Nation Application
NS name: The Traansval
Nation Name: Commonwealth of Canada
Location in the world: Canada; (The following are colonies directly under Royal control) British Africa, India, British Malaya, Hong Kong, Singapore, and British holdings in the Caribbean, Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans (Islands). (The following are Dominions and Independent Colonies aligned with the crown) South Africa, New Zealand, Australia,.
Leader/s: King George VI, Winston Churchil, Louis St. Laurent

Population: 18 Million (Canada); 377 Million (India); 73 Million (British Africa); 16 Million (Burma); 5 Million (Malaya and Singapore); 1.2 Million (Hong Kong); 425,000 (Various Island Holdings); 1.3 Million (British Middle East).
Political Stability on a scale of 1 to 5: 4
Description of Government: Canada is a Representative Democracy with an elected parliament and a Prime Minister. In recent history, there has also existed the Royal Advisory Comittee; formed from the old British Government, it official acts to advise the King (Who is still officially Head of Government for Canada) but in reality it acts using the Kings power to run the Canadian Government.

Capital: Toronto

Economic prosperity on a scale of 1 to 5: 3
Agrarian or industrialized state: Largely Industrial
Role of Women in society: Women have the ability to vote and social/economic mobility along with the ability to serve in non-combat roles in the military, but are still restricted by traditional social norms.

Active military troop count: 400,000 Service men in Combat Roles (Canadian Army) - 750,000 Servicemen in Combat Roles (British African Troops) - 1.3 Million Servicemen in Combat Roles (British India) - 90,000 Servicemen in Combat Roles (British Malaya)
Total possible troop count: 1.1 Million Service Elidgable Men (Canada) - 1.43 Million Service Elidgable Men (Africa) - 2.5 Million Service Elidgable Men (India) - 300,000 Service Elidgable Men (Malaya)
Average age of soldier: 18-40
Are your troops more tactical or fanatical: Tactical
Are your troops more organized or unconventional: Organized
Is your doctrine bold or cautious: Cautious
Average soldier on a scale of 1 to 5: 4 (Canada) - 3 (Africa) - 2 (India/Malaya/Other)
A general run down of your equipment: The Military makes large use of arms from the Second World War including Lend Lease items from the United States, equipment from Britain, and domestic production. This means that the Canadian Army uses a mix of arms, including Lee Enfield No.4 Rifles, M1 Garands, SMLE's, Thompson Submachine Guns, Sten Submachine Guns, Sherman tanks, British Tanks, and many others. In recent years attempts to standardize and modernize the military have been attempted, including a new project to replace the mix of Submachine guns and rifles with a standardized automatic rifle. In the colonies, heavily outdated equipment is used by the Colonial Forces, with some African units still using single shot rifles.

Enemies: British breakaway states and SS/Wehrmacht/German occupational forces/Collaborationists in Britain.

Nation's history:

When the Axis landed on the beaches of Britain, Churchil and the War Cabinet urged the public on to fight the enemy at every chance they took. Members of the Army, Home Guard, Reserves, and Partisan bands turned out to fight the invaders off the British Isle, but for every ten Germans they killed the enemy took another ten meters of ground. With the Channel and the air under Axis control, the enemy would funnel more and more troops into the slaughter, overwhelming the British forces and pushing them out of Southern England by 1943. Seeing the tide shifting, the Government was moved first north to Birmingham, and then fled abroad after the capture of London in 1944. With the help of the United States and the neutral Irish, the British Government was able to evacuate most of the British Army along with a few million British Citizens, but not all could be saved as the vast majority of the population was put under Nazi control and hundreds of thousands of Home Guard were captured as they made a last stand to allow the evacuation. Partisans would fight the Axis in resistance, but the rule of the United Kingdom had all but fallen in the Home Isles, and had instead fled abroad to safety in the colonies.

Once in Canada, the former government of the United Kingdom established the Royal Advisory Committee and the King took emergency powers over the Canadian Government. The British Empire was quickly reorganized and contact re-established with the colonies. Heavily dependant in the aid of the United States, the RAC would rebuild the Army and Navy from the shell that existed after the evacuation, eventually participating in the North African Campaigns with the United States and in Burma.

With the war over, Canada faces a uncertain destiny. After much public discontent the King's emergency powers were revoked and the Canadian Government re-established, but the King and his RAC still hold considerably Veto power and direct control over the Armed Forces, leading to a still continuing political conflict between the Exiles who wish to use Canada to reclaim the Home Isles and the native Canadians and Quebecois who fight to keep their rights and focus on Domestic issues. All the while the Kings control over the colonies remains tentative as independence movements begin to stur that threaten to destroy the Empire as we know it. For now, the King and the RAC work Canada's industry to its furthest extent to produce War materials to keep the Army strong to keep their hold over the Empire and to prepare for the Return.

I wonder how the Canadians will respond to the news of Argentine occupation of the Falklands and the South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands?

Just a few things:

Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the British Pacific were all conquered by the Japanese, and never reclaimed by the allies. As for India, much of the Eastern half of the subcontinent was unified under a collaborationist state of Indian nationalists. With all this in mind, your total territory and population will be a bit smaller than in your initial app.

what is more, I would lower the effectiveness of your African troops - considering the lack of recent investment into Africa and the general unstable conditions which persist there.

And finally, just keep in mind that some of your colonies I might allow to become independent if another player asks and I permit, like India or Egypt or what have you.

Fix the two aforementioned things, and you are accepted.

Im terribly sorry, but as a real life Canuck, I have to wonder, why would the capital be in Toronto, a negligible city at the time, when the established capital, by the decree of Queen Victoria herself, was and still is Ottawa. Just a minor detail. A slight nitpick.

Also, Toronto did not become the major metropolis it is today, until the 1970s-80s. This was because Quebec was governed by the French nationalist Rene Levesque, who mandated various language laws, requiring businesses to use French. The stringent language laws coupled with increasingly high taxes, caused a mass exodus of businesses from Montreal - then the economic center and largest city of Canada, to Toronto. Montreal's fortunes fell and Toronto took its place. This really took off in 1980, when Levesque called a referendum on independence for Quebec. Even though he lost (by a hair's breadth), the general hysteria and high tensions did not dissipate.

Except that Greece was on better terms with Egypt, and there's a large Greek population, especially in Alexandria. Presumably with the British presence gone, or fading, the place would be ripe for Revolution. Just saying. Look at what Nasser did IRL, in the 50s, with a much stronger Britain. If the King went down with the full backing and protection of a British Empire victorious in WWII, what will happen with an emasculated Britain, stripped of its home island.

Tag.

I'm possibly interested in app'ing for the Wehrmacht Forces fighting the German Civil War - would OP be able to map out the rough territories of the Wehrmacht and SS or would I be able to make approximations?

Actually, I have left the fate of Germany since the beginning of the civil war up to which ever player desired to play as the inheritor state. Weather that being ongoing civil war, or the conflict finally resolved.

The fate of the civil war is up to you - but I can make any map edits that you desire.

Edit: Plus, I've seen you RP before so I am fairly confident in your abilities.

Ahh, I see. I thought Germany will be a railroad of event rather than playablr nation.

...maybe I should really be French State instead.

I was kind of hoping for my eastern warlord....

But, for RP purposes, France would probably be more interesting.

Would Vichy survive, you think?

In my opinion, it should. There's no mention of it losing land to the allies after all, and with Italy invasion thwarted, there should be no Free french legion in the mainland

How's this: https://imgur.com/a/FWJKqll
The combined territories of the SS and OKW would cover all of the lands considered 'ethnically/historically german' by the nazis before the war (plus the related Dutch and Flemish populations). Vichy France would be granted all of the old republic's lands (bar Alsace-Lorraine) in exchange for supporting the OKW against the SS. Most of the SS resistance is in the East, but there are pockets in Flanders and Vorarlberg in Western Austria.

Is this an okay starting point?

Fantastic.

Now just your app with an appropriate history.
