Got Mitt uns
1914: in This year the war to end all wars began, like a cinder to a powder keg, Europe exploded into violence as the Europeans alliances such as the Entente and Central Powers came into play.
But this time.....the war went differently.
With its own declaration of war, Italy chose to stay loyal to the Central Powers, helping to spread out French troops more, and putting more pressure on the French south.
Also this time Germany choose to do it the hard way discarding most of the Schlieffen-Plan, preventing the British from joining by promising to adhere to the neutrality of the BeNeLux,and instead defending against the French Plan XVII. In the east the war went similar to as it went historically,in the end resulting in an Central Powers victory.At the Negotiation tables in Brest Litovsk,the germans set high demands for themselves and their allies,Initiating the Mitteleuropa-Plan.
On the Romanian Front, as historically, Romania had to surrender,ceding the Dobruja to Bulgaria and the passes over the Carpathian Mountains to Austria-Hungary.
As well as leasing its Oil Wells to Germany for 90 years,effectively tying it both economically and politically to Germany.
With troops released from the Russian Front,more were sent to the Balkan front,greatly supporting Bulgaria,Austria-Hungary and the Ottomans.
After a rapid success in the Balkan front,troops were moved west again.
Back on the western front the war had once again led to a stalemate,though with less attacks, however with men freed up from the east and Balkans, the Germans started making larger incursions against the french forces. Finally after 5 years of stalemate and the Germans enveloping the last french forces around Paris,and capturing it in a bloody Battle,final negotiations started.
Italy would receive all land given to France as part of its support for the Italian Unification, as well as Corsica,Tunisia and Djibouti.
Germany would receive the rest of French overseas Possessions.
And the treaty further also limited the french military,and especially its heavier equipment and vehicles.
Additional bits of History,stuff that happened IC, and Notes:
- The Netherlands have turned into a dictatorship via coup.
- In Mexico during the Civil war a Junta took control,and rapidly annexed Guatemala.
- France has been heavily punished in the war,loosing its colonies,most of its military equipment larger than small arms and being forced to pay reparations,as well as the release of an Independent Duchy of Brittany(as a constitutional monarchy,the head for which would be chosen by its parliament).
- The Baltic Duchy is being ruled by its German minority,to ensure loyalty to the empire.
- Ukraine granted the most autonomy of the eastern german states,though placed under occupation.
- Russian Civil War goes on,still without foreign intervention,though that may change.
- The New German Protectorates still have to be recognized by most state,which will probably be a precondition for them to continue diplomatic relations with Germany or said protectorates.
- The puppets are open to rp (except for Ukraine,which already is taken),though I'll expect you to rp as that,a puppet.
- Mexico currently is embargoed by the US.
- Most nations of the world,have not recognized the new nations(Exceptions are France and Russia by force,the new nations each other,the WW1 Central powers,the Dutch Rijk,and South Russia).
- Germany has given the dutch supplies for their annexation of Belgium.
- In France,a more or less limitless dictator has risen.

Descriptions
History : As World War One broke out in Russia the Dutch began supplying the war machine of the Central Powers, oil and rubber from their Indonesian Colonies primary. This wealth was a boon to the Dutch, allowing them to start construction and modernization of the Navy. Not everyone was happy about this, particularly a young woman named Arabella Van Der Zee, daughter to a high ranking Dutch Officer. She had read her father's books as she grew up, and had educated herself in the ways of warfare, and also politics. She could see where she thought her nation was going wrong, and that problem was south of their boarder. Stolen wealth from the Dutch was the only thing that drove the Belgians in her mind, something that needed to be corrected. As blockade blocked food shipments and the wealth of the Dutch, Van Der Zee saw her chance, donning a uniform, cutting her hair short, and making speeches to the people of the Netherlands. She amassed a following as she blamed the food shortages on the Belgians, how she blamed the French and British for their troubles, and called for immediate war with the states that would destroy the Dutch Empire if they had the chance. Her defining moment was leading a group of soldiers up the stairs to parliament and preforming a coup de tat at gunpoint, Dutch democracy lost as she walked out to thunderous cheering with the announcement, in this, the year of 1918, the Dutch would take back what was theirs. Her troops were posed to attack when France finally surrendered, and as such she pledged her and her nation's loyalty to Germany. Shortly after the war she released her best selling autobiography, Mijn strijd (My struggle), and it quickly became required reading for highschool students.
Description of you nations economy: The Dutch Economy is fully industrial, manufacturing products from an empire on which the sun never sets. It is being pressed to build war goods now, but is normally being used to make things like ships, automobiles, and appliances. It also is able to sell rubber and oil to all the powers of Europe, owning the Dutch East Indies. Having not been involved in the war for the most part, it suffered no real damage.
Description of the Military: The Dutch Military is still modernizing, but this is little problem with the full backing of their Empire. The Navy is becoming the main concern of the Dutch, needing one to compete with the British and Japanese, as such every Dutch drydock is building ships at the moment. The airforce is also receiving new airships based on German designs, due to their use as a terror weapon. Its stock of chemical weapons is second only to the Germans.

History : In the year 1863, Korea realized that they needed reforms to keep up with the changing world. Accepting trades with the Dutch, Americans, and the British; the Korean government, especially the liberal portion, embraced economic modernization and democratic reforms and with the decline of China's influence, Korea became more independent. During the modernization, Korean living standards grew up with the hosting of the first parliamentary election where men at least of 21 years of age can vote. In the first election, the centre-right Liberal Party won the most seat in government and the Prime Minister position along with the Imperial cabinets were created. The Korean military also joined in on the reform as they want to see military modernization with Dutch and British weapons and uniforms replacing most of the antique Korean armory except in the reserve force.
In April 10th, 1885, with the help of the Dutch and the Britons, Korea launched campaigns to take Manchuria from China and in August 19th, 1885, Manchuria was under Korea's rule. In 1894, the Koreans and the Britons launched a naval blockade on Japan and entered the shores. After 2 bloody years of fighting, Japan was integrated into the Korean Empire.

History : Thinking a bit on this, will edit it in shortly.
Description of you nations economy: The British economy is a powerful one, not having had to be used to fight during the war. It is a trade and industry heavy economy, though with its wide stretching empire, the economy is simply huge, though not without its problems. Observing the war, the economy was shifted a bit to modernize and expand the standing British forces, and to strengthen the Empire as a whole.
Description of the Military: The mainstay of the British military is the navy, the British Empire maintaining the largest naval force in the world which has only expanded during the war on the continent.
The Army is a rather small, but highly professional force, and doctrines have been implemented to ensure that should a war break out and involve them, the Empire would be able to field a large, efficient volunteer and conscript force, with lessons learned during the war from British observers on both sides being taken in.
The Royal Air Force is slightly lacking in its current form, the national focus on the navy, and followed by the army. However a new age of forward thinkers has risen in the ranks and in the Parliament, ensuring that the British military as a whole could undergo some rather large changes, the RAF chief among these.

History : Having remained neutral throughout the events of World War I, Denmark ensured it's neutrality through not only diplomatic matters, but by providing a sizable and modern military force to protect her interests, namely the homeland. Rising national fear in regards to the German Empire has caused an air of uncertainty to fall upon the people of Denmark, causing quiet negotiations to be sought out with Great Britain and the Scandinavian states in hopes of assistance if war were to break out between Denmark and the German Empire.
Description of you nations economy: Maintaining her staple as a trade center, Denmarks economy remains strong in the face of the events in mainland Europe. Industries have been geared towards the buildup of war materials in the ever growing fear of invasion from the German Empire.
Description of the Military: Small in the face of the main European powers, the Danish military is nevertheless modern and equipped to fight a war in the defense of her interests and territory. Strategical plans have been reevaluated in the face of the Great War and the events of the past First and Second War of Schleswig in order to better field a modern military. Infantrymen are highly prized and are equipped with the latest in military technology, allowing the navy to simply provide coastal cover and the air arm of both to provide ground support and raiding on both ground and naval targets.

History : A (sort of) fascist (Junt-ist?) revolution was successful in Mexico in 1918 after years of conflict. The old government's economy was in shambles because they began to spend too much. The nation began to industrialize as soon as things were re-stabilized, and the new Mexican army annexed Central America in an attempt to bolster population (for work force and military reasons). The Mexicans seek to unite all Spanish-speaking lands into a great Latin empire. When their borders are more secure and solidified, they will begin work on the economy. They plan to use the resources of their large territory to their advantage, making much money off of them, as well as using them for themselves.
Description of you nations economy: Not too shabby, although they aren't very rich.
Description of the Military: The Mexican Federal Army (MFA) uses the German Mauser rifle and the Fusil M-1908 "Mondragón" for its standard service rifles..

History :
The USA stayed neutral during WW I but was pro Allies during the conflict. It sent military material and fuel to help France in the war effort, only stopping after the fall of Paris. The USA still keeps a close relationship with the French government as well as the British government in an effort to counterbalance German hegemony over Europe. The French defeat severely damaged US prestige and was generally considered a loss in the US-German cold war that is beginning to take shape.
The current administration led by the Socialist Party, one of the three major parties in the USA along with the Republicans and Democrats. It is credited for lifting America out of the Great Depression along with an increase in standard of living and civil rights. Its current Foreign policy includes a more lenient stance towards the USSR (which it does not recognize) juxtaposed with a cooler relationship with the Fascist governments of Western Europe.
Description of you nations economy:
The second largest in the world after the UK, the US economy is primarily based on manufacturing, retail, and agriculture. It has large reserves of iron, coal and oil, exempting it from having to have a large imperialist colonial network like the other Great Powers.
Description of the Military:
Though not as advanced as the Germans, the USA possess a professional army to match any among the other Great Powers. Its strength lies in its ships. The US Atlantic Fleet is the third largest in the world in terms on tonnage, after the UK’s Grand Armada, and Germany’s High Seas Fleet.

History (if your history is not discussed in the introduction you can reasonably make it up: To keep this short and sweet, basically the war in the Balkans was pretty much in a stalemate for the majority of the war. The Austro-Hungarian and Bulgarian allied armies would win some batrles but then the Serb-Romanian-Montenegrin alliance would sometimes prevail. It was not until the Germans defeated the Russians and started moving troops to the balkans, that the enemies of Bulgaria admitted defeat rather than continuing and facing the same destruction russia faced. In return for territorial concessions to Bulgaria, Serbia made peace with the Bulgarian Tsar Ferdinand I, who then proclaimed the Third Bulgarian Empire, to great acclaim at home. Other enemies such as Romania were forced to cede land as part of the negotiations. Now, with the war over, Bulgaria is in a time of rebuilding while still ambitious nonetheless and ready to expand its borders and truly be a "New Byzantium" though blood and iron.
Description of you nations economy: Recently Industrialized state, main exports of military goods and other finished items. The economy is strong enough to support a mass mobilization as was seen in WWI but has left it fragile and is recovering.

History : France's defeats in the Great War made the people of France turns against the government. People who became increasingly more Germanophobic during the War joined the Action Francais, a reactionary far-right movement. The party led the country in the Desperate Revolution, overthrowing the Clemenceau-Poincare government and reinstalling an Orleanist king, Jean Duke of Guise. The parliament was reformed in 1918, with Action Francais having a majority and appointing Jacques Bainville as Prime Minister. Despite this, France still faces the disastrous arrangements of the Treaty of Versailles. Many French feel that the treaty was the republicans' fault, and Royalism is on a rise.
Description of you nations economy: Trade unions are implanted to keep demands on wages, hours, and conditions in check. France is a slight protectionist state, using subsidies and tariffs to direct the flow of trade. Recently, the value of a Roifranc has been going up, leaving many to believe that France is undergoing hyperinflation. Unemployment is high, with deficit spending being used to employ people to build roads, houses, and various appliances.
Description of the Military: The French Armed Forces are heavily burdened by the Treaty. The King is the Commander of the Armed Forces, but Marshal Philippe Petain and Fleet Admiral Henri Salaun, along with Commandant De Rose of the Air Army, really control the military. Command is limited, and with restrictions on the manufacture of new equipment, the French Army needs to resupply through some other means.

History : After the Bolshevik coup, Cossack-controlled Novocherkassk became a haven for anti-Bolsheviks, particularly ex-Tsarist officers who made it the headquarters of the Volunteer Army. Under Alekseev and Lavr Kornilov, they managed to sway the Cossacks against the Bolsheviks, whose combined forces went on to capture Rostov. After several losses, it became clear that the White Movement would not hold Rostov against the superior Bolshevik forces, and made a tactical withdrawal southwards in order to gain popular support, in an event known as the Ice March.
Having made their way south, they launched an attack on Krasnodar, though it would not bear fruit to the cause. The Volunteer Army was hopelessly outnumbered, and Kornilov died in a blaze of glory. His successor, Denikin, realised the futility of their efforts, and withdrew north to Novochervassk. Thus did the Russian Civil War begin in earnest.
The Red Terror policy caused the Bolsheviks to lose the support (if they did have any) of the Cossack population, allowing the White Army to win them over. A new Ataman, Pyotr Krasnov, was elected, mustering 40,000 men under the Don Cossacks alone. Now, with the backing of the Cossacks, Denikin launced the Second Kuban Campaign, which brought most of the south under the White Movement. All in all, South Russia seems to be in a fine position to launch an attack on Bolshevik Moscow.
Description of you nations economy: Seeing as it is being governed under a military government, it does not have much of a focus on commerce. However, the wealth of the land is being gradually given back to landowners and the bourgeoisie.
Description of the Military: The bulk of the Armed Forces of South Russia is comprised of ex-Tsarist soldiers and officers, many of them seasoned veterans of previous engagements and the Great War. A large portion too is formed by the Cossacks of the Don river, some of the greatest horsemen in those regions, who were the first to rise up against the Bolsheviks. Most of their weaponry is captured from the Red Army, or from supplies they had prior to rebelling.

History : The Ukrainian Peoples Republic procalimed its independence in January 25. 1918. The UPR has succeded in defending itself from the Bolsheviks in a short war called the "Winter war". The Winter war was fought from January 30. to March 6. Even though this was a rather short conflict, it was a troubleing one for Ukraine because of the lack of weapons and soldiers. The German Empire aided Ukraine in the war by sending soldiers, weapons and ammunition. In return Ukraine needed to give the Central powers food but also had German troops stationed in it, making it a de facto protectorate.
Description of you nations economy: Mostly agrarian but industrialization is getting stronger, but because Ukraine still has need for the agrarian industry (sending large amounts of food to the central powers) the industralization is slowed down. Ukraine has great potential to become a economically sustainable state.
Description of the Military: Most of the soldiers in the army fought in the war against Bolsheviks, they are experienced and wont hesitate to die for their country as they are proud Ukrainians.

History : Decades of civil and international turmoil followed with constant clashing between politicians and military generals, often resulting in military rebellions whenever the army doesn't have its way, despite the government already being in the pocket of the armed forces, have brought about to represent a somewhat stable nation. After undergoing severe trauma since its formation, the Republic of Brazil seems to be more of that one person in your life who always has a smile on their face, though you could easily tell that by the stress they've undergone over the years, they're dying and going mad on the inside. One can only hope that the person they've voted for and the military has instilled will be an adequate candidate for at least bringing a new golden age in policies, just once. Though this system of politics may not last for long. Opposing parties have over the years brought raids and rebellions on the other just for spite. It may not be long before the people learn to do this on their own and inevitably turn upon the ones who rallied them in the first place. The war was a topic of heat for the country since it had begun, with the populace split on whether to get involved or not. And so they didn't, well, at least until the later years. A few forces sent towards the allied cause, and the factions they supported fell into oblivion. Doubtful they wouldn't have made much a difference anyway, though if they joined earlier, they could've at least detoured the German lines or sunk enemy ships going towards commercial vessels in the Mediterranean. Now with the war at end, the rebuilding begins. Delfim Moreira, the 10th president in the republic's history has announced his resignation for reasons of psychological illness and declining mental health. Following the amends of the constitution, elections were called and the next candidate was chosen. Epitacio Pessoa, a close friend of the former president and soon to be vice-president, has proven his potential, beating his opposition, civil rights advocate Rui Barbosa by just over 110,000 votes. Now he is left with the task of mending the Republic into his will, and guiding the principals of the country into a new age of prosperity and stability. Just so long as the military is on his side, of course.
Description of you nations economy: Booming until the war's end. Now with the turmoil having been dealt with, economic growth has slowed somewhat as the government must now focus on repaying its pre-war loans, particularly a massive amount to the US. Being one of the highest coffee producers in the world has proven to be significantly useful, as the continued cultivation of coffee shrubs follows a seasonal four-year pattern, new industrial fields are being opened as opportunities for economic growth begin to rise so suddenly. Mostly supportive of Agrarians and the Working class, with the military having a decreasing foothold on the government. Economically, the United States seems to be the favored trade partner. Hopefully with the war at end, some reparations would be in order, just a small bit.
Description of the Military: A period of modernization has been instated following the Contestado War, in addition to the relative competiveness to challenge the military presence of European powers at the time of the Great War. Before this, sporadic periods of regional and state military build-ups and modernization had effected only when in need of a high military existence, such as preparations for a rebellion, mobilization for a possible war, or a military revamp altogether. The military of the republic buys or makes its weapons from the American and European market, particularly Britain and the war-stricken remnants of France. With the defeat of these two empires, Germany is now looked to in the arms market for state-of-the art weapons and experimental tactics, with an army larger than any other, they are a far more admirable partner for dealing militarily. The military, since the formation of the republic, has had a reputation for having established a massive influence in the national agenda for politics, though over the recent number of years, no amount of protest and uprising has been able to stop the stubbornness of the government and the growing wariness of citizens to allow for their control over government subsidiaries to diminish almost rapidly. It is suspected that their final grasp on their decreasingly collaborative puppet will go out with one final 'bang', a coup, inevitable but so massive in proportion, the entire nation will be rocked at its core. The days are numbered
