Cut Army down to 750,000
Cut cannons down to 40,000
Cut Navy down to 150,000
Cut total ships down to 1250 total (as far as I could tell in my research Japan in 1597 had ~1000 if you have other research please present it)

I also caught something in your history
It wouldn't be until 1432 that the next conflict happened. They Wei challenged Song rule and a war broke out,
You will need to confirm this with The Dragon Empire that replaced Wei controlled by La Federacion Venezolana

Edit: Hey, since my southern neighbor apparently has artillery and guns while my nation, one that has been working for knowledge for the last while doesn’t have guns. Can I have similar tech considering how much I pump into the scholars?

ideally Asia would have access to very basic/weak firearms and cannons. I'm not 100% sure but they should have some sort of firearms but not very good. I'm not opposed to a nation making them their main weapons but they of course would come with downsides (i.e. costs, transportation, ammo, and more) if they are in a war. So it's a balancing act of heavy power with heavy costs. To answer your question you can IC build up that portion of your military.

My research said the Ming had a Military the size of the current us army by 1400

Is this what you were hoping for in your claims?
Also do note that you will be very alone in that part of the world. Davarti did become an NPC for failing to meet the 1 post every 3 week requirement. I can of course create events for you so you won't be without things to do and you are free to interact with NPCs.

Yes, those islands I would like to claim, with the events happening so noone is bored.

A.) link?
B.) you are not the Ming, if you controlled all of Ming China than I would allow it but you don’t so you should have a smaller military.

The military I selected is only 3% of my population, meanwhile at the time japan was field near 1.3% of its population up until the early 1600s. The ming fielded around 2% of their population (Around 2.7 Million), and lived in a relatively peaceful time.

Bring Population down to 40M and field 3% (1.2M)

Work out history with LFV

[Alsheb]

I'd be interested in joining in, either in the Middle East or in South-East Asia, but I can't really figure out the taken nation roster.

NPC stands for Non Player Character
you are free to claim any nation that is an NPC
you are free to look at either the character map or the map with names on the OP and create your own nations following the rules on the OP.

I actually think my population is a bit short considering a control over half of former Ming territory and the more populous and fertile part.

as best I can tell your nation compared to Ming in 1587:

the black line being the border.
Furthermore LFV has a population of 56.8M and you having 40M would put "China" at 96.8M the missing 30M could be explained by the difference in history and smaller empires.
Furthermore I'm letting you have one of the biggest military any player has even with the reductions. You would have the biggest navy as well LFV has only 50 war junks. Of course this does come with it's own downsides as i mentioned in an above post but I digress. a 1.2M standing army is above anything any European nation could do and the only army near you that could rival you is Balamb in India.

[Nieblham]

I do want to apologize for not getting out a follow up post on the wars. They are, of course, still on going. I have been busy with work lately so RIP me and yay $$$$$.
Hopefully by Tuesday if possible.
Oh Ismeil is now a Patriarch (aka a mod) of this RP

A couple of days ago I posted an IC post saying that my king ordered the training of a new army of 125.000 infantrymen and 25.000 cavaliers.

When will my men be ready?

what's the difference between what you have and what you want?

[Nieblham]

The CAS canon has started as such many players will be busy on that RP. As such activity might slow down, don't forget that Time Skip is a thing in this RP if activity gets too low. I refer to the OP for more information.
IF YOU WANT
you can join the CAS Canon RP
it's a FT Space RP

you must be a member of the CAS region so either move your nation or create a puppet.

Well, now I have like 100.000 soldiers (80.000 infantrymen, 20.000 cavaliers) but I'm training a whole new army of 125.000 infantrymen and 25.000 cavaliers, adding those to the old soldiers.

Tag, could I be a “modern” nation native to the New World? Or do we have to be red skinned savages

tech stays the same and you'd have to explain in your app your history and how your nation became western without ever meeting the west. Again 500 is the Point of Divergence so find out what life was like in 500 for the Americas and build out from there (or as early you could find).
I am assuming you mean Western by modern as in Western Democracy.
FYI this is a puppet of Nieblham.

I was talking in terms of tech

My thought was perhaps around the 1200s or so, a trade ship or several trade ships from either China or Europe gets blown off course and shipwreck off the coast of America (whether in the East or West coast depends on where that ship comes from). There a native American tribe (mine) finds the wrecked cargo (made up of perhaps iron armour and weapons) and seeing the advantages of these, start learning the techniques as to create and utilise them, using them to become more militarised and conquer other tribes to say. As time progresses and this new Native American Empire develops, they find that they can use material like iron for things like farming and so develop a more urban civilisation like the West or East

That would be just as unreasonable as a nation wanting alien contact to thus have space weapons.
Ships in the 1200s really couldn't even do that. Especially not from China, furthermore the vikings had the land that Lief Erickson found under there control. Which lost contact with Norway for some time and merged with local tribes and didn't become some huge power IC.

It also depends on where you want to app as that would be the starting line for how your nation's history. Furthermore where you app could make it easier or harder to justify the cultural and technological changes you want. But I digress, there should be a tech gap between the new world and old world but because of the Vikings European plagues should not be as deadly as they had already spread through the new world by now. This should create an interesting interaction as Europe won't come across empty land but land filled with people in the new world. I'm alright with having a stronger farming system that can support bigger cities and thus more specialization but nothing like longswords or guns or cannons would be created naturally at this time. So you'd be much stronger and more resilient which should be enough of an advantage to prevent complete destruction by a European power.
