Colonial Powers

Nation Dump


The year is 1700. The beginnings of superpowers are starting to form in the world and the land is becoming more and more crowded, with the discovery of new lands the powers are now beginning a deadly game in which they try to gain as much of these newly coveted lands, and whatever wealth they may bring, as they can. Furthermore advances in warfare and weapons mean that wars are becoming bloodier and more is at stake for them. However the human mind is never fulfilled and already great thinkers are coming up with new and wonderful inventions whilst the rich and powerful attempt to persuade them to aid their nation. Finally new forms of government are beginning to crop up over the world. Republic is the word on the lips of all around and senates and parliaments are being built grander than the palaces of imperial rulers, but does the representation of the people always mean the best for the country? Or is simple autocracy the most reliable and effective means of controlling the people. You will decide, you are a growing power in this suddenly much larger world, will you lead the people to fame and the history books? Or into the dirt?

Major Power:
Kamalao Republi (Yellow)
Democratic People's Republic of Konzia (Light Green)
The City-State of Bennipolis (Dark Green)
The Kingdom of Aznavor (Light Blue)
The Corleonn-Warrus-Grudden-Nollin Alliance (Maroon)
The United Imperium of Valm (Pink)
The Empire of the Khan (Purple)
Lascaux (Purple)
The Councilate of Arbasses (Dark Blue)

Minor Powers:
The Sofon Dominion (Red)
The Peoples Republic of Dont (Orange)
Terheridon (Black)

Map:

Rules
1: Basic guild rules, let’s be sensible people.
2: Keep arguing out of the OOC, if it’s to do with the RP then let me know and I shall mediate between both parties to find an outcome, if it’s personal then just leave it out altogether.
3: My decision is FINAL. I will not have people argue with me or make snide comments, I am happy to listen to suggestions and your opinion but actually if you don’t like my decision that much, leave.
4:I’m happy for there to be some language and some gore but nothing over the top, angry characters swearing is fine, swearing for the sake of swearing is a no go.
4: Enjoy.

And now on to the actual roleplay! As you know you are playing as one of the superpowers in this new world. Edoniras is your home continent. It is where your people have grown as a nation since the records show. You may design you power as you wish, will it be a merchant nation or a warlike one? Will it employ only the finest soldiers or simply scrape up whatever people it can? People will be posting about changes in laws and fight over newly found land that will appear as the RP goes on, the first post will be mine and it will be the event of explorers returning after discovering a new land for you to colonize. However before you start backstabbing and building colonies you need to create a nation. Nations will be mainly up to you however wealth, military might and political stability come down to traits you choose from and will be rolled for by myself. These traits will either gain or lose you points and you must have zero or higher points at the end, each will be explained and you may only chose a maximum of two traits that neither take away nor add to your points total. You begin automatically with 2 points. Please put all your nations in hiders and send me a copy in PM, I can read through and check them and also it makes it easier for me to put them here in the OOC.


NS
Nations Name:
Flag:
Form of Government:
Describe the System: (Descibe how your country is run in some more detail.}
Location on Map Desired: WIP
Capital: (Please point out where in your land you would like this and your other settlements to be otherwise I will put them all on your borders for easy access of an invading army.)
Important Settlements:

Important Characters:
Traits:

Not earth but same tech and still humans. I may put stuff such as flight and steam power being discovered earlier but imagine Empire total war if you want the tech level.

Thanks for the offer, I was actually in an NRP like this when the site went down so I've got a basic idea on how to do this but if I need help I won't hesitate to ask.

EDIT: Points and traits changed, only 2 points now for a starter and I've added some traits and edited others.

EDIT: Map added as well, it's not great and so after I've done a basic one any body with some skill in map making I am happy to make a more refined version.

Ooh thanks, I like the budget most of all.How are you going to factor in stability by the way?
Also will the map be gradually expanded as exploration reveals new continents to colonise and fight over?

No worries, budget keeps people a little bit realistic, stability is for me, there will be random events that can affect your populace and the less stable you are it increases the chances of riots, strikes and possibly even a revolution. I will roll for that stuff to keep it fair. The map will expand, when I have enough countries I will make the first IC post and it will be the discovery of a new continent.
