In about an hour, I'll consider the "voting" finished and we'll get to nation generation. Still taking more players. The more characters we have, the better.

EDIT: Would players prefer some elements of what kind of nation they want to play or have them randomly generated and then you pick or are assigned?

@Theodorable

I vote for arranging the players into however many teams are practical, then randomly generating the nations they have to play, then the players decide which position they want to play within that nation (or if they can do a swap of roles with a player from another nation)

@Skylar

I like this idea. So I may be doing nation creation tonight, then creating the application for characters.

[MonkeyBusiness]

@Theodorable Could I vote for #2?

@Theodorable Could I vote for #2?

@MonkeyBusiness

Vote #2 won, so you're in luck. The first nation, Denzgraad, is created. See the first post.

[User]

Are the dengrad Prussian or Russian? I cant decide which

[Lone Wanderer]

How will the division of players go? Will the players decide which nations they'll be joining or will it be random assignments?
I think I'd be in support of the latter to be honest, nothing like the roll of a dice.

[Theodorable]

Randomly assigning people to a nation would be easier, it avoids lopsided numbers favoring one nation. But I can already foresee a person or people quitting because they didn’t get the nation they preferred.

[LordZell]

@User Why not both?

[User]

@LordZell One does not simply do both. It is one or the other.

Denzgraad

The Empire of Denzgraad

Capital: Zerenstédt
Population: 9,160,000
Language: Denzgradt
Religion: 91% Tarahism, 6% Mitthist, 3% Other
Demonym: Denzgradian
Government: Absolute Monarchy under Michael X (67). The Vizymr (Landed Nobles) hold much political sway.
Economy: Mostly agrarian with limited crafts and arms industry. $25,000,000 in debt due to war indemnities and trade deficits.
Currency: Denzmark
Naming Conventions: Polish, Romanian, Hungarian.
Overview: During the Constantinian Wars (1793 - Current), Denzgraad has been all but a background player. While the Taranian Regent Constantine IV walked the Tarantine Black Army both and forth across the continent, Denzgraad sent paltry forces under the guise of volunteers. Emperor Michael XI, fearful of drawing the ire of Constantine, refused to send the Denzgradian Imperial Army into the fray.
Military: The Denzgradian Imperial Army is a minute, albeit professional force. The Denzradian Irregulars are local militia's and make up the bulk of the Denzgradian forces during war time. Denzgraad is landlocked and thus has no navy.

The Royal Kingdom of Merenia

The Royal Kingdom of Merenia

Capital: Serenus
Population: 31,400,000
Language: Merenian
Religion: 88% Mitthist, 11% Tarahism, 1% Other
Demonym: Merenian
Government: Parliamentary Monarchy under Susanne of Vernwald (33), Prime Minister Quinn Trembley (51).
Economy: Semi-industrialized with expert crafts industry. $120,000,000 in debt due to war indemnities and trade deficits.
Currency: Merenian Shield.
Naming Conventions: British, Scottish, Irish.
Overview: The principle opponent of Constantine the Regent, Merenia has long held sway as one of the colonial powers in the world, her potential marred largely by corruption in politics. The defeat of the Merenian Royal Army at Ten Fields (1801) has set her back considerably and saw the Common Parliament to vote for Prime Minister Trembley's dismissal, a vote slated to be held in the coming months. With nearly a third of her population in far away colonies, Merenia is considered "the land of the setting sun," as she faces emigration, corruption and a devalued Crown that has cost her much in the way of trade.
Military: The Royal Merenian Army is in shambles after a major defeat at Ten Fields. Her Professionals number 18,000 and her Colonial forces, spread across the globe number about 55,000. The Royal Merenian Navy is the largest in the world, with 33 Ships of the Line, 55 Frigates and 68 Merchant Ships.

Please tell me WHICH nation you wish to be assigned to. Those who answer first will have preference. At the end, the nations will be rebalanced with an RNG if necessary.

[LordZell]

The Empire of Denzgraad, please.

[silver or lead]

I’m interested, Denzgraad for me.

[MonkeyBusiness]

I'll take the Royal Kingdom.

[Boop_Im_A_Dragon]

I don't really care which nation I'm placed in, just fill me in wherever there is an empty spot once everyone here has decided or flip a coin.

[Skylar]

Requesting to be assigned to Merenia, although I won't mind being shuffled around if needed to ensure player balance.

I presume there will be other GM-run other nations to deal with? Starting with PvP off the bat may not be the best beginning for the game. Some time to try and wrangle with NPC powers would help us get organized and used to the game system and setting.

[Lauder]

I’ll want Denzgraad!
