Introduction!
Welcome to the year of of 2015! Except, with a twist, history hasn't quite gone the way it has in our reality. Now, I'm not going to specifically going to declare what has happened in this world, so that you can create your nations with some room for creativity, but maybe the Confederate States of America won the American Civil War? Maybe Hitler won World War II? Maybe the Soviet Union never broke apart, causing communist ideals to be widespread through Europe to this day! 9/11 may have never happened , meaning no War on Terror. Hell, the United States may not even be a superpower! It's all what your head can come up with in this one, so use your head, and be creative with it!
Overview!
It's me, The New Greek Republic! Now bringing you the third installment of The Modern World! series as we venture off into 2015. As the above paragraph states, this is a national alternate history RP starting in the year 2015, with the primary divergence point being the American Civil War, but I want to make it clear that there is no single point as long as you have a good backstory that flows with everyone else's history. In order to encourage more changes, the period between the American Civil War and the present can be changed significantly (obviously) to create a reasonably different, but not totally unrecognizable world. Some conflicts , like both WWI and WWII, will happen NO MATTER WHAT, though the causes and time of when they happened may be different.
As with real history, the end of WWI did not resolve Europe's conflicts, and WWII caused widespread chaos throughout Europe. Axis & Allied Powers are the same as they were in real life, so in your application say what your nation did in WWI and WWII & who your nation sided with if you're a nation that was nonexistent in real life, as well as other history of your nation. One more thing, the Cold War may not have happened after WWII, or may not have been between the USSR, and the United States, it may not have caused a space race, or an arms race. remember that in your applications. I apologize for any confusions you may have, but feel free to ask questions.
Land Claims
With land claims, I don't want wildly unreasonable claims , like the Third Reich controlling all of Europe. For there to be a Third Reich, Hitler would have to compensate. Actually, there probably wouldn't of been a Third Reich at all, but you know what I mean. That means withdrawing borders claims back. Okay? I also don't want a lot of invading and then annexation. I know this is alternate history, but c'mon , solve things diplomatically like in real life. Use war as a final optio only!
If two nations, claim the same area before one is accepted, those will be conflicted claims, unless they're claiming the same country (I.e. Russian Empire app and Soviet Union app) in which case it'll be awarded to the first applicant. If there is a Confederate States of America, then a United States applies, they may not recognize them and can claim it as theirs, but the Confederacy will still be there. Basically, it's a North/South Korea situation.

APPLICATIONS
Congrats, you have reached the application part! Without further stalling here you go! Thanks for reading all of this!
Reservation Application (For if you don't have time)
Land you want to reserve:
When will you be able to put up an application?:
If your reservation app is denied, will you still join in a different land?
NOTE: Reservations expire after 48 hours unless an extension is requested and granted.
Other Things
Guys, I really appreciate it if you looked at this thread and took the time to look over it all, I really reallly appreciate it. Thanks!
I want FULL detail in your posts that are at least 2 paragraphs in the IC, if you don't provide that you will be asked to leave and your posts will be retconned.
If you aren't a good RPer, you don't get along with others, and you aren't capable of staying plausibly real. Then just leave. It'd be a lot easier.
I will probably do whatever it takes to keep this alive. So if this ever gets slow, I'm going to make some big stuff (I.E. Random Events, or start a big political crisis.)
One last thing, this is a sequel/reboot to 2013: The Modern World! RP and 2014: The Modern a World! Both of which were respectively successful.
