[Tagali Federation]

Nationstates Name: Tagali Federation/The Greater Gambia
Nation Name: The Mali Empire
Flag (Optional):

Governing Ideology: Monarchy
Leader(s): Amat III Rileh
Territorial Claims: [spoiler] Mali
Population: 20 Million
Land Forces: 100,000 men, 10,000 cavalry
Naval Forces: 200 Sailors

Point of Divergence: 1700
History: During the Middle Ages, Mali was a prosperous nation in Western, famous for its wealth. By 1700, however, the Empire was a shadow of its former self. The rise of the Songhai had lost Mali much of its eastern lands, while in the west, the Wolof and other groups and sensed Mali's weakness and broke off. For centuries, Mali would remain a shadow of its formerself, sitting in mediocrity as the Songhai expanded in the east and the western coasts were battered with slave raids. That is, until the ascension of the house of Rileh.

During the early 1700's Amat I Rileh claimed the title of Mansa of Mali. He had a dream, to restore his homeland to its former glory, to once again stretch Mali from the Atlantic coast, the the edges of the Sahara. He first looked to the west. The once proud Wolof kingdoms had found themselves decimated from the Atlantic Slave Trade, leaving them ripe for the taking by the Malians. Despite initial success, the Wolof rallied themselves and mounted a worthy offense, but one they could not hold forever. Knowing this, Amat offered them a deal, accept his rule and in return, and gain a place in the court, becoming the lords of the Senegambian region. While a few kingdoms rejected the deal, most of them accepted, and aided the Malians in securing control of the West. While Amat would secure the west, he would die before beginning his second target, Songhai. The retaking of the East would be left to his son, Mahmadou Rileh. In the year 1723, Mahmadou marched east into the lands of Songhai. The resulting war was a bloody one, with Mahmadou leading the charge in many battles. The most famous of these was the battle of Timbuktu, where the last of the Songhai had decided to make their last stand. Mahmadou was the first one over the walls.

Many decades have past since with many rulers of Mali having conquests of neighboring lands much smaller than those of Amat and Mahmadou. Now, in the year 1870, the young Amat Rileh the Third has risen to the Ivory throne. Not content with simply expanding into the many tribes surrounding Mali, but has his eyes set on all of West Africa.
Culture: Mali is a very diverse nation, from the Wolof and other Senegambian ethnic groups to the West, the tribes of the Volta, and to the tuaregs of the Sahara. Mali is also a land of many religions. While the main religion is Sunni Islam, many still cling to the ancient african religions. In recent years, Sufi Islam has begun to spread from the Western reaches of the Empire.

[Nitom]

Nationstates Name: Nitom
Nation Name: New Roman Empire
Flag (Optional):
Governing Ideology: Elective Monarchy
Leader(s): Etzi Bacardi
Territorial Claims: Italy, Angola, and Namibia
Population: 26 million
Land Forces: 300,000
Naval Forces: 34 frigates, 10 Ironclads, and 60 other various ships.

Point of Divergence: 1830
History: After only fifteen years, the Italian Unification wars ended after an alliance between the kingdom of Italy, the united provinces of central Italy, and the Roman republic created a massive difference in power between this alliance and the other many warring kingdoms. The final battles raged all the way until the failed attempt of a surprise attack on Rome by the Kingdom of Sicily. This left the Sicilian forces devastated as most of their army was lost in the attack.

After the end of the Unification Wars the New Roman Empire set its sights on naval expansion. By 1850 Angola and Namibia had been colonized. In order to continue the spread of Christianity and to keep the Vatican happy, they (the Vatican) were granted a second Vatican in Angola and sworn support for future crusades.
Culture: Religious fervor is at an all time high as the possibility of the crusades resuming becomes more apparent.

What could possibly Persia and Japan can get in relationship between each other?

Mexico, France, and Russia are the main focus for now.


Our stance regarding Union and Confederate is neutral for now.

M'kay. Although running with Russia might fuck with my long term plans. I'll probably try to remain neutral towards Russia.

France pls I beg

Be my ally

Eventually, until then let me figure out which country you are

He's Persia. Irrelevant until proven otherwise.

[The Knockout Gun Gals]

Persia is like Korea, torn between countries. Korea is surrounded by China, Japan, and Russia. Persia by Ottoman, Russia, and a possible India.

India is my buddy tho so it's okay

It's those other two ruining this neighborhood

But hey, Japan and Persia could have some cultural programs between one another

[Insaeldor]

I just realized, France and Germany are already on the brink of war.

I mean it was going to happen eventually, figured we might as well get it out of the way sooner rather than later so we can focus on other things.

Someone already making an app about Netherlands, so unless he/she takes off the reservation, then you need to reserve a new nation.
