[OOC] When Smoke Filled the Skies (A Diseal/Steampunk styled Nation Roleplay)

[Omega]

So it is the first example then just 1 through 5 instead of going all the way up then all the way down. I just wanted to make sure.

[urukhai]

Alright so, I will flesh it our further (finish the summaries, clarify things, change x, y, z, etc.) first chance tomorrow. But the bones are there for review if you'd like.

[Vortex]

I'm working on my nation so don't close!

[Skylar]

Work in progress nation sheet to show my interest and committment to the game. Will finish shortly.

Name of Nation: The Northern Imperial State Alliance

Capital:

National Population: Aprox 90,000,000

Demonym: “Imperials” “Scytheans”

Ethnic Groups:
Scythean- The core majority of the State, the original citizens of the Scythean kingdom. Commonly characterized by their height and strong build. Most average six feet tall.

Tyran- The second-largest kingdom of the State Alliance, the people of Tyran are best noted for their ruggedness and dark eyes, as well as their technical talent with machines and industry. They also have abnormally conformist attitude towards their society even among the State, finding fascist and dictatorial measures to be natural, normal even. Very grim.

Language(s) Spoken:

SMOKY (Trade Common)

Religion(s) Practiced(If any):
The Goddesses of Divinity
The Scytheans once worshiped three goddesses, Sina, Victoria, Ygghid. The industrial revolution has brought a quiet downturn in the faith in the goddesses. While the Imperium doesn’t practice outright discrimination, faith in the goddesses has largely winded down and the religion is mostly limited to a few devout followers.

National Symbols:
- Flag:
- Colors: Red/Gold
- Creed:
“We were. We are. We will always be.”

(1-5 based on the two sides of the scale.)
Government:
Individual -4- State
Religious -3- Secular
Democracy -4- Autocracy
Dove -4- Hawk
Isolationist -4- Interventionist
Summery:
The Imperium is the consolidation of five major kingdoms combining their lands, territories, and armies to keep up with changing times and the industrial revolution. Despite this, they still retain a strong monarchy under the reign of the Raelthorne dynasty, backed up a royal council.

Economy:
Capitalism -3.5- Communism
Private -3- Public
Inequality -2.5- Equality
Summery:
The Imperium was initially a high communist state prior to the industrial revolution, but the revolution has brought about a new middle class of industrialists and merchants and forced a shift towards capitalism to stay competitive to modern markets. While they are far from a real capitalist state yet, there is great economic progress.

Society:
Open -4- Closed
Liberal -4- Conservative
Tolerant -4- Intolerant
Summery:

Military:
- Coat of Arms:
- Size: Standing core national army at 650,000, with 700,000 dormant reserves or nobility house guard.
Legionary strength varies from 1 million peacetime garrison state to 3.5 million maximum wartime readiness.

- Branches:
Legionarries- The vast majority of the Imperial Army, made of conscripts and volunteers that heed the call to battle. While their quality, origin, and strength may vary they are all courageous fighters for their home country. Modernization efforts are ongoing and persistent, but face the sheer challenge of equipping millions of soldiers across a large country.

Iron Fangs

Ironclads (Tanks)- The Ironclad corps runs the Imperium’s tanks, from the smallest scout tank to the largest landship. For some reason (mostly due to design issues during the first tanks) the Ironclad corps are predominantly female. Its a “don’t ask, just don’t ask” topic in the military.

- Readiness(What's your standing military like? How ready is it?):
The standing armies of the Imperial State number around 800,000 standing personnel spread amongst the national army and the assorted house guards of the nobility. These are the core elite of the national army.

The status of the Legionaries however is a much different story. Only fractions of the Legions are active at any time, with only city garrison units active full time. Under wartime conditions, mass regiments can be levied and raised on short notice due to widespread training camps and ease of equipping mass regiments thanks to strong industry, although their general quality does leave something to be desired compared to other modern militaries. Blunderbusses and muskets (albeit high-quality and time-tested designs) are common despite ongoing efforts to mass-produce bolt-action rifles for full rifle corps, which are instead support brigades for larger units.

Territory:
- Important Locations:

Engine’s East- Once known as Eastport, Engine’s East the largest military-industrial complex in the combined kingdoms, and most advanced. Nearly all of the Scythean heavy arms and warmachine designs were invented or first mass-produced in Engine’s East and retain production lines there. Engine’s East and a large number of its heavy industries are controlled directly or indirectly by House Tanner, a wealthy industrial noble house. Its also the only place where ultrahard titanium-steel alloys are made in the Imperium.

[Kilo6]

Looking great guys! Keep up the good work. Be sure to read the rules before fully completing your nation sheet.

[Rare]

I'm working on my NS.

Lots of Imperialists 0.0

Yeah, I noticed that too.... I'm beginning to think that some people in here may or may not like Warhammer 40k..... Just a feeling....

[Skylar]

I could switch to a more mercantilist state if that would balance things out a bit better.

Look, the Krieg look really nice and fit a Dieselpunk theme. I can't be judged for using them. :p

I was going to do a fascist state but then I'd have to wikipedia things and it'd become a whole process.

Noticed that as well.

FOR THE GR...ah never-mind.

[urukhai]

I was going for more of a Vinci feel

[Omega]

I started out kind of like the French Empire with a bit of Soviet war doctrine and developed from there.

[Cpt Toellner]

I was thinking a blend between England and Spain.

[Asura]

Reppin' Germany. :p

[Skylar]

Switching to a American capitalist nation that is bankrolling most of your imperialist ventures. And is rather tank-obsessed and has quite a few mad scientist persons.

How much steampunk robotics could I pull off here? Not asking for humongous mechs or human robots, more like giant metal attack-dog level intellect.

[Omega]

Blitzkrieg do you want our history to have any wars of note?

My current plans for my history is that Velos was just a city state akin to Greece though less civilized when the whole region was overtaken by a large empire akin to Rome. Eventually the empire decayed and fell with no small help from cities like Velos. The newly declared king of Velos married off his 3 sons to nearby cities and tribes and forged various alliances that he used to conquer the core of Courbonnais. From there Velos subjugated most of it's former allies using diplomatic and economic means forging a powerful kingdom before going forth and conquering smaller nearby nations and 2 major nations Molitar and Bardosi who were all incorporated into the growing empire. With almost all of Courbonnais now under the control of the current King of Velos he renamed the nation and declared himself the first emperor and declared ownership of the rest of the region.

A series of peasant revolts stymied the attempts to expand and afterwards the new emperor attempted a more peaceful government. This resulted in an era of economic and technologic growth building the first of the industry that began to dominate the economy of the nation today. Under his son's reign though they faced a near economic collapse that forced a massive reorganization of the government with power removed from the old nobility and a technocratic council formed. Later in his reign imperialism began to return to the forefront though now with aims towards economic imperialism as well. This caused some jealousy towards the navies of countries who already had strong navies with economic naval dominance. In recent years the navy has grown in size and strength under the last few emperors as well as outreaching diplomatically and economically while once more the government looks to finishing the conquest of the whole Courbonnais region as well as pushing east.

That just a rough draft kind of thing if anyone wants to have some history that would be great. I do not really have times nailed too much I more am thinking towards getting an order of events.

[Rare]

Kilo6, do you want to be best friends with my nation?
