Whats the time scale?

That's been stuck with me for a bit, and for the most part, I'd give it that...every 15 pages could be a year? It's tough, but could be lessened: we have more people then we usually do.

Also, big notice: If you require me to puppet/play a non-player nation, telegram me so I can keep it under note for a response later. Please do not worry about how many messages I have to deal with: I will get to RPing for you all eventually.

Application

Name of State?: The Republic of Rhodesia
History:
Flag, Symbols, Etc.: The IRL Flag of Independent Rhodesia *(IM on n iPad, formatting is hard.)*
Population? 9.52 Million
Language: Primarily English, though a considerable portion speak Afrikaans and various African tribal dialects.
Government:Technically a Westminster Style Parliament represents the people’s will, with a largely symbolic Presidency and a Prime minister actually running the Parliament
-Type of government?: Parliamentary republic.
-Most Important Ministries: The Home office, Judicial office, Parliamentary office, War office and Ministry of defense.
-Head of State: President Albert Roberson.
-Head of Government: Prime Minister Zeah Kotze.
-Special Agencies: BSAP (British South Africa Police) The official state police and Paramilitary Ganderarme of the Republic.
Military:
-Army: Around 8,700 Standing Regulars and nearly 40,000 Reservists | 11,000 BSAP Police officers and 7,800 Territorial Reserve officers
-Navy: 88 Personal, The crew of a Single “RN Ian Smith” a single Unarmed Victory ship turned Diplomatic Service Vessel.
-Airforce: 2,300 standing personal, 2,500 standing reserves
-Special Forces: No. 1 Rhodesian Special Air Service. Trained and founded in the SAS of old, the RSAS are Rhodesia’s most elite military unit, roughly 340 men.
Culture:
-Religion? Primarily a mix of Protestant Christianity and Lutheranism, with the other majority being a mix of African tribal customs and traditions, though these have been largely “Civilized” by Christian efforts.
-Norms? Generally the same as any developed western country, perhaps a bit more conservative, but not overwhelmingly so.
-Society? Fairly tame, split between the Rural Farmers and miners that live a more traditional life style, to the growing urban populace enjoying the turn of the decade in the the way liberal people do. Most family’s own a TV, and if not, they at least own a car or truck. A robust Social security system prevents wide spread poverty, along side a well funded and well respected education system meaning most folks can find work.
-View of Neighbors? Largely negative, though politely so. Rhodesia was recognized as a more advanced developing country as far back at the 1960s, and this has only gone further in the nearly 3 decades since, with a robust, goring economy and population allowing for a sustained period of growth and expansion. This has outpaced most other Sub-Saharan African nations to a large degree and even greatly competing with South Africa it self. That being said, the country as a whole isn’t outwardly expansionist, and with the end of the Bush war in 1973, the older generation that fought it secured a brighter future for the now maturing younger generation.
-View of Inhabitants? The people them selves are fairly united, the ethnic and gender lines that divide most other African nations being largely muddled and erased in some place by the Bush War and it’s whirlwind of combat that formed a close knit, national-minded people. Gender and ethnic based laws have largely been erased in all but the most seldom examples, with equal representation in both Civilian and Military sectors regardless of Gender or race. While this does lead to Women serving in the military and a largely Black African government, these changes have been, over the last 15 years, warmed up to and generally accepted.
Borders?: The IRL boarder of Rhodesia proper.
Color?: What color would like to be marked as? A verdant, Emerald Green.
Population: 9.52 Million.

Name of State? Zentralafrikan Freistaat
History: Formed in 1843 as the Republic of Liberia as a way for free men of color to return to Africa. However, in 1928, it would be long before German imperial forces invaded Liberia and soon established the Dominion of Liberia. They ruled until the empire was destroyed by the Osteuropan Forces which soon lead to the anti-imperial revolt. In 1965, the revolt succeeded with the creation of several states. The union of the Freistaat soon came to be when these nation saw a new threat and soon united to create the Freistaat to combat both sides of the Cold War and remained neutral. Modern day, it has a thriving economy and populace with universal healthcare, low taxes, and a strong military.
Flag, Symbols, Etc.: The people are proud to fly the current flag (which is on my current page.)
Language: There are 3 official ones which are German, English, and Dutch.
Government: It is ran as a Presidential Dictatorship. The rulers of the nation are the Supreme Commandant and the federal assembly with the commandant being the commander in chief, head of state and government. The face of Freistaat is the Supreme Commandant as the overarching person of the Freistaat. The Federal Service, International Protection service, and the Bureau of civil Protection are the main agencies of greater Liberia. Many agencies and ministries include but not limited to - Mini of agriculture, Mini of Federal Railroads, Mini of Industry, and the Mini of Defense. Depending on the situation of things, affairs are most of the time transparent.

Military:Army - 740,000 Navy - 340,000 Airforce - 271,000 Federal Legion - 103,000


Culture:The backbone of the Freistaat is the people. The people are highly proud of their nation. The state religion is Lutheranism and Judaism. You can see people wearing suits or church clothing. Many men can be seen wearing fur caps with a feather or heraldry on it. the heraldry or feather defines there heritage. Many are friendly and will greet you with handshakes, hello, and how are you. Life is pretty great with people easily getting around on a well funded railing and metro. Many people will play baseball or cricket for their free time. There are many federal entities within the Freistaat known as regimental states which are based on the part of the federal legion it is in. People are pretty nationalistic on many things such as the commandant and their land. Many do not like their current neighbors but enjoy others as a whole. immigration is not a big deal with an average citizen able to get citizenship only after seven months of living in the country. There is no division in Greater Liberia accept on ideological terms. Many have different opinions on certain issues and it does make some communities hate each other.

Is there a region for this RP? If so I might drop a puppet in just to stay informed.

It’s the same region that this puppet comes from: Aeterna Publicae. We’re not really a WA participant, so well, I use this one for RP purposes and my other old one from 2014 for issues.

Just wanted to reiterate this, alot of ooc stuff goes on in the rmb of this region so feel free to drop a puppet

I know I said I would do the NPC nations, but since you’ve became a somewhat co-OP, if you are willing to do so and he does want you to, I’ll allow you to play such. All your choice though. Otherwise I can for ya.

It nice to see new faces, thanks for RPing with us. Equally nice to see everyone all around the map too, so this is gonna be fun.

Also so hopefully there isn't any confusion, I'm France, or at least the borders of France and Southern Belgium (Overseas included at least for the former). My nation is going under the name of Le Republiques de Gaulois (The Republics of Gaul).

Don't worry I'm not uber-nationalist, consider it more ancestral, a call back to First Tribes. Really my stance is peace and stability, and establishing a respectable balance of power...with if needed, but that's not important! More importantly I'm not hostile and not trying to stoke hostilities.

So consider me your friendly middle-man, I do have my beefs (Must.End.Oster), it's more circumstance than choice, and that withholding I'm chilling here in Europe. So if y'all wanna trade and establish relations and hopefully something akin to a big and entangled mess of relations and interest ala UN, than aye hit me up.

[Togeria]

Also Oster, I was looking at the front page, I think we don't have a roster yet so that's causing some of the confusion.
