Official Name: Home
Commonly Used Names: The Isle of Savages, The Dinner Plate
Government Type: Anarchy
Capital: None
Head of State: Jeff
Cultures: Neo-Tribal
Languages: 'the tongue of savages'
Religions: 'The Cult'
Population: 21 (14 women, 7 men)
Founding Date: 'Day 1', (roughly 200 years)
Date of Max Extent, 'Day 12'
Location: Falkland Islands
Brief History:
at some obligatory point in time a large cruise ship of some description, carrying passengers from god knows where, ran aground on the Falklands, leaving its crew and passengers of roughly 10,000 alone of the island, which at this point was completely uninhabited, after hunting most of the islands native fauna to extinction, and driving away the last of the seals, the survivors eventually turned to cannibalism as a way of survival. Eventually the process of cannibalism combined with rampant inbreeding drove the population into devolved, maniacs, rife with genetic impurities and mental disability including widespread insanity.
In the modern age the island survives, with the last 21 descendants of the original still remaining on the island, for the most part they sustain themselves with raids on the main south american coast where they take people as food back as livestock, using the lifeboats from the cruise ship. While a sane person might realize that once they get to the mainland they have escaped from the clutches of island captivity the people living on 'Home' as they call it are too deranged to realize it, believing themselves to be trapped on the island eternally, like all their ancestors beforehand. For the most part the inhabitants of the island do their own thing, but when the group needs to come together, then Captain Jeff will knock skulls together (literally) in order to get the others to listen. Jeff is captain like his daddy, and his daddy before him and his daddy before him, no one challenges Jeff's authority. The religion practiced on home, is called the cult by those few who have managed to escape capture by them, is summarized best, 'as the worship of human meat in all shapes and forms.'
Home stil exists due to a general lack of will by any power in the world to deal with it, as it a mere nuisance to one small part of an already back water region of the globe, in any manner the population will probably die out in roughly 50 years anyway, if not due to disease, but the hunger and desire for human flesh slowly overcoming this already deranged backwater.

Please note that Somalia is tribal according to Aksum and Southern Kenya was a colony of the Baltic League according to Red Eagle.
which have already been claimed by another player.
On that note, Claiming the remainder of Canada for a native american state.
I'll claim Svalbard, Jan Mayern and the black colered islands out east to the north of Islamic USSR.
Commonly Used Name(s): Katmandu, Katmandon't
Government Type: Quasi-Constitutional Monarchy
Current Ruling Party (if applicable): None (Independents)
Capital: Katmandu
Head of State: King Badha of Shangri La, King of Nepal, King of Sikkim, King of Hindustan, King of the Punjab, Duke of North Bengal
Cultures: 57% Shangralese, 23% Indian, 10% Tibetan, 5% Chinese, 5% Sikkese
Languages: 67% Tibetan, 28% Hindi, 5% Han
Religions: 67% Buddhist, 20% Hindu, 8% Jain, 3% Confucian, 2% Taoism
Population: 40,065,331 (2012)
Founding Date: 1312 (Merging of the Crowns of Nepal, Sikkim, and Hindustan)
Date of Max Extent: 1781
Location: The Places between Tibet and India
Brief History: The Heavenly Kingdom of Shangri La (Hereafter Shangri La) was formed when God-King Jhabin united the kingdoms of Nepal, Sikkim, and Hindustan in 1312 following a wide scale period of centralisation of the Shangri La mountain range. A quiet and reserved kingdom until clashes with the growing Indian nation occurred in the late 1680s. Border tensions would result in a war breaking out in 1709 where India advances to modern borders, which it defined as it's natural boundaries. The last attempt at territorial growth occurred 70 years later, when Warrior-King Huj Ata led the legions of Shangri La into India to claim the Punjabi crown, which he inherited from his mother, the Princess of the Punjab. Seizing the crown as well as regions of Bengal (declaring himself Duke of North Bengal in the Process). These lands were reclaimed following Huj Ata's death in 1810.
Since then, the Heavenly Kingdom has become increasingly peaceful and religious. 1/8 men in the nation are a priest or monk, while temples dot the mountain nation. While facing times of instability (especially during the famine of 1899), the monarchy has survived through paternalistic pluralism in the life of the average Shangralese and the adoption of liberal ideals when they take the nation by force. For example in 1932, when the radical liberals threatened action over the lack of a parliament, King Gujda II simply authorised a basic parliament, elected by men and women of the proper means and birth. This was adopted in 1989 to ignore caste and again in 1993 to ignore birth.
While not the most liberal nation on earth, Shangri La is a peaceful and quiet nation that maintains it solitary life through underdevelopment and intense popular belief in pacifistic beliefs.
I claim the spot south of the Danube north of Illyria as Carinthia(as Hungarians never claimed the Danubian basin I shift Carinthia more east) and north of the Danube as Moravia. (will do these two small nations with some minorities to finish the outline of Europe)
I'll just use my secondary claim, on the area around the Gulf of Guinea.

The Benin colony was a failed project for the Christian Empire. It could not compare with the main colonies in Siam and Indonesia. It was founded as a colony in 1732 and initial expositions yielded little results. As slavery was never a practice, so profits were few. In 1810, tired of the weary costs of maintaining the colony, the Christian Empire released them. In 1912, an African warlord named Relo Carton gathered an army, and took over the President by killing all his opponents. Proclaiming the ideals of his version of atheism and socialism, he began an ethnic cleaning of the Greeks and Romans in the country, killing Catholics as well. He tried to reform the decent agrarian system with communes that lead to famine, rebellion and war. Various factions broke up, leading to a hundred year civil war, lasting from 1912 to 1948. Most of the population was killed or fled as refugees. All the work of the colonials had been ruined, as Benin was utterly ruined. Relo's son, Gilga Volga, managed to reunite most of the original colonial territory. Still oppressive, the country was to barren and exhausted to exist. Renaming the country, he and his sons rule over a desolate dirt poor society with an oppressive regime. Catholcisim is outlawed, and the small numbers of remaining Greeks and Romans living in isolated villages, trying to protect themselves from the warbands. It would be hard to tell it was even colonized once at all.
I'll write up a nation right now, meanwhile, claiming the Senegal-Mali-Burkina Faso region.
@silentsam5
Can I have a verdict on Oman, Somalia, Kenya, and Tanzania? I wanted to make some super Oman on their coasts (not using the inlands) but Health took Oman (without staking a claim) and now Ironhide claimed Somalia and Kenya. I'd love to put it up ASAP but if they can just go with it I'll pass.

I'm sorry, but I've already claimed part of the Senegal region. I can PM you a picture of my land claim if you would like.
That would be helpful, thank you!
Also, I see that a lot of people are just popping out nations without any trace of claiming them beforehand, can the GM deal with this please?
Well I dropped Kenya and Somalia. Feel free to use it. Though other people have apparently claimed it(?)
I was sure claims only lasted for a day. But, okay. Take Oman, post your country and I'll redo the parts of my history that might offend.
Commonly Used Name(s): Polar Bear kingdom, Filthy Tribals
Government Type: Absolute Monarchy (somewhat)
Current Ruling Party (if applicable): Riksrådet (assembly of nobles and advisors)
Capital: Longyearbyen
Head of State: Kong Kresten XIV
Cultures: Norwegian (56%), Native Polar Bear (19%), Greenlandic Polar Bear (25%)
Languages: Norwegian (56%), Polar Bear native dialect (19%), Polar Bear Greenlandic dialect (25%)
Religions: Northern Christianity (56%), Other (44%)
Population: 7000
Founding Date: 1021
Date of Max Extent: 1241 - 1561
Location: Svalbard, Jan Mayen, Some other shitty islands.
Brief History:
Ever since the first norwegians came to Svalbard in 1021, they have tried to interact peacefully with the polar bears there. And evertime, they have been mauled. In 1212, they "colonized" Jan Mayen and in 1241, they colonized parts of the west coast of Greenland which they then 'gave' to Norway because it was unprofitable and basically no one lived there. The state hasn't changed much in what kind of ruler they have, but people are generally content. The kingdom have made the Polar bears citizens of the country, even though they refuse to cooperate and can't speak any human language.

Official Name: Republik Südwestafrika
Commonly Used Name(s): Südwestafrika, Südwestrepublik, Apartheidland
Government Type: Unitary Parliamentary Republic
Current Ruling Party (if applicable): Nationale Volkspartei (Nationalist white Party)
Capital: Nassfurt (Walvis Bay)
Head of State: Markus von Guttenberg
Cultures: German 78%, Nama 10% , Herero 12%
Languages: German 78%, Nama and Herero Languages 22%
Religions: Christianity 99%
Population: 1.3 Million
Founding Date: 1878 Colony, 1937 Independence
Date of Max Extent: 1952
Brief History:
Südwestafrika was founded following the conference of the powers as a Red Eagle colony, spreading all the way from Nassfurt to Mozambique, and was supposed to encompass all of Africa south of its northern boundary, however the great exploits of the Zulu made it impossible, and in 1890, the border was marked. In 1907 a revolt by local populations lead to a forced march of many tribes into the desert, killing thousands of natives.
In 1937 Südwestafrika gained independence, and the white-german immigrants have since pursued a policy of racial superiority and segregation against the native population, culminating in the decade of violence in the 1940's and ultimately the establishment of the Afrikaner Heimstätte (a supposed homeland of the natives) to the east of Südwestafrika, in reality forcibly deporting many of them into said region, and then closing off the border, and threatening to shoot should they attempt to cross back.
Ever since, only a small population of natives remain, mostly sons and daughters of former colonial soldiers, as well as a large group of natives who had been pushed to the south-east of the country, not ceded to the Homeland in the 50's for its strategic resources.
Ever since, Südwestafrika has made itself a bit of a Pariah state, and is especially despised by its more native neighbours, causing carbombings, sabotage and other acts of terrorism to be the norm, whilst the remaining black africans still struggle for equality, funded by its poorer neighbor in the east. In 2003, the United Southwest Party has formed, for the first time in the solely white parliament, a group is campaigning for full equality in the country, but largely it is still united behind the ideas of their ethnic and technological supremacy, and paternalism, towards the blacks.
OOC: has anyone claimed England yet?
