New Imperialism - AH RP v 2.1 [OOC, Signup]

[Altito Asmoro]

Would the French/British players mind if I posted that they, at least financially, supported the CSA through the Civil War?

Not sure if there'd be a civil war; ask Columbia about Pallasia. BTW, you know New France right?

Pallasia? What do you want with it?

Yes, I'm Gran Colombia.

Doesn't make much sense? Why?

How did the Amerindians manage to take over? Without colonisation, it wouldn't be a modern nation, but with colonisation, most of them would die and be replace by immigrant Europeans.
@Altito, more government detail, as well as in some other fields if possible, and I think it might be Minor Power.

Other fields? Such as? Although I think I already detailed it very much. I'll expand it with the government one.

[The Industrial States of Columbia]

Slavery would've probably not been legal in Pallasia far longer than that, one of the few sensible things the Stuarts did whilst in charge

Well, like, would you say that it'd be outlawed in the states you own, but you'd allow it in the CSA for a while longer, considering that their economy depended on slaves?

Pallasia doesn't have States. It would have been one federal state until the reformation of 1870, when it was divided into senatorial districts. With my pod being likely set round the end of the English Civil war, The colonies save those in New England would have been the homeland of the crown, who had to take anyone he could to be able to even hope to stand against the Commonwealth. (Hence no slaves)

History:

The vast Jewish migration to Eastern Europe for over eight centuries gave rise to a Jewish state in Eastern Europe. 1 and a half million Jews would settle in the territory of Poland, erecting Synagogues and teaching Yiddish and Hebrew to their communities. Then in the 1850s, a mass migration from the Jewish dominated areas began, with many Christian Poles refusing to live so close to a group they considered alien. By the 1860, with immigration from Ukraine and Russia, the Jewish population numbered 2.1 million.

It was these Jews who helped place King Roman II in power, it was them who elected him. They also gave him the privileges of being an absolute monarch, which allowed him to oversee a vast building scheme and attempts to attract more Jews to the country. No Jews arrived at the time, but in a surprisingly and desperate move, King Roman II sent Rabbis to educate and hopefully convert the nearby Baltic. It worked well, with around 90% of the area's inhabitants converting to Judaism. After some stern warnings, King Roman halted any further conversions - and after a plebiscite the areas agreed to unify with the Polish Realm as it was then known.

As 1881 rolls around, the country seems well; it contains 7.1 million Jews many of whom employed as craftsmen and bankers. (no racism or stereotyping intended) These are following in their parents' and grandparents footsteps, who often bought over considerable assets once they immigrated to the Kingdom. It's armed forces are strong and the economy seems to be handling itself quite well.

RP Example:

DPRK, Pyongyang, January 1969



Hard boots stomped on the concrete ground in unison as the formally dressed KPA units marched down the wide street, the crowds next to them were forming the North Korean flag and various communist insignia with pieces of card. Above them was Kim Il Sung, the Great Leader, Generalissimo and anything else you could think of. Next to him were the usual - generals, admirals, high ranking politicians etc, they thought of power and he thought of reform; because a small gap was slowly widening between North and South. Unfortunately these reforms couldn't be too obvious, the Chinese would see to that. Although despite his stormy rhetoric it was dawning on him that economic and social reforms were a needed reality.

First would be the implementation of a system allowing the citizens of Pyongyang to trade goods at stalls for North Korean Won, or U.S dollars if they were the richer political class. This would also be trialled on the North Korean-Chinese border where the citizenry often ended up considerably wealthier than the citizenry of Pyongyang. But before that, the basics would require fertiliser for crops, and there was one place where this could be obtained rather... well with difficulty but a letter or two could sweeten it hopefully.

And what's implausible about it?

First of all, "Slavic" is not an ethnicity. It's a group of them, and having it boiled down to a single one doesn't make very much sense.
Secondly, Gdansk doesn't make much sense as capital. Sure, it's a decent sized city, but there are other ones, more centrally located and better suited for purposes as capital.
The Jews, furthermore, have no reason to move. The only thing they share is religion, and so only a minority would move, others wanting to stay with cultural brethren. This minority is not nearly enough to create Jewish dominated areas, and there's no reason why they would move to those specific regions anyway, especially one that's just as prone as any other to expel them as they become a threat.
Poland and the other countries in the area appear to have simply vanished, which is obviously unrealistic, especially when they are fighting a minority they are able to contain, not another sovereign state.

There's generally a plethora of issues with the plot, and though it's a novel idea, it's not plausible, simply. If you want to go with it, try it on a much smaller scale.

Are Goymany and/or France still open?

Neither, though the German reservation is probably too big, so it'll probably be shaved, releasing lots of nice space around, contiguous with Hungary, Slovakia, Poland(?), etc.

Name: The Confederate States of America | Unofficial: The Confederacy/CSA | Demonym: American/Confederate
Symbols: Flag Great Seal Anthem
Claims: This (Overlapping with other reservations are claimed areas by CSA, but are not subject to be under de facto control)
Power: Secondary Power

Government Structure: Confederal Constitutional Republic (w/ White Male Suffrage, Slavery) | President is elected by an electoral college, Reps are elected by popular vote, and senators are elected by state legislature. States are given considerable power in regards to their own economies and domestic affairs, therefore, the policy of the federal government cannot be anything more than Interventionist.
Ideology/Policy: Southern Conservatism, Federalism, Imperialism, Interventionism
Leaders: President: Wade Hampton III | Vice President: John Henninger Reagan
Capital City: Richmond, VA

Population: 12.4 million
Primary Ethnic Group: Americans of European descent
Minority Ethnic Groups: African-Americans, Hispanics
Description of Ethnicity: Based on a hierarchical system, wherein the white populace is described as being superior to those who are not white. Life is built around agrarianism, though major cities are industrializing. The slaves, and even free blacks, have developed distinct vernaculars in some regions, such as simplified English, Gullah, etc. The accomplishments of Judah P. Benjamin have allowed increased toleration of Jews.
Language: English (The Better Kind-Pure Murican)
Religion: Mostly Baptist-Methodist, with some Episcopal here and there. Very largely Protestant. Roman Catholics have a presence in the coastal areas, and Jews in the cities. Although, both of these face considerable non-gov discrimination.

Foreign Relations: The Confederacy seeks to be generally amicable with Britain, Mexico, and New France. Conflicting claims with Pallasia, along with a general tension about the war, have made reconciliation between the two nations rough and unreliable. The Confederacy has seen itself become increasingly more isolated because of its slavery, something that President Hampton sees as too much of a nuisance to avoid.
Military Information: The Military is headed by President Hampton, Commander-in-Chief. Generally, the Congress may levy the states for volunteers and, in times of dire need, conscripts. Arms manufacturing is usually done through licensing with Britain or France. Most of the Army and Navy are consolidated into one solid branch, the CS Army and the CS Navy, respectively, with other branches being paramilitary groups under the President's control. A glorious view of war is being undertaken now by the maturing sons of the revolution.

Economic Policy: Free Trade, Interventionism | Government leaves a lot of local economic decisions to the states. However, the government may intervene in businesses should they see fit. However, the government maintains relatively low tariffs in order to stimulate trade and foreign capital. The federal government is trying to industrialize the nation, which may come at the expense of farmers.
Economic Situation: A big push was undergone, beginning with President Lee's presidency, to reduce taxes for industrialists. Industrial centers have been growing in Charleston, Nashville, and Atlanta. An economic depression occurred after the war, when Confederate money couldn't be backed quickly enough to reduce inflation, and a panic caused money to be withdrawn from the banks, known as the Panic of 1866. However, the nation is seeing a steady rise to surplus due to the paying off on debts acquired during the Panic and the Civil War
Infrastructure: Buildings generally built in the Beaux-Arts style. Efforts to increase the interests of industrialists and capitalists have culminated in the extensive construction of railroads since the end of the war, though with limited funds and slave labor. More and more mines are being constructed in the Appalachians, with plantations spreading in the less mountainous states of Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia.
Imports & Exports: Imports: Steel, Chemicals, Other Metals | Exports: Cotton, Wheat, Coal
Currency: Confederate Dollar

History: The South had been some of the first English colonies settled. Over time, growing senses and sympathies for democracy and states rights made the South a hotbed for discontent and unrest with England and, later, Pallasia. As the issue of sectional favoritism and anti-monarchism grew, the South became more militant.. Following secession in 1861, the Confederate Army organized itself under the command of General Joseph Johnston and marched north, defeating their opponents at the First Battle of Bull Run. As Johnston pulled back into Virginia to defend Richmond, however, he became wounded while attacking the Yankee invaders. As he was incapacitate at the time, Robert E. Lee was appointed commander of the Army of Northern Virginia over Johnston. Lee went on to have significant success early on in the war, crushing successively incompetent enemy generals. In 1863, President Jefferson Davis ordered Lee to go on the offensive to destroy the Northern will. Lee met his opportunity at the Battle of Gettysburg. After two days of intense fighting, Lee had encircled the enemy army and had effectively crushed it. Following the monstrous victory, Secretary of State Judah P. Benjamin secured funding for the army, and Lee defeated several Northern forages into Tennessee and, on September 22, 1864, the Confederate States of America signed the Treaty of Nashville, granting the nation its independence. Jefferson Davis declined reelection, with Lee winning unanimously and General James Longstreet as Vice President. Wade Hampton III was appointed Senior Commander of the Army in Lee's place. When the financial panic hit, Lee used his popularity to influence Congress and the states to pass the Central Banking Act, creating a government-run advisory structure to maintain and direct the banks. This was a compromise between the staunch fiscal conservatives and the industrialist-moderates. This, and several of Lee's other non-partisan resolutions, drew a wedge in between the two factions. Although the Lee-Longstreet ticket was reelected again unanimously in 1868, conservatives in Congress formed one faction, creating the Conservative Party. The opposing liberal-moderates created the Democratic Party. Lee spent half of his term trying to fight this sectionalism. However, Lee suffered a stroke and, two weeks later, died in 1870. Longstreet was sworn in as President and spent a good while trying to increase the industrial capacity of the nation, including the navy. Longstreet, in 1872, was the first president to be elected as a party candidate, being a representative of the Democratic Party. In 1873, Longstreet sent Adm. John Taylor Wood, a grandson of Zachary Taylor, along with soldiers under the command of Edwin Perry to seize control of Cuba, Hispaniola, and Puerto Rico. Skirmishes broke out between the old colonial troops and the new, but eventually, the Confederacy agreed to pay for the purchase of the lands and an ironclad ship. Longstreet continued his reforms, but faced considerable criticism due to his involvement in the Leclerc Affair, where Longstreet allegedly paid for inside information for land speculation. The Conservative Party candidate in 1876, Wade Hampton III, was elected President due to this affair, pursuing a more global foreign policy, military increases, and aggressive stances on domestic issues.
