Hey @Flagg, I have a question. About how far south do the Marches actually extend?
Hmmm, I've run into a bit of a problem. I'm actually no sure how many people would feasibly be able to live in a single aerostat colony floating in Venus' atmosphere, or how large it could be. Does anyone have any idea? Since some of you seem to have a far better grasp of this kind of stuff than most people.
Hey, this looks fun. I'm thinking of making an orc nation that's more than just some kind of barbaric horde.
Oh neat, we're gonna be (sorta) neighbours @Willy Vereb. My as-yet-unnamed nation is gonna be composed of a bunch of floating cities on Venus (and of course some orbitals too).
I do have a question, wouldn't something with advanced guidance systems and the propulsion necessary to correct its course while in flight be a bit prone to damage being fired out of a railgun? Don't those usually fire solid slugs?

Yeah great, go beat up on the MegaCon that gave you spaceflight and interplanetary colonies and epic amounts of anime and nekos in the first place you luddites. :P


Well, I wasn't looking for anybody's permission but I appreciate it! Vive la Révolution!

My government, before the coup, was one of the many faux-social democracies that are extant.

The clique is inspired by John Brown and his sons to a degree-throwbacks to the old communist governments of Vietnam and Cuba, passing the torch down from generation to generation. Brown and his sons swore an oath to oppose slavery-and it got them Harper's Ferry and the USA a civil war.

Here, an oath kept between families for generations, got the nation a military coup. They've been waiting for this for awhile. The crash gave them the push they needed.


I haven't thought up all of he history for mine yet, but at the moment I think the big issue from the crash is gonna be unrest from economic problems. The whole 'leisure class' doesn't really exist since they'd be a drain on the cities' resources, so most people live pretty comfortably. Well, they did until the economic crash. Which is not going to make them happy.

Well, my nation (consisting, at the moment, if approved, of Indochina, the Philippines and the remnants of the Caribbean, plus some solar holdings) will, at gamestart, be undergoing a coup by a radical clique of military officers, with plans to found a one party marxist-leninist state (or something along those lines).

Collectivist buddies!


Neat, mine's gonna be a confederation of aerostat cities in the Venusian atmosphere. It's actually a democracy, but it's very definitely big government. After all, you need to make sure things run smooth and orderly when you're floating through the Venusian atmosphere; at times you're feet away from a toxic atmosphere and heat that'd cook you alive (plus you're, you know, floating in the air).

Welcome to the Abolitionist Club.

Here's your board sword (for hacking slavers to death) and your copy of Beecher's Bible.


Oh yeah, my nation would definitely be the kind to clandestinely support 'freedom fighters'.

I'd say "Liberté, égalité, fraternité!" except the jury's out on how much the first applies to my nation. It's rather authoritarian and collectivist.
I wouldn't be opposed to it; could be an interesting little addition.
