The Sun Will Never Set (A Statisticless NRP)(It had a good run)

Fixed up Umbraisis as well, it was a bit too small.

@Mihndar

I think I just copy-paste this to my NS, thank you!
BTW, I didn't wish to bit off so much territory from Zanjir Islands but whatever. It's all the better for me.

<Snipped quote by Willy Vereb>

I did forget about that. Let me do some fiddling.

@Mihndar

It's fine to me either way.
Then I'll wait for your update.
Albeit if it's easier to you I can upload my recently fixed map here.
I'll be finished soon.
Maybe with some other updates if I'm at it.

The Sun Will Never Set (A Statisticless NRP)(It had a good run)

@MihndarI'll fix my map to include a portion of the Zanjir Islands.
Preferably I only take that standalone island to the right.
But maybe it'd be better if I have an actual landline border with Tin so then I can just take a small portion from the big central island, too.

I might change my main battle rifle to a bolt action, thinking about it now, or not, I'll see.

@Voltus_Ventus

We agreed on 1942-43 level technology or a bit even later.
Sans the jet fighters or such.
Semi-auto rifles are perfectly fine.
I'm just somewhat slow at converting to them. Say, the technology is ready and already produced in great quantities but Yllendthyr has yet to officially issue them to the Brascad.
On the other hand my common soldier is practically armored because mithril is pretty convenient for that.
Meaning they can survive anything but a rifle round from a few hundred meters.

Edit: You don't have to change anything BTdubs, just the dates. Keep your tanks and suck, I want you to.

@Voltus_Ventus

I want to keep the dates for now. Maybe hurry them a bit if needed.
So take any of my later techs as spoilers for the future.

@Willy Vereb The bombing took place on Sunday the 1st of September, 1939.

Edit: Also the map is on the front page.

@Voltus_Ventus

Oh well, not like I wanted to rely on these much.
It means my infantry has bolt-action rifles and SMGs while their chief anti-tank weapon is a really-really long heavy sniper rifle.

@Voltus_VentusCan you add Mihndar's political map to the first post in the OOC?
It'd make things easier to people.
Thank you in advance!

Mine is just so long because I wanted to give flavor to both the prior Imperium and the present PRK in one post. By no means take it as an outline.

Via flashback and then speech.

@Mihndar

Well, mine may also contain some flashbacks.
Albeit it's possible I'll reserve that for later when we build up a more cohesive setting for this whole RP.
On a different note does it mean your entire post is a flashback?
I mean it'd be obvious that the bombings happened a considerable time (month? years?) after you declared the existence of PRK.
I also ask this because practically all my better weaponries were developed in 1940.
My heavy tank was finished in late 1940, even.

The Sun Will Never Set (A Statisticless NRP)(It had a good run)

Unfortunately, it's very rushed but it's there. Not quite 1600 words but I gotta go soon.

@Voltus_Ventus

It's fine. I doubt mine will be that long, either.
BTW, I just remembered I haven't named my emperor yet, nor any members of the Parlaiment.
Oh well, I have circa 6-7 elven name generators already running on my browser to help me.


EDIT: I also updated parts of my military.
I added a quite beastly heavy tank which you almost never going to see.
I mean aside from airships I have no way to transport it over the seas.

The Sun Will Never Set (A Statisticless NRP)(It had a good run)

I'm now so searching for a way to include this guy as some questionable mercenary for Yllendthyr.

The Sun Will Never Set (A Statisticless NRP)(It had a good run)

Large resentful empire ruled by a small minority ring a bell?

@Mihndar

Then you should've chosen the UK. They lorded over India and a number of other colonies. Same with the French.
Austria-Hungary after the Compromise always had the majority with Hungarian population making up more than a half.

<Snipped quote by Hael>

Heavily industrialized and populated but small.

A republic... kind of. There are some fiddly bits.

You practically are an island for all intents and purposes since you only have one neighbor.

But primarily the first one.

@Mihndar

UK wa anything but small during the first half of the 20th century. Sure, their mainland was no France or Germany but they possessed great number of colonies and had indirect influence over a few other countries.
Similarly Ventium and Avalia could switch places.
Also what made you choose Yllendthyr as Austria-Hungary? The same fact that Zanshin islands is the Balkans now and it'll be the source of the World War?
Similarly you could had PRK and Tin switch places.
PRK was described by you as formed after the collapse of something like the Byzantine Empire.
Tin is the large, unforgiving and undeveloped landmass which is only tolerated because nobody knows what to do with it.

Of course there's no point of taking a joke map too seriously. So don't take this to heart.
It was a fun map albeit trying to fit our nations to the map of Europe would be quite problematic anyways.
If you ask Yllendthyr's style seems to be closer to UK/France. I have snobbish, arrogant but self-aware and scheming leadership, centuries old government which is the mix of both old and "modern", imperialism and of course a lot of colonies.
