Why don't you just play as Great Britain if America isn't a sovereign entity?

<Snipped quote by TheSovereignGrave>

Because this idea was more appealing to me, and I would prefer not taking up GB+NA as a single player. Feels too much like a power-grab.

How come the Greater German Reich contains Georgia and Azerbaijan on the map?

Nation Sheet
Name of Nation: The Great Northern Alliance
Leader Name: Semis Isaac Brown, Semis David Crowl
Location On Map: Canada, Alaska, Greenland, Iceland
Type of Government: Dual Republic (two leaders of equal power are elected. The two Semis (halves) create the laws together and lead the nation. If a law or decision cannot be agreed upon the citizens take a tie breaker vote.)
Brief History (2 to 3 paragraphs minimum): This history is exactly the same as our own until 1837. This is the year that a part Canada attempts to start a revolution and make Canada a Republic. In this history, the uprising gets support from Canada's citizens and even America. The two initial fire fights transform into a full blown revolution, with the goal being freedom from Britan. With American help, Canada wins her freedom from Britan and quickly forms a Republic. Everything is prosperous for Canada for many years, even outbidding the U.S. for Alaska. In 1901, Canada and Greenland sign a defense pact. In this history, Greenland invades and takes over Iceland in 1839. During 1908, Iceland attempts to start a revolution against Greenland, so Canada also hops in to defend her friend. A few countries do not like two higher powered countries bullying one small one, so some nations join Iceland's side, while others support or join Greenland and Canada, this starting World War 1. The Pact consisted of Canada, Greenland, Russia, Germany, Britain, and France. The opposition, named the Allies of Freedom, consisted of Iceland, USA, Mexico, Italy, China, and Japan. The war was brutal and bloody, so brutal that most countries pulled out, leaving only the original three combatants. The three countries agreed that more fighting was not necessary. So, in 1913, they sat and came up with an out of the box treaty. The three countries would combine to form a union, where all three countries were equal. They would share equal wealth, taxes, and laws also, to ensure equality, two voted leaders from any of the three countries would serve equally . It took 3 years to organize everything, but eventually the treaty was complete. The Great Northern Alliance was born. Everything was peaceful with the GNA until years after the First World War, in 1926, a leader emerged in Britain, blaming it's current crippling debt on Greenland and it's inability to control it's domains. Britain, lead by Adam Hitlemson, declared war on the GNA. Nations quickly picked sides, thus beginning the 2nd World War. The Allies consisted of the GNA, USA, Germany, Russia, and China. The Enforcers consisted of Britain, France, Italy, and Poland. The war was long and bloody with one of the highest death totals ever. During the tail end of the war, it was discovered that Hitlemson had been mass killing those of Nordic descent. Britain was invaded and occupied, Hitlemson was captured and put to death by the GNA, and the other countries quickly surrendered ending ghetto war in 1939. The Cold War happened as usual, only about 10 years sooner and it was the GNA instead of USA vs Russia. Peace followed for many years, until 2006. In 2006 Iran coordinated an attack on a highly populated business building. Many innocents are killed. The GNA quickly invade Iran, and occupy it for three years before letting it go into a new government's hands. It has been peaceful for the GNA since then.

A decent work out video will make more than a blockbuster movie. Equality is a huge thing in GNA culture, keeping everything fair is very important to them. Racism was never an issue because of this. All religions and races are accepted.

I.. Uh... Are all the IC posts going to be like that? Because I was expecting something with, I don't know, a little more depth and length to it.

This is good, I would just say clean up the app a bit, and then it is accepted. (Make paragraphs, center everything)

<Snipped quote by Vanguardian>

Done.

I plan on making my first post tomorrow, but I just realized a major flaw in the current posts. How exactly did anyone in Jerusalem or Jīdū manage to translate a message that was presumably written in a language that evolved from ancient Phoenician and most likely doesn't exist in either of their worlds?

Well that's no fun at all; you just handwaved the problem away.

To be perfectly honest, you're kind of starting to lose my interest here.

<Snipped quote by TheSovereignGrave>

I have to get the story going somehow, and don't worry, it will get interesting, I promise. This will be the last time I get rid of an issue like that.

@TheSovereignGrave If it makes you feel better you could say that the best linguists in their respective nations studied the message and managed to match it to the version that existed in their world and were then able to decipher it to the point where it is roughly understandable.
