January 1st, 1815. For the first time in so many years, there is peace. The Congress of Nations has begun and is set to establish order so that never again such a great Tyranny might befall the Continent. The Great Powers will arrange themselves as the Gendarmes of the Continent, forging alliances, treaties and pacts so that law might reign in anarchy, that law might subdue chaos. Still, nations ply their trade, the people rebuild, and the politically inclined look toward new fires. The seeds of nationalism burn brighter now than ever before.

New ideas have found their home in the corners of men's minds. Liberalism. The poison in the heart of Empire. You must strive to maintain Order. Ensure supremacy by expanding trade, maintaining peace within the realm, and conquering your enemies. The old ways yet remain. The Old Ways yet sustain.

I'm in, as usual.

Sounds pretty chill. I'd be down to clown.

Here. Ready to rule the waves!

I am here! GLORY GREATEST COUNTRY!

Excellent, excellent.

We'll need minimum 5 players for the Great Powers. :)

I'm in.

I will come and give it a go.

Feel free to throw some ideas around on nations. The only thing currently set in stone is the Imperial Tsardom, a composite monarchical system similar to the Holy Roman Empire, comprised of "slavic"-esque states headed by the "Grand Tsar." If anyone was intending to have a slavic Great Power, they could certainly begin as the Grand Tsar. It'll be comprised of 15-20 minor NPC nations with an interesting, interconnected political system.

I intended on reviving Oslad and this Imperial Tsardom sounds most intriguing.

Anyone else wish to contest him for the position of Imperial Tsar?

The Empire of Vornehm shall contest this position!

I'd be more than happy to throw in my interest here, and my inspiration shall be...shall be...hold on a minute.

Ah yes, this works.

The kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmonte, the unifier of Italy and prospecting Great Power.

...as soon as the idea of a nation is created and unified under one king.

Ha. Please select a number between 1 and 50. Same for you @Chairman Stein we shall let luck decide.

Ha! Boccia is a bit of an Italian-inspired city-state but we need a nation to form.. Etelia?! (Or whatever unified state you wish to call it!)

@Theodorable

I select the lucky number 13!

@Theodorable I take that as "Sure, go ahead and unify Italy! I won't mind!", so thank you very much ;) I'll come up with a name later on.

So how's things with a map? Will you make one?

Yes sir! I'm quite the cartographer (if you look at the Boccia map above!)

OKAY! We have enough interest! To the OOC!
