No, they're here mechanically as well, which is why I need a listing of all extant members as well as any additional courtiers/characters created.
Can I incorporate zords as gods?

I am finishing up the character portion of the stat sheet, and I'm introducing a few changes to make managing NPC vassals easier in general.
Players, their families, and their courts operate on a Crusader Kings 2 system that you all are familiar with. Vassals when by NPCs, and NPC countries (not NPC petty state collectives however), operate under the Europa Universalis system. There's the character running the place, who also represents his own council. The character's family is abstracted, so family members and characters are generated as needed.

The Monastery and Parish of St August the Red
In the old times long ago a man was said to be swimming in the lake now known as The Red Lake. He swam down to the bottom of the clear lake and found there a small door. Opening the door he swam further and found ancient records of the time before. Brining these papers to the surface he brought them to the attention of a travelling priest in the nearby village. These texts become known as the Accounts of August the Red and upon the directions laid down in them the Order of St August the Red was founded.
That was hundreds of years ago.
Now the small but prosperous town of St Augusts clings to the lake bank to the south, A stone church stands in the centre of the town next to the market place and people bustle back and forth throughout. The town sits on the major route from New England into Canada and trade booms. Above the town on the hills around the lake sits the St August's Abbey to the west and the Convent of St Zachary on the north bank.
St August's Abbey is a grand collection of buildings high up on the hills. Its cloisters and halls boast some of the greatest finery in all of the Americas; tapestries and gold adorn the walls and the stonework is a quality that goes unseen throughout the lands.
The monks here are of the Order of St August the Red and devote their time to the study and preservation of the ancient texts as well as serving the community of St Augusts and the wider community of people throughout the Americas wishing to learn from the vast library. They draw their membership from common folk and nobles alike who wish to take up the vows however they also offer an associate membership for the young nobles who wish to come and learn from the scholars of the Abbey - with its vast libraries the Abbey operates one of the greatest schools on the continent.
The Convent of St Zachary is the primary location for the women who wish to take up the Order of St August the Red. It is much smaller than the Abbey and does not boast the library or facilities for schooling. However it does offer services of midwifery for the local communities and offers sanctuary for women in need and noblewomen who are threatened.
The Parish Church of St August The Red sits in the middle of the town and is a focal point of the community as well as the last stop on the pilgrim's route to the Abbey. From here daily services of Matins, Eucharist, and Evensong are conducted for the community often assisted by the Monks from the Abbey. Each weekend the monks take their produce from the Abbey and sell it at Market in the square in front of the church. They make breads, beers, fruits, honey, wines, brandys and all other varieties of products the fine Augustian Wines are coveted across the world for their powerful taste.
Further afield in New England stands the Priory of St Joan a smaller monastic community operating under the Abbey. It has a much smaller membership and library but still takes in the children of nobles for education especially in the study of Americanist Theology. The Priory has a much more Americanist nature than the rest of the order but is tolerated by those above as it allows for the Order's teachings to be felt throughout the peoples of North America regardless of their stance on the Question of Christ. It sits in the foothills just above a sleepy village called Yarmore.
The Order of St August the Red was founded back when an Episcopal system still dominated most of North America, this is reflected by the church still referring to itself as a parish church. It maintains many traditions of the old Episcopal traditions however with the structure destroyed during the reign of the Witch King. The dioceses are now all but forgotten and the Order is considered to be Old Christian in a very Broad sense and encompasses many Americanist teachings especially in The Priory of St Joan.

Updated my OP with my vassals, both on the map and with a description of each vassal. Also added a brief description of religions and of elective law. Did not finish my history, however there is plenty there to get the gist from. Also updated my claims slightly to fit one of my vassals, and you forgot two provinces on your universal map anyhow. I should note that Clan Windspear, the resd on my vassal map, doesnt actually occupy all of the lands it 'controls' rather than a few outposts along the lakes and the northern border. They are nomadic and those the lands in which they roam over the course of time, rarely venturing outside those lands these days.

I had a big long backstory for my nation and then my computer crashed and I didn't save it. You wouldn't mind if I just made an abridged version, would you?

Stats relating to population, economy, trade, characters, technologies, etc., are done. The map is largely done except for some vassal/subdivisions.
What does that leave?
The biggest part on this list is likely the religious system.
The goal is to have an update up by this weekend, Sunday at the latest.
What does that leave?
- Religion Work
- Government stats
- The Actual Update
- Monetary stuff
- Players who are missing things of course

Has Nuke finished his post? If not, then what will happen with my character who is in Nike's nation?

He has not. If the sign-up isn't finished, your character will be moved to the nearest country with a complete sign-up. He's told me he'll get it done in time though.
