IC:

In the brave new world, change has arrived. Mighty Empire clash on the high seas and on lands far away, vying for supremacy in a world coming into the dawn of industrialization. New ideas take hold, grasping some nations in chaos, as nations fight for their ideals and ways. Some have already fallen to the new ideas of Marxism, while others desire to spread their iron grasp of Imperial might over the world. This is our history, and now it is time to write it.

Recent Events:
-The Empire of Jason is in turmoil.

So this is it! In the region's age of Imperialism nations will rise, fall and be molded for the future. In an effort to make our region more jointly united in our history, some of us will go to war. Not ironic.

Sidenotes: I will update the news box with current events at each nation's desire. I do not require an app for each faction, but if they go on to declare independence, it might be nice to keep the numbers right. I am using 1914 russian stats, but our tech level is around the age of imperialism. All nations in the region are accepted, i just would like an app to keep things in order.

Nation Name: Confederation of Rizealand
Ruler:
Governor General: Sir Peter Lucius III
Prime Minister: Fredrick Hallsen
Flag (Optional):
Government Type: Semi-loose Constitutional monarchy
Recent History: In 1867, the powerful South Sunalayan Company was dissolved by the order of the British Parliament. In response, the three colonies of Edwardton, Ryzia, and Roxilia proposed a joint resolution to the British Parliament to request the permission to create a semi-sovereign government. The request was approved and a Constitutional Convention was held in Edwardton and the charter of the Royal Confederation of Edwardton, Ryzia, and Roxilia was created. The name was soon shortened to Rizealand and Parliamentry elections were held. Following the election of a Parliament, the Queen appointed a Governor General and a Prime minister was chosen.
Industrialization (1-10, how well or common industry is): 4

Nation name: Undefined
Ruler: Leader of the largest community (Lee) = Johann Laurenz
Flag (Optional): Undefined
Government Type: Separate individual communities lead by governors
Recent History: In very recent history, Johann Laurenz asked the other communities to unite as to be able to defend against the rising empires throughout the region. The most lucrative industry within the communities had become weapons manufacturing. Gievs and Fallree have once again gone to war with each other resulting in 6,400 deaths, the conflict ended with Gievs losing land to Fallree. Gunpowder is being mass produced along with weapons.
Industrialization (1-10, how well or common industry is): 6

Nation Name: Empire of Aznazia
Ruler: The Council (The Elite): a collection of 7 non-elected officials who run the government.
Flag (Optional):

Government Type: Oligarchy
Recent History:

Aznazia began it's life as a collection of 7 districts from the ashes of an old military dictatorship that collapsed in the early 1750's. A new oligarchy government took over to run the government and to make sure that no one man was in charge of the country. The Council was first made up of honest men who were elected from the 7 districts. They worked hard to bring prosperity and freedom to the people of Aznazia. However by 1805 they had been replaced by a group of corrupt men who stripped the parliament of it's power and took full power for themselves. In 1808 The Council dissolved the Parliament from the Monarchy age and took power for themselves. They claimed that it was necessary to "removed bureaucrats from interfering with the progression of society". As a result in 1809 the first poll tax was created and increased annually until the pieces were too much for common folk. By 1815 the freedom of speech and the press was eliminated when "anarchists" threatened to destroy the nation. However The Council were able to keep control by granting other freedoms. In 1823 slavery was abolished and citizens were given a free vote in local governments. Around 1820 the Northern Kingdoms (left over districts that did not join Aznazia) began to fight one another and expand their militaries. Using "Yellow Press" the The Council convinced the population of Aznaiza that the nation was under threat of attack from the small but aggressive kingdoms. In 1824 the New Military Act allowed the The Council to raise a new military to counter the Northern Kingdoms. Aznazia also expanded it's ports to allow more foreign ships to enter for trade and to house a larger navy. By 1831 the military was growing in size and new technology was making it possible for Aznazia to expand Westward throughout the Indian territories. In 1836 the Caldonian Principalities to Aznazia's west allied with the Indians and attacked Aznazia for attacking indian territory and violating territorial treaties written in 1794. The war lasted 2 years and end in an Aznazian victory. As a result nationalism is at an all time high as the economy grows and industrialization begins to take shape.

Industrialization (1-10, how well or common industry is): 6
-Military-
Land:

Peacetime:
Front line troops: 350,000 armed with single shot rifles (not muskets)
Marines: 50,000 armed with single shot rifles and falling block action rifles
Imperial Guard: 100,000 armed with falling block action rifles
Reserve: 500,000 million

War time: (takes 1 year to fully mobilize)
Front Line troops: 3.5 million armed with
Marines: 200,000
Imperial Guard: 300,000

Volley guns are being developed. (Pretty much a modern military with the latest gear thanks to the military's small size and thanks to Aznazia's industrial prowess.)

Naval:
Experimental light armored Frigate: 1
Steam ship of the line: 4
Ship of the line: 3
Steam Screw Frigates: 2
Paddle Steam Friagtes: 3
Sail Frigates: 6
Steam Screw Corvettes: 1
Paddle Steam Corvettes: 3
Sail Corvettes: 9
Steam Gunboats/sloops: 8
Gunboats/sloops: 8
Sloops of war: 7
Other small craft: 12

The navy is Aznazia's most prized military aspect. With exports to other nations Aznazia is interested in gaining naval supremacy of the seas and to set up foreign operating bases. (Highly modern and trained navy after the wars with Caldonia)

Factions:
-Imperial: 70% of the pop.
-Democratic: 20% of the pop. (Angry after the The Council dissolved the Parliament and removed freedoms.)
-Monarchist: 9% of the pop. (Desire a king to rule them opposed to the The Council and mostly located near Northern Kingdoms)
-Anarchist: 1% of the pop. ( for the hell of it)

Gotcha.

By 1840, the Gatling gun did not exist and would not exist until 1861. This means that it was definitely not being replaced.

By 1840, the only bolt action rifle available was simply a single shot breach load rifle that had bolt to seal the chamber. One would fire a shot, open the bolt, replace the round, close the bolt, then fire. It was actually more complicated to use than a musket.

By 1840, no semiautomatic handgun existed.

I'm sorry to say, but the most effective weapons in existence at that time were revolvers (which were uncommon and very expensive) and revolving rifles. Keep in mind that each chamber was first loaded with a piece of cotton/paper containing powder, next it was loaded with a projectile, and finally, it was packed tightly into place. After this process, it would be ready to fire.

These are also the reasons for which casualties were so high in the nineteenth century.

Also, please adjust your navies to be time suitable.

We are using imperial age technology. This isn't real world. We only set the date to be 1840 for Jason's civil war. Please read the OP and you will see that Jason clearly states that we are using imperial age technology.

Everyone is of course accepted. After school i will get the IC up.

The year is 1840, but technology is advanced to what we traditionally think as Imperialist Technology (Maxing Machine gun, rifles, big white battleships, ex). I think this is fair because our own countries are about 20/30 years ahead of our current technological standards. 1840 was a big year for revolutions and war, (Napoleon the III in france,) and other revolutions in Europe. Besides for that the year is irrelevant. And yes, i won't use subs... I literally copied and pasted the information from somewhere else....

And yes, anyone can tell me anything they want on the current events listing.

Could we just make the year 1885? This would be before Rhodevus' isolationist period and make the technology easier to police. We could make up another war for Jason.

Jason what we could do is have the monarchist government keep control of their lands until 1885 when the united Democratic and Soviet forces decide to finished off the slowly aging imperials.

A 45 civil war? I don't think so. However I have moved the revolution from 1917 to 1840 so I can more it to 1885 for the sake of the role play. However it was originally moved for Jedi and I to do a thread on the revolution. So I guess if the majority want the date as 1885 then it shall be 1885.

Well make the revolution in the 1880's. That was when Marxism was introduced so that would be a good time for a revolution, especially when you mix in the industrial age capitalism and unions then you have a war just waiting to be ignited. If anything a communist revolution would make more sense to take place in 1885 complained to 1840.

We can't do that because only 5 years later my empire will start to crumble. I NEED 60 YEARS OF IMPERIALISM!

Why not push your imperialism to WW1?

However if we must then we will do a 1840's RP with 1840's tech. I just want to know now because technology is key.

A WW1 era RP with the same name. Jason get's his 1917 revolution, Linden gets his Imperial time, I get my nice technology and imperialism period (which leads to an isolationist period), and Rhodevus is exiting his isolationist period. What does everyone say?

I got an other idea... We make these RPs a series. We begin in 1840, go on until I have my colonial empire and POD is united. Ones that is finished we continue with a RP in the 80's until you get your things done and my empire starts to collapse. Then we do a WWI RP and that will mark the end of Sunalayan imperialism.

You mean a series? So there is a 30-40 year gap between each one. Yeah I am onboard for that. I will fix my app to have 1840's tech.

Jason we should start this IC.
