So I tried to create a full world map with all of our nations; if anyone feels that their territory is wrong, let me know and I'll edit it, or you can edit it on your own to your tastes.



@Balena_Rex, I am threatened by Jīdū


Thank you so much man.
I have a question regarding a piece of the OP. I have a nation in mind to play, however it hinges on another person playing as their sovereign. Basically, playing as an America that never/failed to rebel against the crown and remains under British rule. This would entail another playing as the British from the same timeline as my own United States.


Please re explain what you are saying in more detail. I don't understand.
All of u are accepted.
Spodermen in my ass.
I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I’m fucking retarded but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Apache” and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can’t accept me you’re a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.

Brief History (2 to 3 paragraphs):
The Point of Divergence in the timeline the Empire of Jerusalem comes from is when Baldwin IV takes the throne. In this timeline, he does not have leprosy, and he is even better at warfare and combat then in our world. Baldwin IV, with help from Holy Rome, France, and England all declared war on Saladin. Within 2 years they had occupied all of Egypt and the Hedjaz region, annexing it into Jerusalem.

After about 5 years, the Pope declared a Crusade for what they called the region of Assyria (Syria and Iraq in our world). All of the little tribes that owned Saudi Arabia in our world at the time joined to fight the Crusade, but where overpowered by the shear strength of the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Crusaders as a whole. The Pope gave all the land that was occupied and took from the tribes that ruled those places to the Kingdom of Jerusalem. When this happened, Baldwin IV, now known as Baldwin the Great, renamed his nation to the Empire of Jerusalem. Also like our timeline, at least to what historians say, Baldwin IV wore a mask, but in this world, he wore it to scare his enemies. This started a trend with all of the emperors to come.

The Empire of Jerusalem fought several wars around the middle east, majority of them against the Sultanate of Rum, who wanted to expand there borders. The Fatimids, after they recently conquered all the way to Tunis, joined the fight against Jerusalem and joined Rum. The Pope went and joined the war with Jerusalem, declaring another Crusade. By the end of the war, they had occupied majority of Northern Africa, but instead of taking it all, they just took Tunis, and let the Fatimids keep the rest. Tunis was renamed Carthage when Jerusalem took it.

The Empire of Jerusalem stayed relatively peaceful after this up until the Mongolian Invasions began, which is another difference that happened in this timeline. The Battle of Baghdad was the bloodiest battle in the series of wars, known as the Tengri Holy Wars. In the end of it, Jerusalem and the Mongols fought each other to a stalemate.

After the Tengri Holy Wars ended in 1357, and the Mongols having to deal with revolts, Jerusalem was in another period of peace, known as the Pax Jerusalem. In Europe, the Catholics finished off taking the rest of Spain. Above Jerusalem, Byzantium finished off Expanding against Rum and other Islamic dynasties in that area.

Then came the Protestant Reformation, as Jerusalem stayed out of the American colonialism. It began in Carthage in this timeline, and Protestantism spread throughout the Empire, even converting the Brother of the Emperor to the religion. The Brother of the Emperor started a civil war against the current Emperor to make Protestantism the main religion.

The Emperor managed to beat his brother, and put him and those who helped him in the revolt to death by burning out there eyes, tying anchors to there legs, and dropping them into the ocean to drown. The Emperor then started to punish any Protestants in the Empire with Taxes and sometimes death. This caused a very large amount of them to convert out of fear.

After this, the Empire of the Timurids (Tamerlane wont he mongol revolution against the government and the other revolters, and formed his empire), attacked Jerusalem in an attempt to reclaim the land lost in the crusades. It began what would be known as the Shia Conquests, as it was God-Emperor Tamerlane III the Self Proclaimed Shia Caliph going up against the Pope and other Catholic forces to fight them off.

The Shia Conquests where not just about finishing off Jerusalem though, it was also about expanding into India, which they did. They successfully conquered all the way to Delhi before Jerusalem and the United Catholic Armies started to take on the Timurids at full power.

In the year 1560, 40 years after the Jerusalemite Civil war ended, the Shia conquets ended, and ended with new Crusader states stretching from Delhi all the way to Persia by the end of the war. Tamerlane III was put to death in front of the Pope, ending any chance of a second Islamic Expansion.

Jerusalem had to deal with small revolts, and even more Islamic tribes attempting to expand, but each one of them where stopped against Jerusalem. This stayed the same up until the early 1800s, when Napoleon took control of France, and started the First World War. It was the French, Spanish, and English (English supported Napoleon in this because of them both hating the HRE) going up against Holy Rome, Byzantium, Jerusalem, and Russia. Napoleon was able to take Berlin under his control when he stated he would attempt a sea invasion of Jerusalem.

Jerusalem would be the battle that would end the war, Napoleon was captured, the English Prince murdered, and the Spanish Kingdom fully occupied by the HRE. Napoleon was put to death by the Emperor of Jerusalem, and was beheaded. The Pope split up France, England, and Spain into other Smaller nations, with examples being Aragon and Normandy.

This Timelines Earth stayed peaceful once again until 1905, when the Second World War began. A friend of the King of Normandy (Who Conquered all of the little kingdoms in France, England, and Spain) killed the Archduke of the Holy Roman Empire, which started the war between the two nations.

The Kingdom of Normandy, the United Republic of America, and the Russian Empire fought against The Holy Roman Empire, the Empire of Jerusalem, Byzantium, and the Holy Kingdom of Indo-Persia (All of the Crusader States formed during the war against Tamerlane where united as one kingdom). The war ended in a Victory for the Papal Alliance (The Side with Jerusalem), and the treaty of Carthage was signed. This treaty weakened the Kingdom of Normandy by forcing them to give everything from Paris westward to Holy Rome and by forcing them to pay 50% taxes to Jerusalem.

A young fascist revolutionary took control of the Kingdom of Normandy in 1932, named Louis Hieler. He stated that the land lost in WW2 should belong to Normandy. When he took power, he began a mass genocide of those who where not French. This was enough to rouse up all the nations who where in Ww2 to fight back against Normandy, in what would be known as Ww3.

Normandy was able to quickly destroy all of Holy Rome, conquering 3/4 of it and leaving the other 1/4 to form the Fascist Germanic Kingdom. Jerusalem and Byzantium advanced upwards into southwestern Germany when Russia joined the war against Normandy.

The United Republic of America started a naval expansion in what would be known as D-Day, or the invasion of the Spanish Coast (Portugal is apart of Spain, or in this case Normandy, in this timeline). This was too much for Normandy, and on September 1st, 1945, Louis Hieler killed himself. This would also be the same day that WW3 ended.

This was the last major event in the timeline of this nation, they have remained peaceful since this event.

The Culture of the Empire of Jerusalem is French, with some Arabic things here and there. Majority of the Empire looks French, because of assimilation and Immigration (In this Timeline, Napoleon still took control of France, which led to a good amount of those wanting to escape Napoleon moving to the Empire of Jerusalem), and over 80% of the population is Catholic. In fact, one of the main things in the Empire is a holiday celebrating Saint Charlemagne, because in there timeline, he became a Saint.

Another holiday in there culture is the day of the Iron Mask, the anniversary of When Baldwin IV defeated Saladin and took Egypt. On that Holiday, majority of the people go out and where Metal Masks that have the flag of the Empire of Jerusalem painted on them.

Jerusalem also has the largest statue on Earth, of Saint Baldwin IV, Emperor of Jerusalem.

Baldwin had developed a minor superiority complex, he had ADHD and OCD, and he was a little insane, but he was also insanely powerful physically and mentally. After Baldwin X left the tutelage of Louis he joined the Royal College in Paris in his timeline.

OOC IS UP! http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/81464-convergence-of-earths/ooc
Convergence of Earths


The Worlds Have Collided.

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.



Special Thanks to @Nerevarine for putting the nations on the map.
Just A question, am I forced to make a character, or in OOC can I just go and post from the Emperors Perspective without you knowing much about him.
<Snipped quote by TheSovereignGrave>

Lol, Glad you like it, also, the reason why the Jains declared holy War is because they A. Thought they had the Hindus backing them up, which they did, but it wasn't enough, and B, they where to scared not to do anything against China. That and well, it is a bit different from OTL Jainism, they aren't as peaceful.


It is ok if you don't make a character because you dont want us to know much about him.
Also, OOC will be up tomorrow, I got to go to sleep.
