By the way in Ville's description it lists them as having 50,000 standing soldiers. The treaty we now have the signatures for states they keep a mere 10,000.
Simple mistake based on the randomized rolls I presume.
Twenty years ago Oslad, then a mere fledgling state still under the reign of Ottovan V, raised the military banner of the Royal Oslad armed forces over Valish and ended the long hated Ville state that had torn the Glavidian faith, and the north of the Old World asunder. Since those dark days the Old World has seen twenty years of peace, progress, and modernization in all aspects of life. Now, at the end of the year of our Saint Eighteen Thirty-Five Prime Minister Bogdan Zhelyazko calls for the Boletarian Commonwealth and Ville to bring their ambassadors and call accords with the continuation of the Treaty of Valish signed those twenty years ago. As it stands, the treaty is as follows.
1) Ville shall never raise a force of more than ten thousand soldiers at any given time.
2) Ville shall never mobilize her troops to the border of the Federation or to the border of Thennia.
3) Twelve percent of all Ville income shall go to the Federation as reparations.
4) Prince Garish of Ville shall remain under house arrest in Ville until his departure from this world for crimes against humanity.
5) Ville shall never raise a naval force of more than Five Third Rate, Two Second Rate, and One First Rate ships at any given time.
6) The Oslad Federation holds military access through Ville for the next Fifty years.
The meeting to discuss the continuation of these six terms shall be held in Valish in January of 1836.

Brief Nation History: The Oslad Federation is a creation of the last forty years. With the industrial revolution across the Old World came new ideas and philosophies about ethnicity, monarchy, and ideology. One of these new ideas was the brain child of a Glavidian Patriarch by the name of Boroslav Utrich; the idea of a united Osladian nation, no longer divided by the four ethnic groups that faced constant conflict in the region. Father Boroslav saw that, while divided, any of the current great powers of the Old World could overrun the fighting states and all of Oslad would face oppression by another Great Power. The only solution, in his mind, was a united Oslad under a monarch and parliament that restricted said monarch's power and kept balance between the warring culture groups. Boroslav took these ideas to the written form and the first manuscripts of "The Osladian Dilemma" was born. By 1806 the pamphlet spread to the intellectual circles in Modvona, Holsidan, Autrina, and Yugorvik, and soon 'Pan-Osladianism' ignited like a kindled flame. Pan-Osladianism became a growing idea among the Glavidian Priesthood, Pacifists, and the slowly growing Liberal movement especially within Autrina and Holsidan, who viewed the economic benefits of a united Osladian state to be too grand to ignore.
The first Pan-Osladians with authority came to be the High-Prince of Modvona, Ulgrin II. Ulgrin rose to power in the Principality of Modvona only three years prior and quickly began to 'federate' the Modvonan state and seeking agreements with their brothers in the Kingdom of Yugorvik. The federalization of Modvona gave new life to the Pan-Osladian movement and in 1810 the previously rivaled states came to meet in St. Rustok, the capital of Modvona.
The document the royals of the respective Osladian states came to write would forever be known in their history as 'The Treaty of Rustok' and stated that the Principalities of Yugorvik, Modvna, and the Kingdom of Autrina-Holsidan would unite into the Oslad Federation with both Grand Princes Ulgrin II and Grigory IV leading their lands, while the Autrina-Holsidan King Ottovan V would rule as Oslad's first united ruler. Across Oslad nationalists, liberals, religious zealots, and the common folk rejoiced in celebration and the day would go down in history as both the day of unification and the day of peace.
Ottovan V's reign ended abruptly in 1816, only six years after unification, and saw the first election for the new monarch. The Modovan royal family of Zizetik voted for their Prince Ulgrin II while the Yugorvik's voted for for Grigory IV's heir apparent, Yuri I. However the final die was cast when the Autrina-Holsidan vote fell to the theoretical father of Pan-Osladian and Liberal thought, Ulgrin.
Ulgrin II now, twenty years later, is 73 years old and many within the royal cabinet and the military foresee his passing. While he will go down as a unifier and a man who opened the Osladian markets to foreigners on a level never before seen, his death will cause another election for the new nation. Many worry of possible military intervention to prevent crisis, while others believe the election will go just as smoothly as the one before it. All that can be known, however, is that the future for the new Osladian Federation shall be one of struggle.
The Osladian Federation is a monarchy unified by a singular monarch elected by the House of Nobles. The House of Nobles consist of Forty Aristocrats and Nobility from Autrina-Holsidan, Modovna, and Yugorvik. Upon the ruling monarch's death a election is held in which the House chooses a new ruler in a month long debate period, during said time the nation is run by a Council of Ministers from the previous Monarch's cabinet and military officers.
Within the petty kingdoms and principalities of the Federation there still remains a state of semi-autonomy in which they hold their own personal governments with minor/regional lords and ministers governing alongside the ruler of said region.
Boletarian Commonwealth - Friendly/Minor Tensions - While culturally Oslad and the Boletarians are similar, tensions have been on the rise since the Federation took the Commonwealth's rival of Ville as a client state.
Ville Confederation - Vassal - With a new, friendly, reigning government in Ville after the 1815 Treaty of Valish the Confederation has become strong under Oslad's wing.
The Kingdom of Nehelenia - Neutral - Due to their geographical location and importance as a Great Power, the Federation has tried to keep peaceful and neutral relations with the growing colonial and naval power.
Principality of Sordogne - Friendly - Due to Sordogne being the homeland of the great Saint Glavidius, the Federation does all it can to keep strong ties to their religious motherland and often the Patriarchs sponsors pilgrimage to the capital of the Principality for Glavidian devotees.
Glavidian Orthodoxy - State Religion - Based upon the teachings of Saint Glavidius, a Latin scholar and missionary to what is now Oslad. Glavidian faith has slowly spread as a minor faith across the continent, however it stays strong in the North with its teachings of communal living. The authority of the faith is split between the four patriarchs of Modovna, Autrina, Holsidan, and Yugorvik with a Patriarchial Palace in Sarahek.
So I was curious as to how the RP would run in the IC section. Will it be in the same vain as World In Revolution where nations would post as their respective monarch/prime minster and make declarations/decisions within those posts or more in the vain of most Nation RPs where there are multiple characters at the scenes of said events and see/act out the decisions of the player-nation.
Personally I always found the World In Revolution method more strategic and interesting than having players write out Game of Thrones-esque novels.
I think I'll keep my nation as it is for now. A strong naval capacity and a moderate but small armed forces is certainly accurate for such a new nation. But perhaps I'll achieve great power status in the future eh?
Anyway, with that I'd say that my app is done. I'll probably add more history within my own IC posts, especially involving the Glavidian faith. For those wondering it is basically just my rendition of Orthodoxy but instead based around a Saint named Glavidius.

Note: I can become a Great Power if need be, however due to my lack of colonies and general size I thought regional power was more logical.
Additional Note: I was kind of going for a mix of Polish-Lithuania, Yugoslavia, and Austro-Hungary with this nation so it's a very weird political and cultural mix but I hope it works overall.
