Shortform name: Cornithium
Real life culture influence: Norway/Swedish Liberal Democracy
Real life culture of former colonizer: (if applicable) N/A
Population: 127,940,000
GDP (PPP) per capita: $12,540
GDP (nominal) per capita: $14,595
Military manpower (active/reserve): 1.2 Million Active / 3.4 Million Reserve
Language(s): English
Additional info:
The Republic of Cornithium is a Liberal republic based upon a constitutional proportional representation federal system. It is the ideal concept of what a semi-socialist mixed-market economy nation would be like - somewhat akin to a larger version of Norway or Sweden. Financially, the nation would be reliant on a large and profitable private system with a industrially-focused state-owned public sector. History hasn't been fleshed out yet, and leaves a lot of flexibility for change. I would prefer population and GDP to remain as they are (but I could do with some slight modifications).

On my phone - please read application thread on making claims; Tiandi does stats differently from other regions.

With a population like that and a European background, I can already tell you your GDP needs to be waaaaaaaaay lower and you're gonna need a colonizer of some sort or at least influence from foreign powers a la RL China

@Senakaku - Thanks for the feedback. Forgive my ignorance; I'm new to regions and still trying this out.
Okay, I edited the original post to around half my former population and added a reduced per capita GDP. In terms of overall purchase parity power, this would make the nation more economically strong than India yet below China and the United States. Is this still too high? Perhaps I'm being too naive here - I'm basing all of these statistics rather wildly, I know.

@Arumdaum - Okay, I read the application thread again (which I assume is at http://s15.zetaboards.com/Tiandi/topic/7949416/1/). Was I not elaborate enough in my information? Or am I missing something else?

Ah, I see now.

My bad, I've seen to go over the top with this - :( I've hit down the per capita even more now.

Corinthium is still going to have one of the largest economies in the world. The per capita for Qinyue, which is probably the poorest East Asian nation (so a fair bit richer than the rest of the world), is around $14,000. Yours is nearly twice that. Idk what Arum wants, but I'd suggest seriously axing that (maybe not as far as Arum's Polynesian puppet, but still pretty far).

Also, you will probably need a colonizer and a somewhat less pleasant economy or political situation, since you're Western European and Western Europe has basically been gangbanged in this RP.

Back on comp~

Sen is right. Your country's numbers would make it one of the richest and most powerful nations on the planet. Your population would rank you as second most populous developed nation (right below my own, but as founder I am expecting to be superpower D:<).

In a region with about twenty other people, creating stats to be richer than the RL world's third largest economy by PPP might be a bit much. :P

Especially since it's a less developed region of the world, a large population would have to mean a very low GDP per capita.

Being a developed economy would, though, have to include a significant degree of "Easternization" (so far it's mostly minor stuff like wearing azn clothing, but idk we could do more).

Thanks everyone for the replies (and for putting up with my stats :P)

I've axed the GDP even more now, and reduced pop size as well. Is it still too large?

Also, I think that I might make this country go away from a liberal-market economy to a more socialist regime, especially because of the nation's low per capita income. Any thoughts?

New nation proposal concept:

Shortform name: The Soviet Socialist Republic of Cornithium (ССРК in Russian)
Real life culture influence: USSR / Soviet Russia
Real life culture of former colonizer: (if applicable) N/A
Population: 187,940,000
GDP (PPP) per capita: $11,550
GDP (nominal) per capita: $13,595
Military manpower (active/reserve): 1.5 Million Active / 3.6 Million Reserve
Language(s): Russian
Additional info:
The Soviet Socialist Republic of Cornithium is a communist state with a centrally-planned, military-centric government. It would be powered by an extremely large, almost entirely state-owned industrial sector and a large public mining industry. Historically, it would have been a nation devastated by economic crisis and severe governmental corruption, taken over in the early 20th century by a martial Socialist administration. The nation would have developed into a military power and demonstrate aggression toward more Capitalist regimes - much akin to the RL USSR.

Let's keep chatting to a minimum on application threads, please.

However, the GDP per capita is still much too high. Globally, IRL, your nation would be among the top 25% richest nations in terms of nominal GDP per capita, which doesn't really work with the nation being in a less developed area, having a large population + area, and the historical economic mismanagement.

Also, I would appreciate it if you had a smaller claim, especially if you don't plan on having formerly been colonized. Your claim currently takes up over a quarter of the landmass of the continent you're on with a size of nearly two million km2, preventing others from claiming land in the area (although really I should have required much smaller claims by other applicants).

The colors on the map are simply meant to differentiate the different countries. :P
