Does everyone understand that your orders don't take effect until you post IC?

@Theodorable

Did you get my orders?

@Theodorable

Would it be possible to have some more historical context for our setting? It's tough to jump in without a back drop of some geopolitical factors that will give us a better feel for our world. At least for me it would be advantageous.

@AmongHeroes

We are an industrialized nation in the early 20th century on the brink of war. If you need more then discuss some of your goals that you set or about something in the PM you sent Theo. Like if you chose to increase military training "military budget increases to better train men" might be a topic. Something like that.

@Theodorable Did I get aggression from the border tension or is that an action/order you have to take?

The Grand Republic of Karlev

The Grand Republic of Karlev

Arise Karlev! Arise!

Head of State: Grand Prince Bogomir Sokolov

Demonym: Karlevian

Since time immemorable the Grand Republic has stood as a vestige of the old way. A Republic in the name, Karlev is a mercantile aristocracy ruled by a Council of Princes, who elect each new ruler as the next 'Grand Prince of Karlev'. The earliest mention of Karlev as a nation state in known history stretches back to the mid-14th century. Where, after generations of occupation by the former Osladian Empire, the Karlevian feudal lords and money-meisters rose in revolt against the crumbling Empire to stake their claim as an independent entity. From those early days as a fledgling city-state of Karlevygrad the Republic has grown to be an economic and naval powerhouse. Ruling both eastern continental naval trade and the waves of the Narrow Sea. However as Karlev enters the new century change is inevitable for the old guard Republic. The Merchant Guilds grow fatter and fatter, and do not take kindly to the bureaucrats in the White Palace demanding greater taxes upon their guilds and trade, and in the west Karlevian political commentators speak rumors of growing tensions between the other continental powers...

Map Claim: I saw a few other people apparently get their desired location and I'm sort of basing this little Republic off of this area on the map, marked in red. So I'll request that but if not I can edit my history/nation accordingly.

City/Town Names:

@jakeb1993

Helpful advice, Be as in depth as possible don't just do bare minimum.

[Theodorable]

Flag Info

Just something I cooked up quickly. This is an reissued flag originally the borders were black, but changed to dark navy blue which is the color of the Federal Gov't. The stars which represent each state were originally in the clutches of the Eagle's claws, with the large star on the chest. Representing the Royalty's power. Instead now they hang over the Eagle which represents both heritage and the fact the states IE the people are more important. The large star is representative of the capitol state. All other states are yet to be named. The following links are the sources I used to make the flag if you are inclined to check.

Nation Name:Bundes Wiederaufjuwel Republik

Head of State
Zuerst Kanzler Norman Bach

Demonym
Rusrgem, Resurgemany

Brief Description:
The namesake of the federal republic is after its capital city. Which translates to Rising Gem. It is the center of the nation, still host to a few mines left over from boom times. The city is host to art, science, and industry that is seen as the precedent to aspire to by all. It's past of a recent imperial monarchy still colors the nation militaristic to say the least. Not even a hundred years ago the country was under the imperial rule of the last emperor Heinrich. The need for change came at the outbreak of what was called then the de jure war. The Emperor made compromises between Two houses to end their conflict in peace. However they chose to settled their differences with violence. Several sorties of armed men ensued resulting the death of innocents and the end of a house. With the populace outraged the nobility was able to gain their support in a bloodless coup to instate a Federal Republic. Ironically most of the government's power derives from the nobility, who hold several seats in the Bundestag. The Royalty still plays a role in politics and is privy to certain powers though limited by nature. Notably though, the role of Kanzlers has slowly been turning over to the captains of industry and other such businessmen who are dabbling into politics. At present the nation's government is host to many Warhawks. Where the idea is, it's better to be ready than sorry.

Government Roles
It should be noted all positions of power in the government are Democratically voted in, however voters are limited to land holders. From there these representatives serve the people to the best of their ability. Or atleast that's how it's supposed to work.
Zeurst Kanzler-
The First Chancellor is perhaps the most unique position among the diet. The position is charged with the duty to uphold the Nations Integrity, by overseeing both the Diet and the Chancellors who legislate over their own states. During votes, the First Chancellor may Veto a bill, call for the Chancellors and sub-state diets to vote; or call for a public census that can ban the bill in the first place if he so chose. He is the head ambassador and between the other Chancellors elects ambassadors from their cabinets. He also commands the Armed forces. Though he doesn't micromanage them on a daily business. The position is highly esteemed and highly subject to public opinion. The term lasts for 6 years first Chancellors are rarely relected though there are presently no limits as to how long a Chancellor may stay in their position.

Kanzler-
Chancellors maintain and oversee their state Diets. They may Veto or call an public Census of the state. Chancellors have the unique power of being able to suggest bills to state Legislature. Finally similair to the First Chancellor, Chancellors command the militia IE the police forces of their respective states.

Bundesabgeordnete-
The Federal Assemblyman represents their state of origin in the Bundes Versammlung(Federal Assembly). They may propose new bills and vote as they see fit. The Federal Assembly as a whole manages annual census's, reports and emergency hearings. Bi-annually the Assembly hosts public hearings.

Staatabgeordnete-
State Assemblymen represent the countys they are elected from. The may propose new bills and vote as they see fit. They also manage their originating county's census assessment.

Nation Name:Bundes Weideraufjuwel Republik

Head of State:Kanzler Norman Bach

Demonym: German

@CowboyCommando

Hey to let you know you might want to change your Demonym to something not related to the real world. Theo has informed me that he doesn't want to have real world cultures and countries in the game. Of course you can always act german, just don't call yourself german.

[CowboyCommando]

Thanks I'll think up of something. I might have still missed that subtle detail even if I wasn't tired. xD

[Theodorable]

@ClocktowerEchos look at your dossier. I've updated it quite a bit.

[LordZell]

@ClocktowerEchos look at your dossier. I've updated it quite a bit.

@Theodorable

So you are going to update our dossiers for turn two. Also for the third time what does aggression do. Like does it help us justify war or is it just there. Oh also I thought our orders don't take effect if we haven't posted yet. because if that's true how come fuso got a new thing when he hasn't even posted...
