About 1000 Line Infantrie (1 Regiment), and around 500 Litche Infantrie (1 Regiment). All about a hundred times better trained and equipped then anything you could field :P .

Actually, an interesting fact of the era was that the soldiers/warriors of Eastern states were probably, taken individually, more skilled than their European counterparts. Middle Eastern-style muskets (jezails) were longer and often larger caliber than European muskets, being more accurate (although less technically advanced, they took longer to load.) They also weren't standardized, of course.
However, Europeans worked better as a team. Arabs and other Eastern states didn't seem to quite be able to get the level of unit training that Europeans could instill.
That and they often saw the bayonet as almost offensive. Taking a powerful symbol like the sword and reducing it to a spike of metal you stick on the end of a gun? No thank YOU, offendi.

Also, Switzerland, Russia isn't any further into Europe than it was prior to the Second Great War, and probably has rather good relations with the Swiss given how many loans we've arranged for them to make with other states. And how many we've taken out from them. Your bankers probably freaking love us.

It also takes rather longer than a year to build the facilities to construct a dreadnought, not to mention to gather all the technical expertise to skip directly to the 'giant battleships' phase. Having lots of money does not necessarily allow you to automatically gain the technology to do things like that. If you want to import expertise, which would probably be a good idea if you don't want your ships to fall apart, you should contact somebody.

Also, shipyards for dreadnoughts are built in space. This is because we lack the capability to build atmosphere capable ships over a certain weight.

I am guessing Bavin is gone due to the fact that Sweden is open. Therefore i would like to claim said state if at all possible.

Bavin has reclaimed Sweden and is posting, Sweden is not open for claim.

Other nations are though, Denmark..Abyssinia...come to mind.

Its not the Austro-Hungarian Empire though, that dynasty has long since fell. It is the Magyar Empire, its not so hard to RP as such simple substitute Hungarian nobility for the Hapsburgs and you will be fine, maybe make a Corvinus dynasty. I mean really all the Hapsburgs are no for is inbreeding and a fucked up chin. The Magyars were pretty bad ass, just look at St. Steven.

To change this would require a rather substantial revolution as the last player tried. Such things are not what new starter nations need to do to themselves when just beginning in EE, its rather counter productive in every sense.

@Tristaniano
Please read the first couple of posts. You need to make a puppet and move it to Imperial Glory. Please post EE related stuff with the puppet.

@Coyell
You can play as Malta, but it will probably not be very exciting.

@Gratislavia
I don't keep the OP fully updated at every moment of the day.

In regards to changing the name, what WIck said. The only major changes you would be bothered about would be a shift from the official language to Magyar, the capital shifting to Budapest, the change of the dynasty name, and the majority of uniforms being red instead of white. Oh, and people would call you a different name.

More or less, you'd be playing Chocolate Flavored Austria instead of Vanilla Flavored Austria.

@FS/Venice
Venice is correct. Our last Abyssinian player was removed for the second time due to inactivity. He can come back, but he can't claim Abyssinia.
