The Sun Will Never Set (Reboot)

<Snipped quote by Mihndar>

Sure you don't want to be full on communist? It would be more fun.

@Voltus_Ventus

Sure it would be more fun, but from the perspective of the PRK the important thing at the moment is strategic interests. The revolution has to survive before it can enforce its ideas on everyone. So Ekaterina's tactic is to make concessions in the hope of appearing a little less radical.

I'm also looking at this from the perspective of the fact that there was no French Revolution in this universe, no massive spread of the ideas of liberalism and nationalism (yet). So naturally any communist movement that appears in this context is going to be less radical in comparison to one in which the ideas of democracy and secularism are already well enshrined.

Yaaas a banner~

The Sun Will Never Set (Reboot)

I was one in the old RP, so I'd be up for it again.

I'd like to point out that while Premier Ekaterina is certainly an athiesr, the PRK is not an officially athiest state. It is an officially secular state and freedom of religion is permitted, and the citizens of the PRK practice a variety of faiths without persecution. A couple people have them labeled as athiest which is only partly true.

The Sun Will Never Set (Reboot)

And here we go:

Relations of the PRK

Ventium:

Elective monarchy: +
Social democratic: ++
Colonial tension: -
Imperialist: --

Net opinion: Ideological Fence-Sitter (0)
What this means: The PRK doesn't have much contact with Ventium, but there is slight tension over the PRK's close ties with Novokatayla (its puppet state in the north) and Ventian colonial ambitions. However, the PRK remains fairly open to positive relations with Ventium considering their relatively progressive outlook.

Avalia:

Republic: ++++
Mixed economy: +
Historical friend: ++
Alliance: +++++

Net opinion: Friend of the Proletariat (+12)
What this means: Avalia is the PRK's one true stalwart ally in a world of autocratic monarchies and fascist states, and the PRK stands firmly by them as much as they can without compromising their values.

Moravia:

Fascist state: -----
Heavily religious: -
Historical rivalry: ---
Border tension: --

Net opinion: Enslaver of the World (-11)
What this means: Moravia is the highest ideological priority of the PRK. All of the PRK's foreign affairs and intelligence actions are dedicated towards bringing down the Moravian government and preparing for the eventuality of war between the two states. No reconciliation is possible.

Zenovia:

Constitutional monarchy: ++
Potential for cooperation against Moravia: +

Net opinion: Potential Helper (+3)
What this means: The PRK would prefer a regime change at least towards the more left-wing parties, but as it stands Zenovia is a prime candidate for potential low-level diplomacy due to its shared proximity to Moravia and its relatively progressive politics.

Verendes:

Noble oligarchy: -
Laissez-faire: -
Historical rivalry: --
Aligned to Moravia: ---

Net opinion: Aristocratic Fascist Sympathizers (-7)
What this means: The PRK greatly dislikes Verendes and its slide towards fascism and intends to take advantage of the unrest inside Verendes to install a more sympathetic government if possible. Though they are not as high a priority as Moravia, they are also considered a threat.

Yllendthyr:

Constitutional monarchy: ++
Apartheid: --
Mix of church and state: -
Mixed economy: +
Imperialist: --

Net opinion: Oppressive Regime (-2)
What this means: While the PRK on a whole does feel slightly negative about the Heavenly Empire, they are not beyond reconciliation or an alliance of convenience given their more threatening neighbor.

Fuso:

Absolute monarchy: --
Aligned to Avalia: +++
Enemy of Izuno/Moravia: ++
Imperialist: -

Net opinion: Unholy Friend (+2)
What this means: Though ideologically biased against Fuso, the PRK is prepared to aid them against their fascist-aligned neighbors, the Izuno, in consideration of their already present friendship with Avalia.

Izuno:

Absolute monarchy: --
Aligned to Moravia: ---

Net opinion: Puppet of Fascism (-5)
What this means: Though a third-rate priority in comparison to the greater threats of Verendes and Moravia, the Shogunate is perceived as yet another tinpot autocratic state that must be eliminated.

Ceresia:

Absolute monarchy: --
Theocracy: --
Imperialist: -
Apartheid: --
Matriarchy: +
Harboring fugitive traitor: ---
Enemy of Verendes: ++
Enemy of Avalia: --
Strategic interests: +++

Net opinion: Tolerated Traitors (-6)
What this means: Despite the overwhelming negativity of Ceresia's traits, the PRK is reluctant to oppose them outright both because of their opposition to Verendes and because of the relative comparability of their navies, the PRK's primary military advantage. The PRK would really rather just ignore them and not take a stand until it becomes absolutely necessary.

KalMea:

Republic: ++
Theocracy: --
Laissez-faire: -

Net opinion: Misguided Fools (-1)
What this means: The PRK has little relation with KalMea, but what little they do know more or less cancels out. Though the PRK has no especially strong feelings about KalMea, KalMea's great negative opinion of them leaves little room for cooperation.

A post should be in the works soon.

The Sun Will Never Set (Reboot)

@Wernher The latest one done by Iso is the official map, second was more of a what-if scenario(If the rp was to be closed off, which the GM made sure to note that it will not be closed).

@Sigma

I would first first say that my map was not intended to usurp places for new players but to fill tiny irrelevant spaces no one would want. But Cyclone wanted them for story reasons.

But I did ask if changes could be made to the official map to reflect that I have given more land to Wernher and that I have some sort of colonial state in the north, as below:

Not official map

<Snipped quote by Mihndar>

There is one. Page one, like the third post but it isn't finished. Military and history are incomplete.

@Voltus_Ventus

Oh, fine, I missed it.

The Sun Will Never Set (Reboot)

<Snipped quote by Isotope>

Lol, just another nameless country.

"We shall war with.. Um, The. Hmph, what are they called?"

@Voltus_Ventus

Well, we know Ventium's name but nothing else about it since it doesn't even have a character sheet despite you being able to copy, paste, and slightly edit the old one

The Sun Will Never Set (Reboot)

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.

The Sun Will Never Set (Reboot)

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"?

The Sun Will Never Set (Reboot)

@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.
