Hopefully this shall do.

Erm, I kinda meant what I said when I said you should transfer them to Strengths and Skills. A basic understanding of economic theory and how a government works do not expertise make- it's totally cool if you don't have any particular expertise, most folks on these forums are still in high school/secondary school, and so won't have any either.

The kingdom of Haiti

The office of prime minister Tristan Dupont
The office of the prime minister was designed so that the room had two large windows on opposite walls, the wall to the left gave the prime minister a view of Port au prince while to the right gave the prime a view of the sea. This was supposed to allow the prime minister to see the prosperity of Haiti and to see the it's good relations with those abroad alas in mr Dupont's case all it showed was the slowly crumbling social order in Haiti and the fact that his nation was wedged between the U.S.A, Mexico and Pra'araziaydınız Imparatorluğu the latter of which was viewed by the people of his nation as hegemonic imperialists. Mr Dupont's main concern at this moment was the growing popularity of anarchism within his nation and the fact that the Haitian economy had suffered enormously as a result of black Thursday.

However despite the cry's of the opposition the government was working on a solution to the issue. One of which was addressing the fact that Haiti was still a nation that relied very much of agriculture as it's main source of revenue and in an industrial world where most nations already had the capacity to feed themselves Haiti didn't stand to gain much. This was all supposed to be changed by the Haitian economy act which would introduce a national project to industrialise the nation and to reform the economy into a laissez faire system with minimum government intervention in the markets. Though none of this would be possible if parliament did not agree and as much as mr Dupont disliked it he could not change the fact that many people within parliament still believed that an agrarian economy could work nevertheless the voting must go forwards.

The prime minister's speech to the public
"People of Hispaniola are we not united,are we not one strong and united nation? there are those in our nation who reject this unity in fact they do not just reject the unity of Hispaniola but the entire concept of unity, these people wish to to bring Mankind back down to the levels of beasts once more. I am of course talking about the anarchists those who are the scum of this great nation. But do not be deceived by their lies of equality and freedom for what they advocate is nothing more than the complete aboliton of what made the Human race the masters of this Earth in the first place
Internal voting:

Bill: The Haitian economy act
Contents:
A new national project shall be started be started in order to industrialise the nation of Haiti and further efforts will be taken to move economy into the laissez faire system by lowering the corporate tax from 30% to only 15% and business will receive subsidies.
Arguments:

<Liberal> "The Haitian economy had been dragged down to pre Moreau levels. We need to industrialise."

<Agrarian> The Haiti economy has not needed to destroy our environment in order to generate a profit for years, why should we begin now?"

Votes:
For: 175
Against: 16

Bill: Ban on anarchisim
Contents:The rise of anarchism within this nation is unacceptable and if we are to maintain stability in this nation. We need to institute a full ban on all anarchist movements and organisations.

Arguments:

<nationalist> "We must ban these insidious organisations in order to ensure the safety of our people,just look what happened in Africa for god's sake."

<Liberal> "To abolish a legitimate political movement is against the very idea of the democratic process and who's to say the government won't just stop at anarchists."
Votes:
For: 101
Against: 100

Military affairs:
As seen as Haiti is an island nation with a rather small land mass the army is largely used as a purely defensive force with the majority of funding going into both the navy and the airforce. No one believed in this doctrine more so than admiral Thomas Benoit who largely advocated for the use of submarine warfare and strategic bombing raids. Now he was able to secure funding from the Haiti government in order to start the development of 2 new submarines but he was also capable of beginning the development of the nautilus class submarine. The nautilus class would be the most advanced ship in the entirety of the Haitian navy and would provide them some measure of power projection across the Caribbean.

Many in the government hoped that this would not only allow them to protect themselves from imperialistic powers that were encroaching into Caribbean but would also give them the military might necessary to begin to pressure some of the smaller states into annexation.
external affairs:

To:United States of America
From:Kingdom of Haiti
Subject:Joining OAEC
Greetings our fellow Americans. We here in Haiti wish to inquire about the possibility of our nation joining the economic bloc known as OAEC. As a regional power within the Carribian we believe that it would be mutually beneficial for both our nations to see another member join the OAEC

To: Turks and Caicos islands
From:The kingdom of Haiti
subject:Peaceful annexation
Greetings our fellow Caribbean brothers. As you no doubt know the crash of the American stock exchange has caused quite a bit of turmoil within the Caribbean and smaller nations such as yours are suffering quite a bit, so in order to protect your people against the horrifying effects of a complete economic collapse we will invite you to a conference in order to discuss the possibility of annexation into our nation. We shall also offer you the protection of our military which does after all have a larger capacity then your own.

National projects:
Mass industrialisation(0.00%)Funding is just beginning to come in and equipment is being bought.

The Nautilus class(0.00%)basic schematics are being drawn up and materials are being purchased.

2 new submarines(0.00%)The dockyards are being prepared and materials are being bought.

Full Name: Joseph Ignatius Walker
Age: 35
Appearance: Standing at 5'7 and weighing in at 170 pounds, Joseph Ignatius is, or rather was, close to that of a typical American male. Due to years of hiking and working in clinical settings, Joseph has strong leg and back muscles. He had somewhat of a belly due to his past diet but has lost it since arriving. He's a good Irish American lad, with hazel eyes that shine with flecks of gold and green, and black hair. Joseph's face is freckled and spectacled. He has a full beard, maintained as well as one can on bronze blades. He has a single scar along his right arm from a building accident.
Height and Weight: 5'7 and 170 pounds
Religion: Roman Catholic
Field of Expertise: Healthcare Policy(American), Clinical Nursing, Outdoorsmanship
Skills and Strengths: Excellent Practitioner, Charismatic, Crisis-capable thinking and acting ability. Joseph is a veteran of emergency medicine. He can handle crises with a cool and level head, though he prefers to respond as part of a team than on his own. Due to his hobbies, he is also versed in more primitive first aid, although he is no expert. He has also become intimately familiar with the limitations of medicine of the time and more or less has perfected the art of setting bones. He's also an excellent brewer.
Weaknesses: Joseph is still somewhat reliant on 'new' technologies. He had only been a Physician's Assistant for 2 years before being transported back. Before that, he was a Certified Nurse's Aide. His experience is as a helper, a supporter. He has only recently begun to transition to a leadership role. He grows frustrated with his inability to treat higher-level ailments and is afraid to perform major surgery.

Full name: Abraham Meyer
Age: 38, though he appears 18
Appearance ( description or picture ): Black hair, pretty scrawny, but in shape now, brown eyes.
Height and weight: 150 pounds, 6'0"
Religion: Agnostic, born Jewish
Field of Expertise: None
Skills and strengths: Over the past 20 years stuck in this Neolithic time period, he has learned the area quite well. He has become adept at fighting, and using his large height and therefore leverage to his advantage (through his training he also put on muscle mass, which is why he's gained weight). He knows woodworking well, because he's had time to practice. He has learned ironworking pretty well, and is currently working on an experiment involving creating a boiler. Additionally, he has learned basic wooden constructing skills, as well as mixing a bit of iron in as nails and the like.
Weaknesses: Fast metabolism (very bad when food is scarce), no real field of expertise.
Where in the world are you landing?: Sussex County, New Jersey. Landed at the beginning of New Civilizations 3.
Would you like to be Co-op: hahaha.
Sample: I was in the last one. I was in the one before that, and the one before that, now. I was in the first one. I can find other references if necessary.

UPDATED APP:

Full Name: Turner Jackson

Age: 30 (Appears to be 19)

Appearance: African-American man of average height, with brown eyes and black hair. Due to years of fighting in battles and other strenuous physical activity, Turner has evolved from being a lanky and weak teenager to a very strong warlord, possessing strong muscles in his arms, legs, and other areas of his body. Turner possesses scars all over his face and body, ranging from simple bruises to major cuts. Despite all of this, Turner has not aged, still having the appearance of his 19-year old self. This has led him to believe that he might be immortal.

Height and Weight: 5 foot 6 inches, 180 pounds

Religion: In public, Turner serves the six gods of Ego. In private, however, Turner remains a Christian, though he keeps this a closely-guarded secret.

Field of Expertise: Having served the government of Ego as an avatar of the Patient Crow, and now in control of his own province, Turner has gained a field of expertise in manners of administration.

Turner became a national hero during the Wisconsin Campaign due to his efforts (and was awarded a province for it), and has gained numerous allies all across Ego. Turner's skills in manipulation and scheming have improved as a result, to the point of becoming a field of expertise. Turner outwardly appears to be very loyal to Ego, allowing him to put his negative reputation as an upstart behind him over the years; it is true, as he is loyal to the ideals of Ego. However, Turner's lust and ambition for ever-greater levels of power prevents him from simply being content with what he has now. Turner manipulates his allies to benefit himself, though it is done subtly and rarely with force.

Skills and Strengths: Decent level of intelligence and wisdom. Decent level of understanding of geography and world history. Due to his years of fighting in battles and leading troops, Turner has attained a great understanding of warfare and battle tactics. Ambitious, and will not give up easily.

Weaknesses: Not particularly a socialite; Turner prefers to keep to himself at times. Turner has asthma, making exercise and strenuous activity more difficult. While Turner has made extensive progress in improving his negative reputation as an upstart, there are those high in Ego's government who still are wary of him.

Hey G, how open admission are the Universities of the Imperium

Very; a letter of recommendation from one of the far-flung secondary schools will admit a student, or passing an admission exam. The exam has a proctoring fee that is steep enough to prevent frivolous retaking, but beyond that students are not financially liable if they are admitted.

So, how feasible would it be for Alala to take the exam?
She's got five years of education in English*, Sciences, Maths, and various other subjects. She's probably all over the place compared to a Impie in terms of General Studies, but her knowledge of microorganismsmicrobiology, conceptually, should be top-tier.

Sure, I don’t think that will be a problem. The reason for the entrance exam is to admit those students who might not have gone through the formal system, like Alala. She might have a bit of a tough time at first, because classes will be in Common, which is a proto-Germanic patois with loanwords from English, and other medical students will have been apprenticed to surgeons or physicians of the Imperial academy, but I’m sure she’ll thrive regardless.

Yes and no; English, as we conceive of the language today, doesn't exist. If she walked up to one of her professors and started chattering away in modern English, they would recognize perhaps one word in twenty, but wouldn't be able to comprehend the rest of it. The words they recognized, in turn, they wouldn't think of as being English; such words are, obviously, just part of Common, that is, Imperial Germanic.

Essentially the Imperium speaks bastard Indo-European proto-German, with a generous helping of English loanword nouns, but most of the rest of sentence structure hailing from that vanished tongue. Additionally, over time and in some cases deliberately, English words will have been interbred with Common ideas or nouns to form congruent wholes which make sense to native speakers, but would be very foreign to those who speak English. A crossbow, for instance, might be the Germanic equivalent of a "arrow thrower", instead of the actual English word "crossbow", due to Viktor having explained the foreign concept with familiar terms.

Does that all make sense?

Yup. So there will be hard language barrier, as she speaks her native tongue and English fluently, but probably knows a much more limited set of Imperial Germanic.

Mhm. It is a system that deals primarily with students from within the Imperium, save in select border regions. She could attend school in one of those border regions, of course (there should be more ability to deal with multiple languages in the academies of Byzantium versus those in Mara or Himtalas, for instance), but there would likely be a corresponding decrease in cutting-edge knowledge available.
