[OOC] Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

[Dinh AaronMk]

So it does.

[Vilageidiotx]

Seems to be the best reference I can find for placing those ethnicities...

That being said, I think Turkestan is a good choice for name. A little broader in scope, and we've used it interchangeably with Kazakhstan anyway.

Around the Great War, the Uzbeks and Kazakhs would've had almost identical population numbers, perhaps with a slight Kazakh majority. That would've changed over the years of the Russian Empire, though. The Tsars made it their duty to replace as many Kazakhs with Russians as possible.

Aaron, you forgot to review Vincinity's application two pages back.

I suppose that solves the mystery on why we called it in Turkestan in the first place, where I was referring to it by geographic location.

I did and he's in.

Can you tell me what nations are taken?

[Pepperm1nts]

- Spain (includes parts of Northern Africa as semi-integrated colonies of sorts)
- Prussia (Modern-day Germany and western Prussia, as well as Austria)
- Ethiopia (Includes almost all of a central Africa)
- China
- Armenia
- Georgia
- Palestine (If Chrono shows up again)
- Persia
- Brazil
- Liberia
- Serbia

If you want, list a few countries you're interested in and we'll tell you about them.

[irishpirate262]

Don't forget Greece, most important nation by far.

[Pepperm1nts]

Right, Greece. See, that's why you need to stick around and post.

[irishpirate262]

Don't worry, I am probably going to post tonight, maybe tomorrow. Then I'll keep posting after that.

[Rare]

Can I be Hungary?

[Dinh AaronMk]

Write an app.

Wait, which nations are the most important within this RP?

[TheEvanCat]

The Armenians actually rule the entire world through the media and the top 1% because we like to fleece other nations out of their money with our fake religion.

TIL the Bilderberg group are actually just Armenian's in disguise.

My premier is an Armenian in disguise!?

[Vilageidiotx]

Ethiopia/Pan-Africa isn't quite a superpower. That is one of those situations where I am active enough that it makes Pan-Africa/Ethiopia one of the more important places in the story, but that doesn't necessarily translate to political power. The defining feature of a superpower - the ability to project power - is completely absent in Ethiopia, which at this point doesn't even have a formidable navy anymore.

China and Spain are the superpowers - both have shown as much by projecting power across the globe. China has interfered in the Americas, Russia, and as far away as the North Sea. Spain has interfered in the Americas and has fought for influence in the middle east. At this point, those two nations represent the ying and yang of the RP - capitalism versus communism, colonialism vs self-determination, western culture vs native culture, etc.

...and there is no USSA. We nixed that. It is just the USA again.

I am working on a post right now.

[Maxxorlord]

I find the lack of Australian representation disturbing.
