The New World - OOC IS UP

@Commodore

will read it asap

@CycloneFair enough, I'll keep my pop roll then but can I ask if fireworks are a thing? I wonder if it wouldn't be too far a stretch to say that my people would have a fascination with them.

@ClocktowerEchos

eh, do some research and if fireworks existed in the real world pre 1450 (they probably did in some crude state) then you can have something similar.

@ClocktowerEchos

Reputation is mostly flavor so it can be changed without me making a big deal. I suppose your rolls are on the weaker side so getting more urbanization is fine too. I'm more loathe to give to give a higher population considering that with the other changes you'd be approaching perfect rolls, but I'll permit an increase of something like 500,000-750,000.

Basic Demographics & Geography

Territory Size:
3. Your nation is smaller than average but there's still plenty of territory to work with. While the lack of endless farmland might prove an issue, you do at least enjoy the benefits of relatively small and easily defended borders.
Population:
2,100,000 (small)
Urbanization:
1. Your people are so dispersed that barely any settlements are large enough to be called "cities". There might be the occasional small town of a few thousand, but the people mostly inhabit hamlets with populations of a few hundred, on small villages of a single clan or large family, or are otherwise scattered about on homesteads entirely separated from one another. This rural nature allows you to utilize much more of your land than you otherwise would, but though you may have plenty of agriculture you lack the concentration of infrastructure needed to develop industry on a large scale.
Government Type:
6. Your nation has this strange thing called democracy. Get this: the people actually vote to elect their rulers, and a ruler might only reign for a fixed period of a few years! Of course, there's probably countless slaves, women, and poor people that don't partake in this political process, but your republic is still quite radical and progressive for its time.
Political Stability:
4. Your country has the occasional highwaymen, but they mostly hide in the hills and forests far out in the countryside. By and large, your realm is stable.

Economy

Overall Wealth:
3. Your nation is rather weak economically, but you're developing. With a rapidly growing economy and likely a transition towards urbanization and industrialization, your people are happy. While you may not be an economic superpower yet, it's looking like you're beginning to enter a golden age that just might catapult you there.
Government's Primary Means of Generating Income:
4. Your government has a way of having wealthy patrons voluntarily give their money, mostly in the form of bribes and political donations. You might have a small issue with corruption...
Technology:
3. Rapid Modernization, your nation does not lag behind the rest of the world, and even sets the standard on some levels. No doubt there's some Commonwealth influence behind this.
Agriculture:
10. Your nation is not naturally a fertile or bountiful land, but through great feats of engineering your people have conquered this issue. You have cut terrace farms into the sides of mountains, built hanging gardens in your cities, cultivated vineyards in the rolling hills, and planted fruit-bearing trees along the streets. As your population grows, the need for food demands that your people conquer ever more of the harsh wilderness with labor-intensive construction projects.
Natural Resources:
Silk, tin, copper, coal, small deposits of rare metals

Military
Military Size
5. Large, strictly volunteer corps of professional soldiers that takes considerable upkeep. A sizable and reasonably effective standing army, but little else supports it during wartime.
Military Focus
4. Decent navy; heavy archery focus in army with massed spearmen standing in a line to protect the archers; a fair amount of magic users for battle
Military Leadership
1. Generals are very loyal to the government but gained the position by hereditary status and not necessarily merit
Military Reputation
7. Popular domestically, considered unremarkable by most foreigners

Unacceptable. You cannot simply utter the gods' names and expect to reap the rewards.

<Snipped quote by Cyclone>This almost describes Yllendthyr to the T. Oh well, looks like I'm gonna play elves in two games consecutively.
There are few elements which I might wish to change though. So rerolls? Also I thought you'd post these in the PM.

@Willy Vereb

I'm posting all rolls here so that they're somewhat public and you can look at what other people have for resources and such, and maybe talk with the other people of similar rolls. Like some of the people with theocracies were on the Discord talking about their religions for instance.

I don't use random rolls to determine resources, I just gave you the rare metals because I remembered Yllendthyr and thought you might like.

concerning rerolls,

<Snipped quote by Skylar>

I'll allow you a few choices:

1. Trade your entire set of rolls for someone else's if you're both up for that
2. Reroll everything
3. Reroll one section (military, demographics, or economy)
4. Rewrite a few things with my permission. I'm fine with you changing minor stuff (especially the flavor details) if it will make for a better story.

Cyclone

If you want to do any of those 4 options, just let me know

Basic Demographics & Geography

Territory Size:
3. Your nation is smaller than average but there's still plenty of territory to work with. While the lack of endless farmland might prove an issue, you do at least enjoy the benefits of relatively small and easily defended borders.
Population:
10,000,000 (Huge. you're the most populous nation on Albion.)
Urbanization:
4. Your nation is unusually urbanized. You might have a lot of towns or a few really big cities, but either way a fair amount of your people have migrated to the population centers. This opens the door to much more industry and commerce but also leaves more of your people vulnerable to the dangers of city life: organized crime, filth, and disease.
Government Type:
5. Your nation is ruled by the sword, and the cogs of its "political system" are oiled with blood. Though they might put it more eloquently in order to conjure an image of legitimacy, your nation is quite frankly ruled by whatever warlord(s) are currently at the top of the food chain. This chaotic military dictatorship has the potential to perhaps transform into something more like a monarchy, but for now birthright means nothing and the man with the most soldiers at his back is always the man that lays out the law.
Political Stability:
2. Your people are growing increasingly discontent, but so far it hasn't boiled over to the point of violence. Or if it has, your government has found a way to suppress it before it erupted into anything major.
Economy

Overall Wealth:
3. Your nation is rather weak economically, but you're developing. With a rapidly growing economy and likely a transition towards urbanization and industrialization, your people are happy. While you may not be an economic superpower yet, it's looking like you're beginning to enter a golden age that just might catapult you there.
Government's Primary Means of Generating Income:
8. Your government requires tributes from the various nobles or cities, which leaves them up to their own discretion in finding a way to procure these taxes. In some manner, it's probably the peasants that actually end up paying for these taxes, but at least the job of collecting all that is delegated to a handful of people so that your central government doesn't have to worry about it.
Technology:
3. Rapid Modernization, your nation does not lag behind the rest of the world, and even sets the standard on some levels. No doubt there's some Commonwealth influence behind this.
Agriculture:
1. Your people don't farm much, probably a result of having land of poor quality. Instead you depend heavily upon ranching and dairy. This allows for a stable and perennial source of food so long as your herds stay healthy and you protect your many grazing lands.
Natural Resources:
Meat, leathers, tin, gemstones

Military
Military Size
4. A school of battlemages, but little else to serve as a standing army. Levies and mercenaries both utilized during times of war to create an army of average size.
Military Focus
2. Poor navy; heavy cavalry focus in the army, a few magic users for battle.
Military Leadership
4. Generals are incompetent; often appointed without military experience; largely decadent
Military Reputation
1. Unpopular domestically; considered devious by foreigners

Basic Demographics & Geography

Territory Size:
3. Your nation is smaller than average but there's still plenty of territory to work with. While the lack of endless farmland might prove an issue, you do at least enjoy the benefits of relatively small and easily defended borders.
Population:
4,750,000 (above average)
Urbanization:
2. Aside from your capital and perhaps one or two urban centers, you have a very highly rural population. There is likely some system such as serfdom, in which knights or other minor nobles inhabit estates that oversee a region and its people.
Government Type:
1. Your nation is ruled by a theocracy. Perhaps you have a secular king is nothing more than the puppet of a powerful church, or perhaps your king is the head of the religion and acts as more of a high-priest than an administrator. Or perhaps the clergy rule as an oligarchic caste. In any case, deus vult!
Political Stability:
4. Your country has the occasional highwaymen, but they mostly hide in the hills and forests far out in the countryside. By and large, your realm is stable.

Economy

Overall Wealth:
6. Opulence and obscene wealth define your nation. Your streets might not be paved with gold, but great monuments, beautiful works of art, and a large variety of public works stand testament to your economic power. Your government of course has the funds to do almost whatever it wants.
Government's Primary Means of Generating Income:
2. A levy system exists throughout your nation. Every family is expected to contribute in some form to society, be it in the form of working for part of the year on construction projects, to giving a certain amount of food to supply the military, to even sending off a son or two to join the local army.
Technology:
4. Technological Parity; you're keeping up with the rest of Albion pretty well.
Agriculture:
3. Turnips and radishes are almost all that you grow, and so most peasants eat those revolting foods almost exclusively. While there's enough food to go around, malnutrition and lack of diversity are large issues.
Natural Resources:
Dyes, hemp, small deposits of rare metals, alum (a type of mineral useful for dyes, medicines, and a lot of other stuff)

Military
Military Size
5. Large, strictly volunteer corp of professional soldiers that takes considerable upkeep. A sizable and reasonably effective standing army, but little else supports it during wartime.
Military Focus
3. Poor navy; emphasis on light infantry and guerilla warfare in the army; a fair amount of magic users for battle.
Military Leadership
6. Competence of generals varies greatly; they are usually powerful sorcerers; decadent

7. Popular domestically, considered unremarkable by most foreigners

Here's the template for your nation sheets as was promised. I had hoped to get the Commonwealth's sheet done as an example, but alas that will have to wait.

Nation Sheet Template

Name: (Feel free to make some giant fancy wordart for YOUR GLORIOUS NATION'S EQUALLY GLORIOUS NAME)
Flag/emblem/symbolism: (optional; feel free to give picture or description)
Demonym: (What are your people called? The English? The Bwitish? The Fwench? The 'muricans?)
Description: (A summary of your nation goes here; basics on what's going on and what the country is about. Traditions worthy of note go here, recent history, unique traits,...)

Government: (Your rolls gave you a general guideline, but feel free to elaborate and go into as much detail as you like here)

Economy: (Just describe the major industries, activities and how they are organized. What are notable exports and imports? What is your nation lacking? Your rolls should help you figure this out)

Religion: (if present, more than one?)

Geography:
(Jungle, grassland, mountains, etc. Be sure to identify where on the map you are, preferably by posting a clip of the region you wish to occupy, keeping in mind the relative size of your territory as was given in your rolls. We may have to move you around to make it work.)

Population: (was given in your rolls)

Demographics
(Makeup of your population; info of the different species of your people, further subdivided into ethnic groups if you like, maybe even mention linguistics)

Notable Locations
(Give us some info about your capital, other important cities, maybe where your forts and colonies (if you have any) are located)

Personalities of Note
(Your ruler, perhaps your highest military officers, generally just use this space to help us keep track of your POV characters)

Institutions:
(Major non-military institutions of the nations, such as legislative bodies, guilds, religious sects)

Military:
Organization: (professional/militia/levy/..., doctrine, tactics, equipment, though the latter can be put underneath as well, etc.)
Troop Total: (keep reality and upkeep in mind, e.g. 3% of your population as full-time professional soldiers would be a whole lot. Many seemingly unrelated factors can go into this, including abundance/lack of food and your nation's wealth)
Army:
Navy:
Other: (Such as siege equipment, internal security, important mercenaries, spies, etc.)

Other:
Special traits, remarks, boons and flaws(Here is your chance to decide something unique and important about your nation without basing it on the rolls I gave you. You may have 1 big strength that makes you special, 2 big strengths and 1 big weakness, or 3 big strengths and 2 big weaknesses. Ask if you're having trouble coming up with something)

Feel free to adjust the formatting however you like to make it look pretty; I'm not a stickler about that sort of thing.

Basic Demographics & Geography

Territory Size:
4. Your nation has an average sized expanse of land. There's enough for agriculture, cities, and then some wilderness. Your border is large enough that smugglers can sometimes make it through, but by and large it's still defensible.
Population:
6,750,000 (exceptionally large population)
Urbanization:
3. Your nation has the typical ratio or rural folk to city dwellers: that is, there's probably about 8 or 9 in the countryside for every one in the cities. What is there to say? It takes a lot of farmers to support those craftsman and merchants in the city!
Government Type:
9. Your nation is effectively a magocracy - that is to say, it is under the rule of magi. Whether this just means that one mighty wizard in a great tower effectively rules as a dictator or that there is an entire ruling caste of magic-users is up to you, but make sure to include unicorns.
Political Stability:
2. Your people are growing increasingly discontent, but so far it hasn't boiled over to the point of violence. Or if it has, your government has found a way to suppress it before it erupted into anything major.

Economy

Overall Wealth:
2. Your nation was once in good enough shape, but recent events have caused a large recession and now your economy is shrinking. If this isn't resolved soon, major issues will arise. The people are used to a higher standard of life than they are currently experiencing, and as food supplies contract there may be mass starvation and the collapse of industry, commerce, or even government.
Government's Primary Means of Generating Income:
5. Tariffs on trade (both internal and foreign) provide your government with most of its money. Of course, your merchants probably don't like this and there's probably a lot of smugglers that try their best to avoid these hefty taxes.
Technology:
1. Slow Modernization, your nation does somewhat lags behind the rest of the world, with many of your people stubbornly clinging to traditions and conventions.
Agriculture:
10. Your nation is not naturally a fertile or bountiful land, but through great feats of engineering your people have conquered this issue. You have cut terrace farms into the sides of mountains, built hanging gardens in your cities, cultivated vineyards in the rolling hills, and planted fruit-bearing trees along the streets. As your population grows, the need for food demands that your people conquer ever more of the harsh wilderness with labor-intensive construction projects.
Natural Resources:
Marble, wine, olive oil, iron

Military
Military Size
1. A small number of city guards, constables, and the personal retainers of nobles are the only standing armies. In wartime, vast (albeit seasonal) armies are mobilized via levying the peasants.
Military Focus
5. Powerful navy; small but decent army; fair amount of magic users; capable corps of siege engineers and sappers.
Military Leadership
6. Competence of generals varies greatly; they are usually powerful sorcerers; decadent
Military Reputation
3. Popular domestically; considered capable by foreigners
