General Rules
Please make sure you read all that's in this post. For any questions feel free to post them here or pose them on discord.
  • 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.
Please remember that the map is still in developement so it can be subject to change and some details are still not decided, such as climates and such. For any questions feel free to ask me here or on discord and I'll try to answer promptly.

If you want to claim land on the map please fill the following form so we can have so information about your nation.

Code: Select all

[b]Nation Name:[/b]
[b]Map Claim:[/b] 
[b]Capital Name:[/b]
[b]Population:[/b]

[b]Backstory:[/b]
Feel free to also post a national factbook here while you wait for your application to be accepted.

Nation Name: Noberea
Map Claim: N/A
Capital Name: Bolarus
Population: 70 Mil

Backstory: Noberea is a sort of slavic/russian-ish inspired nation. It is an autocratic/totalitarian state governed by a militarist monarchy. It came out of a revolution and civil war that shattered the former Noberean Empire into several splinter states.

Nation Name: Antivia
Map Claim: N/A
Capital Name: Avis
Population: 12 Mil

Backstory: Antivia is a former medieval slavic-ish principality that was annexed by Noberea. It became independent from Noberea in the 1920's and unlike Noberea it sucessfully transitioned to a more democratic nation, even if it has its issues. This nation is mostly to create some international events that can involve Noberea and others.

Nation Name: Aalen
Map Claim: N/A
Capital Name: Irmak
Population: 9 million

Backstory: Aalen was settled in the 19th century as a naval base and trade outpost by a large empire due to its favorable geographic location. The nomadic indigenous population fought a bitter resistance but was eventually defeated. Beyond sailors most settlers arrived with colonial-driven industrialisation in the 20th century, which was facilitated by access to minerary resources and ports.
Unionisation played a major role in cutting across the ethnic divide, developing the settler ethos (which is both collectivist and libertarian) and creating mutual aid networks and parallel institutions. Eventually a socialist-inspired uprising occurred in the 1970s, taking advantage of turmoil at home and disagreements between great powers. Nowadays independence is preserved thanks to a careful balancing act and playing to the country's strengths, although major tensions remain.
In this world there are two kinds of people: those with loaded guns and those who dig. I dig.

Nation Name: The Fire Republic of The Pharcyde
Map Claim: Already on the map
Capital Name: Domczar
Population: 101 million

Backstory: As its name suggests, the Fire Republic is a republican nation situated in the Fire Islands. Over thousands of years, its pseudo-Russian indigenous people have learned to fear the local volcanos and worship them as deities. The Republic is a free and economically prosperous nation whose active foreign policy, formidable navy, and exports cause it always to be in the thick of interregional politics.

Nation Name: The Socialist Nation Of Outboundstagnate
Map Claim: https://postimg.cc/5YdS10bG
Capital Name: Out City
Population: 240 Million

Backstory: Originally occupied by a now deceased empire, gained independence through a lot of steel and gunpowder. Its people live under the rule of Seloot Kig. The government is autocratic and there is no constitution. The nation is based off of natural socialism and has a great welfare policy that gives to all. Freedom is relatively respected with a few freedoms restricted to maintain a populace that is civil and orderly. The military sits at a respectable level but the primary way of conflict has been to fund rebels to cause havoc amongst its enemies. It also aims to facilitate free trade between the two continents and wishes to become the center of the global economy.

Nation Name:The Empire of Andrusognivia
Map Claim: The Calderan Peninsula and some of the Cardis Sea coast, as well as some of the Eastern Oriana coast.
Capital Name: Hapapheperoma
Population: 130 Million

Backstory: A long standing autocracy in a modern world, Andrusognivia is currently under the 78 year old emperor Esgalduin Gurubandal.
The government is a strongly centralized bureaucracy, and its economy is a highly developed neo-capitalist powerhouse. The military is a strongly supported and well funded institution, with 2.6% of the GDP spent from the national budget. The nation has many diplomatic ties, considering its long history and interactions with other nations. However, Andrusognivia also faces many enemies.
The New Age has brought about an instability with the current Regime, as the people grow restless with their limited political and personal freedoms.
The political future of Andrusognivia remains uncertain, as Esgalduin has no Heir or remaining family members.

@Pharcyde - Population is a bit ( a lot ) too big for what I envisioned to be the size of those islands. At most it should be lie 30 million or something

@ outboundstagnate - I'm not sure what you're claiming so I'll wait.

@ Aandruzognivia - You'll have to reduce the size of that claim if I undertsood it correctly, you're claiming the whole of Caldera, which is basically a continent. Also, for the record, Caldera is probably going to have a bunch of desers or something in it.

Is everyone going to say their nation is in the hundreds in terms of population? >_>

Not necessarily the whole of Caldera, but a sizable amount of it. Preferably near the Cardis sea. (we at least need one super sized country)

I will make sure to force nations to engage in economic embargoes against you then. Diplomacy will win by any means necessary (and also for that sweet, sweet monies).

I have more to add but do not wish to double post.

Are we allowed to trade through the theoritical north and south poles or are they frozen over so no trade is possible? Are we allowed to declare our own natural resources or are they chosen for us at random? Are we allowed to dispute land? Are internal affairs considered sacred and cannot be brought into roleplay?

Also, the map does not contain any singular point where most trade is passed through, this is annoying because I want to be the monopoly on trade. Good design.

North pole would be frozen over for most of the year. Southern pole is crossable.

Uhm resources are fine for people to make them up as long as they aren't overdone, but I could make a map for maybe some specific resources ( ex: oil, uranium, coal, gas, minerals & gems ) if people would think it'd be interesting, but I'd rather self-moderation govern rp in this aspect.

What do you mean with dispute land? Dispute land with other people? Sure. Occupy land that isn't claimed by anyone? Eventually, but not right now.

Internal RP is fine. I should create a subforum for things like national news and such.

Now this is getting interesting
Definitely have a map for resources. Not only would it serve as a visual way of remembering who has what resources, but it would look cool and interesting as well.

Resource map would be nice but it may be better to delay it until we all lock in our choices. Please give me lots oil or uranium or gold.

I agree on the first part, but not so much the second....unless it geographically makes sense.

Maybe the resource map only reveals resources for locked in nations (edit the map as more nations lock in to reveal thier resources). That would be smart. I will find a way for it to make sense.

[Nation Name:
Efghakeeling
Map Claim:
N/A
Capital Name:
Totenkial
Population:
200,645
Backstory:

Efghakeeling Was a established 124 years ago as a Colony of Cokania. After the Separatists Conflict. Cokania resides that the best way to stop new conflicts from arising was to put little colonies in every part of the world and to slowly conglomerate all of the world into these colonies. Then to swoop down and reclaim them all. Thus making all of the world cokania. This backfired in the worst way possible as the leadership of Comrade Tukas. Pardon my language, was ass and in his assasination. All of The colonies decided to split and become independent.

the colony is pretty small, with most of the population near the ocean. To most, Efghakeeling is a one-stop area, usually only ment to be a waypoint to other more important nations. So Efghakeeling usually goes under the radar of most nations... usually, Cokania is slowly regaining power of this colony. Either it being from the slow selling of the land to its allies or the ruffling of the feathers of the locals. Either way, Efghakeeling has make a point of keeping to itself

Efghakeeling told me they the island chain west of me.

@Catalyse: What's the map's scale? I envisioned the islands being roughly the size of Japan, which has a population of 126 million.

How large is the world exactly? Could you manage to make it into a globe so we can visualise the lands and the waters easier? All these things that we take for granted are issues here. I could probably make the map into a globe with enough time and resources (coffee) so you can work on other problems.

My claim: https://postimg.cc/5YdS10bG

It has been revised so I can block trade to Aandruzognivia. hehe

Low quality gif for the globe. https://postimg.cc/XZXyjVy9

Can my currency be the global default? 1 Golden Dinar = $1 USD
Saves us from using non-rp currencies to value things (also gives me more power :D ).

Enclaves and exclaves are the result of complex history. Good luck trying to work it out with someone. I would be open for anyone looking for an enclave if they border my nation. More enclaves means more diplomatic leverage.
