Government Type:Liberal Democracy
Brief Explanation of Government: The government is broken down into three branches: The executive, judicial, and legislative. The judicial branch handles the laws of the nation, handing down justice when needed. The judicial branch is supposedly neutral in ideology, but is easily influenced by government officials to intemperate the constitution in certain ways. However, the branch is not afraid to go against the government, and deem laws or actions, unconstitutional if the need arises. The Legislative Branch is made up of the an Assembly, where seats are allocated based on the population of a region, leading to NYC having the most power and say within the government. The other states hate the idea of having NYC having the most power, and usually forms a coalition against the city to try and push its own agenda through. The Assembly has 60 seats and is able to vote the president out of office if need be. It is also in charge of creating the laws, and can override a veto from the president. The executive branch is in charge of enforcing the laws of the nation, accepting or rejecting proposed laws, and is in charge of the military. With most tasks delegated to the legislative branch, the executive branch usually works alongside the military to make sure that the defense of the state is up to standards. In recent years, the executive branch has been trying to consolidate more power, but was met with strong resistance from both the Assembly and the courts, both of whom wanted to keep the republic as a republic, and not just a republic in name. All three branches have many checks against one another, leading to a lot of deadlock between the various branches.
Ideology: Liberal Conservatism
Leader/s: Head of State: President Arthur Powell
Head of Government: Vice President Camden Stafford
General of the Army: Liam Allen
Admiral of the Home Fleet: Morgan Cole
Relations
Confederate States of America: Seen as the biggest threat to the freedom of New York. The government doesn't recognize its authority, and wishes to see the nation burned to the ground.
The Republic of Vermont: The Republic doesn't have much interests in Vermont, but is willing to open trade with another nation on the region.
Kingdom of Virginia and the Carolinas: While the Republic doesn't support the monarchy, as it goes against the ideals of what the revolution fought for, it's willing to look for closer ties, mainly as a deterrent to the CSA.
Canadian Confederation: The Republic is willing to open up more diplomacy with the nation, mainly through trade.
Republic of Massachusetts: While the Republic recognizes the authority of Massachusetts, in hopes of forming an alliance against the CSA, secretly, plans are being made to control the state once the looming threat of the CSA is over.

Brief Description of your Economy: New York's economy is tiny compared to those of the larger nations. However, the nation is very industrialized due to the majority of the population living in urban centers, and is a good trading port in the region. However, the nation doesn't have the capability to grow much food due to the climate and as such, is forced to import food from abroad.
Goals: Not get annexed, reclaim all of New York and New Jersey, maybe control Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.
History:
1775: American Revolution Begins
1776: Washington moves his Army to New York City, but is forced from the city after a British counter attack. The city would remain under British control for the rest of the war.
1783: British forces withdrew from the city after peace was made and independence gained.
1785: New York City is made the nation's capital.
1785-1800: After Shay's Rebellion and the failure of the Articles of Confederation, the United States began to dissolve, with many of the former members seeking their own path. NYC initially remained loyal to the government, but after seeing that the United States had no chance of being saved, declared its own independence, taking with it, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and half of New Jersey. Once a constitution was drafted, the Serene Republic of New York was founded. During this time, slavery was also abolished within the Republic, as slave labor wasn't useful any longer, leading to many former slaves looking for other jobs in the nation.
1800-1900: The Republic, with its urbanized population, and coastal location, began looking for trade with other nations, mainly in terms of food and raw materials. Trade would allow the nation to industrialize throughout the 19th century, leading to a large number of jobs becoming open, and to mass immigration as many came to the nation to look for new work and to escape persecution at home. While this led to economic growth, it also led to heightened tensions between the various groups, and riots broke out in 1845, leading to the military being sent in, and over 200 dead. The Republic made some reforms to try and deescalate the tension, but to no avail. As such, a harsh crackdown commenced, with the military being tasked with keeping the peace for the remainder of the year. In 1851, the government began reforms in the military, wanting to follow the British example of having a small but disciplined force. Race relations during this time, were horrible, with groups of both sides resorting to violence in various incidents, and communities being segregated heavily, an effect still going on in the present. In 1885, a CSA ship explodes off the coast of New York. The government denied any involvement and tensions between the two nations rose, leading to another series of military reforms.

Nation Name: Great Korean Empire / Joseon Kingdom
Symbols:
Imperial Seal of the Great Korean Empire
Imperial Flag of the Great Korean Empire
Location: 68
Population: 18,082,000
Capital City: Hanseong
Government Info
Government Type: Absolute Monarchy
Brief Explanation of Government: The Hwangje (Emperor) is the Supreme Leader of the nation. All power flows from him, through the Imperial Household and through the Imperial Courts. There are two Imperial Courts, the Court of the Right and the Court of the Left. The Court of the Right is a composed of all Gukgongs and Gungongs (Dukes) in the Empire. The Court of the Right advises the Hwangje on matters of foreign affairs and the military. It is also from the Court of the Right that the Hwangje appoints his Imperial Governors. The Court of the Left is a meritocratic body that is selected from the scholarly classes. Nominally it is open to men of all ranks, it is dominated by the lower nobility and upper merchant classes. The Court of the Left is selected by the Emperor, either directly at the annual Imperial Review of the Academies or indirectly through his Ministers of the Academies. The Court of the Left is divided between Western-educated Reformist Ministers and Confucian-educated Traditionalists. The Court of the Left advises the Hwangje on matters of domestic affairs such as taxes. The landed nobility has largely been reduced to small countryside estates. Imperial Governorships instead confer the powers traditionally held by a Gukgong, albeit at the whims of the Hwangje. The Great Korean Empire is divided into Imperial Provinces. Each Imperial Province is run by an Imperial Governor. The Imperial Provinces are further divided into counties. Counties are run by Magistrates appointed by the Imperial Governor. Towns within counties are run by a local noble appointed by the Magistrate. Councils of middle rank men advise the Governors and Magistrates.
Ideology: Neo-Confucianism, Reformism, Autocracy
Leader/s: Sinjong, the Hwangje Junggugin
Relations
Qing: Neutral. The Great Korean Empire is a former tributary state. As the Qing collapse, the eyes of the Imperial Courts gaze upon the former Korean lands of Manchuria.
Japan: Threatened. A natural counter to Imperial Russia, Japan is nonetheless a source of rabid republicanism. For now they provide guns and aid, in the future they may provide radicals. Korea fears their Continental Machinations.
Russia: Threatened. Fraternal Empires indeed. Russia is a source of material and couterbalance to the Republican Japanese. Nonetheless, Fraternal Empires still war. Korea fears their Continental Machinations.
Britain: A good counterbalance to Russia and Japan that doesn't have any overt territorial ambitions on Korea.
Population Info
Brief Description of your people: Koreans are a noble people. The nation is one of the most homogeneous in the world, with less than 80,000 residents being not of Hanguk descent. Koreans are mostly followers of traditional Korean Shamanistic Buddhism. Christianity is taking root in the coastal urban centers where contact with Europeans is most common. Koreans are divided by blood and rank. The social status system is often confusing for foreigners. Instituted in its current form by the Hwangje Hyeogmyeongjeogin in 18XX, the Saelonpi merged several historic strata and aristocratic systems. Saelonpi defines a persons social status based upon birth blood and by profession. Blood is divided into classes known as Bones. Bones can be classified into Royal, Noble, Gentry, Merchant, Common, and Slave. There are three Royal Bones, three Noble Bones, three Gentry Bones, four Merchant Bones, two Common Bones, and two Slave Bones. Intermarriage between Bones of the same caliber is allowed. Intermarriage of Bones of different calibers is allowed only when they are of subsequent Bones. The highest rank Merchant Bone can marry the lowest rank Gentry Bone. Children take their Bones from the Bone of their highest parent. A person's profession determines their Rank. There are 12 Ranks, with 12th Rank being the Emperor and 1st Rank being slaves. Rank is increasingly becoming a stronger marker of social status among the non-Yangban Bones. Yangban Bones are defined as those belonging to Royal and Noble Bones.
Religion: Korean Buddhism and Christianity
Ethnicity: Korean
Main/Accepted Culture(s): Korean, Japanese, Russian, European
Other Cultures: Manchu, Chinese, Siberian Native
Military Info
Army: The army has been radically reformed in the past two decades. The 6,000 man Royal Army of yesteryear has been replaced by the 20,000 strong First Imperial Corps. The First Imperial Corps is composed of 2 divisions, the First and Second Divisions. The soldiers of the First Imperial Corps are relatively well-equipped. Officers are sent to Germany, France, Japan, Britain, Russia, and the Americas to learn military tactics. This does lead to some differences of opinion in the role of the army. In addition to the First Imperial Corps, there is the Third Division that in wartime is attached to the Corps. The Third Division is unlike the Corps in that its soldiers do not serve for long enlistments. Instead, soldiers are cycled through on six month enlistments. They are then added to the reservist lists and discharged. This way the Great Korean Empire has a large body of somewhat trained soldiers to draw on. In the event of a mobilization, it is estimated that 180,000 reservists could be activated.
Navy: The navy is limited to smaller vessels of decent quality. The Court of the Right acknowledges that to engage the great fleets in the Pacific would be suicide. Instead the navy has two goals. First and foremost, it performs anti-piracy measures. Second, it serves as an irregular force designed to target enemy commerce. Korean Naval strategy could be described as part of the French Jeune École. The Imperial flagship is nothing more than a protected cruiser. The vast majority of the ships are small corvettes and torpedo boats.
Other Info
Brief Description of your Economy: The Great Korean Empire still finds the majority of its citizens employed in agriculture. The Empire has steadily been increasing both acreage of land under cultivation and the yields of said acres. Hanseong has become an industrial and commercial hub. The vast resources of the northern reaches of the Empire have fed the fires of industry. While the south remains primarily an agricultural society with commercial inclinations, the north has experienced explosive industrial and mining growth. Coal, iron, and other minerals flow from the mines to the forges.
Goals: Annex Manchuria
History: TBD upon discussion with relevant regional majors. In summary, I am aiming for Korea to have broken free from China somewhat earlier than expected. Even before then, the Kingdom will have started on a process of westernization and reformation decades before Gwangwu. After becoming an Empire free of China, Korea will play a delicate balancing act between Japan, Russia, China, and Britain. It will successfully play them off each other to not just maintain independence but also industrialize and reform the nation.

I'm not particularly well versed in Chinese history so: @Krug is your best best. I imagine it was an oversight, and Yunnan is its own independent clique/rebellion/disloyal warlord, etc.

I know this sounds like a meme, but I was thinking of being the Kingdom of Sarawak, which was a British protectorate at this time but as per its treaty with the U.K., had full control of its internal affairs. That does sound like a waste of a player, though, so if you want, I would consider applying for a Chinese warlord/clique/rebellion as well. Both are things I've been wanting to RP in this time era for a while. (After my sickness passes, of course.)

Unfortunately you are quite correct that the Kingdom of Sarawak would be a bit of a wasted player. Our Britain player informs me -- given your sole focus on internal affairs -- you'd likely get bored of building stuff and shooting Dayaks
I would prefer a Chinese rebellion, in truth.

Towards the end of Alexander's reign, since in this timeline he survived the assassination attempt and lived until 1886.
Russia doesn't really care about absolutism in other countries; the Romanovs have been pursuing reform so as to undermine revolutionaries (i.e., a political necessity), not because they *want* full constitutional monarchy. If anything, being absolutist is something of a plus.
No I wouldn't mind that at all. How old is Demetrios?
