Asking this question again: Is it appropriate to play as German Australia or not?

I don't know. You could ask Kelmet, he is the one who has Australia.

I don't know. You could ask Kelmet, he is the one who has Australia.

I'd say no only because we have major nations that still need players.

[Arvenia]

Which Mexican states isn't part of the Union of Mexico beside the onest that are part of Centrica?

Rephrase please.

Do the Union of Mexico control all Mexican states except for those that belongs to Centrica (Central America)?

[Arvenia]

I don't know. You could ask Kelmet, he is the one who has Australia.

I'd say no only because we have major nations that still need players.

Major nations now needed includes France, Scandinavia, Korea, Russia, the Commonwealth of the English Americas, the Federal Empire of Brazil, the Republic of Gran Colombia, the Iberian Union and the Kingdom of Great Britain, as well as Ethiopia, Hungary, Greece, Egypt and Centrica.

[Arvenia]

Which Mexican states isn't part of the Union of Mexico beside the onest that are part of Centrica?

Rephrase please.

Also, if Mexico is communist, then the old counter-revolutionary government could have been exiled to this area while Alta California is independent, which means that Mexico got split between much of the homeland that is Zapatist while the country's remaining US territory up north is ruled by a government-in-exile.

[Arvenia]

Asking this question again: Is it appropriate to play as German Australia or not?

Could you be Cascadia (Oregon Country and British Columbia) instead of German Australia?

[Revlona]

Do we 100% need all the nations to start?

Asking this question again: Is it appropriate to play as German Australia or not?

Could you be Cascadia (Oregon Country and British Columbia) instead of German Australia?

I mean, I could play anything, but I don't have a lot of knowledge about that area, and it might be better if an American did it? Either way: You're the OP. I'll play what you want me to play, but I sure as hell can't guarantee you that my posts will be on point every time.

Well, if you don't want Cascadia, then I got four other options for you to choose from:

• Republic of Gran Colombia (This area minus Klein-Venedig)
• Kingdom of Thailand (same territory as IRL)
• Republic of California (Alta Californias)
• State of Texico (Mexican government-in-exile based in these two green areas)

Everyone whose applications are still WIP, they need to be finished so that we can start the IC.

[Zhukovian]

I heard you need Iberia?

[Benuty]

I heard you need Iberia?

That we certainly do.

[Greater Liverpool]

Everyone whose applications are still WIP, they need to be finished so that we can start the IC.

Can I ask for a slight extension just because Uni assignments and that are getting me bogged down.

[Arvenia]

I heard you need Iberia?

YAAAH!!! Iberia would essentially be ethnically dominated by the Spanish and it's territory mainly includes Spain, Portugal, Andorra, Florida (without the Florida Panhandle), Spanish African Colonies, Portuguese African Colonies, Puerto Rico and East Timor. Most overseas territories of the Iberian Union would be ruled by Viceroys who are essentially Governor-Generals representing the Spanish-led monarchy. Macau has been taken by Grand Indochina while both Cuba and the Philippines are independent since 1898.

[Arvenia]

Speaking of the Commonwealth, I got some things that may help the application:

• The Commonwealth may be dominated by two political parties, the conservative Tories and the liberal Whigs.
• The military may consist of the Commonwealth Army, the Commonwealth Navy, the Commonwealth Air Force, the Commonwealth Marine Corps, the Commonwealth Coast Guard and some militias.
• Citizens of the Commonwealth are either refered to as Commonwealthmen, Commonwealthwomen or Commonwealthers.
• The Lord Protector may be a ceremonial President (instead of a monarch), with the powerful head of government being either the Prime Minister, the Chief Elder or the High Councillor.

[Arvenia]

I heard you need Iberia?

So, to be more clear, here are some helpful facts about the Iberian Union:

• The Iberian Union, unlike it's RL equivalent, is a sovereign nation composed of Spain, Portugal and Andorra with control over Florida (without the Florida Panhandle), Puerto Rico, East Timor, Spanish African Colonies and Portuguese African Colonies.
• It was formed by Spain and Portugal amid the Latin American Wars of Independence (both the synopsis and the timeline explains it all in the OP), but it was de facto ethnically dominated by the Spanish, resulting in the Portuguese being treated as second-class citizens. The capital is Madrid and the Spanish monarch is the absolute head of the Iberian Union.
• The Iberian homeland is composed of provinces and a capital while the Iberian overseas territories are ruled by viceroys (governors).
• The Iberian military may resemble the Spanish one.

I can explain more later.

• The military may consist of the Commonwealth Army, the Commonwealth Navy, the Commonwealth Air Force, the Commonwealth Marine Corps, the Commonwealth Coast Guard and some militias.
• Citizens of the Commonwealth are either refered to as Commonwealthmen, Commonwealthwomen or Commonwealthers.
• The Lord Protector may be a ceremonial President (instead of a monarch), with the powerful head of government being either the Prime Minister, the Chief Elder or the High Councillor.

To be fair, I have been relatively busy with my little roleplay as of late so forgive my absence. That said by tonight I should get time to actively do the application or get it closer to complete.

Everyone whose applications are still WIP, they need to be finished so that we can start the IC.

Sorry, when you have a nation as big as mine, and needs such drastic changes, it takes a while

Also, i'm getting to my finals for this semester, so not much time

But two weeks from now, i'll be home free

That's fine. There is no need to worry.

Helpful Information About Countries (WIP)
Kingdom of Great Britain (KGB)

• The KGB is an unitary absolute hereditary monarchy under God's mandate.
• The House of Canterbury is the ruling family of the KGB since 1706 (the year the KGB was formed), although they already came to power in 1688 after William Canterbury (William III) overthrew James II.
• The King of Great Britain has absolute power, which includes total control over the British government, management of the Anglican faith and the ability to enact laws. He is both head of state and head of government, as well as the head of the Anglican Church, the state-run successor to the Church of England.
• The Kingdom of Great Britain maintains a legal system similar to Sharia Law in modern-day Saudi-Arabia. This legal system is both canonical (canon law) and common, although inquisitorial and repressive.
• Unlike the UK (when it comes to devolution), the KGB has tight control over it's territory. The Englishmen reign supreme in the KGB over other people such as Scots, Welshmen, Irishmen, Indians, Normans (Grand Duchy of Normandy), Africans and Carolinians (Dominion of Carolina).
• The KGB maintains the Witenagemot as de facto legislature. It consists of legislators called "Witans", who proposes laws to the King, but can't enact them.
• Anglicanism is the Christian state denomination in the KGB, with the King as it's head. Religious police loyal to the denomination exists in the KGB and are employed by the government.
• The King of Great Britain maintains a council of ministers who may be different from their real-life UK equivalents and more similar to the Saudi ones.
• The British military is the same with the British Army, the British Naval Service and the British Air Force, as well as colonial military forces, Carolinian militias and the Norman military.
• The KGB has the same territory as real-life British Empire, only that much of Ireland (except for Northern Ireland, which is referred to here as "Ulsterland") is controlled by Scandinavia since the English Civil War. The British homeland consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Ulsterland (Northern Ireland). The only colonies the KGB maintain control over are the Dominion of Carolina (South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida Panhandle), some Caribbean islands, Prince Edward Island (if possible), real-life British African colonies, British India (if possible), British Guyana, Yemen and possibly some Pacific islands. The Grand Duchy of Normandy, which consists of Normandy and Hauts-de-France, is a client state of the KGB since the French Revolution of 1830.

Iberian Union

• The Iberian Union is a federal absolute hereditary monarchy under representative democracy. It is a de jure union between various ethnic communities in Iberia, although it is ethnically dominated by the Spanish people.
• It is governed by an absolute King who is assisted by a legislature called the "General Assembly", which consists of the appointed "Senate" and the elected "Chamber of Deputies".
• Territory includes Spain, Portugal, Andorra, East Timor, Puerto Rico, Portuguese African colonies, Spanish African colonies and Florida.
• Brazil seceded upon the creation of the Iberian Union while Cuba and the Philippines successfully seceded in 1898 following the Austro-Iberian War.
• Overseas territories of Iberia are designated as "Viceroyalties" and therefore ruled by appointed Viceroys.

Kingdom of France

• Same as the July Monarchy, France is, since 1830, headed by a ceremonial King and an executive Prime Minister.
• The French Parliament consists of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies.
• The French military consists of the French Army (Armee de Terre), the French Navy (Marine Royale), the French Air Force (Armee de L'air) and the French Gendarmerie (Gendarmerie Royale).
• French territory includes mainland France (without Normandy, Hauts-de-France and Corsica), Canada (Quebec and Ontario), French African colonies, French Guiana, some Caribbean islands, New Caledonia and what's left of the French Polynesia.
• Canada is literally what's left of New France.

Mexico

• The Mexican Empire has existed from the 1820s to the 1910s. Alta California seceded as the Republic of California in the 1840s.
• Since the 1910s, Mexico has been split between two government-like factions, the "United States of the Mexican People" (Estados Unidos de Pueblo Mexicano), which is governed by Emilio Zapata and his political followers, the Zapatistas, and the "Free State of Porfiriato" (Estado Libre de Porfiriato), which is governed by General Porfirio Diaz and the remaining armed forces of the Mexican Empire. The former is the current interim government of Mexico while the latter is a counter-revolutionary government-in-exile based in areas that is the Republic of Texas and it's territorial claims (maybe even modern-day New Mexico). The former is a federal constitutional republic under agrarian socialism and popular democracy while the latter is an unitary military dictatorship under liberal autocracy and technocratic oligarchy.
• Despite the fall of the Mexican Empire, the Mexican Civil War (as the Mexican Revolution came to be called) still rages on between the USMP, the FSP, the Federation of Centrica and other revolutionary factions. The FSP struggles to regain control over Mexico and restore the Mexican Empire, while the USMP fights on to maintain control over the country and spread Zapatist influence. The various revolutionary factions (Villistas, Orozquistas, Maderistas, Magonistas, Reyistas, Carrancistas, etc) seeks revenge on the Zapatistas for the keeping the Mexican government for themselves while the Federation of Centrica, a Central American great power struggles to retain control over the southernmost part of Mexico. Other possible factions may include the Republic of Louisiana and the California Republic.

California Republic

• The California Republic seceded from the Mexican Empire in the 1840s and controls Alta California (as well as possibly New Mexico).
• The country is similar to the Republic of Texas in politics, economy, culture and diplomacy. It is ruled by a President and maintains a bicameral legislature, the National Assembly, composed of an upper Senate and a lower House of Deputies.
• The capital is either Los Angeles (third largest city in the US), Sacramento (modern-day capital of California), San Francisco or Monterey (capital of Alta California).
• Alongside possibly Louisiana and Mexico, the California Republic fought off a series of rebellion led by Mormons from 1858 to 1908.

Korean Empire

• The Korean Empire was formed sometimes around the 1830s following both Western influence and successful independence from rump China.
• It is the RP equivalent of Imperial Japan, except it's monarch (Emperor/King) is not a deity and the state religion is either Neo-Confucianism, Buddhism or Christianity. The Gungmuchongni (Prime Minister) was the head of government and the Jungchuwon was the bicameral legislature. Due to problematic translation, the Jungchuwon could literally translate to either as "Parliament", "" or "".
• Colonies of the Korean Empire includes Manchuria, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Ryukyu Islands, Bonin Islands, South Pacific Mandate, Shandong Peninsula and possibly Palawan.
• Korea had a civil war similar to the Boshin War called the "Learning War" (Hagseub Jeonjaeng), which lasted from 1863 to 1864 between Seohak followers and Donghak followers. The Seohak followers, including the Korean Emperor, won the civil war.
• The Joseon Restoration may refer to when Korea was Westernized and later broke away from Chinese supremacy in the 1830s.

Commonwealth of the English Americas (Commonwealth)

• The Commonwealth used to be a government-in-exile set up by the Parliamentarians in New England after being defeated by the Royalists in the English Civil War. In 1670, it turned into a legitimate nation and dropped territorial claim over the British Isles.
• The government is parliamentary and it is unknown if it is unitary or federal. The Parliament (legislature) is strong, the Supreme Court (judiciary) is restricted and the Protectorate (executive) is weak. The House of Peers (upper house) and the House of Commons (lower house) makes up the Parliament while the Protectorate serves as the office of the country's leader, the Lord Protector (also simply known as the Protector).
• It is split into four regions: New England, Middle Atlantic (Mid-Atlantic), English Caribbean (West Indies) and English Canada (Canadas). These were thought to be the Commonwealth equivalent to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (aka "British Ireland" and "Ulsterland").
• While the US has the Republicans and the Democrats, the Commonwealth would have the Tories and the Whigs.

German Republic

• The German Republic was formed in 1794 during the German Revolutionary Wars when most German states under Prussian lead overthrew their monarchs and unified into a single republic that still stands as of 1914.
• The country is similar to both France and USA regarding history, economy, politics and culture.
• The President is the executive head of the country while the Federal Diet (Bundestag) is the bicameral legislature composed of the upper Senate (Senat) and the lower House of Representatives (Abgeordnetenhaus). Unlike the US and like France, the country may have a multi-party system.
• The country maintains two "Freely Associated Dominions": Australia, South Africa and Argentina. These three could be territorially similar to Puerto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines. However, Germany would still retain some both African colonies like the German East Africa, the German Cameroon and Togoland, as well as parts of Namibia.

United Kingdom of the Netherlands

• The UKN is a monarchy that controls modern-day Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Dutch East Indies, Suriname, ABC Islands, Saba, Sint Eustatius, Sint Maarten, Deshima, Hirado, Namibia, Belgian Congo, Ruanda-Urundi and possibly the Sakishima Islands.
• The government may resemble the UK regarding demand for equal representation from Belgium and Luxembourg.
• The Marechausse (Dutch Gendarmerie) is not an independent branch, so it is instead the Dutch Marine Corps (Koninklijke Mariniers) that is a fourth separate branch of the Dutch military.
• The Belgian Congo, being a Dutch colony here, is called the "Dutch Congo".

Republic of Louisiana

• The Republic of Louisiana is a former part of New France that is territorially formed after the real-life Louisiana Purchase.
• The country is split into the Upper Louisiana (Illinois Country) and the Lower Louisiana (Louisiana Country) with departments (instead of provinces) and parishes (instead of counties).
• The country is ruled by a President, who is part of the Supreme Political Council (Conseil Politique Suprême). There is also the National Convention (Convention Nationale), an unicameral legislature, and the Tetrarchy (Tétrarchie), a group of four "Councillors" who represents their respective ethnicities. The judiciary may be composed of the criminal-civil High Court of Justice (Haute Cour de Justice) and the administrative Council of Auditors (Conseil des Auditeurs). Political parties are strictly limited to those who are officially licensed enough to participate in elections that takes place on regular basis.
• The Louisianian Army may actually be split into two de facto separate branches, the Louisianian Infantry (Infanterie Louisianienne), which mainly include light infantry units called chasseurs, and the Louisianian Cavalry (Cavalerie Louisianienne), who may range from mounted soldiers to tanks.
