[OOC] Colonial Powers NRP (Reboot/New Thread)

[darkwolf687]

I need to have a strong economic partner to offset the state controlled market blow to my economy. Likewise, I need a strong military partner to offset the major problem of having about one musket to go around my infantry army of ten men lol

And whatdya know, the first two nations to join fit that bill! XD

[null123]

Yeah I won't totally rape you, Lance Empire will probably do trade unless you mess with any of there colonization efforts.

[Iluvatar]

Lydiah is essentially going to be the tiny, insignificant nation that is constantly bullied and threatened by larger, more powerful neighbours.

XD

My land army isn't any good either, you know! The defence strategy I had in mind for Lydiah involves the navy working in conjunction with the pathetic Lydiahn army (I won't give any more away :D).

Also, if we do get to decide the terrain of our nation, this is what I plan Lydiah to be like:

Possible map of Lydiah

The only major pass into Lydiah would be the gap in the mountains in the province of Seven Rivers, from which any invading land army would presumably come. I guess the grey area will probably end up being the Lance Empire (if my map is acceptable at all)

[darkwolf687]

I meant the Lance army. If I set up trade agreements with Lydiah and military agreements with the Lance, I'll have the assistance of two major powers to offset my own problems.

My plan is a lot simpler since I have a powerful navy "You need to cross that massive sea to reach the new world, so if you don't play nice with me, good luck with making it there!"

I'll probably do a sketch of what I imagine the Corustarian isles would look like some time tommorow, as well as PM my app (Can't copy and paste from my phone, so I need my laptop to submit it)

Now, where are all the other nations

[Iluvatar]

Okay, I see. That could work.

I'll probably still need to pay off the Lance Empire though. Worst case scenario, Lydiah may even end up as a vassal of the Emperor (which is a bad thing, btw).

Perhaps he won't be interested in such a tiny bit of land?

I wonder what kind of sizes and traits the other nations will be/have?

[null123]

At worst you will end up in there sphere of influence, unless you somehow fuck with them then you could end up a vassal.

[Iluvatar]

Okay then... *whimpers*

[null123]

The Glorious Republic of New Drakran

Nations Name: The Glorious Republic of New Drakran
Flag:
Form of Government: Dictatorship
Describe the System: Formally known simply as Drakran, the former king of the nation (King Rolland) spent the last few hours on his death bed creating and passing an edict that stated that his son (Prince Kiue) could under no circumstances be King or the ruler of Drakran in any manner. Once King Rolland had passed, Prince Kiue honored his wishes by dissolving the nation of Drakran and its monarchy and founding the Glorious Republic of New Drakran in its place, being elected as president by the registered voter (Himself) in a landslide victory.

While all matters of state are under the direct overview of the President and it is a popular belief that President Kiue's eyes and ears hear and see everything that happens within his own boarders with the aid of a large network of agents, Kiue himself tends to let things be provided that it is functioning smoothly. Day to day affairs tend to be handled by one of the many guilds that have been brought into being by the President, allowing them certain legal rights and tax breaks for themselves and their members in exchange for taking care of their own personal affairs and being answerable to the President.

Location on Map Desired: To be discovered later.

Capital: The Capital City of New Drakran is the city of Anka, located in the middle of territory along the river of the same name.

Important Settlements: The coastal trade city of Nexus.

Description: Due to the recent changes in government (And nation), New Drakran is in the middle of a cultural shift as it seeks to take on a new identity. While there are still plenty of signs of the old regime of Drakran (Late Medieval, early renascence) the empowerment of guilds and the push into industrialization of the new nation has resulted in a number of different, strange new kinds of architecture, philosophy and ideology. Different cities tend to have a number of different districts, often shaped by the guilds that have taken up residence there. The only three guilds that have a guild house in every city within the Republic are the Guild of Beggars, the Guild of Seamstresses (While its members list their occupation as Seamstresses, its doubtful that any of them know how to fix a sock) and the Guild of Thieves ( President Kiue took the viewpoint that there was always going to be a level of crime, regardless of what was done to stop it. Thus, he formed a Guild of Thieves by officially recognizing one of the bigger thief gangs, giving them rights and honors above others of their station while inviting them to parties with the high class, then putting them in charge of keeping unlawful crime low with the threat of removing their new found rights and titles (Along with most of their skin)).

New Drakran has started to use paper money as its primary form of currency, saving minting coinage for special occasions.

Important Characters: President Kiue ~ Ruler
Guild Leaders -To many to list

Trading Hub -3

The Republic of New Drakran would be more then willing to discuss trade agreements with the nation of Lydiah. President Kiue would be more then happy to invite the Duke and Duchess around for tea and to discuss the state of the world.

[darkwolf687]

Corustaria would be more than willing to pirate from you... I mean... Uh, to smile and wave, yes, smile and wave...

[gowia]

The Empire of Corustaria is now in the nation dump for all to see, and your rolls are there too darkwolf.

[gowia]

And now so is the Lance Empire!

[gowia]

Lydiah is next up.

[gowia]

And finally The Glorious Republic of New Drakran is up.
