As for combat aircraft, the MiG-55B, which is the VTOL version of the fighter and Su-61B, which is the VTOL version of our attack aircraft. The MiG-55B sells at 150 million USD each and the Su-61B sells at 135 Million USD each.
Nice, I like that. For the trade i'll proceed that we will import those metals and electric engines. You can RP whatever things you want to import if you want. Rare metals or what kind of metals tho?
Nusantara will also buy 8x MiG-55B & 16x Su-61B along with pilot training and spare parts. So $1.2 Billion (MiG) + $2.16 Billion (Su-61B) + spare part package ($?). Accounting for the inflation I believe it would be appropriate for the current military budget.

AWoNB Nation’s History: Zhang he’s expedition in 1421 lead him to the land beyond the great pacific ocean, a virgin land untouched by civilization. Zhang he claimed the land under the Ming dynasty and called it fusang, When Zhang he returned to nanjing, and told his stories to the emperor. He was thrilled, and sent more expedition into the new world. Their first settlement was located in the baja california peninsula, as the years gone by the chinese colony had control over northern mexico, and expeditions to the south lead to the discovery of the Aztec confederacy.
The chinese had good relations with the aztec, but their kingdom were soon wiped out from the map by chinese troops. However the aztec people, weren’t forced to convert to buddhism or confucianism by the chinese unlike how the spanish did. The aztec religion soon fell into irrelevancy after less and less people converted to buddhism or confucianism. The former Aztec city of Tenochtitlan was made as the colonial capital of Fusang and renamed as Daijian, During this age a lot of chinese, and southeast asian settlers began racing towards fusang to start a new life there. The colony was discovered by the europeans when spanish ships containing settlers of the new world were surprised to see that the far eastern chinese had land in the new world. Spanish, english, and french merchants frequently traded with fusang due to it being closer to europe, and having the same resources as their trade partners.
Fusang gained it’s independence after the fall of the ming dynasty, which it also experienced a surge of population, after many fled china to escape the conflicts that broke the ming dynasty, After independence fusang maintained good relations with the british without the Ming to prohibit them from trading with them. Fusang had sided with the british during the seven years war, being that the british were their largest trading partner. Fusang and the british were victorious against the french and the spaniards, after the war Fusang gained war reparations used to improve Fusang’s military , and Territories in central america. During the american revolution Fusang was mostly neutral, Fusang was also neutral during the civil war. Like itks northern counterpart Fusang’s economy grew and grew. With most of their money invested towards infrastructure, and towards the people, seeing the consequences of many chinese dynasties before who had become vain and lost their mandate of heaven. Fusang became an economic powerhouse during the new milennium, and had good relations with the US. During the second US civil war, Fusang sided with the Union, even though they were ideologically different with fusang leaning towards the left. Fusang gained the territory of southern california, New mexico, and Arizona from the US.

AWoNB Nation: Kongo Empire
Territory Claimed: Gabon,Both congos (Congo-Brazzaville and Congo-Kinshasa), CAR, Equ. Guinea, Rwanda, Burundi, parts of Francophone Cameroon)
Population:
~152,419,755 (give or take b/c immigration and etc. Also, I added up all my territories' populations up, though I think they should be way higher. This is Africa we're talking about. They'd have high birthrates and etc)
Religious Demographics: The Kongo is a majority-Pagan state. It's not fully Pagan since Islam (Sufism) is represented. "Paganism" was either mythos or things that weren't the three main Abrahamic religions. Ancestral Worship and Zoroastrianism have been on the decline for years, now, as some 'enlightenment' took place essentially nullifying the practices (since its practitioners then found no reason to practice)
85% "Pagan," 15% Sufi Islamic (All non-trifecta religions being counted as 'pagan' in this case.)
Ethnic Demographics:
The Kongo are ethnically-diverse, due to widespread state-sponsored immigration. It's safe to say that the Empire's a mixed-race/mutt state. One could say it does give-out Citizenship willy-nilly (though it does vet those it thinks are suspicious, like Arabs and certain religious groups.)

Information on Other Military Branches: Historically, as-well-as presently, the Kongo emphasized Landpower, being able to send its forces far away to conquer or explore new lands. This makes sense, since the Kongo was always Expansionist (it only 'recently' became Imperialist, but it took advantage of its resources since Barter. Navy's trying, with the gov't throwing spare monies at it, but the airforce only lacks in recent jets/aircraft. Technologically, the Kongo are very-well off.
Strength of Economy: (Out of 10)
Stability of Government: (Out of 10)
AWoNB Nation’s History:
First flag is the main/official/national flag but the second and third are also flown. The first two are very minimalistic, while the third and last takes inspiration from both the flags of the United States and Liberia. The Kongo is thought to be the first with a "red X" on its flag, with Alabama, Georgia, Spain and others copying. (NATO also copying the first flag's design, also to the dismay of the Emperor of Kongo)
The first flag is characterized/described as "an off-white canvas with a bright-red compass." The flag has been Kongo's flag since antiquity, and has even survived numerous tries to change it.
The Kongo Empire is a centroafrican country. It was formerly known as the "Kingdom of Kongo," though renamed since one of the rulers thought Kongo was more fitting as an "empire" and not a "kingdom," since "kingdoms" were often small. "Kongo" is also spelt w/ a "k" instead of a "C," like "Congo."
Ideologically, Kongo is imperialist, expansionist and classist, but also a senate/council state or Oligarchy, Kongo has been socially-conservative, though is fighting social-progressivism and social-liberalism. Kongo has fought hard to leave behind/forgo its tribal past, though. Kongo is classist, since its gov't is split-up into several classes (not to be confused w/ Federalism or the Caste system or Aristocracy)
Kongo is egalitarian (culturally, politically and socially), having both female and male leaders in the past.
The Kongo Empire has fought to preserve its old cultural ways, and even the new ideologies of Pan-Africanism, Pan-Arabism and so on, preferring the status-quo or its old history over the new. It's also fought colonizers and other peoples that wish to change Kongo or infringe on it whatsoever, like Islam, Judaism and even Christianity (some Christian spreaders/pilgrims that went to the Kongo to "enlighten the Africans in the good name of Jesus Christ") though there are some Muslims (though they're Sufi.)
The Kongo is "Pagan" culturally/religiously, with Animism, Fetishism, Matriarch Worship and others being worshipped/practiced but also some elements of Greco-Roman Mythology and other Mythologies. Sufi Islam has caught on, in some places. Voodoo/Hoodoo, Church of Satan and Satanism are practiced in some places, and some weird cults do turn-up (like one based on a squid god, and another based on an eagle god)
Kongo is currently fighting Warlords, terrorists, and other rebels or miscreants that violently challenge the status-quo or the "peace in the Kongo." Politically/ideologically, the Kongo can be described as an "Enlightened Dictatorship" or "Despotic/Authoritarian/Autocratic/Dictatorial" and so on, since leaders aren't elected, or inheriting power. Leaders in the Kongo are handpicked or chosen from word-of-mouth from other members of the "Leading Class."
Kongo is a dictatorship, but technically an Anocracy, since its people fare significantly well than what's expected from a dictatorship. (it could be compared to Longism, since Huey P. Long was a "dictator" but didn't do an Assad or Gaddafi)
Linguistically, Kongo is diverse.
- Arabic
- Esperanto
- Swahili
- English (though somewhat-broken or a Creole/pigeon-tongue)
- African clicking language(s)
- Centroafrican and Southafrican languages
- Spanish (due to some encounters/interactions w/ the Spanish)
Esperanto and Swahili are the govt's lingua-franca, as the gov't uses those two languages to try to linguistically unite every Kongolian (the denonym is either "Kongo" or "Kongolian," though also "Kongolic" and "Kongolese") but they've also made efforts to perfect English and even be the first African Majority-Anglophone country (essentially like how some irl countries are better at speaking English than others that actually speak English, or have more Anglophones)
Technologically, Kongo has been trying to stay at the forefront/cutting-edge.
Historically, Kongo was very tribal and primitive, bloodthirsty and isolationist, attacking literally any foreigner or tribe that suddenly appeared. The Kingdom of Kongo brutally expelled foreigners (mainly Europeans) and even fought back, during the Slave Trades.
Since the Kongo is oligarchic, the title of "Emperor" goes to the head senator/councilman. The head councilman is Ava Tallison. (making her the Empress)
Ava Tallison biography
Some think it's odd that a "very white" girl got into power, but also note that in the Kongo's recent history, alot of "whites" or European-descended people moved to the Kongo for various reasons. Ava and her family is a part of that.
She worked very hard, climbing the Kongolian system and even the "Leading Class," eventually gaining her way to the role/position of Head Councilman or Emperor. Since the Kongo's politics are very status-quo and conservative, she does spout conservative rhetoric, though is actually a Progressive. She is secretly trying to introduce Progressivism to the Empire.
Likes: Swimming (and water in-gen, but not drinking it), Soccer, dresses, eating (she's a foodie), cycling, watching TV, watching videos, the Internet, movies, running, music (R&B, Pop and Jazz in-gen, those're her favorite/most-listened to genres), cheese, popcorn, sausages, pizza, sugar and sugary stuff, carrots, Nostalgia, Halloween and wearing masks/costumes, the color White, pearls, ivory, African Savannah and African Wildlife (she loves cheetahs and elephants)
Hates: Reading, Monologues/Filibustering, Romcoms (romantic comedies), people yelling (in her ear or at her), drinking water (she's more of a soda fan), misogyny and anything anti-female, British accents, being bored (often, she'll try to make herself busy), Economics, Feminist Theory (being subjugated to it in College), censorship (she's very pro-free speech), monotone and screechy voices, dogs (she's more of a cat-person), Polarized politics, manners, table manners, and etiquette (she's unladylike and a messy eater. She burps and etc alot, but pretty-much everywhere else if you were interacting to her, she'd be girly),
Neutral: "Paganism," Sufism, Religion in-gen (she's agnostic), Kongo Nationalism, Football/Rugby, Fishing, Hunting, Cooking, Immigration and changing demographics in Kongo, Nudism and Prudism (respectively, she has no real, firm stances on either), chivalry, courting, biking, Environmentalism, Climatism, The right-left political dynamic (she doesn't really care about it, and wouldn't describe herself as either rightwing or leftwing.),
Hobbies: Eating/visiting restaurants, sports, playing instruments (either horned or woodwind, she can play strung/stringed, but she doesn't care for them personally), entertainment, horseback riding and boating

It's also fought colonizers and other peoples that wish to change Kongo or infringe on it whatsoever, like Islam, Judaism and even Christianity (some Christian spreaders/pilgrims that went to the Kongo to "enlighten the Africans in the good name of Jesus Christ") though there are some Muslims (though they're Sufi.)
The Kongo is "Pagan" culturally/religiously, with Animism, Fetishism, Matriarch Worship and others being worshipped/practiced but also some elements of Greco-Roman Mythology and other Mythologies. Sufi Islam has caught on, in some places. Voodoo/Hoodoo, Church of Satan and Satanism are practiced in some places, and some weird cults do turn-up (like one based on a squid god, and another based on an eagle god)
Kongo is currently fighting Warlords, terrorists, and other rebels or miscreants that violently challenge the status-quo or the "peace in the Kongo." Politically/ideologically, the Kongo can be described as an "Enlightened Dictatorship" or "Despotic/Authoritarian/Autocratic/Dictatorial" and so on, since leaders aren't elected, or inheriting power. Leaders in the Kongo are handpicked or chosen from word-of-mouth from other members of the "Leading Class."
Kongo is a dictatorship, but technically an Anocracy, since its people fare significantly well than what's expected from a dictatorship. (it could be compared to Longism, since Huey P. Long was a "dictator" but didn't do an Assad or Gaddafi)
Linguistically, Kongo is diverse.
- Arabic
- Esperanto
- Swahili
- English (though somewhat-broken or a Creole/pigeon-tongue)
- African clicking language(s)
- Centroafrican and Southafrican languages
- Spanish (due to some encounters/interactions w/ the Spanish)
Esperanto and Swahili are the govt's lingua-franca, as the gov't uses those two languages to try to linguistically unite every Kongolian (the denonym is either "Kongo" or "Kongolian," though also "Kongolic" and "Kongolese") but they've also made efforts to perfect English and even be the first African Majority-Anglophone country (essentially like how some irl countries are better at speaking English than others that actually speak English, or have more Anglophones)
Technologically, Kongo has been trying to stay at the forefront/cutting-edge.
Historically, Kongo was very tribal and primitive, bloodthirsty and isolationist, attacking literally any foreigner or tribe that suddenly appeared. The Kingdom of Kongo brutally expelled foreigners (mainly Europeans) and even fought back, during the Slave Trades.
Since the Kongo is oligarchic, the title of "Emperor" goes to the head senator/councilman. The head councilman is Ava Tallison. (making her the Empress)
Ava Tallison biography
Some think it's odd that a "very white" girl got into power, but also note that in the Kongo's recent history, alot of "whites" or European-descended people moved to the Kongo for various reasons. Ava and her family is a part of that.
She worked very hard, climbing the Kongolian system and even the "Leading Class," eventually gaining her way to the role/position of Head Councilman or Emperor. Since the Kongo's politics are very status-quo and conservative, she does spout conservative rhetoric, though is actually a Progressive. She is secretly trying to introduce Progressivism to the Empire.
Likes: Swimming (and water in-gen, but not drinking it), Soccer, dresses, eating (she's a foodie), cycling, watching TV, watching videos, the Internet, movies, running, music (R&B, Pop and Jazz in-gen, those're her favorite/most-listened to genres), cheese, popcorn, sausages, pizza, sugar and sugary stuff, carrots, Nostalgia, Halloween and wearing masks/costumes, the color White, pearls, ivory, African Savannah and African Wildlife (she loves cheetahs and elephants)
Hates: Reading, Monologues/Filibustering, Romcoms (romantic comedies), people yelling (in her ear or at her), drinking water (she's more of a soda fan), misogyny and anything anti-female, British accents, being bored (often, she'll try to make herself busy), Economics, Feminist Theory (being subjugated to it in College), censorship (she's very pro-free speech), monotone and screechy voices, dogs (she's more of a cat-person), Polarized politics, manners, table manners, and etiquette (she's unladylike and a messy eater. She burps and etc alot, but pretty-much everywhere else if you were interacting to her, she'd be girly),
Neutral: "Paganism," Sufism, Religion in-gen (she's agnostic), Kongo Nationalism, Football/Rugby, Fishing, Hunting, Cooking, Immigration and changing demographics in Kongo, Nudism and Prudism (respectively, she has no real, firm stances on either), chivalry, courting, biking, Environmentalism, Climatism, The right-left political dynamic (she doesn't really care about it, and wouldn't describe herself as either rightwing or leftwing.),
Hobbies: Eating/visiting restaurants, sports, playing instruments (either horned or woodwind, she can play strung/stringed, but she doesn't care for them personally), entertainment, horseback riding and boating

AWoNB Nation: Kongo Empire
Territory Claimed: Gabon,Both congos (Congo-Brazzaville and Congo-Kinshasa), CAR, Equ. Guinea, Rwanda, Burundi, parts of Francophone Cameroon)
Population:
~152,419,755 (give or take b/c immigration and etc. Also, I added up all my territories' populations up, though I think they should be way higher. This is Africa we're talking about. They'd have high birthrates and etc)
Religious Demographics: The Kongo is a majority-Pagan state. It's not fully Pagan since Islam (Sufism) is represented. "Paganism" was either mythos or things that weren't the three main Abrahamic religions. Ancestral Worship and Zoroastrianism have been on the decline for years, now, as some 'enlightenment' took place essentially nullifying the practices (since its practitioners then found no reason to practice)
85% "Pagan," 15% Sufi Islamic (All non-trifecta religions being counted as 'pagan' in this case.)
Ethnic Demographics:
The Kongo are ethnically-diverse, due to widespread state-sponsored immigration. It's safe to say that the Empire's a mixed-race/mutt state. One could say it does give-out Citizenship willy-nilly (though it does vet those it thinks are suspicious, like Arabs and certain religious groups.)

Information on Other Military Branches: Historically, as-well-as presently, the Kongo emphasized Landpower, being able to send its forces far away to conquer or explore new lands. This makes sense, since the Kongo was always Expansionist (it only 'recently' became Imperialist, but it took advantage of its resources since Barter. Navy's trying, with the gov't throwing spare monies at it, but the airforce only lacks in recent jets/aircraft. Technologically, the Kongo are very-well off.

AWoNB Nation’s History:
First flag is the main/official/national flag but the second and third are also flown. The first two are very minimalistic, while the third and last takes inspiration from both the flags of the United States and Liberia. The Kongo is thought to be the first with a "red X" on its flag, with Alabama, Georgia, Spain and others copying. (NATO also copying the first flag's design, also to the dismay of the Emperor of Kongo)
The first flag is characterized/described as "an off-white canvas with a bright-red compass." The flag has been Kongo's flag since antiquity, and has even survived numerous tries to change it.
The Kongo Empire is a centroafrican country. It was formerly known as the "Kingdom of Kongo," though renamed since one of the rulers thought Kongo was more fitting as an "empire" and not a "kingdom," since "kingdoms" were often small. "Kongo" is also spelt w/ a "k" instead of a "C," like "Congo."
Ideologically, Kongo is imperialist, expansionist and classist, but also a senate/council state or Oligarchy, Kongo has been socially-conservative, though is fighting social-progressivism and social-liberalism. Kongo has fought hard to leave behind/forgo its tribal past, though. Kongo is classist, since its gov't is split-up into several classes (not to be confused w/ Federalism or the Caste system or Aristocracy)
Kongo is egalitarian (culturally, politically and socially), having both female and male leaders in the past.

Since I am a Co OP now, I agree with the OP that your app looks very well made but you didn't rate your strength of economy or stability of government. If you fix those two then you should be good.
