You can safely ignore the Inca reservation for now, I can't find it, and even if it existed at some point, we can safely ignore it. You could get Guinea, Amazonas, and Peru if you'd like.
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

No, a post from a previous iteration of AD will do. Maybe post a link to it just for the sake of form. We do like our bureaucracy.

Army Weakness : The Confederate Army is led by a large number of generals trained during the 1870s and 1880s and as such are often needlessly risked forming antiquated line formations. However, studies of new machine guns are gradually leading to the reform of the Army's tactics and organization.

Naval Weakness : The Confederate Navy lacks a substantial submarine force, limiting their ability to interdict enemy shipping.

The Caribbean Fleet boasted an addition 18 Battleships, 5 Battlecruisers, 14 Light Cruisers, 60 Destroyers and Flotilla Leaders, and 25 Submarines. The River Fleet boasted 44 Torpedo Boats and 58 River Monitors.
National Goals : To reclaim Virginia from UKA (peacefully if possible), to capture Louisiana and Texas to exploit their resources
National Issues : Race Relations (not that the government will ever admit that), Income inequality (not that the government is likely to admit it)
National Figures of Interest : Major General Jeffery T. Graves, Senator Timothy W. Wing, Marvin Tredegar, Rigel Goldberg
National Ambition/Aspirations : To become the most powerful nation in North America
History : In 1785, the states of South Carolina, Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia seceded from the United Kingdom of America, forming the Confederate States of America. Over the next several decades, the Confederacy would expand, adopting a constitution that gave broad powers to the Federal Government but also gave more specific powers to the states. Negotiations with the UKA in the hopes of a peaceful resolution, though continuous, were ultimately fruitless.
Events came to a head in 1836 when, concerned about the potential expansion of slavery and finally given an excuse to punish the South, the UKA invaded Virginia. In the bloody four year war that followed, Richmond and Petersburg burned as did Baltimore and Harrisburg. In the end the UKA had claimed large territories from the Indigenas to the west and the state of Virginia, in reparation from the South. The peace with the CSA was formalised with the Armistice of Appomattox in 1840.
In 1860, bitter after the defeat in the Virginia War, the CSA launched a brutal surprise attack into Virginia with the aim of retaking it. A Confederate Army of 140,000 men entered Virginia and began the brutal task of retaking the homeland of some of the Confederacy’s greatest military leaders. The Army was led by the now 53 year old Army Officer Robert Edward Lee, who succeeded in handing the UKA some rather sound defeats. The Second Virginia War lasted for five long years and killed some 700,000 men. The war left Virginia in a sorry state and still in UKA hands.
After the War, the Confederacy began the laborious three decade process of rebuilding and growing its economy. The loss of the Northern Factories forced the South to build more factories and shipyards, a process taking the better part of the next twenty five years. During this time, additional economic pressure from Europe forced the Confederate Government to free the African slaves from bondage in 1890. However, the Confederate Government did not enforce the emancipation and so many African-Americans remained enslaved in all but name. The former slaves were not granted citizenship and, as such, were unable to vote and, in many districts, were denied many basic constitutional rights, such as assembly, association, and even trial by jury.
The situation of African-Americans in the Confederacy has not improved much in recent years, though one could argue quite well that their situation hasn’t improved at all, however the economic situation of the Confederacy itself has never been better. The economy is on the rise, with a Gross Domestic Product of approximately $100 billion, or $3.4 trillion in 2016 dollars, up from $42 billion in 1890.

History: For centuries, the people of the Arabian peninsula lived isolated lives. There was no Arab nation, only tribes that roamed the deserts, hoping from oasis to oasis, raising cattle and just surviving. This was once not the case, for once all of Arabia and the land of sand was ruled by a mighty caliphate, created by the successors of Gods Prophet himself. They ruled a land, not of tribes, but of one Arab people. Then the Romans came, and the Arab people stood their ground, only to fall to Persian daggers lodged in their backs. The Caliphate fell, and Arabia slowly was obsorbed by the empire of new.
All has been conquered, except for one place. The inhospitable Arabian Peninsula; a vast track of uncrossable desert, where no Roman or Persian has dared to step foot in. There, the Arab peoples ran, there God gave them shelter. There, the centuries of Tribes went on, before an act of god ended it. In his sleep, Hussein bin Ali recieved the word of god. He called for Hussein, he called for him to do his work and to reunited the peoples of the Desert, to once more form a land of Arabs, ruled by neither Roman or Persian.
He took his rightful place as the Emir of Mecca, and began to expand his power. Over the many years, he began to assimilate more and more power, absorbing new Tribes into his control through Bribes, Diplomacy and when needed, Force. In 1880, he declared the Republic of Arabia, and he moved his government to the city of Riyadh, so as to be more central to the empire. In 1892, Hussein died of a tumor, and the nation was sent into a panic. For all these years, Hussein had ruled as a dictator, but now without him here there was no power. A collection of city leaders met in Riyadh, conveening the first ever Peoples Assembly. They passed the first, and only, law to be passed by the Assembly, a law which ammended the Consititution to force Emir's to serve One Ten year term.
After Hussein, a new Emir had been elected, Ali bin Hussein. He brought about many Economical Reforms, including subsidies on the Mining and Shipping industry, along with the creation of the Arabian Colonies on the Horn of Africa. He built Arabia's first official Fleet of ships, which began to protect trading in Arabian Waters from the infamous pirates of the area, along with enforcing Arabian rule in the Colonies. When the days flew by, and the new millenium came, Hussein stepped down, and the next Emir of Arabia was elected; Faisal I.

As such, I'd recommend abandoning Australia, and keeping only the islands and New Zealand. And the very most, maybe southeastern Australia.

Is the Arab Republic App ok?

Don't quote me on that, but the military numbers might be too high. Especially in the navy, if it was established only a few years earlier, I sort of doubt that it could reach such a size, even if you are in a prime position to become a naval power in the future.
