So our territorial overlap is to be settled in Russia's favour, despite the fact that I've reserved it earlier?
If that is to be the case then I will need to make significant changes to my application.

I will take my chances.
There would be less support from native Russians than you might expect. As I've stated in my application, wartime pressure has pushed most of them to pack up and leave. There's a reason I didn't list Russian as a significant minority language.

Government Explanation: Total power is invested in the President as part of a unitary government. There is no legislative branch as the President directly decides the policies of the country to be carried out by the various departments. While there is a judicial branch, it is usually subservient to the President's wishes, but otherwise operates normally. Aside from that, the government structure is still very similar to the modern day government structure of the Philippines, which was modified to be the basis of this RP nation's government. Mayors rule towns and cities, which are part of provinces ruled by provincial governors. Provinces form part of regions, which are ruled by regional governors who report directly to the President. Various government departments, managed by Secretaries who report directly to the President, manage the administration of the country.

In terms of the actual land territory, the Commonwealth doesn't really want anything beyond Finland's 1920 borders (which would include some parts of Karelia, but certainly not all). There's, what, some forests, some industry in Murmansk that haven't been modernised since the 2030s, a little bit of oil up in Kola, eh.
The main reasons the Commonwealth is reluctant about giving up this land are two. They both boil down to "the Commonwealth has no trust in Russia's upstart imperial government and would really like to hold onto any advantage it has."
First, Murmansk and Arkhangelsk are Russia's two largest ports on the Arctic Sea, and holding one will make Denmark/Greenland's highly extensive Arctic continental shelf claims a lot harder for Russia to dispute. There might not be a lot of oil in Kola, but there sure are a lot more in the Arctic Sea.
Second, the Commonwealth is aware that despite recent gains the Russian military remains strong, and would really like some distance between itself and Russian forces, preferably with a convenient geographical barrier like a Canal in between. There is genuine fear that accepting 1920 borders simply means Russia has to fight another war to restore 1991 or even push further.

NS Name: Plzen, R. C. of
RP Name: Nordic Commonwealth, the (sv: Nordiska samväldet; dk: Nordisk Samarbejdsorganisation); alternate English: Northern Commonwealth, the; informal: Norden; informal and incorrect, but popular: Scandinavia.
Capital: Although the Nordic Commonwealth formally maintains that the eight state capitals hold equal legal status, Copenhagen (dk: København) is the seat of the Nordic Council and Commonwealth government, and as such is the de-facto political capital.
Territory: The Nordic Commonwealth is a union of eight states. Of these, Denmark (including the Faroe Islands and Greenland), Sweden, Norway (including Svalbard and the Antarctic Territories), Iceland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia remain in their established 1991 borders. Finland exists in its restored 1920 Treaty of Tartu frontiers.
Population: 36.18 millions (of which Denmark 6.40, including Faroe Islands 0.05 and Greenland 0.05, Estonia 1.13, Finland 5.75, Iceland 0.39, Latvia 1.59, Lithuania 2.38, Norway 6.66, Sweden 11.88)
Type of Government: Devolutionary parliamentary democracy.
Government Explaination: The current regime of the Commonwealth is, first, devolutionary. The Commonwealth government largely oversees matters of foreign affairs, defence, regulatory standardisation, and large economic projects and is concerned only with those issues that affect multiple states. The states have control primarily over criminal law and social welfare, while social services and local infrastructure are mostly provided at the provincial and local level. It is also a parliamentary democracy: at each level of government - Commonwealth, state, provincial, and local - the executive in whatever form it takes is subservient to a parliamentary legislature elected under universal suffrage of the citizenry. At the Commonwealth level, sovereignty resides in and only in the 301-member Nordic Council (sv: Nordiska rådet), elections to which are held every five years under proportional representation with local members. In addition to their regular proportional representation, Åland, the Faroes, Greenland, and the Overseas citizenry each elect two non-voting members under a single transferable vote to advocate for their niche interests, bringing up the total chamber size to 309. Although three of the eight member states of the Commonwealth are monarchies, the monarchical traditions of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway are largely ceremonial and no longer exercise any real control over politics and governance at either the state or any other level.
Leader(s): Dag Rasmussen
Image(s) of Leader(s): Dag is a cheerful-looking old man that nonetheless looks surprisingly young and healthy in comparison to his actual age. His appearance is most notable for the impressive beard and poorly-kept silvery hair that he somehow still have not yet lost.
Party or Coalition in Power: The coalition that controls the Commonwealth government and Nordic Council, and has done so for a couple of decades, is the Alliance for Freedom and Democracy, which is a broad coalition consisting of liberal-conservative, liberal-progressive, social-democratic, and environmentalist parties.
Executive Title: Secretary-General of the Nordic Commonwealth, often simply Secretary-General
State Ideology: Corporatist social-liberalism.
State Language(s): The Commonwealth is a multilingual and multicultural society. The working languages of the Commonwealth government is Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian, which the Commonwealth government considers to be dialects of a single Scandinavian/North Germanic language. Finnish, Icelandic, Lithuanian, Latvian, and Estonian all have Commonwealth-wide recognition as national languages.
Other Language(s): Karelian, Faroese, the Sami dialects, and German have some degree of recognition as regional or ethnic languages in parts of the Commonwealth. Although without recognition and rapidly shrinking in number, there are also significant Arab, Turkish, Bosnian, Roma, Polish, Persian, and Serbo-Croatian speaking minorities.
Ethnicity Breakdown: Due to strong immigration from many and often multi-ethnic societies, as well as the Nordic Commonwealth being a multi-ethnic society with very non-distinct ethnic groups, it is very difficult to say with any precision how the ethnicity of the Nordic population breaks down. As a very rough measure, the historical ancestry of the modern Nordic population is very roughly ~45% North Germanic (Scandinavians), ~15% Uralic (e.g. Finns), ~10% Baltic, ~10% other European and European-offshoots (e.g. Caucasian Americans), ~10% Turkish, Iranian, Arabic, and other Middle Eastern and North African groups, and ~10% everything else.
Religion Breakdown: Some 51% are registered as some variant of Protestant Christian, 4% as other variants of Christian, 13% as Muslim, 2% as belonging to another organised religion, and the other 30% as atheist, nonreligious, or spiritual but not belonging to an organised religion. Even among those responding as belonging to an organised religion, religion and faith is generally not a very prominent feature of daily life in the Commonwealth, despite the fact that several of the state governments that form the Council and Commonwealth have official state religions.
Flag: The flag of the Nordic Commonwealth is a plain and stylised white swan symbol, with its wings representated with eight bars, inscribed in a white arc against a bright blue background.
National Anthem: None at the Commonwealth level; each member state retains their own national symbols
National Motto: None at the Commonwealth level; each member state retains their own national symbols
Demonym: Nordbo, to which there is no English translation.
Map Color: Light grayish blue
Public Goals: Nordic leadership is fairly conservative in their outlook. The Commonwealth seeks to defend the economic prosperity, internal security, and political freedoms that they have successfully maintained through the turbulence and chaos of the past few decades, and ensure that the international disputes that have been settled in their favour remain settled in their favour. There is, however, growing albeit still small calls to fix the increasingly evident problems brought about by the relentless march of disruptive technologies.
Private Goals: As an open democracy, Norden's private goals are its public ones.
Military name: Commonwealth Armed Forces (sv: Samväldets försvarsmakten)
Military branches: Army (sv: Armén), Navy (sv: Marinen), Air Force (sv: Flygvapnet).
Total military size: Paper strength of about 157,000 active and 44,000 non-active personnel, totalling to about 0.56% of population.
Breakdown of ground force(s): Paper strength of 81,500 regular personnel, 27,000 reserve personnel.
Breakdown of naval force(s): Paper strength of 33,250 regular naval personnel, 12,900 auxiliary and reserve personnel, 8,300 marine personnel; maintains an operational force of about 80 commissioned ships and 150~200 aircraft.
Breakdown of air force(s): Paper strength of 33,850 active personnel, 4,100 auxiliary and reserve personnel; maintains an operational force of about 800 aircraft.
Breakdown of other branch(es): None applicable; special forces are folded under the Army or Navy.
Extra military information: The Commonwealth Armed Forces, much like almost anything else the Commonwealth does, is deceptively small for its true strength and influence. Since the crisis of the 2020s and 2030s, during which the Nordic states faced extreme security threads, the Commonwealth and its predecessors have made an almost nothing-held-back approach to the race towards the most advanced equipment, most versatile training, and the most thought-out military doctrines to build armed forces that can punch above its weight. This is reflected in the Commonwealth's relatively elevated military budget, which in the last decade or so have held steady at around 800 billion kroner per year, or roughly 5.7% of GDP - an expense of over four million kroner per year per soldier in uniform.
GDP: 14,115 billion kroner; in dollars, this is 1,939 (bn 1990 Int'll$) price and inflation adjusted, or 2,757 (bn 1990 US$) inflation-adjusted market exchange rate, of which 66.2% Services, 31.6% Industry and Construction, and 2.2% Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing
GDP per Capita: 390,100 kroner; in dollars, this is 53,580 (1990 Int'll$) price and inflation adjusted, or 76,200 (1990 US$) inflation-adjusted market exchange rate.
Currency: Nordic crown (sv: krona/kronor, da/no: krone/kroner), abbreviated "kr".
Currency and value of currency compared to USD: By purchasing power, kr. 7.28 to the 1990 US$ (or 3.79 to the 2018 US$). By market exchange rate to successor currencies, kr. 2.00~2.50 to what the USD used to trade for.
Major Domestic Issues: Although the general consensus in Nordic political discourse is that things are going remarkably well, with the successful maintenance of a free democracy and a booming economy, the cracks have long since deepened into crevasses under the surface. Despite a generous social security system, economic inequality and angry resentment caused by the same are high and rising, a situation that is not helped by utterly unprecedented unemployment levels and ever-stronger corporate and financial interests making inroads into every aspect of Nordic public life. A rampant consumerist culture and digitalisation of society has crippled traditional relationships and social systems, leading to a national mental health crisis and ever-higher levels of suicide and isolation. The very concept of reality has been thrown into doubt as voice synthesis and ever more advanced video editing techniques flood the internet with fake, but very difficult to distinguish from real, information. Since unemployment is not about to go away, and neither is consumerist culture or information technology, there is in some parts of society a fierce struggle to adapt the antiquated institutions of Nordic civil society and politics which haven't changed fundamentally since the 1950s, to the new realities of a much-changed world a hundred years of progress later.
Major Foreign Issues: Due to the instability in its neighbours, the Commonwealth has acquired a great deal of foreign policy achievements over the past few decades, such as exploitation rights over vast swathes of the Arctic Sea, a region of formerly Russian territory, and the status of Copenhagen and Stockholm as quasi-neutral conference cities. Even the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund is, after a period of heavy losses, back to earning a small profit. These gains, however, are increasingly under threat from resurgent and aggressive foreign states. The Commonwealth Foreign Affairs is doing the best it can to hold its ground on the excellent diplomatic position the Commonwealth has acquired. The Commonwealth is, furthermore, much concerned with various interests that can only be achieved through collective action, such as the security of its financial markets and the creation of a real international plan for environmental protection and adaptation to climate change.
History: The 21st Century began in the north with gathering clouds. The European Union, that grand project that was the culmination of half a century's efforts, grew steadily less popular as accusations of power overreach mounted. Steadily declining social-democratic support and rising nationalist and anti-immigrant sentiments placed a firm end to the folkhemmet era. Although Nordic economic growth remained strong, various social costs from immigration and egalitarian policies began to take a strain in the regional culture. After the rapid slide of its larger southern neighbours into quasi-authoritarianism, first Hungary and Poland, then finally Germany in 2021, Sweden and Finland both called for national referenda questioning their continued membership in the European Union. Although both motions were defeated, the narrowness of the margin by which they were defeated raised both hopes and concerns.
The 2022 Swedish elections and 2023 Finnish elections demonstrated huge cleavages in both nations' politics, with no party or collection of parties earning anything close to a majority, and to most contemporary histographers these elections are generally seen as the beginning of the difficult so-called iron years (sv: järnåren). Denmark was able to scramble together a grand national coalition after their 2023 elections, holding the country together under some semblance of stability, but Swedish and Finnish government formations were locked in stalemate until forcibly resolved under not insignificant foreign duress. Neither the new liberal government in Sweden reluctantly tolerated by the social-democrats and conservatives, nor the red-green government in Finland had real parliamentary mandate or concrete popular support, and generally found themselves completely unable to take decisive action against any of the mounting social, economic, and diplomatic challenges against it in the next few years.
With the traditional western bloc breaking itself into two, Iceland initially attempted to maintain itself as a neutral power between the Anglo-American interests and the European Union, ending the leases on US bases on their soil but also steadfastly dragging their feet on any European requests towards their own military bases, whereas Norway with its long Swedish border found it to be within their interest to join the European Union. Although all the Nordic states with the exception of Iceland participated in the Central European War in favour of the European Union, none made significant dedications to the war. Sweden and Finland remained locked in political paralysis and in no condition to send forces abroad, while Denmark and Norway both held unified political fronts to somewhat guard their interests against demands from Brussels.
Their contribution towards the EU-Russian Conflict starting in 2025, however, was considerably more significant. With Sweden and Finland both having geared their military with anti-Russian operations in mind for decades, pre-determined military plans were enacted and pre-established chains of command established even in the complete absence of any political will on part of the government. The Swedish navy, in particular, played a leading role in the Second Battle of the Gulf of Finland in July 2025 that firmly established that it was the European navies, not the Russian one, that held the Baltic.
After two years of largely stalemated warfare on the Karelian front, with Nordic forces relatively unwilling to risk the casualties of a Baltic liberation and the Russians similarly unwilling to accept a ghastly push against the now fully mobilised Finnish Army, the Black Dawn of 2027 arrived. Denmark, Sweden, and Finland found their economies stressed by the ongoing demands of industrialised warfare and embargo from the UK and the United States tearing apart fragile networks of international trade. Norway, flush with money in a European market where its natural resources have never been sold for more, concluded that the collapse of its Scandinavian neighbours were decidedly against their interests and that, in order to preserve their relatively high autonomy from central European authorities, the European Union must not have any excuse to impose punitive measures on Denmark and Sweden. The 2028 Convention on Nordic Trade and Finance, known more commonly as the First Copenhagen Treaty, saw Norway agreeing to provide large loans at concessional terms to the other three mainland Nordic states to revitalise their economies. Although difficulties persisted for several more years still, the kind of general collapse that Norway feared was averted.
The Russo-European War, which had at least in the north calmed down somewhat after the initial Baltic battles of 2025, was reinvigorated by the German invasion of Kalinigrad in 2031. With most Russian forces tied in a general war across the North European Plain instead of focused on the Baltic region, the Swedish and Finnish militaries were afforded considerably higher freedom of action. Nonetheless, leadership in both Stockholm and Helsinki remained conservative, liberating the Estonian islands in spring 2033 but largely stalling on a general naval invasion across the Baltic Sea.
The mounting costs of the war, a collapsing global financial market, and the expiration of the 5-year provisions in the First Copenhagen Treaty saw Denmark, Sweden, and Finland all unable to meet their public fiscal obligations in 2033. The situation was quickly made worse by the European Union slowly severing Nordic access to central Union institutions which did, in the long run, contribute towards the increasing de facto independence of the Nordic region from the European Union but in the short run was a considerable trade difficulty. Realising by this point, due to the events of the past few years, the common interests of the Nordic states, the states agreed to empower Nordic international institutions that have largely been neglected since the 1950s, with first direct elections to the Nordic Council being held in 2035. Norwegian influence in these shared institutions were considerable, due to their considerable provision of resources. In time these institutions would form the core of what would eventually develop into the Nordic Commonwealth.
The wars were never officially concluded, but slowly drew down via a patchwork of ceasefires and armistices across both the Central European and Russian fronts. All four Nordic EU states expressed their intent to hold new referenda on withdrawal from the European Union in autumn-to-winter of 2035 to broad public support and, with the now war-torn Western Europe unable to put up much of a diplomatic resistance, was able to secede on relatively beneficial terms by early 2038. Two years later, with the collapse of the United Nations in 2040, the four Nordic states made formal their integration into a single Commonwealth entity. Not particularly impressed with either the Americans or war-torn western Europe, Iceland would join this Commonwealth in 2041, with the understanding that it would not be required to contribute to any wars that started before their date of ascension to the Commonwealth.
2041 saw the beginning of another Russian Civil War, and marked the end of the de-facto detente between the Nordic states and Russia that have been held through a patchwork of ceasefires and armistices. With Russian military forces now largely tied up in internal affairs, fighting resumed. The Finnish leadership became increasingly convinced that a permanent peace with Russia was only possible on the basis of a short border and natural barrier between the two states, and advocated for a demarcation line along the Neva and Svir Rivers. This would not, however, be militarily achieved until well into 2043, after the full collapse of centralised government in Russia pulled the remaining Russian forces along the border to resolve internal issues. A general armistice across the entire front would eventually be signed in the year after and, despite Finnish protests, the Commonwealth would agree on a permanent peace treaty, the 2045 Treaty of St. Petersburg, the following year. Under the terms of the provision, Commonwealth forces withdrew back to the 1920 Treaty of Tartu frontiers, which was to become the new international border, in exchange for Russia conceding its continental shelf claims over the Lomonosov Ridge and assuming the costs for the relocation of Russian citizens out of now Nordic territory.
Economic recovery in the 2040s and 2050s would be incredibly swift, at least in productivity terms, with Scandinavia possessing one of few industrial bases in Europe that has not been physically destroyed. Strong trade surpluses and export revenues alongside not insignificant investments made possible by a reallocation of funds from the global to Nordic section in the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund provided a capital basis on which the Nordic economy was able to take strong advantage of the various wartime technological and engineering advances developed or shared to it during the Central European and Russo-Nordic wars. This did not, however, result in a recovery of job numbers as many expected. With insight from a perennially manpower-starved military filtering down into industry and the services, automation expanded in leaps and bounds and unemployment, already depressingly high during the wars, skyrocketed even as national productivity recovers.
With a resurgent and revanchist Russia to its east and an increasingly belligerent Oceania to its west and drowned in a prosperity that never seems to reach their pockets, the Commonwealth's thirty six million people continue to wonder when things would be back to the "good old days..."

GDP per Capita: 35,000
Currency: Soviet Ruble
Currency and value of currency compared to USD: 100 Rubles to 1 USD (this for international dealings, however within the nations it is 1 Ruble to USD)
Major Domestic Issues: Religious Crackdown, Weakened Infrastructure, Rural Population
Major Foreign Issues: Russian "Tsardom", Whatever the hell is happening in Ukraine
History: The Communist Russian Party held an considerable amount of seats in Siberia prior to the split of Russia. It was rather popular for the various industrialization programs and welfare programs provided to Farmers. The Urban and Rural population were both content, even happy. However as the economy and world came tumbling down, Siberia grew disconnected with Mainland Russia, and so did the Russian Communist Party. Forming the "Red Vanguard" of 100,000 Men, they spent a month using the various railways. Their programs continued, and due to the lack of reliance of International Trade, and various reforms, purges, and seizing of land, the economy made a gradual return, and the one very poor farmers were now becoming Middle Class citizens! It took several years to resolve the agricultural issues, and then several more to resolve its industrial one. During this time, the Red Vanguard grew to 4,000,000 Men, primarily consisting of Refugees from the West and from China. This Vanguard began actively taking down Islamic Mosques, Christian Churches, and Jewish Synagogues whenever there. The Premier had directed the attack on the weak Kazakhstan with the Vanguard, which then split to form the Peoples Army afterwards. The nation shortly began to develop more, and even return profits as the world slowly stabilized. With refugees and immigration, and addition to Global Warming, Siberia is a fertile land which many welcome as a new frontier to settle, which they have. In 2051, the term "Russian" was no longer in use, rather "Siberian", following the formation of the Russian Tsardom.
Population Growth comes from Global Warming making the colder inner and northern regions somewhat more habitable, and some very fertile land. Plus the immigration to a rural country that would, presumably, be devoid of the consequences of the World, would attract millions. It did, and cause plenty of issues. However the various programs the Communists had done, specifically with seizing land and setting up various programs to expand farms, helped resolve these issues as time developed, and as time progressed the Country turned from a Rural Confederation to THE leading Russian nation, which it rejected due to the monarchy. No one likes the Tsar, or in this case the Tsarina.
And in regards to the large military, Siberia began mass producing previous designs of planes, and tanks, as well as seizing the arsenal (that was left from Russia after their attack on Alaska or whatever and the various internal conflicts) that was left from the civil wars and using them to their advantage. They should have a larger army than Western Russia (which should be able to replace losses in RP) but I doubt she would dare accept that, and I doubt she is going to take this in any realistic approach. In any case, we also claim the former Soviet Union land as our own, which y'all better look out
DENIED. Asian Russia (Siberian Federal District and Far Eastern Federal District) has been split into many countries and an unified country controlling this area is impossible, plus both Mongolia and Kazakhstan wants nothing to do with it.

Bad news, I denied that app now. But I can agree on that it is fun to have powerful neighbors. Don't worry, MLSP will find a new country to play as.
Oh no I do not care, its fine if anyone else is unrealistic but we gotta be smart about it now and fix it. I was just here to fuck up the dumb "Tsardom of Russia" because it makes no sense, but a USSR Siberia is a no no. You gave Imperial land that a person had apped for already, though you don't really seem to care about realism huh? In any case I wasn't interested last night when I made this, though the idea of a united Siberia was enticing, now you say you want it split apart. Which is weird, considering you want Siberia to be more destroyed than Siberia than Western Russia. The only nation I enjoyed doing, and one only one that I would have enjoyed doing was a Soviet Siberia. In any case you can continue to degrade the quality of the roleplay, if that is your prerogative, however I do not think many will decide to stay. In any case, this will probably be the last time I peep this, unless some one tells me I received a spicy reply. Too bad I couldn't self insert myself like Imperial did, shame.

I think with that attitude it’s best if you just leave this role play alone. Flame baiting isn’t cool, man.
