1850 : Alternative Divergence [AH][OOC][CLOSED]

[Claven]

If you are concerned about the quality of my posts then you can ask for an RP sample, though I don't see why my posting should be in question anymore then anyone else's or why I am somehow less likely to make this RP fun then other people.

My country's superlatives as you call them is nothing compared to some of the nations you have already approved. I am applying as a middle power of modest ambitions and aspirations with a population not even a tenth that of your Co-OP's mega khanate that seeks supremacy over all of Asia, how can I possibly be guilty of godmodding compared to that hegemonial hyper power aspiration. Besides why would my country always win any war it get into just because its a regional power? Regional powers loose war all the time. Both against the other countries in their region but certainly against great powers.

As for my uniqueness I have outlined a very different development of a very different Brazilian Empire in my bullet points, but yes its based on actual history. Why? Because nothing I or anyone else in this RP can think of could ever be half as fascinating let alone a fraction as complex as history. The fun of alternate history is to try to imagine what would happen if some pivotal changes to the progress of history occurred. When alternate history simply becomes a suspension of history and the invention of an ahistorical society there is no point and little fun.

You missed my point. It is not that I am questioning your ability to RP. It am not questioning your intelligence as RPer either. Heck, I don't mind if you are a hegemonic power like everyone else.

What I am saying is that it is a taboo for approving any app with superlative wording. I just went ahead and explained it instead of saying "nope, try again" because you, one of my many guests in this RP whom I am so glad you desire to join, deserve to know why I am saying no. The uniqueness is... well, I apologize. I did come off strong on that point. I really should have said that it is one of many options for you to not use superlative words and still have a powerful army.

... ... .. please don't poke at my one and only elephant in the room. If Sci was ANY less of a person that he is, I would have downright denied his request for Mongolia/China. And believe you me, he isn't getting ANY more freebees from now on. Seriously, Russia is one thing, but when ENTIRE Chinese mainland and all its population glory is in the hands of a single man... I start to get a bit anxious about things ^^;;;

Don't worry, U.S. Assyrians will drink from their skulls

If you can spare the time from fighting with Romans to come beat on the Mongols every once in awhile, that would be grand XDDD

Well if the problem is simply superlatives then I can just remove those.

I may have came off as lecturing you... and if I did, I am sorry and it really wasn't my intent. I thought it would be better to explain why I am not approving you than saying "I cannot approve your app" and leaving things there.

NP, I have a tendency to be quite lecturing myself as there are probably some people around here who can attest. ANyway consider the superlatives removed.

Nation Application

[code]Full Nation Name : Neo-Akkadian Empire
Majority/Official Culture : Mesopotamian (with a great deal of influence from Persian and Greek cultures)
Territorial Core :

http://postimg.org/image/jp5emf51p/full/

Territorial Claims: Israel, Phoenicia, Jordan, Elam, Nabataea, and the Sinai
Capital City : Babylon
Population : 11,000,000

Government Type : Absolute Monarchy
Government Ideology/Policies : Imperialist, Religious, Traditionalist, Nationalist, Expansionist
Government Focus : The government is intent on completely modernizing the empire while still maintaining the traditional culture that has been cultivated for almost 6000 years now. It is trying to find a way to balance political freedoms and order, while still holding on to the ancient values. The military, since ancient times, has always been a focus of the government, being a way to show imperial might, maintain order, and expand the borders of the empire
Head of State : King Assurdan
Head of Government : King Assurdan with the advice of his court
Government Description : The power of government is vested within the King, who rules the empire with the advice of his court. The court is mostly made up of members of the royal family, religious figures, nobles, and a few scholars. All members have to be in the favor of the King or risk being banished from the court. Normal citizens are not allowed to be part of the court

Majority/State Religion : Ancient Mesopotamian Polytheism
Religious Description : The Akkadians continue to practice the ancient religion of their ancestors, this form of polytheism being perhaps the oldest, continuous form of polytheism (and perhaps even religion). Each city has its own patron God, however some newer cities share the same gods as the older ones due to the settlers being from the latter. The Mesopotamian pantheon is headed by Enlil (Ashur being his Assyrian counterpart), the king of the gods and master of the world.

Economic Ideologies : Capitalism, with a mix of state planning
Major Production : Grains and cereals, poultry, dairy products, iron mining, and marble
Economic Description : The economy is still very much reliant on agriculture, most farms being small scale and family owned. However, the government has initiated plans to begin buying large plots of farmlands and investing in new technologies to improve production. The iron mining industry is mostly owned by rich businessmen with close contacts with the government. Plans are also being made to begin the process of industrialization, but there with small urban populations, the fulfillment of such plans will take much time. Trade is also becoming less and less important as European powers are finding new trade routs to the east.

Army Strength : The fiercest army in the near east, the Akkadians are well known for their military might. There are many capable generals who have much experience in fighting bro outing armies. Their cavalry is renowned for their effectiveness in the field. Heavy infantry is still utilized to full effect, and have routed many an enemy with their charges. The army is also well acquainted with modern-level artillery. Modern line infantry regiments are also being added to the army, slowly replacing old archer and infantry regiments.
Army Weakness : Lack of modern weaponry. The use of bows and arrows is still more common than rifles and other modern ranged weapons. The army is also only suited to its current location (the near east), never having experienced battle in different environments.
Naval Strength : Great in coastal waters and defending the ports, the navy is great when used defensively. With little to no coastline, the empire is relatively safe from naval invasions
Naval Weakness : While still capable in defense, the navy is becoming severely outdated. It is also unable to undergo ocean travel and is limited to coastal waters. Furthermore, there is a lacking of experienced naval officers and admirals.
Further Military Description : The empire has a standing army of 150,000 soldiers split into 10 divisions, consisting of 2 heavy cavalry, 2 ranged cavalry, 4 heavy infantry, 3 archer, 2 line infantry, and 2 artillery divisions. Reserve force of 100,000 troops could be called up within 3 months time, and the empire is always preparing for a war with her neighbors. The navy consists of roughly 50 ships in the gulf, and 20 ships in the Eastern Mediterranean. They are mostly used for defending ports and merchant ships.

The military also acts as a police force, maintaining order and suppressing revolts. In the past, the military has also been used as a political tool to remove potential rivals in the court and has even declared new kings. Currently, the military is to be kept completely separate from politics, loyal solely to the king.

The military still maintains is fierce some reputations and great terrors have been committed against Akkads neighbors and rivals. Psychological warfare is a main aspect of the military, and deportations have regularly occurred in previously conquered territory. Also, slave labor is utilized and conquered people's have a choice to serve in the army as conscripts or other forms of labor for a retain period of time to secure their freedom and rights as full citizens.

National Goals : To secure the Middle East and to continue the legacy of Mesopotamian civilization
National Issues : The empire needs to modernize rapidly to avoid being taken out by her neighbors. New techniques have yet to be used in agriculture, thus increasing the need for more people to work the land, and less people to migrate to cities. Infrastructure is also old and slowly crumbling. The political system of the empire is dominated by the royals and nobles, and average people are either apathetic to politics or are demanding reform.
National Figures of Interest : None
National Ambition/Aspirations : To recreate the old Neo-Assyrian empire, thus conquering the entire Near East

History :

The collapse of the Achaemenid empire after the death of Darius I due to the competing claims for the throne split the old empire into roughly eight nations. Of these, Assyria was ruled by Persian nobles who had gained influence in the area. They spoke Aramaic and adopted Assyrian culture, as did most of the new rulers with their respective nations. During this time Assyria was constantly under threat of invasion by her neighbors, namely the once more great Babylonian and Persian empires. It was their aim to reconstruct their respective empires, thus annexing Assyria. Struggling to maintain the southwestern front, the kingdom collapsed and was ruled by the Babylonians in the south, the Persians in the east, and in the west, Phoenicians and other lesser kingdoms took over.

It is only during the time after Alexander the greats invasions do we see a resurrection of the Assyrian nation. Alexander, with his desire to recreate the empire of Cyrus, managed to conquer all of the near east, Egypt, the Caucasus, and much of the southern parts of Central Asia as well as Pakistan. After his death, some semblance of control remained as the generals agreed to form a temporary coalition government. However, this did not lasts long, as Ptolemy married the descendants of the Persio-Egyptian rulers of Egypt and declared himself the true successor. Seleucus, a lesser general managed to wrestle control of the entire eastern portion of the empire and from there the two giants sought to overcome each other. The Ptolemids, with their desire to see the Seleucids fall, took to supporting proto-nationalist movements within her enemy. Support was given to the Assyrians and together, they managed to gain control of Nineveh and Ashur, the historic capitals of the Assyrian empire.

The Assyrians managed to maintain control over northern Mesopotamia, pushing back Seleucid attempts to retake the territory. The Ptolemids managed to liberate the other nations of the near east, Israel and Phoenicia, reducing further Seleucid power in the west. Finally, the Seleucids collapsed into multiple Greco-Eastern empires, and Babylon managed to regain control over southern Mesopotamia. The sparking of Assyrian nationalism had created a desire by her kings to see the lands of ancient Akkad united. Through years of fierce warfare, and the great ravaging of the fertile lands, Babylon finally fell to the Assyrians. Up to this point, Aramaic had become the lingua franca of the near east. The now unified Akkadians sought to change that and began a process of reconstructing the old languages of Akkadian and Sumerian. At that point, the ancient languages of Sumer were almost as old to the Assyrians of that point as they are to the year 1850.

Around the year 100 BC, the Akkadians began to expand once more, taking over the entire Fertile Crescent, much of Persia, and almost conquering Egypt. It was in the later years that the Akkadians met the Romans on the field of battle, Rome managing to make Egypt her vassal and gain influence over all of Asia Minor. The Akkadians and Romans continuously fought border skirmishes, no clear victor ever emerging. At that point, the empire had began to stagnate, and her power continuously weakened. She was unprepared to face the rise of the Arabs, and they then conquered all of the empire. The Arabs reigned relatively fairly for the first years, but under the Umayyads, Arabs were granted a special status. Greatly angered, many revolts emerged but all were suppressed successfully.

It was when the Turkic hordes of Central Asia arrived that the Akkadian empire reemerged. The Arabs and Turks competing for influence, weakened both nations, and Assyria managed to take back her old provinces. Sparing few of the Turkics, the Assyrians slaughtered her enemies and pushed them back to the Iranian plateau. The Arabs too weakened, collapsed and many ancient empires rose once more. However, while the Assyrians attempted to rebuild their empire, the Mongols arrived and smashed her attempts. They didn't stay for long though, as they in turn were defeated by the Egyptian armies. Capitalizing on this opportunity, the Assyrians once more took to arms and rid themselves of their conquerors.

In the years after, great pains were taken to reunite the Akkadian empire, Babylon for a few centuries seemed impregnable. However, eventually, it too fell and the Akkadians entered an era of peace, security and prosperity. To secure her eastern border, she created the state of Elam, reconstructing the ancient empire. Now, with the rise of new powers on the west, her eyes once more turn to the western regions of the Fertile Crescent.

Hey, would you mind if I would keep a small fleet in there? Not with the purpose of affecting your sovereignty in any way, I just want to have it there in case the Russians of someone else tries to do something.

Guidance Name : The Achaemenid Collapse

Guidance Description : After the death of Darius I, the throne of Persia was contested between Xerxes and his half-brother Artobarzanes, the eldest son. The two brothers competed for influence amongst the satraps, and each created his own sphere of influence. The revolts in Egypt and Babylon grew, and the two brothers rushed to suppress them. In Babylon, Xerxes actions outraged the natives and the Persians were kicked out of the city. Achaemenes, a brother of Xerxes was sent to crush the revolt in Egypt, but he later declared the independence of Egypt by making himself Pharaoh and adopting Ancient Egyptian customs. Artobarzanes, taking the opportunity, declared himself King of Babylon and led her armies to victory over a few Persian armies. Unrest erupted over the empire and soon the Hebrews, Phoenicians, Anatolians and Assyrians too declared their independence. Xerxes and his armies were unable to prevent said things from occurring and he had to be content with Persia, Media and Elam.

Thus, the Persian empire was now pushed to the east, consisting of the Iranian plateau and parts of Central Asia. For many years after, they would try without success to conquer the territories of her former empire. In many of the states, old Persian marbles became the rulers. To cement their control, they adopted the cultures and languages of their respective territories

Affected Area : Middle East, Central Asia, Egypt, and Greece (Greece because Xerxe's invasion of Greece wouldnt have happened)

National Goals :Unite plains Nations under the Confederation, Bring Canadian Tribes into the nation, Aide the Apache in Unification and bring annex texas as Apache district
National Issues : lesser tribes need to be better assimilated
National Figures of Interest : Chumash Chief Kawakatuse (unified the Chinook, Chumash, Navajo to form the original confederation.
National Ambition: Unify all tribes of the americas.

History :

In the early 1600's visits from european colonists exploring the western coast of North America led to interaction and a relative culture shock of the area. Starting with the Chumash tribe wars and ideology spread like wildfire. By 1670 all of southern California and parts of the Mojave Desert were under Chumash control. Around that same time the Chinook after brief wars with neighboring tribes had secured the majority of the Northeast coast.

In 1685 The Chumash had been assimilating entire tribes rather than just prisoners of war for over 35 years. They had begun to alter the general ideology of native americans in the area. War had become about land and prestige.

When Navajo and Chumash began coming in contact the two discovered one another to be equal matches. They traded with one another and built on each other's success. In the North the Chinook had expanded to control much of the Northwest assimilating all the tribes they conquered and were steadily expanding.

It took another forty years but the five tribes of the confederation had expanded and assimilated until they all bordered each other by 1725.

Chief Kawakatuse was born to the Chumash people in what became Sierra. He began more extensive inter tribe dealings and by his thirtieth birthday had diplomatically convinced the Navajo and Chinook to join the Chumash in a confederation.

The three became catapulted to power over the other parts of Western North America. Soon however Shoshone and Crow alliance became a bitter enemy. In 1763 with the death of Kawakatuse the next Leader was elected ordered an invasion of Shoshone lands. The war lasted until 1769 when the Crow and Shoshone were finally defeated in the battle of the snake river.

Under the confederation the five tribes gradually worked through their differences and by 1800 the tribes had become a very stable nation. In 1810 an Apache chief under confederate protection approached the government of California in hopes to get their help in the Apache want for independence from foreign control.

While unable to fight alongside their Apache brothers the Confederation has been supplying arms and publicly calling for the Apache territory independence. However the issue is growing quite quickly, and war is a growing possibility.

However, your factors are unique enough that I understand you just didn't have enough years to develop them. Still, if you are willing, please update and elaborate a bit more on history ^^

National Goals :Unite plains Nations under the Confederation, Bring Canadian Tribes into the nation, Aide the Apache in Unification and bring annex texas as Apache district
National Issues : lesser tribes need to be better assimilated
National Figures of Interest : Chumash Chief Kawakatuse (unified the Chinook, Chumash, Navajo to form the original confederation.
National Ambition: Unify all tribes of the americas.

History :

In the early 1600's visits from european colonists exploring the western coast of North America led to interaction and a relative culture shock of the area. Starting with the Chumash tribe wars and ideology spread like wildfire. By 1670 all of southern California and parts of the Mojave Desert were under Chumash control. Around that same time the Chinook after brief wars with neighboring tribes had secured the majority of the Northeast coast.

In 1685 The Chumash had been assimilating entire tribes rather than just prisoners of war for over 35 years. They had begun to alter the general ideology of native americans in the area. War had become about land and prestige.

When Navajo and Chumash began coming in contact the two discovered one another to be equal matches. They traded with one another and built on each other's success. In the North the Chinook had expanded to control much of the Northwest assimilating all the tribes they conquered and were steadily expanding.

It took another forty years but the five tribes of the confederation had expanded and assimilated until they all bordered each other by 1725.

Chief Kawakatuse was born to the Chumash people in what became Sierra. He began more extensive inter tribe dealings and by his thirtieth birthday had diplomatically convinced the Navajo and Chinook to join the Chumash in a confederation.

The three became catapulted to power over the other parts of Western North America. Soon however Shoshone and Crow alliance became a bitter enemy. In 1763 with the death of Kawakatuse the next Leader was elected ordered an invasion of Shoshone lands. The war lasted until 1769 when the Crow and Shoshone were finally defeated in the battle of the snake river.

Under the confederation the five tribes gradually worked through their differences and by 1800 the tribes had become a very stable nation. In 1810 an Apache chief under confederate protection approached the government of California in hopes to get their help in the Apache want for independence from foreign control.

While unable to fight alongside their Apache brothers the Confederation has been supplying arms and publicly calling for the Apache territory independence. However the issue is growing quite quickly, and war is a growing possibility.

Nation Application

[code]Full Nation Name : Neo-Akkadian Empire
Majority/Official Culture : Mesopotamian (with a great deal of influence from Persian and Greek cultures)
Territorial Core :

http://postimg.org/image/jp5emf51p/full/

Territorial Claims: Israel, Phoenicia, Jordan, Elam, Nabataea, and the Sinai
Capital City : Babylon
Population : 11,000,000

Government Type : Absolute Monarchy
Government Ideology/Policies : Imperialist, Religious, Traditionalist, Nationalist, Expansionist
Government Focus : The government is intent on completely modernizing the empire while still maintaining the traditional culture that has been cultivated for almost 6000 years now. It is trying to find a way to balance political freedoms and order, while still holding on to the ancient values. The military, since ancient times, has always been a focus of the government, being a way to show imperial might, maintain order, and expand the borders of the empire
Head of State : King Assurdan
Head of Government : King Assurdan with the advice of his court
Government Description : The power of government is vested within the King, who rules the empire with the advice of his court. The court is mostly made up of members of the royal family, religious figures, nobles, and a few scholars. All members have to be in the favor of the King or risk being banished from the court. Normal citizens are not allowed to be part of the court

Majority/State Religion : Ancient Mesopotamian Polytheism
Religious Description : The Akkadians continue to practice the ancient religion of their ancestors, this form of polytheism being perhaps the oldest, continuous form of polytheism (and perhaps even religion). Each city has its own patron God, however some newer cities share the same gods as the older ones due to the settlers being from the latter. The Mesopotamian pantheon is headed by Enlil (Ashur being his Assyrian counterpart), the king of the gods and master of the world.

Economic Ideologies : Capitalism, with a mix of state planning
Major Production : Grains and cereals, poultry, dairy products, iron mining, and marble
Economic Description : The economy is still very much reliant on agriculture, most farms being small scale and family owned. However, the government has initiated plans to begin buying large plots of farmlands and investing in new technologies to improve production. The iron mining industry is mostly owned by rich businessmen with close contacts with the government. Plans are also being made to begin the process of industrialization, but there with small urban populations, the fulfillment of such plans will take much time. Trade is also becoming less and less important as European powers are finding new trade routs to the east.

Army Strength : The fiercest army in the near east, the Akkadians are well known for their military might. There are many capable generals who have much experience in fighting bro outing armies. Their cavalry is renowned for their effectiveness in the field. Heavy infantry is still utilized to full effect, and have routed many an enemy with their charges. The army is also well acquainted with modern-level artillery. Modern line infantry regiments are also being added to the army, slowly replacing old archer and infantry regiments.
Army Weakness : Lack of modern weaponry. The use of bows and arrows is still more common than rifles and other modern ranged weapons. The army is also only suited to its current location (the near east), never having experienced battle in different environments.
Naval Strength : Great in coastal waters and defending the ports, the navy is great when used defensively. With little to no coastline, the empire is relatively safe from naval invasions
Naval Weakness : While still capable in defense, the navy is becoming severely outdated. It is also unable to undergo ocean travel and is limited to coastal waters. Furthermore, there is a lacking of experienced naval officers and admirals.
Further Military Description : The empire has a standing army of 150,000 soldiers split into 10 divisions, consisting of 2 heavy cavalry, 2 ranged cavalry, 4 heavy infantry, 3 archer, 2 line infantry, and 2 artillery divisions. Reserve force of 100,000 troops could be called up within 3 months time, and the empire is always preparing for a war with her neighbors. The navy consists of roughly 50 ships in the gulf, and 20 ships in the Eastern Mediterranean. They are mostly used for defending ports and merchant ships.

The military also acts as a police force, maintaining order and suppressing revolts. In the past, the military has also been used as a political tool to remove potential rivals in the court and has even declared new kings. Currently, the military is to be kept completely separate from politics, loyal solely to the king.

The military still maintains is fierce some reputations and great terrors have been committed against Akkads neighbors and rivals. Psychological warfare is a main aspect of the military, and deportations have regularly occurred in previously conquered territory. Also, slave labor is utilized and conquered people's have a choice to serve in the army as conscripts or other forms of labor for a retain period of time to secure their freedom and rights as full citizens.

National Goals : To secure the Middle East and to continue the legacy of Mesopotamian civilization
National Issues : The empire needs to modernize rapidly to avoid being taken out by her neighbors. New techniques have yet to be used in agriculture, thus increasing the need for more people to work the land, and less people to migrate to cities. Infrastructure is also old and slowly crumbling. The political system of the empire is dominated by the royals and nobles, and average people are either apathetic to politics or are demanding reform.
National Figures of Interest : None
National Ambition/Aspirations : To recreate the old Neo-Assyrian empire, thus conquering the entire Near East

History :

The collapse of the Achaemenid empire after the death of Darius I due to the competing claims for the throne split the old empire into roughly eight nations. Of these, Assyria was ruled by Persian nobles who had gained influence in the area. They spoke Aramaic and adopted Assyrian culture, as did most of the new rulers with their respective nations. During this time Assyria was constantly under threat of invasion by her neighbors, namely the once more great Babylonian and Persian empires. It was their aim to reconstruct their respective empires, thus annexing Assyria. Struggling to maintain the southwestern front, the kingdom collapsed and was ruled by the Babylonians in the south, the Persians in the east, and in the west, Phoenicians and other lesser kingdoms took over.

It is only during the time after Alexander the greats invasions do we see a resurrection of the Assyrian nation. Alexander, with his desire to recreate the empire of Cyrus, managed to conquer all of the near east, Egypt, the Caucasus, and much of the southern parts of Central Asia as well as Pakistan. After his death, some semblance of control remained as the generals agreed to form a temporary coalition government. However, this did not lasts long, as Ptolemy married the descendants of the Persio-Egyptian rulers of Egypt and declared himself the true successor. Seleucus, a lesser general managed to wrestle control of the entire eastern portion of the empire and from there the two giants sought to overcome each other. The Ptolemids, with their desire to see the Seleucids fall, took to supporting proto-nationalist movements within her enemy. Support was given to the Assyrians and together, they managed to gain control of Nineveh and Ashur, the historic capitals of the Assyrian empire.

The Assyrians managed to maintain control over northern Mesopotamia, pushing back Seleucid attempts to retake the territory. The Ptolemids managed to liberate the other nations of the near east, Israel and Phoenicia, reducing further Seleucid power in the west. Finally, the Seleucids collapsed into multiple Greco-Eastern empires, and Babylon managed to regain control over southern Mesopotamia. The sparking of Assyrian nationalism had created a desire by her kings to see the lands of ancient Akkad united. Through years of fierce warfare, and the great ravaging of the fertile lands, Babylon finally fell to the Assyrians. Up to this point, Aramaic had become the lingua franca of the near east. The now unified Akkadians sought to change that and began a process of reconstructing the old languages of Akkadian and Sumerian. At that point, the ancient languages of Sumer were almost as old to the Assyrians of that point as they are to the year 1850.

Around the year 100 BC, the Akkadians began to expand once more, taking over the entire Fertile Crescent, much of Persia, and almost conquering Egypt. It was in the later years that the Akkadians met the Romans on the field of battle, Rome managing to make Egypt her vassal and gain influence over all of Asia Minor. The Akkadians and Romans continuously fought border skirmishes, no clear victor ever emerging. At that point, the empire had began to stagnate, and her power continuously weakened. She was unprepared to face the rise of the Arabs, and they then conquered all of the empire. The Arabs reigned relatively fairly for the first years, but under the Umayyads, Arabs were granted a special status. Greatly angered, many revolts emerged but all were suppressed successfully.

It was when the Turkic hordes of Central Asia arrived that the Akkadian empire reemerged. The Arabs and Turks competing for influence, weakened both nations, and Assyria managed to take back her old provinces. Sparing few of the Turkics, the Assyrians slaughtered her enemies and pushed them back to the Iranian plateau. The Arabs too weakened, collapsed and many ancient empires rose once more. However, while the Assyrians attempted to rebuild their empire, the Mongols arrived and smashed her attempts. They didn't stay for long though, as they in turn were defeated by the Egyptian armies. Capitalizing on this opportunity, the Assyrians once more took to arms and rid themselves of their conquerors.

In the years after, great pains were taken to reunite the Akkadian empire, Babylon for a few centuries seemed impregnable. However, eventually, it too fell and the Akkadians entered an era of peace, security and prosperity. To secure her eastern border, she created the state of Elam, reconstructing the ancient empire. Now, with the rise of new powers on the west, her eyes once more turn to the western regions of the Fertile Crescent.

Awesome app. I like how you managed to push out history from the less than modern era. I could only skim it because I need to go to sleep, but I know contents when I see them ^^. Thanks and welcome to the RP!!

My app's almost done. I just need to know how far back you need me to start for the history.

That's it for apps for now.

Will update map... eventually. But I need to take a break from map tmw (after my sleep) to get my own app done.

Anyhow... g'night folks. I hope that co-OPs will help me with further reserves and approvals?

My app's almost done. I just need to know how far back you need me to start for the history.

For me it diverged as far back as 1646 so that should be an indicator .

[Tracian Empire]

Don't worry, U.S. Assyrians will drink from their skulls

If you can spare the time from fighting with Romans to come beat on the Mongols every once in awhile, that would be grand XDDD

Don't worry, I don't intend on fighting him. My primary objectives are Rome and the Black Sea coast. I can probably help against the Mongols too.
