Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

For awhile now I have been planning on joing this thread. Though I have been planning on joing as my native Portugal, I'll need to get some things sorted out before I create an app. First I need know if it would be ok if I have Diturda Nacional form. It historically formed in 1926 after overthrowing the unstable 1 Republic and led to the formation of the Estado Novo. If it forms, Antonio Oliveira Salazar will inevitably become Minister of Finance. From there he would likely form the Estado Novo, but there would be one thing missing that would prevent it from forming. Influence from Mussolini. Salazar was inspired by Mussolini. Without Mussolini, there would be no inspiration for the Estado Novo.

But if it's ok, I would like to throw the Estado Novo in. The economic collapse of the United Kingdom would have a negative effect on Portugal, how severe I don't know yet. Now it may look like I'm pulling this out of the history book but if Salazar is in charge, the Portuguese Colonial War will happen. Salazar neglected the colonies. A communist rebellion would surely happen and without a doubt, it would be influence by China.

Now I'm going to need to know what happened to Portugal's Colonies/Overseas Provinces.

Angola appears to have been passed off has a German colony and later gaining it's independence. Same with Mozambique. I don't know about Portuguese Timor, Portuguese Guinea, Cape Verde, Sao Tome and Principe and Portuguese India (Goa, Diu, Daman, Dadra and Nagar Havelhi.)

I also don't know how China got ahold of Macao. Maybe I have read enough of the lore. However I would like to know China would deal with Macao's casinos.

Portugese colonies probably got lost in the chaos of the long-ass Great War. It's pretty much the biggest one-size-fits-all lampshade for this scenario.

As per Macau, that exchanged hands when the Japanese stomped it out when they invaded the Chinese mainland. Like Hong Kong that left British control during the Sino-Japanese war and then got trapped and lost in the exchanges thereafter. It would have bounced back to Kuomintang control and inevitably got wrapped up in the uprising in Hong Kong, lead by Hou and his and many of his follower's eventual escape west. After which Hong Kong and Macau were rolled in unceremoniously into China and the casinos shut down as per anti-gambling law, though I have elements of which operating underground still.

So that's how I got Macau and how Portugal lost it.

And what you do with Portugal's it's got to still end up a member of the Iberian League and a signatory of its Ibiza Treaty. Some ten years ago Spain pulled off a successful false-flag operation in Lisbon to spook the Portugese into fearing Communism as much as Spain hated it to get them to sign. Gorgenmast can get you the details, but he's between apartments at the moment so may be a while.

But in brief: what happens on the home front it has to have Portugal aligning itself to Spain and its international politics by the 1970's.

It's nice to see images that aren't whole-heartily torn from Google or DeviantArt to substitute someone's laziness with illustrative content. And you certainly have a lot of understanding on the theme, complete with first-hand. You're good Kassarock, can't really think of anything that struck out at me, save for a few small complaints.

I'm not going to consider their race any different from humans, so I'll just disregard the race bit and assume "human" and everything else is mythology. And Maharaja is probably a more fitting term than Magnate. Maharaja being "King of kings".

I'll just go and deal with some other things before I edit the map accordingly.

Using artwork for characters/Art stealing. (Civil discussion please)

As an artist as well as an amateur writer (seeing as how I'm in RP) I see this behavior considerably lazy. I wouldn't go as far as to call it theft, since we're not making money off of it. But if you can't even write a basic narrative description then it just tells me you don't write well at all. So if I ask for a character description I do NOT want an image you pulled off of Google or DeviantArt, because then I'm told you are just lazy. Write it down and submit it in.

But if you are someone like me who can draw, or draw competently enough to portray your character in an objectively inoffensive way then go for it.

As a NRP'er too I see a lot of people snagging maps from the internet or DeviantArt. But more often than not these artists freely say people can use it. But I still feel it's rather lazy. If we're meant to be writing in a fictional world, then why keep recycling the same map used many times before? It doesn't make sense to me. The only exception to this might be maps of our world where it's understandable.

Ya'll good by me.

I'll have to review the apps first and fuck with the map before we do anything. And right now I'm sitting in class while the teacher talks about the Autobahn and how the Europeans are coming over here because the Autobahn is too crowded.

@Dinh AaronMK
