[b][i]The Mediterranean, 476 AD[/i][/b]

[i]In 476 C.E. Romulus, the last of the Roman emperors, was overthrown by the Germanic leader Odoacer, who became the first Barbarian to rule in Rome. The order that the Roman Empire had brought to The Mediterranean for 1000 years was no more.[/i]

- In this alternate history scenario, Rome never fully divided into eastern and western halves.
- The fall of Rome has thrown their former territories into chaos, and the effects are being felt everywhere as anarchy and conflict strike.
- Many new states are forming around the once ordered and prospering Mediterranean Sea, rising from the ashes of the Empire. You are the leaders of these fledgling civilisations. 
- Tech pre-industrial. Best will be around early renaissance-era. 
- This is not historically accurate, as it is an AU. It would help to research who the leaders of whatever nation you are controlling would likely have been (if it existed in real life), but I won’t be too strict.
- You can choose to be whoever you want! Any requests I will consider, so long as they are on the map I will display below.
- Casual standards.

This RP will revolve around the conflicts and diplomacy between the civilisations around the Mediterranean. You can be any civilisation that seems realistic, please run them by me if in doubt. RPers can settle, trade, go to war, or merge with each others to form larger empires. There may even be NPC nations to interact with. Any other questions, requests and ideas you may have are welcome in this thread, and the OCC if there’s enough interest. 

This is my first proper NRP, so if any of you veterans out there have any suggestions, they are more than welcome!

This is the map I will be using to mark different nations and countries. I may or may not claim land for my own civilisation depending on whether or not people want NPCs, which I will operate if so.[/hider]
