I can't make a map because I'm on mobile, and my school laptop is stupid. I do use them both for writing, but that's all I can do with them.

I'm going to say the latter is Mandatory and a step further to boot, if no image representation is on the app I will make assumptions and they will be negative and non-negotiable, I have better things to do with my time then sit with google maps wikipedia and a magnifying glass.

Cymrea wrote:Full Nation Name: United Kingdom of Cambria (Cambrian Empire)
Majority/Official Culture: Welsh, English
Territorial Core: England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Isle of Man, Channel Islands, Orkey Islands, Shetlands, Canada, Alaska panhandle, Washington state, Australia, Jamaica, Ivory Coast (Cote d'Ivoire), Cambrian Sinai (or Cambrian Aegypt), Ascension Island.
Territorial Claim: Western USA, New Zealand
Capital City: Londinium (RL London)
Population: 37.3 million (Populstat 1870)
Government Type: Constitutional monarchy
Government Ideology/Policies: Imperialist
Government Focus: Military, economy/industry, science
Head of State: Queen Victoria o Rosa Regina (Alexandrina Tudoria Victoria)
Head of Government: Consul Primaris William Caledonis Gladstone
Government Description: The Cambrian Parliament is a bicameral legislature composed of the Circle of Archons (upper house of peerage) and the Circle of Praetors (lower house of commons). The Royal Senate is the executive cabinet of specialised advisors in particular ministries who advise the Consul Primaris.
Majority/State Religion: Cambrian Paganism
Religious Description: Cambrian Paganism is a less a religion than it is a communal spiritual connection to the natural world. Central to the faith is the idea that all things are interconnected; the seasons, the life cycles of humanity and the world around them, and the apparent order of all things. The belief that all things have their own spirit, similar to Shintoism, and the exploration of the natural order through the scientific method are mutually inclusive. Celebrations and observances include the solstices and equinoxes of the sun cycle, the lunar patterns, the sowing and the harvest. Balance and karma are also strong concepts in Cymrean Paganism.
In addition to the natural spirits are a pantheon of semi-deities - more like heroes and champions of legend and myth that are venerated, and whose interventions are often sought. These include Dadga, the All-Father and chief amongst Cambrian heroes; Tyr, greatest of warriors and champion of courage; Atalanta, the legendary ancient naval commander and hero of the seas; Morgana, the lady of death; and Wyrd, the champion of fate and chance. These icons represent certain facets of the world and provide a source of potential providence. As they are - purportedly - based on real Cambrians that once lived, they aren't worshipped as gods, per se.
Economic Ideologies: Mercantilism, leaning to capitalism
Major Production: Industrial equipment
Economic Description: Leading the world in financial services, resource extraction, and global trade, Cambria maintains a powerhouse economy that is increasingly enriched by industrial manufacturing.
Army and Navy Strengths and Weaknesses: Cambria's military is about 1% of their population, which is over 34 million. I haven't expanded that because it's only been a couple of IC years. This means that with all my vast territories to defend, I have only 320,000 regular and reserve forces in my armies and navies combined. The result is that localised garrisons are required to be largely self-reliant across all of Cambria, Canada, Australia, Jamaica, Ivory Coast, and Cambrian Aegypt.
Having the largest navy means being able to cover my disparate regions and their commercial shipping lanes without leaving ports undefended. Discipline means they can fight in formations, maneuver well, and have a low chance of breaking/routing. Well-trained and well-equipped speak for themselves.
National Goals: Maintain the empire
National Issues: Tolerance of modern paganism
National Figures of Interest: High Druid Owainn
National Ambition/Aspirations: Imperial expansion and global prosperity
History: As the northern tribes assaulted and settled a Britannia recently bereft of Roman garrisons, they found a stable and comfortable quality of life and so Roman influence never faded, but instead flourished in its own way.
In the 15th Century, the popularity of Maria Tudoria Elizabeth I was extremely high, but her Privy Council, her Parliament and her subjects thought that the unmarried queen should take a husband; it was generally accepted that, once a queen regnant was married, the husband would relieve the woman of the burdens of head of state. Also, without an heir, the Tudor dynasty would end; the risk of civil war between rival claimants was a possibility if Elizabeth died childless. The first and most ardent suitor was Mary I’s widower Philip II of Spain. However, numerous other suitors from nearly all European nations sent ambassadors to the English court to put forward their suit.
Risk of death came dangerously close in 1564 when Elizabeth caught smallpox, and British destiny forever changed. It is said that in her fever, she experienced a holy visitation from a source no one would ever have suspected, given her moderate yet adamant Protestant views. Elizabeth claimed that Danu, mother goddess to the Tuatha de Danaan – the forerunners of modern Celts – came to her in her hour of greatest peril and told her that the elder gods had returned from their long celestial journey to reclaim the hearts and spirits of their Briton children. Elizabeth quickly recovered and proclaimed the vision a miracle.
The Second War of the Roses followed, with House York rising up with the support of all Christians of the realm, many of them Lancastrian. But a return to the original gods and a renewal of ties to the land was popular among the laymen and more nobles than might have been thought joined the Tudor cause. The Church of England reacted virulently, supporting the Yorkists and declaring Elizabeth and her revived Druidism anathema. In response, Elizabeth decreed the Church to be valid, but no longer the faith of the Crown and State. Popular revolts against the clergy resulted in the Church’s presence being reduced to Yorkist fortifications. In the end, the overwhelming popularity of Druidism resulted in the expunging of the Church of England.
The initial reaction from Rome was one of support for Elizabeth, seen as a scourge against the Protestants. The Vatican believed that Catholicism could be reinvigourated in Britain. Too late, the Pope realised that the movement was strong enough to hold permanent sway over the nostalgic Britons. Having supported the movement at its inception, the Pope could not exactly call for a Crusade – especially given that Rome was greatly occupied with the Holy Land, and that Britain held nothing of geographical or theological importance for Catholicism. Indeed, the pagan artifact Stonehenge became a leading symbol for the Druid revival, something the Vatican wanted no part of. As a result of the successful Druid Movement, Elizabeth conformed readily to the idea that marriage and birth-giving were natural cycles of the gods-given Earth. She married Edwardius Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, in 1565. After much anticipation and anxiety, Elizabeth finally gave birth to Augustus Tudorius Taliesin I in 1575; Prince Taliesin succeeded his mother to the throne in 1603.
The nation’s identity as a Welsh state of Roman influence was solidified when, in 1599, Prince Taliesin suggested the name Cambria, a Roman version of Cymru, the Welsh name for Wales. The name was officially adopted November 3, 1601, and was declared the national holiday by Queen Elizabeth. Later, the name of the family line would be changed to Rosa, to reflect the Tudor rose. This incited a sweeping change of name for all noble Houses of Cambria, who would not be left out. Native flora and fauna became symbols - and names - for the oldest Houses. After a similar popular Druidic Movement, Ireland joined the United Kingdom of Cambria. Today, Cambria spans the world and is often informally referred to as the Cambrian Empire.

The V O I D wrote:Full Nation Name : The Italian Empire ; Imperium Italiae ; The Empire of Italia
Majority/Official Culture : Mix of Roman and Italian.
Territorial Core : I'm on the map already; the Italian peninsula, plus Croatia and that general weird navy-blue thing.
Territorial Claim : Claims colonies in Africa, and has ambitions to reclaim the 'Western Roman Empire'.
Capital City : Rome. It's where Rome is, of course.
Population : Approx. 30 million (give or take a few).
Government Type : Semi-Constitutional Monarchy.
Government Ideology/Policies : Imperialist, expansionist, militarist, etc.
Government Focus : Italia's focus mainly lies in its culture, military and economy; it has a proud culture based on the Roman Empire and considers itself the successor to the Western Roman Empire.
Head of State : His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Antonius Quintus III
Head of Government : See above.
Government Description : The Italian Empire has a semi-constitutional monarchy; the Imperial Senate (unicameral) is proportionally elected on its political parties and such based on how the voters throughout the Empire vote. The Italian Empire is a unitary state. The Emperor has supreme executive powers; both in regards to military, domestic and abroad (he can create treaties without necessary approval from the Senate, unless the Senate performs a 3/4ths vote of vetoing the treaty). The Empire is also influenced by the Catholic Church, though this influence is dwindling as Paganism is on the rise.
Majority/State Religion : Catholic Christianity (officially).
Religious Description : The Catholic Church holds some level of influence in both the Senate and with the Emperor, but this influence is dwindling as Paganism is on the rise. It is otherwise basically Catholic Christianity.
Economic Ideologies : Capitalism, borderline laissez-faire when it comes to doing trade with Byzantium.
Major Production : Industrial goods.
Economic Description : The Italian economy is very capitalist and has very little government intervention; corporations make donations to the Imperial family as well as to the Senate to remain in their favor, and influence politics to some degree.
Army Strength : Well equipped, efficient, well trained, somewhat large.
Army Weakness : While large for a nation its size, the Italian Empire's army is smaller than others.
Naval Strength : Large/strong ships, large navy, quality weapons/equipment.
Naval Weakness : The Imperial Fleets, though strong, need frequent refueling and they struggle to wander too far out of the Mediterranean.
Further Military Description : N/A.
National Goals : Recreate the Western Roman Empire, strengthen relations with Byzantium, consolidate power, increase military power.
National Issues : Catholicism vs Paganism, Church vs Government, Socialism/Republicanism vs Monarchism, among others.
National Figures of Interest : The Emperor, of course; Pope Pius IX.
National Ambition/Aspirations : The Italian Empire is driving towards being able to reclaim all "lost territories" from when it was once the Western Roman Empire.
History :
- 27 B.C. - Roman Empire established.
- 306-337 AD - The Reign of Constantine the Great; Rome becomes Christian. The Roman Empire also splits into West and East.
- 1453 AD - Fall of the Western Roman Empire; death of the "Last Emperor of the Old Empire."
- 1454-1500 AD - The Era of Strife; multiple Kingdoms vying for power, with the Church trying to hold everything together but not seizing power due to some anti-Christian feelings in some minor Kingdoms.
- 1501 AD - The Kingdom of Italia emerges victorious on the Italian Peninsula; it becomes the Italian Empire.
- 1575 AD - The Neo-Caesarian Dynasty ends; the Second Augustine Dynasty begins.
- 1624 AD - The Italian Empire acquires its current borders.
- 1680 AD - The Italian Empire opens relations with the 'Roman Empire'/Byzantium once again, and begins establishing trade and forming relations.
- 1740 AD - Death of Emperor Julius Quintus; Antonius Quintus I begins his reign.
- 1790 AD - Death of Antonius Quintus I; Antonius Quintus II becomes Emperor.
- 1840 AD - Death of Antonius Quintus II; Antonius Quintus III becomes Emperor.
- Present - The Italian Empire is strengthening its military as well as trying to become better friends with the Byzantines. The Church is starting to lose power as Pagan temples begin cropping up.
