Population: WIP
Capital City: Rome
Religion: Catholicism
Military: Small number of Swiss Guard
429

Look at the date, The Swiss Guard is literally hungry peasants with a shield and a shitty spear. You have a real military and not the one form 300 or so years from now

[Finland SSR]

The Swiss Guard does not exist yet.

Weren't they a number of originally-swiss Mercenaries bought by the Papal government?

Yes, but they only came to existence in 1506. Three hundred years after this RP's setting.

I found your actual army.

If you read the history of the region, they had quite a lot of men mobilized, as they had to in order to keep the almohads out.

Feudal armies weren't supplied by the king, no? I'll research.

They were supplied a simple spear and a shield, the problem now is feeding them and tending the fields with fewer men to do so.

nah, you still have a levy. You are the land's lord after all, so why not give those filthy peasants a shield a spear and send them to battle.

[Sanabel]

Popuation of Iberian Pen. circa 1200 - 5 mil or which 1 mil is Portugal

I'll reduce to around a million I guess.

Reserve England! (Unless it's taken, then reserve the Holy Roman Empire.)

[The Kingdom of Glitter]

Application
Nation Name: The Kingdom of Scots
Population: ~715,000
Capital City: Edinburgh
Religion: Christianity
Military: All of the clansmen of Scotland are trained in combat, however official levies range between 10,735 and 35,750 which are raised via the vassals of the King. More men can be raised if the situation turns dire or they are needed to reinforce offensive forces via the clans, most of which send small militias to fight as parts of the levies. The Scots are a force to be reckoned with due to their rugged nature, only akin to the ruggedness of the Highlands they descend from.

Mostly because the Popes temporal power at the time was highly limited. Mostly feudal lords who reigned in the Popes name, with the Pope having little to no influence outside of Vatican city on the actual policies of the local warlords.

Remove one more zero on the military count and it's accepted. You can add some filthy peasants when needed.

Nov/Kiev/Gal/VladSuz all had like 1-1.5 million. Gal and Kiev are closer to 1.5, Nov/Vlad closer to 1 mil. That switches post Mongols. Everyone else is between 250,000 and 750,000 generally.

Keep the realism where it belongs if you get accepted please.

[Krugmar]

Application
Nation Name: Bulgarian Empire
Population: Possibly 2 - 3 million, considering the amount of soldiers able to be mobilised, unable to find any sources.
Capital City: Tarnovo
Religion: Orthodox Christianity
Military: 100,000, of which 15 thousand are heavy cavalry can be mobilised, but around 20 - 30 thousand is the usual number for a campaign. More info here. Fighting against the great powers surrounding it, such as Hungary and the Roman Empire, has left the Bulgarian state heavily militarised. Often large numbers of Cuman mercenaries are drafted into the armies, and Bulgarian commanders have a ruthless and efficient reputation throughout Europe.

Im planning to rampage across Northern Europe straight to the pagan lands, personally.

[Liecthenbourg]

Actually, Emilio. Can I reserve the Roman/Byzantine Empire?
