1890: Alternative Divergence [AH][OOC-DEAD]

[Empire of Techkotal]

Yeah I would say so. We can justify it bith in terms of power and alternate history. And on the other side we already have two new powers in Germany so it isn't that bad. We have only to wait for Thrace. You might wanna join the Discord.

[Empire of Techkotal]

You know as my history starts in the 11th century we could actually go with a sort of Austria Prussia relation. Like I once had many territory's, but you conquered them. This way you could even justify the Prussian military vibe of your nation.

[Arvenia]

Yeah I would say so. We can justify it bith in terms of power and alternate history. And on the other side we already have two new powers in Germany so it isn't that bad. We have only to wait for Thrace. You might wanna join the Discord.

I don't have Discord, but I can try if I can.

[Empire of Techkotal]

Well its a no. You already have enough coast. But In my humble opinion you should take at least the Cameroon coastline and Namibia.

There are a few issues with this app.

• The first is that you updated and enlarged your core territory without telling us. The reservation that we accepted was for northern Germany, not for the Netherlands. In order to claim the Netherlands too, you should have updated your reservation and asked me or one of the CO-OP's about it. I can see that you discussed it with Tech, but he is not a member of the OP board, and he himself said that you should wait for me.
• And secondly and a lot more importantly, is plagiarism. We tend to take this issue pretty seriously. So much so that people were rejected from the roleplay based on that. And this is not an issue of inspiration, your military section is an almost word by word copy of the military section written by Elerian for his Germany. So what do you have to say in your defense?

1. I can update the reservation.
2. I am not good at creating anything original nor am I sure how long a section should be. I am not a fan of plagiarism, but I apologize for it and it won't happen again. I can remove anything plagiarist from my application. On the other hand, I would take a look at my old RGC application from the 1907 RP instead for more original writing instead.

[Kisinger]

Full Nation Name : République française
Majority/Official Culture : French
Territorial Core : France proper
Territorial Claim : All of its African holdings
Capital City : Paris
Population : 41,100,000

Government Type : Unitary parliamentary republic
Government Ideology/Policies : Militant Republicanism
Government Focus : The current coalition government under the leadership of the Parti socialiste has taken to heavily focusing on the coninuted economic growth that France has experienced since the late 19th century, in conjunction using the exponential economic growth to continually expand the already large military that the Republic fields as well as actively fanning the flames of Republican ideals abroad.
Head of State : President Paul Lafargue
Head of Government : Premier Jules Guesde
Government Description : The Government of France is a unitary parliamentary republic, the only one existing in Europe. It is led by a ceremonial President who serves as the leading diplomat of the nation and the figurehead of the government. The Parliament called the Directory approves laws, ratifies treaties and declares war, it is made up of 400 deputies with the seats remaining the same until the government is dissolved or every four years when all 400 seats are put up for election. They are elected by the FPTP method. The Premier is the Head of Government and ensures laws passed by the Directory are enforced and forms a cabinet of ministers to conduct a variety of activities and pursue policies within granted powers. He also directs most policy within the government. The Judicial branch consists of multiple courts, most notably the Constitutional Court and the Court of Justice interpreting the constitution of France and ensuring the proper interpretation of the law respectfully.

Majority/State Religion : The Church of France
Religious Description : Following the unification of France in the 900s there existed a deep religious divide that had existed between the Archbishop of Paris and the Pope in Rome overtime grew exponentially as the Pope tried to exert more and more power over France and by the end of the 16th century declared the Church of France, translating the Bible to French and maintaining the same internal structure of France with the King of France at its head. Following the dissolution of the monarchy the new head of the Church of France is the Archbishop of Paris.

Economic Ideologies : Mixed Economy
Major Production : Industrial Goods, Coal, Iron, foodstuffs
Economic Description : The economy of France is a mixture of heavy industry with a large agricultural base. In the north of the country exists the large manufacturing and heavy industry of the nation producing textiles, steel, arms, and heavy industry chemicals supplied by the coal and iron mines across the nation. The large agricultural sector exists across the nation with France still remaining one of Europe’s largest agricultural goods producers, with beef production in central France, dairy products in the west, the north is dominated by large wheat farms, and the south by smaller fruit and vegetable farms along with massive vineyards.
Development: Modern
Development Description : France has rapidly developed since the onset of the Industrial Revolution with the spread of railroads across France. With assistance from the government in the form of rent controls, regulations on working age and working hours and the availability of free public education has seen a remarkable increase in the living standards across France especially in the urban centers.

Army Description : The Republican Army of France is the Ground based branch of the French Republican Army it is an extremely large force with a standing force of 410,00 men and a reserve force of 4.1 million. It was founded following the French Revolution in 1789 with the revolutionaries seeing the need to defend the Republic. In order to differentiate itself from the Ancien Régime new standards, uniforms, and regulations were quickly adopted by the Republic, with a primary focus on merit based leadership and merit based promotion. This new merit based system would pave the way for many Republican Victories.

Overtime the Army has adapted to the advancement of technology and has followed suit by attempting to maintain an effective fighting force. The current standard uniform is blank which is currently in the process of phasing out this uniform blank. The standard Rifle is blank, the standard artillery piece is blank. The Army is also currently experimenting with machine guns and it seems will be adopting one in the near future.

The Army adopted a staff officer system similar to that of the one implemented by Prussia and has since then used it as a means to draft a variety of war plans and prepare on paper the logistics needed for any war to come. Due to this the army has adopted a plan to conduct a highly mobile war in order to best defend France by undertaking a number of quick offensives to knock out its enemies.

The Army is organized into several Armies, each containing roughly three corps of 30,000 men each for each corps. There is 4 Armies with France, the Armée du Rhin, Armée des Alpes, Armée du Nord, and the Armée des Pyrénées.

Army Weakness : Lack of true defensive preparations, and surrounded by on all sides
Naval Description : The Republican Navy, is the naval branch of the Republic of France. Historically France has been a major naval power attempting to contend with Great Britain throughout most of its history in the North Atlantic and more especially in the Mediterranean. While it maintains a moderately sized fleet with a large focus on the Mediterranean many of the ships are either undercrewed or are much older steam ships. It is mostly a navy geared to Defensive operations and small raider operations by light cruisers and heavy cruisers on enemy commerce as well as secure supply lines from France to Algeria.
Naval Weakness : Lack of funding and a focus on raider ships then true standup battleships
Further Military Description :
The Republican Guard: The Republican Guard is an elite unit of the French Army directly underneath the Prime Minister himself. It consists of two subunits, the Young Guard and the Old Guard. While numbering roughly 10,000 men each these small units are known for their elite training and modern equipment.

1885 - Several trade posts have been established along the coast of Africa along with several expeditions to the interior particularly around Senegal.
1886 - With the Socialist Party in decline many Communists advocating for a violent revolution by the party deserted it forming their own separate party.
1890 - With the rising Communist Party it has divided the Socialist Party and has pushed a deeper divide between Socialists and Jacobins with calls for many to form a coalition with the Conservatives to provide a united front against the Socialists and Communists. While it may not be the most violent divide in French political history it is certainly the deepest with fears of a Second Revolution against the Republican Regime.

Full Nation Name: Kingdom of Ingavonia (Ingavonian: Köningrejk Ingævoniën)
Majority/Official: Ingavonian (a mix between German and Dutch) with a significant amount of Polish, Lithuanian, Frisian, Limburgish, Prussian (OTL German), Hollander (OTL Dutch), Kashubian, Sorbian, Danish, Yiddish (Jewish), Sahrawi, Khoisan and Bantu
Territorial Core: North Germany (without Belgium, Luxembourg and parts of the Rhine), Netherlands, Namibia (without the Caprivi Strip), Coastal Angola, Coastal Cameroon and Western Sahara (what's left of it)
Territorial Claim: Swabia (golden or dark yellow on the map), Austria, Flanders, Brussels, Alsace-Lorraine, Eastern Belgium (Eupen-Malmedy), Northern Schleswig, Western Belarus, Baltics and more African colonies
Capital City: Ijzenstad (Berlin, Germany)
Population: 46,104,100
Map Color: Lavender

Government Type: Unitary Semi-Constitutional Monarchy
Government Ideology/Policies: Nationalism, Monarchism, Traditionalism and Expansionism
Government Focus: National unity, economic growth, territorial expansion and military buildup
Head of State: Köning Frederik III (he is not like our Frederick III)
Head of Government: Rejkskanzler Jorgen von Baltke
Government Description: The King (Köning) holds a huge amount of executive power, despite the fact that Ingavonia has now both a constitution and an equally executive Chancelllor (Rejkskanzler or just Kanzler). The King can both appoint and dismiss the Chancellor, command the military, represent the country in its foreign affairs and even dissolve the Rejkstag, while the Chancellor has the same power as a Prime Minister (albeit hierarchally below the King), which includes being in charge of both a cabinet and various government policies (except for both military and foreign affairs). The Rejkstag can veto a royal decree by a 75% majority. Any legislation is written into law by the King, although his approval is needed.

Majority/State Religion: Protestantism
Religious Description: Other religions in Ingavonia include Catholicism, Judaism, Islam, traditional African religion and even irreligion.

Economic Ideologies: State Capitalism
Major Production: Coal, steel, fish, chemicals, agricultural goods and heavy machinery
Economic Description: Ingavonia has an influential market economy that is largely controlled by the government. It gets most of its major products from the colonies, while some of them are found in the homeland itself. The Rejksmark (ℛℳ) is the country's official currency.

Development: Modern
Development Description: Ingavonia is filled with modern towns, roads and factories. However, some parts of the country are still rural and the colonies are somewhat semi-modern. The government is now determined to improve and expand the country's infrastructure.

Army Description: The Royal Army (Köningliske Hær) is the land military of Ingavonia. It is led by the Supreme Army Command (Operste Hæreslejtung) and is organized into field armies, corps, divisions, regiments, battalions, companies, platoons and squads. The Royal Army is made up of well-equipped troops and seemingly aristocratic officers. The Royal Army currently has 500,000 troops. The Gewær 88 is the standing-issue rifle. Being a mixed force, the Royal Army is made up of both conscripts and volunteers. The Royal Army also follows a strict code that is similar to the "Prussian virtues".
Army Weakness: Despite having well-equipped troops and strict discipline, the Royal Army is rife with many issues, such as its officers being mostly aristocrats and also prefering to attack enemy forces based on size.
Naval Description: The Royal Navy (Köningliske Marine) is the naval military of Ingavonia. It is led by the Supreme Navy Command (Operste Marineslejtung) and consists of warships, frigates, corvettes and gunboats. The Royal Navy is made up of both skilled sailors and skilled officers. The AGC has 25,000 personnel and is divided into two fleets. These fleets are the Baltic Fleet (Baltiske Vlotte) and the Atlantic Fleet (Atlantiske Vlotte). Each fleet is commanded by an Admiral and a Vice Admiral. Being a mixed force, the Royal Navy is made up of both conscripts and volunteers. It also maintains a group of naval infantrymen, although there are only a few infantrymen within the force. The Royal Navy is also more meritocratic than the Royal Army (whose officer corps is very aristocratic).
Naval Weakness: The Royal Navy has only a few infantrymen and defending the colonies can be an issue (thus the Army is more better at defending colonies).
Further Military Description: Interservice rivalry between the Army and the Navy is prevalent, mainly due to the former being aristocratic and the latter being meritocratic.

National Goals: Strengthen the economy, enlarge the military, maintain social stability and gain more territories
National Issues: France, Swabia, Tatarstan, Britain, Scandinavia, Triple Monarchy, interservice rivalry and a few overseas territories
National Figures of Interest: Duke Ingvar of Schleswig (founder), King Arnolf I (aka "Arnolf the Unbeaten"), King Arnolf II (aka "Arnolf the Wise"), King Frederik I (aka "Frederik the Great"), King Jorgen Vilhelm, King Frederik Vilhelm and King Frederik II (aka "Frederik the Enlightened")

As far as I can tell Belgium is totally unclaimed. The Netherlands is a little more tricky since the German player has requested a claim on the Netherlands but the CO-OP board hasn’t approved this yet. I’d suggest talking to the CO-OPs and German player, best way to contact the CO-OPs is our discord

So that means that I technically could have the Provinces of Friesland and Groningen in my Nation?

As far as I can tell Belgium is totally unclaimed. The Netherlands is a little more tricky since the German player has requested a claim on the Netherlands but the CO-OP board hasn’t approved this yet. I’d suggest talking to the CO-OPs and German player, best way to contact the CO-OPs is our discord

I am thanking you for this Idea, I will try to make a diplomatic approach to the Situation.
