[Vyzantinis]

[ENLIGHTENMENT - For Tracking]
NS Name: Vyzantinis
Nation: The Gurkani Sultanate | The Gūrkāniyān | گورکانیان
Location: Here)
Population: 53,000,000
Capital: Lahore
Other Important Cities: Kabul, Delhi

Government Explanation: Absolute Unitary Monarchy
Leader: Emperor Akbar the Great | Shahanshāh Akbar-i-Azam
Other Gov. Info: The Gurkani Sultanate is a cosmopolitan absolute monarchy, with the Shahanshah on top of everything. All power is derived from him, given to nobles who in turn have the ability to give lesser powers to their subordinates. The central government is strong and tolerant, ensuring the right to religious freedom for all. Persian is the court language, however Afghan and various Indic languages are spoken in local areas.

Economic Explanation: The Gurkani are very reliant on taxation and trade. To ensure stability, domestic economic operations such as farming are directed by the state, with land-owning nobles encouraged to reach yearly targets of food produce that exceed requirement, with additional grain stored in case of famine. Trade routes are heavily guarded, and domestic merchants are granted assistance by the state. In times of need, expeditionary forces are sent to pillage neighbouring kingdoms in Nepal, Afghanistan, Hindustan and Gujarat.
Infrastructure Explanation: The Gurkani have inherited much of their infrastructure from previous owners. A basic road network connects the major cities of Lahore, Delhi and Kabul, and its towns and cities on or nearby this road network that most economic activity is performed along. Roads built by the Delhi Sultanate ensure that upon future conquests, the two extreme ends of the Empire will be linked. Shahanshah Akbar-i-Azam is drafting plans to build a new, extensive road network across the empire, to encourage economic development in minor cities in the south of the country.
Foreign Relations: The Gurkani have hostile relations with much of India, especially the [Delhi Sultanate, or successor state(s)]. Border skirmishes with the neighbouring kingdoms of Gujarat and Kashmir have all but ensured war will break out soon. The Gurkani do however have positive relations with Persian and Turkic polities in Central Asia and Persia. The Gurkani Sultanate has the ultimate ambition of uniting South Asia and beyond, and for that reason it has no intention to enter into positive diplomatic relations with any other polity that lays claim to a significant part of India.
(Note: I don't want to write too much about foreign relations as it stands, I'd rather have more people signup and add more from there).

Military Size: Standing army of 13-15,00 (3-5,000 Ahadis, 10,000~ standing troops in Kabul, Lahore and Delhi). Can raise armies upwards of 100,000 within six months from the nobility and Terkea.
Land Force Breakdown: The Gurkani maintain a small standing army that answers directly to the emperor, known as the Ahadis. The Ahadis are an elite cavalry unit numbering around 3-5,000. In Kabul, Lahore and Delhi, there are also standing armies that answer directly to the governor but are separate from his own troops. The majority of military forces raised by the Gurkani are soldiers raised by nobles. A unique nobility class called the Terkea, made up of Turkic immigrants also supplement the Gurkani, and because of this they aren't required to train as many Indians in cavalry warfare.
Naval Force Breakdown: As the Gurkani are a landlocked country, they have no navy.

Question:
Is the new world the same as it is to our timeline or not?
(If a picked great brittain well she have all of her new world colonies? If yes then please reserve great brittain)




If no:
(Can i reserve prussia?)

This is a Sandbox RP, the point being that you’d get to make your own nation and history within Reason to the establish lore so far. If you want to do a normal UK, feel free to, however the territory of Prussia has been reserved by Saxony played by Military Lands of the Scottish People, so unfortunately for the time being you won’t be able to control all of Prussia’s territory.

reserve the UK then!

Government Explanation: Despotic Monarchy

Leader: King Philip V

Other Gov. Info: The United Kingdom is a despotic unitary monarchy with the King of Spain representing the Spanish State in common, and also acts as the regional representative and a symbol of unity of different regions, such as Castille, Leon, Galicia, Andalusia, and others. The Spanish state is centered primarily at the King's role as God's representative over the people, as recognized in the divine right of kings, and of the combination of religion (the Catholic Church) and state into one single entity.

Economic Explanation: The United Kingdom relies heavily on trade, and Spain controls about a quarter of the world's spice trade inflow and a tenth of the world's known gold supplies. Due to this crucial fact as the backbone of Spanish economy and a strong maritime tradition, the United Kingdom has one of, if not already the largest, fleet of traders and galleons in the world. The Spanish maintains their tight grip on economic production by assisting and giving autonomy to the local states governed by the United Kingdom.
Infrastructure Explanation: The United Kingdom prioritises building infrastructure across its many colonies and the mainland as a main bulwark of national development. Castillia itself is one of the most developed patchwork of territory in the entire world, the Spanish government having spent a fifth of the country's wealth income on the mainlamd's betterness. The country is a myriad of hard-paved postal roads, fortified castles and strongholds at every border, and also a general better housing and infrastructure than its neighbours, European or not. Development in the Spanish Morocco has also seen a high acceleration rate, albeit with a different angle as Morocco is excluded from the Spanish Inquisition, and local nobles retain high autonomy there. The realm had also focused their infrastructure projects on religious matters; monasteries and churches dotted the mainland landscape, standing great in nearly every village. The realm.is sometimes dubbed 'Kingdom of Heaven' because of this, and no small thanks to the beauty of the land nonetheless. The Spanish also maintained good infrastructure on its colonies also, with a myriad of fortifications and administration buildings to better estabilish Spanish presence in the colonies.
Foreign Relations: Spain maintains a tight but close relation to both its immediate neighbours, Aragón and Portugal. Dynastic ties and marriages are very common; the three Iberian states are virtually ruled by a single royal house by this moment. Spain maintained a tight grip on the free remains of Morocco, and its economic influx is controlled by the realm to the utmost. Overall, Spain developed a tight and competitive relationship to all its European colonial competitors, and also the free nations that sprung from Spanish colonial remains, that being Mexico, Venezuela, La Plata, and Chile as examples.

Reserve the remainder of France, Catalonia, Savoy and Milan as my mainland and the entire Congo Basin, Hong Kong, a strip of East India/Bangladesh on the coast and the eastern part of Canada as colonies?

That is one very large mainland up there... I plan on Catalonia to have an Iberian Wedding event again. Do please split up, would you?

(And considering that, you'd have a hard time sorting up history because any incursions to Iberia wouldn't have gone unnoticed by me. Do you have a discord? We can sort our history together.)

He does make a good point, this empire would have Spanish, French, Italians, Swiss, and Spanish people all in one state. I’d say pick either France and Aragon or France Italy but all of them is a little much, give yourself something to do ICly as well.

Um..no. That would greatly mess up my history which us based IRL-ly and Spain never lost a huge chunk of land to France (except Napoleon ofc). As I said before, and its on my WIP app also, Spain had a tense-close relationship with the Crown of Aragón and there will be a serious, very serious event that required all of Iberia (and its allies) against France for Catalonia to be annexed (and it would very likely diminish half your mainland population)
