Before anything major happens with this app... few things:
1) Your post was created AFTER my extension. I am just about had it enough with folks not responding even when I gave 48 hours lockout, so I am just about ready to drop the reserve... but technically Muscovite Khanate of all things should occupy north of your territory. So you may be dropped if Western Imperial shows up. Doubt it, he doesn't have long to do so, but he might... so a fair warning
2) Communism in One State... or Communism in One Country... is a Stalinist ideology that didn't appear in IRL until 1924-ish. Your history would have to explain why Stalinism... WHICH WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT NAME SINCE IT ISN'T STALIN WHO INVENTS IT... will have risen so much earlier in our AltDiv timeline. Communist Manifesto was 1848 publication, so it isn't wildly speculative for Communist state to arise with right paths, but Stalinist Communism wouldn't be here for at least 20 or so years, so a fair warning here.

I'll keep an eye out for the return, I'll still work on the app because I'm personally interested in this idea.
I'll make ample history and new people to justify Communist ideology, Communism in One State was chosen so as to appear non-combative to other powers. In short I'm not advocating for the global revolution currently.

You mean socialism in one country. Stalin never claimed that the USSR was a functioning communist society, nor that communism was achievable in a single country without a global revolution.

Yes I do mean that, I was just talking in the context of my fictional country.

Majority/Official Culture : Proto-Northern Chinese
Territorial Core : Khazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan
Territorial Claim : Eastern Roman Empire as far south as Etheopia, west to Hungary, Caucausus regions, Ural, Eurasia as far west as Ukraine, extending to pacific. China extending to Tibet in the South, Ariana, northern India; Japan.
Capital City : Vozrozhdenzlys Island, Rozhden.
Population : 8.8 Million
Government Type : Tribal monarchy, ala Germanic Kingship
Government Ideology/Policies: Secular, Militaristic, Neutral
Government Focus : The government's focus is bringing unity to a fractured nation, rife with old wounds with still-fresh scars. Religion has been a divisive issue for several centuries, one that can only be cured by marked secularism, in the eyes of Tzun Xhu
Head of State : King Tsun Xhu
Head of Government : General Menx Xhu
Government Description : Quasi-tribal government, very decentralized, focused on developing trade and a strong military, while maintaining public order.
Majority/State Religion : Secular
Religious Description : The populace is tired of religious conflict, and have adopted a uniquely secular lifestyle.
Economic Ideologies : Primitive Mercantilism, government is not developed well enough to have a uniform policy.
Major Production : (In order of volume)Coal, ferrous metals, crude oil, cannabis products, aluminum, potatoes, opium products, fish
Economic Description : Stable, raw-resource export focus, little industrialization
Tech Group: Eastern European/Oriental. No electricity or running water in 95% of country. No telegraph infrastructure. Capitol has running water and basic electrical power grid. No weapons factories; everything is made by skilled craftsmen. Highly sophisticated oil and mineral extraction processes, refinement processes are on par with industrialized nations due to a history of foreign investment.
Only one higher learning facility in nation; Royal Military Academy of Engineering & Science. Public education unheard of outside of capitol.
National Goals : Modernize country, improve infrastructure, strengthen military, expand control over resource-rich regions
National Issues: Small, outdated military, lack of infrastructure, lack of industrialization outside of mining
National Figures of Interest : Tzun Xhu, led coup against foreign-backed dictatorial regime, along with his brother, Menx Xhu. Folk heroes, they both led in battle bravely, earning themselves a repution of courage, valor, and fearsomeness. Tzun Xhu is the more austere, grounded of the two, looking out for the long-term interests of the country. Menx is a man of the people, a little less down-to-earth, and more prone to ostentatious living.
National Ambition/Aspirations : Little more than a mish-mash of liberated peasants, the populace has few ambitions of its own beyond not going hungry, being raped by oppressors, or getting killed.
Army Strength : The land forces of Zhur, while small, are augmented by militia units and popular support. Fighting an offensive war against Zhur would prove to be quite a challenge for even the most well-organized and equipped army.
Army Weakness : With few regular units, and logistically challenged, a military offensive in its current state is out of the question for Zhurese forces.
Naval Strength : Small area of responsibility, no navies to contend with.
Naval Weakness : There is no navy, and shipbuilding in Asgeirria is limited to cargo barges and fishing boats.
Further Military Description : The Royal Corps of Engineers makes up the majority of the regular army, and is made up of skilled laborers, miners, and craftsmen led by well-educated engineers, architects, scholars, and quartermasters. Their experience in modernizing, rebuilding, and renovating the country have given them a reputation amongst the populace as trustworthy, hard-working public servants. There are 5,400 men led by 600 officers in the RCE, although their military training is limited to experience from the civil war that brought them together as a unit. The Royal Guard is the main combat unit, consisting of 280 Cavalrymen, 120 Artillerymen, and 400 Guardsmen. The cavalry is mostly limited to keeping the peace in the capitol and occasionally the surrounding villages. The artillerymen are tasked with operating, maintaining, and guarding the walls. The guardsmen keep the palace safe, as well as augmenting the wall's defenses. The rest of the armed forces consist of militia frontiersmen, hunters, and nomadic cavalry.
History : For centuries, the land now controlled by the Zhur Kingdom was passed from foreign power to foreign power, with its local puppet regime being the only common factor. Beyond the extraction and refinement of minerals, this left the nation in turmoil and chaos, with bandits and warlords roaming freely, with a semi-feudal system in place up until the Great Revolution. In a state of limbo caused by the lack of a clear foreign controlling power, the local puppet regime was left in a weakened state. The corrupt government forces struggled to maintain control of the populace, as the situation became more and more turbulent. Revolutionary groups began rising up in greater numbers, but most were quelled eventually. In 1870, two brothers, Menx and Tzun Zhurong, led a successful uprising in the north, taking huge swathes of land from both government forces and local warlords. They called for all able-bodied men of the homeland to join the cause of their ideological crusade. Many Zhurese men, educated in the great Oriental and European universities, answered the call and became officers under the brothers. Miners, hunters, farmers, wives, fishermen, children, the elderly, and all in between found themselves swept up on the tide of revolution, each helping in what ways they could. The brothers led the revolution to victory after victory, absorbing other movements, warlords, even disgruntled government troops. In a matter of months, they rid the country of its oppressive regime, and began a purge of corruption. Mass public executions of corrupt government officials were commonplace. In a matter of months, the brothers brutally but effectively swept clean of corruption their new kingdom. Tzun was a scholarly man, having both a classic education and a more modern education in the sciences. He knew the importance of having a tight reign on the people who administered, the support of the people, and a modern nation. However, his ambition were tempered by his austere realism. He decided to begin modernization at the center of the kingdom; the capitol, and work his way out. He took the educated men of the nation, along with skilled workers and craftsmen, and formed The Royal Corps of Engineers. He tasked them with the revitalization of the nation, with their first objective being the design and construction of a modern island citadel; Rozhden. Construction began in 1874, and was completed in 1897.

Full Nation Name : Kingdom/Empire of Mauretania | Numidia | Mazica
Native Nation Name : Tamazgha ⵜⴰⵎⴰⵣⵗⴰ
Majority/Official Culture : Berber (Imazighen)
Territorial Core : Comprising most Berber homelands minus Taureg Sahara + Libya
Territorial Claim : In Light Blue
Capital City : Qacentina
Population : 15,375,000
Government Type : Monarchy
Government Ideology/Policies : Imperialist, expansionist, anti-colonialist (i.e. Europeans thinking about colonising it)
Government Focus : Military, in terms of consolidating control over the region and expanding control, and legitimacy, in establishing the Bagayids to European powers as good Christian monarchs worthy of recognition.
Head of State : Empress Thiyya Urtien (Tamazight: Tagellidt Tigellidin Thiyya Ult Urtiyen Tajrawt
Head of Government : Amalway Aktula Afellah
Government Description : Theoretically all power rests in the monarch, with much of this power granted to the Parliament, and by extension the Amalway. Modelled on European systems, the leader of the largest party is appointed the Amalway, who then appoints a cabinet to run the executive on behalf of the empress. The Parliament is 400 strong, with 2/3rds elected by a small franchise of 11% of the population, while the rest is selected by the empress, though certain seats are reserved for nobles and religious leaders.
Majority/State Religion : Church of Africa
Religious Description : The Carthaginian Church (officially the Church of Africa) is the largest religious body in Mauretania. Its is often considered a Protestant church, as during the Reformation many of the ideas spread took a hold in the already puritanical and schismatic Donatist sect, though some argue that these Protestant ideals (based upon early church structure and traditions, like the Church of Africa) always existed and were merely brought to European attention after the Reformation. There is also a minority of Catholics, Orthodox, Muslims, Pagans, and Jews, the latter of whom currently hold a protected status under the church (though this has not always been the case)
Economic Ideologies : State Capitalism
Major Production : Grain, minerals, fish
Economic Description : Mauretania is primarily agricultural, with large parts of the population employed in this industry. Mauretania is rich in minerals and the country has many iron, lead, zinc, copper, calamine, antimony and mercury mines. The most productive are those of iron and zinc. Lignite is found in Algiers; immense phosphate beds were discovered near Tébessa in 1891. Phosphate beds are also worked near Sétif, Guelma and Aïn Beïda. There are more than 300 quarries which produce, amongst other stones, onyx and white and red marbles. The country has also industrialised akin to its European neighbours, though lagging behind some in terms of technological innovation and scale of industrialisation.
Tech Group : Without the Islamic conquests, it would have never left the European/Mediterranean sphere, so European? If not N/A will be fine.
Army Description : The standing army is around 150,000, divided into a variety of regiments, and modelled significantly on the French/European model. During the 19th century the Bagayids hired European veterans to change their primarily tribal force into a proper institution capable of waging war. The only remnant of the tribal army are the Blue Turbans, officially the Imperial Guard, who number around 10,000 and are generally the most well-trained, have their officer corps filled with members of the Bagayid, and related, tribes, and are the only force allowed to enter the capital in peacetime.
Army Weakness : The officer corp is not very meritocratic, especially with the Blue Turbans, and therefore sometimes suffers from a lack of experienced leadership, though efforts to counteract this through extensive training for officers has helped a bit.
Naval Description : Around 5 battleships, and 32 other kinds of warships.
Naval Weakness : A lack of experienced sailors, shipyards, and funding hinders the navy at the moment.
Further Military Description : I may expand on this later, though it depends, I'm not really a milsperger.
National Goals : Establish control over the tribes of the interior, protect against outsiders, convert Libya
National Issues : Removing the last vestiges of the Bagayid tribal past, and ensuring that revolutionaries, liberals, and Arab agitators do not cause conflict amongst the majority of the population
National Figures of Interest : King Kusail - Queen Dihya - Bagay - Musa Ibn Nasr
National Ambition/Aspirations : Unite all Tamazight speaking lands, ensure the empire's stability, colonise parts of Africa and generally act European.
