The reason that I never had any of that Japan specific inspiration before is really because I had no idea what I was doing. I had just joined PoW, my first nation RP, and wasn't exactly sure what to do. I thought, at that point, that maybe if I swapped to something I had actually studied (Germany/Prussia), things would be a lot easier. Then, with that one, I was basically just an idiot, who gave up as soon as there was a chance of going to war with then-France Hug, like, three posts into playing it. From there, I moved on to Switzerland, which, really, I should have never touched.
When I finally got to Britain, I had managed to figure out what I was doing so wrong, and what I needed to do for this kind of RP. But I made the mistake of choosing a nation that had such a confusing backstory at that point that I wasn't even sure what was and wasn't allowed for it. So, to me, it only made sense that a Britain that was barely holding together wouldn't forever, so that's when I had Scotland and Ireland rebel for their freedom. But nobody seemed to take well to that, so thats why, in my last post before the swap, I wrote it off as a white peace, though in Englands favor.
That's the reason I want a fresh start with Japan. It's what I was originally, and never should have strayed from, if I knew what I was doing going into PoW. Britain has tons of potential, and probably could have lots of great writing done for it. I just don't think that I'm the person who should be in charge of all that.
I just need to be a nation that I can RP, knowing fully well what my boundaries are. With Britain, I really am not sure what those are. With countries like Japan or Romania, though, I know exactly where they stand, and what I would be able to do there.
If I stay with Britain, the Celts either rebelling for freedom, or maybe Scotland challenging England for a shift of power from the English to the Scottish in the UK are one of the things I would add, since, to me, it would only make sense. Both Ireland and Scotland would likely try to leave the union when the government in England was essentially erased during the anarchy. They would probably try to get out of it in order to save themselves from undergoing the huge negative effects the anarchy would have brought with it. I honestly can't see Scotland and Ireland going down with the ship that is the UK, when they can just hop off and leave the captain to clean up his own mess.
I dunno. If you do still want me to be the UK, then I guess I can be. I just feel I could leave it to somebody who could write better quality content for it, while I could go somewhere else where I could excel, as well. My time RPing in PoW on the MCF was essentially all just me learning what to do. Now that I know what I'm doing, I feel like I should be RPing with something I actually know I can make work with me.
