Do we really have to choose the masks our parents gave us? I don't think so, which is why I choose my own.

Other than changing the names of continents/technology what are the reasons for placing the setting on a 'Pseudo-Earth'? Why not just use Earth with a more advanced (albeit requisite for steampunk) energy source? I think I need more info...but interested nonetheless!


Part of the reason I wanted to use a Pseudo-Earth rather then use a Earth more close to ours was mainly to give us more freedom in molding our own histories. While I am going to be using cultures close to that of Earth, I feel it was set in a actual Earth we would get to bogged down in trying to deal with the politics and other historical events that might get in the way of allowing players to create a nation that they feel is unique.

Edit:

Coolio, Can I play the Ottoman Equivalent?


Yes, yes you can.
So how long is this one going to last?


If all your going to do is be negative, stay out of my RPs.


The nations of Edoniras rushes forth into an age of Imperialism and Steam. Fueled by the the power of blue coal, a strange blue mineral that burns far hotter and far longer than coal, the nations of Edoniras, as well as a few of their Algaesia, brothers proceed forth to build empires built upon blue coal and with many new inventions. Great edifices of technology and power darken the skies and seas of the world, monstrosities of industry and imperialism alongside the more mundane wonders. From the “steam-horses” of the Lancian region which have connected Edoniras even more so than the telegraph, all the way to weapons of war which have forced a way open into Hadricia for the empires to stake their claim. It is this new land which has become a focal point for many of the latest conflicts, since the colonization of the “new world”, and it is this land which for many, has shown that while industry has brought many wonders, there is a looming darkness on the horizon. Tensions rise between the empires, and industry is on a ceaseless advance, with even the younger nations starting to catch up to the established powers. The one thing it seems that the old monarchies and republics can agree on, is that times are changing…

Time’s a Changing is a Steampunk NRP set in a Pseudo Earth the world is very different from our own. Blue coal allowed for a rapid industrialization and development of technology that simply was not seen in our world. Airships, steam planes, mechs, iron ships, and tanks are only a few of the inventions that Blue coal has allowed for.

Blue coal was discovered in the early 1700s in this world, and the New World wasn’t colonized till the late 1700s(mainly due to political instability and a lack of naval development as more money was poured into maintaining armies to fight the other nations). As such most of the New World should still be under colonial rule. Our Pseudo-Africa, Hadricia, is now open to colonization, as the various worlds powers gear up for that fun party. The date of the RP shall start at 1860, January 1st.

I hope this is enough to peek your interest, and if you have any questions regarding technology, time period, or other questions, feel free to ask.

@Alfhedil Will be a Co-GM, and can also address any questions you may have.

So you need any help thinking of something, or what? Still some room, I think, if you're still interested.


I don't need your help.
Interested, will be toying with a few ideas.
Legal Nation Name :

The British Empire

What Areas Do You Control (Territories):

In addition to the UK and it’s modern territories, the Empire has expanded to include various members of the former Commonwealth, including Canada, South Africa, India, Australia, and New Zealand. However they now seek to reclaim the entirety of the former British Empire.

Flag or Banner (National and Political):



Political Party (What Party leads the Nation):

British Unionist Party, seeking to reclaim the territories of the Empire.

Type of Government (Easy Pz):

Limited Monarchy, however compared to the former UK the reigning Emperor has more authority than previously.

Military (How many People and Military and Main Generals):

The advanced military of the United Empire currently plays host 3 million ground troops, as well as additional 1 million each for the Navy and Airforce. Another 2 million stand in reserve should the need for additional forces ever arise. The military constantly seeks to get ahead of the world technologically and is headed by General Augustine.

Productions (What your nation Produces):

In addition to a wide variety of natural resources due to the territory of the Empire as well as other goods, the Empire has begun focus on producing new high-tech goods and has been rather successful in that matter. The economy is stable, despite some involvement in WW3 as the massive territory of the Empire has allowed them to recover. It is to be also noted that military items are not traded outside of the Empire, for fear that the enemies of the Empire will get there hand on them.

History of the Nation (Easy Pz):

In 2016, the population of the Isles was becoming dissatisfied with the Parliament. Their slow action was slowly letting the UK fall behind the other powers. The Royal Family stepped forth and told the populace that if they were given more power, they could help fix the issues that were being caused by the Parliament. Pressured by the people of the Isles, the reigning Monarch was granted extensive authority, however the parliament made sure they kept some.

With their new power the Royal Family updated much of the military, instituted new economic policies which helped begin a growth period, and put forth a referendum to have the UK withdraw from the European Union, stating that the EU was responsible for many of the problems the UK were facing. The referendum had an overwhelming 97% vote yes to leaving the EU. While their was some shakiness, the UK had fully withdrawn from the EU by 2017.

The UK suffered a temporary economic recession from their withdraw, but by 2019 the effects had worn off. The UK was now in a full boom, developing new technologies and expanding their authority. The Royal Family stepped forth to much applause, stating now the path forward was rebuilding the British Empire. The people agreed, as the Royal Family had only brought forth joy to them. The Monarch was changed from a King/Queen, to a Emperor/Empress, and the UK was now renamed the British Empire.

The Navy was deployed, many new patriots now serving. They arrived at the coast of South Africa, and a diplomatic message was sent “encouraging” the South African President to have his nation join the British Empire. He and the rest of the government reluctantly agreed, with troops spilling force and occupying the new land for the British. Propaganda was used to maintain control, as the European Community looked on in disgust, unable to do anything due to worsening economic conditions.

Much the same way South Africa fell to the Empire, by 2020, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand had come to join the Empire to. With their new spanning Empire, they began planning a strike against India. In a secret meeting, the Royal Family proclaimed that “India was the jewel of the Old British Empire, and we now need it as our jewel.” however the chance to strike India had simply not arrived.

The chance to strike India finally came in 2050, a few years after WW3 had started. The operation swiftly began, as India has severely been weakened by the war as well as civil unrest. The superior might of the British Forces allowed them to claim the land quickly, after which they withdrew from WW3, seeking to get a head start on rebuilding and build up their power.

With the end of WW3, the British Empire now seeks to claim the other territories of the old Empire.

Guess I better arm Pakistan to make them into an unofficial march as I am with Kazakhstan


They might abandon some claims if it's favorable to them. They probably be more interested in control of the Mediterranean, and with you bordering the Byzantines...
Not everything that was under British Authority, I am including America, although not the French territories. This British Empire could give less shits about mainland Europe.
