Symbols:
Location: #90
Population: More or less 1 million
Capital City: Bon Bélier
Government Info
Government Type: Absolute Monarchy
Brief Explanation of Government: A government type where the monarch is both the Head of State and Government. He is in-charge in representing the Grand Duchy to the world and in administrating the day-to-day working of the government. He is the one who can appoint the members of the Executive Branch including the Privy Council. To keep his power in check, the first Grand Duke Artois issued a Royal decree for the formation of the House of Lords as the Legislative Branch.
The Legislative Branch is led by the Premier, who is in-charge in presiding the bills passed by the House of Lords. He is usually recommended first by the members of the House of Lords before appointed by the Grand Duke. The House of Lords is composed of the different nobles and royalty throughout the Duchy including high ranking members of the clergy. The sole legislative house of the branch is tasked with the formation, discussion and passage of the national policies, this is also a move to keep the Duke's power in-check and to develop a wider view on some issues through debate. With the lack of the House of Commons, one of the House's passed bill is the creation of local council for towns, cities and provinces. Each council named differently: the Town Council or City Council (Conseil Municipal), depending on it's size, is the lowest form of the local legislative branch. They are in-charge for the development, and passage of local policies. It is composed of 7 council members with a Chairman as a presider, only under to the Town/City Mayor (Maire de la ville). The other one is the Provincial Council (Conseil Provincial) which varies from number due to the different number of districts in a province but it is always an odd number. They are in-charge for the passage of provincial policies that only affect their respective provinces. The members of such council must be elected by its own locals, and the candidates must be local to the district they want to serve.

Population Info
Brief Description of your people: The majority of the Grand Duchy's population is composed of French Le Platans, a cross-breed of French mainlanders and the native population. Because of this, the main language that is spoken here is French with some natives speaking their local dialect. Also because of the spread of Christianity in this part of the world, the majority of the population are fierce Christians which led to the construction of churches and a Cathedral in Bon Belier. Though the aristocrats may be the ruling class, they themselves are giving the commoners some power in-order to keep them in check. As per order of the Grand Duke, the commoners and artisans have been gradually given rights and powers to wield such as the ability to own and buy land. This move by the Head of State is one of the reasons for the majority of the populace to trust and abide them.

Brief Description of your Economy: As a country which has a fertile land thanks to the different river systems, the Argentine agricultural sector is greatly exploited and supported by the government for maximum production and profits. With the discovery of mineral reserves in Pampas had led to a boom of the mining sector, but is also protected by the government in order to keep illegal foreigners from stealing the natural resources of the Grand Duchy. The other major industries of the country are the animal herding, fishery and other crop-based industry such as tobacco, sugarcane, grapes, and corn. Overall, the Argentine economy is considered as one with a great potential for growth and with the vast vacant spaces, it is expected to see an influx of migrants from the north, among this migrants, could be potential investors for the Argentine economy. As ambitious as his father before the Grand Duke Artois has started a major investment project for the development of the Argentine infrastructure and slowly start industrialization through the funds accumulated by his fellow nobles with the aid from his allies abroad, it could be expected to see another boom on the Argentine economy.
Goals: Unite the former French colonies (La Plata) consists of Chile, Argentina, and Antartique
History: With the fall of Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 came the fall of the French influence in Americas. The once united French Territory of South America would eventually be divided into three nations namely: the Grand Duchy of Argentina, Grand Duchy of Chile and the Republic of Antartique. The two Grand Duchies were the result of the major influence of the remaining French nobles who were given land there when it was still a French Colony. Supported by other escaping nobles from the mainland, this band of aristocrats formed a new nation. Among these nobles, the ancient House of Artois by Count Artois rose among them, a House whose former head has served under the Napoleon during the Napoleonic Wars.
With Count Artois' leadership and initiative, he has successfully assembled his first court where they have mutually agreed on the terms of the creation of their Declaration of Independence from France. Forming the Grand Duchy of Argentina, which is then divided into 50 provinces with a noble loyal to him stationed. In the first decade of freedom, the court has produced a series of reforms that modernized the Duchy in the New World's standard. Starting with the formation of a Bi-cameral Legislative Branch and dismantlement of the feudalism, which means the freedom of serfs and the granting of lands for commoners.
Though people may assume that as nations who shared the same culture, the three French-speaking nations should have been close. But in fact, these states are near at the point of warring each other. The current Duke Artois would exploit this tension in order to expand the Grand Duchy's territory and making it into a Kingdom. With this ambition in mind, he has gradually built up a military force with the training and equipment of the Napoleonic era this also led him to plead for French assistance. As the mid-19th century looms near, a series of reforms have also been passed one of this is the transitional period to a Constitutional Monarchy which would then give more power to Premier as the Head of Government.

Nation Name: Dual Kingdom of Aragon and Naples
Symbols:
Location: 4
Population:
Homeland Population: Crown of Aragon: 3,494,700
Crown of Naples: 12,365,800
Imperial Population: Tripolitana: 409,000
Capital City: Zaragoza (de jure, political); Barcelona (de facto, economic and cultural)
Government Info
Government Type: Composite monarchy
Brief Explanation of Government: The Dual Kingdom is actually a personal union between two confederations formed of five polities; the Kingdoms of Aragon and Valencia, and the Principality of Catalonia comprising the Crown of Aragon, and the Kingdoms of Sicily and Naples comprising the Crown of Naples. The province of Tripolitana is a separate polity, and is considered to be the personal holding of the monarch.
Each polity within the Crown of Aragon has its own parliament, and the monarch is bound by various feudal pacts and laws, and therefore his position is regarded as semi-constitutional, as he retains significant powers.
The Crown of Naples is different, with the monarch being absolute. There have been growing calls for them to be united and granted their own parliament, similar to Aragon, but for the time being these calls have been supressed.
Tripolitana is considered the personal property of the monarch; a move to avoid Ottoman and Egyptian protests as it is still technically an Ottoman province, merely occupied, and therefore separate from their other realms. Despite this those managing it tend to be from the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, and as the Neapolitan population slowly grows, there are calls to either formally incorporate it into the kingdom, or declare it a separate kingdom.
Ideology: Monarchism, colonialism, conservatism, mercantilism, nationalism, enlightened monarchism, seuclarism
Leader/s: King Charles II
Relations: good with some (like Britain) bad with some (like ottoman), idk enough about ic foreign relations yet.
Population Info
Brief Description of your people: The people of the Kingdom are split into three groups:
- The Aragonese
- The Italians/Neapolitans
- The Aragolitans
THE ARAGONESE
The Aragonese are the Western inhabitants of the Dual Kingdom. The Aragonese are primarily centered in East-coastal Iberia and the Balearic Islands. Aragonese minorities also make up the populations of the Kingdom of Naples and the condominium of Tripolitana. Aragonese culture is communal, Catholic, conservative, and very familial. Holidays and festivals, of which there are many yearly and periodically, are vibrant, widespread, involve everyone, and attract foreigners far and wide. Almost 80% of all Aragonese speak Catalan, with a majority of those 80% speaking Italian too, the co-official language of the Kingdom, and the remaining 20% speaking other Iberian languages/dialects, Italian, or Arabic.THE ITALIANS/NEAPOLITANS
The Neapolitans (as they’re mostly called because they make up the majority of Italian Aragon and in order to differentiate from the rest of Italy and the Italians) are the Eastern and insular inhabitants of the Dual Kingdom. The Neapolitans are primarily centered in Southern Italy (and its islands), the Balearic Islands, and Malta. There is a large Neapolitan minority in Tripolitana, making up 14% of the population there (succeeded by the Aragolitans and ethnic Berbers). Neapolitan culture is like Aragonese culture, as they have common Roman cultural roots. Neapolitans are a communal, Catholic, conservative (but more (in modern and OTL terms) centrist due to being the birthplace of the Renaissance and Enlightenment), somewhat secular/anti-clerical, and familial people. Holidays and festivals, which coincide with Catholic holidays with several offshoots, are usually based around family but multiple families can and usually do congregate to collectively celebrate festivities; and they are also vibrant like Aragonese festivities. Neapolitan holidays attract foreigners too. Neapolitans are, relatively, more linguistically diverse. Some three-quarters of Neapolitans speak Italian or the Neapolitan dialect, almost all of those three-quarters can comprehend/speak Catalan; one-quarter of Neapolitans speak Catalan or Arabic as a first language and Italian/Neapolitan as a second.THE ARAGOLITANS
The Aragolitans (named after a merging of Aragonese and Neapolitan) are a mixed minority of the Aragonese and Neapolitan peoples. The first Aragolitans and mentions of them occurred in the early 17th century, when Tripolitana was colonized by the Dual Kingdom. The Aragolitans are descendants of those originally unmixed Aragonese and Neapolitans who eventually did mix. Aragolitans make up 21% of the Tripolitanan population, with 51% being ethnic Berbers, 14% Neapolitan, 8% Aragonese, and the remaining 6% being foreign minorities.
Religion: Roman Catholicism with Protestant sects (in Tripolitana and diverse urban centers).
Ethnicity: See Brief description of your people
Main/Accepted Culture(s): Aragonese and Neapolitan cultures
Other Cultures: Arabic, other Iberian cultures, other Italian cultures, and the minor Hellenic and French cultures brought by Hellenic and French minorities in Corsica and Tripolitana.
Military Info
Army: Army of the Crown of Aragon: 42,000 - Generally of high quality, issues from recent centralisation present but minor
Army of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies: 85,000 - Generally of high quality, issues from recent centralisation present but minor
Navy: Despite opposition the navies of the two main polities have been largely centralised, though officially it is two navies:
Royal Navy - Marina Reial - Marine Reale
45 Man o' Wars
21 Steam Paddle Frigates
76 Sail Frigates
8 Rowing Frigates
85 Merchant Ships of various sizes suitable for immediate impressment
Other Info
Brief Description of your Economy: Mercantilist economy influenced by Catholic distributist economics; Catholic influence also has made the Dual Kingdom’s economy an early/proto-welfare state; reasonable employment; standard levels of unemployment; acceptable gross and net national incomes; large amounts of centralization, nationalization, and state interventionism.
Goals: Establish a colonial empire like France, the U.K., and other nations have; spread Catholicism; achieve total unity amongst the two Kingdoms (possibly even merging into one); dominate the Mediterranean; modernize both the Dual Kingdom’s technology but society (without angering Catholic clergy and followers, conservatives, and reactionaries); and reunite Italian peninsula (under Aragonese-Neapolitan control)
History: Simple history: Crown of Aragon forms in the 15th century, a couple things happen and it’s turned into a co-ruled composite monarchy. Some colonization also happens in the 16th century and so now it has Tripolitana. Oh and it’s named the “Dual Kingdom of Aragon and Naples”. After Tripolitana it stopped colonizing cuz it couldn’t rly afford it and all. Then the Enlightenment happens and mercantilism becomes popular in the 17th century and the Dual Kingdom becomes a cultural and economic center of Europe, making it a powerful and prosperous place. During the republican revolutions of the 18th century and early-19th the Kingdom establishes the three legislatures and democratized. This makes those republican doods in the Kingdom happy so the Kingdom doesn’t collapse. Now it’s 1848, accept me now.

Government Info
Government Type: Commonwealth?
Brief Explanation of Government: Emperor -> National Assembly -> Constituent States/Emperor -> Constituent States -> National Assembly and on occasion Constituent States -> Emperor -> National Assembly. The Emperor is elected from the four rulers of the Kingdoms of Poland, The Grand Dukedom of Lithuania, The Tsardom of Russia, and the Hetmanate of Kiev, by the nobility of all fours realms following the death of the Monarch. This elective council of nobility also serves as the National Assembly but, within this National Assembly all four nations are equally represented with a total of 150 Representatives from each Kingdom. It is up to the various states on how representatives are chosen, Poland and Lithuania both elect theirs while Muscovy appoints all of theirs. Kiev has a mixture where it both appoints and elects their representatives.
Ideology: There isn't one ideology rather multiple and it all differs between each state within the the Commonwealth and usually differs extremely from state to state.
Leader/s: Emperor and Hetman Vasily Orlov-Denisov of Kiev
(Subservient dejurely, to the Emperor, de facto Independent )
King Stanisław Grabowski of Poland
Tsar Nicholas I Romanov of Russia
Grand Duke Casimir Cichocki of Lithuania
RelationsThe Commonwealth maintains trade relations with Great Britain and several other Western Countries. However, each of the Kingdoms can make their own foreign policy to a degree. They may not form alliances or wage war without consent of the Emperor, however the current Kievan Emperor has allowed each state to pursue their own foreign policy with the exception of making war. However, this has not stopped Poland and Muscovy from planning them. Overall the Commonwealth only maintains good relations with Great Britain, Greece, and the American Federal Commonwealth.
Population Info
Brief Description of your people: I’m not going to even gonna bother to provide details on the culture just label it under ‘Eastern European.’
Religion: There is no official religion within the Commonwealth due to the Second Treaty of Minsk, which recognizes that each monarch of each individual realm gets to decide what religion is the official religion within their realm.
Ethnicity: Numerous ethnic groups are present throughout the Commonwealth, the majority being, Polish, Lithuanian, Russian, Byelorussian, Ukrainian, and Turks.
Main/Accepted Culture(s):Polish, Russian, Lithuanian, and Ukrainian
Other Cultures: Everyone else under the sun
Military Info
Army: While the military was meant to be under one unified command under the original terms of the Commonwealth, following the Commonwealth Civil War (1805-1814) and the decentralization of the Commonwealth, the Imperial military was cut down to only whatever forces the Emperor could muster from his own lands, as well has being able to handpick 6,000 men from each state to form the Imperial Guard. However, states are allowed to contribute larger numbers if they so wish to. Despite this, all the forces of the States are considered to be part of the Imperial Military just under Independent Commands.
The quality and training of the Commonwealth military varies from state to state. Poland is considered to be the best equipped and trained with Lithuania second, Russia third, and Kiev fourth with its irregulars. The Imperial Army is the elite troops hand selected by the Emperor or Empress himself.
Imperial Military
930,000 Men
Navy: Basically the same situation as the Army. Please Note below does not include the schooners or other possible ships that could be or are pressed into the service of the Imperial Navy.
61 Man o' Wars

Brief Description of your Economy: Varys from each Kingdom with Russia and Kiev keeping a tight leash on the economy and closely linking it to the State while Lithuania and Poland practice more free market economies. Poland and Lithuania are well developed with many roads being somewhat paved and while Kiev and Russia are not with the majority of roads being unpaved dirt paths. The Commonwealth actively trades with its neighbors and more importantly Great Britain.
Goals: Centralize the State, Beat the Ottomans and Hungarians, Prep for Persian Conflicts, and possibly erode the German Confederation
History:
Treaty of Minsk: 1572-1670
1571: Signing of the Treaty of Minsk unifying the realms of Poland Lithuania and Russia into one single Commonwealth with Ivan IV. However as part of the treaty, each nation maintains a separate ruler and the position of King is elevated to Emperor to represent its status over the three realms.
1584: Following the Death of Ivan IV, for fear of Russia leaving the Commonwealth, his son Feodor the First is elected in hopes of tying the three realms securely together.
1600: At the End of Feodor's reign, with his death, his brother Boris Godunov was selected to be his heir. His short reign would be the beginning of the Time of Troubles in Russia.
1616: Following a large famine and the short lived Peasants Kingdom formed during the Russian Peasant Revolt, which was put down with Lithuanian and Polish arms, the Romanovs were selected by a national assembly of Boyars with the guidance of Polish-Lithuanian Arms.
1630: An attempted Boyar revolt threatening the Romanov power base by challenging the national assembly vote is viciously stomped out by Micheal Romanov who would go onto virtually stomp out any real authority the Boyars had instead making the title of Boyar more of a administrative title rather then one of nobility.
1665-1670: Commonwealth-Cossack-Tatar War
Treaty of Kiev: 1671-1804
1671: Treaty of Kiev
1690s: First Commonwealth Ottoman War
1720s: First Northern War
1730s: Second Commonwealth Ottoman War
1750s: Seven Years War(?)
1790s: Second Northern War
1801: Reign of Paul I begins while his reign was short it was the cause for the inevitable Commonwealth Civil War that had been slowly brewing since the end of the Seven Years War and the Second Northern War. What the immediate cause would be is his attempts at permanently centralizing all four states into a cohesive bond under the monarchy, replacing the monarchs with more of governors and shifting the dependence from the states to the Monarch. However he did push for the Monarchy to still be elected and to maintain the electors in hopes of "preventing the dominance of one state above all."
Commonwealth Civil War: 1805-1814
Congress of Vienna and a Republican Commonwealth: 1815-1822
The Time between the Congress of Vienna and the end of the Commonwealth Civil War marked a new era in the Commonwealth with the Republican Factions winning but, they still maintained the Monarchy which would inevitably be their failing in the Revolution of 1822 which forced the Republican Government out by way of popular revolt. The election for the Monarchy was held soon after with the Kievan Hetman easily winning as he was seen as the last true "neutral" in the great debate over centralization as now the Russians and Poles prepare to settle soon.
Reign of the Hetman: 1822-Present
Nothing of note has been marked under the Hetman despite his stance of maintaining the Status Quo in Europe and in the Commonwealth which has caused the whole nation to reach a boiling point.

Wu: Rival - Wu is a rival state with a superior army and inferior navy. Luckily for now they are at a gridlock due to Min's terrain and Yue backing in the event of war, but Qian could change things
Qian: Enemy - Qian is changing things in China, and Min isn't a big fan of that
Britain: Possibility - Britain could be a friend or foe, or a possible tool. Current foreign policy is to limit their expansion, or if this is a failure to use it against them or to Min's advantage.
Other Chinese states: buffers and others - The Chinese states around Min are buffers against threats such as Qian, and a possible expansionist Wu. The rest are buffers against the others.
Europe: Barbarians
Korea: Possibility - Possible allies against Wu and Qian, or a possible enemy.
India: Dangerous clay
Japan: Clay
Africa: Clay
Population Info
Brief Description of your people: Pretty much just localised Han (or Tang I guess) people from what I can gather, speaking the various Min dialects amongst others, and the various peoples of the empire - Malays, Indians, Austronesians etc.
Religion: Largely folk religion, minorities of Islam, Christianity, native religions, syncretic cults, etc. The Gov. doesn't actively take any stance as long as they don't get up to any mischief
Ethnicity: Orientalese
Main/Accepted Culture(s): Han (mainly those who speak the Min dialects, but that's mainly just a prestige thing and relatively unimportant)
Other Cultures: Indians, Malays, Austronesians, any other peoples of the colonies that I've missed.
Military Info
Army: Weaker than the Wu and Yue, since it gets less focus and is less prestigious than the navy, merchant or military, it stands at around ~180,000 in peacetime on paper though less than around 110,000 are actually combat ready in any capacity. While lacking in numbers, training and spirit, they are generally pretty well-equipped and when actually trained they are at a good standard. The best soldiers tend to be in the colonies, of which an undetermined number are. Indians are also used extensively in the colonies though they receive the worst of training and equipment as expected.
Navy: Second only to the Yue, the Min navy is amongst the best in the world and its main role is to protect its maritime empire. Though accepting of some western innovations, Min prefers to keep to the Chinese standard in tactics and design. There are a large amount of smaller ships, largely as escorts, privateers, harassers, etc., while it maintains around 42 standard warships, and 26 of what would be considered in the west 'Ships-of-the-Line'
Other Info
Brief Description of your Economy: Along the coast it is rather well developed and industrialised, and this is where most of the population tends to be, while further inland is more sparse, agricultural and mountains. As a maritime power most of its wealth comes from internal and external trade so that is really the key part of its economy. Railways are largely limited to connecting the coastal cities, which helps in creating almost two separate economies between inland and coast.
Goals: - Conquer stuff
- Not get conquered by other stuff
- Keep Wu and Yue at arms length
- Get Qian to chill out
History: After the Tang dynasty fell Fujian province became largely independent and its governor named himself king. Skip forward a few centuries and after submitting to the Yuan then rebelling the king and his family are executed, the provinces agree to a regency that last fifty years until they decide to copy Yue because that looks good. Begins gaining colonies as rivalry with Wu and Yue intensifies, and the more colonies it gets the more powerful companies get until they begin calling the shots. In the present day it's undergone some reforms to make the government do more stuff but beyond the mainland the companies still have a lot of swing.

Yed indeed it is my friend, simply that the activity is on discord and posts don't have to be up in lightning flashes. People take much time into putting story and such into their posts, but this is most definitely open. We are actually looking for more players for the German states, so if you're interested in that or anything else please join!
