What exactly do you mean under influence?
The colonies are recent - they were all set up within the last decade.

I think I will finally join my first das NES, because, after all, all the cool people are. I would be partial to a Solist nation. If none are left, since I have no other preference, Ill just wait until everyone who wants a nation picks one, and then take one if there are any left over.

Das, how strong is Gaul in comparison with the other European powers? How much influence does it hold in Northern Europe? Who are its allies?
What are Gaul's primary strengths? To me, it seems sort of like early Rome - not really excelling in anything in particular, but rather good all around. I'm assuming that we have an uber-army?

It is one of Europe's first-tier powers (the other two are Tarunia and DIE, the former's true strenght being yet-untested (so it isn't really recognized as such, but in influence at least it is on par with DIE and Gaul)), though only second-tier in the West (i.e. Europe plus Transpoenic-Mediterranean) as a whole.
Much, if only because of the Solism. However, that influence is waning and giving way to Tarunist/Tarunian one, as of late.
Frankreich and Cimberland. The relations with the other powers are more vague, but relations with the Iceni are generally quite good.
Internal coherence (due to protonationalism, strong national religion and an efficient state apparatus), land military strenght and Solist religious influence.
It isn't huge, but it is quite large and all-around good. Probably the best army in Europe, at present, as both Carthage and DIE had concentrated on naval affairs instead.

The land army, plus size=natural resources and maneuver space. Also, OTL Manchuria is far more developed than in OTL, and was the least-damaged during the Han Civil War. By now the northern lands had recovered as well, so you also have a strong, independent economy. Also, the iron grip has ensured stability.

I have similar questions about Cimberland, but focusing on culture and religion.

Some questions that are bothering me....
1. The state of the Tarunian Army?
2. ---::--- Tarunian Navy?
3. What are the relations with all of the Tarunist states? (Mordvins, Svearland, Balts and Jutland.)
4. How many (how much support) followers does Tarunism have in countries outside of Tarunia. (Talking Europe wide, not just Tarunist countries)
5. Tarunia's relations with other nations? (Especially curious of Frankreich and Norge)
6. Is the Holy Emperor a mere marionette now? (I'm quite happy with the Monks having much of the power, as thats what I intended)
7. How technologically developed is Tarunia in comparison to the rest of Northern Europe?
8. Anything else worth mentioning about Tarunia, challenges it will face, etc?

How long will IT updates be?
BTW, note that I will be mostly unable to do any stories during the entirety of the month of November.

What are Gaul's relations with Tarunia? Have we contacted them much? We are not a mercantile nation, so I am assuming that there isn't much contact.

Okay, might as well answer...
Weird Germanno-Etruscan culture (the Germannic elements seem prevalent, though), with Roman and Gaelic influences (the latter mainly manifest in Solism). A bit similar to OTL Ostrogoths, but not a spitting image at all. Solist church. The entire culture is permeated with militarism and warrior spirit (so there are military-religious orders, defensibility is one of the most important factors in architecture and the most popular literature is war ballads and tales about the idealized feats of ancient Roman and Germannic warriors and generals).
It is a great power, but sadly the weakest of the Transpoenic-Mediterranean "Big Four" (Carthage, Gaul, DIE, Luca). However, it has a good, lasting friendship with DIE, and thus by extension with DIE's allies. Also, its miltiary is very strong on both the land and the sea; perhaps it cannot conquer the world, but, especially with the militarization of the society, Luca is virtually impossible to conquer.
Reno:
1. Not too good, its rather small and had grown lax. Although if a war comes you could always levy lots; until then, you just don't seem to really need a large army.
2. It rules the Baltic Sea, but isn't very strong on the world scale. You do have good ships, though, and a riverine flotilla.
3. Norge is a good ally, as is Nadruvia (though it had grown increasingly independent lately). Svearland isn't really an ally, and its religion-based friendship with Tarunia is a grudging one. Jutland is an ally, but also grudging, though not as much; the Jutes are chiefly annoyed by your control over Copenhagen, though technically it is a Finnish-majority city now. As for Mordvinia, it doesn't give the Holy Emperor due respect and is a dangerous, heretical state.
4. It isn't terribly widespread outside of the Baltic (where, apart from Tarunist states, it has a certain presence in the coastal Frankish and Wenedian areas), but there are some "outposts" of Tarunism in Alba and in the Slavic lands.
5. You have uncertain relations with Frankreich (there are many factors pushing the two of you in two opposite directions with about equal strenght). Aside from that, you have good relations with Brigantea (the small blue Alban state), and with Wenedia.
6. Yes, he is (unofficially, ofcourse).
7. Well, it is the most advanced in the North Sea, but backwards when compared to Gaul or to Nortugal.
8. It has grown in comparative peace and never was particularily threatened; as a result, its people had grown rather complacent and peaceful, hence your small military. Tarunia is yet untried by REAL troubles, and so is unprepared for them; its golden age is at its end, most probably, as several things have changed for the worse in the greater world. There are also lots of problems keeping the Tarunist community together as of late, both diplomatically and theologically; I had already mentioned the Mordvin problem. So to sum up, Tarunia had climbed high, but it is unclear whether or not it will manage to hold on to what it had gained.

Yes, there isn't much contact, and neither side has yet decided just what it should make of the other.

What are Gaul's relations with the British states, then?

Regeneration In Process
You're friendly with Iceni, on uncertain terms with Cymru, on even more uncertain, slightly hostile ones (only due to their anti-Solism) with Brigantea, and ofcourse you hate Nortugal. Relations with Caledonia are very neutral (the two of you are simply mutually irrelevant, for now), although there is a Solist minority there that had served the role of a diplomatic channel.

I'm assuming the polar bears got rid of the whole Assembly then? What's the people's opinion of the past assembly then
Rather than wait to know, I will just take the Huancac. Will you speak to their military level, relations with neighbors and contacts with "old world" nations?
