Accepted!

But you probably will be a mix of Saami, Arab, Mongol, and Kazakh peoples.

Want to be friends with Poland?

The Ik Ka Ek Akai wrote:
Full Nation Name: קרקעות ארצות כנען (The United Land of Canaan)

Short Nation Name: Canaan; Phoenicia; Israel; Zion; Syria (native: Kana'an)

National Flag: (Image)

Territory: Israel-Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Antioch, Sinai (if possible, saw something about Egypt already being taken)

Colonies: N/A

Client States: N/A

Official Language(s): Hebrew, Phoenician* (with regional protection of Aramaic and Arabic)

Form of Government: Monarchy

Head of State: Atarah Azibal bat Yehudah Kohenet (Atarah Azibal, daughter of Judah, the priestess)

Head of Government: Same as above

Capital City: Jerusalem

Population: 31 million (using population statistics from 2000)

Ethnicities: Jewish, Lebanese, Syriac, Mashriqi Arab (though, in dated terminology, they all fit under the "Syrian" ethnicity)

Culture: Canaanite (Hebrew and Phoenician cultures are, indeed, so similar, that there was once a time they were not even considered separate ethnicities)

Religion: Yahwism (to be explained in history)

Army: The Canaanite army consists of approximately 1 million active personnel of both male and female types, as both are seen as being required to defend the homeland. They use the most up-to-date equipment they can find, such as bolt-action rifles and gas grenades. The army is given the second priority, however, to the navy, according to ancient traditions. When able, mercenaries are also known to be employed to aid in battles against superior enemies. There is no set amount of soldiers operating tanks or artillery in contrast to general infantry, with the number fluctuating depending on the needs. When such fluxes occur, secondary specialists may be employed in another field, or specialists may be converted to general infantry.

Navy: The navy is given the higher priority over the army, and is thus granted more funding. In order to ensure maximum effectiveness, the navy (as well as the army) is typically divided by ethnicity, with Arab groups, Canaanite groups, and Aramaic groups. A sergeant will command one of these groups, a lieutenant will look over several of the same type, a major will overlook several of two ethnic groups, and a general or admiral overlooks multiple of these. Due to the ship-based structure of the navy, entire ships will likely be filled by one ethnicity rather than the looser squad-based grouping of the army.

Air Force: The air force, like most during the historical World War 1, is not the peak of the military. It consists of biplanes and bombers, entirely lacking an airship component. These planes are mostly experimental, with more expensive models having a machine gun mounted on them, and less expensive ones giving the pilot a rifle.

Economic Strength: The economy has, historically, been one of excellence. Phoenician trade legacy carried on to the state after its independence, and the neutral religious position allowed for trade between both Islamic and Christian worlds in the Middle Ages and beyond. Thus, it acted almost like a second Constantinople, providing exotic goods to Europeans, and the number of Jewish bankers and traders coming from Europe (where those professions were some of the few they were allowed to have in olden days) aided further in building wealth. It is highly prosperous for its size, competing decently with larger powers, but not quite a superpower.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is moderately maintained. There are a few paved roads crossing the entirety of the nation. These highways are the most well-maintained, with a couple train lines also cooperating. While far from the ideal, it does well enough. Governmental buildings are probably the peak of infrastructure, with a few impressive palaces appearing near major cities, both left over from previous countries and newly built. The navy holds a larger portion, having about 1.5 million active service members.

Scientific Research and Development: The scientific progress of the nation is, aside from military, lagging slightly behind others due to its relative strength. While other nations are superpowers governing vast territory, Canaan instead holds a much more humble kingdom. With the funding placed into military, something had to suffer, and so development otherwise is between 10 and 20 years behind.

Primary Goals: Survival, economic growth, possible colonization.

History: Around the time of the Crusades, before Plague wiped the lands of Europe, fierce warriors would travel across the sea and land to fight the Caliphs in West Asia. Both European and Islamic states were weakened overall by this, though it would eventually lead to increased wealth in the world via the revival of open trade in previously closed regions. The native populations were typically suppressed under both Christian and Islamic rule, with none but a few Norman knights taking pity and giving mercy. In outrage, the Jewish and Syriac Christian populations rose up, taking advantage of the weakened nature of their overlords to establish a new kingdom. Initially unstable due to religious differences among the population, the Jewish populace came to take hold of the government. Policies of tolerance were quickly established to protect the internal stability, and the small amount of people who still spoke Phoenician gained protection and even encouragement as a movement to contain Islam and the Arabic habits from dominating. Alliances with whomever would take them were quickly established, and a safe position was found.

In time, the Plague came and went. Europeans suffered the most, but it did indeed hit the Jewish kingdom briefly. Population did, over the next century, recover steadily. With trade routes having been long established in the region, its power as a trade node grew rapidly with the collapse of Europe and its merchant republics. There was, for a brief time, very little competition in the Western market. Steps were taken within the rising Phoenician populace to reunite the Canaanite people. Scholars of Judaism noted the similarities between their faith and the Phoenician polytheistic one, and eventually a priest-king by the name of Ahirom would found the Third Temple, painstakingly created to biblical description, and officially declare the Phoenician polytheistic faith and Judaism to be separate sects of a singular, united religion. Thus, Judaism became synonymous with "Yahwism" or "Elohism", the reverence of the common king of the gods over all others.

Over what would've been the Renaissance era, the united Canaanite culture prospered. Phoenicians found rapid expansion, from their original numbering of less than 100 in a single village, to tens of thousands by the end of the 16th century. The speakers in the village were initially employed to teach others in the Lebanese region, as well as urban centers in Damascus and Jerusalem. The Phoenician identity, being cognate to the dominant Hebrew one, was quickly adopted by many of the native Lebanese and Syrian Arabs, who had the Phoenician lineage but had been forcibly converted to Arabs in the earlier days of the Caliphs.

Over the next few centuries, the Canaanites became the dominant populace by far. Syriac Christians, known colloquially as Arameans, were left to majority within inland Syria, while the Mashriqi Arabs were only a majority in Jordan by the turn of the 20th century. In the course of the next 100 years, secularization would begin to be implemented, though the official state religion remained as Natib Qadish, the native name for the Canaanite faith. The nation would begin to lag behind, just a bit, in most aspects as the ways of the world began to shift. It now holds position as a secondary power, on par historically with nations like Mexico, Greece, and Bavaria, who held significant importance without being dominant.

I was hoping for that hugeass empire to exist.

Will you take it back if we get rid of the Fascist Siberians and/or the Kazakh rebels? You could have genocided/assimilated them if you wanted to!

If you want.

I would've taken part of Persia if I were you, or at least the rest of the Russian Far East, as without one of those, it would be very hard to be industrial due to a lack of resources or even sea routes for efficient trade. So without those, it would be hard to into superpower. But you could easily have taken Persia, because basically all the Persians are dead.
