A War of Blood and Steel [Althis|PT|OOC|Ended]

[Countesia]

I see.

Fair enough. I did make a few attempts to make diplomatic connections and buy some German equipment but nobody ever replied to me. Oh well

Is reapplying a possible thing? Brazil would be fun.

I'm sorry, we completely missed that no one had answered to you. If you feel like you don't have what to do in the IC, you could always tell us here in the OOC - that applies to everyone.

You can certainly reapply, and Brazil is indeed free right now

Don't be sorry. I probably should've have been more proactive. I'll have an app up tomorrow or so

[The Imperial Warglorian Empire]

I did not expect this, but we can certainly make it so that the Danubian ambassador is killed, leading to heightened tensions

There was no action happening, so I saw my chance and lobbed my bets.

Considering the assassin lobbed two grenades into the general area of the ambassadors, the German ambassador was possibly injured or killed too.

Whatever causes the most drama.

Ah, I completely forgot about that, Soz man.

[New Provenance]

Whoever decided to lob grenades outside the Houses of Parliament in Ottawa is a GENIUS, I have so many RP ideas now XD

[Intermountain States]

Well, that escalated quickly

Some of his inner thoughts and what he says gives several very obvious clues.

Well, that escalated quickly

Well, even if the main target would have seemed to be the German ambassador, and even if the assassin would have shouted anticommunist chants, you could bet that Danubia would still blame Germany and communism for it

Hopefully, my ambassador to your country didn't die in the attack.

[Remnants of Exilvania]

I feel the need to let the IRO operate abroad for some assassinations as well.

Ain't nothing better than those ultranat Bulgarians running around.

Are you going to be the Empire of Brazil?

[Countesia]

Are you going to be the Empire of Brazil?

Actually no. I'm at work so I can't do an official reservation but I plan to o RP as the United States of Central America. Basically southern Mexico and Central America. If you want to be Brazil, smash it.

Nope, I'm playing as Gran Colombia.

Well I left it open ended precisely so people can pick and choose whether their guy died or not.

Just remember, the guy lobbed two grenades at them. So escaping unscathed is unlikely.

Nation Application

Full Nation Name: Federal Republic of Central American States (República Federal de Centroamérica)

Short Nation Name: Central American States

National Symbols: Flag of the República Federal de Centroamérica

Capital: San Salvador Federal District

Territory: Territory of the Federal Republic of Central America

Form of Government: Federal Congressional Republic

Head of State/Government: President Ernesto Bolivar

Ideology: Central American Civic Nationalism

Population: 10,160,000

• Guatemala 2.1 Million
  
• El Salvador - 1.9 Million
  
• Nicaragua - 1.7 Million
  
• Honduras - 1.5 Million
  
• Costa Rica - 1.3 Million
  
• Chiapas - 830,000
  
• Los Altos 510,000
  
• Belize - 320,000

Military Description: The Military of the Federal Republic of Central American States currently stands at 115,000 enlisted personnel and 60,000 reserve personnel. Its equipment is a mixture of domestically manufactured copies of German firearms and vehicles produced under licence as well as German equipment purchased outright from the German Empire. Attempts are being made to become develop home-grown designs, but the small manufacturing sector of the nation has stunted those efforts.

Its navy largely consists of a handful of light cruisers, coastal defence gunboats and torpedo boats. Its forces are split between two coastlines which requires traversing the Panama canal should either fleet need reinforcements, which comes at the discretion of occupying US forces.

Tech Tree: Spanish.

Economic Description: The economy of the Federal Union of Central American States is largely agrarian, exporting several million tonnes of crops internationally, including rice, banana, sugar cane and coffee beans. The manufacturing industry is largely concentrated around the state of El Salvador, with 34% of its GDP coming from industries such as textiles, precious metals and petroleum. The remaining states see only 15-20% of its GDP coming from industries outside of agriculture. In the early years of the Federation the current member states pledged large portions of their treasuries towards improving the infrastructure of their nation, primarily its railroads which were necessary to cut through the mountainous terrain of the region in order bring shipments of produce to the nations ports for global export. The idea of a canal built to link both coastlines of Nicaragua is starting to gain traction, and several congressional meetings have been held to entertain the idea.

Goals: Secure its continued independence from its neighbouring powers of Mexico and Gran Colombia, to forge alliances with Europe to strengthen its position. Build its own alternative to the Panama canal.

Point of Divergence: July 1823

History: Almost three years after the Mexican War of Independence that overthrew the government of New Spain, the First Mexican Empire collapsed in on itself largely due to internal strife and multiple armed revolts against the monarchy which would eventually force the Emperor to abdicate the throne, handing over power to a provisional government that would eventually reorganise itself into the First Mexican Republic. During this tumultuous period of political upheaval, the southernmost Mexican States took this opportunity to declare their independence from the now defunct empire, having spent years feeling disconnected from the politics of its northern neighbours.

However, many in knew that Mexico would not stay dead for long, and fearing retaliation from the First Mexican Republic the newly independent states chose to form a defensive treaties of their own to rival its neighbour, which would eventually coalesce into the founding of the Federal Republic of Central American States.

Despite its newfound unity, there was no hiding many of these newly founded states possessed deep political divisions between conservative and liberal factions in government. Fearing that this would lead to a future civil war, the treaties that would go on to form the Federations constitution would considerably limit the power the Congress and the Senate possessed. The signatory states would only acknowledge the federal governments supreme authority over matters of military defence and international relations, although many branches of governments would be formed that the states would willingly heed the authority of.

The newest member of the Federal Republic of Central America is the nation of Belize, a former Spanish territory turned British crown colony which was granted independence from Great Britain shortly after the Great War. Sparsely populated and largely English speaking, Belize petitioned for membership within a short few months of its independence largely for its own protection. This led to English being recognised as a regional language and the addition of a large African minority to the nations populace.

Don't mind at all

What's the current date here?

We haven't enforced a particularly strict chronology or dating system, but the general date should probably be around summer 1937.

Some individual posts might still be in the past, but what we should be in is summer, i.e. upcoming posts by people should aim to be set in summer.

Am I accepted?

Sorry, both Exil and I have gotten a little distracted in the past few days, we'll review your app shortly, there shouldn't be any major issues

Sorry for the long delay - overall the app looks great. One small mention - the Tech Tree section should simply contain "Spanish", as that's going to be your tech tree, that specific field in the app is meant to represent domestic tech only.

And the mentions of German licenses go in the military section, where they are - so with that little fix, accepted!
