A little while ago I started this NRP and it drew a lot of interest and was quite successful however unfortunately I was forced to hand over GMing to Kangaroo. (Who I am grateful to for taking over) However with the end of my exams and the resolution of personnel issues I am planning on restarting this with a few changes from my original to make it easier on myself, that way it will mean I can focus on keeping the RP running for longer at a better rate.

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 original intro for the RP and I will be looking for people to join, old and new. This will also be a more casual RP and although there will be some stats for fairness sake it will not be entirely stat based as that can become very boring. If you wish to see the original RP then there is a link below.

I wouldn't mind having a go. This is my first time doing a nation RP on this site so please be gentle! (if I'm accepted of course)

Btw, is this set in the real world? Because, if so, I'd love to be the British (seeing as I am, in fact, British myself). I saw the old one wasn't.

If I may say so, the map might look better with mountains/forests etc instead of coloured splodges. Just a suggestion.

Always good to have people for their first time, we all gotta start somewhere. I prefer to make this non real world so people can have the freedom they wish to make their own nations. Map wise the reason I don't do terrain, again, is to allow people to be creative and my Photoshop skills are piss poor. However I am happy to find maps with terrain if thats what is prefered.

I stand with gowia on terrain it's good to have the freedom we need as long as we're reasonable so no moreor-style mountain range defenses by Britain us a good model for later colonialism use them as an influence and build upon it.

I wanted to try to join this last time but because of where it was it it seemed confusing to jump in, so I will join this time.

I am interested...would look to be a smaller power in the beginning. My ruler would have been a former Captain of a super power who had gone Rogue and ended up pirating for years until finally settling down and claiming ownership of a vast amount of land near the sea and opening his shores to other pirates as a safe haven, only if they decide to join his cause.

Haha, Rip off whoever you like ;) There will be a map, I will either make a basic black and white just territory map so people can decide their own terrains and mountain ranges or lakes etc. Mechanics wise this is going to be the same as my original RP. In basics there will be some stats for fairness sake such as troop numbers and income (measured in GDP) however actions such as colonization or investments will depend on how much you wish to invest. If you want to have more detail please look at the first RP on the first post here.

Tech wise it will start as early colonial and yes we will be able to colonise new lands and explore etc. I will also create foreign powers. And with colonies there will be revolts and wars.

That sounds like a fine idea, feel free to create that History with someone else when an OOC goes up.

I'm into this, although I have to wonder what sorts of cultural liberties we'll be allowed to take...

Maybe your Captain could be from my Empire, since I plan to have as one of the bigger more powerful nations.

Hmm, I'll probably be an archipelago or a long, narrow, mountainous nation like Norway or Chile.

And I think designing what the terrain is like in your nation is a good idea.

good numbers so far Gowia but maybe get a few on standby as sometimes people just drop very quickly after beginning
