-A special thanks to Shurik, who developed the history of this AU and will be working on additional information about the economy, and who is also currently brainstorming maps and flags. We will be working collaboratively on this AU, I will handle the weapons and ship design/engineering part of it, ...

I was thinking something like a Union of Caribbean Communist states that builds ships domestically and buys them from the Warsaw Pact, paying for it all with cash crop exports like sugar, e.t.c So, like...
The same questions need to be answered no matter whether you want your AU in the 1880's or 1980's. How much affect do you want your AU country to have on historical events? What sizes of ship do you want your country to build up to? Carriers? Battleships? Cruisers? smaller. Do you build your own or...
