The Year of Our Lord, 1836 has seen the Known World cast astray by the machinations of technology and the aspirations of great men. Tkhe Great Powers maintain a devious status quo, haphazardly held in the balance at the point of a bayonet. These times, they are dark ones. For the cries of liberation and nationalism stir in men's hearts and few understand how the old ways will be cast aside.



SOVEREIGN NATIONS OF THE WORLD
GREAT POWERS
-- Boletarian Commonwealth (Great Power): A large and populous country, The Commonwealth is home to 73 million subjects. This large population will serve it's ambitions well as factories need to be manned and rifles held, uniforms donned. It has an army of 640,000 men that fight moderately well. The Commonwealth, since it's founding has faced many a hardship. Both external and internal, however these have only served to strengthen the unity of the nation and it's subjects, and now stands unified, with multiple claims backed by history. A relatively small Navy serves the Commonwealth, serving mainly to protect the channel that runs along it's border and protecting trade ships in it's charted territory. The Commonwealth has political claims on the Kingdom of Vressia and the Principality of Sordogne, considering the multi-ethnic standing of the Commonwealth.

-- Kingdom of Nehalenia (Great Power): Nehalenia strives for domination of the valuable sea-based trade between the new worlds and the old ones. It tries to maintain peaceful relations with the other great powers while expanding their colonial influence throughout the Western Sides and Serranthia. With a meager population of only 22,000,000, much of Nehelenia's profits come from it's vast overseas colonies in the Western Sides and Serranthia. With the world's third largest navy of 27 third rates, 20 second rates, 10 first rate ships, Nehelenia embodies an immense fleet to protect it's colonial holdings. It does however suffer from the rumblings of nationalism, both abroad and at home. It has no allies and no claims on any land. It has an army of 179,000 moderately trained soldiers.

-- Kingdom of Skeptoni (Great Power): Among the great powers, the Skeptonian Royal Army is second to none. With a population of 35,000,000, the Skeptonian Peninsula is a budding center of cultural and civilization, though it suffers from several reactionary movements as does the similarly colonizing Nehelenians. The Skeptonian Royal Navy with 30 Third Rates, 20 Second Rates and 11 First Rates is the second largest in the world, but Skeptonian Admirals have seen with growing animosity the quickly modernizing Nehalenian and Zellonian fleets to the west.

-- United Kingdoms of Dalatrum (Regional Power): A former Great Power with a meager population of only 13,000,000, The Dalatrian capital however is a bustling hub of trade between the Eastern Caliphates and the Old World and is a wonderful mix of culture and ethnicity. The Dalatrian Army numbers only 100,000 men but it's efficient command structure is considered the greatest in the world, hindered only by a lack of men able to pick up a rifle instead of tending a field. Rivalries of both Nehelenia and Skeptoni, Dalatrum is also a budding colonial power, with much of its income coming from it's overseas handling. They have a navy of 15 Third Rate, 12 Second Rates, and 5 First Rate ships.

The neighboring Zanoni Tribes have pledged fealty to the Amazonians for some time, seeking assistance from incursions of colonial settlers. With a population of 13,000,000 the queendom is one of the few entities that could, if necessary oppose the Old World powers. While peaceful, they can at any time call up over 104,000 brave warriors and riders to defend their lands and in raids have captured 3 Third Rates, 2 Second Rates, and a Nehelenian 1 First Rate ship.

-- Kingdom of Vatannia (Regional Power): Held together by the new budding Vatannian nationalism, Vatannia lies on the cusp of Great Power status because of it's hasty modernization attempts. When a civil war erupted in 1832 in Galvia to the north, Vatannia regiments marched to the aid of the monarchists and helped defeat the reactionary revolutionaries there. Because of this, the Galvian King Christopher de Ludwig has pledged an oath of friendship with it's southern neighbors. The Vatannian Army numbers 275,000 but is made up of woefully trained peasants and militiamen. The Vatnnian Army has 7 Third Rate ships, 2 Second Rates and 1 First Rate.

-- Population: Starts with a baseline of 10,000,000. Every Point here increases by (N+1,000,000). First point is 3,000,000. Next is 4,000,000, et cetera.
-- Martial Prowess: Every point here drops into a military rating, determining the efficiency, tactics, armaments and overall morale of your nation's army.
-- Cultural Unity: This gives historical claims to your nation, making it easier to expand, grow and maintain cultures within a growing empire.
-- Navy: Every point here goes into the historical development and deployment of the efficiency, strategies and shipbuilding abilities of your nation's navy. Every 1 Point also gives 3 Third Rates, 2 Second Rates and 1 First Rate ship. Every 5 Points gives an extra 1 First Rate. (REQUIRES COAST)
-- Colonies: Colonial expansion allows for enriching of the nation as well as larger population to draw on. Every 3 constitutes a "Colonial Holding," with 8 points attributing a "Major Holding"

NOTE: I tried to make it as simple as possible to see how a nation sees your nation. So here's how it works.

1 Season = 1 Turn (1 Turn is everyone being able to post and respond to an event and interact. It doesn't have a set time but once I see everyone engaged for a while, the next month will come up. If a crisis is being debated over, I won't rush it).

MILITARY DOCTRINES
Artillery Assault: With an emphasis on lines of riflemen and artillery batteries, your nation's primary focus is critical and unrelenting destruction of the enemy. With your nation's industry used to equip your nation's forces with the most powerful cannons and accurate rifles, your army's primary strategy is the quick annihilation of enemy forces. [Supplemented by Industry]

Forced Conscription: Where other nations may utilize technology or strategy, your nation simply seeks victory through attrition. If there's a fire, your generals will put it out by piling bodies on it, the most plentiful resource available. The more troops, the more territory can be taken and the more your enemy has to kill if they wish to take the field. [Supplemented by Population]

Maneuver Warfare: Utilizing fast lines of supply and communication, your armies mobile cavalry and light skirmishers will complement your nation's army to quickly outflank the enemy, striking at their flanks and rear. This is optimal for nations that need a quick victory, but these troops must be highly specialized. [Supplemented by Forests, Mountains, Rivers Harsh Terrain]

Strategic Command: Your troops may not be the best in the world (or they may be), but it is your commanders that are truly exemplary. So skilled are they that they can adapt and change. Few things surprise them, and even if operating autonomously they can often snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. No amount of genius can defeat being outproduced, out fought, or simply outmaneuvered however. [Supplemented by Train Army]

I am here.

So can we get right into the IC or shall we wait for a event to bring us into the new year?

I have a question. How do you create/get points to spend?

You can jump into the IC and play for now.

When I post the January, 1836 event then you can ALL PM your Nations and your actions.

Milkman, Great Powers receive 3 Action Points. Regional Powers receive 2. And also I'm adding that Great Powers can decrease how a nation sees another nation for 1 Point as well.

Sorry I wasn't able to finish my sheet was busy this week. Let me go add what needs to be done nd the 5th great power should be good.

@Theodorable When can we expect an updated map for the New World (and pseudo-Africa, for those who have any interest in that. ).

Sounds good LordZell.

And Dedonus those are next on my list! I apologize for the wait, the Old World just takes precedence. It'll be up this weekend for sure!

For all intents and purposes, jump into the RP, just make note that it would be December, 1835. Very cold winter that year. Heavy snow for much of the northern and mid continent, even Zukovia and Skeptoni would see some light snow.

Should I repost my application here or wait for you to look over it in the interest check?

This is shaping up to be good.
Anyone want to discuss faction relations with a backwards, old age empire?

Edit:
@Chairman Stein
Your client state appears to be my enemy.

Well this'll be interesting then.

Perhaps a trade agreement?

Oh I imagine so, will you throw your lot in with them though? I wonder.

<Snipped quote by Lone Wanderer>

I'll take you up on that offer. This clumsy giant needs it's resources.

Would anyone care to use a chatzy to talk about deals and such? us19.chatzy.com/72624317956505

Nation Name: The Empire of Zellon
Flag:
Brief Nation History (No need for any history before 1700):The Empire of Zellon started out as a small duchy that war amongst other duchies for control of the small resources the island had. Eventually after many generations the duchy grew through diplomacy and war into the single most powerful house in the entire island. It remains at peace with much of the mainland and wishes to expand their interests in the new world to trade. While they have a small colony setup in the new world their enlightenment at home and being of an island nation they remain mostly of their culture and beliefs unlike those who mix and mingle on the mainland. Having the largest fleet they are able to protect their trade lanes and keep the peace around their island. Currently the Nation is lead by a elder King named Zach Conrad and Queen Meghan Conrad. The heir to the empire is 24 years of age and is named James Conrad along with his siblings Kara 19, Zach 16.

You have a total of 28 points, as a great power the limit is 25.

First IC post up!

Excellent first post! Feel free to jump in to set your nation up before the new year reigns in.

I'd also like to say it's possible to rise to Great Power status, and it's also possible to FALL from Great Power status.

I'll also be adding a new usage of points.

MODERNIZE = 2 Points builds 1 Factory. Factories are abstracted for you, but for me they give a bonus to population growth, economy and arms industry (oh.. and Revolution). The more factories, the more money your nation makes and the more eager it's people are for change.

Mind looking at the PM.

Anybody else want relations with the United Kingdoms of Dalatrum?
