Yeah. With 40 infamy, and it's impossible for any arabian nation to acheive GP status.
If you are playing as Nejd (and not bloody Yemen) you can ignore most of those requirements because that's how Paradox made the decision.

Olaf's real name is "CPU 1". I played Shogun 2 with him yesterday. He is pretty good.

Aye, that. Just a few points:
The First Official Flag on there is the Stars and Bars, the first version with seven stars. It was quickly expanded first to nine, then eleven and finally thirteen - representing all the Confederate States (the confederates considered Missouri and Kentucky to be part of the Confederacy). The thirteen star version is the one that was used by far the longest of the versions of the Stars and Bars (as an official flag, no doubt there were still people and regiments flying other versions).
And the Third Official flag is the one that was only used for about two months.
Finally, the "Confederate Battle Flag" was really the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia. It was used by other units as well, as the whole confederate flag business is very messy, but it wasn't the battle flag. Like I mentioned the Army of Tennessee used a rectangular one. And not until 1864, before that they did not really have a standard one as far as I know.

Could I just make a simple request?

Would you all be so kind to stop using that stupid flag to represent the Confederacy. I am, of course, talking about the "rebel" flag, the rectangular battle flag, which was never used by the Confederacy to represent the Confederacy. It was used by, for example, the Army of Tennessee to represent said army. And a version with a lighter blue saltire was used as a naval jack during the second half of the war.
So, please, do use the Stars and Bars, the Stainless banner or even the Blood Stained Banner (though I personally wouldn't as it was only used for the last two months of the war or so). Or you could use the Bonnie Blue Flag. If you have to use a battle flag, use one that makes sense with the image you have. Picking a scene from the battle of Gettysburg and using the flag of the Army of Tennessee is, well... The Army of Northern Virginia had a square battle flag.

Sorry, I am just getting a little bit annoyed over stuff like this ;)

what was the model name of the musket of the Russians Prussians and Austrians?

The Russian muskets were made, from what I've read, mostly in Tula. About the Prussians and Austrians, no idea.
Prussian muskets were generally made in Potsdam, so you got for example the Potsdam musket Model 1809. The Austrian is the Model 1798 I believe. And the Russian (Tula Musket) is Model 1808. That's pretty much how it is - you call them "Model {year}". It should also be mentioned that all those muskets are more or less copies of the Charleville. You'll find that a lot of weapons and equipment is merely copies of other nation's stuff. For example the "Prussian" Blücher Sabre (1811 Pattern) used by the Prussian light cavalry was the British 1796 Pattern LC Sabre with a different name. And the heavy cavalry counterpart of said sabre, the 1796 Heavy Cavalry Sword, is a copy of an Austrian weapon. And so on.

Hmm, whoever posted the times needed for promotions in rank (Moogs I believe) is wrong. I've only been logged in just over 7 hours and I'm already a Private - whereas Moogs specified 10 hours...
It's further down on this board. Private was 10 hours when I posted the ranks in that thread, but was since changed the 5 hours. All other times remain the same currently.

Just like with TW forums you need to be active at least once everyone 15 min to stay "online" in terms of time count, yes.
