Spoiler History :

After the outbreak of the plague, the leaders of Australia threw millions of dollars at their nations' top scientists, hoping against hope that they would be able to develop a cure. The scientists did everything they could, but the plague was unstoppable, wiping out an incredible percentage of the population of humans and our closest primate relatives.

The scientists, now panicking and not thinking straight, crossbred humans with a variety of animals, reasoning that if they could make humans inhuman, the plague- which targeted only apes- would no longer pose any danger. And they were correct; the first subjects were completely immune to the plague. Despite this success, however, the scientists knew that their proposal to dehumanize humanity would be a tough sell, and the Australian government was unlikely to approve of their use of vaccine research funds for such an endeavor.

When the researchers presented their plan to the public, there was a national outcry. Most Australians were upset that the scientists' plan would not save a single infected person (genetic engineering is rather difficult to perform after the subject is already fully developed), and were extremely unwilling to subject their unborn children to such a procedure. The group most willing to go along with the plan were the Aborigines, and as time went on the human descendants of the settlers died off, unable to resist the plague, while the hybrid children of the Aborigines grew strong and thrived.

One tribe, the Gadigal, grew at a much faster rate than the others, and soon the Gadigal were the most powerful & populous group on the Australian continent. The Gadigal Leader, Jerara Tiwart, organized a meeting of all the tribes of Australia, and after nearly a week of fierce negotiations, convinced them to unite under a single nation, with him as the King.

That was many, many years ago, and King Jerara Tiwart has since become a national hero, often compared (in the Gadigal Region at least) to Alexander of Macedon or Emperor Napoleon. A cult sprung up declaring him and his house the incarnation of the almighty on Earth, and the ruling family, direct descendants of his, encouraged the spread of the religion, knowing that the people would be far less likely to question their rule if they were seen as divine. Queen Pierah Tiwart, an environmentalist, used her status as head and God of the state church to forward her political beliefs, and incorporated environmentalist ideology into the Tiwart cult; Queen Pierah was also the first Tiwart monarch to take the title 'Mother;' every ruler of the Gadigal Region since has been known not as King or Queen, but 'Father' or 'Mother.'

As the Gadigal Region grew in power, the began expanding outwards, shunning the unforgiving deserts of Outback in favor of New Zealand and New Guinea, both islands now virgin territory after having been almost totally depopulated by the plague. They also established naval outposts throughout Indonesia, where explorers heading north brought back tales of strange lands rules by Nationalists & CEOs; thus, the Gadigal learned that theirs' was not the only nation to emerge from the plague intact.

As countries the world over begin to stabilize, the Gadigal are prepared to take their place among the great powers of the world. Being an island nation has advantages, and so long as the Gadigal Navy reigns supreme, the Gadigal Region is sure to remain a beacon of stability & prosperity in this new Multipolar World.

I'll change my Greek lands, but Cyprus was a Venetian colony and I don't intend to give that up.

Oncan Empire

Capital: Tenochtitlan
Government: Imperial Monarchy
Leader: Empress Izel Tezcalan
Language: Nahuatl, not the historical Nahuatl, but a newer version of Spanish descended from several South and Central American dialects.
Population: The majority of the Empire's population is Onca, a bizarre subspecies of human that shares a significant portion of its genetics and physical features with the South American Jaguar. They are bipedal, standing at least half a foot over the average human and possessing spotted fur coats similar to their feline ancestors. They also share tails, paws, and feline facial features with the jaguar, although their clawed hands are built more like a human hand, allowing them to manipulate tools. There also exists within the Empire a significant minority of common humans, who are generally considered second-class citizens with only the basest rights and live in separate settlements to the Onca. The decision is not forced, but few humans choose otherwise.
Government: Hereditary monarchy, details coming!
Military: Coming!
History:

Spoiler :

Years before the plague ripped through the Old World, the obscure and somewhat amoral Sanford College of Paleontology began to seek financial backing for a radical social experiment; would it be possible to create a civilization almost entirely from scratch? The challenge was taken up by the somewhat eccentric chairman of the petroleum developer Kazimierz Standard Oil, who bullied the teetering Mexican government into turning over a large portion of land where the new civilization would be developed. KSO gathered some of the best scientific minds of the era to work on the experiment, including the eccentric biological scientist Dr. Eric Bright. As the land was being cleared of unwanted civilians, some of the sociologists raised concerns that gathering a suitable human population and subjecting them to the Civilization Experiment would be almost impossible, not to mention unethical. They gave an alternate solution; the creation of a new species with human intelligence to test. KSO provided a substantial reward for a successful near-human species, and it was Bright who presented the embryo of an amazing new creature, part man and part jaguar. Bright dubbed his creation Homo sapiens onca, or Onca for short.

Mass production of the species began at once, sped along by extensive cloning and genetic acceleration, until there was a sizable population of Onca to begin the test with. The plan was to drug them with an amnesiac compound and plant a subliminal message that they were a nomadic people that were driven from their home to settle in a strange new world, and unleash them onto the Central American isthmus to begin anew. It was only until shortly after the Onca were released from custody that someone decided to check and see if the amnesiac would even work on the Onca. It didn't, which became apparent when the Onca turned hostile and began raiding research outposts that were supposed to have been hidden from the unwilling test subjects. KSO immediately sent out a kill order on the expiriment and swept in to contain the damage, only to discover that someone at the College had commissioned a dozen more "tribes" of Onca to simulate other tribes in the experiment. An unfortunately timed power outage prevented KSO from reaching the cloning facility in time to stop the latest influx of Onca, some of which raided vehicle depots and armories, built by KSO for "security purposes" during their escape. The end result of the whole debacle saw KSO sitting on a hostile population of mutant jaguar-people running around Central America with military-grade equipment, growing in strength and size as more of the cloning facilities and their unwilling inhabitants were released.

Luckily for the beleaguered KSO executives, they only had to keep the catastrophe hidden for a few years before the plague hit and killed them all. The Onca, however, were as resistant to the pathogen as they were to the amnesiacs and easily overpowered the disease-ridden guardsm, finally breaking containment and securing the territory that the now defunct KSO had purchased for the experiment. No mere tribe of barbarians, the Sanford College of Paleontology could take solace in the fact that they were successful in their self-destructive attempts to create a new civilization...

Screw it, everyone seems to be turning this into MonarchPolarity so I'm going to jump on the bandwagon.

HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE​

Claims: Sorry to ask you to put my claims down for me Tani but I have a feeling I'd overlap with other people's if I tried to do it myself and cause all sorts of mess. I claim the Austrian region plus any of the old HRE to the north of Austria without messing up other people's claims. Just use your common sense mate I trust you. Imperial Yellow is a good colour also.

History: As the great plagues came crashing down on Europe and the rest of the world and as modern medicine failed to produce a cure, humanity went back into an age of superstition, ignorance and blind faith. A perfect breeding ground for the return of Monarchies.

The Habsburgs have returned, although they are not confirmed to be related to the Habsburgs of old (although telling them that is akin to a death sentence) they will lead their New Holy Roman Empire to glory.

Current Emperor: Otto von Habsburg the Third

Government: Semi-Constitutional Elective Monarchy. The state is more centralized than in the original HRE, but with the strengthening of the Imperial title came with the strengthening of the Imperial institutions as well. The owner of each elector title (which is usually tied to land as well) is guaranteed a vote in the Imperial Diet, both dynastical and religious institutions have seats in the Diet.

The Imperial Diet elects the Emperor. Although the Diet is theoretically independent, the Habsburgs have taken control of a majority of the elector titles, ensuring the succession. The Emperor has absolute authority in the matters of the state, but they often delegate their power to the Imperial Diet and other institutions.

Religion: Post-Apocalyptic Catholicism

More Later Maybe
