I don't think whole states are okay.

Still pretty big, A nation so large with so many cultures and faiths would explode. I would be fine you running a nation roughly this size however, else the map Trotza posted is generally what i would like, though bigger nations of course are allowed.

if its a place like Rhode Island or say Illinois than its fine, though once you go farther West the states get bigger and less feasible to run.

Yeah, western states are huge compared to most east of the Mississippi. Frankly it will be rather difficult to run all of an eastern state given the wide variety of cultures and religions.

Ok what about the former state of Indiana with a thin portion of Illinois including Chicago.

Chicago is taken I believe. Besides, I am going to raid the crap out of Chicago.

Chicago is owned already. Else just about all of Indiana is open.

New Jersey, Kentucky, and perhaps Nebraska and Kansas. Otherwise, there are a few pre-made nations already in existence. Utah, the kingdoms in California, and the super power Confederacy in the South.

Is that big white-ish area above Florida claimed territory?

Sorta. Its a nation in the Lore, but nobody runs them. Its the Holy Columbian Confederation, pre-made but if you want to run them you can. For running a modified nation you can exclude the history if you want.

Well, that works out. Cause I'm in the middle of my application to play the Confederation.

NS Nation Name: Trotza
Country Name: Iowa
Religion: American Catholic
Rulers Name and Title: Willy Holtz, King of Iowa
Flag/logos of nation:
History of your country: Much of the history of the land before the kingdom has been lost. One distinction it has from other realms around it is the relative political and religious stability that has graced it in recent years. Tensions with other northern nations and domestic heretics are still present, but they feel fairly confident in their position and hold over it. In fact this period of steady growth has helped encourage those advocating for a push outwards in search of influence. The current king more and more is becoming part of this varied crowd, his personal favorite being the prospect of going on crusades with the full support of the Papacy and other catholic leaders. Don't be mistaken, there is potential hiding in these farm fields...
Population: roughly 465,000
Army Size and Equipment: 4,000 in the King's personal army (3,500 foot soldiers armed with either crossbows or halberds and 500 noble cavalry)
1,000 hired merchant mercenaries (medium armed and armored river marines who often travel by boat)
about 10,000 levees and peasant militia (lightly trained and equipped in times of need, everything from pikes to slings)
Economic Overview: Most of the production within the kingdom of Iowa is agricultural, and it is also the occupation of most of the populace, who form a large peasant class. While the development of urban centers playing host to artisans and merchants is in its earlier stages, the growth of small cities and large towns is very important to the prospects of their economy in the future. The church also plays a large role in the life of the lower classes, including the collection of religious taxes from the faithful, as Iowa is the catholic stronghold of the upper Midwest.
Territory of country: The ugly ass shade of green lookin thing in Iowa on the map I posted earlier.

Heh. The Hawkeyes flag. That's funny.

State flags can just be so dull and uninspiring sometimes, best to go with what really plays to people's primal instincts.

I have a feeling the farmers can be angrily waving their pitchforks at the encroaching vikings if nothing else.
