[OOC] Iron Rain (Open)

[Theodorable]

Though I'm sure the OP/MOD will do it, here is an updated political map of nations that are complete or mostly complete. I just love maps, so I did it. Also included is a key.

Also, unless ISOTOPE is against it or has his own plans, I can also make a diplomatic version showing the various alliances/pacts, as well.

@Theodorable

I think that that would be rather nice but I would wait until everyone is situated and the alliances are set.

[Isotope]

Lots of people, lots of maps.

To keep it organized I am going to ask everyone to post their sheets in the char section, I'll give them a like when I accept them so we can differentiate between accepted and pending sheets.

Oh another note, wow lots of people. Ok, so with this in mind I'll probably want a co-GM. Hmmm.

Which one of us do you think started our revolution first? That could be very influential on the other country.

@TommyToledo

I was going to suggest mine occurring first, and then the influence spreading from the mainland over to your island by the time of Novgorod's control. If that's cool with you I possibly may have had agents riling your population up.
Since you've rich in natural resources in comparison to Salodonia, and you're in the process of industrialization, it'd be beneficial to have attempted to sway you to my ideology, and influence as a result.

[Voltus_Ventus]

Just a heads up blokes, I was hoping to snap up the land to the east of Novgorod.

[Theodorable]

@Aristo Since Salodonia is deficient for crops and arable farming, but plentiful in industrial goods, perhaps Fusan and Salodonia have a mutual trade agreement for these things? 65% of Fusan's industry is agricultural farming without a large industry because of it's lack of oil and heavy metals?

@MonkeyPants It seems Trawa last a war, and much of it's surface fleet? Perhaps Fusan was the victor in that war? Unless you had other ideas. A small war for expansion after the militant Sawajiro faction takes power in Fusan could be a good story point for Trawa's loss of it's great surface fleet, ala Russo-Japanese War?

@Theodorable

Sounds good, since you've got amicable relations with Polisira, we'd also be open to agreements.

For all of you, the state of the world as of 1910:

@Monkeypants@Voltus_Ventus

Ok, due to a claim I received a while ago there isn't an abundance of space north of Salodonia and if I recall correctly you both wanted that area.

I am doing claims on a basis of who can accurately set them first to avoid conflict, but I think it'd be best if you guys worked that one out together.

[Voltus_Ventus]

Well, I'd like to be north of Salodonia then, between them and that big blue nameless blob.

[thorgili]

hopefully I didnt take up too big of a chunk if so I will gladly decrease my land.

@thorgili

Actually, if you could keep that, it'd be awesome because in my county, it states that it is the second largest land. Honestly, I'd keep it.

[Isotope]

Ehhh, ok now we finally reach the claim issue, yay...

Monkeypants wants that space and has already discussed being the neighbor of a couple of people there, however Voltus shares this same distinction.

And I suppose Thor does too.

Which means you all have a right to that land, however I really don't want to say who gets what here because it'll be a serious blow to someones nation.

So before I take any action, I'm going to ask if you three can come to a consensus as to who gets what.

@Isotope

Can we place bets?

[Voltus_Ventus]

Well I need a dry/temperate zone, low humidity and a mix of hot and cold, the way I see it, the position I planned was perfect. Would have settled for the east side of the east continent but thorgili has claimed it and I'd rather not wedge myself between him and Tervan for aesthetic's sake. I could go on the western continent but I prefer mediumish countries and if I'm going to put myself next to the giant Kuldarra, I'm kinda obliged to go big.

@Voltus_Ventus

Nah. We can work something out. I don't plan on nomming everything up right away. Also, wouldn't it be hilarious if you were a smaller country but had to bail ME out of the fire?

@Wulfle

Well, after reading your CS it seems that your nation has pretty much everything, I don't see how a smaller nation could back you up. Either way, I crave for my nation to be in the east.

@Voltus_Ventus

Think I should back it down a little?
