[The Nexerus]

There really isn't any other sensible candidate. You're totally unwilling to make any changes?

[NecroKnight]

@The Nexerus

I created my country basically as Prussia. I ain't much mood in getting steam-rolled. Or having to change my history.

[Theodorable]

@The Nexerus

It's fine, don't push the issue. I'm sure we'll find our Tyrant before the IC begins.

[The Nexerus]

@The Nexerus

Why won't you be? You got the better history for it.

@NecroKnight

Aontas has the smallest population of any nation so far, is geographically isolated and is only a regional power. There is no worse candidate for Tyrant than Aontas.

[NecroKnight]

@The Nexerus

Well, your history does say it you being post-war. Plus, I assume that anybody who had been the Great Tyrant had his country steam-rolled and likely dismantled/reduced to prevent another such incident.

Since that is what 'historically' has happened.

[gowia]

*Sigh* I will make Civitas the tyrant, we shall say it was formerly held by the tyrant who was deposed upon defeat. However, Tyrant manages to steal a huge fortune of treasure and what not, which then is pumped into the Civitas economy and the people. However, with defeat the country has it's borders reduced and restricted, losing a great deal of land at home (Not in the colonies). Then becomes a point of debate "Was letting the UTC with a slap across the wrists just or too lenient?" The state of the army can be down to the current administration being very jingoistic on returning these lost lands and supporting a strong army in the state.

EDIT: However having one of the smallest pops for a great power and smaller military, may I then take that the military is super advanced only because steamrolling a continent without numbers would be nigh impossible.

Edit 2: Can I get a rough date for the Tyrant to be deposed so I can do my first post pre-1915

[NecroKnight]

@gowia

Well, you have the most money.

[The Nexerus]

Well, your history does say it you being post-war.

@NecroKnight

That doesn't make any sense as a sentence. I have no idea what you are trying (and failing) to say. My best guess is that you were referencing the fact that Aontas' history mentions the country having just recently exited the Great War—a fact as correct as it is irrelevant. That establishes that Aontas participated in the war, as with every other non-neutral player, and nothing else. For reasons I have already succinctly described, Aontas is a terrible choice for our Tyrant. Possibly the single worst.

Plus, I assume that anybody who had been the Great Tyrant had his country steam-rolled and likely dismantled/reduced to prevent another such incident. Since that is what 'historically' has happened.

@NecroKnight

I believe you have your wars confused. You're thinking of Hitler, not Napoleon. France came out of the Napoleonic Wars in a far better state than it was in before the revolution. It was larger, more populous, more stable, et cetera. France even retained its place as a Great Power, and as continental Europe's primary military force.

Not that those facts are at all relevant, of course. For one, the longest of our submitted national histories is what... three paragraphs? It would not be much of a chore, or a loss, for any one of us to rewrite our histories. Second, we don't necessarily need our history to mirror the Napoleonic Wars exactly. Our main revolutionary aggressor, for instance, could be German-styled rather than French-styled.

@gowia Thank you. I think Civitas could work.

[gowia]

@NecroKnight @The Nexerus - guys...stop...I'm doing it, let's move onto RP. Yus? No OOC arguing

[NecroKnight]

@gowia

Fine.

[Mao Mao]

This looks interesting... it's rare to see a nation roleplay set before the 2000s. So, our location is randomly selected along with our stats?

@The Spectre

Really? I don't think I've ever been in a post-2000's NRP.

@The Spectre

Mhm, with the exception of the two emphasis options in the sheet. Your nation is also generally placed somewhere where it fits in. My nation was Scandinavian style, for instance, so it was put in the north next to a bunch of Nordic-styled NPCs. Plus, Zeelonia was specified to be landlocked and was made landlocked, Slavic-styled nations are off in a clump in the east, etc.

Also: I'm in the Chatzy if you're still around.

Emphasis
Stability & Education.

Brief History
In the year 1800, the Batigefalé Empire was still in a bloody revolt against the Ávila Royal Family. The revolt was in its seventh year as the Ávilist (supporters of the Ávila crown) slowly pushed back against the farmers and the lower class members. The cities of Sarzedela, Tarouba, Azia, and Tierrachá were still controlled by the rebels, meaning that their last province was Salillas. The smallest province in the empire and the Ávilist military was getting closer to their cities. All of a sudden, the Medellin and Varejão families soon rose against Ávila in the capital city of Millares inside their palace. The siege of the palace lasted for two weeks before the wealthy families managed to enter the family’s master room; however, their had escaped by a secret tunnel. The city of Millares was under the rebel’s control and that caught the Ávilists by surprise.

The province of Salillas among with the cities were saved for the harsh treatment of the Ávilist military and the rebels were finally able to push towards Millares. The heads of the Medellin and Varejão families met together and announced that they were the new rulers of Batigefalé and sided with the rebels. Prince Lucero Ávila II stayed behind to protect his family as they fled to [EMPIRE/KINGDOM NAME HERE]. The Ávila Royal Family lived as Lucero was surrounded and placed under arrest by the newly established, Medellin-Varejão Royal Family. The remaining Ávilists either fled to that [EMPIRE/KINGDOM] or fought against the New Order until their deaths.

The Ávila Revolt was finally over in 1801 as Mariana Varejão-Medellin II took the title, “Queen of the Batigefalé Empire.” The fourteen year recovery was hard for the nation as their military and navy were crushed by both sides of the revolt. Their economy was in ruins to maintain the fighting and the population died for several reasons—they all tie back to the Ávila Revolt. Most thought that the country was going to back up into several smaller nations, but it didn’t for two reasons: Stability & Education.

The stability in the empire was restored as the Varejão-Medellin families took the crown for the Ávila family. Mariana Varejão-Medellin II was the first ever queen in the empire’s history and that caused many to consider her as powerful. And she truly cared for the lower class more as she ensured that schools became public and free to the general public. As she has written to one of the nation’s most well-known writer, “Everyone has the right to know what’s happening all over.” The education improved as Mariana allowed schools to be free. The lower class were able to finally send their children to school without paying for the first time in their lifetimes. Adults, of course, went to school as well to read more and learn about math and science. After they are finished with school (with high grades), they can either attend one of the universities in the country or just go into the workforce. Most went to the work force, but some decided to take that extra step forward.

However, all of that could be taken away as fears of the Ávila family returning to claim their rightful throne once more. If they were to have the support of [EMPIRE/KINGDOM], then things will get bloody. That’s why the Queen is improving relations with several nations before they decide to attack back. If she manages to get enough aid or an alliance with a Great Power, then they could have a fighting chance. In the year of 1815, Mariana Varejão-Medellin II is ready as always to lead her nation into the future.

Additional Info
The Batigefalé Inquisition is coming to an end because of several reasons. The Ávila Revolt was one of the big ones as it accelerated the decline. The Varejão-Medellin families knew how bloody the Inquisition was getting and they wanted to end it to ensure that the country would become more stable. The Old Faith (notCatholic) were still around and being taught as the New Faith (notProtestant) came to existence. Some could say that they were the last nation to practice the Old Faith. The Ávila family planned to 'rid of the Old Faith' before the revolt happened. It was one of the main causes that the lower class revolt. With the fears of Ávila returning, they planned on banning the Old Faith entirety and destroying any copies that proved the Old Faith's existence.

@Theodorable Next to me first National Decision, it say I must spend 10 Political Power. What does that mean? Do I have to enact the decision and then let in run for 10 turns, or is Political Power another stat that is randomly generated?

Also, how does "Agression" work? The same national decision says I will gain 5 Agression for enacting it, so I take it as something akin to "Agressive Expansion"?

@ONL

The 10 Political Power was removed. A National Decision can be taken for free every other year. And yes, Aggression is equivalent to EU4's AE. It just makes other NPC's not enjoy your presence.

@The Spectre

Accepted. Swamped at work so expect your nation sheet tomorrow.

[Polybius]

I've got my turn orders, but only half my IC post, so I will wait until tonight to post. Can we discuss game details in the OOC @Theodorable, i.e. trade agreements etc? Don't want to waste actions if another country will not accept a trade agreement. Also, I was going to expand my colonial possessions so perhaps I should wait until a world map is available?

[NecroKnight]

@Polybius

Send a trade agreement your way.
