Your application only lists Denmark as your location. It says that you federated with the Nordics in your history, but since your location was just listed as Denmark, I assumed you broke off.
I think I accepted your final app with the location in mind as solely Denmark.
I don’t think that the other Nordic countries would take kindly to being under Denmark again either.

I thought this game had a map, and on the map was Denmark-Norway.

Vrijstaat Limburg wrote:All these Calvinist Dutch confederacy shenanigans are making me think... How would you guys think about a Catholic / Southern Dutch revolt? Both Orangist monarchism and republicanism were ideals of the Protestant Dutch upper classes, and the fact that most of the annual budget is spent on the navy, (maritime) infrastructure in the Northern (Protestant-owned) territories and colonial maintenance would probably not sit very well with the Catholic masses in the South, who were formerly put to work in vast coal mines so said Protestant aristocrats could fuel their warships and factories, or had to toil in meadows so that their overlords could feast. Since the French like the Dutch somewhat, I’d imagine that Flemish and Walloon elements could be kept from rising up, but what of those Dutch bordering the German territories? Eupen, Limburg and Brabant could perhaps subscribe to a Burgundian culture over an Orangist / Dutch one and cause a small revolt? I’d like to lead such a small country if possible.

My location meaning Denmark, is located in Northern Europe. The picture that I have provided shows the exact location of the mainland plus the history explains.
I meant that it is located in "Northern Europe", and then referred to Denmark, my nation, being located there.
Well, only Sweden (I think) would not really like it, but it's all really just Scandinavia, so I think it would be possible. I did not use.Finland or Estonia, so it's not all the nordic countries.

Brief History: Breaking off from Spain in 1843, a fragile republic managed to seize all of Venezeula from colonial control. After large-scale expansion and development, Almadaria had an economic peak, producing most of the world's sugar for a time. However, other aspects of the economy were severely neglected and economic crash followed. The ineptitude of the Republic showed, so a revolution brought down the old government and established the somewhat more authoritarian Democratic Republic. In 1972, civil war broke out between the Republicans, who would go on to form the Almadarian Nationalist Party, and a Communist influence, who would be largely banished after their defeat. The Almadarian Nationalist Party, now in control of the Democratic Republic, quickly sought to remove "subversive" elements from Almadaria. In La Masacre Silenciosa, thousands were torn from their homes based on reports of their neighbors of subversive behavior and were supposedly shipped off across the Atlantic-- no records of ships used during this purge show them ever having docked on the other side of the ocean.
Today, the Democratic Republic maintains a dictatorial control over their country, while maintaining an active diplomatic and political presence, giving support to causes they deem worthy and being quick to act in events abroad.

Leader: Mustafa Salih
Leader Title: President
Government Type: Federal Constitutional Monarchy
The United Kingdom is comprised of Jordan and Iraq. While the central government maintains supremacy in fiscal, monetary, defense and foreign affairs, all other areas of governance are devolved to the states.
The United Kingdom has a bicameral parliament, the Congress. The Senate has 40 Senators, 22 from Iraq and 18 from Jordan. They are elected for a term of six years; elections are staggered so that a third of the seats (13) are up for election every two years. The House of Representatives is comprised of 400 MPs, elected nationally in single-member districts, with a first-past-the-post system.
The head of state is the King, belonging to the House of the Hashemite Dynasty; the current King is Abdullah II. The King is nominally the commander of the armed forces and signs every legislation brought to him by the Congress. He has little powers in practice and is a figurehead. The head of government is the President, elected every four years. The President is elected directly; he needs to win a majority of the 400 electoral districts to get elected (201 districts). The elections are first-past-the-post and nation-wide percentage is irrelevant.
Iraq and Jordan have their own parliaments and governments. Iraq's capital is Baghdad and Jordan's is Amman.
Jordan has a unicameral parliament (Parliament of Jordan) comprised of 150 MPs. Its state government is led by the Prime Minister, who is usually the leader of the largest party in parliament and needs the confidence of the parliament to remain in government. Elections take place every five years.
Iraq is comprised of 19 Governorates, who act as federal units with broad autonomy. Iraq had a bicameral parliament: the Senate of Iraq comprised of 38 Senators (two for every Governorate) elected for five years term and the House of Representatives of Iraq, comprised of 300 MPs elected nation-wide for four years term. The state government of Iraq is led by the Prime Minister, elected every four years by an Electoral College: each Governorate gets one vote in the college.
This complex and devolved system of governance is meant to satisfy and balance the various ethnic and religious groups that make up the country. A two party system has emerged: the center-right Islamic Liberty Party and the center-left Progressive Alliance.
Population: 49,210,000
Manpower (Note; Manpower must not exceed 10% of population, and if it goes above 7%, it will be severely underfunded as will your other needs): 130,000 active personnel

Location: Jordan, Iraq
Brief History:
Since they achieved independence from their colonial masters, there had been numerous attempts to unite Jordan and Iraq. In 1958, the Kingdoms of Iraq and Jordan united to form the Arab Federation of Iraq and Jordan, merging the two Hashemite Kingdoms. A military coup removed the King in Iraq, however, causing chaos. A new arrangement was agreed with the new Iraqi government in 1960, the so-called Mosul Accords that established the United Kingdom of Jordan and Iraq. The arrangement defined the powers of the monarch (the King of Jordan, who now assumed also the Iraqi monarchy) and ensured broad autonomy for the two states.
In the 1960s the new Kingdom faced internal challenges, as there were opponents of the union in both countries. At the same time, the country was becoming increasingly authoritarian, with President Abd al-Karim Qasim ruling as a strongman. In the 1970s, though, the Kingdom began to liberalize politically and by the early 1980s it had evolved into a stable, two-party constitutional monarchy. The newer generations had come to accept the union as a settled affair. The country was still lagging behind economically though.
In the 1990s, the Kingdom underwent two radical reforms: Iraq itself became a federal state with the establishment of Governorates and the economy was liberalized, following the collapse of Soviet communism. A wave of privatizations and tax cuts were legislated, leading to increasing rates of economic growth. The Kingdom has since then emerged as an ally of the West in the Middle East, though it retains animosity towards Israel. It ranks highly on political liberty, but the country is still fairly conservative when it comes to religion, women's and LGBT rights. While the economy has been growing thanks to free-market reforms and a pro-business agenda, it still lags behind fully developed countries in Europe and North America.

I'm not so sure. The events there were RPed in mid-2020s and this RP starts in January, so I don't think so. Plus, it may cause confusion for the Italian, German, Austrian, Russian and Nordic players in the future if you reference it with them.

Firstly, no East Asian holdings. You also don’t own Utah.
Asides that, you can increase your military as well. You have the privilege of going upwards of 1 million active troops.
