General Information

Full Nation Name: The Kingdom-Empire of Broncia (das Königskaiserreich der Broncia)
Short Nation Name: Broncia
National Demonym: Broncian
Capital City: Bronsonburg

Requested Map Location: Claim

Short Description of National History:

Broncia began circa 580 CE, with the North Sea Periphery coming to an end and sea levels falling, leading to large amounts of land in the Low Countries now becoming habitable. Haar, founder of Broncia, simply set off into the lands to build a home for himself, but eventually attracted others into a small town. It was crisoned Bronsonburg, then creating the von Bronson royal family and naming Haar von Bronson. Seeing himself as the leader of his people, the Bronsi, Haar created an army and marched men all across the plains of these new lands, creating new settlements and conquering old ones, and was named King of the Bronsi by the Catholic Church, eventually evolving into the Kingdom of Broncia.

This new Kingdom only comprised of the coastal regions of Northern Mainland Broncia (Mostly friesland and holland), but over time it grew. There were dozens of wars on other kings and dukes and nations in the low countries, which Broncia sought itself the owner of, and they most all proved successful, leading to a slow but steady increase of land in Broncia throughout the middle ages. As the middle ages came to a close, Broncia joined in the many other nations converting from Catholocism to Protenstantism.

Later, in colonialist times, Broncia began seeking far for colonies to amass wealth and power for the Kingdom-Empire. Seeing as it was often passed, the Cape of good hope appeared as a great location for trade, and as such the Broncia's first colony Käp was founded. Soon after, many islands below Käp were colonized and eventually the remaining islands in the Carribian were formed in Broncia's last efforts of mass colonization.

During the industrial revolution, there was significant change. Mainland Broncia experienced a massive density, population, and economic boom, and with it came demands of reform from its newly well-off and educated citizens. In being a fairly benevolent ruler in touch with his people, Karl IV thought it time that Broncia could incorporate an amount of democracy into itself, and thus was founded the Parliament, along with the slow but steady replacement of lesser nobility in cities and administrative districts with councils and such, though the original feudal titles wouldn't be entirely eradicated or stripped of total power.

In 1845, the King of England died, and with no children or living immediate relatives along with a history of royal mairrage, the ruling monarch of Broncia was declared holder of the English throne, thus establishing a Personal Union with Broncia as its major partner. However, in the way that it occured, the Kingdoms of Wales and Scotland were not a part of the personal union, and as such were disunified from the greater English realm.

[Insert something about the great war, I don't know enough about it or if it even still exists in canon to write about it yet.]

Bringing us to today, where Broncia still maintains an amount of its past, particularly due to the Königskaiser still having significant power, but also looking into the future and emerging as a somewhat significant power.

General Information

Full Nation Name: Sun Kingdom of Aelturia
Short Nation Name: Aelturia
National Demonym: Aelturian, Ael, Aelish
Capital City: Ajyabulis (de facto), Iilyusika (de jure)

Requested Map Location: http://i.imgur.com/XfzOAWN.png

Short Description of National History: The Aels of the Aelturian Peninsula emerged from the decline of the Seleucid Empire's control over the Middle East, gaining local soverignty that resulted in the rise of the early Aelturian city states from 150-50 BC. The Seleucid's legacy over the peninsula resulted in a cultural blending of Greek language and beliefs, alongside indigenous beliefs, and the earliest available Aelturian written scripts are entirely in ancient Greek. The 1st century allowed the rise of the Aelturian kingdoms, and a centuries-long period of warfare known as the Harb al-Muluk, or the Kings' War. It was not until the 500s that the modern-day Aelturian Kingdom began to emerge; ushering in a period of cultural and economic development in the Peninsula.

Aelturia's location was of considerable economic importance for most of history. Before the creation of the Suez Canal, the kingdom was home to thousands of trade routes from Europe to Asia. The famous Silk Road had routes that passed through, and traders from Europe and Aeuria made their fortunes in the lands. While facilitating the trading of culture between Aeuria and Europe, the economic prosperity of Aelturia also introduced foreign cultures and works. 1440-1606 is generally viewed as the Aistieada: the Restoration period.

In 1908, an Aeurian-backed Aelturian company discovered oil under the sands of Migaliktasis, setting off a wave of foreign and domestic exploration and development, with the evolution of Aelturia into the status of a first world country. Modernization was an important part of the first half of the 20th century, with automobiles and roads being introduced to the major coastal cities.

Demographics and Culture

Official Language: Aelturian, Greek
List Regional Languages: Aeurian Latin, French, Persian, Chinese (Zagros dialect)
Is there a National/State religion?: Shamsia / Shamsian

Short Description of Culture: Aelturian culture is a blend of indigenous beliefs and peninsula lifestyles that were affected by Hellenization from the Seleucids. Life is centered around Shamsian religious beliefs, with a focus on familial relationships and sub-national allegiances. Languages are centered around non-Greek and Greek scripts, the Aelturian language mostly compatible with both. Literature, art, music, philosophy, spirituality and mysticism are all important aspects. Society is generally divided between the nomadic peoples of the interior, and the modernized Aelturians in the cities. Each lesser kingdom has its own cultural traditions, and people living in the northern cities are more Hellenized than those from the south.

Generosity and politeness are stereotypes of the Aelturian people, and their speech is usually seen as respectful and softly spoken. Loyalty is seen as a important part of Aelturian honor, ranging from friends and family to kingdom loyalty and national oaths of faith. This has caused conflict with the modernization brought on from Aeuria and the west, as the individualistic aspects of foreign society don't apply. Aelturians rarely move far from their families and hometowns, and the importance of the group over the individual is both ingrained by law and religion.

Short Nation Name: Polonia
National Demonym: Polonian(s)
Capital City: Algiers

Requested Map Location: Algeria, Libya, Tunisia
Short Description of National History: In March 23,1549, the Polonian Queendom was founded. According to their religion, the female was the dominant gender, therefore, every ruler has been a queen. The nation has always sought to be an industrial leader, military power, and world power. At the turn of the Industrial Revolution, the Polonian Queendom established itself as an industrial power and has not slowed down since. Regarding regional influence, the Queendom has always sought to expand its influence. In 1979, the Polonian Army invaded their Libyan neighbors and successfully forced them to become part of the Queendom. In recent years, the Queendom has been a peacekeeper in the region, but with the newly crowned Queen Rana, she looks to start the process of expansion once again.
The Queendom of Polonia is limited in its trade exports, but has a high output of crude oil. This is one reason Polonia looks to expand.

Short Description of Culture: On a national level, the only elections in the kingdom are that for members of the local government, who are chosen from each state on a basis on singular representation. Serving as a privy council, the members of the council exist to supply the Crown with reference and advice. Very few actually make key decisions that actually effect the government.

On a personal level, Polonians value loyalty over all. They believe that when loyalty is valued, then any relationship can thrive. Polonians take an interest in the arts and musical aspect of the world. The citizens are for the most part united but there are small pockets in the country that are divided. Since there are very few government leaders, there are low levels of corruption.

Requested Map Location: http://i.imgur.com/EoqkV1A.png?1

Short Description of National History: Carpavonia was founded in the 7th century by migrating Slavs, setting up early tribal institutions before the spread of Catholicism caused the conversion of the land and the creation of the kingdom in 756. The country has had a relatively peaceful existence due to its natural geography and historical citizens' militias, because of this Carpavonia has never been conquered or subjugated in full, able to resist invasion through careful application of military defenses and diplomatic means. The Great Schism had a poor effect on the country, dividing most of the southern portions under eastern Orthodoxy. While in the modern day Catholicism is the dominant religion, religious compromises and treaties helped form tolerance between both groups.

Carpavoninans are viewed as friendly, easy-going people with a reverence for folk-lore and historic conventions. Solitary and small close-knit families are common outside of major cities, owing to the "mountain lifestyle" that many Carpathian Slavs share throughout the nation. Public service is considered important and the government has long maintained conscription, which remains popular and is seen as a chance to develop new experiences.

General Information

Full Nation Name: Federal Republic of the Danube
Short Nation Name: Danube Republic or Danubian Republic
National Demonym: Danubian
Capital City: Vienna

Requested Map Location: Austria, Czech Rep., Slovakia, Hungary

Short Description of National History: The Federal Republic of the Danube's history emerges primarily from that of the Austrian Empire, of which its modern-day territory was a major central component. The empire was a multi-ethnic and multicultural association of Hungarians, German-Austrians, Czechs and Slovakians alongside other breakaway groups. Towards the opening years of the 20th century, the stability of the empire was plagued with ethnic revolts and disagreements between the constituent kingdoms and provinces of the country. Hungarians felt better served with a greater political say; the Slavic Czechs and Slovaks desired democratic freedoms and self-rule; and the Austrian population grew disenchanted with the monarchy and aristocratic state. Instability soon turned to civil conflicts, birthing the Danube Idea - a commitment to organizing the four major ethnicities along equal lines. While initially favoring a continuation of a constitutional monarchy, the threats of the Czechs and Slovaks to pursue independence ended the idea.

The abdication of the monarchy was a necessity and the act permitted the four ethnic groups the ability to decide the course of the Danubian government without autocratic influence. Initially the Hungarians were skeptical of continuing, noting that the agreements would see the loss of their Romanian and South Slavic lands, but after further independence movements emerged, the ability of the Hungarians to keep their own "Little Empire" together was doubtful. Hungary agreed to the treaty, recognizing that they would be otherwise alone if not.

In current times the political landscape of the Federal Republic is vast, with many differences between the four constituent countries adding to the already shaky foundations. While some fear that the Danube Idea will eventually fail, the majority of citizens on all sides support the continuation of the republic. Other vocal minorities argue that while the Austrian Empire faded away, the influence of the Austrians is unmistakably still present, and that the Danubian Republic is plagued by the united interests of the German-speaking areas of Hungary and Czech.

Short Description of Culture: The culture of the Danube Republic is divided between the four major ethnicities, the Austrians, Czechs, Slovaks and Hungarians. Each state maintains full rights over culture and education, allowing a steady adherence to the traditional lifestyles that each nation enjoys. Cultural complications arise in the placing of the Germans in Czech and the Austrians in Hungary into a certain group - while not being full Hungarians or Czechs, they reside in those respective states and face their education and cultural beliefs. However, and especially in the socio-political circles, the Germans identify more with the Austrian state and their power-bloc is usually exercised in the defense of the German-Austrian culture beyond the state's borders.

General Information

Full Nation Name: The Military Directorate of Britain
Short Nation Name: British Directorate
National Demonym: British, Briton
Capital City: London

Requested Map Location: British Isles

Short Description of National History: In 1919 the War of Irish Independence set off a series of cataclysmic events for United Kingdom. With Irish revolutionaries threatening British control over the island, the Crown ordered the enforcement of martial law and military jurisdiction over the entire landmass. What was intended to dull the flames of the Republicans and allow the British government time to act instead turned to controversy. A murder of British intelligence agents in Dublin inflamed members of the military, who felt that the Crown was being too soft on the Republicans. In response, the troops enforcing martial law in Dublin acted against orders, launching a campaign against dissidents in the city. During the following firefights, a number of houses were set fire to, which resulted in the Burning of Dublin. Similar actions also took place in Cork and Belfast, where members of the police force and military acted without the consent of the government.

The Crown quickly reacted to prevent an outright war with the Irish, punishing and imprisoning a number of the soldiers involved, and trying the leaders on charges of treason against the nation. This proved rapidly unpopular with the armed forces, who saw the government as betraying their own; focusing instead on appeasing the Republicans. In 1921 a truce between the two sides was signed, but was quickly invalidated as both pro-union Irish and British citizens turned to paramilitary warfare: forming the Saint George's Legion and the smaller NBM (National British Militia). Loyalties in the military began to be tested in the following years and many regiments shared sympathies with the groups; either deserting to serve with them in Ireland or siphoning army equipment for them.

In 1923 the military's leadership, armed with the support of nationalized masses, overthrew the government and instituted military rule over the country. The act came on the heel of the creation of the Briton's Front, a political movement supported by veterans that was quickly declared illegal. Rapidly the military orchestrated a purge of the government's upper echelons, abolishing the monarchy and forcing the royal family into exile, and revoked the truce that would have granted Ireland independence. With the support of the military and veteran associations, alongside a promise to union groups to represent their interests, Army General Andrew Fowler established a military directorate.

Is there a National/State religion?: Secular

Short Description of Culture: The culture of the British Directorate is heavily focused around military service and civic duties. Traits of self-sacrifice and perseverance are respected and considered hallmarks of a good citizen. The concept of "service for the national good" or "nation before self" is promoted from school to military boot camp, and for many British citizens, their identity is closely tied to the conscripted regiments they serve and train alongside. The country values the notion of camaraderie and friendship among the ranks, and in the latter half of the past century worked to integrate all services for citizens, regardless of race or sex.

Intelligence, tact and competitiveness are some of the most valued traits that a person can have in the country. Those that perform well in school are often picked aside and recognized for their skills, and military and civil service is based around performance instead of rank or network. Due to this, the British are often seen as rather meritocratic, in that extremely-skilled individuals quickly rise to the top; and the country lacks arbitrary restrictions of age and other modifiers.

Short Nation Name: Khedrovina
National Demonym: khedrovinan
Capital City: Reebiskal

Requested Map Location:

What is left of Poland on the map + the Balkans (Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia)

Short Description of National History: Khedrovina is an Eastern European nation whose people's ancestry dates back to the Scythian and Sarmatian tribes that colonized the region in ancient times (originating from near the black sea) as the national language still attests to. (Khedrovina is not Slavic, just want to make that clear) It was a Catholic duchy for most of the medieval era and secured the title of kingdom in the late middle ages. The most significant part of it's history however is in the early 20th century when the catholic church in the country, contrary to most other countries broke their ties with Rome and sided with the socialist/communist revolutionaries. Dropping their support for the king. This led to the catholic conservative party merging with the socialist party creating solidargmert, the Christian socialist party who went on to win the elections in a landslide. After an attempted coup by royal loyalists solidargmert tightend it's grip on society and turned it into a one party state. The political system of old remained largely intact however, although it did get modified. No council democracy was created. Instead a more or less traditional parliament with two chambers dominates the political system. The lower house is the parliament itself, seating the elected members of the only party, solidargmert. The second chamber is the council of patriarchs, housing the top representatives of the church. They can't draft laws, they can only approve or reject proposals from the lower house to keep them in line with the holy bible. (A bit like the house of lords but in a religious sense). This is mainly what the nation is about. It's actual behaviour is not entirely like a socialist state as the heavy Christian influence is a serious conservative element. It is very nationalistic, protectionist but also puts a lot of emphasis on community and fair distribution of the fruits of the means of production.

Short Description of Culture:

Very Eastern European. I haven't strictly defined it yet but I know I'm not going to use any Orthodox like architecture such as Russian or Ukrainian. Think, Hungary in architecture style... That kind of thing...

Socialist influence has also produced a surge in easy to construct, unassuming, cheap plattenbau apartment blocks, usually built around a church that acts as community center. Common ownership of lawnmowers, cars and the like is quite common as everyone is morally expected to contribute to the comminity he or she belongs to. The local priest is commonly seen as the head of the community although the inhabitants usually appoint a chairman for their meatings who more or less shares that responsibility with the priest.

Military service is an important part of life in Khedrovina. Since the creation of the republic emphasis on the nations military was increased. Many in the party where convinced that outside forces would try to overthrow the new regime or at least that there would be armed counterrevolutionary forces present in the country itself. This notion combined with the traditionalist duty sense of the Christians created a military that is deeply rooted in society. Statues honering the military are prsent throughout the entire country. The army even plays a significant economic role as new technology in Khedrovina is primarily devoloped for the armed forces and later shared with the civilian sector.

Short Description of National History: Vugravia was established as a kingdom following the migration of South Slavic peoples into Europe, although the unitary nature of the state did not come until much later. The northern regions were historically part of South German Marches, and Aralian colonization of the west has left pockets of Aralian influence throughout the country. The kingdom united in the 12th century, following the conquest of the German Marches, and the state developed into its modern form by the 16th century. Riding the border between Slavic and German/Latin Europe, Vugravia was influenced by a mixture of Catholic and Orthodox practices, and German minorities rose to historical importance in the Slavic state.

The Vugravian constitution was adopted in 1781, ending the Balkan Absolutist Age and uniting the various minorities of the nation under a unitary representative democracy.

General Information

Full Nation Name: Kingdom of Belyia
Short Nation Name: Belyia
National Demonym: Belyian
Capital City: Gornikraj

Requested Map Location: https://i.imgur.com/zzpiBqq.png?1

Short Description of National History: The first Belyian peoples arrived in the eastern Balkan Peninsula around the 7th century, following on the back of other Slavic waves into Europe, displacing the various Thracian and Gothic societies that had established themselves in the Peninsula. The early Slavs were instrumental in establishing the initial frameworks of the modern Belyian state, such as the creation of the capital, Gornikraj, which rests at the foot of the Vitosha. The Belyians came in conflict with the surrounding states quite often; their conflict with the Greek Eastern Roman Empire a consequence of ethnic and territorial disputes. These disputes often boiled over into warfare, and in the north Belyian armies of local peasantry pushed towards the Danube river.

For a time this was the natural border of the Belyian nation, but the Christianization of the lands in the 9th century promoted a cultural renaissance with Greek-Byzantine ideals influencing the formation of the country. Belyia was declared a kingdom, officially the First Belyian Kingdom although many argued the pagan Slavs belonged to the first, and the Christian crown was a predecessor. The Danube's southern side saw a confluence of royal power and christian overtures, and naturally Belyian levies crossed the river into remaining non-Christian lands. The conquest of Muntenia would inevitably define the modern northern border by the 14th century, but until then Belyian control diminished the further one traveled from the Danube. The Dobruja region would soon become a vital trade port on the Black Sea, as well as reintroducing cultural reformation to the Belyian people.

In the 12th century the connection of Dobruja to the Ukraine, as well as the trade networks into Russian ports, saw a united Slavonic movement expand to Belyia. The Belyian language, which had until the century been diverging from the origins of the Slavic migration, instead saw a refinement into Russian Cyrillic. The monarchy mandated government language and grammar, and the Belyian dialect of Russian became the lingua franca of the nobility. The 1751 Russian Bible, the first to be translated into common vernacular instead of Greek, Latin or Slavonic, helped immensely to standardize the language among the lower classes.

Belyia became the principle Southern European border state with Asia after the fall of the Byzantine Empire. Belyia's successful invasion of Constantinople, as well as its occupation of Thrace, permitted the nation to rise to influence in Europe. Gornikraj would remain the administrative capital of Belyia, but Constantinople became the economic and cultural center of the Kingdom, as well as the winter home of the royal family. In truth it could be said that Constantinople was the capital. In the 1890s the country adopted its first constitution, establishing a constitutional monarchy and the modern state of Belyia.

Is there a National/State religion?: Eastern Orthodox Church

Short Description of Culture: Belyians are a melting pot of various surrounding cultures, dominated by a connection to Russian and Slavic origins. Thracian and subsequent Greek culture had a significant influence on the early Belyian state, establishing the Eastern Orthodox religion and enabling early language reforms of the state. Belyia has a significant folk culture, supported by the geographic mountainous terrain and early isolation from Christian Europe. The Cyrillic script emerged from Belyia initially, and Slavic influence on Europe generally came from early Belyian literature and works. Early pagan traditions also remain, such as spring and fall social customs and events, and villages often still practice a once or biannual fire gathering - in which the citizens of a village will congregate with food and drink, as well as playing games.

Iconography and religious attendance have historically been significant among Belyians, and a distinct development of folk religious music exists within the country. Orthodoxy is the largest Christian denomination and the official religion of the state, and the connection of the people to their local churches are often significant. Belyian cuisine is a mixture of Mediterranean delicacies and Slavic choices; salad is often a staple part of each meal, and extensive dairy products are common. Pastries and regional alcoholic beverages are the most easily recognizable foods.

Short Description of National History: The first Belyian peoples arrived in the eastern Balkan Peninsula around the 7th century, following on the back of other Slavic waves into Europe, displacing the various Thracian and Gothic societies that had established themselves in the Peninsula. The early Slavs were instrumental in establishing the initial frameworks of the modern Belyian state, such as the creation of the capital, Gornikraj, which rests at the foot of the Vitosha. The Belyians came in conflict with the surrounding states quite often; their conflict with the Greek Eastern Roman Empire a consequence of ethnic and territorial disputes. These disputes often boiled over into warfare, and in the north Belyian armies of local peasantry pushed towards the Danube river.

For a time this was the natural border of the Belyian nation, but the Christianization of the lands in the 9th century promoted a cultural renaissance with Greek-Byzantine ideals influencing the formation of the country. Belyia was declared a kingdom, officially the First Belyian Kingdom although many argued the pagan Slavs belonged to the first, and the Christian crown was a predecessor. The Danube's southern side saw a confluence of royal power and christian overtures, and naturally Belyian levies crossed the river into remaining non-Christian lands. The conquest of Muntenia would inevitably define the modern northern border by the 14th century, but until then Belyian control diminished the further one traveled from the Danube. The Dobruja region would soon become a vital trade port on the Black Sea, as well as reintroducing cultural reformation to the Belyian people.

In the 12th century the connection of Dobruja to the Ukraine, as well as the trade networks into Russian ports, saw a united Slavonic movement expand to Belyia. The Belyian language, which had until the century been diverging from the origins of the Slavic migration, instead saw a refinement into Russian Cyrillic. The monarchy mandated government language and grammar, and the Belyian dialect of Russian became the lingua franca of the nobility. The 1751 Russian Bible, the first to be translated into common vernacular instead of Greek, Latin or Slavonic, helped immensely to standardize the language among the lower classes.

Belyia became the principle Southern European border state with Asia after the fall of the Byzantine Empire. Belyia's successful invasion of Constantinople, as well as its occupation of Thrace, permitted the nation to rise to influence in Europe. Gornikraj would remain the administrative capital of Belyia, but Constantinople became the economic and cultural center of the Kingdom, as well as the winter home of the royal family. In truth it could be said that Constantinople was the capital. In the 1890s the country adopted its first constitution, establishing a constitutional monarchy and the modern state of Belyia.

Short Description of Culture: Belyians are a melting pot of various surrounding cultures, dominated by a connection to Russian and Slavic origins. Thracian and subsequent Greek culture had a significant influence on the early Belyian state, establishing the Eastern Orthodox religion and enabling early language reforms of the state. Belyia has a significant folk culture, supported by the geographic mountainous terrain and early isolation from Christian Europe. The Cyrillic script emerged from Belyia initially, and Slavic influence on Europe generally came from early Belyian literature and works. Early pagan traditions also remain, such as spring and fall social customs and events, and villages often still practice a once or biannual fire gathering - in which the citizens of a village will congregate with food and drink, as well as playing games.

Iconography and religious attendance have historically been significant among Belyians, and a distinct development of folk religious music exists within the country. Orthodoxy is the largest Christian denomination and the official religion of the state, and the connection of the people to their local churches are often significant. Belyian cuisine is a mixture of Mediterranean delicacies and Slavic choices; salad is often a staple part of each meal, and extensive dairy products are common. Pastries and regional alcoholic beverages are the most easily recognizable foods.

Short Nation Name: Europa Commune
National Demonym: Communard
Capital City: Wien

Requested Map Location: I finished my original claim, but afterwards I thought that may be too much, so I also drew a (less preferential mind you) small claim as an alternative.

Short Description of National History: Since the end of the 20th century, the hope for a true revolution, one really of the people, began to brew. The remnants of the 4th International (which lasted a bit longer in this timeline) reconvened in Wien and began assembling marches, protests, and general upheaval. When the workers were denied a referendum, the beginnings of a violent revolt were formed. On the 1st of May, 2017, the revolution began in Wien, ending in surprising and quick success as the military of (Austria?) was deployed in Tirol, where the revolution was expected to occur. The Wien Commune was formed and as (Austria?) began to capitulate with a toppled government and similar revolutions suddenly began to burst out around Central Europe. Now, today, it is finally over, resulting in a resounding success, and we can finally begin to rebuild.
