[The Frozen Forest]

I was planning on making Henri II, 85 years old, a bit of a grandfather to all other monarchs. Not in the literal sense, but in the sense that he gives advice to other monarchs on official and personal matters.

What I am looking for: a few kids of characters for whom Henri II could be godfather. Maybe he could even be godfather to Alexander Vladimir?

He could be the Godfather of the Nephew of the King of France?

Also whoever is playing Cameroon, i love that your going with the House of Bonaparte. That means the House will have a Cameroonian and French Branch.

History [MUST LINE UP WITH HISTORY IN OP, NOT SET IN STONE AND MUST BE APPROVED BY OPs, WRITE IT LIKE IT'S GOING IN THE TIMELINE SECTION] - In 1860 the first Bavarians of the Bavarian exodus would leave to africa. Fleeing from Europe in order to protect their cultural and religious heritage. By 1870, almost 300,000 Bavarians lived in the region of Tanganyika. In 1870, the Imperial Mandate of Africa established the Colony of Tanzania, which layed claim over the Tanganyika region and the kingdom of Zanzibar. While Tanganyika was subjecated rather effortlessly. Zanzibar stood firm. The Germans brought in a fleet of 3x 3rd Rate Ships of the Line, and 7x 6th Rate Ships of the Line, along with 2 Steam Frigates. In addition they brought a land force of 12,000 German Troops. The Bishop of Nuremburg was made a Cardinal and the Head of the Tanzanian Catholic Church, in 1873 he would move his residence to Dar Es Salaam. But in 1871 a war broke out between the Kingdom of Zanzibar and the German Empire, this would be the first German Colonial War. Of the 12,000 German troops in Africa, only 600 were cavalry and only 12 infantry guns were assigned. This meant the Germans would largely rely on Naval bombardments. They created a diversion by moving landing ships toward Fumba Town, but instead landed a force of 9,000 Germans in Bumbwini, completely uncontested. They marched south and defeated the Zanzibar Army at Koani, before sieging Zanzibar for 2 Months until the king surrendered and then committed suicide.

With the Colony Relatively safe, the germans built up a large mining infrastructure and farming infrastructure. Dar es Salaam would become an industrial port town. By 1900 their were an estimated 840,000 Pflanzers or white Tanzanians, the Portuguese have been fully integrated into the Pflanzer population. In 1914 the great war breaks out and the British lead an assault on the Colony. The local commander, Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, is placed in command of the Baltic Pact Afrika Korps, consisting of some 18,000 German Troops, 21,000 French Troops, and 30,000 Local Askari fighters (Africans trained to become european soldiers). Lettow-Vorbeck immediately named a Congolese general to lead the defense of the west african front, and assigned him a force of 34,000 to do the job. The remaining 35,000 would defend the wide South African border. The British had an estimated 47,000 troops in Africa made up largely of local africans and indians. Paul Immediately led a defence of the City of Maputo, before leading a counter attack into the Transvaal, thus earning the loyalty of 30,000 Boer troops, this allowed him to give the remaining 17,000 Askari to the West African Front, before pushing deeply into South Africa. But September of 1915, Cape Town surrendered leaving a stiff assault through the Kalahari Desert and into the Namibian mountains. 2 weeks before the end of the war, Windhoek was taken leaving Walvis Bay as the last major city the british controlled.

Following the war was a time of construction and industry, The Boer empire was freed leaving the British with a small colony consisting of Northern Namibia and Southern Angola. A massive rail network was constructed in the 1920s and 30s, and Dar es Salaam, Maputo, and Beira devoloped into large port cities. African Maize and Tobacco were grown across the region. But more importantly were the nations Aluminium, Gold, Platinum, and Copper Mines. The nations large mining industry was boosted by a now sprawling network of roads and rails between a large collection of cities and towns throughout Africa. Roaring 20s culture spread to the region and prompted the start of the African Modern Fashion industry. The first planes in the colony arrived in 1919, and only ten years later several small scale airports were built in the nations major cities. Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck became a national hero, to the people for defending them from the English Tyrants. He was notable for fighting for equal rights for the Africans, believing that all Humans had the chance to prove themselves. He was Knighted in 1916 and then rose to the position of Duke by 1930. He married the famous Danish Writer Karen Blixen (known by her pen name of Isak Dinesen) in 1921. He would have 12 Kids and by the time he became duke of the Colony he had already planned marriages for 3 of them to African Chieftans. In 1930 he would be named the Duke of Tanganyika and the Governor of Tanzania. His closely and carefully planned alliances with local chieftains helped him quickly win over the people of Tanzania, and as a show of good faith to the people he and his family converted from Lutheran to Catholic. He gave many business grants and helped massively expand the nations economy. In 1937 his wife would start the Royal Library and the Public School System.

The nations role in the great american war would be minimal, they focused on supplying the navy, but and also quickly crushed British Namibia with the help of the Boers and Congolese. In 1941, he would move the capital from Dar Es Salaam to the more centralized location of Blantyre, a quite country villa of a british businessman who had been run out at the start of the war in 1938. Here he built a new capital from scratch, quickly persuading hundreds of thousands of people from the nearby townships to come settle at the city. The Royal Library was moved their and the Villa turned into a massive Palace and Castle known as Blantyre Castle. He started the Tanganyikan Gazette, a national newspaper, the public school system, and the public university system. He also built the Royal Basilica in Blantyre. This more centralized location allowed him to run the country more effectively. He would sponsor the creation of the Afropolitan Institute, a system of museums and research centers through out the nation similar to the American Smithsonian.

In 1945 he created the Workers Union to protect workers, and the Citizens Bill of Rights creating a system of rights for all citizens in the colony. Shortly after this on October 3rd, 1945 the nation became the independent Kingdom of Tanzania. He would integrate many chieftains into a ruling group of aristocrats and divided the country into numerous provinces each ruled by a Lord in his stead. He made sure they all went to university and were educated. He sponsored the creation of numerous industries including a bustling Manufacturing industry that really began to erupt in the 1980s. He built many hotels and tourist locations through out the country at different animal preservations. He also sponsored created a modern telecommunications network and sponsored the construction of cinemas around the country to provide the populace with his favorite form of entertainment. He structured the school system to be like the german one which taught students business and trade skills over intellectual skills. Though he created several schools which did teach intellectual things more prominently known as the Technikschule, which required applicants to take an aptitude test. He created the African Bank and thus jump started the financial industry in his country. By his death in 1963 the country would be on track to become on of the wealthiest countries in Africa along with the Congo. In 1963 his son Erich von Lettow-Vorbeck would take over as the King. He would continue his fathers work late into the 1990s.

Between the 1960s and 1990s an African pop culture developed, along with a music industry based around Jazz and Hip-Hop. Modern Farming and Mining technology was introduced in the 70s, decreasing the amount of farmers and miners needed allowing more people to go get jobs in the factories, thus creating a much larger industry their. The population also sky rocket between 1970 and 2000 the population rose from 50 Million to 110 Million. Erich married his eldest daughter to Andre Badajoz, the heir to the once rulers of Portuguese Mozambique, now a Afro-Protuguese Aristocratic Family. Andre was deeply schooled in politics, economics, and business, and ran a Shipping and Banking Empire out of Maputo. Thus Erich would name Andre his Successor at their wedding in 2011. Erich would die of Lung Cancer three years later in 2014, leaving Andre to take over at only 34 years old. However Tanzania, was no longer a poor nation the average wage is currently 9,600 USD, and the population stands at around 148 Million.

Still a work in progress, but we are getting there.

Character Title: King of Colombia, King of Venezuela, King of Peru, King of Ecuador
Character Name: Henri II d’Orléans-Bolivar
Character Image:

Age: 85
Political Thoughts: Henri used to be quite progressive. As king, he promoted equality between genders and equality of races, signing into law some impressive civil rights acts during his tenure. However, over the years he has become somewhat more conservative. He will not sign legislation creating equal marriage, is opposed to anything LGBTQ and has a rigid adherence to traditional gender roles. He has always been a supporter of laizes-faire capitalist economy, believing that with the right market influences society will sort itself out, so he vehemently opposes most intrusions upon the free market. As a result, the spoils of the oil industry have been unequally divided among the population, with both local and foreign companies making a lot from Venezuelan oil.
Family and Issue:
Allegiance: To Greater Colombia and the Constitution above all. He is a servant to his country.
Birth Place: Caracas
Short Bio: Henri was born in 1933 to then Heir Apparent Henri, Prince Bolivar, who became King in 1940 following the death of his father. He was a pretty unremarkable king, leaving much of the actual ruling in the hands of the President. He was much more of a socialite, dining with big movie stars and foreign heads of state, and inviting them to lavish parties in his beach-side palace in Guyana. In 1955, Henri I was implicated in a corruption scandal with BP and Royal Shell, whom had bribed him for oil rights. The relevant journalists were jailed and the oil deals were quickly rescinded, but the public image of the man was tarnished. Rather than risk the name of the monarchy, he abdicated in favour of his oldest son, Henri II. Henri was eager to turn around the worst excesses of his father, and basically put him under house arrest in Guyana until his death in 1999. In contrast, Henri II has been a very invested king concerned with continuity and the rights of his people, a monarch in the theme of El Libertador. Nowadays, he is one of the oldest reigning monarchs in the world, and in international politics he likes to posit himself like a grandfather to all other monarchs. He does his best to befriend them all, to know about their lives, to keep in contact with them.

History – Historians call it ‘Bolivar’s Choice’. Nationalist refer to it as the real founding of the nation. In 1819, Simon Bolivar faced a real problem: the nations of Europe would not recognise an American state not governed by a European dynasty. Bolivar was, of course, infuriated by the racist undertones of these demands, but he had to make a decision. He could either found a republic, and face total denial from the international community, or he could swallow his pride and invite a European dynasty to take the throne of Gran Colombia. Eventually, he chose the latter. Of all European dynasties worthy of taking power, he chose the House of Orléans. This house was related to the House of Bourbon, but its members were very liberal and had supported the French revolution. He first offered the throne to Louis Philippe II, Duke of Orléans, hoping that both his advanced age and liberal attitude would mean that he would only be monarch for a little while, enabling Bolivar to refound the Republic after his death. Louis Philippe II, however, thinking of his health, instead proposed that his eldest son, also Louis Philippe, would take the throne instead. When this news was publicised in Le Monde after a leak, Bolivar could not openly deny it, so he indeed offered the younger Louis Philippe the throne. As a gesture of good will, Louis-Philippe married the daughter of Bolivar, to create the House of Orléans-Bolivar.

In King Louis-Philippe, Bolivar found more than a match. Louis-Philippe had served in a Napoleonic Wars, and had seen as much action as Bolivar, if more intense. In ideas, they seemed to equal each other, but their lust for more control and power was also a match. During their combined tenure, between 1820 and 1830, the two would haggle their way to a combined constitution. They were close friends, both adversaries and comrades, who could have huge falling-outs while also having friendly dinners with family. In the end, D’Orléans would have the longest breath. In 1830, Bolivar died of tuberculosis. D’Orléans finished his draft of the constitution in 1831, dedicating it to Bolivar. Despite its dedication, the new constitution made the President second-fiddle to the King, appointed by a Chamber of Delegates from his own nominees. The constitution became a mix of ancient regime and enlightenment ideas: there would be a supreme court, headed by the king, and an independent constitutional court. There would be a legislature, but 50% of its delegates were appointed by the King. There would be checks and balances, but enough wiggle room for the king to legislate and execute as he so desired. As a ‘Friend of the Court’, his letters could be leading in the way the court interpreted the constitution and his laws.

Louis-Philippe, despite being somewhat of a power-grabber, was anxious to see his experiment work. He was a fair ruler, using king Frederick II of Prussia as an example. He would be an enlightened despot: he introduced a draft system and a national education system. He standardised Spanish, even though he didn’t speak it himself. He even began work on a grand codification of all law based off Roman law like Napoleon had done, but he died in 1850 before it could be finished. Since his son had died in a tragic carriage accident, his 11-year-old grandson was crowned king. The 11-year-old could not rule, of course, to the President took over all royal responsibilities. This starts what is known as the ‘First Delegates Period’, a 10-year-period during which Colombia was governed as a Republic would: legislative authority was exercised by the Chamber of Delegates, and the President waived his power to sit in the Supreme Court in the king’s stead. During this period a lot of liberalisations were pushed through, including a constitutional limitation to the power of the king to sit as the presiding judge at the supreme court. Also, Colombia became a safe haven for liberals fleeing Europe and the Americas from prosecution, turning Colombia into somewhat of an international pariah.

When King Philippe I came of age and was actually crowned king, and assumed the powers of his post, he had no idea how to actually rule. He had been under the legal guardianship of the president, who had taken no time to educate the king. This immediately kicked off the ‘Second Delegates Period’. No longer did the President hold the powers of the king, but his advisers would do their best to influence the young king. Philippe was always more of an artist than a monarch, and he spent his time writing a few (actually quite good) books. He conversed with well-known painters and writers, and used his royal funds as patronage for quite a few artists. He just had to put his signatures here and there, and that was that.

Five years into the Second Delegates Period, the king’s brother Prince Robert had had enough of this erosion of royal power. While the king had been estranged from his family, which had been virtually banished from the capital Caracas during both Delegates periods, Robert had lived among them. Especially the elder relatives were fuming, and upon returning from foreign military service in 1865, Robert took up the mantle of protector of the royal house. Conversing with his brother in secret, he convinced him to fire the President and hold new elections. Robert was one of the nominees, and through bribery and intimidation he managed to get himself elected to the position. He and his brother would reign almost as co-monarchs, with Robert doing much of the actual governing while Philippe did the (quite well-written) speeches. Robert also did his best to reverse the damage done by the Delegates and the President. Under the banner of fighting corruption and foreign plots, he got many Delegates expelled, and got to imprison a former President on trumped-up charges of collusion with liberal agitators. Many liberals whom had fled Europe and America were sent back by boat-loads. Prince Terror, as Robert became known, restored the faith in the monarchy. When he stepped down as President in 1880 and became Minister for War instead, it was clear who called the shots, and the Delegates would not rebel in a similar manner again.

In 1892 king Philippe died of natural causes, and with him died an era. While he had been rather inactive as king, his rule was marked by peace and a lack of interference in international affairs, as well as economic growth and a cultural boom. Unknowingly, or perhaps fully aware, his patronage and construction of theatres led to an idea of Pan-Colombian culture, a sense of national pride for the country that Bolivar had created. His books, his marches, his stage plays and operas became the groundwork for a sort of federalist culture that had not existed before. His funeral, while not visited by as many family members, had a high concentration of intelligentsia, physicists, writers, musicians, composers and other such celebrities. His son, the 23 year old Philippe II, was a different story altogether.

Philippe II was more a man akin to his uncle. Not strange, since Robert had been the pater familias for some time, and had been more of a father to Philippe than his real father could ever have been. Trained at Sandhurst Academy, Philippe was a true soldier king, who modernised the military and founded a military academy in Caracas. Moreover, he was set on restoring respect for the institution, as well as the country. Only months after his ascension, therefor, Philippe II declared war on Brazil. Leading the army himself he entered Guyana and Suriname, defeating the local garrison armies there. The army ran out of steam due to enormous problems with the supply situation, but the propaganda machine of the king made it out to be a huge victory, even though little changed in either borders or relations. International commentators were universally in agreement that it had been a silly war, but the people of Colombia ate it up. Whereas before Delegates had publically questioned the use of the institution of King, now they were lining up to be associated with him. His paintings and statues were erected all over the country, and his birthday became a national holiday. After the foundations for cultural nationalism were laid under Philippe I, Philippe II solidified that by personifying his nation as one with great martial ability. His investments in arms manufacturing and his relaxation of weapon laws, as well as his investment in a citizen militia, meant that various arms designers could pop up all of the nation. Soon, Colombia had their own magazine-fed service rifle and pistol, and a strong domestic arms market.

When 1914 rolls around, however, many expect the Soldier King to immediately pick a side. Delegates from both sides visit his court in Caracas to convince him to join, but he declines. Publicly, makes it known that a far-off war about some Serbian king is not in the interest of his country, and that Colombians are smart enough not to die in pointless wars. However, through neutrality the country manages to sell weapons to both sides in the conflict, and Philippe II makes heavy use of imagery borrowed from the Colombian volunteers fighting in both armies. In reality, his war-mongering was stopped both by the Chamber of Delegates, who did not support his venture, and by a few powerful magnates who wanted to keep the arms trade up unabated. The influx of funds actually helps with the expansion of national infrastructure and the start of the construction of the Panama Canal, which took away a large part of the labour force that would have been used in war.

In 1922, two years before the envisioned opening of the Panama canal, the CAE see their chance, however. Feeling that most of the heavy lifting had been done, their troops pour into Panama to secure the construction site of the canal. Local troops are caught by surprise, as the Panama region would not allow the stationing of more troops. Troops also land in Chocó, from where they march on Bogota, and in Puerta Cumarebo, from where they assail Caracas. The Colombian navy managed to scare off the invasion fleet at Cumarebo, after which the attacking force there could be cut off and destroyed. Bogota is besieged, but the siege is turned around when Philippe II turns up to lead the troops himself. The Central Americans are pushed back over the mountains, but on the Chocó plains they mount a successful defence. Philippe vows to take back the lands stolen by the Central Americans, but during a visit to the trenches in Chocó he is shot by an unknown sniper. He dies two days later, leaving no son. He is succeeded by his 50-year-old cousin Jean, son of Robert.

While Robert and Philippe II had been close, Jean had always fallen a bit by the way-side. Robert’s duty had always been to either some far-flung battlefield or his idea of the monarchy, leaving Jean to be raised by his mother. The favouritism for Philippe II tasted bitter to him, and he had personally vowed never to become like his father. He was a family man, not so much concerned with politics as with his own inner circle. He travelled a lot, showed his sons the world, did safaris in Africa, circumnavigated the globe… He was into airplanes a lot, too, and with some royal funds he had founded Colombian Royal Air, of which he was the director. He never intended or expected to become king, but become king he did. He had half a mind to just abdicate in favour of his son, or a nephew, but knowing that could doom the monarchy, he stayed. However, he had no intention of sending more sons to the slaughter, so he almost immediately signed a cease-fire, handing over control of Panama and Chocó to the Central Americans. His focus would be inward. With the reparation money he got he expanded the national infrastructure, building a railway from Caracas to Bogota in order to circumvent the Panama canal. He also constructed an aerodrome in all big cities and funded research to make air travel more affordable. In 1929 he was personally at the signing ceremony for the Treaty of Warsaw regarding Civil Aviation. He personally kept the country out of the war, even though the war-hungry ministers and the powerful clique of officers wanted to join in the fray. Instead, King Jean made it illegal for officers to serve as Delegates or ministers other than the Minister for Defence, the new name for the Minister of War. A fatherly figure, Jean always posed himself as a father to the nation, earning him the nickname Papa Jean. While he didn’t know much of politics himself, his trust in those people and institutions who did led to a period of stability. His death in 1940 shocked the nation, which held its second state funeral in 16 years.

Trying to be a loving father, Jean had not done enough to prepare his son Henri for the position of king. By the time Jean ascended, Henri was already 16 years old, and quite the pubescent teenager at that. He spent most of his time with friends, and Jean didn’t have the heart to tell him not to. Totally unprepared, Henri I became king in 1940, which almost immediately led to problems. The President, who acted instead of regal power in the absence of the king, had trouble assessing when the king was legally absent, since he took many unannounced trips to the countryside. Important legislation was unsigned for weeks because the President, privy to the history of the 19th century, didn’t dare sign it. It was probably this indecisiveness above all that continued to keep Colombia out of the war after the death of Jean. Henri lacked the fatherly appeal his father had had, and he certainly didn’t have his charisma. Whenever he did mix himself in public affairs, he posed like the CEO of a company, of whom he knew many. He would pump his chest and start badly-rehearsed tirades against his ministers or foreign emissaries, for instance, earning him quite a few unkindly nicknames. He was also an often-seen drunk in the streets of Bogota, shadowed by a few members of his security detail.

In 1953, BP and Royal Dutch Shell tried to make use of this. In a cottage on the Canadian coast a few executives of the two companies took him out sailing, hunting and drinking, far away from his ministers. Suddenly, they sprang a contract on him. Henri did his shtick, pretended to be a big-shot CEO, and thought he got the better deal out of it. However, instead he had signed away many of the future drilling rights of his national oil to the two companies. His domestic audience was afraid to respond, and his ministers kept silent about the deal, but an article by the New York Times published what had happened in the Canadian cottage near Petit-Mai. The Petit-Mai Incident, as it was known as, turned public opinion against the king for the first time in the history of the country. Despite harsh laws against such practices there were demonstrations, protests and even riots. All the while, the king was in Guyana in his sea-side palace, barely responding to phone calls. The military, not wanting to act without orders from the king, stayed in its barracks, and the president didn’t know if he had the authority to declare martial law.

On the 6th of August 1953, the President arrived in Guyana, accompanied by the Heir Apparent, Prince Henri. They found the king drunk, half-naked in his outdoor pool, chilling in the sun. Through much persuasion and some liberal use of more alcohol, they managed to persuade the king to abdicate in favour of his son. The president and his ministers resigned his post, and that evening the new king Henri II addressed the nation over the radio.

History [MUST LINE UP WITH HISTORY IN OP, NOT SET IN STONE AND MUST BE APPROVED BY OPs, WRITE IT LIKE IT'S GOING IN THE TIMELINE SECTION] - In 1860 the first Bavarians of the Bavarian exodus would leave to africa. Fleeing from Europe in order to protect their cultural and religious heritage. By 1870, almost 300,000 Bavarians lived in the region of Tanganyika. In 1870, the Imperial Mandate of Africa established the Colony of Tanzania, which layed claim over the Tanganyika region and the kingdom of Zanzibar. While Tanganyika was subjecated rather effortlessly. Zanzibar stood firm. The Germans brought in a fleet of 3x 3rd Rate Ships of the Line, and 7x 6th Rate Ships of the Line, along with 2 Steam Frigates. In addition they brought a land force of 12,000 German Troops. The Bishop of Nuremburg was made a Cardinal and the Head of the Tanzanian Catholic Church, in 1873 he would move his residence to Dar Es Salaam. But in 1871 a war broke out between the Kingdom of Zanzibar and the German Empire, this would be the first German Colonial War. Of the 12,000 German troops in Africa, only 600 were cavalry and only 12 infantry guns were assigned. This meant the Germans would largely rely on Naval bombardments. They created a diversion by moving landing ships toward Fumba Town, but instead landed a force of 9,000 Germans in Bumbwini, completely uncontested. They marched south and defeated the Zanzibar Army at Koani, before sieging Zanzibar for 2 Months until the king surrendered and then committed suicide.

With the Colony Relatively safe, the germans built up a large mining infrastructure and farming infrastructure. Dar es Salaam would become an industrial port town. By 1900 their were an estimated 840,000 Pflanzers or white Tanzanians, the Portuguese have been fully integrated into the Pflanzer population. In 1914 the great war breaks out and the British lead an assault on the Colony. The local commander, Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, is placed in command of the Baltic Pact Afrika Korps, consisting of some 18,000 German Troops, 21,000 French Troops, and 30,000 Local Askari fighters (Africans trained to become european soldiers). Lettow-Vorbeck immediately named a Congolese general to lead the defense of the west african front, and assigned him a force of 34,000 to do the job. The remaining 35,000 would defend the wide South African border. The British had an estimated 47,000 troops in Africa made up largely of local africans and indians. Paul Immediately led a defence of the City of Maputo, before leading a counter attack into the Transvaal, thus earning the loyalty of 30,000 Boer troops, this allowed him to give the remaining 17,000 Askari to the West African Front, before pushing deeply into South Africa. But September of 1915, Cape Town surrendered leaving a stiff assault through the Kalahari Desert and into the Namibian mountains. 2 weeks before the end of the war, Windhoek was taken leaving Walvis Bay as the last major city the british controlled.

Following the war was a time of construction and industry, The Boer empire was freed leaving the British with a small colony consisting of Northern Namibia and Southern Angola. A massive rail network was constructed in the 1920s and 30s, and Dar es Salaam, Maputo, and Beira devoloped into large port cities. African Maize and Tobacco were grown across the region. But more importantly were the nations Aluminium, Gold, Platinum, and Copper Mines. The nations large mining industry was boosted by a now sprawling network of roads and rails between a large collection of cities and towns throughout Africa. Roaring 20s culture spread to the region and prompted the start of the African Modern Fashion industry. The first planes in the colony arrived in 1919, and only ten years later several small scale airports were built in the nations major cities. Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck became a national hero, to the people for defending them from the English Tyrants. He was notable for fighting for equal rights for the Africans, believing that all Humans had the chance to prove themselves. He was Knighted in 1916 and then rose to the position of Duke by 1930. He married the famous Danish Writer Karen Blixen (known by her pen name of Isak Dinesen) in 1921. He would have 12 Kids and by the time he became duke of the Colony he had already planned marriages for 3 of them to African Chieftans. In 1930 he would be named the Duke of Tanganyika and the Governor of Tanzania. His closely and carefully planned alliances with local chieftains helped him quickly win over the people of Tanzania, and as a show of good faith to the people he and his family converted from Lutheran to Catholic. He gave many business grants and helped massively expand the nations economy. In 1937 his wife would start the Royal Library and the Public School System.

The nations role in the great american war would be minimal, they focused on supplying the navy, but and also quickly crushed British Namibia with the help of the Boers and Congolese. In 1941, he would move the capital from Dar Es Salaam to the more centralized location of Blantyre, a quite country villa of a british businessman who had been run out at the start of the war in 1938. Here he built a new capital from scratch, quickly persuading hundreds of thousands of people from the nearby townships to come settle at the city. The Royal Library was moved their and the Villa turned into a massive Palace and Castle known as Blantyre Castle. He started the Tanganyikan Gazette, a national newspaper, the public school system, and the public university system. He also built the Royal Basilica in Blantyre. This more centralized location allowed him to run the country more effectively. He would sponsor the creation of the Afropolitan Institute, a system of museums and research centers through out the nation similar to the American Smithsonian.

In 1945 he created the Workers Union to protect workers, and the Citizens Bill of Rights creating a system of rights for all citizens in the colony. Shortly after this on October 3rd, 1945 the nation became the independent Kingdom of Tanzania. He would integrate many chieftains into a ruling group of aristocrats and divided the country into numerous provinces each ruled by a Lord in his stead. He made sure they all went to university and were educated. He sponsored the creation of numerous industries including a bustling Manufacturing industry that really began to erupt in the 1980s. He built many hotels and tourist locations through out the country at different animal preservations. He also sponsored created a modern telecommunications network and sponsored the construction of cinemas around the country to provide the populace with his favorite form of entertainment. He structured the school system to be like the german one which taught students business and trade skills over intellectual skills. Though he created several schools which did teach intellectual things more prominently known as the Technikschule, which required applicants to take an aptitude test. He created the African Bank and thus jump started the financial industry in his country. By his death in 1963 the country would be on track to become on of the wealthiest countries in Africa along with the Congo. In 1963 his son Erich von Lettow-Vorbeck would take over as the King. He would continue his fathers work late into the 1990s.

Between the 1960s and 1990s an African pop culture developed, along with a music industry based around Jazz and Hip-Hop. Modern Farming and Mining technology was introduced in the 70s, decreasing the amount of farmers and miners needed allowing more people to go get jobs in the factories, thus creating a much larger industry their. The population also sky rocket between 1970 and 2000 the population rose from 50 Million to 110 Million. Erich married his eldest daughter to Andre Badajoz, the heir to the once rulers of Portuguese Mozambique, now a Afro-Protuguese Aristocratic Family. Andre was deeply schooled in politics, economics, and business, and ran a Shipping and Banking Empire out of Maputo. Thus Erich would name Andre his Successor at their wedding in 2011. Erich would die of Lung Cancer three years later in 2014, leaving Andre to take over at only 34 years old. However Tanzania, was no longer a poor nation the average wage is currently 9,600 USD, and the population stands at around 148 Million.

Prince William would die in a hang gliding accident in 2000 and William I, her grandfather and over 80 years old, abdicated following a stroke in 2008, leaving the throne to Catherine, the first Queen of America, at the ripe age of 24. Through her childhood, she had become an unabashed fan of history, particularly enjoying the Viking Sagas and tales of the great kings of Medieval England, Germany, and France. Her enjoyment of such historical studies led her to filling her wardrobe with painstakingly made reproductions of Saxon, Norse, and Anglo-Saxon garments and beseeched her father to commission a Dane Axe and Saxon Broadsword for her to train with. At her mother's behest, her wishes were denied. However, with the death of her father in 2000 and the stroke and subsequent abdication of her grandfather in 2010, she found herself free of any constraint yet burdened with greater responsibilities.

His childhood was mostly uneventful, consisting of a top of the line education at the best schools and, at 16, an appointment as a midshipman in the Royal Navy. He remained with the Royal Navy even as he courted then Princess Catherine. Their courtship was seen as moderately scandalous, due to the grudge held by some members of the House of Jefferson about Alexander Hamilton being named Washington's successor instead of Thomas Jefferson. In spite of the naysayers, William wed Catherine two years after her coronation and sired the first of their three children two years later. William Henry Jefferson currently holds the semi-honorary title of First Lord of the Admiralty and President of the Board of Admiralty. He has been a longstanding supporter of conscription and military investment.

Private Goals - Expand American control across North America and ensure American dominance in Latin America.

Total military size - 2,462,103 Active military personnel, 7,350,101 in the Home Guard, 31,553,931 in 24 state militias.
Breakdown of ground sector - The Royal Army, established by decree of King Washington in 1788, is a relatively large and powerful organization, tasked with the defense of the Kingdom and Her overseas territories as well as with conducting offensive operations against the Kingdom's enemies. Tracing it's lineage to the Continental Army of General Washington, the Royal Army maintains a number of Continental Army formations to maintain the heritage and honors of those units.
The Royal Army is organized into a series of modular brigades and headquarters battalions, allowing the Army to rapidly deploy forces to any location in the world in as little as 96 hours, depending on the brigade. The Army consists of 95 Brigade Combat Teams and 185 Modular Support Brigades.
The Brigade Combat Teams are in one of three types: Armor, Stryker, or Infantry. Most of the 95 BCTs in the Royal Army either Armor or Stryker Brigades, with 33 armor brigades and 26 Stryker Brigades. The remaining 26 brigades are Infantry Brigades, organized into 10 Airborne, 10 Air Assault, 5 Mountain, and 1 Foot Guards Brigades.
Major Army installations include Fort Bragg, Fort Knox, Fort Benning, Redstone Arsenal, Fort Eustis, Fort Lee, Fort Belvoir, Fort McNair, Fort Chaffee, and West Point Military College.
Personnel: 1,114,000 men and women
Equipment: ~3,000 M10 tanks, ~7,000 tracked AFVs, ~7,800 Stryker AFVs, 1,764 SPGs, 702 MLRS, 468 towed howitzers, ~315,000 trucks of various sizes, more vehicles in storage. Home Guard Units maintain almost three times as much equipment, all of them retired from active service. State Militia units tend to lack main battle tanks, mostly being equipped with light tanks and armored personnel carriers instead of infantry fighting vehicles.
Breakdown of naval sector - The Royal Navy is a force intended for coastal defense and power projection, formed in 1788 by decree of King Washington. The Navy boasts a strong fleet with over 300 warship, many of them nuclear powered. The fleet is split between several bases, with submarines stationed at Kings Bay and New London, Aircraft Carriers at Mayport, Norfolk, and Newport, and Naval Air Stations at most of those bases and locations in between them.
Personnel: 694,419 men and women
Ships: 13 Carriers, 36 Amphibious Warfare Ships, 30 Cruisers, 110 Destroyers, 50 Frigates, 70 Submarines, 11 Minesweepers, assorted auxiliary ships, ~5,000 aircraft
Also a part of the Navy are the Royal Marines and American Coast Guard. The Royal Marines, like the Navy and Army, were formed by King Washington in 1788 while the Coast Guard was formed by Parliament in 1915 to free up Naval ships for the War. After 1943, the Coast Guard was moved from military control to the Ministry of Homeland Security but the Coast Guard still claims it's lineage back to the Royal Navy.
Unlike the Army and Air Force, most states only have a token Naval Guard and Naval militia force, with only coastal states being required to maintain Naval militias. There is no Marine Corps segment to the Militias and the Marines also pride themselves on being the only all volunteer portion of the Armed Forces.
Personnel: 202,000 men and women
Equipment: ~400 tanks, ~900 LAVs, ~1,200 EFVs, ~24,000 trucks
Breakdown of air force sector - The Royal Air Force is the youngest branch, formed by decree in 1944 by then King Henry Hamilton. The Air Force has put a great deal of focus in maintaining a qualitative edge over possible adversaries, investing heavily into stealth technology and standoff range munitions. Major Air Force installations include the Air Force Academy at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, Scott Air Force Base in Illinois, Tyndall, Patrick, and Eglin Air Force Bases in Florida, and numerous others. Air Guard Units are located at most airports around the country and are often equipped with aircraft of older designs. Most states also maintain some form of Air Militia, though this primarily serves as a supporting arm to the Air Guard.

Extra military information - Current US conscription law requires all male and female citizens who are at least 20 years old to perform four years of military or alternative service. Nearly 20% of Americans aged 20-24 end up doing their four years in the military, with the remaining 80% of Americans performing some other form of national service. After their term of National service is concluded, those who served in the military are transferred to the Home Guard while those who did not serve in the military are transferred to their state militias. Home Guard soldiers are required to attend 60 training days a year, most often 2 weekends a month and two weeks as a summer or winter exercise. Often it is split into two 8 day exercises and 10 weekend training periods. State Militias are required by law to conduct 24 training days per year, typically taking one weekend out of each month. Both Home Guard and Militia personnel remain under arms until their 40th year of life, when they are finally released from all obligation of National Service.

History [MUST LINE UP WITH HISTORY IN OP, NOT SET IN STONE AND MUST BE APPROVED BY OPs, WRITE IT LIKE IT'S GOING IN THE TIMELINE SECTION - After the end of the Great American War, the United States focused its attention on strengthening its economy and becoming a major economic, political, and military power not just in the America's but in the World.
In the 1940s and 1950s, America jumped on the atomic bandwagon, successfully testing a 20 kiloton device in an underground facility in Tennessee in 1970. However, the end of the Cold War and arms reduction treaties would severely limit the American nuclear arsenal, resulting in a greater emphasis on conventional warfare tactics.
Following the creation of the UN Security Council, America lobbied to be included, arguing for a voice on the American continent. After Egypt was admitted, America increased the volume of its demands, arguing that if Africa got a voice, North America deserved one, as well.
During the Afghan Civil War, America would funnel money and weapons to the Afghan Royal Family, hoping to curry favor with the Afghans and secure a partner in the region. Islamic terrorists would later attack New York City, Chicago, and Washington, killing hundreds of Americans and sparking a wave of public outrage against the Afghan government.
During the latter half of the 20th Century, America attempted to impose itself into the other nations on the continent, seeking to bring them into its own borders and secure hegemony over the continent.

History [MUST LINE UP WITH HISTORY IN OP, NOT SET IN STONE AND MUST BE APPROVED BY OPs, WRITE IT LIKE IT'S GOING IN THE TIMELINE SECTION] - In 1860 the first Bavarians of the Bavarian exodus would leave to africa. Fleeing from Europe in order to protect their cultural and religious heritage. By 1870, almost 300,000 Bavarians lived in the region of Tanganyika. In 1870, the Imperial Mandate of Africa established the Colony of Tanzania, which layed claim over the Tanganyika region and the kingdom of Zanzibar. While Tanganyika was subjecated rather effortlessly. Zanzibar stood firm. The Germans brought in a fleet of 3x 3rd Rate Ships of the Line, and 7x 6th Rate Ships of the Line, along with 2 Steam Frigates. In addition they brought a land force of 12,000 German Troops. The Bishop of Nuremburg was made a Cardinal and the Head of the Tanzanian Catholic Church, in 1873 he would move his residence to Dar Es Salaam. But in 1871 a war broke out between the Kingdom of Zanzibar and the German Empire, this would be the first German Colonial War. Of the 12,000 German troops in Africa, only 600 were cavalry and only 12 infantry guns were assigned. This meant the Germans would largely rely on Naval bombardments. They created a diversion by moving landing ships toward Fumba Town, but instead landed a force of 9,000 Germans in Bumbwini, completely uncontested. They marched south and defeated the Zanzibar Army at Koani, before sieging Zanzibar for 2 Months until the king surrendered and then committed suicide.

With the Colony Relatively safe, the germans built up a large mining infrastructure and farming infrastructure. Dar es Salaam would become an industrial port town. By 1900 their were an estimated 840,000 Pflanzers or white Tanzanians, the Portuguese have been fully integrated into the Pflanzer population. In 1914 the great war breaks out and the British lead an assault on the Colony. The local commander, Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, is placed in command of the Baltic Pact Afrika Korps, consisting of some 18,000 German Troops, 21,000 French Troops, and 30,000 Local Askari fighters (Africans trained to become european soldiers). Lettow-Vorbeck immediately named a Congolese general to lead the defense of the west african front, and assigned him a force of 34,000 to do the job. The remaining 35,000 would defend the wide South African border. The British had an estimated 47,000 troops in Africa made up largely of local africans and indians. Paul Immediately led a defence of the City of Maputo, before leading a counter attack into the Transvaal, thus earning the loyalty of 30,000 Boer troops, this allowed him to give the remaining 17,000 Askari to the West African Front, before pushing deeply into South Africa. But September of 1915, Cape Town surrendered leaving a stiff assault through the Kalahari Desert and into the Namibian mountains. 2 weeks before the end of the war, Windhoek was taken leaving Walvis Bay as the last major city the british controlled.

Following the war was a time of construction and industry, The Boer empire was freed leaving the British with a small colony consisting of Northern Namibia and Southern Angola. A massive rail network was constructed in the 1920s and 30s, and Dar es Salaam, Maputo, and Beira devoloped into large port cities. African Maize and Tobacco were grown across the region. But more importantly were the nations Aluminium, Gold, Platinum, and Copper Mines. The nations large mining industry was boosted by a now sprawling network of roads and rails between a large collection of cities and towns throughout Africa. Roaring 20s culture spread to the region and prompted the start of the African Modern Fashion industry. The first planes in the colony arrived in 1919, and only ten years later several small scale airports were built in the nations major cities. Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck became a national hero, to the people for defending them from the English Tyrants. He was notable for fighting for equal rights for the Africans, believing that all Humans had the chance to prove themselves. He was Knighted in 1916 and then rose to the position of Duke by 1930. He married the famous Danish Writer Karen Blixen (known by her pen name of Isak Dinesen) in 1921. He would have 12 Kids and by the time he became duke of the Colony he had already planned marriages for 3 of them to African Chieftans. In 1930 he would be named the Duke of Tanganyika and the Governor of Tanzania. His closely and carefully planned alliances with local chieftains helped him quickly win over the people of Tanzania, and as a show of good faith to the people he and his family converted from Lutheran to Catholic. He gave many business grants and helped massively expand the nations economy. In 1937 his wife would start the Royal Library and the Public School System.

The nations role in the great american war would be minimal, they focused on supplying the navy, but and also quickly crushed British Namibia with the help of the Boers and Congolese. In 1941, he would move the capital from Dar Es Salaam to the more centralized location of Blantyre, a quite country villa of a british businessman who had been run out at the start of the war in 1938. Here he built a new capital from scratch, quickly persuading hundreds of thousands of people from the nearby townships to come settle at the city. The Royal Library was moved their and the Villa turned into a massive Palace and Castle known as Blantyre Castle. He started the Tanganyikan Gazette, a national newspaper, the public school system, and the public university system. He also built the Royal Basilica in Blantyre. This more centralized location allowed him to run the country more effectively. He would sponsor the creation of the Afropolitan Institute, a system of museums and research centers through out the nation similar to the American Smithsonian.

In 1945 he created the Workers Union to protect workers, and the Citizens Bill of Rights creating a system of rights for all citizens in the colony. Shortly after this on October 3rd, 1945 the nation became the independent Kingdom of Tanzania. He would integrate many chieftains into a ruling group of aristocrats and divided the country into numerous provinces each ruled by a Lord in his stead. He made sure they all went to university and were educated. He sponsored the creation of numerous industries including a bustling Manufacturing industry that really began to erupt in the 1980s. He built many hotels and tourist locations through out the country at different animal preservations. He also sponsored created a modern telecommunications network and sponsored the construction of cinemas around the country to provide the populace with his favorite form of entertainment. He structured the school system to be like the german one which taught students business and trade skills over intellectual skills. Though he created several schools which did teach intellectual things more prominently known as the Technikschule, which required applicants to take an aptitude test. He created the African Bank and thus jump started the financial industry in his country. By his death in 1963 the country would be on track to become on of the wealthiest countries in Africa along with the Congo. In 1963 his son Erich von Lettow-Vorbeck would take over as the King. He would continue his fathers work late into the 1990s.

Between the 1960s and 1990s an African pop culture developed, along with a music industry based around Jazz and Hip-Hop. Modern Farming and Mining technology was introduced in the 70s, decreasing the amount of farmers and miners needed allowing more people to go get jobs in the factories, thus creating a much larger industry their. The population also sky rocket between 1970 and 2000 the population rose from 50 Million to 110 Million. Erich married his eldest daughter to Andre Badajoz, the heir to the once rulers of Portuguese Mozambique, now a Afro-Protuguese Aristocratic Family. Andre was deeply schooled in politics, economics, and business, and ran a Shipping and Banking Empire out of Maputo. Thus Erich would name Andre his Successor at their wedding in 2011. Erich would die of Lung Cancer three years later in 2014, leaving Andre to take over at only 34 years old. However Tanzania, was no longer a poor nation the average wage is currently 9,600 USD, and the population stands at around 148 Million.

Through her childhood, she had become an unabashed fan of history, particularly enjoying the Viking Sagas and tales of the great kings of Medieval England, Germany, and France.

He remained with the Royal Navy even as he courted then Princess Catherine. Their courtship was seen as moderately scandalous, due to the grudge held by some members of the House of Jefferson about Alexander Hamilton being named Washington's successor instead of Thomas Jefferson.

William Henry Jefferson currently holds the semi-honorary title of First Lord of the Admiralty and President of the Board of Admiralty.

Total military size - 2,462,103 Active military personnel, 7,350,101 in the Home Guard, 31,553,931 in 24 state militias.
Breakdown of ground sector - The Royal Army, established by decree of King Washington in 1788, is a relatively large and powerful organization, tasked with the defense of the Kingdom and Her overseas territories as well as with conducting offensive operations against the Kingdom's enemies. Tracing it's lineage to the Continental Army of General Washington, the Royal Army maintains a number of Continental Army formations to maintain the heritage and honors of those units.
The Royal Army is organized into a series of modular brigades and headquarters battalions, allowing the Army to rapidly deploy forces to any location in the world in as little as 96 hours, depending on the brigade. The Army consists of 95 Brigade Combat Teams and 185 Modular Support Brigades.
The Brigade Combat Teams are in one of three types: Armor, Stryker, or Infantry. Most of the 95 BCTs in the Royal Army either Armor or Stryker Brigades, with 33 armor brigades and 26 Stryker Brigades. The remaining 26 brigades are Infantry Brigades, organized into 10 Airborne, 10 Air Assault, 5 Mountain, and 1 Foot Guards Brigades.
Major Army installations include Fort Bragg, Fort Knox, Fort Benning, Redstone Arsenal, Fort Eustis, Fort Lee, Fort Belvoir, Fort McNair, Fort Chaffee, and West Point Military College.
Personnel: 1,114,000 men and women
Equipment: ~3,000 M10 tanks, ~7,000 tracked AFVs, ~7,800 Stryker AFVs, 1,764 SPGs, 702 MLRS, 468 towed howitzers, ~315,000 trucks of various sizes, more vehicles in storage. Home Guard Units maintain almost three times as much equipment, all of them retired from active service. State Militia units tend to lack main battle tanks, mostly being equipped with light tanks and armored personnel carriers instead of infantry fighting vehicles.
Breakdown of naval sector - The Royal Navy is a force intended for coastal defense and power projection, formed in 1788 by decree of King Washington. The Navy boasts a strong fleet with over 300 warship, many of them nuclear powered. The fleet is split between several bases, with submarines stationed at Kings Bay and New London, Aircraft Carriers at Mayport, Norfolk, and Newport, and Naval Air Stations at most of those bases and locations in between them.
Personnel: 694,419 men and women
Ships: 13 Carriers, 36 Amphibious Warfare Ships, 30 Cruisers, 110 Destroyers, 50 Frigates, 70 Submarines, 11 Minesweepers, assorted auxiliary ships, ~5,000 aircraft
Also a part of the Navy are the Royal Marines and American Coast Guard. The Royal Marines, like the Navy and Army, were formed by King Washington in 1788 while the Coast Guard was formed by Parliament in 1915 to free up Naval ships for the War. After 1943, the Coast Guard was moved from military control to the Ministry of Homeland Security but the Coast Guard still claims it's lineage back to the Royal Navy.
Unlike the Army and Air Force, most states only have a token Naval Guard and Naval militia force, with only coastal states being required to maintain Naval militias. There is no Marine Corps segment to the Militias and the Marines also pride themselves on being the only all volunteer portion of the Armed Forces.
Personnel: 202,000 men and women
Equipment: ~400 tanks, ~900 LAVs, ~1,200 EFVs, ~24,000 trucks
Breakdown of air force sector - The Royal Air Force is the youngest branch, formed by decree in 1944 by then King Henry Hamilton. The Air Force has put a great deal of focus in maintaining a qualitative edge over possible adversaries, investing heavily into stealth technology and standoff range munitions. Major Air Force installations include the Air Force Academy at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, Scott Air Force Base in Illinois, Tyndall, Patrick, and Eglin Air Force Bases in Florida, and numerous others. Air Guard Units are located at most airports around the country and are often equipped with aircraft of older designs.

Public Goals - Secure peace in chaotic regions of the world, ensure the stability of trade routes and the safety of Americans abroad.
Private Goals - Expand American control across North America and ensure American dominance in Latin America.

Total military size - 2,462,103 Active military personnel, 7,350,101 in the Home Guard, 31,553,931 in 24 state militias.
Breakdown of ground sector - The Royal Army, established by decree of King Washington in 1788, is a relatively large and powerful organization, tasked with the defense of the Kingdom and Her overseas territories as well as with conducting offensive operations against the Kingdom's enemies. Tracing it's lineage to the Continental Army of General Washington, the Royal Army maintains a number of Continental Army formations to maintain the heritage and honors of those units.
The Royal Army is organized into a series of modular brigades and headquarters battalions, allowing the Army to rapidly deploy forces to any location in the world in as little as 96 hours, depending on the brigade. The Army consists of 95 Brigade Combat Teams and 185 Modular Support Brigades.
The Brigade Combat Teams are in one of three types: Armor, Stryker, or Infantry. Most of the 95 BCTs in the Royal Army either Armor or Stryker Brigades, with 33 armor brigades and 26 Stryker Brigades. The remaining 26 brigades are Infantry Brigades, organized into 10 Airborne, 10 Air Assault, 5 Mountain, and 1 Foot Guards Brigades.
Major Army installations include Fort Bragg, Fort Knox, Fort Benning, Redstone Arsenal, Fort Eustis, Fort Lee, Fort Belvoir, Fort McNair, Fort Chaffee, and West Point Military College.
Personnel: 1,114,000 men and women
Equipment: ~3,000 M10 tanks, ~7,000 tracked AFVs, ~7,800 Stryker AFVs, 1,764 SPGs, 702 MLRS, 468 towed howitzers, ~315,000 trucks of various sizes, more vehicles in storage. Home Guard Units maintain almost three times as much equipment, all of them retired from active service. State Militia units tend to lack main battle tanks, mostly being equipped with light tanks and armored personnel carriers instead of infantry fighting vehicles.
Breakdown of naval sector - The Royal Navy is a force intended for coastal defense and power projection, formed in 1788 by decree of King Washington. The Navy boasts a strong fleet with over 300 warship, many of them nuclear powered. The fleet is split between several bases, with submarines stationed at Kings Bay and New London, Aircraft Carriers at Mayport, Norfolk, and Newport, and Naval Air Stations at most of those bases and locations in between them.
Personnel: 694,419 men and women
Ships: 13 Carriers, 36 Amphibious Warfare Ships, 30 Cruisers, 110 Destroyers, 50 Frigates, 70 Submarines, 11 Minesweepers, assorted auxiliary ships, ~5,000 aircraft
Also a part of the Navy are the Royal Marines and American Coast Guard. The Royal Marines, like the Navy and Army, were formed by King Washington in 1788 while the Coast Guard was formed by Parliament in 1915 to free up Naval ships for the War. After 1943, the Coast Guard was moved from military control to the Ministry of Homeland Security but the Coast Guard still claims it's lineage back to the Royal Navy.
Unlike the Army and Air Force, most states only have a token Naval Guard and Naval militia force, with only coastal states being required to maintain Naval militias. There is no Marine Corps segment to the Militias and the Marines also pride themselves on being the only all volunteer portion of the Armed Forces.
Personnel: 202,000 men and women
Equipment: ~400 tanks, ~900 LAVs, ~1,200 EFVs, ~24,000 trucks
Breakdown of air force sector - The Royal Air Force is the youngest branch, formed by decree in 1944 by then King Henry Hamilton. The Air Force has put a great deal of focus in maintaining a qualitative edge over possible adversaries, investing heavily into stealth technology and standoff range munitions. Major Air Force installations include the Air Force Academy at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, Scott Air Force Base in Illinois, Tyndall, Patrick, and Eglin Air Force Bases in Florida, and numerous others. Air Guard Units are located at most airports around the country and are often equipped with aircraft of older designs. Most states also maintain some form of Air Militia, though this primarily serves as a supporting arm to the Air Guard.
Personnel: 633,484 men and women
Equipment: ~6,000 aircraft, ~200 satellites, ~400 ballistic missiles

Extra military information - Current US conscription law requires all male and female citizens who are at least 20 years old to perform four years of military or alternative service. Nearly 20% of Americans aged 20-24 end up doing their four years in the military, with the remaining 80% of Americans performing some other form of national service. After their term of National service is concluded, those who served in the military are transferred to the Home Guard while those who did not serve in the military are transferred to their state militias. Home Guard soldiers are required to attend 60 training days a year, most often 2 weekends a month and two weeks as a summer or winter exercise. Often it is split into two 8 day exercises and 10 weekend training periods. State Militias are required by law to conduct 24 training days per year, typically taking one weekend out of each month. Both Home Guard and Militia personnel remain under arms until their 40th year of life, when they are finally released from all obligation of National Service.

History [MUST LINE UP WITH HISTORY IN OP, NOT SET IN STONE AND MUST BE APPROVED BY OPs, WRITE IT LIKE IT'S GOING IN THE TIMELINE SECTION - After the end of the Great American War, the United States focused its attention on strengthening its economy and becoming a major economic, political, and military power not just in the America's but in the World.
In the 1940s and 1950s, America jumped on the atomic bandwagon, successfully testing a 20 kiloton device in an underground facility in Tennessee in 1970. However, the end of the Cold War and arms reduction treaties would severely limit the American nuclear arsenal, resulting in a greater emphasis on conventional warfare tactics.
Following the creation of the UN Security Council, America lobbied to be included, arguing for a voice on the American continent. After Egypt was admitted, America increased the volume of its demands, arguing that if Africa got a voice, North America deserved one, as well.
During the Afghan Civil War, America would funnel money and weapons to the Afghan Royal Family, hoping to curry favor with the Afghans and secure a partner in the region. Islamic terrorists would later attack New York City, Chicago, and Washington, killing hundreds of Americans and sparking a wave of public outrage against the Afghan government.
During the latter half of the 20th Century, America attempted to impose itself into the other nations on the continent, seeking to bring them into its own borders and secure hegemony over the continent.

Couple extra bits that I've calculated based on the map.
Population: 191,645,482
GDP: $10,228,809,000,000

Hold on the gdp and population till it can be checked but I am sure its close to that. Accepted.

I used the 2018 US population from Population Pyramid.com then subtracted 58.28% of the population from that to get a rough estimate of the 2018 population of the Eastern US. In terms of GDP, I just found a list of US states ordered by GDP, found the 25 + D.C. that make up the Eastern US, and added the numbers together.

My app didn't include The Bahamas or Bermuda, which add 455,011 people to my population and $15.582 billion to my GDP, based on Wikipedia.

History - Brazil’s rise to prominence started even before it had won its independence from Portugal. As one of the constituent Kingdoms of the Portuguese Empire, the vast land power in the new world was always given a certain degree of independence from its colonial motherland. Drawing in immigrants and intellectuals with its natural beauty and the promise of a new life, Brazil rapidly became the jewel in the Portuguese crown and quickly developed a proud culture of its own. However, the sense of a Brazilian identity didn’t fully take root until the colonial Kingdom found itself temporarily the seat of the Portuguese Empire during the Napoleonic Wars. Although the Treaty of Athens restored Portugal, the people of Brazil never forgot their brief flirtation with true independence. It was a Portuguese Prince, the heir to the throne, who eventually declared the Empire free from Portugal. Having fallen in love with his South American home, and feeling more Brazilian than Portuguese, the new Emperor of Brazil lead the fledgling nation to victory against the declining European power in a relatively bloodless revolution.

Born into the fires of Latin American revolution, with the idealism of a new continent just freeing itself from the shackles of its foreign masters, Brazil shared the dynamism of its sibling nations. Separate from the rigid histories of the European monarchies, and yet not burdened by the bloody failure in the former United States, Brazil emerged as a progressive nation which pioneered efforts for gender equality and free speech. With a bounty of natural resources and a long coastline with which to interact with the world, Brazil quickly emerged onto the world stage as a prominent trading nation. What the fledgling Empire lacked in military capabilities and experience, it made up for with a determined national spirit and a growing economic prowess.

Under the rule of Emperor Pedro I, the Empire of Brazil was the dominant power in South America, but that changed rapidly after the founder of the nation passed away - leaving his underage son to ascend to the throne. The regency of Emperor Pedro II proved to be a dangerous time for the young nation. The signing of the Constitution in Gran Colombia led to murmings of dissent and envy amongst the Brazilian populace. Border provinces - distant from the reach of the central government - were drawn towards the idealistic promise of the new Colombian state, while intellectuals in the big cities paraded its founding document as a sign of the future to come. With only a fragile grip on power, the Emperor - under the advice of his regent and advisors - introduced reforms that increased the powers of the Parliament and the Courts in order to appease the dissenters.

It wasn’t until the Emperor came of age that the situation stabilised, although the dynamics of governance had shifted towards decentralisation and democracy. Pedro II was forced to navigate a tightrope in the treacherous political waters, but Brazil was fortunate enough to have a capable statesman at the helm. Patient, the Emperor saw the cracks in Gran Colombia’s idealism and was determined to wait for the right moment to fix the issues plaguing his own nation. That moment came when King Louis-Phillipe passed away, and the other South American power descended into its own regency. As Gran Colombia turned inwards, Pedro II struck at the dissenters and republicans in his midst. It was a brutal - if sudden - crackdown that saw royalists and conservatives arrest and charge politicians and governors from across the country. With the military’s support, the Emperor succeeded in effectively snuffing out the opposition to royal rule and rewrote the constitution to solidify his grip over the nation. The campaign would likely not have been as successful if the Emperor had not found a kindred spirit in the Colombian President.

As Pedro II clamped down on dissent within Brazil, the doors of Gran Colombia - that bastion of anti-royalist sentiment on the continent - were slammed shut by Robert the Terror. Going as far as to collaborate behind the scenes, the President and the Emperor routed out any cross-border collaboration between the opposition and effectively secured both of their dynasties in a time of turbulence and upheaval. But Pedro’s successor was not so fortunate in his choice of contemporaries.

With no male heirs, Pedro II abdicated as his age advanced, leaving the throne to his eldest daughter: Isabel. Within a few years, the great Emperor had passed away. Isabel had never truly wanted to rule as Empress. She had always been far more fond of travel and social gatherings than the intricacies of rule. During her reign, national efforts were primarily focused on developing the arts and the sciences, culminating in the first true Imperial Carnivale that was held in her honour. She would sponsor visiting academics from as far afield as Europe and Japan to lecture in Brazillian universities, while also instituting generous scholarships for the country’s best and brightest to study abroad, but the military and its generals withered away without her guidance. Battles, guns and cannon were the blunt instruments of men, and she had no intention of wasting her treasury on the weapons of war. And so it was that Brazil was caught entirely unprepared when Gran Colombian forces marched across the border.

Overwhelmed and undersupplied, the small local garrisons either retreated or surrendered with minimal resistance. It was only due to the Colombians’ own lacklustre supply lines and incompetent leadership that their armies did not push deeper into the Empire’s territory. While the brief conflict was a propaganda triumph for Colombia, it was a humiliation for the Empress. Even if the territory lost was minimal, Isabel’s reign never fully recovered and she was pressed to abdicate not a decade later in favor of her son: an officer in Brazil’s army. Advised by a council of generals and admirals, the new Emperor launched a determined push to reinvigorate a national spirit in the Brazilian people, beginning by instituting national service and expanding the local defence industry to supply a military expansion. The arms build up in Brazil, mirroring that of Gran Colombia, raised fears that a major war was about to break out on the conflict. Commentators watched the continent with bated breath as the two great powers engaged in an arms race that threatened to erupt at any moment. And yet, there was little more than a puff of air.

As the Great War rocked the world in 1914, sending reverberations across oceans as millions died in battlefields in Europe, South America remained relatively quiet. Having maintained close familial and cultural links with Portugal, Brazil immediately joined the war on their side. But only a limited number of soldiers were ever sent abroad, with the focus remaining on supply weapons and material for the war effort. Meanwhile, any battles in South America were minor skirmishes at best. The combined display of restraint by the three major Latin American states ensured that the continent weathered the storm of global conflict. With it, came a growing public opinion for South America to remain a peaceful continent that would not follow in the disastrous decisions of North America, Europe and Asia. Even in the Great American War, when Brazil took a more substantive role, the impacts felt even by defeat were relatively light.

Emboldened by the success of armed neutrality, Brazil was a vocal proponent of the Third World during the Cold War. As Russia and Japan locked horns with their weapons of mass destruction aimed at each other’s cities, Brazil sought to navigate a path between the two global powers. Developing fairly slowly during the earlier part of the twentieth century, the end of the Cold War brought a sea-change in the Empire’s fortunes.

When Gabriel II ascended to the throne, Brazil was a stable, growing nation - but its people were largely poor and suffered from a large degree of inequality. Seeking to change this, the Emperor instituted a series of reforms in the country’s economy that sought to reduce the direct control wielded by the court and the royal family. This allowed for industries to develop more nimbly, free from the burden of a strained central government that had to administer laws over such a large expanse of territory. In one of those great chances of history, the end of the Cold War, the thirst of the West and East for finish products, Brazil’s cheap labour force and plentiful natural resources, combined to kick-start an economic miracle. Pivoting itself towards serving the foreign market with its exports, Brazil encouraged foreign investment in an attempt to quickly grow its economy. This project paid dividends in the subsequent decades, bringing swathes of the population out of poverty and ensuring that the Emperor was beloved by his people.

Now increasingly aware of his own frailty and determined not to have his country’s development stop with his death, the Emperor has turned his attention towards the matter of his own succession. It remains to be seen what the future will hold for Brazil, and what place she will take in the world at large.

I'd use GFP as a baseline and then adjust based on how your country looks on the map and the vision you have for it. My America is actually more militarized than IRL, largely because Alexander Hamilton, King Number 2 in this timeline, was a fan of a strong central government, a strong economy, trade, and a powerful military.

Different place. And the Russian looking Eastern Canada is independent kingdom under a branch of the Romanovs.

Wait hold up. America by Amphibious Assault Ships do you mean helicopter carriers? I’m looking back at your military and I’m having some concerns so unaccepted until we can work this out. Right now you seem way too OP.

So Russian Canada? And not super-sized Liberia? OK.

How many American Indians are living in Western North America? I would think a could number of them would still be alive, considering that it was mostly US Government policies that led to their near extermination.

Those are Amphibious Warfare Ships, so Helicopter Carriers, Landing Ship Docks, and Landing Platform Docks (LHA, LHD, LSD, and LPD). So no, not all helicopter carriers.

Let me and the co-op look into this. Also can you explain the militia role cause 36 million people not working regularly would hit your economy.

How many are Helicopter Carriers?

Yes. I thought I went over it in the app but I will provide further explanation.

The way that conscription works in my America is that, at or around the 20th year of a persons life, that Person is called forth for national service. For about 80% of the 13,000,000 Americans ages 20-24, this takes the form of things like Peace Corps, Americorps, and other non-military civil service works. At the end of this four year period, they return home to take up civilian careers however they remain as parts of the militia, part time organizations that serve as a third wave in a time of war. As members of the militia, they are only required to report for training 24 days out of the year, generally being done on one weekend each month.

This is in contrast to the Home Guard, which is made up of the 20% of 20-24 year olds that got stuck in the Armed Forces. The Home Guard is required to perform 60 days of training, including 48 days at of general training (often classroom lectures and basic drills like the US Army Reserve) and a 12 day exercise. As stated in my app, the 12 day exercise is generally split up to coincide with a pair of summer and winter drills, forming two 10 day exercises, one in the summer and one in the winter.

Both the Home Guard and the Militia are part time reserve units, with the majority of the individuals time spent doing civilian stuff. Working, raising families, and doing other things that civilians enjoy doing. The only full time military personnel are the roughly 2.5 million men and women actively serving in the Armed Forces.

Does that help?

Roughly a dozen, though Helicopter Carrier is rather inaccurate, due to the presence of Well Decks on most of those ships.

What might be useful to clear stuff up is a qualitative indication of the "tiers" of nations. Like who are the "superpowers" (I'd imagine the likes of Russia and Japan, maybe France, Korea, Germany, Canton), and who are the "great powers".

Yeah, I will do that.

So another concern we have is your GDP. The Great American War did a lot of damage to everyone on the continent so we aren't sure it would be as high as IRL. Using Germany's GDP per-capita as a baseline your GDP would be roughly 8 trillion.

Added some initial characters. May throw up some more down the road if they become important - in particular the Empress-Consort and the second Prince.
