Lol, yah, I have something like a map, but I'll draw it anew and scan it tomorrow, since I'm a bit sleepy right now XD

I'm still reading everything but this definitely has my interest.

Wooooh LOVEE! :D

Bulgariaaa, goodness now I'm really jealous of you guys. America, Finland, Bulgaria. Such beautiful and interesting places T-TAlso, I listened to the song and I loved it ;3

But Netherlands is awesome as well! It has a lot of history, not that I remember too specific things about it, your country is just mentioned everywhere 'x), and it has adorable views. I would really love to visit there one day. I even consider it a possible place to study aboard, though I'm more interested in Germany and Scotland. There I could actually understand the local language. And that song is rather interesting. I can't help but wonder what the man is actually thinking. :D

Aand one more question! In which age it is possible to get a moped lisence?

ALIDA!!! <3 Hey darling!

And today I spent all my time playing Elsword... It was great XD I had been having error after error for the past month and couldn't fix it. Finally, today everything just got right. I am so pleased~

Vulpis, when it comes to a moped license, you have to be at least 16 years old. =3

I'm happy to have piqued your interest, Dove.

^^ I'll start working on my Cs in the morning as it's really late here.

Vulpes? Dove? How are the sheets going? I know you're trying your best, but give me some feedback X3

AlidaMaria said Oh we have tons of exchange students and especially in students cities such as Amsterdam and Groningen (the latter is the better in my opinion ghehe) you won't have any problem fitting in because there are lots of foreign students and almost everyone speaks English. But I can imagine wanting to speak the local language:) And just say the word if you need a place to stay if you one day plan to come down here on a vacation or such. There are more than enough people who'd love to host a Fin if you know where to find them :p

Great to know! Though I guess I won't be going further than Estonia or maybe Sweden if I'm lucky in about upcoming two years. And I kind of fail to understand why people would love to host a Fin. :D

Concerning our history; during the 17th century, sure we were rich and powerful. These days however, we just like to think that we still are xD But well, it's an interesting fact that the American declaration of independence was based on ours and if the English hadn't beaten us, America would be 'New Holland' and the Americans would all speak Dutch and we wouldn't have to learn 4 different languages lol. "What-if-history" it sure is nice to dream. :) The biggest problem I personally have with The Netherlands is the lack of mountains really ...the landscape is so flat that it's boring and I have fallen in love with the German mountains. Who knows, one day I might move there... Oh and if the sealevel rises high enough to let the dams break, we'll all drown xD

What if histories are fun to think, though most of the Finland's what-ifs are about "if that had happened, we would have been/would be part of Soviet Union/Sweden/Russia" 'xD It's funny to imagine dutch as lingua franca. :D Maybe I would no be writing in it and couldn't say a word english. And let's all hope that sea level doesn't rise too much.

And my sheet... I kind of haven't properly written anything down yet, though I have many ideas inside my mind. Loots of stuff to do in real life (partly self-inflicted). I'll do my best to get it done tomorrow, but it may sadly take longer. :/ Wish me luck!

Edit: Oh, just remembered a couple of questions! What kind of values are teached in the school? In a sense that in North Korea people are taught how amazing their leader is and in Finland we're taught how democracy is a good thing (though we're also told why it doesn't always work), for example. Are they those ideals of Miktiopolis?

How old Oblak City is?

Sorry if I missed this, but is Gregor Mendel English, Russian or multilanguage school?

My sheet is coming along though I haven't been on the computer today because my family is over. I've already decided what notebook I'm going to try and get. Right now working on personality and finding a picture.

Question: About when does this RP happen? I'm planning to have a certain real-life historical even in my character's family history, but I need to know about how many generations I need to have after that. Also, is the history of the world of the RP the same as the one of our world?

Hey guys =3 I was going to write last night, but unfortunately my laptop decided "Nope, time for bed. Shutting off!" and I couldn't revive it at all. Thus excuse me for the late reply.

Just a small note that I wrote a few movements yesterday. I didn't like the sound of the Fool's first movement, thus I edited it. I'll try to make it to the Wheel of Fortune today and maybe a bit further. It really depends, because today is the start of the school year >_< Time to get out of the summer cocoon and fly through the plains of knowledge.
As for when the role-play itself will start, I believe it's safe to say that once Spark has finished their character's personality, Alida has edited her character's personality and Vulpes and Dove have finished their sheets, we will be able to start.

Vulpes, Dove, I hope you're not trying out for the Hermit or the Hanged Man. X3

Dove, if you ever need an anime picture, I'm here. I have a nice collection of pictures on my laptop and I've been told I have a knack for finding pictures for others. =3

Regarding your inquiry Vulpes, I personally dislike specifying the year of any story, due to the high risk of complications that may arise during the role-play itself.
You see, if we were to state that the story begins and unfolds in 2014, there will inevitably come a time when our characters are still in 2014, whilst we ourselves are in 2015. There is a good chance of problems arising, because we would like something to happen and that said something requires something from 2015, in order to exist.
That is why I prefer to introduce an "our time" element ( year 20XX ), a time that is simply the present, but we have not stated if it is ours or not.

When it comes to world history, no, the history of this world is not entirely the same as the history of our own. While major events, such as World War I and II, did occur, more resent events, namely approximately 20 years ago, did not, because of the initiation of the Miktiopolis project and other decisions that followed. Here are some examples:

1. Zapatista Army of National Liberation in Mexico did not form. Women rights were accepted, though.
2. The Mexican peso crisis did not occur. This allowed Mexico to flourish, until it decided to make a miktiopolis on its territory. Wanting to be the top shareholder, a lot of money was poured into the project. This lead to many new jobs in the building industry, but also loss of jobs, low salaries and, eventually, poverty. This lead to the creation of MAM [ Mexicans Against Miktiopolis ], a national movement against the creation of the city. The protests were bloodless at first, but gradually grew violent and weapons got involved. This lead to other big shareholders, such as UK, Germany and India, to back off and even attempt to stop the Mexican project. The other two major shareholders, the USA and Russia, remained for, until Russia also took its leave and only the USA, Brazil and China were left on Mexico's side. Due to the great amount of foreign and local pressure, the Mexican government stopped their project. "La Estella" as it was called is not a semi-ghost town, with mostly the homeless and poor living there illegally. Many gangs have also taken residence there, seeing as there's barely any control in that area. All the money that was poured into the project was forever lost and Mexico in the role-play's present world is in a deep economic crisis.
3. The Siege of Sarajevo did not happen so bloodily. The Bosnian government managed to stop the Bosnian Serbs quickly and restored peace efficiently. It should be noted that Bosnia and Herzegovina managed to take a part of modern day western Serbia into their territory when they fought for independence.
4. There was no Second Chechen War. With the intention of building a miktiopolis nearby, the Russians had a better organization and aid from Germany, one of the future share holders. They crushed the revolts, but that doesn't mean that the people have taken in their failure well.
5. Muammar Gaddafi is still alive. He was not killed and is still ruling Libiya.
6. The death tole in Egypt was smaller during the Arab Spring. Yes, the Arab Spring did happen, but the casualties were less in Egypt and Yemen. Iraq, Libiya dn Siria are still a mess, though.

There are many events that happened, some of which will be revealed in the role-play. If there is a specific event you want to ask about, please post here =3

The specific event I'm thinking was how many people from Baltic countries were deported to Siberia in 1941. Yeah, I'm planning that some of my character's grandparents or great grandparents have experienced that.

And the RP happens in about these years, doesn't it? That's enough information because I only needed it for the amount of generations. Thanks! ^^

I am curious how you envision the conflicts in Crimea and Israel played out.

The deportations the Soviet Union carried out were before the miktiopolis project came to be, thus they would have happened as they did in our history.

Crimea did become an independent country, the Republic of Crimea, and then joined the Russian federation.
It began with president Viktor Yanukovich signing an agreement for the initiation of a miktiopolis project city on the Crimean peninsula. It was meant to create better ties with the EU and attract more funding that would stabilize the country. However, the president made a last minute decision that the city would not be located on the peninsula, but by the Dnepr river in Poltavska region. This triggered a protest by the people of Crimea, who were dissatisfied with this decision. The country had not payed much mind to the peninsula and the eastern areas for years, barely giving them any funding to fix their roads and develop any form of business. To calm down the crowds the president assured that they should not worry, because the second shareholder of the miktiopolis would be Russia. This made the protesters go relatively quiet, because the vast majority of them were Russians, however, this triggered an even bigger wave of anti-Russian protests, which lead to an anti-Yanukovich protests that accused Yanukovich for turning his back on the EU and gazing towards Russia (which was in fact true). The protests continued for months and lead to Yanukovich fleeing his country and vanishing from the public's eye. Ukrane's new president, Aleskandr Turchynov, forbid any language, other than Ukrainian, to be considered an official language. No sign could be written in a language other than Ukrainian, people could not do any business in another language and children would only be taught one official language - Ukrainian, whilst everything else was foreign. This caused an uproar in Crimea, Odesa, Dunetsk and Lugansk, where the majority of the population was Russian and they wished to remain as such. After a protest that took down the local government, the people of Crimea organized a referendum, which deemed that the people wished for independence. Former military officers and those from the military forces in Crimea organized the resistance against the Ukrainian forces. The UN General Assembly declared that the referendum was valid, despite the USA stating that it was invalid. After becoming independent, the Republic of Crimea asked to join the Russian Federation and was accepted.

Will the current developments regarding IS and the so-called "Arab Spring" in the RP diff as well from real life events?

Sorry guys real life kidnapped me over the weekend but I'm back now.

Awe thanks Phones though Alida being the dear she is already helped my find one that I like. I'll have to remember that offer though ^_^ I'm finishing up my personality and working on history.

Interesting, the events I would have wondered about was before twenty years ago so that's good to know that they happened the same as our history.

What is the situation of Scotland? Not that I would need that specific information, but I'm curious. ^^ And I will have exam week at the next week, plus monday and tuesday after that, so if we start the RP then, my posts will likely be a bit shorter and infrequent than they would normally be. Sorry about that in advance.

Don't worry, Vulpes. I myself have to apologies for not writing once for the past few days. Ever since I started school my free time has been eaten up by studying, eating, sleeping and worrying. Being a last year's no easy task x_x In the next week or so I will also have exams, so don't expect much from me. I was personally hoping to start this up on Sunday, but maybe we will be a bit late. I definitely intend to get this going by the end of the month, though. Ah, my whole body's aching! I'll get to work on reading your submitted sheet and the edited ones right now! =3

In other news, how are you all? Have you heard this song? It's a bit creepy XD
