So what is the status on the Suez? Do the Romans have any plans to construct it? I assume that building and controlling the Canal would make Rome one of the most powerful trade nations, as they could tax shipping through it.
Then again, that would probably hurt the Dutch as our Cape Colony is effectively a pitstop on the way to the Indies.

The German economy is primarily focused on industry, on Armaments.
Tech Group : [Read "Centers of Modernization," European, Oriental, Mesoamerican, N/A (default is N/A)]
Army Description : [[Describe your nation's army in as much detail as you can]] [spoiler]The Volksarmee (People's Army) was first created in 1839, 1 year before the Republic was formed. It was basically a small militia of Prussia. In 1840, the leader of the German Confederal Frankfurt Parliament saw that Germany was on the verge of collapse, especially when King Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia died in early June of that year. He declared that he sees a dark future if Austria rules all of Germany, or, if Germany collapses, making it easier for neighbors to conquer German lands, especially the Franks and Poland. Most Parliament members were in shock by the speech. The next day, the leader of the Frankfurt Parliament decided that it was time for Germany to officially unify as an actual country. He spoke about a more unified Germany. He said that 'our lands and countrymen will prosper, with every generation there-after.'. He then declared, as it known as, the Formal Act of Unification, which every Parliament member must vote yes or no for an actual Unified Germany. The voting process took nearly a week. Out of 583 members of Parliament, 419 voted for "yes". The Austrians thought that this was an act of War by the members who voted "yes". The German Confederation collapsed into 2 nations, the German Republic (led by Prussia), and the Empire of the Germans (led by Austria). The German Republic, controlling most of Northern Germany, with the exception of Hanover, quickly got men into it's Arms, 38,000 in the first week. The President, King Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia, called it the Volksarmee, after the last unit created by the late Friedrich Wilhelm III. In the Empire, it was having trouble getting men, especially in Austria. But it had one major advantage over the Republic, the Kingdom of Hanover was in the Empire. The Kaiserliche Armee (The Imperial Army) only got 20,000 in the first month. On September 19, 1840, the Volksarmee and the Kaiserliche Armee had it's first stand off, in the city of Stade, near the Hanoverian-Prussian border. The Volksarmee were confindent, with strong morale, with 42,000 soldiers, opposing 34,000 poorly-prepared soldiers of the Kaiserliche Armee. The battle, a week long, was won by the Volksarmee, only suffering 6,000 casualties, with the Kaiserliche Armee suffering 11,000 casualties. The War went on until early 1842 when the Empire surrendered after the 3rd Siege of Vienna. The War costed over 200,00 casualties, with the old Kaiserliche Armee getting over 109,000 casualties. Towns and cities were devastated from the War. President Friedrich decided to release most of the Volksarmee for civil services, basically rebuilding cities. Within 1.5 years, the Republic was done rebuilding itself from the War.
Army Weakness : Can't travel as quick as other nation's units, get tired easily, too confident, outdated weaponry
Naval Description : [[Describe your nation's navy in as much detail as you can]] The Volksmarine (People's Navy) is seen as a menace to other countries. The Navy is primarily based in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, keeping a close eye on it's enemies, the Teutonics and the Franks. The Navy has 80 ships, with 68 of them being made of wood. The 12 ships, made of metal, are small Ironclad prototypes, inspired by Britain's gunboat, the Nemesis. The Navy has 34,440 regular sailors and 65,560 reserve sailors. After the Republic was done rebuilding itself from the People's Revolution, it tried out getting some Colonies in Brazil and India, but failed, proving the Volksmarine to be not as strong as the navy of the Dutch and the Iberian Navy. Since the failed attempt at getting Colonies, the Navy has gotten stronger, training more sailors, building more ships, and attempting to build a U-Boat prototype (which failed countless times).
Naval Weakness : Ships not reliable for combat, not disciplined as well, little courage
Further Military Description : [[OPTIONAL]] The Volksarmee is organized by amount of manpower in each group. The groups: Squads, Companies, Regiments, Battalions, Divisions, Armies, Grand Armies.
Squads have 15 men
Companies have 5-7 squads (75-105 men)
Regiments have 3 Companies (225-315 men)
Battalions have 10-14 Regiments (2,250-3,150 men)
Divisions have 4-6 Battalions (9,000-18,900 men)
Armies have 2-4 Divisions (18,000-75,600 men)
Grand Armies have 2-3 Armies (36,000-226,800)
The Strongest Grand Army is the Presidential Guards, at a massive 226,800 strong. It's the most Elite of the Grand Armies, but it's rarely used. Thus, making the Presidential Guards weaker then usual. Because of it's weakness, soldiers from regular Grand Armies are switched with a soldier of the Presidential Guard, wasting valuable coal and wood (on trains) from transporting the soldiers. Most Grand Armies have 72,000-108,000 soldiers. There's actually 10 Grand Armies in the Volksarmee. The Volksmarine is fairly similar.
Squads have 10 men
Companies have 8-9 squads (80-90 men)
Platoons have 4-5 companies (320-450 men)
The German Republic actually 2 Militaries. We were just talking about the first one, which is controlled by the Volksversammlung. The second military is the Präsidentenarmee (Presidential Army). This military has 10,000 soldiers and 30,000 reserves, and is controlled by the President himself.
Both Militaries combined has 1,340,000 men in its Arms.
National Goals : Reunite all Historical German lands under one banner
National Issues : [[what needs to be fixed in order for your nation to achieve its true potential]] Former grumbling Austrian leaders have formed Secession groups in the Republic, primarily focusing on Southern Germany and Austria. The Government has some corruption, making 11% of the population (5.8 million) restless with the Government. The Bohemians getting tired of high taxes (on Non-Germans).
National Figures of Interest : King Frederick the Great of Prussia, Duke Albert I of Prussia, Emperor Otto I the Great of the HRE

The War went on until early 1842 when the Empire surrendered after the 3rd Siege of Vienna. The War costed over 200,00 casualties, with the old Kaiserliche Armee getting over 109,000 casualties. Towns and cities were devastated from the War. President Friedrich decided to release most of the Volksarmee for civil services, basically rebuilding cities. Within 1.5 years, the Republic was done rebuilding itself from the War.
Army Weakness : Can't travel as quick as other nation's units, get tired easily, too confident, outdated weaponry
Naval Description : The Volksmarine (People's Navy) is seen as a menace to other countries. The Navy is primarily based in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, keeping a close eye on it's enemies, the Teutonics and the Franks. The Navy has 80 ships, with 68 of them being made of wood. The 12 ships, made of metal, are small Ironclad prototypes, inspired by Britain's gunboat, the Nemesis. The Navy has 34,440 regular sailors and 65,560 reserve sailors. After the Republic was done rebuilding itself from the People's Revolution, it tried out getting some Colonies in Brazil and India, but failed, proving the Volksmarine to be not as strong as the navy of the Dutch and the Iberian Navy. Since the failed attempt at getting Colonies, the Navy has gotten stronger, training more sailors, building more ships, and attempting to build a U-Boat prototype (which failed countless times).
Naval Weakness : Ships not reliable for combat, not disciplined as well, little courage
Further Military Description : The Volksarmee is organized by amount of manpower in each group. The groups: Squads, Companies, Regiments, Battalions, Divisions, Armies, Grand Armies.
Squads have 15 men
Companies have 5-7 squads (75-105 men)
Regiments have 3 Companies (225-315 men)
Battalions have 10-14 Regiments (2,250-3,150 men)
Divisions have 4-6 Battalions (9,000-18,900 men)
Armies have 2-4 Divisions (18,000-75,600 men)
Grand Armies have 2-3 Armies (36,000-226,800)
The Strongest Grand Army is the Presidential Guards, at a massive 226,800 strong. It's the most Elite of the Grand Armies, but it's rarely used. Thus, making the Presidential Guards weaker then usual. Because of it's weakness, soldiers from regular Grand Armies are switched with a soldier of the Presidential Guard, wasting valuable coal and wood (on trains) from transporting the soldiers. Most Grand Armies have 72,000-108,000 soldiers. There's actually 10 Grand Armies in the Volksarmee. The Volksmarine is fairly similar.
Squads have 10 men
Companies have 8-9 squads (80-90 men)
Platoons have 4-5 companies (320-450 men)
The German Republic actually 2 Militaries. We were just talking about the first one, which is controlled by the Volksversammlung. The second military is the Präsidentenarmee (Presidential Army). This military has 10,000 soldiers and 30,000 reserves, and is controlled by the President himself.
Both Militaries combined has 1,340,000 men in its Arms.
National Goals : Reunite all Historical German lands under one banner

The German economy is primarily focused on industry, on Armaments.
Tech Group : [Read "Centers of Modernization," European, Oriental, Mesoamerican, N/A (default is N/A)]
Army Description : [[Describe your nation's army in as much detail as you can]] [spoiler]The Volksarmee (People's Army) was first created in 1839, 1 year before the Republic was formed. It was basically a small militia of Prussia. In 1840, the leader of the German Confederal Frankfurt Parliament saw that Germany was on the verge of collapse, especially when King Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia died in early June of that year. He declared that he sees a dark future if Austria rules all of Germany, or, if Germany collapses, making it easier for neighbors to conquer German lands, especially the Franks and Poland. Most Parliament members were in shock by the speech. The next day, the leader of the Frankfurt Parliament decided that it was time for Germany to officially unify as an actual country. He spoke about a more unified Germany. He said that 'our lands and countrymen will prosper, with every generation there-after.'. He then declared, as it known as, the Formal Act of Unification, which every Parliament member must vote yes or no for an actual Unified Germany. The voting process took nearly a week. Out of 583 members of Parliament, 419 voted for "yes". The Austrians thought that this was an act of War by the members who voted "yes". The German Confederation collapsed into 2 nations, the German Republic (led by Prussia), and the Empire of the Germans (led by Austria). The German Republic, controlling most of Northern Germany, with the exception of Hanover, quickly got men into it's Arms, 38,000 in the first week. The President, King Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia, called it the Volksarmee, after the last unit created by the late Friedrich Wilhelm III. In the Empire, it was having trouble getting men, especially in Austria. But it had one major advantage over the Republic, the Kingdom of Hanover was in the Empire. The Kaiserliche Armee (The Imperial Army) only got 20,000 in the first month. On September 19, 1840, the Volksarmee and the Kaiserliche Armee had it's first stand off, in the city of Stade, near the Hanoverian-Prussian border. The Volksarmee were confindent, with strong morale, with 42,000 soldiers, opposing 34,000 poorly-prepared soldiers of the Kaiserliche Armee. The battle, a week long, was won by the Volksarmee, only suffering 6,000 casualties, with the Kaiserliche Armee suffering 11,000 casualties.

Three things about that:
Just as european nations think very little of what orients think, any nation that has lands in Asia without explicit permission from Korea or any other Asian powers korea thinks very little of. They call them "barbarians" for a reason when any other speeches are otherwise very formal.
There really is no legal boundaries surrounding a blockade. It is just one-sided declaration... most likely to happen during war, but not always. Even that (complete defition of blockade) is technically not true on what I am intending because the ships are technically being stopped outside the borders. While I hesitate to say that this is blockade in its formal definiton, I couldnt think of a better name for it, hence why it is there. Calling a formal definition of blockade would mean that I am blcoking entire Scandinavia, which is false, as I am blocking trades coming into Java from Korean waters... well, what Koreans think of Korean waters. Kind of like what rest of the world is doing with IRL North Korea: we are going through and searching Scandenavian ships destined to Java bearing any supplies detailing construction. Similar things happened between France and US I believe during the rule of Napoleon, where US ships bound for Britain was intercepted and seized. At the very least, Koreans are just sending them to the other direction, not drafting the sailors and seizing the ship.
Even that is actually not very well enforced due to actions of the Viceroy, who is helping to mitigate actions by Ministry of War as much as possible. In actuality, very little would be happening to Scandenavian ships because of this "blockade," and it is the reason why admiral is furious at the Viceroy at the beginning of the post.

Still, a the majority of the ships that are being searched are of Western origin. As you stated, a Similair event happened with the US, and they went to war over it. I highly doubt that Scandinavia is going to allow what would be perceived as inferior Orientals to just have free reign searching Scandinavian ships. I, of course, don't speak for him, but I know that if this happened to, say, France or Spain in 1850 it would be massive.

Actually, yes.
Java doesn't care about the forts. If Korea intercepts the supplies needed to build them, they're going to shrug and move on. As long as commercial traffic isn't affected, Java will pretend that everything is dandy and nothing is happening. Batavia makes its money, a lot of money, connecting Europe to Asia, and that means that the Batavian authorities (which basically are the Javan authorities at this point) value their relationship with the Oriental powers.
Copenhagen will be deeply offended about the blockade, but who cares what they think? They're a month of travel away, the North Sea Fleet is tied up fighting the Teutonic Order, the Scandinavian Army deployed along the Baltic coast, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is busy negotiating an alliance and trying to establish contact with Iberia. The best that they can do is demand that Java do something about the problem, at which point Java will issue a note of diplomatic protest, and if that gets ignored, oh well they tried.
