Sun Never Sets - RP Signups!
1837-2000
Introduction
It is June 20, 1837.
The sun casts light over London. In a way, metaphorical but unfitting. The public was in mourning; King William has passed, and his niece, Alexandrina Victoria, has ascended the throne earlier that day. Her coronation is in an age of turbulence; dangerous ideas are advancing ever so slowly through European courts, undermining the supposed godly wills of monarchs. Massive European diaspora has begun under a banner of stars and stripes; seeking liberty and riches. Great thinkers find the world on auspicious scientific epiphanies, bearing the fruits of life and death. European vessels glide along the crystal blue waters of the Pacific and Atlantic, claiming colonies and conquering natives in the name of God and King.
The eastern "barbarians" are given an ultimatum; advance or be eaten by overseas powers. The order of the old looks on wearily, as a tricolor rises from the ground, a majestic setting sun signifies the end of another day - a day of change and foreshadowing.
Theoretically, the sun never sets.

Putting aside what I think was a decently written introduction on my part, the overall goal is to develop your nation from 1837 to 2000, which so far, is when I think we will end it. Some goals consist of becoming an industrialised power, being at the forefront of science, maintaining stability (and possibly, status quo), and if interested, ruling the waves.
Playable nations will include most present nations as of June 20, 1837. So these include the great powers defined at Vienna in 1815 (the British Empire, France, Austria, Prussia, Spain, Russia, etc), nations with considerable power (such as Sardinia-Piedmont, Two Sicilies, Sweden, Portugal, Denmark, etc), American nations (USA, Mexico, Colombia, etc), Asian nations (Qing, Japan, etc), and African nations (Egypt). All nations playable & claimants are listed below, as well as the map.
