RP Map Claims Thread

Roleplay Rules
General Rules

* If you want to join the RP you have to sign up in this thread and abide by the rules set here. No applications on discord will be accepted and any post or thread made by someone that is not participating in the roleplay will be removed if need be.

* No godmodding and no metagaming. You can't control the decisions of other players and your characters can't act on something they wouldn't know, and no, you can't just have spies in everyone's bathrooms and know everything that goes on.

* This RP is not connected to Nationstates. You can, and should, be creative with your nation, within the boundaries set by the rules and roleplay moderator(s). It's also not connected to the real world.

* The roleplay world takes place in the contemporary era, meaning only Modern Tech that would exist in our real world can exist in this Roleplay, in an earth like planet inhabited by humans, meaning no other sentient races.

* Empty territory on the map can be traversed through to facilitate roleplay but it cannot be occupied or annexed by other nations unless as part of a Roleplay event. In war, landlocked nations surrounded by empty territories can be invaded from that empty territory as long as they do not border any other nation.

* Remember to use [OOC] when not making roleplay posts. Either use the main [OOC] topic to discuss OOC matters or create an [OOC] topic for your roleplay if you think it'd be needed. We don't want roleplays to be interrupted by OOC discussions.

Nation Creation

* Remember to be reasonable when claiming land on the map. Your nation can be small or large, but the larger your nation the more problematic it can be for it to be properly governed, which can make for an interesting roleplay. The Roleplay Moderator reserves the right to deny any map claims or change them during the claiming process.

* Your nation and your people are not monolithic. This means that not all your nation follows their ruler blindly. Of course totalitarian regimes are going to have a less pluralist society but these will also tend to be more isolationist and suffer from economic difficulties.

* Be imaginative. Don't use the the name of real nations for your roleplay nation or the names of famous places for your cities and other locations in your nation. Of course that this doesn't mean the names of places less known
can't be accepted, but it's up to the Roleplay Moderator to define what's reasonable and what isn't.

* Not all nations are developed nations by western standards. This doesn't mean that you'll be stopped from roleplaying as a developed economy, but diversity and adversity can make the roleplay more interesting for you and
everyone else involved!

* There are limits to your population and GDP. While there are no hard barriers, generally try not have more than 500 million inhabitants or a GDP higher than 20 trillion US Dollars.

* If you're going to include other geographical and natural features in your nation you must include them in your factbook, preferably in map form. This means you can add things like rivers, lakes and forests to your nation, though you may not change its topography.

Warfare

* War is not the end goal of all roleplay. Some people don't want to participate in wars because that's just not what they want to roleplay, or maybe want to but not have their nation ravaged by one. Be considerate of this and before you involve another player in an armed conflict ask them if they would be fine with it.

* Describe your army's equipment, number of soldiers and organization, otherwise you can't just claim to have ten thousand tanks at your enemy's borders. Armies take time to move and normally nations don't just have their whole army stationed next to their borders.

* Be realistic with your army. Your budget for your armed forces cannot exceed 5% of your GDP. Exceptions can be had but there has to be due justification and repercussions for this, such as a state of total war ( ie. World War ) or an heavily militarized state, both implying a crippled economy, conscription and most likely a lot of political and social problems on the homefront.

* There are no weapons of mass destruction ( nuclear, chemical or biological ). Chemical weapons can be used on a smaller scale but only with the authorization of both the Roleplay Moderator and the player(s) being affected by their use.

RP Map Claiming

(Current Map)
If you haven't read the rules above go read them and only claim a place on the map after you have done so.

While currently only a simple political map is available in the future I would like to include a biome map in the Cartography Thread. Currently, for the purpose of climates and biomes just follow the general rule that the further away from the equator line the colder it is.

Though I maintain the right to, when a biome map is added, to map biomes as I please in accordance with that general rule, I will also do my best to inform you of what is my idea for the climate of the area that you are claiming for your nation while there is no such map.

To claim a place on the map post in this thread describing more or less how your nation is accompanied by your map claim. You can include as many details as you like but it just needs to be a general outlook of your population, economy and government.

Claim for The Camaraderic League

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/ ... jkkDzo.png

(The big island in the north of the central sea, and the two teeny weeny one-pixel islands on either side of it, and also preferably the even teensier islands between them but those can't really be coloured so idc).

The Camaraderic League is an extremely heavily populated nation in the central seas of our world. Boasting a population of 371 million, the League represents a number of wealthy, historic religious centres, the hosts of one or more ethnic communities. The immense power of these cities was for many years upheld by a vast, impoverished underclass, until 'Camaraderization' led to the usurpation of the island's entrenched city states by the new socialist League. All told, the League now controls 3.6 trillion USD on behalf of its people. It is a democratic confederation, a strictly egalitarian polity that has a militant interest in preserving not just the pluralist society it depends on, but also to act as a constant reminder to its people that pluralism is the only successful way to organize a peaceful society on the international scene.

hello it's me Ka-ren Ka-leidoscope, the leader of The Correct Answers of Kahootology and i'd like to claim that big purple island in the middle of the map because apparently it belonged to an old nation that doesn't reside in the Rejected Realms anymore.

The nation of Kahootology has a population of 41.78 million people with an extremely robust and efficient but planned economy. It values democracy, environmentalism and pacificism

Byeolttang claim

Post by **Catalyse** » 19 Jun 2019, 22:31

Byeolttang, accepted, but the ethnies/nationalities you listed do no exist in our world. You are however free to populate your naiton with analogous versions if you want to.

Junkyardjustice, I'll talk to the holder of that nation and ask him if he's interested in maintaining it or not.

RP Nation Name: Eisernes Kreuz

Description: Eisernes Kreuz is a Militaristic Empire Known for an Iron Spirit and refusal to surrender in Battle. Formerly known as the

Further, The Military of Eisernes Kreuz is one of Quality over Quantity, and Soldiers often begin training as soon as they turn 13. It is believed this militaristic culture formed due to fighting between neighboring states Before the Eiserner Kaiserlicher Staat, although other factors do play a serious role in this.
