WIP Description/History

"A decade of death for a millennium of life."

The history of the grand and diverse confederacy began long ago, and involves the trials and tribulations of the many Hokkan, Shirito, Helroxi, Fusanese, and Mashiran peoples. And though their tales are great, the most important events begin a mere two decades ago.

-The Hokkan Empire was a decently sized nation, and utterly massive compared to most of its neighbors. Hokkan had won the land with her formerly large population and many warriors, but natural disasters such as earthquakes pushed part of its population to emigrate.
-The Dokkan Shogunate was a small nation with a people that, due to the immigration of a few million Hokkan throughout the years for various reasons, were all Hokkan but mixed with other ethnicities to varying degrees. It was militaristic to the point of hiring out its army as mercenaries of the utmost quality, which in turn brought in most of the nations revenue for it had very little natural resources to speak of.

Confederation of Hokkan-Shirito

A decade of death for a millennium of life.

The world, for many other nations, had suddenly become very busy. New inventions, new interactions, new deals, and new tensions. It would certainly be a worry for Mikkado(Translation: First Emperor) Tento Shinderotto if he had to hurriedly read through all of the news so that he would gain an edge over rival nations. But Shinderotto did not even have a headache, and leisurely looked through reports of foreign peoples and nations instead. He was at the helm of an expansive nation, dwarfed only by Helrox, with a population that would intimidate any other nation including Helrox, and most importantly the Confederation was Faresian and thus would be ignored by the Euranians as long as it wanted to be.

And yet the Mikkado was not bored at all, but rather busy in most aspects other than foreign affairs, and even that was to change.

While it had been ten years since the unification, the country had been stagnant in all manners except reconstruction of the damaged lands and incorporation of the previous 7 countries into 5 states under a single, strong government. As a result the new nation was outdated, underdeveloped, and isolated. The Mikkado decided to change that.

He sent for Liu Jiang, a 35 year old who was an extremely young but extremely skilled diplomat during the Iron Dokkan Massacre and the final Hokkan-Shirito Solution a decade ago, and had maintained his position as diplomat ever since. He was sent to Itherae to 'refresh his diplomatic skills against a nation that has an admirable military that would probably make good trainers for ours, but poses no threat to us whatsoever should the meeting go south'.

However upon arriving officials and a representative of the kingdom meet Jian with enthusiasm, seeking to obtain coal and establish basic relations. A deal was struck with little issue and both representatives left the table happy that things went so smoothly.

Sallas-Jiang Trade Deal

Article 1 - 10,000 tons of coal a month will be exchanged monthly for Itheraen military training from officers and high command.
Article 2 - The Itheraen trainers will consist of fifty Itheraen Officers and Itheraen High Command will consist of General Mataxis Ferani and a dozen of his chosen advisors.
Article 3 - Itheraen Officers will train both Confederate Soldiers and Officers overseen by General Mataxis Ferani.
Article 4 - A permanent embassy will be established in both nation’s capitals.

Once Jiang had left the throne room, it felt empty once more which only brought Shinderotto's mind back to the underdeveloped state of the nation. On the table there were articles documenting the miracles of the motor and the even more impressive human flight. Even though he wasn't yet competing with the other nations, times were changing and advancing and he needed to catch up.

He called the parliament into secession after drafting three new laws and worked with them to refine them into two acts that would set the foundations for a 20th century Confederation.

Essential Road Construction Act

Article 1 - All efforts possible- limited only by basic safety and wages that are at least survivable- are to be made to build roads with a focus solely on roads that assist the economy (government and civilian businesses), and military (routes between military bases/supply routes, command centers, and locations that are strategic for defensive or offensive maneuvers).
Article 2 - Up to 10 civilian construction companies that assist the government in construction will receive 10,000 in profit alongside sustenance pay to maintain equipment and pay wages.
Article 3 - Roads built must be built as quickly as possible while still being serviceable, and they must use the shortest routes possible.
Article 4 - Civilian companies, if too few accept, must be encouraged into either being created or, if existent but uninterested, encouraged into accepting the project.
Article 5 - After January 1st 1906 or after half of the economic and military seen necessary are completed, whichever comes first, from that point forwards half of the total efforts will be put towards economic and military roads, and the other half of the total efforts will be put towards civilian roads.

Basic Naval Construction Act

Article 1: Funding for the research and development of shipyards will be doubled such that the total funding is 30,000,000 in order to quicken said research and development.

Article 2: Labor involved in said research and development will be done as quickly as possible, limited only by basic safety and wages, and the military personal that will make up most of this construction (the rest being paid volunteers) will not be paid less than their normal wages but instead paid overtime by working during their free time.

With the Parliament's unneeded approval (both because the parliament created the acts and because the emperor can technically go over the parliament) the two acts would go into action. Shinderotto now had to wait to see how well his improvements to the economy and military preformed.

OOC:
1: +1 to all actions
2: Clarified that road construction includes and is mainly preformed by the government
3: Clarified that military personnel and paid volunteers will work on research and development of shipyards.

@Theodorable I'm actually a bit confused with the map. Like shouldn't Eurania and Faresia be separated in order to be separate continents? Also, I'd like my nation to be large with a lot of coast, and a nearby colony that's an island(s). But if the map isn't going to be changed then I can go for the Dominion's land with a colony in that penninsula thing next to it. Also yes I'm done with my CS.

@Theodorable I have finished my Japanese-Chinese-Mongolian-ish nation. Should I put it in the CS tab or wait for you to send me something or what?

Sorry I've been taking a while. I'll edit this post when I finish my CS.

The World Undone: A History of the Modern World [NRP] (1905--)

I'll say that I'm going to be in Faresia so you know in advance before I make my CS later on.

@Theodorable I'm noticing a disturbing lack of flags. I'd prefer to have those, it gives the nations more of an identity.

Also, are these continents parallels to the real world, or are they completely different? Like Eurania sounds very close to Europe, and Europe had most of the great powers in rl just as this rp. Is there a specific continent for not-African tribes to be colonized and another continent for not-Asian nations to be subjugated?

I know this rp is completely different than the rl other than the atmosphere and the tech, but I don't know if you're planning something with the map or the lore considering the other continents, and considering I might make a not-African or not-Asian nation it'd help to know more.

Sorry for the confusing questions, I hope what I said made sense. Also good job with the CS.

The World Undone: A History of the Modern World [NRP] (1905--)

I'd also like to be a great power.

I am extremely interested, in the time period, in Remarque, all of it. I'll have to simultaneously think about what nation I will play as well as wait for more details like a map, but thats no issue since with a different world there is no reserving nations.

To start things off on the right foot, I am thinking of being imperialistic, nationalistic, and aggressive to some degree.

By the way, was 1905 randomly chosen, or chosen because of the Russo-Japanese war?
