This RP is set in 2015, and history has been completely screwed. One of the aspects of this RP is that players will be able to change history completely from the classical era to the current year. While names of major events will stay the same, with some possibly being erased, and the technological level will also be the same, players may completely change the outcomes of these events and what nations participated in them. I will try to keep a tight leash on how much territory any one person is allowed to have, and try to mediate so agreements about the outcomes of events are mutually accepted. Resources and population of areas are also the same, with some variance allowed for population. Rules: 1.As per the usual, standard RP rules apply. 2.Guild Rules apply as well. 3.Keep arguments out of the OOC, if it is related to the RP add me and all parties involved to a PM and I shall mediate from there. 4.I am not infallible, nor perfect. If you have problems with any decisions, PM me in a kind and respectful manner. 5.Be kind and respectful to others in the roleplay. 6.The RP shall start on the first of January, 2015. App Guidelines and Format: 1.Anywhere from 1000 B.C to 2015 A.D is modifiable and decidable by the player. Do note that if issues arise over certain areas and events, I will be mediating so we can all work out agreeable outcome. 2.Technological level is the same as our day, keep this in mind. 3.While you do have total freedom, for the love of god keep your nation serious. 4.Territorial size will be limited, do keep this in mind and do not build world-spanning empire. 5.Realism in the sense of the various scientific laws is still present. Name of Nation: Territories:(When doing this section, just name the countries or regions of modern day countries you wish to take) Description of Government: Description of Military: History: Other: Name of Faction: Type:(Corporation, Rebel Group, Political Movement, etc) Assets:(Personnel, Land, other buildings, etc. Although land will be extremely limited for Factions) History: Nothing else to say, so lets see how this goes, and yes I know the OOC is terrible but there is not really anything I can do to improve it. I claim Germany, Poland, Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, The Netherlands, Belgium, Slovenia, and Croatia, as well as the Alsace-Lorraine region of France. This does seem like a lot, but when actually put on the map it's rather small. I also plan to have a few colonies.

Name of Nation: Roman Republic Territories:France,Italy,Spain,Portugal,Switzerland Description of Government: Republic Description of Military: Sense the days of old the Roman Republic was able to adapt and work with the technology as they once ruled over all of Europe will soon rise again.

Name of Nation: Republic of Texas Territories: Texas, New Mexico, Kansas, Colorado and Oklahoma. It has a small swathe of Mexican land as well, rounding out the South-West corner of the state. Description of Government: Republic government much like the US government. It is smaller in scale and some of the terms are different, but it operates nearly identically. Description of Military: The army is best described as a compromise between quantity and quality. Moderately sized. The Army is designed for mobility and quick strikes, with enough APCs or other armored land vehicles to transport every one of the ground troops. They lack heavier firepower as a result, however. The Navy is well-armed. One supercarrier, five destroyers, ten frigates, seventeen patrol ships, three amphibious transport docks, and other support craft. The Marine core of this Navy is small, but armed to the teeth and trained to be the best Texas can offer. The Air Force consists of around 108 fighters and fighter bombers, plus cargo planes and several other support aircraft. The use of drones hasn't really caught on because of fears about electronic warfare. History: Native peoples from the lands known as Mexico in our timeline migrated North to find their own land, and intermingled with the natives already living there. After a few skirmishes, peace was finally established, and happiness ensued. Not for long. Settlers from other lands came and tried to conquer the land. The Texan people fought bravely, but over half of their male population was lost as they fought long and hard. It was a Pyrrhic victory, but by the 1800s, Texas was left alone to lick her wounds and recover. Withdrawing into some isolation afterwards, Texas suffers some from a heavy distrust of outsiders, but continues to survive fairly well. Other: This country is fairly isolated and doesn't like to help outside nations. (edits still in progress)

History: During the last Ottoman invasion of Byzantium the Catholics decide to help there Orthodox brothers. They beat the Turks out of Europe and give most of the stolen land back to Byzantium. (Most ofModern Day Turkey/Greece). Byzantium, Having recovered most of there land and being a great power again, goes to war against Armenia and Georgia wanting to conquer them. The wars are quick, and they join the empire. In 1492, a Byzantine explorer by the name of Alexandros Justinia, finds the New World when he lands in Florida. He sends back half of his exploration group to alert the king. Most of the group makes it back and the colonising of the new world begins. Quickly, Byzantium claims Florida, naming it New Constantinople. They set up a large outpost there and begin exploring westward and southward, when they land upon the Yucatan. The Byzantines, who had only had minor encounters with the natives, where surprised to see a working empire in the area. The first Byzantines who made it there where treated as weird outsiders. The Byzantines find this as an insult and we now enter the first main conflict in the Americas. The Mayan-Byzantine war begins when Byzantium invades the Maya. The Maya, not being prepared, are quickly wiped out by the Byzantines with there guns. Byzantium creates its second colony in the Yucatan. Back in Asia, Byzantium attacks the Mamluks, and they easily take Lebanon, Syria, Iraq (The Mamluks expanded), Jordan, and Israel/Palestine. With the recent acquirement of Jerusalem, they attempt to repopulate it with Greeks and Armenians. They send out most of the Arabs in the area and ship them off to cities in Syria. Within 10 years, Jerusalem is a majority Greek city. In the Americas, the Byzantines start to claim more land, taking Georgia and the Carolinas. All the territories they take together are named New Byzantium. For about 100 years, the Byzantine empire is peaceful, they rename themselves Greece, after an Emperor takes control who finally realises that they are Greek, and they colonise all of the colonies they control now.

Also England/the UK is reserved for a friend who PMed me about it. Kebab is accepted [and yes to your PM perhaps] and to Inkdrop, tis of decent quaility but a few more paragraphs for history would be nice.

Name of Nation: The Most Excellent Order of the British Commonwealth and Empire Territories:(When doing this section, just name the countries or regions of modern day countries you wish to take) Description of Government: Description of Military: History: Other: Name of Faction: The Agency Type:(Corporation, Rebel Group, Political Movement, etc) Assets:(Personnel, Land, other buildings, etc. Although land will be extremely limited for Factions) History: Name of Faction: The House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha Type: Royal Household Assets: Technically all British Commonwealth and Empire provinces belong to the family, and they remain dukes, monarchs and nobles in German Lands. Due to the Constitutional Monarchy Status of the United Kingdom, and their German lands belonging to a seperate soverign nation, their power in regards to land is limited, however they have considerable political influence and some power, as well as loyal supporters. History: What's this then? Well, its the Queens family... but with a few differences. With no WW1, the family did not change their name to The House of Windsor. The Salic law in Hanover was amended due to immense pressure from the United Kingdom, and thus Victoria was also the Queen of Hanover. As a result the reigning Queen Elizabeth II is also titled Queen of Hanover... which is a part of The United Provinces of Great Germany. The family also never gave up its Germanic titles, honourifics, lands etc.
