Name: The Piñonero Islands, Piñonero, Piñonerean, Piñoneri

Symbols:

Maybe more when the nation becomes more developed.

Territory: The Azorean Islands

Government Structure: There is no government mainly down to the fact that the population is less than 25 people at any time. However everyone is generally considered equal and everyone is treated fairly. Voting is only used in the rarely implemented judicial system and when choosing who will leave the settlement to get food. The voting system is pretty basic with people casting an anonymous vote, however candidates for leaving the settlement have two votes.

Ideology/Policy: Equality, fairness, existential nihilism, common unity

Leaders: No leaders. Eldest members of the community generally have the most respect.

Foreign Relations: No relations with other humans, but tries to keep peace and unity with animals and nature

Capital: The island of Saó Maria

Demographics: (How many people live in your country? How many are slaves, how many citizens, how many foreigners? Where do they live, generally? Are they urbanised much? Are they mostly old or young, male or female? Are there any significant trends in wealth distribution, gender, sexual orientation, and all of these against location? Are there any genetics useful to know with relation to your people? In general, describe the demographic makeup of the state) population of 23, all citizens, slavery unheard of, 15 live on Saó Maria, 6 on Santa Miguel and 2 (status questionable) who have been banished to the island of Corvo after murdering 3 people 5 years ago, everyone has similar privileges and wealth, gay and straight couples, 1:1 gender ratio, most of population under 30, only 4 citizens over age of 70

Ethnicity: (What ethnic group, or groups are they part of? Are they perhaps a mix, a new group formed from a mix? Are they an isolate? Who are they related to? Are there any particular characteristics to this ethnicity, either physical or behavioural? How are the people divided in ethnic terms; are ethnic divisions particular prominent, or less so? Consider working with other RPers to answer: What larger ethnic group are the groups part of?) Azores ethnicity, mix of West African and Portuguese

Language: Azorean official language spoken and written.

Religion: No religion

Military Organization: No conscription anyone can serve but most be able to pass the various tests to prove their strength and ability, no pay and only deployed when needed

Army: 12 soldiers, 1 medical physician, 1 wolf tamer, 4 wolves. Poor weapons, wooden throwing javelins, rocks, slingshots, stone spears, shields, leather armour.

Navy: No navy

Air Force: No airforce

Space Fleet: Are you serious

Economy: No currency. Trade of goods drives economy. Equal wealth distribution between all of population

Infrastructure: Shack built from wood and stone. Wooden settlement wall
Trade: Trade of animals and produce between families in the two settlements

Currency: No currency

History: Nothing has really happened. First settlement created about 320 years ago and second formed about 290 years ago. 245 years ago the island was raided by a ship of 5 portuguese pirates but they were captured and then 3 killed whilst two joined the community. This is the only contact with other humans for the population. 5 years ago huge controversy after 2 members of the community killed 3 people during a hunting expedition.

Miscellaneous: Nope

lel,joke, but it is a possibility, though i don't think the OP would do something that drastic, although events and such will happen

[The Orson Empire]

Yes, but I also specify that in wartime, I could mobilize up to 200,000 soldiers (and this number will increase as time moves forward and my population grows)

You don't seem to understand that I'm telling you a professional army of 60,000 soldiers is ridiculously huge for the era.

Armies aren't professional. You levy people and give them training, send them to war, when they win they come back home and till the fields.

I'm not making this up. Egypt actually had a professional army by 1500 BC.

That's 500 years in the future. A bit far fetched for you having a professional army now. I don't want this devolving into an argument, so, please, just accept it as it is. This may be Alternative History, but it still is realistic. It's not realism, per say, but instead just realistic. Having a professional army FIVE HUNDRED YEARS before Egypt had one would be like having the percussion cap breech-loaded rifle in the 12th century.

Incorrect. The current year corresponds to 1,000 BC. This would be 500 years after, not before.

Ah, I see. I hate BCs, but, whatever. You're right ^_^ However, Egypt was one of the first true civilizations in existence. They were ridiculously wealthy; so wealthy that Rome allied themselves by having their two leaders have a child (which led to one leaders doom, but whatever) so that they could enjoy the obscene wealth of the Egyptian peoples. Are you as sophisticated, culturally and technologically, and as wealthy as Egypt? If so, then go ahead. If not, then no.

[Era the Mind]

By the way, everyone, if Orson does meet the "requirements" of having a professional army in this time period, then that means those of you without a professional army are going to be horribly defeated when it comes to war. You poor people :c

You can have a professional army.
I have one, but it's 0.2% of my population because 60,000 men in this era is ridiculous. Lack of logistics, food production capability, organised structure to any extent (granted, inherited from Borizu could be used), lack of infrastructure across the board.

Having a full time army that big would probably break Boemil to a point of no return.

We have recovered from the fall of Borizu, so I would say we are as developed as ancient Egypt.

60,000 soldiers is also exactly 0.2% of my population (Boemil's population is 3 million). We are capable of supporting an army this large, as Egypt is rich in valuable resources such as gold.

That Professional Army would likely be relatively small, confined to what are termed 'bodyguard units', though this is a confusing term as it indicates they are extremely small (ie. 10 - 30 men) while they may reach 100 to 1000 depending on the civilisation. More if you can spam people like India or China.

They form the core blocks of any army, though their usage in battle, whether as reserve troops, frontliners or mixed, depends on what system you are using. All have their strengths and weaknesses. The majority of your troops will be conscripts, probably given a bit of training considering you as :nonEgypt: have a good civ level to do such a thing. Considering that every army will be mostly conscripts, this is no disadvantage.

By the way, everyone, if Orson does meet the "requirements" of having a professional army in this time period, then that means those of you without a professional army are going to be horribly defeated when it comes to war. You poor people :c

I would say that this is incorrect. Professional soldiers at this point will help, but won't guarantee victory. Spamming troops tends to be very effective at this stage of history.

60,000 soldiers is also exactly 0.2% of my population (Boemil's population is 3 million). We are capable of supporting an army this large, as Egypt is rich in valuable resources such as gold.

You are feeding 60,000 men to sit around for most of the year and do nothing. I mean, most of your people will likely be practicing subsistence farming, and so your government would be better served putting away excess grain for times when starvation will be rampant, such as too much flooding, drought or pestilence.

It specifically says that the Egyptian military switched from levy troops to professional soldiers. Furthermore, Egypt faced many enemies at this time (the Mitanni, Hittites, Assyrians, and Babylonians), and thus would need a force of tens of thousands of men to engage in these kinds of fights.

And those 60,000 men will be put to use at the very start of the RP. I have already worked out how my first war will be done with another nation based in Sinai.

[Imperial Idaho]

Application

Poster: Imperial Idaho
Name: Ostrovinka, Ostrovinkan, Ostrovinkanic Tribes,
Symbols:

Territory: Munster and Leinster in Ireland

Government Structure: Federal Monarchy (like the Iroquois), the High King rules over chiefs who govern land. The title of High King is a Hereditary title, though if there are no members of the dynasty eligible (no Females or mentally incapable types) then the Chiefs vote for one of them to take control. Though if a High King is attacking Internal Tribes or violating the rights of the chiefs, then the Chiefs can vote the title to be passed down, the high king can accept or deny. If they deny it's very likely revolts will occur and they typically gain a negative reputation.
Ideology/Policy: The State typically respects other cultures and peoples, follows an expansionist policy in foreign affairs, and promotes trade with other groups.
Leaders: High King Jarri Ost
Foreign Relations: The country generally wishes to cooperate with other nations, and will make treaties to further its own goals. Though the state will also make steps to further its own goals, typically with military usage. Other nations dislike the military usage though enjoy neutrality or treaties made.
Capital: The High King has Longhouses in several major settlements though they primarily govern in the town of Tatoma (a few miles east of present-day Cork).

Demographics: There are around 65,000 people in the nation, and outside of the major cities the population is spread evenly. The Gender percentage is around 50/50, and most of the population is under 30 years old. There is no definite term of slavery though criminals are commonly used for doing physical labor.
Ethnicity: The People are a hardy one, they are pale-skinned and have black to brown hair. The genetic makeup is from the natives of Ireland and groups of migrants from Britain.
Language: The Language spoken is Vinkanic, there is no written form yet, and dialects differ from the region. Vinkanic is spoken in most of Ireland and the Isle of Mann.
Religion: A simple polytheism that is centered around 5 gods (Fros: God of Weather/Seasons/Nature, Rema: God of War, Nuk: God of Civilization, Tamr: God of Farming/Food/Water, and Cosving: God of the Earth/minerals/caves). Several groups have established temples around holy places and do deeds for the Gods.

Military Organization: The army is lead by the High King, who usually appoints a War Chief. The pay is fine, most men join because food and shelter is provided. Men once they become 16 can join arms. Conscription is only used in times of war, or when there is a low soldier count, and there are no reserves in the nation. Soldiers are mostly distinct from city guards, though they protect whatever city they're stationed at.
Army: The military averages around 3,000 troops, 500 of which are Calvary. They are relatively experienced, though could use improvement. Merchants and helpers often follow the army when moving, selling their wares to the soldiers.
Navy: Several ships owned by the Government, though none used in the military.
Air Force: a single bird
Space Fleet: None

Economy: The economy is good for a tribe. There is very little wealth difference besides government officials and leaders. The economy is mainly based on hunting, farming, and mining small ore veins.
Infrastructure: Houses are built out of wood and some into the Earth (Hobbit hole type things). Paths are worn down by people walking on them and are mainly untended.
Trade: The State promotes but does little with trade. Trade is currently done with outsiders trading for copper, though there is little done due to the isolation of the Nation.
Currency: None, Barter system is used.

History: In about 57 B.F.B a man named Ost took control of the Prech tribe that resided in the north of Present-Day Ireland. He migrated the tribe to the south and conquered nearby lands. He appointed chiefs to help him govern the land, and renamed the Tribe to Ostrovinka, meaning Ost's Vinka (Vinka meaning Ireland). His son, Tach, took the last name Ost after his father died. Tach Ost is remembered as an oppressive leader, he had several chiefs killed and their titles stolen. After he was killed the tribe established the new form of government to prevent a ruler like him from gaining power again.
Miscellaneous: Ostrovinka Strongk

It also doesn't mention Egypt having a professional army of 60,000 people: I think the highest number it reaches in the period of history we are in is roughly 4,000.

But I don't see you understanding the points Krug and I are saying - and its a shame - but whatever. March with 60,000 men, I'll look forward to watching it.
