Yeah.

Can I have Slovakia, The Czech Republic, and Hungary reserved?

Yeah.

If I may ask what land is available and who currently has Australia? Perhaps I can talk him into allowing me to have the area.

[Sabara]

Yeah.

Sure, if you'd like. I'm not sure if he'll give it up, though.

Short History of your Nation:

New Holland was a small colony centered around New Amsterdam for much of the 16th century. It had a population of just over 20,000 and depended heavily on the fur trade supplied by the numerous surrounding native tribes. The establishment of lucrative sugar, cotton, and tobacco plantations drastically changed all the demography of all north american colonies in the 17th century as the poor and disenfranchised of Europe flocked to the shores of the New Word following promises of free land. By the late 17th century, New Amsterdam was the second largest city in North America and New Holland steadily grew in size by through a series of land purchases and military skirmishes with other newly established cities states.

The present day of Union of New Holland was formed in January of 1789 with the merger of the two largest Dutch Colonies in the New Word, New Holland and the Grand Duchy of New Rotterdam-Limburg. The City State of Greater Boston, a former English colony was later added to the Union via diplomatic cohesion and is considered one of the three founding republics.

The exodus of Dutch citizens and the Royal Court from the Home Provinces happened on July 1814 when the century long three way cold war between the Netherlands, France and England turned ugly when France invaded with force of 200,000 capturing the Amsterdam in a two year long siege. The majority of those who fled arrived in New Holland with the rest moving to Greater Rhodesia and Dutch Indochina. The influx of the skilled labor as well one of the largest banking systems in Europe helped propel New Holland to newer heights of economic prosperity and solidified the Union's identity as a nationstate.

Short Description of your nation: Predominantly Dutch with significant populations of people of English, French and Native decent. The population is over 90% Protestant and vehemently opposes Catholic influences. In fact, in New Holland, the color of your skin and your social-economic background matters less than the church you belong to. Catholic followers concentrated in the former French Colony of Acadia are frequently targeted for government sanctioned pogroms and are disallowed from participating in matters of politics and the military.

Wait Jade... your GDP needs to be around 5.1 trillion. You might have made a couple of mistakes on the math: 147,000,000 * 35,070 = 5.15529 * 10^12.

The point system was a bit confusing, so let me know if I made any mistakes or math errors.

[Arumdaum]

Happiness is 8*p - m

p = points

m = military numbers

You spent nine points on it and eight points for military numbers, so 8*9 - 8 = 64

My bad, all fixed now though.

[Oscalantine]

I have decided to join the RP... good thing I tagged it instead of lurking around XDDD

Btw, just to get my lore straight, industrialization started in the East? It makes logical sense, since if China's Eunuch Faction really didn't inact the flipping isolationist, conservative Confucian policy for decades, China would have gotten quite fare when it comes to teachnology. But I digress. Are we doing this? What is our standing in the lore exactly?

[Oscalantine]

Btw, since no one has done so... and it probably would be easy for me to have an landmass of entity... please reserve Singapore, Suez, and Panama. I would rather not take any territory since what I am looking for is not a national government per se, but it should be interesting enough for me to actually have a territory that I can call my own.

The nation had a strong gold rush from 1839 - 1850 but the economy was near destroyed from a war going from 1904 - 1911. However it recovered fast and gained many alliances due to its poor military
Short Description of your nation:
A multicultural nation with high political freedoms and happiness however a not so developed military defends the country. It is one of the fastest growingbim the world and gains mich money from tourism.

Update the gorram OP, Sab.

That's a wee bit of a problem... I posted my wishes to reserve Singapore a few posts back.

Mind you, I don't need it desperately if someone's nationalism is at stake. Is it necessary for your lore?

[Wildelyn]

Hi there,

could someone explain to me the point system in a slightly more detailed way?

Ah, well, I had intended it to be my capital... the lore was going to be that upon the founding of the pan-Malayan union, a well-located site (Singapore) was chosen and a new, planned capital founded there. I suppose I could find a new location for the capital, but Singapore would be most preferable, so if I could have it, that'd be good.

That's plenty enough reason for me to give up the claim.

But since it is a union that was founded at a later date, could you do me a favor and compromise a bit? The app that I am working at is more like an organization than a country, so I don't necessarily need too much landmass. However, I would like to have some territorial claim in Singapore, since it is a center of trade in the world. Would you mind if I stated that own 30% of the city's territorial claims? I am still technically liable by your regulations and laws, which will make an interesting RP situation as well ^^

Hmm, what about Brunei or Jakarta or Kuala Lumpur? Singapore was basically the government telling the locals "get out!" and an entire prepackaged city being plonked on top to act as capital, and I would've imagined that even today, the government maintains very strict control. 30% would be a bit much for such an important city (it'd give you about 2 million people, I think!), but giving you ownership of plots there along with in other important cities would be fine.

BTW, could someone help with my points stuff? My military numbers are negative...

Well, to be frank, I am not a native there, but my organization is a conglomerate of TNCs. The 30% control would be more or less thinking of it as a company holding property values in the area and a few privileges here and there when it comes to trade.

I don't have any other reasons to hold other cities. Singapore is a major trade hub and its location is vital to economy today... and geography isn't much different here. If you have problem with numbers, bumping it down to 20 wouldn't be an issue for me.

I'm not sure if I understand what you mean. Would 30% or 20% be in terms of property? I mean, having a single entity own around 1 in 4 houses in your capital city would be rather daunting...

[Oscalantine]

Imagine corporate property. TNC is transnational corporation... what you see in McDonalds and Walmart. Massive trade epicenter consisting of major corporations from my organization setting up shop and allowing smooth transit of trade goods as well as being the financial and industrial production epicenters.

20% is fairly big area considering what you normally would have as a corporate property, but again... I am not talking about one company, but a conglomerate of multiple TNCs all under the one banner. And 20% of Singapore isn't... all too much geographically. Think of it as a special district within your capital in charge of employment in your capital region ^^

Hmm, I mean, 30% would be approximately the area granted to all commerce in Singapore (or maybe a bit more)... 20% would be around half of all businesses in Singapore.
