Shortform name: Cyllea Real life culture influence: Japanese, Thai, Korean Real life culture of former colonizer: N/A Population: 111,346,791 (Can be lowered if absolutely needed; it was at 427 million before I came here) GDP (PPP) per capita: ~34,000 GDP (nominal) per capita: ~32,400 Military manpower (active/reserve): 1,171,000/1,789,000 Language(s): Cyllean (National), Saladese, Songhese, Beqir (All minorities) Nation description: Spoiler: click to toggle National History: Before the 16th century, Cyllea was divided into a number of small city/island-states; however, in the 1530's, the Atsukuo dynasty began the first of what would be many unification wars, attacking a nearby isolated island; by 1581, the unification wars had completed, and Cyllea had been unified under the Atsukuo dynasty; according to Cyllean legend and religion, the gods decreed that the Atsukuo family were the rightful eternal rulers of Cyllea, and the ruling High Elder of the time, Padmera, was said to be elevated to join the gods; thus beginning Atsukuo Paganism and the fundamental worship of the royal family. More history will be added as I integrate into the region and develop history with other states. Description of National Economy (Major sectors, development, etc.): Cyllea is home to a large manufacturing industry, similar to that of Vietnam or Bangladesh; this is due to the 'National Revision' plan put in place in the 1960's, intended to change Cyllea from a rural, poor nation to an urban and advanced nation. 'Phase 1' of the National Revision called for Cyllea to promote immigration into larger communities to take jobs in a rapidly growing number of factories. In 1997, 'Phase 2' of the National Revision was declared, calling for Cyllea to developsocially as well as exploration into new industries such as Tourism, Technology and Financial Services. Since 1997, Tourism has skyrocketed in Cyllea, with millions visiting each year, and hundreds of resorts popping up on small islands across Cyllea. Technology has seen some success, as Cyllea begins implementation of a massive clean energy program, with the hopes of eventually making energy next to free in Cyllea and possibly beginning to export cheap power to nearby nations. Financial Services have hardly seen any development since the beginning of 'Phase 2'; however, the government predicts that as Cyllea becomes a larger and larger economic power, that its financial services industry will undergo a sizable expansion. Behind the scenes, Cyllea secretly funds drug trades in other countries; however, recent leaked reports show plans of phasing this out, as money begins to come in from new industries. Description of National Military (Please remember our realism guidelines): The Cyllean military is a sizable force intended to police and keep order in the nation. The vast majority of its weapons are defensive in nature, though a well-funded special forces division exists, and often intervenes in foreign affairs, unbeknownst to other nations. Its also notable that the police are a separate branch of the military, rather than an independent department. Link to map claim (optional): Will provide next time I have access to a computer Are you willing to drastically alter your nation in order to fit with Tiandi canon?: Yes. In fact, given that Asians are traditionally dominant in Tiandi, I forsee multiple large changes in Cyllea.

I like the idea! However, there are a couple of things that need to be changed.
Both GDP per capitas are much too high for a previously colonized nation, as Tiandi's wealth is centered around East Asia.
Secondly, the population is really high, we're trying to downsize people's claims, especially if they're making puppets. I'd suggest lowering the pop to around 40-50 million, maybe even lower.

I'm switching Amrosya to be my puppet and significantly downsizing it to like a couple million. Cyllea had always had a high population and I really don't want to put it below 110 million. And Cyllea was never colonized? It's been independent since forever pretty much; it is east Asian.

Thai isn't culturally East Asian, but I think that should be fine due to the Japanese and Korean influences~
I would prefer that the population be lowered and the GDP per capita to be raised, to be honest. I should probably pressure others to lower their populations again as well...
I was thinking that Cyllea, due to being Korean and Japanese, could be located on one of the two currently empty areas that border Akitsukuni and Zhouran. You'd be near both Akitsukuni, Jeongmi, and Akitsukuni's historically Korean area. I can adjust the coastlines if you'd like. The population density if you claimed either would be normal even with the current population.
I think though, that having Cyllea be poor and rural until the 1960s might not have worked, considering that all your neighbors and the nations which you have the largest ties to will all be among the richest and advanced nations of that period.
