History: Following the defeat of Napoleon in 1814, the previous French puppet state in Italy collapsed allowing for the creation ( and in the case of the Papal states recreation ) of several powerful Italian nations. In the North-West the Agosta family seized popular control and formed the kingdom of Pedimont and Sardinia. The patriarch of the Agosta family, Racchi Agosta ruled from 1814 to 1856 and did his best to secure the political loyalties over not only the lords and counts of Piedmont and Sardinia but also the city states of Lucca and Tuscany. His son, Giuseppe was not the genius statesman his father was, concerning himself more with matters concerning the navy and trading links with Sardinia.
Following the death of the late Giuseppe following a bout with severe stomach ulcers, his son Emanuel Agosta has taken the throne. The king of 17 years of age has yet to marry and has been largely left in the dark by his father as to how lead a state, relying greatly on his minister Mario Burlosconi for advice.

So, by 1861 Italy was unified IRL, so although the APP is pretty good, its slightly too late to be Sardinia Piedmont due to the current year being 1865. DENIED. If you'd like though, you could be Italy.

Governing Ideology: Dual Monarchy

Territorial Claims: Japan, Korea, aiming to conquer Sakhalin and Manchuria
Population: 35,000,000
Land Forces: 500,000
Naval Forces: Around 178 ships due to cost of materials and 'aim for perfection' deals.
Point of Divergence: 1841
History: After the reunification of Japan during the Edo period, Japan sought to remilitarize with all the clans reunited, and sought to the Europeans who visited them eons ago to teach them of the Western way. With this, they improved their army incredibly and learnt of things such as mass conscription and encouragement towards multiple people training and fighting instead of a Caste system-esque samurai theme. Instead of completely abolishing the samurai, though, the Japanese government made them elite infantry, adapting their equiptment to Western standard but keeping in touch with the theme.
They also learnt of the benefits of less warlike Western ways, such as through dual monarchies. Instead of an event where Japan aggressively conquers Joseon Korea, instead they rebuild a relationship. This gradually becomes closer and closer until the year 1831, where a union between Japan and Korea forms. In 1841, Japan and Korea finally agree to integrate themselves into one superstate: Joseo-Nihon, or Korea-Japan.

Leader(s): Emperor Tewodros II
Territorial Claims: Eritrea and Ethiopia. Eritrea is still independent, but the ambition is to take Eritrea as well.
Population: 8,200,000
Land Forces: 100,000, mostly composed of tribal military officers with additional British-trained officers as specialists.
Naval Forces: 75 ships, mostly fourth-rate ships with few being a mix of third-rate and second-rate.
Point of Divergence: From 1817 to 1825, when during Ras Gugsa's reign, he invited the British to Ethiopia for assistances in consolidation of his reign in exchange for military and economy assistances as well as the emplacement of British investments. But the British also placed Kassa Hailu / Tewodros II as the next ruler, since he has no royal ambitions but more interested in the reformation of the state and the church. Also, Tewodros II was a British-trained military officer and not a military officer from his clan/brother's army like in the history.
History:
During the era of Zemene Mesafint, the Abyssinia was lost within the conflicts of regional hostilities, with each figureheads claimed themselves to be the true leader of the empire. The Emperors, at the time, were more than just symbolic rulers, with little power. It's as if they were bound to be like that until the end of their reigns, and then the next and the next and the next. But it wasn't all like that when Ras Gugsa came into the power. Came from the Yejju clan, he was one of the lords from Yejju clan. He formed up the councils of Wara Seh that was composed of lords from Yejju. But at the same time he realized that he needed more than just consolidation of his clan, as rival clans still have their own territories and independence, though he had the largest. So he asked for assistances from the Britain, in agreement with access for their military and economic. They agreed, but the agreement was tenuous since British saw Ras Gugsa too much of a noble and relied on local council more than the foreign advisers, while Ras Gugsa saw British as opportunistic faction.
When Ras Gugsa died on 1825, Ras Ali II, one of his sons, became the Enderase/Regent, with the Emperor of Ethiopia as figurehead and symbolic rulers. The bitter tensions continued till 1850s, where the British-trained officer, Kassa Hailu, proved to be more of a competent military officer and has the ambition of being the emperor with more focus on the people and not on nobility. It gave British slight affirmation of their supports to him, and an Ethiopian Civil War ensued, with Tewodros became the Emperor.
Culture: Ethiopian.

Naval Forces: Approximately 100.
Point of Divergence:
1. The Uva Rebellion as it spanned from 1817-1818 did not exist in this Timeline for 2 reasons. The British Empire doesn't seem to take interest on Sri Lanka for unknown reasons. Finally, The Raja of Kandy or Ceylon have lived longer than expected. However, He still suffers from a Illness ever since his reign. The Adigars is verge of overthrowing the Raja of Ceylon thus establishing either a Monarchy ruled by a new dynasty or a Military Dictatorship. The mysteries of this possible Coup may soon be revealed.
History: Since Antiquity, Sri Lanka was inhabited by Sinhalese people as well as Tamil people. Prince Vijaya of Sri Lanka in which he reigned from 543 B.C. to 505 B.C have united the remaining Unoccupied regions under one Banner thus establishing the House of Vijaya. Sri Lanka have been united ever since by 2 different ruling dynasties. They were highly influenced by Indian Culture as well as Tamil. The Maurya Empire have has established Formal relations with the Kingdom of Anuradhapura until the Maurya Empire's demise in 180 B.C. leaving the Kingdom of Anuradhapura's Economy in ruins. Everything in the History of Sri Lanka was pretty much all about the Land being invaded by Foreign Invaders as well as the Portuguese and the Dutch but not the British in which things have started to get very different. This is where the Point of Divergence began, The Kingdom of Kandy was founded by Sena Sammatha Wickramabahu of Kandy in which they were under the Vassalage of the Kingdom of Kotte at the time. Again, Everything in this Timeline will be exactly the same leading up to 1798 of Sri Vikrama Rajasinha of Kandy's start of his reign. He introduce many Western Technologies that the Sri Lankan people never see it before. Formal relations between Sri Lanka and the United Kingdom of been great since the Kingdom's foundation. The Country did not get Colonized by Great Britain in this Alternate Time as did the Uva Rebellion did not happened as the British Empire did not gain a foothold of Sri Lanka. However, Tensions between the Adigars or Prime Ministers and the Raja of Kandy/Ceylon have remained unclear. By 1817, It was renamed to the Kingdom of Ceylon due to the British's recommendation of the Kingdom's Native Name. Not to be confused British Ceylon in which again, They were not under British control. This led to Sri Vikrama Rajasinha of Kandy continuation of his reign in which the British is something that he should be worrying about as they may be a Chance of Betrayal and Intervention in case of a possible War in Southern India. His reign have caused him to become one of the Longest-Reigning Monarch in Asia leading up to 1865. The Adigars is one of the reasons why they want to overthrow the current Monarch of Ceylon. The Raja of Ceylon is the one to establish a Secret Police against any means of Insurgents or to prevent a possible Coup attempt.

History:
The Haitian slave revolt and subsequently revolution was the first of a series of independence movements in the Caribbean.
The Haitian rebels bogged down the French and the idea of a free society for themselves spread to the rest of the Caribbean. This war when mostly as it has in history.
By 1804 the rest of the French Caribbean colonies were in open revolution against first the struggling empire and then the republic. Napoleon needed his forces elsewhere and had signed peace treaties with each independence movement.
The subjugation of the Spanish crown by Napoleon sparked the revolution of the Spanish colonies the region, the revolutions in the Spanish colonies ended one month after that of the French.
In the British colonies, revolutionary movements had been stirring but had no real momentum until 1803. Upon the outbreak of the War of the Third Coalition taxes had been hiked in the colonies and military power in the region reduced greatly. British revolutionaries jumped on the opportunity and declared independence in the exploding powderkeg of a region the Caribbean had become. Timing had granted these revolutions an early victory against the British, who did not spare the resources or manpower to keep the colonies under British rule.
The Dutch were also hit swiftly by their Caribbean colonies, many simply not willing to become what were essentially French subjects. The Swedish and Danish colonies declared themselves independent and in the middle of the European war, Sweden had no time for the new country and Denmark had the exact same problem.
After the long conflicts in the region and the dust settled a large group of varying countries stood in the Caribbean to fend for themselves. Their infrastructure in ruins and trade all but cut off with European powers. At the breakout of the War of 1812, many of the Caribbean powers, mostly former British subject states began to worry about a possible reclamation of former Caribbean colonies during this war, these colonies (The Antilles, British Virgin Islands, Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Montserrat) sought a defensive alliance with one another but lacked any high population density. The colonies began to seek aid from their larger Caribbean neighbors, Cuba, Haiti, and The Dominican Republic. At three for varying reasons agreed to this alliance, and set up a meeting hall in Havana, Cuba. Other former colonies of the power of the world applied to join the alliance and soon the whole of the Caribbean was in the, at the time, The Alliance to Defend the Rightful Sovereignty of Caribbean Nations, except Guadeloupe which remained fully independent and self-reliant until 1815.
The Caribbean nations were never attacked by the British during the ordeal and the leaders of the Alliance, presidents and Prime Ministers of the Caribbean saw a unique opportunity by the end of the war. They saw a chance for the Caribbean, their countries to become a player, if a small one, on the stage of the world. In 1815 after Guadeloupe joined the Alliance the Council went to work creating a unified Caribbean, one member of the council, Prime Minister of Jamaica, brought the Articles of Confederation to the table for revisions and modification as It was "What the Americans used". Although this put a sour taste in many of the leaders' mouths, they took a look at it anyhow subsequently and edited it to their liking and requirements. In 1816, the "Articles of Federative Conjuncture" were brought out for local parliaments and Congress to sign. The bill swept through nearly unopposed in most of the State systems, everywhere but The Caribbean Netherlands, where it was debated and discussed for weeks on end before the vote came to pass the document with a 63% majority favoring the document. This set the president for all future Federative Laws, ie the parliament that passes it follows it. This has led to laws varying heavily depending on where you are in the Federation, but this system has gifted the states a much greater freedom to govern themselves.
