Free France has basically all of sub-Saharan French Africa. As for Algeria, it can be independent or under Free French rule. Up to you (assuming you app as Free France). Though if you do claim Algeria, overextension is going to be one of the problems.

National Issues: Mention three (3) issues - domestic and foreign - that plague your nation and which you need to tackle in order to prosper.
1. Following the Kraut victory in WW2, Brazil would gradually begin to devolve into Far Left and Far Right wings. The German victory has inspired many nationalists in Brazil, many believing the nation could achieve the same level of success following Fascist ideology. During the war and following, the destruction of trade networks between Britain (and later Germany, following the Brasilia Conference of 1947) led to the breakdown of Brazilian trade networks, and thus economic decline. The failure of Communism however would give rise to other Left Wing ideologies in Brazil, the 1st and 2nd largest being Syndicalism (which saw a resurgence after the Stock Market Crash of 1946) and Totalism. Both sides exert increasing control in Brazilian political life, forcing the remaining Moderates to form the temporary United Brazilian Coalition in 1950 in a desperate attempt to keep the radicals out of power. However the coalition is shaky at best, and stagnation in government lends increasing support to the far left and far right in government as fringe militias grow increasingly bold, leading to an uptick in terrorist attacks and other unfavorable actions by fringe militias in the nation. It seems if the Coalition collapses before or during the elections (which it seems ever more likely it will), Brazil could move in any direction; left or right, although not without intense backlash from other sides.
2. Following the breakdown of Brazil's trade networks and political ties with the Axis, the economy has rapidly declined, with multiple smaller economic crashes and further decline being commonplace after 1946 with the government being unable to finance reconstruction. Further damaging the economy is the current Axis blockade of the nation following the 1947 Brasilia Conference, in which German representatives demanded Brazil enact anti-minority legislation along Nazi lines in turn for the opening of trade. The following days during the Conference devolved into little more than petty insults by either side as neither side could find a compromise and talks broke down, breaking down relations and eventually culminating in the Germans beginning what amounts to a blockade of Brazil's Atlantic coastline, limiting the nation to Caribbean and overland trade.
3. Corruption runs rampant in the Brazilian military, with many officers and officials taking bribes and forming secret deals, often at the expense of the Brazilian government. This corruption is easily visible, however court cases have proven ineffective in quelling the threat as both corruption and fear of German attacks worsening result in countless Not- Guilty verdicts. If the Coalition holds, it could attempt to push through anti-corruption legislation, or even carry out raids and sting operations, however this may have the side effect of possible rebellion as well as weakening Brazil's defense forces, and the Coalition remains bitterly divided over the implementation of said legislation.

Little preview from my possible Brazil submission. What do you guys think?

It generally looks pretty good and will be happy to have you aboard.

One correction though; can we have another reason for the breakdown of German-Brazilian relations? Maybe a Brazilian refusal to stop trade with US perhaps? Since while the Nazis are interested in promoting in their ideology, they would not start a blockade of a country in another continent over internal racial laws.

It kinda does. He will have to move to Northern Siberia.

If that is the case, could I app as the Vladivostock junta mentioned in Hungary's app?
Provided that the original East Soviet player is not interested, of course.

Except Northern Siberia doesn't have the infrastructure to support the National People's Soviet Government, too cold and too empty. Either Hungary's app or the reservation has to go

Yes, population and economy would have to be revised.

Hungary's app has been accepted, so it will not go.

Assuming the player does not revise their app within the next two days, then I will reserve it for you.

Sudanese Question - Ever since the UK surrendered to Germany, all of its allies and colonies, including Egypt, cut all ties with it. As a result, Egyptians are now hellbent on taking Sudan away from their old British overlords.

Uncertain Allegiance - Egypt is currently caught in a dilemma as it must choose between the United States of America, the Greater Germanic Reich or maybe the Arab world. Meanwhile, anti-colonialism is emerging right now as colonialism has started to decline after WW2.

Ideological Strife - With colonialist decline, Egypt has been caught in a power struggle between various political groups. These groups include royalists, liberals, socialists and Islamists.

Public Goals: Retain independence, strengthen the economy, become a regional power and choose a side in the ongoing Cold War.

Other Military Information: The Egyptian Home Guard is a government-approved militia formed to assist the other Egyptian military branches, as well as civilian authorities, during state of emergency. It was formed after WW2, mainly in case of a possible conflict with the UK regarding Sudan. It currently has 219,000 personnel, making it the second-largest branch in the Egyptian military.

History: Egypt as a country declared independence in 1922 after having served as a British protectorate for eight years. Sultan Fuad I became King and the Wafd Party ruled the country for at least two decades. Meanwhile, Egypt continued to share Sudan with the UK. In 1939, WW2 broke out and the Nazis began ravaging Europe. Egypt fought with the UK. However, the Nazis gained the upper hand after defeating both the Red Army and the Royal Air Force. In 1943, the UK formally surrendered to the Nazis and a peace treaty was signed.

Once such treaty was signed, many allies, protectorates and dominions cut all ties with the UK. Egypt was one of those countries who broke all ties with the UK. It began moving towards an alliance with the US and Free France. However, political conflict occured as royalists, liberals, socialists and Islamists began clashing for power in Egypt. In 1948, the Egyptian government formed a new military branch, the Egyptian Home Guard, whose goal is to assist Egyptian society during state of emergency. As years goes by, Egypt suffers from a dilemma as its allegiance becomes uncertain, thus a possible alliance with the remaining Allied Powers fell into jeopardy.

It is now 1952 and Egypt has made plans to take full control of Sudan. It is a matter of time before Egypt goes to war with the UK.
