The Era of the Enlightened(OOC/Sign UPs/AH-RP)

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

Let's not completely discount Venice. If they worked with sailed ships, they could easily get across the Atlantic. The problem is... well, population base. An island made mostly of marble isen't exactly in the best position to get you the kind of population you need to support colonies beyond trading posts. But they'd still be a notable power on the mainland

No, population is no problem, they had more people than Spain in 1500. And I doubt their population has gone DOWN.

The problem is getting past the Muslims in Iberia into the Atlantic.

I don think Venice has the spare manpower or resources to spend on a colonial adventure, especially one that has to be supplied through a Muslim Adriatic, Med, and Gilbraltar.

Generic Info
Nation Name: Shakur Tawantinsuyu
Symbols: fleg
Homeland Population: 18 million (up from 6 million 150 years ago)
Imperial Population: 12,340 (Galapagos)
Location/Claims: Ja
Capital City: Qosqo


Government Info
Government Type: Absolute Bureaucratic Monarchy
Brief Explanation of Government: The Sapa Inka is the absolute monarch, while the administration is split into four provinces, which are made up of dozens of provinces themselves. Only the Inka can become rulers, but competent young adults can take an exam to enter the Inka class. Also the government owns everything and there's a labor tax.
Ideology: Expansionism, Mitm'a Settlement, Autarky, Communalism
Leader/s: Sapa Inka Rimak Shakur

Population Info
Brief Description of your people: See Below
Religion: Intism
Ethnicity: Runa Simi
Main/Accepted Culture(s): Runa Simi
Other Cultures: Machupe

Military Info
Army: Literally "The Army". Numbering roughly 300,000 men, mostly made up of conscripts who are serving their labor tax, but being a professional soldier is a respectable profession, and many young men decide to go that route. Now armed with muskets and a growing population of cavalry horses (although infantry and llamas are still far more useful in the mountains) and iron weapons, the still primitive tribes surrounding Tawantinsuyu are far behind.
Navy: Literally “The Navy”, far less developed than The Army, The Navy is made up of twenty of what could be considered “strange looking Almohad frigates”, thirty “weird transports…?”, three “Okay, I can tell it’s a man-of-war… but seriously?” And several hundred reed boats and canoes. A total of 13,000 personnel man the navy.

Other Info
Brief Description of your Economy: Palace Economy Autarky. The government owns everything, and issues a labor tax in addition to a tax in kind. Therefore there is never a shortage of laborers to build things.
Goals: Conquer the world, at least South America and the Pacific. Colonize the Plains of La Plata. Colonize the Pacific, regain our population.
History: In 1320, the Kingdom of Qosqo went on a conquering spree. By 1440 they had all of the Andes and some of the jungles in the north under their communalist economy and administration. By 1530, when the smallpox started coming, they had a unified culture and language throughout the Andes, with nearly 46 million people. But that dropped down to six million by 1540, and the deaths destabilized the realm. There was a two decade period of instability as different factions of the Inka class battled for power, but in the end he who adopted horses and gunpowder won the day. Sapa Inka Kusi Shakur marched into Qosqo on May 14th, 1554, and began to reform Tawantinsuyu. His new dynasty reinstituted the labor taxes, and the resettlement programs. Horses and oxen allowed for dense settlement of the plains in the south-east, and gunpowder allowed for continued conquests and written word further assimilation, as was the Inka way.

Which is what I said. They have enough people to make at least a sort of Portugal-esque trade empire, but not the environment.

Prussia cannot into colonies?

Colonies drain money and manpower, both of which Prussia spends heavily upon its army.

I see. The only reason I can have colonies(other than my monies) is that Tuscany is Catholic, but doesn't care if your Muslim of anything, they're just like "Well, money is money."

I am going to go out on a limb and say that no med nations without Andalusian approval will be founding colonies. Especially Christian ones.

Tfw Napolistan is sucking up to all the Muslim powers

[Sanabel]

So, what do you guys, (besides Dutchy; he's biased out of love for me) think about Napolistan having maybe one colony, somewhere? It would probably be small. Like tiny.

Tunisia?

It isnt a colony, it's an integral part of the nation.
