Map and flag of my colonial nation, that I've made. It will be acting as somewhat of a vassla to Cziken. Essentially it is a member of the HRE with electoral powers, and has alot of shared history with the HRE. Basically a HRE client state, like Bohemia or Austria or Hamburg or whatever, but in the new world.
History will come later. It is somewhat based on real history, but branches of. Instead of the Welser family getting colonial rights for Venezuela and building Klein-Venedig. They instead get the colonial rights of Haiti and join forces with other wealthy families, especially from the Hansa.

- History:
- 1500 - 1600
In 1528 Bartholomeus V. Welser lent Emperor Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire a large sum of money. As a security, he was granted the colonial rights over what is now known as St. Frederich (Haiti OTL).
Comming from the wealthy Welser family, known for its merchants and bankers. Bartholomeus took his savings and joined forces with several other prominent merchants and bankers from his family, and their contacts in the Hanseatic League, and launched the Westindische Kompanie.
By 1531, all preparations had been made for the maiden voyage towards the Americas, and after several months journey, the first expedition of 250 settlers landed in St. Frederich. The settlement was crowned as Neu Augsburg, named after the home city of the Welser family, whom was mostly responsible for this journey.
The first years of the colony were harsh, due to unfamiliar soil conditions. However, as the colonists began to adapt the colony expanded. By 1540, the population levels had reached 800 colonists, but also a considerable number of slaves.
Although many natives died from the dieases brought by the Europeans, a number of them survived and were enslaved as the colony grew. The colony thrived by exporting Tobacco, Indigo, Cotton, Cacao and Cattle to Europe and to the colonies in North America.
The Westindische Kompanie grew as its revenues from the colony increased, and soon were able to finance a second colony. The colonial rights for a large swath of lands (Honduras, Belize and parts of Guatemala OTL) in central america was bought.
The first colonial fleet landed in was to be known as Geldland in 1568 and founded the settlement Karlsburg, named after the Emperor who reigned during the establishment of the first colony on St. Frederich.
Karlsburg quickly took root, and drew many migrants after gold and silver were discovered in 1571. It quickly became a large source of revenue for the Westindische Kompanie and the colonists. Not only did Karlsburg prosper from this, but also Neu Augsburg as it became a large trade hub in the West Indies. It were a natural stop for traders going between Europe, North American and Central America. The island colony expanded more and more as trade and population grew. In the eastern tip of St. Frederich, the Klein-Venedig settlement were established and a settlement to the southern tip of the island called Flandern.
The following decade saw a rapid increase in settlers moving into the colonies. By 1583, there were 80,000 living in the colonies. Large plantations were covering the plains in Geldland and St. Frederich, large mining towns such as Silberdorf, Rheinstadt and Fuggerdorf took root in Geldland and merchants were moving through the very busy port of Neu Augsburg. The colonial venture had been deemed a grand success and investment for the families who owned the company.
Colonial rights for what was to be known as Welserland were bought in 1587, and the first settlement were established in 1592, named Neu Lübeck. It became an agrarian settlement with large plantations run by the aristocrats, worked by enslaved native americans.
1600 - 1700
By 1643, a population of 2,000,000 people lived in the colonies. More political autonomy and power were demanded by the people and governors. A political crisis was brewing in the colonial empire against the crown and something had to be done. Some people even spoke of secession.
1645 saw an end to the political crisis, when the council of the Holy Roman Empire voted in favour of granting the colony the status of electoral member in the Empire. Now the colony could personally vote for Emperor of the Reich among other things. They were also granted the right of independently appointing governor without the direct approval of the Emperor. The colony had in many regards, been granted the status that the other kingdoms and fiefdoms in the Empire in Europe were having.
The colonists expanded further and further into virgin territory. Islands such as Soninsel (Roughly translated as Sunny island, Kuba otl), Geldport (Puerto Rico), Felsia (Jamaica) and various smaller islands.
1648 saw the adoption of an constitution and a flag for the colony. The constitution reformed the colony into a sort of Federal Oligarchy, where the wealthiest families had the power to vote for Chancellor of the Federation, but also to hold seats in the senate. If you belonged to one of the wealthy families, you could run for Chancellor of the colony on a four year term basis. Each state (Länder) also votes on a governor (Statthalter), and just like the other elections, only the wealthy may vote. Federation was divided into three Länder; Geldland, Welserland and Westindien with Westindien incoperating every island the carribean.
The Landwehr and Kriegsmarine were established in 1672 to oversee the defences of the colonial nation. Previously, defence were handled by local militias, mercenaries bought by the Westindische Kompanie and professional soldiers from the Holy Roman Empire. This was all very expensive, a professional military forced had to be created.
The Landwehr became the proffesional standing army of Mittelamerika. They were outfitted with the latest equipment and could be used to aid the HRE in their wars aswell as acting as a strong deterrent towards any greedy neighbours.
The Kriegsmarine became the first standing navy of Mittelamerika. It was and still is to this day, a navy build of smaller ships that are designed to navigate the archipelagos of the west indies and defend vital trade routes and intercept enemy ships.
1700 - 1800
The 18th century was a century of massive growth for the colony. Shiploads of colonists arrived each month from Europe, trying to find themselves a better life in the new world. The concept of Mittelamerika had grown, from a small colonial venture launched by the wealthiest families in the Holy Roman Empire, to a sprawling regional power. Settlements were spawning, seemingly every month. Welserland had expanded further south into south America (Colombia and Venezuela)
In 1731, a large slave rebellion shook the country in Welserland, and lead to a two year conflict. It was the first real test of the Landwehr and proved a catastrophy for the rebels. In massacres and on the battlefield, the slave population were decimated. It has been estimatemated that a third of the slave population were killed in the war. Something which has never really recovered, and remains a 5th of the total population to this day.
By 1733 just after the slave rebellion, the head of the rebellion leader were shipped over the Atlantic to Bohemia for the personal amusment of the Holy Roman Emperor.
In 1788, the population reached 8,000,000, that is quite larger than most HRE electoral states combined. Yet again the flames of leaving the HRE were lit in the colony. What is known as the sugar crisis were triggered, where the colony started to refuse selling their produce to the HRE states for a reduced prize as previously.
The crisis quickly escalated to what people believed to be a military conflict. However, it was settled in the Neu Augsburg conference in 1789 between the governor and all states of the HRE.
Mittelamerika would gain more political power in the HRE by be granted more say in the elections than the average country due to their sheer size. It would also be classed as a country, the same way as Bohemia and Austria and the others are classed as a country, and would be granted the same rights accordingly. They would also be allowed to sell their produce for the same prizes as the other member states of the HRE.
Mittelamerika had grown from an exploitive colonial venture, into a real country and political power inside the HRE.
In 1792 it was evident that most mineral resources in the Geldland province were running out. The economy of the province were modelled for a agrarian economy with large plantations for those rich enough to own slaves, and a series of family farms for those less fortunate. Some 200,000 settlers set off from the colony for greener pastures in Trockesien (Central Mexico) and established Kaiserdorf.
1800 - 1900
By the turn of the century, Mittelamerika were home to 9,000,000 people, most of them with ancestors from the North German states, South German states, Bohemia, Rheinland and the Dutch regions, but a sixth of the population were slaves of native american etethnicities.
As the world now enters the 19th century, what challenges will lay ahead for Mittelamerika?
Claims justification
The colonists historical presence in most of of central america and northern south america, has given them the sense of ownership of the region, and believe that anyone settling there without their permission is violating their sovereignty.

Catholicism isn't a thing anymore. The Pope is just one of the five Pentarchs.

Economic System: Laissez Faire Capitalism
Ruling Political Faction: The Chief and Lords of the land
Leader Name: Chief Donacona
History:
- Spoiler:
Like all Native American cultures, the Huron migrated across from Asia during the iceage. They migrated slightly south and began following the herds around the great lakes. Eventually they started to settle down into small fishing villages on the great lakes. They also began to farm, and stopped their nomadic lifestyle altogether by the time the great conqueror took power.
In around the year 1090, a man who's name has been forgotten by history, and now only known to the people as "The Great One" took his tribe one step further than the others in the area. He introduced a new idea to the natives: Territory. He was the first native to realize that a tribe can command the surrounding resources of a city, and not let the other nations have them. With this idea in mind, he conquered the surrounding tribes, and put them under a sort of vassalage system. Eventually this developed into a feudal like system, with the king ruling over lords, and lords ruling over cities.
This system allowed the natives to work together to conquer even more tribes, and develop relatively advanced technology for having no exposure to the Europeans. By the 1600s, when the Europeans started to arrive via traders, they admired the massive kingdom that the natives had built up here. They traded with them regularly, and by the year 1700, the musket was in widespread use across the military. Trading continues to this day, now the only question is to see if the natives will be able to handle industrialization...

The mods check if your nation meets all requirements and rules, and accept or reject it based on that.

I think cziken means the Encyclopedia Territorium, but you can also post it in here in the meantime. Looking at it, it seems like everything is a-ok.

You dont need to screenshot anything. What he really ment is you need to post your nation to an application thread. This thread has not been posted yet though. Looking at your nation though there are a few things you can improve. Ideally you want 750 pixels per city (or 250 pixel per million and 9 million total) Another thing i'd advise you on is in this thread were people post their plans (to avoid people claiming the same thing) byzantium has already been claimed. This claim is not official or anything but still does exist.
EDIT: This is a good guideline for what to include.
Nation Name: (The Republic of Prussia)
National Flag: (Insert imgur link here with img tags)
Zones of Control and Claims: (Insert map here of each of your three cities, the ZoC of each city and any claims you want to make)
Capital City: (Berlin)
Government Type: (Parliamentary Monarchy. Insert here short description of any specific, interesting bits about how your government works)
Economic System: (Socialist)
Leader Name: (Eternal President Georg Von Washington)
Ruling Political Faction: (The Party)
Most Followed Religion / State Religion: (Catholicism)
History: (Insert a few paragraphs about how your nation came to be. This should go from the point in history where your timeline diverges from the real world. For example, here, you might have a people's revolution in 1750, forcing the king to accept a parliament, etc.
Be long winded. This is your backstory.)
Claim Justification: (Insert here the reasons for the areas that you've claimed and put in your ZoC. Make it fit your history. This is to prevent people just dropping their cities on resource nodes and not thinking about anything.)
Religion: (State religion or just what the majority believes in)
I'd also recommend reading reading this guide. It is a bit outdated though as systems have changed since it was made.

Zones of Control and Claims:
- Roma Invicta!:
Capital City: Constantinople
Government Type: Absolute Diarchy
Economic System: Capitalist
Leader Name: Emperor Alexios IV Komnenos, Emperor Venerandus II Komnenos
Ruling Political Faction:
History:
1071 - The Battle of Maizkert is a resounding success for the Roman forces. The Seljuks were beaten back and their empire fractured.
1096 - Delcaration of the First Crusade. A strong Roman Empire joins forces with the West.
1099 - Jerusalem falls to Roman and Western forces. The area is placed under the control of the Roman Empire, and the the pentarchies of Antioch and Jerusalem are restored. In return, the Roman Emperor Romanos IV, now an old man, pledges his support for an expansion of the Papal states, sending forces to Italy to aid the Pope. This would be the start of a mending of the Great Schism.
1145 - The Second Crusade is a success, defending the gains in the Holy Land from the Muslim forces.
1189 - The Third Crusade is declared at the behest of the Roman Emperor to reclaim the final ancient Pentarchy, Alexandria. The North African Kingdoms fall easily to the combined European forces, cut off from support by a Roman Levant. The Pentarchy restored at last, this paves the way for a mending of the Great Schism and the placement of the Pope as first amongst equals, on equal standing with the Ecumenial Patriarch and on close standing with the Pentarchs of the three Petrine Sees.
1392 - The Council of Jerusalem, held at the request of the Pope, convenes to decide the fate of the schism. It is eventually agreed that the Pope should become the Patriarch of Rome, with jurisdiction over Western Europe. The Ecumenial Patriarch renounces his title, becoming the Patriarch of Constantinople with jusidiction over Eastern Europe. The other portions of Africa and Eurasia are also divided amongst the Pentarchs. Minor differences still exist between rites, but officially the schism is mended and Christianity is made whole.
1623 - Emperor Justin IV dies, and as part of his dying wishes, he wills the emperorship to not one, but both, of his sons. This move angers many, but is accepted. The two brothers, Alexios III and Basil II, turn out to be strong rulers, and quickly remove any resistance. The reforms that they would put in place modernised the country's military and economy, driving them forward to become the strongest power in Europe.
1654 - With the death of Alexios III, Emperor Basil II places Alexios' son, Alexandros, in the position of co-emperor. This would begin a tradition of succession, and the empire would remain a diarchy.
Claim Justification: The claims in Greece and Anatolia are obvious. Holy land gained during the events of the First crusade. Alexandria and Egypt gained during the third crusade to recapture the final Pentarchial see. Carthage and Africa Proconsularis taken later during efforts by a strong Roman Empire to reclaim territory lost in centuries past.
Claims are the extent of the Roman Empire under Justinian I, with some areas such as Italy being considered to be under the Empire's protection, but not under the Empire's direct control.
Religion: Christian. The schism of East and West is a relic of the past, and the Pentarchy is restored. The position formerly known as Pope is now merely the Patriarch of Rome, one of five Pentarchs. Similarly, the Ecumenical Patriarch is now merely the Patriarch of Constantinople. The other three Pentarchs are the Patriarch of Antioch, the Patriarch of Jerusalem and the Patriarch of Alexandria.
None of the five have special powers over the others, and the combined will of the Pentarchy overrides the will of a single Pentarch. Aside from major issues, religious matters are dealt with by the Pentarch whose jurisdiction the area falls under. Most of Western Europe is under the Patriarch of Rome, most of Eastern Europe is under the Patriarch of Constantinople and so on.
These are already existing plans. But if your nation is acceptable and posted before the other claim when the application thread goes up you could get accepted. I'd recommend reading what i edited into my last post though. As there are several ways to improve your claim. (And if you wonder why that claim is so large it's because there are 2 players working together)
