Official Name: Empire of the Goths (Reiki af sa Gutans)
Common Name: Gothland (Gutanþiuda), East Germany, Kaisarreiki
Government: Theocratic absolute monarchy
Head of State: Emperor Siegbert Wolfstein IV of Gothland (Kaisar Sigibert Wulfsstaineins IV af Gutanþiuda)
Capital: Þiudansbaurgs
Population: 148.709.712
Languages: Gothic (78%), German/Dutch (10%), Talysh and Caucasian Languages (12%)
Religiouses: Catholocism (42%) Arianism (35%), Protestantism (23%)
Founding Date: 1799
Date of Max Extent: 1844 (after conquering the western Caucasus)
Economy: First World (recent machinery and weapons)
Brief History: After the fall of the Roman Empire, Germanic tribes began migrating all over Europe. Among these tribes were the Goths, which eventually settled in the Ukraine, where they lived under oppression of various empires. However, up to this day, they are still proud of their culture and their Germanic heritage, and in 1799 they established their own empire, soon to expand into northern Anatolia and Belarus. Due to linguistic similarity, many Dutchmen and Germans went there for work, influencing the culture and language. Today, they are known by many as 'East Germany' because of the cultural similarity with the Empire of the Germans.

Official Name: La République de la Floride (The Republic of Floride)
Common Name(s): Floride
Government: Constitutional Democracy (based on South African model) est. 1968
Capital: Caroline (OTL Jacksonville)
Language(s): French (85%), English (10%), Muskogean languages (5%)
Head of State: President Charlot Christophe
Population: 12,937,926
Religion: Catholic (80%), Protestant (15%), Other (5%)
Founding Date: June 22, 1564, Independent: October 27, 1795
Date of Max Extent: 1798
Economy: Newly Industrialized (OTL Egypt, Philippines)
Brief History: The French establish Fort Caroline as counter-balance to St. Augustine. On September 20, 1565, Menéndez de Avilés led his forces through a hurricane to attack Fort Caroline. His forces never made it. After the storm, the French moved south and captured St. Augustine. Several attempts were made by Spain to recapture Floride, all ended in failure. Outside of (Fort) Caroline, Ile Osseuse (OTL Key West), and Itimpi (OTL Tampa); Floride remains undeveloped. Floride achieves independence in 1765. Almost immediately, succession groups, some backed by other European powers, attempt to carve up Floride. President Jean Buisson manages to put down all but the "State of Muskogee". Western Floride is lost. President Buisson and his successors Marc Blond and Jean Oiseau keep Floride a third world nation for close to 130 years. President Roy Colon begins a modernization effort in the 1950s and 60s culminating the Constitution of 1968. Since, Floride has become a destination for tourism.

Official Name: Republic of Tamazgha
Common Name(s): Tamazgha, Maghreb, Mauritania (archaic)
Government: Presidential republic
Capital: Aghmat
Language(s): Tamazight (93%), Arabic (2%), other (5%)
Head of State: President Amezwar Tabaamrant
Population: 81,249,000
Religion: Roman Catholicism (72%), non-religious (23%), Islam (2%), other (3%)
Founding Date: 701 (Kingdom of the Moors), 1791 (republican revolution)
Date of Max Extent: 1678 (largest territory), 1684 (most influence)
Economy: Between first world and developing (formerly first world, prior to their loss of Mali)
Brief History: As the Muslim Arabs encroached on North Africa, the local Berber tribes united to fight the intruders. The Berbers found Islam to be a foreign religion that favored the Arabs. This prompted many to convert to the Christian faith. This in turn won the favor of southern European Christian nations, who sent troops to aid the battle against the Arabs, which generated even more converts.
(Yeah, it's big, but keep in mind that over half of it is desert.)

Official Name: The Union of Britain
Common Name(s): Britain
Government: Formerly Communist State, Socialist Democratic Republic (election held between various Socialist and communist parties)
Capital: London
Language(s): English (80%), French (10%) Icelandic (5%) Gaelic (5%)
Head of State: Chairmen Andrew Thorn(SDP), General secretary: Robert Boyden (CPB)
Population: 73, 018,601
Religion: Protestant (85%), Catholic (10%) Other (5%)
Founding Date: 1927 (de jure) 1933 (de facto)
Economy: 1st world in some parts (London, most parts of England), 2nd world everywhere else
Date of Max extent: 2010
Brief History: The Union of Britain was founded in the wake of the Great depression that was caused by the collapse of the Germany economy, and that of other key powers. The people rose up against the inefficient government and began the brutal 2nd English Civil War in 1927. The war was going poorly till the Battle of Lincoln in 1929 which the rebels destroyed the armies of the royalist and where able to occupy Scotland and Wales. The war was won after the battle of Essex in 1932. After the battle of Essex the royal family fled to the America’s and set up a government in exile. In 1939 the Union led by the current Chairman and hero of the battles of Lincoln and Essex, Victor Ashton (a Stalin-esque figure, but less genocidal), declared war on Ireland, and the French successor state of Normandy(the British wars of Expansion(the rest of the world calls it this), or the Bringing of the revolution to France and Ireland (communist call it this). Ireland was conquered in 1940, but Normandy proved a harder nut to crack supported by Britain and the Gallic league (a collation of French successor states). With the help of other Communist states both more powerful and less powerful than it were able to push out the Germany and French out of Normandy, after defeating their armies at Caen. The war ended in 1943 with the annexation of Ireland and Normandy, it is often considered part of the bigger war called the Communist wars. Since then it has been a leading nation in the Communist International. In 1978 a Alliance of powers led by Vinland, Germany, and Finland, started to plan an invasion of Britain with the goal off setting up exile government in power. They decided to use Iceland as a base of operation for the invasion. But the Union found out and sent Admiral Cunningham to deal with the situation. Cunningham’s way of dealing with the situation was a full invasion and occupation of the country. When nations of the world protested they released documents about the planed invasion. The Union is one of the world’s last communist nations and one of the most powerful, it commands a powerful fleet, and a strong economy. But internal problems are everywhere. From the IRA in Ireland, the ILA in Iceland, and the CLA in Scotland. The future definitely looks interesting for nation.

Official Name: East Indies Federation
Common Name(s): East Indies, Indonesia
Government: Confederation
Capital: Manado
Language(s): Various Indonesian local languages
Head of State: President Otto Ondawame
Population: 75,431,000
Religion: Roman Catholicism (54%), Traditional beliefs (21%), Protestant Christianity (20%), Islam (5%)
Founding Date: 1995
Economy: developing
Date of Max extent: 2001
Brief history: When the European and Asian powers colonized the East Indies, they were mostly governed through a "princely-state" status and thus they were never united in a sense of a traditional nation. What is now known as the East Indies was mostly a collection of small kingdoms and nations. One of the most powerful of them, Manado, covers the top half of the Sulawesi/Celebes Island and proposed to form a loose federation of the East Indies nations. By the 21st century, the East Indies Federation had managed to gain the membership of the the entire Indonesian archipelago minus the Srivijayan Empire and a couple of Pacific Island nations. Though the Federation is still more of a collection of small states rather than a coherent nation in some respects.
