• December 22, 1459: [Dalmasce] An English Duke by the name Godwin of Leicester declares the independence of the Kingdom of Dalmasca based out of a small barony in the sun-burnt western Sahara that would one day become known as Rabanastre. Godwin is a closet-follower of the Old Gods of Rome and he declares the state conquered in the name of Mars, a shock to many who had not heard the name in over a thousand years.

Got a big post coming up of a lot of my guys reactions, but after that you guys can. It'll be on IBC News by 2030hrs Zulu.

[Terra Reborn]

Anyone wishing to, post away.

[Khorsun]

I'll have Taneltar send some sort of bizarre condolence gift to the Queen. And Khorsun will be vigorously denying any connection with the killing.

Slight correction; I believe it was the "Eurasian Defense Pact" not the European Defense Pact. Unfortunately I had the details of it on NSWiki and it's been deleted. I will have to revisit the details with IM

That's what I thought frankly. Itailian Maifias will have to confirm.


Attention New Members
You may want to mosey on over to this thread and add your entries. This has information about Earth II player nations that is quickly accessible.

Just FYI, NSwiki.net's mostly been lost, unfortunately. However, you may get lucky and still find some of your pages on the archive mirror or the archive.org site (see the next post in that thread).

[Hi No Moto]

Just working out my history in the 18th and 19th Century and wanted to ask a few things of Earth II?

1. Hi No Moto being brought out of isolation? I'm leaning towards Apilonia being the one to force my nation out of isolation [if that's alright with you Api??] but if there is anyone else who was in a position to do so in 1861-1864 ... let me know.

2. Would it be alright if I put a conflict between me and Russia in the history, sort of like the Russo-Japanese War so I can establish my claims in Korea at an earlier date??

3. Byz, we'd need to work something out between our nations. I think we should try and set up some points in the past so that our two countries have more of a history together. So far the only thing I have so far is a Chinese and Korean Force defeating my invasion of Korea in 1592 and the whole attempted Mongol invasion of Hi No Moto which would have obviously affected China seeing as the Mongol Empire happened.

4. Also would the Roman's have been sailing about the world in 1542? I have them as the country that introduced firearms to Hi No Moto and Roman Catholicism.

[Hi No Moto]

Also would anyone be opposed to me running a little project?

I was thinking of making a couple of maps base on demographics so that we can know what the earth looks like in terms of religion, language and ethnicity? I'd also be interested in expanding the idea to historical maps so a map of the world at certain times in Earth II's history. That wouldn't be important but could be pretty cool to see.

[Terra Reborn]

That's fine by me, HNM, certainly makes the most sense. Also, the maps sounds interesting.

[Byzantium Imperium]

Ed never covered Sino-Japanese history with you? What the fuck man... Yeah we'll talk.

[Layarteb]

I am going to trade Malta to RomeW in exchange for his claims on Greece (North Sea Region [Lemnos]) and Greece (North Sea Region [Agios Efstratios]). I will complete the claim on these two islands in a separate thread with some past timeline.

I am going to add to this claim the following:

• Turkey (Çanakkale [Bozcaada])
• Turkey (Çanakkale [Gökçeada])

Bozcaada is 42.63 km² and Gökçeada is 279 km²

To be added into this RP:

• To Fall from Olympus
  
  • Thread Owner: Layarteb
  • Location: Europe, Mainland, Greece
  • Classification: Claim
  • Synopsis: The USSR incites pro-Soviet sentiments in the Republic of Lemnos. The Lemnosian government requests the aid of the Marseilles Agreement signatories inciting a civil war.
  • Miscellaneous Notes: History synopsis; 1950s - 1960s RP; influenced by the Lebanon Crisis of 1958.

FYI - if people want to play in this one - c'mon in just TG me before hand so I know what you're doing.

Gökçeada already has a troop presence due to the use of the airport. The other island, Bozcaada, shall be explained in due course.

• History
  
  • October 29, 2011: [Greater United Russia] The Soviet government determines that the materials used in the Grozny dirty bomb had come from Persia and that Al-Shams was not solely responsible. When the Soviet government confronts President Saoshyant concerning the matter, Russia is accused of a false flag operation and President Saoshyant threatens Russia with unilateral, military action.
  • October 30, 2011: [Greater United Russia] The Soviet government determines the secret link between the government of Persia and Al-Shams. They pass this information to the Empire of Layarteb.
  • November 2011 - March 2012: [Greater United Russia] Tensions in Moldova lead to a Soviet invasion. Throughout the conflict, the cause of these tensions is meddling by the Empire of Layarteb.
  • November 1, 2011: [Greater United Russia] The Union of Sovereign Slavic Republics officially declares war on Persia and begins air strikes against Persian military targets. The Empire of Layarteb condemns Persia for the Grozny dirty bomb and announces a statement of solidarity with the Soviet government. This is the first time such a declaration has been made by the government of Layarteb. This comes to be known as the Russo-Persian War.
  • February 5, 2012: [Greater United Russia] While visiting troops on the front, Dmitri Siloviki is assassinated by unknown anti-USSR, Moldovan partisans when the vehicle he is driving in is struck by an anti-tank missile. In truth, the assassination is carried out by black operative agents from the Empire of Layarteb.
  • February 7, 2012: [Greater United Russia] Dmitri Siloviki is confirmed dead ending his 20 year reign over the Union of Sovereign Slavic Republics.
  • April 1, 2012: [Greater United Russia] The Union of Sovereign Slavic Republics begins the process of reunification with Moldova.
  • April 2, 2012: [Greater United Russia] The Union of Sovereign Slavic Republics signs the Treaty of Tehran with Persia, ending the Russo-Persian War, it is as grossly favorable to the Union as the war itself was.
  • January 1, 2013: [Greater United Russia] The Union of Sovereign Slavic Republics enters a period of economic decline as oil and mineral prices stagnate. Unification is officially declared complete though standard of living has yet to return to Soviet era highs.
  • January 1, 2014: [Greater United Russia] After more than a year of silence from the USSR, Gordey Isayev is announced leader of the Union of Sovereign Slavic Republics. The USSR also changes its name in retrograde to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The move is quietly considered to be a grasp to former glory and prestige.

USSR, hit me up on IRC whenever you see me on. My handle's usually "Eeo". I have a feeling we need to talk...
