steel production, oil and so on – but this was small when compared to Russia’s rivals France and Prussia.
(briefly describe the quality of your nations infrastructure)
Primary Goals: Defeat Ottoman, get more Balkan land.
History: Since Napoleon never invaded Russia, the Russian Empire was more or less untouched on the military aspect. However, the economy felt the pain of Russian allies being conquered and the Russian Empire almost went into civil war due to no funds for the public and many of them having no jobs. Tsar Alexander the Orthodox knew the only way was to increase trade with the French Empire and and numerous Asian countries. Having trade with the French helped would only help the economy in the long term and many rebel groups sprung up and demanded for Alexander to leave the nation. Alexander sent his armies to every city that could possibly hold rebel forces and showed no mercy in finding and killing rebels. Finally, 2 years after the rebellion began, a rebel army was defeated outside of Kiev and it was officially over. Alexander used the rebellion as an excuse for greater power for himself and for conscription. (from point of deviation)

[The Eastern Antarctic State]

Full Nation Name: Poblacht na hÉireann
Short Nation Name: Ireland
National Flag:

Territory: The Ireland of Ireland (claimed), much pro-Union militia control in the counties of Northern Ireland, de facto control over the rest of Ireland
Official Language(s): Gaeilge (Irish) and English
Form of Government: Republic
Head of State: President Darsieg Connell
Head of Government: Seamus Fitzgerald
Capital City: Coraigh (Cork)
Population: 7 million on the whole Island.
Religion: The vast majority of the population of Ireland is Roman Catholic (83%), located to the south of the country, but also sporadically to the north. Catholics make up the working class and a sizeable portion of the Middle, catholics in the upper class are growing due to the overthrow of Britain. The rest of the population is mainly Protestant, either with the Church of Ireland (Anglican) or Presbyterian. They much up of the upper class and middle class, almost no in the working class.
Army: During the Napoleonic wars, large amounts of Irishmen were forced into the army either as a means to serve a sentence for crime, or to help look after their families at home. As such, there are now a large amount of fully trained soldiers located in Ireland, of which 55,000 are employed by the government, they are moderately well equipped and highly trained. However, across the nation, various militias and paramilitaries have been formed to counter-act the unionist militias in Northern Ireland. They number around 120,000 and are poorly equipped and trained, but high in loyalty and morale.
Navy: A very weak navy. It consists of three small gunboats (20-25 cannons), and 5 sloops (10-15 cannons) as well as one frigate purchased from France (30-40 cannons).
Economic Strength: As of 1821, Ireland is in poor shape. The bitter war of independence took it's toll on the nation, with much of the population being illiterate and working in agriculture just to survive. The industrialised regions include Northern Ireland, Dublin, and to some extent, Cork. The government is trying to enact measures to diversify agriculture away from potatoes to other crops as to get more variety to export. Furthermore, the government is trying to industrialise the major cities in Ireland, through use of peat.
Foreign Policy: To make sure Ireland retains it's independence, and to create and help the independence of the Celtic nations. Searching for a partnership with france to protect itself from what is left of England.
Infrastructure: The Infrastructure of Ireland is largely ruined in the areas that recieved heavy fighting. Places such as Northern Ireland, where the fighting was the heaviest, there is much ruin and hence reconstruction. In the years since the fall of Britain, Ireland is rebuilding and trying to improve.
Primary Goals: To retain independence and further Ireland's cause on the world stage.
History: On the 1st of May, 1813, the cause of Ireland changed forever. The first French soldiers landed at Dover, Britain reacted with much haste, calling for a full mobilisation of its army to fight the French to the south. This was exactly what the Irish wanted. The defence of Ireland was charged with little more than Pro-British militias, a group which the Pro-Independence militias fought with viciously. By the end of June, much of Connaght, Muster, Lienster and county Donegal in Ulster, where under the control of Irish Republican forces. British militia still held much of Ulster and Donegal, however. During June, many of he Irish forces in the british army had started to defect in the face of French success. Many fled to their homeland in the west and raised the Irish standard against the British. With the arrival of the highly trained troops, the last militia were removed from Dublin on the 23rd of June. Now the only obstacle to the creation of the Republic of Ireland was in Northern Ireland, where Unionsit militia still fought with much strength. In early July, Commander of the Irish forces, Victor Tone, lead an Irish force through Ulster, effectively splitting it in two. Cut off from supplies, militia on the western side of the split were quickly overcome, and surrendered. On the Eastern side, the miltia were quickly devolving, Britain surrendered to france, and they had lost there great benefactor. An order was given to them, disperse and go under ground. This created a guerrilla war that persists in Northern Ireland to this day (1821). Ireland soon swept in, siezing Belfast and many other important townships. Provisional Irish rule was established in Late July and early August, as guerrillas were routed out. As eyes turned to Paris, [INSERT PART OF TREATY OF PARIS HERE IS REFERENCE TO HOW IT WOULD AFFECT IRELAND]. For the rest of the year, the situation stabilised. In the south, rebuilding commenced, people went about their daily lives as Irish citizens, the fruit of much blood throughout centuries. In February, elections were held in accordance with the new republican constitution. There was full suffrage with all man, whether they be catholic or Protestant, rich or poor. A moderate government under president Patrick Callaghan was established, ready to face the new world. For the next four years he ruled fairly and not decisively, often called the great compromiser. The next election, the radicals were made to be government. President Darsieg Connell took office in 1818, and created a firmer line of policy, threats from unionist guerrillas were not to be taken lightly. Just farming potatoes to live was not enough. He introduced sweeping agricultural reforms, in a bid to make Ireland an Agricultural power. Subsidies were given to the farmers who made the most with the greatest diversity, this included barley, potatoes, things that were suited for the Irish climate. As of now, he retains office, with the next election to be held in 1822.

[Thanatttynia]

Full Nation Name: The United Kingdom of Brazil, Portugal and the Algarves.
Short Nation Name: Brazil.
National Flag: -
Territory: -
Official Language(s): Portuguese.
Form of Government: Absolute monarchy (for the time being.)
Head of State: Pedro I.
Head of Government: Pedro I (although this is purely titular.)
Capital City: Lisbon / Rio de Janeiro.
Population: 3, 000, 000 / 4, 500, 000.
Religion: Catholic.
Army: I'm having some trouble with the size. Any suggestion?
Navy: On the whole, better equipped and larger than the Army. A thriving shipbuilding industry and cheap supplies mean it's well on it's way to being restored to its former glory.
Economic Strength: Most economically powerful nation in South America, but that's not saying much.
Foreign Policy: Attempt to complete as many of it's primary goals without angering France. There is a general mood of defiant restraint in Rio, though the Government is well aware of its limitations and constraints. Assumed the relationship of Portugal to all other nations considering the court is largely Portugal's in exile.
Infrastructure: The roads and cities are safe and well-maintained around the south-east, and there is a safe and well-maintained road stretching from Sao Paulo to Recife through Rio de Janeiro. There are a few safe and viable roads leading into towns in the interior, but beyond that the roads are often dangerous and unsafe. The maritime routes around it's east coast are very well-traveled and safe. There is no reliable or safe way of journeying into the dead interior, though there are small towns and trading settlements along the many rivers in the north.
Primary Goals: Expansion into the interior and overseas when commercially viable; Avenging and possibly re-assimilating the motherland without engaging in direct conflict with France or Spain in Europe; Domination of South America and the oceans thereabouts.
History: In 1807, the Portuguese Court traveled from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro with the threat of Franco-Spanish forces pressing in around them. João VI died in 1819, and his son, Pedro I, who had lived half his life in Brazil, ascended to the throne. Pedro is a liberally-minded, well-read, attractive and popular King (as in real life). Almost all of the aristocracy of Portugal and many more commoners made the transcontinental journey alongside the Royal Family, and the Government has set about establishing itself in Brazil, leaving Portugal and its lower classes under Franco-Spanish rule.
RP Example: None from within the past year or so. I think I'm going to ask for your trust on this one (;
