History: In 1860, Sicily repelled Garibaldi's forces and pushed into Sardinia and then Genoa & Piedmont, halting and later defeating the Kingdom of Italy. In 1891, a rebellion lead by the Fabio of the Katarvezzi Family ousted the Bourbons and established the Katarvezzi family as the ruling family. The revolution began in Salerno, and quickly spread across the central peninsula. Fabio marched on Naples with an army of 7,500 men, and executed the entire royal family, before raising the flag of the Katarvezzi over Naples. He moved the capital to Salerno, as it was where the Katarvezzi originated from, and through a series of trade deals he rapidly industrialized major cities, but left the countryside untouched. This system allowed massive organic food stockpiles to ensure citizens were healthy and never went hungry, while production levels continued to skyrocket. Since the revolution, the family has ruled the nation with a cult of personality and an iron fist. A common piece of propaganda is that Fabio lives forever, as every heir has been named Fabio to create an illusion to the people that their leader is immortal.

What a shitload of text to trawl through.
So to ask important questions : What are Britanian relationship with France? Did it get into Tsundere yet or is it still just a dick-waving contest?
I saw that a Crusade is organizing, would Fharong want to strike a Komemnos style deal where I would get Northern Africa and him the Levant with Jerusalem itself being divided between the two of us? That plus a royal marriage as well.

Well the main point of the war will in all likelihood be defensive against Islamic aggression. But I suppose if war does come then purhaps such a deal will be favorable, as long as we also get lower Egypt. (Alexandria is an important city to the faith)

God damn it, I was going to invade that, so I have a way to attack Jochi.

What do you expect? I will sink any ships that try to interfere with my "volunteer" regiments.

Ha.

[Old Tyrannia]

Do remember I have not caught up who is against who, so I wouldn't know that

You ought to keep armed neutrality then, like East Marches. Keep you out of the fray.

I'd probably take Jochi's side if I weren't afraid of being invaded by Austria. I would like to get my hands on Crete, Cyprus, Malta and the Antilles. As it is I'll probably stay neutral.

Alternatively, if Dagashi doesn't turn up, I may switch to Japan.

My plan is make allies while I try and develop more as a nation, honestly.

Those are internal affairs, I pose no active threat to the caliphate.

Communist have some power within Romania, im sure we wont be all to opposed to you, as long as you dont seek eternal revolution, or too much anti clericalism.

To be fair your mountain border with Austria is one of the easiest to defend in the world.

I'll Ally you if you agree not to support Jochi if he wars against the Byzantium.

Good, I'm trying to keep people out of the war, as to maximise our numerical advantage over Jochi; you would have been able to blockade me if you wanted, but then again, I could do the very same. Good thing I took Switzerland, eh?

I seek development of my nation as a whole... pretty hard with a billion monarchists that would love to annex me

I'll Ally you if you agree not to support Jochi if he wars against the Byzantium.

Deal.

Hey, I don't want the Byzantine to lose, Jochi is close enough already, and he wants Anatolia.

Formal Nation Name: Förenat konungariket Sverige och Norge/De forent Kongeriket Norge og Sverige

Head of Government: Göran Rosen

Population: 16.3 million

Map: RL Norway and Sweden
History (WIP): During the 1860s and '70s, Norwegian demands for a separate foreign service that would represent both countries adequately, as well as separate consulates, reached a head. The joint committee of 1866 brought forth a plan that would lead to a federation of the two states, but it was rejected because of the desire for sovereignty in both countries; during the 1880s and 90s the union deteriorated. In this case, though, the path forward would involve the subtraction of powers from both nations. It was a path that only one man, Francis Hagerup, could see forward. A Norwegian conservative who wished to see the union continue, he recognized the importance of increasing the bonds among the people- yet he felt that this could not be quickly achieved, not without some potential steps backward politically. Over the course of the 1890s, Hagerup led a coalition government to implement his rethinking of the 1866 joint committee's plans. He appealed to the king, Oscar II, to help him in the effort to peaceably maintain the union through the establishment of a united, federal government. Initially Oscar was reluctant to go along with the idea of maintaining the union. But Hagerup made a formidable argument in favor of the idea, one which got Oscar's approval. And in 1896, preparations were made for the creation of the Union government under the Constitution of the United Kingdom of Sweden and Norway. It would be comprised of a bicameral Unionskongress (Union Congress) and several Unionsministerierna (Union ministries), along with a Unions högsta domstolen/Unions Høyesterett (Union Supreme Court), all of which would work to balance each other and carry out specific functions under the guidance of the King. Those of the Congress would be limited primarily to approving budgets for the ministries, although it can legislate more broadly in some fields of competency. The Union ministries would carry out joint economic, trade, foreign and defense policy, while Sweden and Norway would retain all other powers and be free to, within their competencies, legislate independently of one another. As such, the fortifications that were built during the 1880s saber-rattling along the border were, when the United Kingdom's constitution was approved by referendum in 1900, removed over time. For the magnificent and improbable work Hagerup did, he would be known as one of the two Fedreunion, "Fathers of the Union", alongside Oscar II.
The adjustment to the United Kingdom, from two United Kingdoms, was a bit brutal and difficult. Swedes had to accept more open trade, and Norwegians less open trade, than either could have hoped for. Hagerup's successors proceeded on a semi-protectionist agenda, inviting in foreign expertise and sending Swedes and Norwegians abroad to learn some skills, then bringing them back home to foster native industry and instituting tariffs to protect it. At the same time, they exported relatively freely to other nations and developed the Nordic corporatism that would have arisen anyway. Relations with Germany and Britannia were as friendly as could be, but the policy of armed neutrality in disputations was maintained and preferred throughout the 20th century. As the United American Commonwealth spread social liberalism around the world, the Union, though sympathetic to those ideas, feared the worst could result from excessive embrace of soclib and instituted immigration restrictions. Communism was also a notion that the Union aimed to close itself off to, and successfully did so through ideologically testing immigrants and then stripping them of all their possessions before setting them on an arduous path to citizenship, which very few of them could join. Expatriate aspirants also found their hopes limited, unless they agreed to return in 10 years or less having learned some new trade practice abroad. Meanwhile, impulses towards fascism were curbed through the appeal that the Union's Kings made to the steady state of their lands.
As the 21st century approaches, the Union is slowly introducing the Internet into its' territory. Support for social liberalism and relaxed immigration policies is rising fast amongst the youth in no small part due to its' arrival, and the idea that the Union is so culturally and politically stable that a few more foreigners couldn't hurt. Others want to abandon armed neutrality in favor of taking a more proactive role in the world. This century will prove interesting.
Economic Life (optional): Nordic corporatism with a neomercantilist trade policy and nearly-closed borders. The transport system is good but their finished-goods exports, such as machine parts, are declining in quality. It's hoped that some research and trade partnerships with the world's economic and trade giants might fix this.
Imports include luxury foods from around the world, and grain. A lot of people eat fish.
Social Life (optional: While socially liberal, the Union is still a far cry from being called "Captain Sweden-Norway" anytime soon. Gender equality is a thing, though men still hold the majority of positions of leadership in government. Same-sex marriage is considered a foreign idea from the Americas and opposed, though in all other respects homosexuals and bisexuals have equal rights. Cisgender and heterosexual people are the norm and the majority.
The Union's population is mostly disinterested with foreign ideas, preferring to simply adopt the ones that look useful and discarding the rest. They also have some trouble associating themselves well with foreigners, believing them fundamentally alien.

America should partner with Australia to build a rocket sled launch, rather than relying on inferior Communist equipment.
