[OOC] Precipice of War - The Big Leagues of NRP (Only generous tippers need apply)

@Brithwyr Yeah probably, I can't remake the mongol empire all by myself!

[BingTheWing]

@The Spectre dude can i take mexico i’m fresh out of ideas at this point

[Pepperm1nts]

Here is an idea for whoever takes it first: Yugoslavia.

[Brithwyr]

Do we know who is playing Japan? I feel like we have a cultural link through the Ainu - you call them Ezo - people.

@Pepperm1nts

Danubian controls most, if not all, of the lands required from Yugoslavia. Someone could be Serbia and try to form Yugoslavia but they'd have to deal with Danubian. lel

[Lone Wanderer]

Okay, this is the map claim I'd like to make as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Until I and whoever intends to play as post or current British possessions or dominions can work out a history I've just claimed what the UK holds as of the modern day with the inclusion of Malta and without their holdings in Cyprus or the British Virgin Isles which appears to have been annexed by dastardly Americans. ;)

[Mao Mao]

Didn't someone else wanted to play as the United Kingdom?

EDIT: @BingTheWing wanted to be the United Kingdoms. I don't know if he still does want to be them.

[Pepperm1nts]

See, that's why I don't like it when apps hoard territory.

[BingTheWing]

@The Spectre nononono all i was saying is that the UK guy has a lot of shit to deal with and will probably have to collab with a lot of people to make colonial histories

watabout mexico

@Lone Wanderer p.s if ever can i take australia

[Letter Bee]

@Lone Wanderer, I'm not playing a British possession, but I did have plans for subversion in Sabah and Sarawak. Want to talk those out here?

@Pepperm1nts

Romania would be a good one. They're the non-Austrian power down there. Otherwise- The Turks.

[Pepperm1nts]

Romania could have a cool storyarch dealing with the territory they lost to the Austrians. Lot of nationalist stuff could brew up down there. And although a bit strange, they could even lead the Balkan resistance to Austrian occupation. Take advantage of the fact that many of the minorities in the empire are probably longing for independence and reunification.

@Lone Wanderer p.s if ever can i take australia

@BingTheWing

Sure, go ahead. When you say take I assume you mean playing as Australia and don't mean taking/invading them as Mexico. But yeah, being in a pretty poor state and with discontent across the Empire, Westminster as it did IRL would most likely have embarked upon a movement of decolonisation involving the granting of independence to her dominions and colonies and offering them a place in the Commonwealth of Nations. I'm not definite on this however and may have Britain be abit more reactionary and try to retain/reclaim her Empire with a more conservative government whilst having only offered independence to her more troublesome colonies.

Whether your Australia gained it's independence by working with Westminster or through other means such as revolt is entirely up to you. Alternatively your Australia could have remained apart of the British Empire with effectively autonomous control if you're so inclined.

@Letter Bee

Sure, on here or in PMs. Whichever you'd prefer. What did you have in mind?

[Letter Bee]

@Lone Wanderer, I think you have a Discord account; I saw it on the RPGuild server...

@Dinh AaronMk@Vilageidiotx
Within this setting how much colonial territory might the UK have realistically retained assuming she was abit more reactionary in trying to keep together the Empire?

@Lone Wanderer

Not one of the ones you tagged, but seeing as the French kept their Caribbean, it's realistic that you would keep yours, too.

@Shyri

Assuming the UK remains a principal naval power in the world, which of my current possessions, all of which are islands in the middle of oceans I might add, do you think I couldn't have retained?

@Lone Wanderer

Anything East of Africa, generally. Pacific holdings would've either been eaten by a country like Japan, or fallen under the protection of Australia/New Zealand when Britain was unable to. Then anything in the Indian Ocean would have probably been taken by (whatever came of India) or East African breakaway colonies, like Tanganyika or even South Africa.

Anything in the Atlantic should be fair game, with maybe the exception of the Falkland Islands, which could have been gobbled by/sold to Argentina.

In my opinion as a former Britain player in this RP. :P

@Shyri

The African colonies are lost. Some of those, like Tanganyika, were German colonies that only became British after WW1. Since nobody wins the Great War in this timeline, Tanganyika doesn't become British and all the breakaway movements gain traction. If we have a South African player, they should take a shot at a Boer Republic actually.

Those nations with strong independence movements likely broke away. Those without strong independence movements likely didn't.
