Welcome to Battle Earth, A world, like the ones who all originally game from, the same continents, the same land masses, but not the same empires. You are surrounded by other nations that like you, have been taken from your original world, into a world of strangers and new empires. Are you, great leader, ready to attempt to fight off all of these new nations, in this Convergence of Earths.
Welcome to Convergence of Earths, an RP that is based off the current even going on in Marvel Comics going on known as convergence, but instead of superheroes, you shall all be leading nations surrounded in Alt Histories. Does your nation come from a world where Rome never fell, or where Charles Martel failed, or even where the Caliphate never rises. All of these possibilities, and so many more are up to you, and the best part is, that in your history you don't have to involve any other playable nation in it, because you all don't know each other, and you all come from different universes.
Technology on Battle Earth is modern, as are all of your nations. You where transported January 1st, 2015. Technological advancement is going to be allowed, and expected in your nation. So those are the only real limitations on technology, nukes are allowed, guns are allowed, any current technology is allowed.
Your Nations are going to, of course, be led by a leader. How this leader leads is up to you, is he cruel, nice, honest, hell, a priest, any of things are allowed. Only thing that isn't allowed for Leaders are being completely spectacle and a perfect human (All humans have flaws).
Warfare is going to revolve around two things, who has better tech, and who has more armies. If you play as, so to say, a Chinese-Indian union, you will have an insane amount of troops, but because of that you are not allowed to be as advanced. While if you play as a smaller nation with less population, you are allowed to be more advanced. What I am saying here is limit yourself, if your nation has loads of pop, you can't be the most advanced nation on battle earth, but if your nation is smaller, you can be advanced.
So I know what you want to know now, actually creating your nation, and that is simple. You see that map I posted above, that is the map we shall use, any province that has not been pervasively claimed is allowed for use in this RP. That does sadly limit how many nations are allowed, but hey, first come first serve. You guys are also not allowed super empires, at most, you can control as much as the Mongol Empire. Lastly, have fun while creating your nation, but be realistic, no alien interference, no gods ruling, and no Genocide Nukes, at least, not yet.

Official Name of Nation: Great Empire of Justiniadora Flag: Leader's Name: Justinian Constantine Augustus Iustinianus (Justinian III of Justiniadora) Leader's Title: By the Grace of God The Holy Emperor of The Great Empire of Justiniadora. Language: Latin Capital: New Constantinople (New Orleans in Our World) Demonym (What do we call your people): Justiniandorains. History (2 to 3 Paragraphs Minimum): The Year was 1650 when it happened. The New Constantinople Massacre, when over 100 citizens of the colonies where murdered during a protest. That is what sparked what would be the 3rd Bloodiest War ever. The Revolution was led by Constantine Iustinianus, the younger brother of the Roman Emperor at the time.
The Roman Emperor Romulus led his armies to invade Coebuc (Quebec IRL), where he met the First Army of Justiniadora. Each side had at least 100 thousand troops, and about 50 thousand died on each side in the battle, but it overall ended in Constantine winning the battle. This was simply a small deterrence though as Romulus sent troops to New Constantinople to fortify the city.
Constantine was able to round up all of the North Region (Canada and New England IRL) to fight for his cause. The continent became a battleground for the Brothers for 7 years, until Constantine finally got the other hand, leaving Romulus and his troops in New Constantinople and Astekico (Mexico IRL). Constantine attempted a full on invasion of New Constantinople with 500 thousand troops. Romulus was prepared though, and with 1 million troops he attacked with a defensive campaign against Constantine. This was the start of the bloodiest battle in history, the Siege of New Constantinople.
The whole city was surrounded by Constantine's troops, but Romulus did not care. The 1 Million troops charged against the circle of attackers all at once. It was a bloodbath, with Constantine losing 400 thousand troops within a week and Romulus losing 600 thousand. Constantine's reinforcements of 500 million came in to help the army which pushed back Romulus's troops. Constantine was starting to claim the outskirts of the city.
Romulus had reinforcements of his own and they came with the force of 800 thousand troops, trapping Constantine's army. All of Romulus's troops, inside New Constantinople and Outside of it, charged. The Battle that would end the war had entered it's bloodiest phase. With 900 thousand troops of the Rebellion fighting 1.2 million troops of Rome. The battle had lasted for 20 days, and by the end of it, over 2.5 million people overall had died during it. Constantine's army was the victor of the battle, and Romulus was killed while fighting. His son, Remustine, who was 12, gave up Justiniadora to Constantine, and Constantine formed his Empire.
The Great Empire of Justiniadora stayed relatively peaceful up until 1850, when they started another war with Rome to take Constantinia. Justinian II of The Great Empire led 500 thousand troops to Constantinia hoping for an easy occupation. This though, did not happen, the Roman Empire was prepared with a defensive against The Great Empire.
Over 1 million troops where deployed in that war, with over half dying, but Justinian II was able to occupy Constantinia in 3 years, forcing Rome to give up. Since then, The Great Empire has stayed the same size wise, but culture wise they are slowly growing away from what the Romans are.

Justinian, the greatest emperor to have ever ruled the Rome empire. Justinian, the person who reformed Rome. Justinian, by the Grace of God, Saint of the Heroes, First Holy Emperor of the Reunited Roman Empire. Justinian, the man who destroyed the barbarians. Justinian, The Holy Emperor.
Hey guys, welcome to Justinian's World, an RP focusing around what if the Plague of Justinian didn't happen. The point of Divergence (When things go alternate) is 541, where as stated just before, the Plague doesn't happen. Justinian successfully reforms Rome, and becomes the first Emperor of the United Empire since Constantine.
With the 25% of the population that was killed by the plague IRL not dying, this means that Constantinople and majority of the Greek region have a much higher population.
This RP will start on August 1st 1927 AD (1400 years after Justinian I takes the thrown). Technology in the RP will be slightly above modern because the Dark Ages barely effect Europe before Rome is reformed. Even though Technology is slightly above Modern, we have not had a moon landing, as I think a space race in this RP will be fun to watch.
Justinian, like IRL, managed to go and conquer majority of the former Roman Empire back. Only this time his Empire and the Stability of it wasn't effected by the Plague and He conquered it all back by 545. Justinian focused on advancing the Empire, converting Pagans, and of course, defending his reconquered land from the Sassanids.
Beautiful Churches where built all across the Roman Empire under Justinian, such as a Hagia Sophia like church in Rome. Paganism was almost completely wiped out in the Empire by the end of his reign. Chalcedonian stayed the majority religion in the empire, with both the Pope and The Patriarch of Constantinople having power as the leaders of the Religion.
Also unlike Real life, Theodora lives longer, Belisarius is not dismissed by Justinian and Justinian has a son who is also named Justinian. Belisarius power in the battles of the Sassanids is what helped keep the Middle Eastern Territory safe from the Persians.
When Justinian finally died in 565, his son Justinian II took control of the empire. Like under Justinian The First, he advanced the Empire. He ended up having a peaceful reign, which set up a common trend up until 1000. When Justinian II died, the Roman Empire did not expand size wise except for his conquest of all of the British Isles and Iceland, but it had hit a population boom which lasted up until 700.
In the year 1000, a Nordic Explorer named Leif Erikson who was hired by the Roman Empire discovered Constantinia (Greenland IRL), a large island far off the coast of Iceland. The Roman Empire claimed the Island as it own as Leif Erikson continued exploring. He landed in Justiniadora (Vinland IRL) in 1102. The Romans also claimed this as there own.
The Romans where not alone on the Islands though, because there with them where Natives. The Natives originally traded with the Romans, until disease struck them, which led to majority of them dying out.
Roman Explorers continued moving down the continent, up until they met the first of what seemed like an Empire there, the Astekz (Aztecs IRL). Unlike majority of the other Natives met by the Romans, the Astekz where relatively immune to the Roman diseases. Astek and Roman trade flourished until 1510 when Moctezuma II attempted to expand against the Romans. Justinian VII's army quickly fought back the Asteks. By the end of the war, Justinian VII rose the Roman flag above Tenochtitlan, leaving the Asteks to run around what was left of there empire.
That was all of the Pre-Decided History, the rest of it is up to you during your nation sheets. Also, before you ask about Islam, it is still formed, but it simply doesn't pull of as much growth as it does IRL. At least, not by the time of the finished Pre-Decided History.
