No, I know that, but I cannot find the description of this wonderful nation. I think I saw it once but it seems to be missing.
I'm okay with Japan being the one recoloured as it looks a lot like Phoenicia as well.

Claiming South America north of the Amazon, Central America from the eastern half of Honduras south, Jamaica, and the Lesser Antilles.
Not unless you set it to be that way. As far as I know the forum defaults to a user's local timezone. In fact, when one looks at the forums without signing in, the default it's set to is Central European time. So the timezone issue is on your end, not the forum.

That would have been nice to know ages ago!
I've always assumed it was default EST for everyone.
Oh, we don't have to wait a full 24 hours based on when we posted? In that case, I claim Switzerland, Austria, and Bavaria-ish area, if no one has claimed it. Sorta difficult to keep track.
Official Name: Republic of Alaska
Commonly Used Name(s): Alaska
Government Type: Republic (......)
Current Ruling Party (if applicable): Conservative/Reactionary
Capital: Tanax
Head of State: Chief Sivoy Qanni
Cultures: Inuit/Native Alaskan (74%), Asian (14%), White (8%), Other (4%)
Languages: Native Languages (66%, Official Language), Asian (10%, Chinese, Japanese, Korean), English (85%)
Religions: Christian (89%), Shamanism (7%), Other (4%)
Population: 705 thousand
Founding Date: 1933
Date of Max Extent: 1938
Location: Alaska, most of western Canadian coast
Brief History:
During the colonization, many of the American colonists intermarried with the natives of Alaska. However, the Natives always saw themselves as the rightful rulers of Alaska, and they never came to fully appreciate being ruled by what they saw as a foreign power, the Federal Empire of America. During the recession of the 1930's, while the FEA was struggling to revamp its economy, Alaska's population, which the majority of saw themselves as Native Alaskan, formed the Republic of Alaska, declaring that the FEA no longer owned or controlled Alaska. A small revolutionary war ensued, and, despite the FEA's superior army, navy, and air force, guerrilla warfare won out in the end, leading to thousand of dead FEA troops. The FEA, while not recognizing the independence of Alaska, withdrew their troops in 1938.
When Kennedy took power in the FEA, he eventually recognized the Republic of Alaska as a sovereign state, in exchange for diplomatic agreements. For one, most of the oil deposits in Alaska were to be leased to FEA companies.
In the 1980's, Alaska saw a quiet coup d'etat, wherein several leaders and representatives were killed. A native man named Sivoy Qanni took power. The new government, while still going by the name of the Republic of Alaska, was really a dictatorship in disguise. The 'free' elections of the chief and the representatives were really rigged, ethnic minorities were oppressed, segregation was on the rise, and political critics were arrested, or assassinated. However, the FEA relied on Alaska for oil, so there was little objection from them at the swift change in policy in the Republic.
In the modern day, Alaska continues to be a dictatorship in disguise, with Sivoy, now in his 70's, continuing to rule. Despite the Official Language being Native, more Alaskans know English, and only 25% of residents of Tanax speak the Official Language.

Claiming Yemen, parts of Oman and Djibouti.
Also can we please get a GM comment about the 'Most Holy Christian Empire' that conflicts with quite much about a half of the countries in the game.

To be honest that is sort of my fault. Just try to incorporate it, I also think we did get one. Like somewhere in the area of page 2 to 5.
The whole thing seems like a poorly hidden attempt at trolling in my opinion.
Maybe, I did sort of encourage Ironhide though. So I am willing to take responsiblity. The best response to trolling isn't however just trying to shut it down.
I say again, try to play with Catholic ERE. We already have Latin-Christian WRE. I would like to see some Catholic Arabs. Besides, we already have the damn Islamic Russian Princes of the North. Are they less odd than Catholic ERE? Maybe, but let us try to utilize it either way.
The problem is that he ignored the history about the Islamic conquest of North Africa. And the occupation of Hejaz should at least go and Egypt reduced in size to fix this.
And regarding Islamic Russia: While it is somewhat silly, it doesn't conflict with other histories.
Yeah, I don't mind weirdness so long as the person took the time to explain it, rather than shoehorning something in because another idea fell through.
