Alright, I got a few questions and here they are: 1) Has anything happened to Hungary?

Nope.

Rare said
2) Has anything happened to the countries around Hungary?

Not really. I'm sure there's some "implied" things. But nothing new has really happened. There's the collapse of the Turkish monarchy, but that was something that happened before we moved here, so it's not anything you couldn't gleam from the OP. Otherwise there's the proximity to Russia and the influence of the Mafiya, which is maybe only a bigger issue in Poland-Ukraine. There was some discussion and me allowing Duck to do some stuff with a small faction of the Mafiya in the Balkans, but he hasn't materialized to make it official in IC yet, but the idea's there and I think he wants to do it.

3) Is anyone still playing Prussia?

Hugs was, but he abandoned us and left us to limbo with him for stat-based RPs. If you want to go give him shit and bring him back, then be my guest. But we're still recognizing Germany as a major power.

Rare said
4) Is the wiki good to use or still a shitty place?

I've cleaned up most of the noncanonical information (or added the appropriate tags to the noncanonical articles, and noted them with a header to take them with caution). There's still a lot of clean up to do, but it's gotten better.

The New Empires

In so far as I can tell, still a lot of Work in Progresses. There's only yours and one other completed app.

Okay, I think I am gonna go with Japan. Anything else I might need to know about it before filling out the app?

Well, Japan involved itself in China in 1937 and between then and withdrew around the year 1958 after a series of setbacks including the attack on the Imperial Naval base in Dalain resulting in the scuttling and capture of most of their ships including a I-400 class submarine and other major naval vessels. With that, other general defeats and set backs, and the defeat of the Unit 731 biological research unit (and the Chinese recovery of a good minimum of 10 military years research on Chinese civilians) the Empire withdrew from China, and cut off its support from the former Qing Emperor Puyi in the Japanese-formed Manchukoko state over Manchuria. With the Empire gone Imperial Manchuria crumpled and the Civil War in China basically ended with the Communist occupation of Beijing.

It would be for about another twenty years the Chinese and Japanese would clash again. China would move on Japan to liberate Taiwan and restore it to the Chinese state and facilitated friendly revolution in Korea. Although the Tokyo Treaty - which officially resolved the Taiwan question - also ended the Revolution in Korea and pretty much established North Korea under a Juchea-state (which later was overthrown by a more moderate Communist party).

From Taiwan Chinese soldiers moved to the Philippines which overthrew the interim government they imposed after revolting against the US and started a pro-longed period of on-and-off conflict for the Philippines. After which China put into power a communist government after some war drama.

The Third International keeps the Communist states in China and abroad loosely united. Or, any Communist state that doesn't hate China. The Philippines are in it as well as pretty much most of Indochina. You could probably postulate that China made a big red belt cutting between mainland Japan and its island possessions/puppets in Guinea and Java.

There's more information in one of the Lore Summary posts following the OP. I think it's the second one that should have the summation of Asia's lore. Japan's in there too.

Some [optional] Wiki reading:
http://precipiceofwarroleplay.wikia.com/wiki/Chinese_Revolution
(Probably a better alternative since the above hasn't been updated at all)
http://precipiceofwarroleplay.wikia.com/wiki/Liberation_of_Taiwan

If you poke around more you'll find a few pages concerning Japan too. But it's worth noting most are declared and tagged noncanonical. We've had some rough moments with Japan which just didn't make sense, and us trying to fix it afterwards only made it worse. So we cauterized it.

The New Empires

Yup.

Three years running and the only alt-history RP I care about at this point.

Question : is my app accepted in its current state? I plan on adding a few more cities and some additional people but that be fluff for the most part. Just wondering that before I add a.ny thing new

Well you said you'd reduce the size of your Empire and I'm not sure if you did that. And the Sky Knights thing is still there...

And given I'd like to have seen a simpler app format since it's all more-or-less fluff anyways: I personally don't care. I'm more than likely to add way more significant people than asked in the application, settlements, and other things. At that point it'll likely turn into a Precipice of War fact-sheet, keeping more a log on the things I introduce so I have stuff to refer to myself.

EDIT - I checked and it does seem a lot smaller. So you're OK given territory.

I judge my landmass roughly the size of current day Spain, and used the lower end of the scale for density of population calculations, just shy of the lowest.And I'm not sure on what's too big, given the shear amount of land still open, and not having any idea on how many players will be allowed in this.

Feigling I remembered posted saying that the land was about the size of Asia. I don't know if that was supposed to be in regards to the left-hand landmass or not, but I assumed it is.

My kingdom I wrote at being just a bit larger than the Kingdom of Kongo, by roughly 10,000 square kilometers (but with these people I'm not dealing in absolutes given they don't think to claim an absolute value and deal arbitrarily with territorial lands). This in all makes it a bit smaller than Cambodia, which is at something like 50,000 square kilometers. Using that as my measure I took a map of Asia (This one, actually) and blew it up to roughly fit (or to get Cambodia to roughly fit to a rough scale over the Satyr state) as best I could with PaintToolSAI, rotated it too, and put Cambodia over top my state to get an idea and hung it over a few others to get a rough idea of how they compare.

That's how I scaled things at least. I plugged in a value in my app so there's a base for size and we have something to be relative to; even if vague.

EDIT - and recreating this - though I should just keep this all as one file - you're not so much the size of Spain as you are the about size of India. With Bangladesh and Burma thrown in for good measure.

The New Detroit Caliphate ( A Fallout Role-Play)

As a quick grammatical correction: Islam is the faith, Muslim is the adjective of things pertaining to it as well as the word for the practitioners.

As well, after the Second World War, but before 1965 the version of the United States presented in the Fallout Universe dissolved its 50 states and lumped them into 13 regions or "commonwealths" (reading material). This was hoped to streamline legislation, but only ultimately resulted in each Commonwealth competing against and at the expense of others.

Vault Tech was also the body that really decided what to do with Vaults. Though it's very likely that a little balm greasing could do big things.

Well, Russia seems a bit complicated for somebody just hopping in. I figured it might have been, but I wanted to ask anyways. It will be a decision between Japan and France, then. What are the things to keep in mind for those two nations then?

Unless we changed it: France is currently allied to Spain. So though it may not be immediate it will come up soon that you'll be asked to join or you'll need to choose to join the brewing war in Africa no doubt.

Prior to that, France was briefly a member of the Ottoman-founded Central Eurasian League. This however fell apart when the poorly-founded league couldn't hold together its own member-states and there was a three year war between Germany and France. This ultimately didn't escalate to much as everyone kept out of it and both forces withdrew.

Japan is still an absolute monarchy under the Emperor. Hirohito could be dead or alive now, that's your choice to make. However something to note on them is they're not as dominate over Asia than they used to. Their position as being the regional player in Asia was usurped by China who managed to liberate Taiwan (adding it to themselves) and half of Korea before managing to get the Japanese to recognize Chinese demands and half-assedly agreeing to peace. China recognizes Japan for having committed war crimes on their soil during the Revolution, including the unrestrained actions of one Unit 731, but the Japanese haven't recognized those. The Third International is also something to keep in mind, since its premier member and founding state is next door.
