[OOC] Age of Nations [Post 1815 to 1915 RP]

[Theodorable]

Age of Nations

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.

@Theodorable

Do we need to put any emphasize on the population? Plus what is the economy bar and how does it factor?

And have we any need to fill out the army?

xxx

If were not and create based on the Nation Application.

I have to ask what the Emphasis bar entail? What does it mean if I choose Navy and Size? What does it add?

@NecroKnight

You can put emphasis on the population if you wish to have a larger one. The economy is a static number from -1,000 to +1,000 which indicates how strong your nation's economy is.

The Emphasis you can pick add a random dice modifier. So if you select Navy, it will add +1d20 plus Ships of the Line to your Navy, for example.

Brief History Oslad, like many of the provinces now occupying the Imperial Tsardom, were once havens for large and ever quarreling barbarian chiefdoms in the days of the first civilizations. Over hundreds to thousands of years, and countless occupiers, the lands of the Tsardom are now the bulkhead for what liberals call 'Reactionary' ideology. Standing like a bear on his hind legs, the Imperial Tsardom and the Osladian Tsardom stand together as a united front against the plague of liberalism. Together with a coalition of other grand empires and great houses, Oslad and her allies were able to bring down the liberal tyrants once, and they shall do it again in the years and wars to come.

As of 1815, Oslad and the Imperial Tsardom at large prosper in the post-war era under the reign of Tsar Lubomir II, also known as 'Lubomir the Great'. The heir apparent, if Oslad is to continue holding her position as Imperial Tsar, is Lubomir's more progressive and pacifistic son, Anton. While Lubomir II preaches of the victory against the liberal hydra being a sign of 'empires to last for another century to come', the heir apparent continues calling for a peaceful solution and co-existence with the recent republics that now stand on the Continent at large. Surely, in time, the Tsar and his heir will be forced to come to heads and the Tsardom will have to make a choice.

Brief History: In the Ancient times, the known world was ruled by the glorious empire that all centred around what is today known as Plebina. For centuries their culture, economy, religion and way of life dominated the continent in a way not seen since their empire collapsed over a thousand years ago.

The lands were after that split up into their own realms, and likewise happened to Plebina. It was only under the Great Tyrant that the lands of the people of Lavarotti-culture were united by force, but the Great War put an end to it. According to the Congress of Nations, the Kingdom of Plebina was established as a buffer-state, strong enough to (somewhat) resist another Grand Invasion, yet weak enough to not expand themselves. And thus the king, King Alfonso Sebastian has focused on domestic matters, bringing stability to the kingdom through stable institutions such, and the encouragement of clergic teachers for the peasents.

He will reign for a while longer, but his heir and the kingdom as a whole is feeling a sense of change. While content with their own affairs, the people at home and abroad are growing a sense of kinship to one another. For now it is tiny and under control, but who knows when such forces known as "nationalism" will grow ever stronger?

Brief History
The Empire of Vornehm is one of the newer powers, joining in 1782, within the Imperial Tsardom yet it is a powerful one with a long and brutal history. The empire had been formed under a feudalistic banner, a feudal kingdom who took its advantage to and had pressed into the barbarian infested areas long ago. The kingdom grew over its conquests, stealing more and more land from these barbarians before eventually forming the current Empire in 1564. Lately, it has seen a substantial growth in military under the rule of Emperor Jörg Reiter and newer educational policies throughout the entirety of the Emperor.

@Polybius

Accepted! And no, you'll be randomly added to the map.

Do you have any aversions to being an Empire, because you have colonies--thus ruling over multiple peoples. You can remain a kingdom if you wish, just a question--as that was the historical standard.

@NecroKnight

The Imperial Tsardom is multi-ethnic complex of politically linked territories in the center of the Continent. The office of Imperial Tsar is traditionally elective, although frequently controlled by dynasties. The prince-electors, the highest-ranking noblemen of the empire, usually elected one of their peers as "Tsar of the Empire," and he would later be crowned emperor by the aristocracy; the tradition of aristocratic coronations was discontinued in the 16th century. The empire never achieved the extent of political unification formed in countries like Gilbadia, evolving instead into a decentralized, limited elective monarchy composed of hundreds of sub-units, principalities, duchies, counties, Free Imperial Cities, and other domains. The power of the emperor was limited, and while the various princes, lords, bishops and cities of the empire were vassals who owed the emperor their allegiance, they also possessed an extent of privileges that gave them de facto independence within their territories.

[NecroKnight]

@Lauder

Ahh, I remember. Weren't those more like duchies or princedom or merely city-kingdoms instead of actual empires inside an empire?

[NecroKnight]

@Theodorable

So I assume, this is like the Imperium of Man.

[Theodorable]

@Theodorable

So I assume, this is like the Imperium of Man.

@NecroKnight

I'm not familiar enough with it to make that comparison. Nations within it have self-actualized autonomy but the Imperial Tsar can limit it at the risk of increased unrest. Currently only Vornehm, Boccia and Osladia are player nations in the Tsardom.

[NecroKnight]

@Theodorable

So we can choose to be part of the Tsardom or not?

Would we have start fighting amongst ourselves or have a foreign enemy?

That depends, of course on the whims of the players.
