Eh, maybe I'm just nostalgic for the old RP with more republics. Still, half those things you mentioned there are one of and half the other nations are autocratic empires. If that's the way it's going to be though I can't do much more than complain (but I'll leave it rest).
Imperialism is in the theme of this game.
Remember WW1 which lead to the fall of empires never happened here so everyone (or almost everyone) is still in their Scramble for Africa colonization glee.
Also technically empires aren't deciding if a state is democratic or autocratic.
Britain is kinda half the birth of modern parliamentary democracy and it's a constitutional monarchy which also used to be an Empire until just recently.
If I have to split this RP between monarchies and non-monarchies the result is roughly half and half.
If i have to split this between democracies and autocracies the result is similar, or may even swing for the democratic side.

Fun Fact: Thanks to their funky Mithril construction all of my ships, even my carriers, can be built as sub-warships according to the Washington Naval Treaty.

And indeed as people post the flavor will develop.


We have a lot of nations that seem despotic at first but are actually constitutional monarchies/parliamentary countries.

Between Avalia, Ventium, the PRK, and Moravia (a one-party Fascist democracy, but democracy nontheless ) we seem to have a good mix.

Aside from having massive as fuck aristocracy and overall conservative views Yllendthyr is also pretty democratic.
Well, it also depends on the state. Some of them are kingdoms/oligarchies in anything but the name while others are basically model republics. Yllendthyr's mainland is a federation and it shows.

Being superstitious and ‘theocratic’ is sorta justified in my case, as my people are the unenlightened natives of a mostly-neglected section of the world.

But I don’t want to be some kind of wannabe conformist either, as it’s not cool to model a nation in the same way as most people here do. I’ll definitely feature some more notable elements to my realm to set it further apart from the rest of the world. And i'll leave you all saying: ''whoa. That's radical dude!'' For sure.

EDIT: Of course it has yet to be built but when it's done it'd possess the single most massive jet engine know with roughly 15 meters exhaust diameter.
...Given if it won't blow up during the test run.


At times like this, I'm not sure if the Elves are unstably dangerous, insane geniuses, stuipidly jackass'd or high as fuck. I'm going to say High as Fuck.
Elf 1: Duuuuddddeeee.... Imagine a giant jet engine, but UNDERWATER
Elf 2: Yeeaahhhh.... it'd go Vroom vroom under da sea
Elf 1: Awwww shhiiiittt, dis gonna b gud
Elf 2: Ikr? Gimme sum mo dat weed, we gonna need to be stoned higher than elf jesus to get dis to work
Elf 3: Umm... guys... this will not work.
Elf 1&2: BITCH, Y'ALL JUST NEED MO WEED, DIS WILL WORK, DIS GONNA B GUD. HIGH COMMAND GONNA GIVE US ALL THE PREMISSIONS

You got it right.
My basic idea is that when Ymheodr heard about this design he thought it's so crazy it might just work.
Thus he allowed to dub this vessel Emperor-class in his glory and to show the superiority of elven engineering.
... I'll just roll a dice and decide if it'll blow up during the test run or not.

I have a feeling that if we ever have an arms race in this RP, it won't be about what's more destructive or efficent, it'll be about who makes it bigger and shinier.

That means, we'll eventually have an airship the size of a small island and boats the size of cities. At least we'd be prepared for the apocolypse

Like when the People's Republic rains VX missiles down on your cities which are completely undefended from that sort of attack.

I will only accept them if they're full of sparkles and confetti. Bonus points for streamers and feathers. Surely the PRK has some right?

Of course. And they're also a really shiny shade of beautiful, bright red. With yellow fins. Also when they release the VX the nose goes off and explodes like a red firework.

And my IC post is done!

That said, I have not posted it yet as I am waiting on Wernher to complete (or have accepted) his nationsheet, as my POV character is from his nation and I can't write about a character from a nation that doesn't officially exist yet.

Also, I will be going over the sheet to check it for mistakes and make sure it 'flows' better (As I didn't really like the start of it that much).

I would accept him but it still says his population is 190 million people and I maintain that is too high by at least 40 million.

Everything else is fine though so you're probably safe posting it. If nothing else you can just retcon after the fact.

There are accepted profiles in this game that haven't been put in the characters sections yet. Don't worry, it's fine. Vinculi is pretty much part of the game now.

@WernherOh great timing!
BTW, did I write this right?
I mean in relation to your nation or which ruler is technically a quarter-elf and Yllenthyrean noble?

Alright, may as well try my own hand in this:


I'll detail the others once I get more time and perhaps I know more about the other nations and their stance regarding Yllendthyr.

So, my IC post is posted and I am officially now involved in things. Next up: Improving my geography and military sections of my nationsheet.

@Voltus_Ventus By the way, is the fairy island play @Gig still here or have they left?

Now I am off to go play some Fallout 4.
