Full Nation Name: Viceroyalty of Brazil
Short Nation Name: Brazil
National Flag:

Territory:

Colonies: None
Client States: None, but is a Client State of Portugal
Official Language(s): Portuguese
Form of Government: Viceroyalty
Head of State: King Oscar IV
Head of Government: Viceroy Pedro II
Capital City: Rio de Janeiro
Population: 7,256,000
Ethnicities: Portuguese, African, and Native American
Culture: The culture is primarily Portuguese but is heavily influenced by African slaves and Native Americans in the country.
Religion: The nation is officially secular, but like its parent country, it's still heavily influenced by the Catholic church.
Army: The small Brazilian army is mainly for self-defense and is not equipped for a war abroad. While they receive the same equipment as their European counterparts stationed in Brazil, they have no standard uniform and are often regarded as militia rather than professional soldiers.
Corpo do Exército I (Based in Rio de Janeiro)
Brigada de Cavalaria I: 3,000 strong
Brigada de Infantaria I: 3,000 strong
Brigada de Infantaria II: 3,000 strong
Brigada de Infantaria III: 3,000 strong

Corpo do Exército II (Based in Porto Alegre)
Brigada de Infantaria IV: 3,000 strong
Brigada de Infantaria V: 3,000 strong


Navy: (same as the army)
Brazil has no navy, preferring to let its liege do the job of protecting the Brazilian coasts and the Amazon.
Economic Strength: Brazil's economy is based almost entirely on selling local goods to its liege. Although there is a handful of factories on the coast of Brazil, its two largest exports are coffee and brazilwood. Although Brazil does have great economic potential in the Amazon region in the form of rubber recently discovered in the region.
Infrastructure: Brazil's road network is very basic, roads in the coastal cities are paved and there is a network of dirt roads linking the cities but beyond the coastal plains the only method of land transportation are Native American trails that are equally dangerous as they are old. In the north of the country, a road network is not required as riverboats on the Amazon provide means of transportation in the region.
Scientific Research and Development: Brazil is focused on the same things as its liege in the field of research
Primary Goals:
1. Expand road network into the hinterland
2. Increase coffee production and exports
3. Expand into the rubber industry
4. Construct a railroad from Rio de Janeiro to Salvador
5. Open trade with nations other than Portugal
6. Raise a sufficient army and navy
History: See the history of Portugal
RP Example: C'mon you know me.

Hey Your king has the same name as mine

[Ficiscia]

Ohh, that sounds fun Could I be a rebel group trying to liberate Switzerland? Some kind of redoing the Rütli oath? Would require some info about how exactly South Germany took over (and controlled) Switzerland though... if it was only recently, for example, we'd still have our army weapons while we would have to resort to whatever we can get if you took us over a few 100 years ago.

That can be said about pretty much any gun if you don't keep it well maintained.

But all things being equal they would not perform as well as their modern successors. In ten years or so we could have something like the french mitrailleuse.

[Sanabel]

My my, those certainly are quite a lot of posts.

Well boys and girls let's get straight to the biscuits.

1. You're all straight savages. I love you all for it, of course. Nice work boys, I expected nothing less from you.

2. Iceland, you're denied, for...obvious reasons. Like how Iceland cant sustain such a large population.

3. Max, you're fecking accepted.

4. PLEASE sort out your claims and history over TG! That would be wonderful and would save me a lot of trouble, as with my colleagues. I will love those who do this forever.

5. If I missed anything, tg me with your issue.

Overall, thanks for handling our noob issue. Onwards to final victory!

Guess what thread has the largest percentage of Swiss-Austria Hungary's posts?

Yeah, but it's fine. I've handled everything, I'll be helping ( I'm thinking its a her ) along and giving her advice from here on out, hopefully we can make a quality rper out of Swiss yet.

Back, and I'm a male.

Could I join as a Japanese Australia? Do you think it would be a good idea before i waste time writing an app?

No. The Japanese would have been fighting a civil war at the time of the POD and then gone into isolation after that.

all equipped with rifled muskets, and are considered the best trained and well-versed in military matters. Around 9,000 are cavalry, whilst 20,000 are infantrymen. However, a less formal militia does exist, and are rampant throughout the land, and in most major hubs of population. Some are better equipped than others, and comprise around 30% of the nation's population.
Navy: Given the mercantile nature of Adairstead, the navy was given particular attention by the government. The navy is comprised of 24 corvettes, 12 frigates, 9 destroyers, 10 cruisers and 16 other miscellaneous ships. The main base of the Adairsteadan navy is in the city of Carrington (modern-day New Orleans)
Economic Strength: The Adairsteadan economy is based off both trade with regional and international countries through the city of Carrington, and also the Mississippi river trade with native groups and other groups on the American continent, alongside a large agricultural base, producing cotton, tobacco, chocolate and other cash crops and an burgeoning industrial sector in New Aberdeen and Carrington. With all of these sectors, the western and northern segments of the land are rather poor, rural and undeveloped, but once headed towards the south and towards the east, wealth increases drastically, and with that, living standards and overall prosperity
Infrastructure: The Adairsteadan government doesn't overwhelming interfere with infrastructure, but does maintain a national road system made out of gravel and stone, connecting major cities to each other. Smaller roads are maintained by local authories and private entities, whilst railroads are usually maintained by private companies, but generally connect major points throughout the country. Overall, Adairstead has a relatively mediocre infrastructure, with the Mississippi river still remaining to be the primary form of transportation throughout the Kingdom.
Scientific Research and Development: The city of New Aberdeen, with Wallace College is the primary institution of scientific research and development, and the hub of intellectual thought and philosophy in the country. Wallace College is well-funded by the government, and continues to do research and development of new inventions. Other than Wallace College, new capital from international trade has been directed by a few newer companies into research of new machinery and newer methods of industrial development to increase profitability. Overall, the country generally supports innovation, but doesn't hold it paramount over expansion or its military.
Primary Goals: Adairstead's main goal is to obtain more land from the natives and expand their military in order to advance their economic position throughout the world.
History: When what is now Carrington was settled by the French Mississippi Company in 1718 as the city of New Orleans, many looked upon the land as a new home, a fresh start, and a land of opportunity. For wealthy mercantile trader John Carrington, it was the perfect land for investment and development. Investing much of his wealth into the city, alongside a militia and navy to defend that city, the city of New Orleans was soon renamed to the city of Carrington, and boomed as a center for both regional and international trade, and Carrington was referred too affectionately by the city's residents as "Sir Carrington". It became both a trading hub, and a small manufacturing area in the new world, as more from all over come to settle in the booming city.

However, when the French soon saw the Carrington militia as a threat to their authority, the French deployed troops to subdue the militia and replace them as the enforcer of the land. Carrington, however, saw the attack as a perfect opportunity to make that city truly his, and defend its interests from the destruction that was leveled by the French. Instead of engaging in a land battle he is bound to lose, he decides to arm the city with cannons, and fire upon any French ships, whilst preventing any French advance from nearby ports in Mississippi through the burning of bridges and using volunteers to ensure that French troops do not advance upon the city by land. Despite his efforts, a few French ships passed his artillery enfilade and entered the city. In the Battle of Carrington, citizens turned against the French troops, and whilst the French troops attempt to subdue the angry mob of civilians, Carrington's militia floods out of the buildings and used the confusion to defeat the French troops.

Carrington, humiliating the French in the battle decides to proclaim the Principality of Carrington. The French, unwilling to contribute more troops decides to agree to their demands, and recognizes the principality's independence. The principality would grow beyond Carrington, and as such, John Carrington, in his last days convinces the parliament to establish the Kingdom of Adairstead, and re-organize the government into a constitutional monarchy. The parliament agreed, and from there, the Kingdom of Adairstead was established. Carrington's sole relative, his second cousin William was crowned as the first king of Adairstead in 1751.

Since 1751, Adairstead aggressively expanded their territory, through both diplomatic and militaristic means, whilst also cultivating the nation into an economic empire, based of cotton, tobacco, chocolate and manufactured products. The country also saw a huge flow of European immigrants, viewing the land as a new hope, and a place for them to surmount their wealth. From there, Adairstead became a new hub of mercantilism in the region.

In recent years, Adairstead has decided to invade Texas, and through diplomatic manipulation and the use of cavalry at the last minute, ensured their grasp on the new territory. Still seeking to expand and advance their economic position, Adairstead still remains to be an independent kingdom, out of the halls of Carrington.

You've been asked to leave.

Leave.

[Ficiscia]

(Delete everything in parentheses)

I will just try and figure out problems face-to-face with Germany (and Italy) and apply in the meantime.

Official Name of your Rebel Group: New Swiss Confederacy (Neue Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft)
Short/Other Names of your Rebel Group: Eidgenossenschaft, Switzerland, the Swiss (plus the French/Italian translations of the name)
Country that you are rebelling in: Switzerland (currently under control of South Germany/Italy)
Base of Operations: Cells in Zurich, Bern, Lucerne, Basel, St. Gallen, Geneva, Lugano and Lausanne. Unorganized groups in rural areas.
Number of Followers/Members: Organized fighters: around 100'000 / unorganized opponents of German rule: about 70% of the original Swiss population
Why you are rebelling: After throwing the Habsburger out in the 1300's, Switzerland was not willing to be a part of the Empire again and fights for its reunion and independence. Also, the protestant strongholds of Zurich, Geneva and Basel want to break free from catholicism.
Popular support: Inside Switzerland - very high / in the rest of the Empire - rather low (but I'll leave that up to South Germany to determine)
Quality of Weapons, from 1 to 10: Between 3 and 6 depending on where we are (higher in rural areas, as hunting etc is more popular). Old firearms as widely spread.
Suppliers: Local Swiss elite. Foreign groups will be determined by RP (as in alliance requests will be sent IC'ly once I'm accepted)
Brief History of Rebel Group: After the South German and Italian invasion, Switzerland was divided. In a renewal of the Rütli Oath, the rebel leaders from Central Switzerland, Zurich, Bern and the East came together in the highly symbolic Rütli, birthplace of the First Swiss Confederacy, to renew the mystical oath taken there. In Italy, the French parts of Switzerland (Valais, Vaud, Geneva) felt oppressed by the Italian reign and formed a rebel group based on the French language, but eventually split from them connecting with Swiss rebels. The goal of the rebel group is a reunion of Switzerland as an independent nation.
RP Example:

The generals gathered around the Tenno, along with the people important for war - the Arisaka and Mitsubishi executives, Takeshi Satsumo, and some others. "THEY DID WHAT?" the young Tenno asked, shaking with anger when he heard about the Russian's atrocities in Karafuto. "This used to be a small territory war. Had we lost it in open battle, I might have fired the General responsible or something. I wouldn't even have minded so much to hand them Karafuto if they would have fought fair and just. An agreement might have been reached. But this is nothing else than a cowardly, backstabbing attack on the honour and the men of the Imperial Army and the whole Empire. Shinji. You will make Russia pay! Or by the name of my father, you will pay for it yourself..." "HAI, Tenno!", Okuya shouted, retreating for a short moment together with Satsumo. "Takeshi, do we have any chances to call Mongolia in based on that treaty you have negotiated? Any other allies maybe?" Satsumo thought and answered: "I think so, maybe there is not something in the treaty, but if we offer them something, they may join. But we have reports that Alaska might want to join us. I was about to suggest sending them a telegram. And if we're lucky, the Dutch might do a few air strikes or something." Okuya quickly drew a map in his head and nodded. "Nice. That will put the old bitch in a three front war. And with China being calm, we shouldn't even face a threat from there." Quickly, Shinji got the Tenno's permission to call the potential allies of Japan into this war and drafted up two more reserve divisions, as well as keeping the four he had on their heels.
