Anything you'd like to add?:

Still TBA, but hopefully suffice for a reservation.

Look at the big history onward of 1945. I forgot to put it in the short history, but there was a ginormous slav rebellion across the Balkans, former Soviet union, and Poland

Oh I know, that's why they didn't control all of R.K.U. After all, I also read that there's "notable exception". I want to create a small enclave of SS-dominated Reichkomissariat fighting both the slavs and the Herr, perhaps even act as Nazi-in-exile later on if the Herr came out victorious in the civil war. It will make sense in the history too, what's with Hans-Adolf Prützmann being the one who organized Werwolf. If there's anything left in Eastern europe for Nazi Germany, it'll be this here.

Of course, if this still does not satisfy you, I can switch my reservation. Maybe playing as the French state who now looking to capitalize Germany's chaos to assert themselves as the main axis power in Europe, or reverse to this, RK Norway that's dominated by the Herr.

I know, I was kind of hoping for a nazi warlord in the east. What threw me off was your description and population - considering the state of the reich and the east.

The pop actually less than half of Western Ukraine irl, but i can still lower this if you wanted to. Regardless, does this mean I have the green ligh to continue making the app and playing as R.K.U?

A general run down of your equipment: The Philippine military equipment consists of both pre-1941 and lend-lease WWII US weapons left by the USAFFE. This includes M1 carbines, M2 brownings, QF 2.95-inch Mountain Guns, M3 Stuarts, M4 Shermans, Military Jeeps as well as several warships bought from the United States. The equipment are fairly up to standard with some tanks needing maintenance and an Admirable-class minesweeper being in drydock.

Enemies?: None as of the moment, possibly Chinese Communists

Nation's history: The Japanese invasion of the Philippine islands was a bloody one. The Filipino and American forces dug in and tried to stop the relentless flood of Japanese troops in Luzon in vain. Soon, the US dominion- The Philippine Commonwealth was toppled and replaced by a Japanese puppet state led by President Jose P. Laurel. The Philippine Resistance- an extensive network of Filipino and American soldiers began a campaign to pester the Japanese occupiers all across the Philippine islands. At the turn of 1945, the Japanese were beginning to lose ground in China and several divisions had to be sent to the mainland to repel the Chinese resistance. For the next five years, Filipino and American remnants would slowly gain ground, capturing small villages at first then began to besiege major Japanese fortifications as the Americans began to land troops under the command of General MacArthur in Lingayen Gulf. With the US still tied down in Europe however and the numbers sent to the Philippines were only half of what was originally planned to be. With a token Japanese army left to defend the occupied territories, the citizens of the country simultaneously began to rise and joined in the militia. It was only a matter of time until Manila as recaptured and victory was proclaimed. Five years later, reconstruction is beginning to take shape across the islands.

I got four questions:

• What is the current state of the Third Reich?
• Why did the UK split?
• How is Asia doing after the war?
• Is Africa independent?

You've read the history right?

I'm not the OP, but I'll try to answer these questions:
1. The Third Reich and her territories are most likely split between many different Warlord Factions, each still vying for control. There would most likely be two distinct Warlord Factions: SS or Wehrmacht controlled
2. The UK didn't split, the player nation is simply a unique British faction that took advantage of the German Civil War and declared independence from German Occupied territory, after the atomb bombing of York and the pulling out of the US it's unknown what's happened to the British Government
3. Asia is a complete sh*t show, especially China. Japan pretty much lost her entire navy and army (because the Americans dropped an atom bomb on their naval forces), and around 50% of their male population is dead, leading to Japan abandoning mainland Asia and returning to the isles (though many of Japan's allies and puppets continue to fight). China especially has been devastated, from what I read it's pretty much turned into the Fallout Wasteland (replace radiation with poison for chemical weapons), and I mean that in the literal sense. Constant war and a large famine meant that China had lost a massive amount of its population, to the point that, according to history, there could be found 20 women for every one man. The KMT and the Communists attempted a last ditch effort to destroy the Japanese, which pretty much lead to their destruction as they lost almost all of their forces in the pretty much suicide attack. Though besides territory formerly owned by China everywhere else in Asia is relatively intact (South East, Korea, Manchuria, Thailand, India, etc)
4. Last thing that's mentioned about Africa is how Germany's main HQ for the African front was atom bombed by the US, killing Erwin Rommel, and how the Allies ultimately overran the Axis forces and pushed them out of Africa. It's safe to say that with the British government pretty much devastated and non-existent at this point from the atomic bombings of York and the fall of England and London, the collapse of the German Reich into brutal Post-Endor levels of infighting Civil War, and the US pulling out of the war that many areas of Africa (especially former British colonies) would've gained independence or also split into warlord factions.

This ending paragraph is a good summary of things now:
"Across the world, for the next two years, the Reich would continue to tear itself apart, as rebels from the east and west would quickly begin cutting out for themselves their own little states in the chaos, while the fatherland burned in a brothers war fueled by the deadliest weapons ever fielded in battle. The shattered states of Asia ( imperial and independent ) would find themselves suddenly without an overwhelming Japanese presence, and now forced to rebuild a poisoned continent with no men or resources to carry it out. Stranded Axis armies across Britain, Africa, and the East would either be overwhelmed or adapt to their new and harsh reality. The United States, savaged to the core by this never ending and pointless war, would retreat the last of it's troops from the Eastern hemisphere by the be middle of 1949. By 1950, the war... was over. Everyone lost."

I did read the history, yes, but it was very long and I needed to know stuff just in case I would applicate since this RP's backstory had so much devastation, especially what has just unfolded in Germany and China. I just need to be sure what my nation would be.

Nation Application
NS name: Costa Fierro
Nation Name: Republic of Argentina
Location in the world: Argentina, the Falkland Islands, the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands
Leader/s: President Juan Domingo Perón

Population: 18,927,000
Political Stability on a scale of 1 to 5: Four. Argentina, despite having a turbulent history regarding internal politics, is largely a stable nation in 1955.
Description of Government: Argentina is a constitutional presidential republic.

The President of Argentina serves as the head of state and of government, and is the highest power within the Republic.

Much of the power of the government is vested in the National Congress of Argentina, a bicameral legislature split between the 72 seat Senate and the 257 seat Chamber of Deputies.
Flag:
Capital: Buenos Aires

Economic prosperity on a scale of 1 to 5: Five. Argentina was unaffected by the Second World War and is profiting from the rebuilding of most of Europe by supplying rebuilding countries whose agriculture was devastated during the war with foodstuffs, in particular meat and grains.
Agrarian or industrialized state: While Argentina has a substantial industrial base, its biggest contributor economically is agriculture.
Role of Women in society: Women fill largely domestic roles within Argentinian society, although for the most part women in rural areas are bound by much stricter norms than women in the cities.

Active military troop count: The Armed Forces of the Republic of Argentina are composed of 160,000 personnel, split between the Army, Navy, and Air Force.
Total possible troop count: Argentina has two paramilitary forces; the Gendarmerie, with 75,000 personnel, and the Naval Prefecture, which has 30,000 personnel.
Average age of soldier: The average soldier serving in Argentina is in his early 20's.
Are your troops more tactical or fanatical? Argentine soldiers are tactical and thus will engage primarily in tactical operations.
Are your troops more organized or unconventional? Argentina has well organised armed forces.
Is your doctrine bold or cautious? Argentinan troops can fight with valour and favour a mixture of caution and boldness.
Average soldier on a scale of 1 to 5: Four. While Argentina has a well trained and motivated army, they lack any combat experience.
A general run down of your equipment ( as well as anything of note ): Argentina mostly operates a mixture of pre-war and war-surplus equipment as well as a number of weapons designed and manufacturered locally.

Enemies? Argentina has no official enemies but historical rivalries with other prominent or wealthy Latin American nations, in particular Chile and Brazil.

Nation's history: Argentina entered into the 1940's after a period of protracted economic depression, concurrent with the Great Depression wreaking havoc across the world. Argentina in 1940 was coming out of a period of time known as the Infamous Decade, with the economic depression coupled with a decade of goverment repression, corruption, and fraudulent elections. With the outbreak of war in 1939, Argentina largely stayed neutral as it had during the Great War, and there was significant public support for continuing Argentina's neutrality. This was reinforced after the Royal Navy sank the German heavy cruiser Graf Spee at the Battle of the River Plate on December 13, 1939. Great Britain had the most influence of the great powers over Argentina, and the United States was interested in establishing its own hegemonic presence on the contintent. British interests in Argentina were significant, it supplied most of Europe and Great Britain with grain and meat, which in return provided economic benefits for Argentine farmers, and allowed the government to continue the industrialisation policies implemented in the years before.

The Rio Conference of 1942 did little to sway Argentina's intents on remaining neutral. Despite consistent calls for the republic to enter on the side of the Allies, Argentina's continued neutrality provided it not only with the ability to continue economic development, but also potentially act in its own interests. These interests included annexing territories it considered to be Argentinian; the Falkland Islands, and the South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands. The primary candiate to succeed President Ramón Castillo, Robustiano Patrón Costas, intentions on joining the Allies had rammifications for the republic, and deeply angered the pro-neutrality military.

The deteriorating relationship between the military and civilian government was one of the primary reasons behind the Argentine Revolution of 1943. While overtly opposed to the war, the real reason was reestablishing military control over industrialisation and Argentina's growing factories. While Castillo's administration had been wrought with political and military conspiracies, the coup that occurred on June 4, 1943 came as a surprise to the Argentine public, and was somewhat unique in that it was an entirely military affair. Previous coups had civilian participation. Castillo, and his closest ministers and advisers, fled to Uruguay aboard a fishing trawler.

While he did not lead the coup, General Arturo Rawson declared himself president on June 4, 1943. However, as he did not swear an oath of office. An error in communications saw Rawson resign on June 6, and was replaced in power by Major-General Pedro Pablo Ramírez. Ramírez maintained Argentine neutrality in the face of growing American diplomatic pressure, although events in 1944 would see Argentina violate their neutrality.

The fall of London in early Feburary 1944 signalled to the Argentines that the British had fallen, and with it their economic prospects. Facing a protracted economic crisis, the government under the control of Major-General Ramírez began planning for an operation to settle Argentina's longstanding claims over the Falklands and the South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands. Plans were put in motion for an invasion of the Falklands for the summer of 1944 and 1945. Ramírez was succeeded as President by Major-General Edelmiro Julián Farrell, who paved the way for Juan Perón's political emergence.

The military operation to annex the Falklands did not have a codename, it was simply referred to in Spanish as La Liberación, served two purposes. Firstly, it served as a nationalist distraction to steer public concern away from the loss of Argentina's largest agricultural goods importers and secondly, to deny a potential Axis foothold in the South Atlantic. With the Royal Navy out of the picture, the Argentine Navy was free to act as it pleased. The plan called for a flotilla to be assembled at the port of Commodoro Rivadavia before sailing south for the Falklands. Escorting the numerous transport and cargo vessels south was a small fleet of navy ships containing several destroyers, the two heavy cruisers Veinticinco de Mayo and Almirante Brown, as well as La Argentina. The flotilla sailed south on December 19, 1944, with 2,500 marines onboard various transport ships. The forces overran the local garrisons and the islands were proclaimed as part of Argentina on Christmas Day. The South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands were invaded and annexed between December 26 and December 30.

With the dispute between Great Britain and Argentina resolved, President Farrell turned his attention to the disputes with Chile. There were two principal areas in which Argentina and Chile disagreed territorially; Tierra del Fuego in the south, specifically over control over the islands of Picton, Nueva, and Lennox, in addition to control of the Beagle Channel, and of the Laguna del Desierto in the Andes. While both countries had sought international arbitration, a 1946 US aerial surveillance flight reinforced the Argentine claim that the lake and several smaller lakes to its south, were well within the territory claimed by Argentina, as the lake emptied into the Atlantic. As international arbitration was impossible, the Argentines sought to reinforce their claims through military action.

However, the Argentine high command were struck with a particular problem. The landings on the Falklands and in the South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands were unopposed. The landings off Tierra del Fuego would not be. Furthmore they were not sure that an Argentine invasion of Chilean territory would be seen positively by the Americans, their meek diplomatic protests were largely considered to be a reflection of their belief in a functional Great Britain after the loss of London. The Chileans themselves complicated matters further, as they had a similarly sized navy that was considered by some to be more powerful, and the Argentines were not willing to go all in on a naval assault on the islands if they lost what would likely be the largest naval battle in the Southern Hemisphere in the 20th century.

Planning for this invasion was well underway when Juan Perón assumed the presidency on June 4, 1946. Perón was well known and well liked within Argentina, and this translated into a substantial victory in the Feburary presidential elections in 1946, where he and his Labour Party won 52.8% of the vote. Perón's first two years saw a mass of nationalisations of essential infrastructure and companies, including a guaranteed buyer for grain. He also strived to maintain Argentine economic independence despite American political pressures. After the end of the Second World War in 1950, Argentina continued it exports of grains, meat, and oil to a shattered Europe and Great Britain, and in return, attracted significant waves of migrants wishing to enter Argentina as a safe bet. These included a number of engineers and designers from Europe, including famed German aircraft designers Kurt Tank and Reinar Horten. Using the revenue gained from Argentina's food exports, Perón initiated a new wave of reforms, this time to the industrial sector. Perón also modernised the military, bringing in new tanks, aircraft, guns and ships, many of which were purchased as war surplus from the United States. In addition, the Argentine government went shopping in Europe, purchasing leftover equipment for study.

Perón's populism, despite huge success among the middle and working classes, was creating a number of detractors within the upper classes within Argentina. The United States, wary of Perón's populism, watched Argentina with concern. Plans were being hatched, and it was a matter of time before one of them would begin first.

Nation's history: Argentina entered into the 1940's after a period of protracted economic depression, concurrent with the Great Depression wreaking havoc across the world. Argentina in 1940 was coming out of a period of time known as the Infamous Decade, with the economic depression coupled with a decade of goverment repression, corruption, and fraudulent elections. With the outbreak of war in 1939, Argentina largely stayed neutral as it had during the Great War, and there was significant public support for continuing Argentina's neutrality. This was reinforced after the Royal Navy sank the German heavy cruiser Graf Spee at the Battle of the River Plate on December 13, 1939. Great Britain had the most influence of the great powers over Argentina, and the United States was interested in establishing its own hegemonic presence on the contintent. British interests in Argentina were significant, it supplied most of Europe and Great Britain with grain and meat, which in return provided economic benefits for Argentine farmers, and allowed the government to continue the industrialisation policies implemented in the years before.

The Rio Conference of 1942 did little to sway Argentina's intents on remaining neutral. Despite consistent calls for the republic to enter on the side of the Allies, Argentina's continued neutrality provided it not only with the ability to continue economic development, but also potentially act in its own interests. These interests included annexing territories it considered to be Argentinian; the Falkland Islands, and the South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands. The primary candiate to succeed President Ramón Castillo, Robustiano Patrón Costas, intentions on joining the Allies had rammifications for the republic, and deeply angered the pro-neutrality military.

The deteriorating relationship between the military and civilian government was one of the primary reasons behind the Argentine Revolution of 1943. While overtly opposed to the war, the real reason was reestablishing military control over industrialisation and Argentina's growing factories. While Castillo's administration had been wrought with political and military conspiracies, the coup that occurred on June 4, 1943 came as a surprise to the Argentine public, and was somewhat unique in that it was an entirely military affair. Previous coups had civilian participation. Castillo, and his closest ministers and advisers, fled to Uruguay aboard a fishing trawler.

While he did not lead the coup, General Arturo Rawson declared himself president on June 4, 1943. However, as he did not swear an oath of office. An error in communications saw Rawson resign on June 6, and was replaced in power by Major-General Pedro Pablo Ramírez. Ramírez maintained Argentine neutrality in the face of growing American diplomatic pressure, although events in 1944 would see Argentina violate their neutrality.

The fall of London in early Feburary 1944 signalled to the Argentines that the British had fallen, and with it their economic prospects. Facing a protracted economic crisis, the government under the control of Major-General Ramírez began planning for an operation to settle Argentina's longstanding claims over the Falklands and the South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands. Plans were put in motion for an invasion of the Falklands for the summer of 1944 and 1945. Ramírez was succeeded as President by Major-General Edelmiro Julián Farrell, who paved the way for Juan Perón's political emergence.

The military operation to annex the Falklands did not have a codename, it was simply referred to in Spanish as La Liberación, served two purposes. Firstly, it served as a nationalist distraction to steer public concern away from the loss of Argentina's largest agricultural goods importers and secondly, to deny a potential Axis foothold in the South Atlantic. With the Royal Navy out of the picture, the Argentine Navy was free to act as it pleased. The plan called for a flotilla to be assembled at the port of Commodoro Rivadavia before sailing south for the Falklands. Escorting the numerous transport and cargo vessels south was a small fleet of navy ships containing several destroyers, the two heavy cruisers Veinticinco de Mayo and Almirante Brown, as well as La Argentina. The flotilla sailed south on December 19, 1944, with 2,500 marines onboard various transport ships. The forces overran the local garrisons and the islands were proclaimed as part of Argentina on Christmas Day. The South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands were invaded and annexed between December 26 and December 30.

With the dispute between Great Britain and Argentina resolved, President Farrell turned his attention to the disputes with Chile. There were two principal areas in which Argentina and Chile disagreed territorially; Tierra del Fuego in the south, specifically over control over the islands of Picton, Nueva, and Lennox, in addition to control of the Beagle Channel, and of the Laguna del Desierto in the Andes. While both countries had sought international arbitration, a 1946 US aerial surveillance flight reinforced the Argentine claim that the lake and several smaller lakes to its south, were well within the territory claimed by Argentina, as the lake emptied into the Atlantic. As international arbitration was impossible, the Argentines sought to reinforce their claims through military action.

However, the Argentine high command were struck with a particular problem. The landings on the Falklands and in the South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands were unopposed. The landings off Tierra del Fuego would not be. Furthmore they were not sure that an Argentine invasion of Chilean territory would be seen positively by the Americans, their meek diplomatic protests were largely considered to be a reflection of their belief in a functional Great Britain after the loss of London. The Chileans themselves complicated matters further, as they had a similarly sized navy that was considered by some to be more powerful, and the Argentines were not willing to go all in on a naval assault on the islands if they lost what would likely be the largest naval battle in the Southern Hemisphere in the 20th century.

Planning for this invasion was well underway when Juan Perón assumed the presidency on June 4, 1946. Perón was well known and well liked within Argentina, and this translated into a substantial victory in the Feburary presidential elections in 1946, where he and his Labour Party won 52.8% of the vote. Perón's first two years saw a mass of nationalisations of essential infrastructure and companies, including a guaranteed buyer for grain. He also strived to maintain Argentine economic independence despite American political pressures.
