    I can't really do that for France, could you, maybe?
    when the union's inspiration through the worker's blood shall run,
    there can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun,
    yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one?
    but the union makes us strong.

    Biography :
    Born outside of Seoul in 1960. Kim's childhood was spent mostly of his parents hiding in fear of the Black Hundreds while their son was rather intelligent, and got into some of the best Korean schools, and would end up going to Japan for college as it may have been that the Hundreds would have targetted him for being a possible threat to their, or the Eurasian Empire's grip due to his learned nature. In Tokyo, he proved to be an excellent student and became friends with Daisuke Amherst-Shimazu, the youngest son of the Third Marquess of Kagoshima during his 5 year stay in Japan before returning to Korea after the fall of the Hundreds, learned and watched how the Russian's empire started to crumble..in the last election, he ran for the Duma, promising to attempt to bring a voice of the Korean people into the government, and won with about 54% of the vote. He would lead the KPG in liberating Korea during the First russian civil war between the Tsarists and the Duma, gaining Imperial Union support after unifying most of Korea. The Chinese invaded, backing Yi Won, but Yi won was killed in a freak accident during a storm after a assassination attempt on him failed. After successfully liberating Korea and the new government of King Yi Gu was established, Kim and many Provisional Government officals were widely voted into positions by the people of Korea. He would loyally serve the new government as Prime Minister for sixteen years before retiring to private life on his estate, but would remain in touch with many governmental offices and make some public appearences and speeches.

    I love it! But don't you think it might be wise to also do one for WEF, our first and arguably greatest series, and then maybe one for FoE sometime in the future?

    Brief bio, actions, etc.:

    The leader of the highly popular Canadian Nationalist Party, Frye collaborated with the Puritans to lead a revolt in Canada. His "Providential Republic of Canada" lasted only a few years, collapsing after the terrible defeat at Ottawa.

    Following this debacle, and fearing the possibility of another uprising, the Emperor, God Bless His Soul, sent the brave men of the Empire's elite intelligence organisation to kill the traitor. After a short battle, which ended in a not-so-heroic charge followed by a full retreat, it was discovered that the coward had pretended to be a guard, and that the man wearing his uniform was an impostor! Since this display, no Canadian has tried to revolt again, securing the Empire's safety in the colonies.

    Brief bio, actions, etc.:

    He led the Ukrainian Nationalist Party to victory over the Holy Roman Empire in 1936, creating a free Ukraine that was quickly absorbed into the Russian Empire after it was discovered that Ivanovich built his army on the Russian dime. After accidentally insulting the Russian Tsar by proclaiming himself Tsar of Ukraine rather than Knyaz thanks to misinterpretation of a telegram, he was barely allowed to keep his position, but held it regardless.

    After our mighty Union won from the Holy Roman Empire the land of Gaul, the Germans turned to the East, where they initiated an Eastern European conflict that, thankfully, we stayed out of. Ivanovich was sent to stop the southern German armies, but was turned back by German tanks and mortally wounded. At this point it is widely believed that he went mad, as the Russian 'Steel Father' Djugashvilli issued a public statement insulting him, and in return he led his entire army on a death march to Moscow! Needless to say, the Ukrainians were slaughtered.

    The Kingdom of Bavaria

    Heraldry of the Kingdom of Bavaria. From top to bottom: Coat of Arms of the Electorate of Bavaria (1623-44), Coat of Arms of the Kingdom of Bavaria (1644-88), Flag of the Kingdom of Bavaria (1644-88).

    Government form:
    Absolute monarchy 1644-1688

    Fate: Unified with the rest of the Holy Roman Empire under Hapsburg control following the failed War of Bavarian Ursupation (1686-8)

    The Kingdom of Bavaria was the creation of the prolific dynast Maxilian I of the Wittlesbach family. It grew out of the success of the Electorate of Bavaria and their Hapsburg allies in the Great German War (1618-42). With the majority of Austrian attention drawn to fighting Italy and the Balkans, more and more power was granted to Maximilian I, who used his position as head of the Catholic league to expand his territory in Germany.*In the Treaty of Manhiem, Maximilian was able to almost double the territory of Bavaria and secure his claim to the throne of the Palatinate. Over the next ten years until his death he was able to secure more and more territory in Germany and in 1644 negotiated with Emperor Ferdinand III to regognise him as King 'in' Bavaria and the pre-eminant Ruler in Germany. After Maximilian's death the kingdom continued to expand within Germany and add to their minor colonies in West Africa. This expansion poisoned the relationship between the Hapsburgs and the Wittlesbachs, and led directly to the War of Bavarian Usurpation in 1686, aslo known as the Hapsburg-Wittlesbach War. During this conflict Maximilian II used his influence with the German states to attempt to ovethrow Emperor Leopold I and replace him as Holy Roman Emperor. Bavarian defeat in this war led to the occupation of Germany by the hapsburgs and thr unifiction of the HRE into a single state under Hapsburg rule.

    Tropes associated with the Kingdom of Bavaria:

    • The Starscream: For nearly half a century, the rulers of Bavaria attempted to undermine Hapsburg dominance in Germany, constantly increasing their power to overthrow their overlords and claim the title of Holy Roman Emperor for themselves.
    • The Napoleon: As Bavaria grew in power it sought to match the Great Nations such as Austria and the Imperial Union. This inferiority complex became a defining characteristic of their rather expansinist and hawkish foreign policy.
    "All warfare is based on deception. Hence: when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near." - Sun Tzu
