Unfortunately I dont feel I can continue. With my own RP, a load of college work and some recent family issues I am having to leave. Thank you for your time, I would love to carry on and I hope this goes very far. Apologies again.

If there's still room I'd like to play a nonindustrialized state.

We are open to that...this is trait based so just make sure you take traits that make you non industrialised.

This is great so far! In total there is now six including two who havent posted here...two more and we will be full. I will probably get an OOC up tomorrow or the day after with more interest.

Good to see some interest, if you have never done a nation rp before that is fine. I am very friendly and happy to explain anything that needs explaining. I already know of 2-3 people who are interested and just havent posted here yet that are equally friendly and happy to help somebody new. This isnt a competitive game, whilst there is competition, the aim of the rp is for story.

Colonial Powers

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?

So this is the interest check for a NRP I am going to be running. The style and setting is one I have done in the past and so to any returning faces, welcome back, and to anybody who is new, welcome. The mechaninc have some stats since I find that this is the best way to keep things fair and nations are built off of a trait system because, from personel experience, completely free form nations can be made massively over powered. Also the stats mean no nation is amazing at everything. I will put a limit on having 8 nations in total. If there is any more interest above 8 then I will create a waiting list. I will have an OOC ready soon and hopefully I can get this started soon.

Yeah I am trying to finalise details before I post again. Don't want to put up a tiny post just to respond to one message.

Alexander placed his files to one side as others began the meeting. He was happy not to go first and was actually very interested in what ideas the others had too offer. The idea to reduce the working hours was an interesting one, especially coming from such a capitalist individual. Whilst being an advocate for reducing the productivity of factories Alexander found that forcing factories to only give 8 hour working days would not help the economy in every way he presented. Standing Alexander created his rebuke.

"Lord Green, thank you for your idea, it is a very interesting proposal and would create extra jobs within the factories to maintain production out put. However this would not boost the economy as you think it would, whilst more people would have money less would have the disposable income required to buy products. A family who had the income of 12 hours work then lose their wage of 4 hours and can no longer afford extra consumables causing them to save and scrimp more, leading to a drop in sales for certain companies. I feel that we need massive reform rather than simple legislation change alone. This is a pillar built on autocracy and the whims of one man. Now we, as a council, need to work together for the good of the pillar."

Alexander stood, pulled out his datapad and picked up the first of the largest scrolls. Connecting the pad he opened up a holographic image of the city blueprints. The scroll was Alexander's original sketches and plans. Zooming in on the industrial district where the farms were found Alexander kept speaking.

"The current agriculture sector is made up by small holdings and some large privately owned plots. Whilst this keeps competition alive and well, in regards to our produce there is no need for it. Right now we are on the verge of starvation and in need of open jobs. My idea is to force all farmland together. The owners join in a partnership and get a share of the profits according to the percentage of land they owned before the partnership. Once done the land can be farmed as one huge plot allowing for a more productive style of factory farming as well as opening more jobs to tend to the larger plots. Further more the current technology we use to farm, watering systems and the like, are outdated and under maintained. We can open up more jobs for those studying mechanics so as to boost productivity and reduce unemployment. If we don't have enough mechanics applying then we can also create apprenticeship courses to train those who couldn't afford an education. Opening up new opportunities for them."

As he was speaking the image had highlighted the outlines of the current farmland and then the borders between them were deleted to create one huge plot of land in the blueprints.
