Isaelia​

View attachment 370018

Population:
​
22,298,558 citizens.

Economy:​

Unlike the land of many other civilized countries, every acre within Isaelia's borders has long since been tamed and put to work by it's citizens. The Industrial Revolution has brought about for the country widespread prosperity for the masses unimaginable until now, prosperity facilitated and further bolstered by it's paved turnpike road networks, sophisticated bridge designs, modernized and lengthened canal and waterway systems, numerous telegraph lines, and extensive railway infrastructure. All owned and operated by the government which in the past heavily invested into their construction, expansion, and modernization respectively approximately one decade ago to this day. The rates to use these public works may be fair and in most cases reserved exclusively for heavy use or cargo carrying crafts, but they have brought in enough revenue in recent years to render the collection of taxes from individuals and entities by state officials no longer necessary in function, which has subsequently resulted in their complete and utter abolition.

Military:​

Isaelians may universally prize their neutrality in international affairs, but that doesn't mean they're blind to the need to protect themselves from others who don't respect the uniform wish of their people for an eternal lasting peace. For this purpose the Isaelian constitution allows for an army of ten thousand professional soldiers to be raised in it's defense in peacetime issued with the best equipment the state can reasonably afford. This allotment has proved sufficient in the past, but is now strained through the passage of time. It is of general renown throughout the world for it's discipline, organization, experience in both armed and unarmed melee combat, and accuracy. Additionally it is of note, while a power only used during emergencies, the state has the authority to call upon a sizable pool of thousands of law enforcement personnel to arms, be they versed in the conduct of warfare or not.

Army:​

Comprised of ten thousand professional soldiers conscripted at birth to serve their country, the Isaelian Army is as a whole the most physically fit, well equipped, and rigorously trained force in existence. Recruits are selected by an adjusted-as-needed chance from the entirety of the male infant population mere minutes after birth if they exhibit no obvious symptoms or deformities that would automatically bar them from service. Made wards of the state, their parents receive checks from the government and are allowed discreet visitation rights from afar so long as their son remains an eligible candidate as a soldier. If found unable to meet the requirements before his fifteenth birthday, when physical conditioning, weapon training, and martial arts tutelage starts, he is either returned to his family, given over to his closest relative, or sent to an orphanage. Those who make it past that point but fail the last stages of their training are imprisoned indefinitely. At the age of twenty, those who remain either take their place as soldiers or are put into the reserves. The standard dress for soldiers is a pair of ivory marching boots, ivory wool trousers, an ivory wool spread-collared shirt, a wind and water resistant ivory cotton sateen cloth jacket, and an ivory garrison cap. To wear over the uniform, each man receives an ivory colored bullet resistant vest consisting of thirty layers of silk readily capable of stopping a few hits from most black powder munitions. For close quarter combat, a stiletto is issued to troops that doubles as a bayonet and general purpose tool. The workhorse of the Isaelian Army is the legendary Malava breech loading rifle; a single shot black powder firearm operated with a crank mounted on the side of the receiver, dramatically improving it's rate of fire over that of it's contemporaries on the battlefield. In the hands of a skilled marksman, the weapon has a capability of accurately delivering eight rounds a minute into human sized targets over an effective range larger than the span of a thousand yards.

Sorry but I have to ask, you do know that your small nation's population is about the size of the Ottoman Empire during that time period? Which would lead to it having immensely large cities and little room for food production.
Also, you shouldn't simply claim that your army is the best in existence at things. That is essentially godmodding, since it blocks others from being a top contender in something they might've wanted to focus on. Just saying that you should maybe rethink how you describe it. Maybe say that it is an exceptionally trained army and definitely has the ability to contend for the top-spot in said areas, instead of simply stating that it is the best.
I don't know, maybe you meant that from your nation's perspective and that it isn't necessarily so...

Yeah. I'm aware of that. I think I've already somewhat addressed it in my CS, but I intend to dive into greater detail soon enough.

I stated 'as a whole' as a precondition, understanding that.

Concerning your nation, how are you going to change things up given you based it on the wrong era? And your population to landmass ratio is quite unrealistic, do you mind either changing the numbers or expanding your land further?

Government:
Absolute Monarchy; The King has absolute authority of the Kingdom, but he divided the lands into regions and assigned a person to be the Duke of that region.

The Military has been doing a couple exercises, training, and activity. More factories are converted for military use as months passes.

Probably more...
