Though I'd like to have you know that I advocate Shariah, naturally as a Muslim I would, though I hold different views on different concepts. Also I'd like to have you know that the Juzia, the religious tax you referred to was an administrative thing as opposed to religious.

@Voltus_Ventus

I thought not all Muslims supported Shariah law. No intent on starting an argument, just looking for clarification.

Oooh. I forgot to do my nation relations thing. A project for tomorrow when I finish classes.

If the case is that a common has that much land next to me, I need some expansion in that direction.

@Voltus_Ventus

I assume you mean "communist"?

@Mihndar

Like I said in the history collab, I have plans for those two pockets between me. If (who are we kidding, when ) the world war erupts, the one between me and Zenovia would be like a Belgium.

The one between me and Yllendthyr will become important pretty quickly.

I also don't want my already big nation to be even bigger, if only for balance reasons. I'd say the same for giving the PRK that big colony, but it doesn't make much sense to have that much empty land next to Ventium, so I can get behind that move of yours.

@Cyclone

That's a fair point, as long as you're not the only one controlling their actions. I'll keep the border changes of me and the Vinculi.

The Sun Will Never Set (Reboot)

I like it.

@Wernher

Mind you, I still maintain that 190 million people is way too many for all the aforementioned reasons I put in a post a few pages back.

reasons

I'm going to have to strongly disagree with a population of ~190 million. The primary reasons the PRK's population is so large is because:

A: It's a leader of one of the main factions that seem to be developing.
B: Everyone in the entire world save Avalia would invade it if given a good opportunity, which means that it almost certainly has to be a large power to survive (hence it isn't unbalanced)
B: It's essentially 1/3-1/2 of the industrialized world due to its presence as the remaining top half of the Old Kataylan Empire (as I'm going to call it because historical revisionism), meaning the leftmost continents.
C: Even though it's pretty heavily rural in the interior there's a lot of coastline there, and it's close to the equator unlike the Soviet Union, which is the closest analogue with ~200 million people in 1940. We're at the same latitude, and also like ten times bigger.

That being said, I don't want to discourage your creativity in your nation setup. I'd be perfectly fine with a population of ~100 million, give or take 20, with the aforementioned overpopulation problems and also the disorder that would be present considering the revolution attempt mentioned in your history.

The revolution happened 12 years ago in the PRK for reference, so your current government would have to be younger.

And I forgot to mention that I also now have another ~100 million empire of bloody squid trying to contest my naval superiority, which is Kataylabinsk's thing.

@Voltus_Ventus:
#1: What political position does your nation take concerning the geopolitical blocs starting to form (Moravia bloc, PRK bloc, Colonial bloc)
#2: What does your empire think of Ceresia?
#3: What is the situation with your colonies, particularly the ones next to mine? How do they interact with my colonies?
#4: What is the environment like in your colony in the south of the main continent next to mine? (The one near Hael)
#5: What is your nations military focus (Infantry swarms, armour, blue navy, subs, fixed aircraft, airships, etc?)

@Willy Vereb: I thought up a plotline that we can do together in IC. I will send you a PM concerning it.

@Serpentine88

In all fairness Serp's "colonial" bloc is mostly wishful thinking until they cobble it together. Even if Yllendthyr and Ceresia ally, they wouldn't yet be in the same class as me and Cyclone.

I have a proposal to eliminate some empty space and redistribute territory marginally, so I'd like to see if everyone agrees.

The rationale being that no one will want tiny fragments of territory between the PRK and Moravia or between Moravia and Zenovia, and I also gave some more land to the Vinculi and acquired a colonial possession which is basically going to be a puppet state.

Admittedly he could have expressed his concerns a bit more subtly, but I wouldn't call it "blowing up the thread with rudeness."

Still, I think everyone should try to adopt a more constructive method of criticism.

Clock be late to the party

The Sun Will Never Set (Reboot)

He means besides Zenovia. The color is a bit confusing.

The Sun Will Never Set (Reboot)

It honestly looks like you want to have your cake and eat it too, Hael, if you're gonna be super-industrial and also the size of Kataylabinsk and significantly larger than Moravia. Yllendthyr's enormous possessions are justified by them being really undeveloped and mine by being rural, but yours seems kinda absurd.

The Sun Will Never Set (Reboot)

I feel like we need like an independent native American/sub-saharan African-esque nation.
