[OOC] The Age of Imperialism (Early 20th Century Nation RP)

[Theodorable]

So! At the beginning of the year (like NOW) you budget out your nation using this and send it to me.

ECONOMICS (At the beginning of every year, you budget for the next 2 turns)

• Supply Army (1$ Billion GNP): Pays for and feeds 50,000 troops. (If you have troops and do not pay/feed them, they will decrease by 50% per turn until they are gone).
• Conscription ($1 Billion GNP): Creates 10,000 Conscripts
• Train Regulars: ($2 Billion GNP): Creates 10,000 Regulars
• Train Professionals: ($4 Billion GNP): Creates 10,000 Professionals
• Produce Rifles: ($2 Billion GNP): Produces 10,000 Rifles
• Produce Light Artillery: ($4 Billion GNP): Produces 50 Light Artillery
• Produce Heavy Artillery: ($7 Billion GNP): Produces 50 Heavy Artillery
• Build Industry ($X Billion GNP): (Minor Factory is $15 Billion) (Major Factory is $28 Billion) (Minor Shipyard is $15 Billion) (Major Shipyard is $25 Billion). Minor's take 1 year. Major's take 2.
• Build Naval Vessel: ($X Billion GNP): (Submarine is $1 Billion GNP/1 Turn, Destroyer is $2 Billion GNP/1 Turn, Light Cruiser is $4 Billion GNP/2 Turns, Armored Cruiser is $8 Billion GNP/3 Turns, Pre-Dreadnought is $12 Billion GNP/4 Turns). (Must have Major Shipyard for Pre-Dreadnought's)
• Build Railroad: ($3 Billion GNP): Creates railroad in selected Province. Price is doubled in Colonial Provinces.
• Research Army: (X$ Billion GNP): ($10 Billion GNP + Years Ahead) = Research Price.
• Research Navy: (X$ Billion GNP): ($5 Billion GNP + Years Ahead) = Research Price.

* Building Ships For Other Nations: If a nation wants a ship built, and you offer your shipyards, they pay for the cost in GNP to you for the ship to be built, plus whatever additional price is negotiated.

Example: NATION A requests an Armored Cruiser be built in NATION B's shipyard. NATION A pays Nation B $8 Billion GNP for Armored Cruiser's GNP cost to NATION B, and NATION A on top of that requests an additional $2 Billion GNP for the service.

* Building a Ship: If you budget for a ship that takes more than 2 Turns, that price will be deducted for all budgets for all the years that ship is being constructed.

THE GAME IS DONE. GO IC. FROLICK AND DO WHATEVER

[Lone Wanderer]

@LordZell Also Zell, colonial provinces cost 2 points and don't count as Land or Coastal provinces when giving you bonuses, but as a colonial which has it's own benefits.

@Lone Wanderer

Unfortunately he dallied a bit too long. The island he wanted has been occupied by a player with a finished application; the Grand Survaek Empire.

[Lone Wanderer]

@Theodorable I was talking about the fact that Zell has claimed provinces in colonies while only having spent 1 point on each rather than the 2 points required for a colonial province.

[Theodorable]

Oh, I gotcha.

Game is ready. Send me your budget and feel free to post in the IC. :D

Any questions feel free to send'em my way.

[Boop_Im_A_Dragon]

@Theodorable you made a bit of a typo for my nation name. It is Soroya not Sonoya. Just to give you a heads up next time you go to edit the map. Other than that looks great.

[Theodorable]

Whoops. My fault! Your Soroyan colonies in Sarelia and Faresia are up as well. Once some more nations get involved I'll post them up!

[Boop_Im_A_Dragon]

Hey Theo I will send in my budget as soon as possible, but I was wondering how much GNP I get per turn? Tried checking the first page that shows total GNP, but it just has my nation name.

[Theodorable]

I'll calculate it real quick.

Also. If you DONT budget, you can "spend" that money during crises if you like, but it's also a risk, as you can't budget them later.

Kingdom of Soroya has $30,500,000,000 GNP.



I don't think I'll add anymore NPC's to Varius, unless no new players join. That's plenty, eh? I do like a full world though. It'd be really awesome to see a landlocked power. Luckland is the small nation between Anvegad and Deltora, it's a bit hard to see.

A LOT OF PEOPLE VIEWING THE THREAD. NOBODY TALKING. :(((((

More active than we appear, just on the Chatzy.

[LordZell]

@Theodorable alright then can I get the peninsula next to soroy my capital will be on the island next to it's larger mainland counterpart. Sorry I wasn't on anything I missed or may have been told about my sheet.

[TommyToledo]

Posting my app so I don't get left out. Very much a WIP. If possible, could Vatanno-Galvia be positioned on the western most edge on the old continent, the peninsula over there.

"Deo dante, firma stabit."

Nation Name: Vatanno-Galvia

Demonym: Vatannian, Galvian.

Population: 62, 000, 000 (8 points). Vatanno-Galvia enjoys a high population and a steady increase in its population rate. There seems to be no indication that this will change in the coming years to come.

History

The Vatannian Reunification

The two nations of Vatannia and Galvia has always been influencial to one another. When the old Polmanian senate began expanding from the Reiner river, they turned north towards the early Galvian tribes. When the Polmanian empire began to collapse 200 years later, the Galvian proto-kingdom swept down south and sacked the northern Imperials. The medieval age brought more bloodshed as the neighbors fought for fiefs. The Galvian war of ascession was made worst with the medling of Northern Vatannian-supported usurpers. The inquisitions of the southern Vatannian kingdoms during the late medieval ages often spilled onto Galvia, dragging them into religious unrest.

However the start of the great alliance would begin in 1775. In January, the Colvian revolution was underway. The Kingdom of Colvia was one of the wealthy merchants states of the northern Vatannian region. However a class struggle has been secretly brewing in the kingdom. Colvia, along with its neighboring merchant kingdoms, had began its industrial revolution. The elites were the only people with the capital necessary to build the factories needed to industrialize the nation. New opportunities arised as the nation entered the industrial age. However the nation's working class was quickly marginalized. Worker's unions were disbanded, often with extreme force. Protest were swept aside by the army. The prosperous merchant state became more and more troubled.

Galvia decided to intervene by providing arms for the workers. The riots became armed revolts that the Colvian army had more and more difficulties quelling. During November of 1975, the workers marched towards the royal palace. There they forced the ruling monarch, King Francesco Allemani III, to step down. The army tried to retake the palace but was repelled by the armed rebels who had occupied the building. After two hours of extensive fighting, the King abdicated. Cilerno and Annatolia, the other merchant states neighboring Colvia, grew discontent with thier class differences too. Cilerno managed to oust its monarchs peacefully while Annatolia's King, King Alfredo Milano, was brutally executed. The three states formed a union to protect themselves as they reestablished their governments.

Meanwhile, the southern kingdom of Napoles and the Papal states were experiencing their own revolutions too. The citizens of Napoles wanted to join the northern union. King Leonardo Telmo, wanted to distance himself from the growing republican nationalism to the north. The nation was set on the same course as its northern neighbors. In the papal states, the Pope condemned the northern rebels and the new government they were forming. The divine right to rule was broken.

A civil war then erupted in Napoles. By 1778, the northern provinces of Napoles were in armed conflict of the Royal Army. The northern states, now reformed with their own constitutions, decide to help the rebels and Galvia provided them arms and additional rations. The Royal Army held its ground a year before they were constantly pushed back by the rebels. By 1779, the rebels were at the doorsteps of the capital. The rebel forces pushed through the royal gaurds of the city and captured the Napolean Royal Palace. King Michelangelo Stressi was exiled after being captured. The call of nationalism soon found itself in the papal states. However the pope was able to make a comprise with the nationalist. The took the city of Polma, the ancient capital of the old Polmanian empire, as his own holdings and the nationalist kept the rest of the nation. However the pope would still require those territories to pay taxes to the church in return.

In 1790, an official proclamation was made that the states of Colvia, Cilerno, Annatolia, Napoles and the former papal states were merged into one single entity, the new kingdom of Vatannia. Named after the old Polmerian name for the region, the new constitutional kingdom was formed. Far from the visions of the early revolutionaries though, Vatannia's parliament quickly went to aristocrats and noble families. The people of Vatannia were too enthusiastic about the reunification to concern themselves with the new government. The king of Vatannia was chosen to be King Georgino Malvechi, the direct cousin of the former king of Colvia.

The Rosvo-Galvian War

While spirits were high in Vatannia, Galvia was suffering from a demoralizing war with it's neighbor, the Kingdom of Rosvo. The Kingdom of Rosvo had entered into hostilities with Galvia in 1787. Galvia declared war with the intent to capture its ore rich territories.

Rosvo won a decisive victory against Galvia and stopped the Galvian invasion in 1788. The tables were turned and now the Rosvonian army was marching south towards Galvia. In desperate need of aid, Galvia turned towards its southern neighbor. In 1793, Vatannia signed an alliance with Galvia. By the spring of 1794, the combined might of Vatannians and Galvians overwhelmed the invading Rosvonians. By summer the next year, the routed their enemy in tactical victory. In 1795 Vatannian and Galvian forces captured the capital of Rosvo, the city of Moscovi, and exiled its leader. The rest of the country was quickly annexed by Galvia.

The Dual Monarchy

Garnering prestige from their combined victory, the parliaments of both Vatannia and Galvia considered an alliance. By March of 1800, Prime Minister Andrello Daverna met with his counterpart in Galvia, David Venalli. There a framework for an alliance was written as a draft and would be presented to the kings of both nations.

New Sheet @Theodorable

[Theodorable]

That island would be 1 Province, Zell.

[LordZell]

So free nice.

[TommyToledo]

So there's a typhoon heading here and it might cut out the power for a few days. If I don't check back anytime soon, it's safe to assume I'm probably out.

[Theodorable]

Don't die! Where do you live that has typhoons, sir?

I'm going to put Zell on the map and he's just going to be happy with it.

[Theodorable]

Skyler. Why you sent your budget did you accommodate the -10% GNP?
