Point I: The succession of large parts of the Franzi Empire to the Nemo- *insert dead former nation here* Empire will not be tolerated one bit nor will be acquiesced to in the slightest.
Point II: The movement of large portions of the Franzi army and navy to the Neo-Roman's Imperial forces shall not be allowed and will be mobilized immediately in perpetration for a defensive conflict that involves the grand Russian crusade against gummy bear jalapeno bank robbers against the revolutionary sunflower emirate of jazzistan.
Point III: Treaty 1 of 3- Treaty of Algeirs will never be signed and the document shall be printed out as toilet paper for the nation's citizens, in fact, your entire ultimatum shall assist our economy in the toilet paper market, we'll simply print the entire thingy you sent us onto toilet paper in a design pattern and ship it out to all the stores in Franzi so that each citizen can wipe their ass with your disgusting abhorrent insult of an ultimatum.
Treaty 2 of 3: IT'S MY MONEY AND I WANT IT NOW, SO NO.
Treaty 3 of 3: but then how will we secretly invade the middle east for all that sweet, sweet kebab meat? it's a solid hell no from the choir which we have on Oprah's back.

Clochard Des Senges:“Well thank you, Moderator bastard-"
Moderator: "I have a name, jackass.”
Clochard Des Senges: "Oh to hell with you, Now then, if we do expand the armed forces, that will involve the conscription of more men into the armed forces, perhaps giving incentives for people to serve up in the army as before.

Your Country: Joseo-Nippon Empire
Land Claimed: Japan, Sakhalin, Manchuria, Micronesia, Korea.
Flag:
Government Form: Shogunate/Dual monarchy
Leader/s: Takemoto Toshimichi and Chung Ho-Sung
Ideology: Militarism, feudalism, theocracy, fascism.
Official Language/s: Japanese, Korean
Population: 30 million
Military Size: 2 million
Description of Military: Basically as it was in the early 19th century. Just samurai, running around with medieval weaponry and hacking heads off, knowing to kill themselves if they do something against their creed. You'd also expect ballistas, tanegashima muskets and cannons, and occasionally see the odd AK-47, but the Samurai of the Neo-Japanese Empire ditch that in favour of a custom martial art similar to Pankration, using swords and spears,
Main Industries: Weaponry, silk, green vegetables
Economic Health 1-10: 1. Japan is literally so isolated, it has fallen back into medieval times.
Technological Advancement 1-10: 2.
Brief History of How Your Country was Formed: In this alternate timeline, Japan seemingly never modernizes under Meiji, and the shogun stays in power, sawing off the treaty to open borders in 1875. Noone comes in, and noone goes out
The shoguns would brutally massacre any one deemed to be a threat to their rule. Millions of innocent Japanese are killed. Kyoto remains as capital. Religious freedom is curtailed. Christians, Buddhists etc. are all deported or killed.
The shoguns would assume complete control of the country from the Emperor. The Emperor is executed.The office of the ‘Imperial Shogun’ is introduced. He assumes as ruler of Japan. As the years pass, there is no Sino-Japanese conflict or Nanking massacre.
World Wars I and II ravage the world throughout the 20th century. Japan remains neutral. The atomic bomb is never used on Japan, and instead is dropped on Germany. By this time, the Japanese economy is in tatters. Malnourishment, droughts, and starvation become the order of the day. Famines ravage the country. The shogunate is too proud to ask for help.
During the Cold War, Japan desperately opens up and asks the Soviet Union for help. The Soviets send in food supplies and the famine is alleviated to an extent. Railways and road systems are built. Huge apartment blocks pop up in the cities. The shogunate reserves car ownership for themselves. The peasants are allowed to use the buses and the tramways.
Using Soviet help, ‘The Great Mausoleum of The Shogunate’ is built in Kyoto. Every person is required by law to visit the monument at least once a year to pay their respects to the past shoguns.
Japan is introduced to the concept of propaganda from North Korea. Loudspeakers and radio systems blaring Japanese imperialist propaganda are installed in every home and street in Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Osaka and Yokohama. The US is Japan’s number one enemy. Anti-US propaganda hit the streets. North Korea and Japan ally themselves as the Kyoto-Pyongyang Axis. the Shogunate later agrees to unify with North Korea, and unite to ultimately crush South Korea and expand diplomatically into Sakhalin. This created the Joseo-Nippon Empire as we know it
Defectors from Japan escape via the Sea of Japan over to Russia. Many will not make it. However, some do reach the shores of Russia and the world slowly comes to know Joseo-Nippon’s sorry state. The Great Hanshin earthquake , or Kobe earthquake, hits the Empire in 1965. The city of Kobe is destroyed. The shogun focuses more on repairing the capital city Kyoto because it is the showpiece of the regime.
Now, after the Soviets thought that the old empire could handle itself, it, as well as the world, cut itself off from the Empire. Beaches are heavily controlled, and anyone trying to escape will get musket shot or an arrow through their head.
Noone comes in, and noone goes out.
Your Country's Goals and Ambitions: Modernize the shogunate back to the way it was and then conquer East Asia
Geopolitical Standing: Minor power due to backward technology.

Official Language/s: Lithuanian, Polish, English, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Russsian.
Population: 90,000,000
Military Size: 400,000 (current)
Description of Military: Simply put a truly Multi-cultural and multi-ethnic force of Europeans with wills of steel. The Coalition's military brings all of its experience from the worlds most devastating wars, all of its cultural values, and various environments to shape their soldiers. While they prefer armored warfare and artillery over sea and air battles they nonetheless are veterans. Mandatory conscription, militarized high schools, and the previous language programs allow their armed forces to quickly mobilize in case of threats. This versatile force is capable of engaging any threat, but lacks any truly specialized force aside from tanks.
The Coalition Military is often considered to be aggressive in its goals with streamlined government support. Despite the increasing amount of manpower to rely on the Coalition prefers to throw shells and metal rather than men. Also considering that most ethnic groups under them had been occupied one another at some point in time their military police and occupation forces are considered some of the best in the world.
Main Industries: Trade, Manufacturing, Steel, and Oil.
Economic Health 1-10: 8
Technological Advancement 1-10: 7
Brief History of How Your Country was Formed:After the explosion many countries flew into a panic. Some worked together to find solutions, others exploited their last deals, and then there were those who fought old grudges. Since the wall hadn't fallen over yet, Lithuania was alone in the beginning to rebel against the crumbling Soviet Union. As if from a bad joke Finland was also invaded yet again and the two countries united to fight the dying beast. One by one other occupied areas rebelled and directly joined this new alliance in a bid for independence, but it became clear that it wasn't going to last. Taking the offensive, Lithuania invaded its former allies and took over the leadership for emergency control. When Finland and Lithuania made gains into Russia a peace treaty was made and the declaration of the creation of the Iron Wolf Coalition was made which both countries willingly convalesced. Soon afterward citing both Scandinavian unity and emergency crisis rhetoric the Countries Norway and Sweden joined as well to be fully annexed. The resources these countries brought stabilized the various fragile economies and modernized many technologies to further strengthen themselves. With coal and oil the incoming winter became more survivable, with the industrialized farms and reformed fishing laws food became plentiful, and the restructuring of the government has allowed competent personell to manage the new nation.

Your Country: Chiefs of the Great American Steppe
Land Claimed: We roam the grasslands of the the Midwest and the Great Plains, as far east as the Ohio River, as far south as the Mexican border, as far west as the Rockies and as far north as the flat lands Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, though our adventuring warbands range even farther.
Flag: No real flag to talk about, although a 'great blue star' is an important symbol for our people.
Government Form: Highly decentralised nomadic tribes.
Leader/s: Dozens of chiefs lead a tribal council (though a High Chief will emerge in form of William (Bill) Turner.
Ideology: Nomadism, rule-by-strength, strong family values
Official Language/s: English, although through the years it has been twisted somewhat into local dialects.
Population: Around half of the population of the US, so 100,000 or so.
Military Size: No officially number, but almost everyone is expected to be able to ride and shoot expertly. Only young children and those too old or frail to ride are not expected to fight when the need arises.
Description of Military: Consists entirely of mounted warriors. Our horsemanship is second-to-none, but equipment is lacking. Some people are lucky enough to use pre-eruption military equipment, but most use home-made cowboy-esque firearms, usually revolvers, lever-action rifles and dangerously unstable explosives. Some, particularly young and unproven warriors use low tech lances, bows and other low-tech equipment.
Main Industries: Primarily herding and some (mostly subsistence) agriculture, alongside a great deal of basket-weavings and rudimentary crafts. Adventuring bands spread out across the ruins of the USA, acting as caravans for friendly tribes, raiding unfriendly tribes and salvaging old technology.
Economic Health 1-10: (10 is steady growth, 8 is very well-cushioned mild contraction, 5 is satisfactorily-handled degrowth where everything chugs along, 2 is recession-type conditions, and 0 is economic problems extending into basic necessities logistics issues or worse.) 1 - they do better than most tribal nations scraping a living in the ruins of America.
Technological Advancement 1-10: (0 being tribal,4 being WW1 levels of tech,7 would be cold war levels,9 is the equivalent of modern day tech and 10 is if Elon Musk ran everything.) 0.5, I suppose. Tribal with salvaged elements.
Brief History of How Your Country was Formed:(the POD is in 1980) Of all the places in the United States, it's large cities were hit the hardest. Those that weren't turned into ghost-shells under the pyroclastic flow or buried under ash staved to death or died in the resulting chaos as they attempted to flee their ruined homes as the supply chain broke down. Those who lives in the country were still hit hard, but were able to bounce back faster - some due to their knowledge of living off the land, some due to their ability to move around more quickly, and most due to sheer luck of the draw.
With oil now all but extinct in the ruins of America, and knowledge of petrol production an all but forgotten art, and the last sources of fuel locked up in refineries and gas pumps, buried under ash in the ruins of cities, modern life has come to a halt. The horse has risen once more to become the prime symbol of power - and if there is something the people of the Great Expanse know, it's horses. You are born in the saddle and you die in the saddle. Without your horse, you cannot hope to maintain your herd. Without your herd, you are nothing. We lead our herds wherever we can find grazeland and water, then move on when we need to.
Today, we are a divided people, split amongst many different tribes. Our customs are different, out dialects are different and our views on war and peace are different, but we all share the same ideal - we are in full gallop, and you will not stop us.
Your Country's Goals and Ambitions: Our only goal is to survive, to turn this burned wasteland into a place we might call home forever. Some of the more ambitious chiefs dream of a world where all people bow before our lances - including the other chiefs.
Geopolitical Standing: (would you call yourself a superpower, regional power, minor power, small nation, etc?) Only the most learned people know of any sort of world outside of North America. Together, we may hold the continent to our will, but North America is a ruin. Still, we'd rather be the chiefs of an empire of ash than than a peasant in a land of milk and mutton.
TL;DR, we're post-apocalyptic cowboys ramped up to 11, mixed with steppe nomads.

That's the aim of the game, if anyone is stupid enough to try.
One thing I would like to ask is if it is ok to raise the population of the former US a bit. I get that is was the epicentre of this eruption, but 200,000 people means a survival rate of quite a bit less then 0.1%, which seems excessive. I'd suggest pushing it up to around a million by this point, which most spread out across the ruined cities in sort of primitive minor survivor-nations, if this is possible. I'd lower my total share of the population to a quarter, too.
Plus it would make this empty a bit less empty so I could RP with the locals.
