An Age of African Blood and Industry [OOC, Open]

[Sanabel]

Accepted!

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

Want to be friends with Poland?

Ok.
I was actually was going to make Poland my frenemy.

What will that entail?

[World Anarchic Union]

Not me. There are villages in every small island, with appropriate military presence and most importantly, navy. I am only situated there, that's why.
We don't have gold, however, nor many resources. There aren't many merchant ships. That's why I asked, what do you seek in Chatlahaw.

fine, then lets ally. I just take a few islands in the very east just so i can have a nice small peaceful HQ

That would bring tons of problems to me, not to mention that you would be completely far away from Africa and Asia.

[Soviet Chernarus]

kk, but pirates are hit and run and will hide in caves. you will never find me

You underestimate the craziness of the current Mansa. He'll have every cave searched on every part of the coast.

Not to mention that the pirates still would have no chance trying to fight off the world's strongest navy, and other navies that will probably join in to destroy the rest of the pirates as well. Perhaps you'd be better off playing as some sort of pirate nation aligned with one of the Great Powers, or maybe trying to not piss off every naval power in Earth to come and beat yo ass. If you interfere with my Indian Ocean trade, there'll be hell to pay...

[Ralnis]

Is there any room left for Hordes/Khanates?

[Reatra]

Was Penutia accepted?

[Sanabel]

Is there any room left for Hordes/Khanates?

Yes sir!

You could have basically all of non-Mongol Siberia and central Asia.

[Sanabel]

Was Penutia accepted?

Archive! Now!

Army:
Active: 50,000
Reserve: 25,000
Quality/Training: The Imperial Osman Army is a moderately trained force equipped with a mix of weaponry reverse engineered from African rifles and firearms. Born of the need for protection from Indian bands and their war for independence a century earlier, The Army is relatively inexperienced, it's last real war being in a Civil War 60 years earlier.
Navy:
Active: 55,000
Reserve: 35,000
Quality/Training: The Imperial Osman Navy is the strongest naval force in the Americas, a needed asset to the growing economic power. The Navy's Organizational structure is based off that of the Africans, who they see as the strongest nations on the planet.
Air Force:
Active: 2,000
Reserve: 1,200
Quality/Training: The Air Corps is the weakest arm of the Osman's, outfitted only with reconnaissance planes from several years ago. While the pilots are adequately trained, outdated planes and a lack of proper weaponry hamstring the branch.
Economic Strength: The Grand Republic of Osman is a vastly growing economic power on the North American continent. Rapid industrialization of the Holy Rivers( The Great Lakes region ) has improved things greatly throughout the republic, and has catapulted the nation into modernization of the entire nation. While the Holy Rivers region pumps out goods for the continent, Muhammad's Land ( Quebec and the surrounding land ) has become the agricultural center of the nation, providing abundant harvests for the nation, adding to its export based economy.
Infrastructure: The Grand Republic lags behind in infrastructure, with the Holy Rivers region having hundreds of miles of railway and fledgling roadways, while the northern lands only have railways connecting their largest cities, with cart trails connecting most settlements.
Scientific Research and Development: Most of the Osman research and development funds are given to scientists wishing to improve the life of the everyday man, while military research is under funded and remains quieted.
Primary Goals: Create a continent spanning superpower, push the colonial powers from North America

1825-1826- Second Persian-Osman war occurs, greater military buildup do to the HRl leads to a more tolerable treaty, and the annexation of the Holy River League. A Constitution is drafted at the discretion of the people, toppling the Monarchy and instituting a democracy.

A tad rushed, probably needs editing

I like how the Native Americans are ignored in your languages.

If they want nonintervention, that's what they're gonna get

But wouldn't granting their language official status (or at least protected status, as with my Canaan and Arabic) help preserve them?

There's various sorts that you could probably just toss under "Regional languages"

[Cabana]

Wait, if Osman is a secular republic, why do they have a caliph?

It's just called that, I didn't know if Prime Minister/President would work
