The NEW Countries Of An Alternate World Thread

[Hominid]

theReturner started a thread a while back where you make your own countries to create an alternate world. Well, that thread is done (it is now a map game), so now I'm starting a new one.

Rules:
-All countries must make up ONE world. You can't have the Kingdom of the Ostrogoths, the Serbian Empire, AND the Yugoslav fascist state all on top of each other.
-The smaller the better. It's better to leave room for diverse nations than to create a massive empire that spans Africa, Asia, and North America.
-Give enough facts and stats so people can tell what kind of place it is.
-Flags etc. are welcome but not required.
-Please explain what it includes to the point where one can draw it on the map of the world. For example: OTL Venezuela, Colombia, and eastern Panama.
-For now, only create present-day countries.
-Feel free to create multiple countries.
-Feel free to mention mysterious things that people can expand on later, like "since the Tibetan Civil War of 1972" or countries, like the "United Grand Empire"
-Have fun.

I will start:

Republic of Luanda and Cabinda


Commonly known as: Luanda, Luanda and Cabinda
Capital: Luanda city
Population: 4,293,242
Currency: Southern African Dollar
Major languages: Portuguese, Kongo
Major religions: Christianity, Islam, native religions
In existence: since 1992
Territory: the stretch of land between Luanda and Cabinda
History: When the Portuguese empire split up in 1992, all of its colonies became independent. Unlike most African countries, Luanda is not well-off. In 2001 it fought a massive war with a nearby country, causing it to lose half of its territory. Now, wealthier African countries are helping Luanda recover with vital support.

History: With the defeat of The French Empire during World War I ((OTL Napoleonic Wars)) in 1815, Emperor Napoleon was given an offer by the the victors. Either face execution in Europe, or live in Exile in The Americas. The former Emperor moved to New Orleans, which at the time belonged to the United States. He lived there as a celebrity for several years. The local Acadians, Cajuns, French Immigrants and Napoleonic Exiles loved Napoleon. He was so loved by the French Americans that the Anglo Americans in the area came to love him as well. He was even given special privileges from the Mayor of New Orleans. In 1820, he made a dramatic decision. Rallying his supporters and fans, he declared independence from the United States and proclaimed the Louisiana Empire. At first the Empire only contained New Orleans and the Bayou of Louisiana. By allowing the US Government access to the Mississippi and New Orleans Ports, Washington DC allowed the Empire to secede without a single drop of blood. It was not untill 1945 when the nation went through reforms and became a Constitutional Monarchy. It came to encompass it current territory during the First North American War.

The Nation of the Druids
Language- Welsh
Population- 1.5million
Capital- Caergybi
Religion- Celtic Druidism
Territory- OTL Anglesey and North Wales

History- The Romans failed to conquer Wales during their invasions of Briton and seeing the futility of their attacks built the great Welsh Wall across northern and parts of southern Wales. The Celt's were walled in and left to their own devices and allowed to flourish in their own lands. Though in later centuries the south fell to invaders the north always remained in Celtic hands. The Druids of Anglesey have always held power over the peoples of northern Wales and though the kingdom has grown and shrank in power, even collapsing for 70 years in the 1700's, it has always managed to keep the Celtic faith alive and well and indeed aided the other Celtic nations such as The Pictish Kingdoms. Today it exists as a small nation free of industrialisation and modernization its people worship the land and respect its gifts it holds great disdain for those who would destroy nature and has many activist groups across the globe protesting against the destruction of nature. It is on good terms with the other nations of Britain, though they are mostly left to themselves. They are part of the Celtic Union and were its creators in 1850

The Pictish Kingdoms
Language- Gaelic
Population- 3 million
Capital- Wick
Religion- Celtic
Territories- OTL north and east Scotland

History- The Far north of Scotland has always been a dark place long left to its own devices by the civilised south and England. As it has never had any real strategic value and its inhabitants keep to themselves this nation has long survived though its clans were often at war with each other. Today the Pictish Kingdoms are a small and tiny nation who like the Nation of the Druids hold respect for the land and keep it free of industrialisation. They hold traditional Celtic beliefs and languages and are left to their own devices. They are part of the Celtic Union which is a league of countries that come together in support of the Celtic Religion and languages.

Kerajaan Anugerah Ngayogyakarta Hadidingrat
The God-Given Kingdom of the Great Peoples of Yogyakarta
Jogjakarta

Population: 72,000,000(approximation)
Capital: Yogyakarta (City)
Government: Constitutional Monarchy
Head of State: Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X (As of 2010)*
Head of Government: Prime Minister Sutiyoso (As of 2010)*
Religion: Islam
Territory: West and Central Java
Independence: 1815
Exports: Electronics, Machinery, Foodstuffs, Toursim
GDP: 2.83 Trillion USD
Per Capita: 39.3 Thousand USD
Literacy Rate: 97%
Military Troops: Active - 414,000; Reserved - 680,000
Military Description: One of the most modernized and elite troops in the world. Formed before independence during the Java War in 1813, the Yogyakartan Royal Army has been in heavily involved in the Second and Third World Wars, as well as the Surakarta War, Padang War of Independence, and other skirmishes and peacekeeping missions (mostly in the Indonesian Archipelago). Although all sections of the armed forces excel, none stand out like the superior Yogyakartan Navy.
Allies: Aceh, Britain, Rome, Papua

History:

Pre-1900
During the Anglo-Dutch Java War in 1810, most Javanese aristocracies, which were basically Dutch puppet-states, turned sides and joined the British and fought against the Dutch. Sultan Diponegoro succeeded in liberating his nation from Dutch hands, and gladly accepted a treaty in which they would be free and receive protection from the British if they did not enter any diplomatic relation with any European nation besides Great Britain or nations in the Indonesian Archipelago.This nation quickly either peacefully or militarily annexed the other small kingdoms of west and central Java - except for Surakarta, which because it sided with the Dutch remained a British colony, and Batavia, which remained a British trading port.

Post-1900
Because of the successful defense of Malaya during World War 2, Yogyakarta itself experienced little of the dreaded war. However it, like Australia and New Zealand, gave troops for the massive Liberation of Indochina. In 1958 Yogyakarta bloodily invaded the new independent Surakarta on the grounds that its leader was planning to make a Communist state. This excuse would be used throughout the East Indies and South-East Asia as the independent Asian nations invaded the former colonies. In 1987 Batavia was handed to the Yogyakartans - a bustling, economically-powerful city of 2 million full of skyscrapers, banks, and a large port. Yogyakarta was to become a powerful nation in Asia. Yogyakarta is one of the founding nations of the Union of Malay States (Unimas) and of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN)

Jumhuriyyah Acèh Darussalam
Republic of Aceh Darusallam
Aceh

Language: Acehnese, Malay, English
Population: 8,000,000 (approximation)
Capital: Sabang
Government: Islamic Republic
Head of State: President Irwandi Yusuf
Religion: Islam
Territory: Northern tip of Sumatra extending south into the north-east and south-west coasts
Independence: since 1496 (Republic since 1964)
Exports: Textiles, Mechanical Goods, Palm Oil
GDP: 47.668 Billion USD
Per Capita: 6 Thousand USD
Literacy Rate: 93%
Military Personnel: Army: 27,000; Navy: 7,500; Air Force: 3,000
Military Description: Although Aceh itself has been independent since the 1400's, its military was recreated after the Aceh-Dutch war in 1775. It has a very well-trained army - though a little behind Yogyakarta, and is suitable for small-scale operations, such as its current role in the Balkans, and its anti-terrorism unit. After the threat of hostile neighbors during the end of the colonial era, the Acehnese military decided to lower the troop numbers and focus on technology and mdoernization.
Allies: Yogyakarta, Britain, Rome, Al-Dhimmi


History:

Pre-1900
Having repelled attempts at European colonization, Aceh remaines the only truly free nation - besides Siam and China - in Asia. They intend to keep it that way, and the Acehnese Army and Navy are a force to be reckoned with. A 1775 a Dutch force of 15,000 failed to annex the nation, and was beaten by a 28,000 strong Acehnese force led by a woman - Cut (pronounced Chut) Meutia. The humiliated Dutch have since planned another attacks, but never completely had a successful campaign in eliminating either the Sultans or the Army, and have never taken the capital since then until they were defeated by Britain in 1810.

Post-1900
By this time the British largely ignored the presence of Aceh, as they had nothing of use to the British that they did not have in other colonies in East Asia. In 1923, however, they signed a pact similar to that between Britain and Yogyakarta. In World War 2 Acehnese soldiers working for the British were feared even by the Japanese for their brutality. In 1964 a Communist coup d'etat successfully overthrew the Sultanate, but soon a Republican force would take over as head of Aceh, ending one of the longest-running kingdoms in the world.

[In the OTL Britain does in fact take over the Indonesian colonies, but returns them to the Dutch. In my little time-line the Dutch are unlucky and the Acehnese given more luck (they really were a strong army) and thus the Dutch were defeated twice in the late 1700's, making it even easier for the British to capture the East Indies and keep them]

I've edited some information and added economic and military to these nations.

THE NORSE REPUBLIC OF DENMARK

Capital - Arhus
Language - Danish, Norse
Population - 11,672,908
Religion - Christianity, Norse
Prime Minister - Margrethe Rasmussen
Territory - Denmark German provinces of Schlewigholstien, Mecklenburgvorpommern, and northern Niedersachsen, and Swedish provinces of Halland, Kronoberg, and Skane


After the fall of the Nordic Empire, all of the outlying territories revolting (Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Greenland, New Foundland (OTL Quebec)) the ruling Danish royal court was overthrown in Denmark and a republic was put in place. The weak republic then had to reestablish itself as the former superpower it once was fighting wars with both Germany and the New Swedish Republic who were fighting to take back their territory still in Danish possesion. The Danes won this war and quickly began to retake hold on the world trade as it once had before, though not at its former glory.

(this country will be kinda like OTL soviet union except smaller, more econmically sound, and rather than rebelling against communism they rebel against the oppressive Danish Monarchy)

History: The Federation started as various British colonies and islands taken from Spain and other European powers throughout the late 17th and earlier 18th centuries. These colonies were seen as very prosperous and settlers soon came in, bringing with them skills and crops that turned these cash crop based colonies into more well rounded and developed settlements. Trade between East Florida and the Islands flourished and a strong naval tradition had developed by the time of the Tax Revolt of 1734. With their speedy ships, knowledge of the local waters, and swashbuckling tactics, the Carribean Navy was able to stave off the far more superior British Fleet.

After winning their independence the Carribeans quickly became a center of commerce in the Western hemisphere, amassing a great fortune from the trade. Eventually the Federation industrialized becoming the foremost power in the Western hemisphere and today the sea belongs to the mighty Carribean Navy and the Federation's vast merchant fleet.

[Basileus Giorgios]

Empire of the Romans
Commonly known as: Byzantium/Greece/Rhomania
Capital: Konstantinoupoli
Population: 14,527,963
Currency: Imperial Hyperpyron
Major languages: Greek, Russian, Turkish
Major religions: Orthodox (74%), Sunni (12%) Jewish (10%) Other (4%)
In existence: 330
Territory: OTL European Turkey, plus the entire Marmara coastline, the city of Thessalonica, the Peloponnese, and several Greek islands.
History: After the collapse of the First Ottoman Empire under Timurid assault, Constantinople was able to survive by a mixture of luck and extreme cunning by succesfully manipulating the great Turkish dynasties of Europe and of Asia, as well as Russia and Spain, to attack each other rather than the city herself. In the 18th century, as these powers declined, the beleagured Empire finally began a faint recovery, and by the 19th century was booming as a tax heaven, especially after full religious tolerance was introduced in 1826. Ever since the end of the Third World War, the Empire has controlled Thessalonica and Nicaea as well, and has become, thanks to a close alliance bordering on vassalage to Britain, the richest state on Earth. The current Emperor, Leo IX, has recently married, and hopes for a son being born to his Armenian wife are high.

 

[President Sam Houston]

Kingdom of Comancheria
Commonly Known as Comancheria
Capital City: Quanah City (Located on OTL Brazos River, near OTL Waco)
Population: 18,535,922
Currency: Comanche Dollar
Major Languages: Shoshone-English; Spanish; English; Cajun-French
Major Religions: ancient tribal beliefs - 31%; Roman Catholic - 22%; Baptist - 12%; LDS - 10%; Other Christian sects - 8%; Jewish - 2%; Other - 4%
In existence: Founded and established in 1848, area of kingdom enlarged to present boundaries between 1870-1881
Present Territory: Its southern border is shared with the Kingdom of Texas; its eastern border is shared with Louisiana; its northern border is the Arkansas river from its eastern border all the way into the Rocky mountains; its western border is generally the Rio Bravo (OTL Rio Grande).
History: Peta Nocona, the great warrior chief and uniter, when he realized that the small tribes of Comanches under his protection needed to unite and adapt, began efforts in the 1830s to unite all Comanche bands and clans into one united group and then began making treaties with Texas, Louisiana, the USA, New Spain, and others that defined his territory. When these and other groups broke the treaties and encroached upon Comanche lands, Nocona and then his son Quanah Parker lead a united army of Comanches, Kiowas, Apaches, and other tribes to defend its territory, and even expanded its lands, taking most of USA's indian territory, New Spain's New Mexican territory, and eastern portions of OTL Texas which had been parts of Texas and Louisiana. For almost 140 years the Kingdom's present boundaries have welcomed a variety of immigrant groups, including other Native Americans, Anglo Americans, Europeans, Louisianans, Texans, Hispanics, and others. The wealth of the Kingdom initially grew with the domestication and commercial use of the American Bison, followed by cotton cultivation, and in the 20th century, oil and gas production. As a result of such wealth, Comancheria became a modern, educated and properous country that mixes its ancient Comanche culture with 20th century American culture.

I want to make a map. What was the basemap we used on the other thread?

And by the way, it seems that everyone has abandoned the old thread after I created this one.

[cryptogirl]

The Hague (den Haag)
Population: 1,260,000
Currency: euro
Official Languages: Dutch, French, English, Russian, Arabic, Chinese
Religions: Protestant (30%), secular/non-religious (26%) Catholic (24%), Islamic (9%), Jewish (7%), other (4%)

Background: The Third Hague Convention of 1919 established the Hague as the "International City of Peace and Justice," home to the newly formed Congress of Nations and World Court of Justice. Though not fully a state under international law, the Hague is politically independent from the Netherlands (whose seat of government was moved to Amsterdam) and administers it's own municipal affairs. The Hague has no standing army, and does not print its own currency (though it is not an EU member, most financial transactions are in euros).

The Hague is truly an international city, with 6 official languages and a population made up largely of foreign nationals. Business friendly tax rates have helped the Hague become a center of world finance and headquarters to a number of multinational corporations. However, despite it's diverse population, strong economy, and status as de facto world capital, the Hague is often mocked as the "stuffiest little country in Europe."

 

[Domoviye]

Commonwealth of Britain

Land: OTL England and Southern Scotland
Population: 45 million
Language: English
Religion: 35% Northern Protestantism, 24% Roman Catholic, 20% Anglican, 15% Celtic, 6% other
Capital: York
Government: HereditaryRepublic, Elected House of Commons and President, Hereditary House of Lords
Head of State: President Humphries

Export: Computers, aerospace technology, fine cars, fish, nuclear technology.
Trade: Any country with money.
Education: Universal, compulsive. Graduation of secondary school rate at 91%. College educations 67%.
Literacy: 98%
Military: Small volunteer military, highly trained and well paid, some of the most advanced military equipment in the world. Approximately 500 nuclear weapons based on land at at sea.

History: For most its history the various Christian nations of Britain fought each other, the Celts, and the Europeans. Sometimes one country would conquer several of its neighbours, but after a generation or two it would collapse in civil war.
In the 1600's when the land rush to the America's was occuring the Christian nations joined in and sometimes seperately, sometimes in small alliances, made their own colonies. This worked fairly well at first, but they expanded too quickly, and eventually became top heavy and beauracratic.
The Carribeans broke away from the minor British countries that controlled it. During the fighting the London Alliance that controlled the British Carribeans went bankrupt and was invaded by the Nation of Druids.
This was a shock to the Christian nations. They held the Conference of York, and five years later formed the Commonwealth of Britain.
Each ruler and their highest Aristocracy would get a seat on the House of Lords, and the people would have a House of Commons. A President would be chosen by the House of Lords.
Over the years the House of Commons has gotten more power, and in 1901 the first Presidential Election was held.
With its Celtic Neighbours there was frequent wars, but due to the pagan Irish, Britain could never maintain its dominance.
Today they are relatively peaceful, and care more about trade then war.

Today Oceanica is mostly an export nation with main focus on the Pacific. Recently Western Australia became independant, but luckily it is not hostile, but rather friendly to Oceanica.


(Man, I love this kind of game )

EDIT:
Because of the fact that now Oceanica has a dispute with Hawaii over the Marshal Islands, I added some territories, namely the Solomon Islands, Nauru, Samoa (including OTLs American Samoa) and a part of Kiribati (Gilbert Islands). Of course, this is also included in the statistics I also upped the navy because of the many overseas territories.

EDIT²: Western Australia is independant now, maybe someone could work on that.

Savezne Republike Balkana
United Coalition of the Balkans
The Balkans; Here be Chaos

Language: Serbian, Croation, Macedonian, Bulgarian
Population: 50,000,000(approximation)
Capital: Sarajevo
Government: Coalition Government/Failed State
Head of State: Željko "Arkan" Ražnatović
Religion: Orthodox Christian, Catholic
Territory: OTL Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, western Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, rest of Greece
Independence: 1998

History:
The fall of the Yugoslav state signaled the beginning of the end of World War 3. Yugoslavia, the former superstate had fallen into disarray, and multiple states with many ideologies fought for power. The few coalition members, including the Romans, Carribeans, Acehnese, The Hague, and Yogyakarta, that actually cared about their fate decided to back Zelijko Raznatovic, or Arkan, to reunite the nation under a democratic, capitalist government.

This plan failed when Arkan proceeded to commit genocide on the Muslim population. The coalition members found out it was too late to overthrow Arkan as he already had the support of most of the Balkans. Troops of the coalition were forced out of Arkans nation, and the Balkans fell into chaos. Warlords now rule the nation, though Arkan still is considered ruler. The Coalition members shortly afterwards invaded Albania, and created a Muslim safe-haven, though without a government. Albania remains to this day the largest uncontrolled piece of land.*

*It seems that Antarctica is open, guys.

EDIT: To make it short, think Somalia but much, much more unstable.

Whoever made the map, nice job, but you forgot the Republic of Transcaucasia. Also, I thought the Romans only had the European part of Turkey. Anyways...

Commonwealth of Massachusetts

Territory: all of Massachusetts and Maine, although the northern border of Maine isn't the same as in OTL
Population: 10,932,488
In existance: since 1949
