History: The founding of the first German nation was in 1871 when Adolf Dum Vamkampf declared the Germanic Kingdom. The nation controlled all o Prussia, and a small part of Austria, Netherlands, and Denmark. The nation was quick to expand in the growing world, first into Poland and the Central European nations. Austro Hungarian empire was its all time enemy and in 1902 it began massive war against Austrian empire. It won in 1908.
From 1909 to 1927 the nations prospered under the umbrella of peace until the Dutch empire demanded that northwest Germany be handed over. The Germanic government denied them their demands and invaded them for such. The Dutch empire crumbled before they knew what hit them. The Belgian empire had a crashing economy and tried fixing it by expanding into Luxembourg, but that caused it to crash. In 1932 Belgium and Luxembourg joined the kingdom.
In 1953 it was renamed to the Germanic Dominion. From 1954 to 2039 it expanded into what it is now. In 2053 the nation began building new sources of renewable energy to survive.

Who owns the Falkland islands?

[Cymrea]

Balls. I totally neglected to claim them. I may have to reassert a claim over them.

Like right now. Claiming Falklands, Gyr. Yea/ney?

Edit: Might as well toss in the other nominal dependency claims: Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey, Ascension, Falklands, Gibraltar, Svalbard (Norway).

No claims to any other British dependencies or territories, Jan Meyer, Reunion, or Corsica. And no claim (as yet) to any bit of the Republic of Ireland (yet!).

Given that you're claiming Argentina, we can make Falklands a thing to either negotiate or bicker over.

Fight over, probably. Falklands are the rightful islands of the Empire!

Quick question: Being the Middle East, the current global status concerning oil is going to greatly affect population movements and the economic strength of my eastern territories. I'm curious as to the state of he world's energy climate

Agreed. Dwindling oil supply (and thus more valuable, maybe?) versus alternative energy source development.

I altered it!

1) A population of 1 billion is still too many, by half. Plus, that many people would crush your economy with food needs alone.

2) Need a number in warheads; I recommend about a dozen, maybe twenty. Fissionable material isn't hard to acquire, but weaponising it is a huge process. 150 silos is doable. 300 submarines is crazypants, though. I'd say 40 or 50 maybe - even the US Navy has only 73 and that's a tremendous cost.

3) Military numbers, including reserves needs to come down to at least 2% of total population with imminent threat, though 1% peacetime is more reasonable.

4) Start with GDP per capita and figure out a good average yearly income for your people. Something similar to Australia current numbers. Then multiply by your population - that equals your GDP. Another good reason why your population should be lower. Too high means crushing poverty and an abysmal Per Capita.

More altering, sir!

Anthem: (Need to find something that won't put me on a terrorist watch list)

Detailed government structure: The Caliph-Elect serves as the head of both State and Government, elected for life from the registered Muslim population of the League. He is granted the power to call to order and dismiss the Islamic Parliament (Though dismissal may only be for a maximum of 2 months with a 2 month minimal season), to appoint the leadership of the League's departments and of its armed forced (though the later must have at least 10 years in service and a minimum rank depending on the branch in question), can dismiss any resolution passed by the Parliament if it has less than a 55% majority, place a hold on a passed laws implementation until it is reviewed by a council of Quranic scholars to insure it is not in gross violation of Sacred Law, and can form agreements with other nations on matters of foreign policy, though these can be struck down the Parliament every 5 years during review.

The "Territories" of Turkey, Mesopotamia, Syria, Transjordan, Lebanon, and Civilian Palestine are all constitutionally required to function as parliamentary republics, with Kuwait being granted a special privilege allowing the Al Sabah family to inherit the position of Governor-Secretary and those regions of Formerly Occupied Palestine not turned over to the Palestinian government under 'indefinite martial law, with particular areas to be transferred to control of the Al-Qud (Jerusalem) government by act of the Islamic Parliament once order has been restored.'

Government type: Federal Elected Non-Hereditary Constitutional Monarchy

Ideologies: Political Islam, The Dirigiste State, Paternalism

Leader(s): Caliph-Elect Sokoul Qut

Capital: Mosul
5 other major cities: Istanbul, Baghdad, Ankara, Kuwait City, Damascus.

Claim: Turkey, T.R.N.C, Iraq, Kuwait, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine (Current political name Palestine Civilian Administration, Israel (Areas not 'redeemed' are referred to as "Formerly Occupied Territories of Palestine Under League Reconstruction", or The P.M.A (Palestine Military Administration) for short.)

Population: 276,000,000

Colonial population: N/A

Accepted ethnic groups: Arabs, Turks, Kurds

Primary ethnic groups: Arabs

Minority ethnic groups: Hebrews, Greeks

Official language(s): Arabic, Turkish

Unofficial languages: Hebrew (In Occupied Palestine)

Major religions: Sunni and Shia Islam, Judaism (In Occupied Palestine)

Official religion: Sunni Islam

Accepted religions: All are tolerated and have a recognized legal right to exist, be practiced, and organize in groups

Minority/unrecognized religions: Jews face heavy de-facto discrimination, as they are the most heavy supporters of the Zion Independence Front (Z.I.F). Synagogues are usually heavily surveyed, movement is restricted in Palestine, and positions in government are rarely open to them

Foreign relations: The League has adopted a highly inward-looking set of policies, and so generally adopts an anti-internationalist policy in her diplomacy. The situation in Palestine remains a huge sticking point, greatly worsening relations with North America and receiving mixed reactions in Europe as well. Not expansionist, but wary of economic imperialism and sees itself as the protector of the interests of Muslim nations and peoples abroad. The situation with Iran is tense, with elements of the local Iraqi government making trouble with Iranian Arabs and Iran's Shia terrorist organizations causing some problems,

Descriptive Economic policy: Dirigiste. The running economic theory in the League is that it is the government's responsibility to maximize the interests of the nation. This isn't exactly the same as the interests of all the citizens, focused instead on national power and economic and political independence (Which includes objectives such as domestic industry, military might, international prestige, the retaining of local economic control, greater internal stability and government solvency). This translates to moderate levels of taxation (to fund infrastructure and provide loans and subsidies for industries the government wants in the country), State direction of the 'commanding heights' of the economy (Particularly in primary industry and resource extraction), and lighter regulations on domestically-run businesses to encourage the internal strengthening of the state

Descriptive Economic situation: Still 'developing' in the classical sense. The economy is growing faster than it's 'mature' neighbors in Europe, North, America, and East Asia.

A) I don't see your reservation
B) Why exactly is Turkey being split? It could easily trounce your over-extended Albanians already dealing with the invariably massive opposition from the ethnic and religious hatepit that is the Balkans.
C) My economy isn't struggling; it's just developing rather then developed . Also, the Middle East is well known for investing more money into it's military proportionally than the rest of the world

Accepted

This is the acceptance, for reference. It hasn't been updated on the OP yet.

[New Granadeseret]

A) I don't see your reservation
B) Why exactly is Turkey being split? It could easily trounce your over-extended Albanians already dealing with the invariably massive opposition from the ethnic and religious hatepit that is the Balkans.
C) My economy isn't struggling; it's just developing rather then developed . Also, the Middle East is well known for investing more money into it's military proportionally than the rest of the world

A)I was accepted before you
B) Well nor does your Country
C) No, that is incorrect.

I denounce the splitting of a sovereign state as powerful and stable as Turkey to this hodge-podge confederation of ethnic hate. Your very statement of domestic relations 'Every Ethnicity works and lives together and united.', is baffling and flies directly in the face of realism and thousands of years of ethnic relations. You make no historical explanation for why you have European Turkey (Turkey would never join in support of its traditional claims-rivals against one of it's best friends in the Balkans and it's western allies). I call on the OP to explain exactly how this is feasible, particularly in such a way the Federation manages to survive when the American-European soldiers leave.

Not an unreasonable request. However, given that the OP owns the thread and can adjudicate the apps as he sees fit, it might not be an answer you like, if you get one at all. Gyr's a good guy, though, so we'll see.

So tell me, since when do the Syrians work with the Turks and Iraqis. Your Federation is based on basic knowledge of the Middle East. So before accusing other people take a look at your "country" first. Balkan wars are "new" and they haven't been going on since the begining of times.

I understand that. I don't demand the verdict go in my favor; just that this issue receive a fair trial.

The Turks have been an observer member of The Arab League for years now, Syrian Republicans win the Syrian civil war with Turkish backing (Most of the bad blood is against the Syrian government, not the people themselves), Turkey further intervenes to crush ISIS, saving Iraqi government, and turns east economically as EU membership seems to be going nowhere.

Also, the Slavs, Bulgars, Greeks, and Albanians have been in ethnic fueds long before the Ottomans showed up, argueing over who's land is who's. The area was the site of very frequent conflict until the Turks came in and forced them all to behave using bigger-gun enforcement. Add all the modern elements and the religious issue, and its even worse. Even if they aren't fully hostile, there's certainly nothing that would UNITE them, particularly under the Albanians, who can't even play the Orthodoxy card.

You know how small is the European side of Turkey is, do you?
Who says I am not playing the Orthodox card?
So what brings your nation together, religion? It is 2070 and religion won't have the same power as today.

It has Istanbul, the largest city in my country, Europe as a whole, and control of the Bosphorious Straits. It has zero reason to want to leave a union with it's Turkish brother in Anatolia to join this unstable mess in the Balkans.

Albania has a majority-Muslim population and is well-recognized as part of the "Kebab". They are also by far the least-populace group in the Balkans, and apparently their leadership was crammed down everybody else's throat by what was clearly neo-Imperialism. The Greeks, Bulgars, Serbs, Croats, and everybody else aren't going be kept down very long once the American-European soldiers leave.

Well, firstly this is The Middle East. Religion is slightly more powerful here than elsewhere, particularly if Political Islam is cultivated as an ideology. The Arab League is a pre-existing organization that built the frame work for regional co-operation and governance, Turkey is well integrated economically to the region, as a major exporter of cosumer goods and investor in local industry. There is also historical precident (The Ottoman Empire being an existing, long-lasting and fairly harmonious in the region; the failed nation-state system would easily cause people to look back fondly at union and looked much better then the alternative of splintering into stable but non-viable minor states).
