Lets Create A Country's History!

[Yatzatz]

48 AFZ: Zoltonland grows to 100,000 population. The government, however, becomes more and more authoritarian.
51 AFZ: Original citizens of Zoltonland declared first-class citizens, and others, such as the refugees from Boctiv, declared second-class.

[Yatzatz]

21 AFZ: The therizinosaurs wreak havoc on Boctivian troops. Some Boctivian land is taken before a cease-fire is arranged.

/skip What? Aren't therizinosaurs animals? And i just posted so it's 46.

Changed.

[The Danish Confederacy]

60 AFZ: A radical new economic theory is brought up by a man named Fred Rassa. His theories on seizing the means of production and a country run by the working class is called Rassism.

[Yatzatz]

64 AFZ: Rassa dies in very mysterious circumstances. His followers believe the government killed him.

I feel we've come too far with Jenniferia just to abandon it, so I will continue posting in its timeline until the year 2017 or the nations destruction, whichever comes first.

1736: The alliance collapses during a time of unrest. The people of Jenniferia want to govern themselves believing that the aristocrats would lead to the decline of the region. Autonomous states are created but they do not last. War is declared and Jenniferia undergoes a quick civil war. The people take hold of the capital and eventually the former government collapse. Of course the people had no idea how they would run their nation. So, at the end of all the fighting, no prominent figures choose to lead the nation leaving it vulnerable to attacks.
1737 (Jan-Mar): The New City of Deskartiel, a city state from the north who recently founded a new religion, Zeck, declares a holy war against the devastated Jenniferia and...

1738-1750: takes much land, but can't take enough before religious minorities rise up and destabilize the city-state. Jenneferia takes back land that was taken over and Deskartiel itself.

In the meantime, in the Empire, a revolution occurs by disgruntled Jacobins. Dissatisfied with the Empire's treatment of the poor, they rise up and establish the Revolutionary Republic of the New Sun. Jenneferia and Darcilia declare war on them, but the Republic has a genius corporal named Gapoleo Bonné.

1750-1754: Nearby monarchies, fearing that the RRNS would encourage revolutions in their home countries as well, declare war on Jenniferia as the Second League of Trelaia. Both sides fight from 1751 to 1754 through the swamps and fields of Relsenia, where the League is able to gain some land but cannot attack the heavily fortified capital of Relsenport. The situation in Relsenia becomes a stalemate. Meanwhile, further to the northeast, the League assemble a massive (by 1753 standards) army of 600,000 men that finally meets Bonne's army of 400,000 in Stolta, a small city in the Jenniferian province of Tralvia. The League outnumber Jenniferian troops and locals support the League, but Bonne is in a good position geographically, has the advantage of defending, and is a master tactician. Who will win...


I will leave the outcome of the battle for the next player to decide...

The battles a stalemate. No one is able to occupy any land without getting attacked and the people long for peace. both nations sign white peace in 1759.

1789: The first railroad, built between Portbarry and Legané City, is constructed, which sees a large boom in travel between the two cities. Further railroads are planned to be built, and is planned to connect Portbarry with other cities such as Alexi's Fortress (built south of Alexi's Wall as a housing for troops),
Newdove and Aeri City (I can't remember any other major cities, but include them too in the list). The first factories are constructed in Portbarry in 1780,
and by 1789 the early industrial revolution (as historians would come to call it) was gaining momentum all over the Jenniferian Alliance.

Ummm...what was the government like during this time? And when you say "white peace with no land annexed" do you mean Jenniferia keeps Bordeline and Darcelia or do they become independent?

[Torrentio]

67 AFZ - The Zoltonland Government begins banishing suspected Rassists, condemned to wander the desert until death.

[Yatzatz]

72 AFZ: A group of banished Rassists get together and form Parassadise, a Rassist country. Thousands of Rassists leave Zoltonland for Parassadise.

[Unnamedland]

83 AFZ: The government of Zoltonland makes immigration to Parassadise punishable by death in 75 AFZ. IN 83 AFZ Zoltonland invades Parassadise, the outcome of this invasion can be decided by the next poster.

[Torrentio]

85 AFZ: After three years of bloody war, with both sides losing sizable portions of their population, the Rassists are finally defeated. The Zoltonland military puts all Parassadise citizens to death or enslavement.

[Yatzatz]

89 AFZ: The people of Zoltonland rise up in revolt against the government, after seeing this travesty. The resulting civil war ends in... (next poster continues)

[Caasd]

90 AFZ: a new government, with the aims of building a better nation for all.

OOC:I know, a change of government, how rare for this thread.

[Yatzatz]

92 AFZ: The new government adopts a mix of Rassism and capitalism.
92 AFZ-107 AFZ: The coumtry prospers.
100 AFZ: The centenial celebration occurrs, with 10,000 people. Parties into the night.

[The Kolam Brotherhood]

107-120 AFZ: The nation continues prospering and a distinct capitalist noble and the people's favorite, Jorhan von Lapsburg, becomes king. He decides to expand his kingdom and sends the traders and explorers north in hopes of finding fertile kingdoms like his own to trade with. Jorhan II, along with the rest of the Lapsburg family, is known throughout the land to be peaceful towards other nations and caring towards his people. The population reaches 14,000.

[Caasd]

121 AFZ: A mysterious disease strikes the nation, spreading far and wide, with not even the royal family unaffected.

1790: Gelnam Telvar, son of Helmack Telvar, a second-rate explorer and known as slightly less of an idiot compared to his father, charters a ship and hires a crew, and sets sail, hoping to finish the expedition his father started.

[Unnamedland]

1791: Gelnam Telvar reaches the barren desert that his father had found and then attempts to sail further south. There he finds a better area of some plains in front of a massive range of mountains. It's not exactly the land filed with resources that his father dreamed of, but it's something he can work with. He returns back to Jenniferia and asks for permission to set up a colony.
1798: Permission is granted for Telvar to establish a colony. Telvar prepares to set sail with 4 ships.
1800: Telvar arrives in Telvarsland. However, while still sailing down the desert coastline, he gets his flagship caught on a reef due to his stupidity. He attempts to make repairs but there is almost no wood in the middle of the desert. He decides to continue sailing his flagship down the coast despite the risk. A few days later, the flagship sinks in a violent storm, taking Telvar and one fourth of the expedition's supplies with him. However, Helmack Telvar's grandson, Stertan Telvar, becomes leader of the expedition and insists on continuing it.

[The Danish Confederacy]

1801: Stertan Telvar hires a band of explorers to go on the Third Expedition of Telvarsland and sets sail. He reaches Telvarsland in August of 1801. He sails along the coast, avoiding the reef that most certainly cursed his father. However, because the idiot gene hasn't quite been bred out, crashes the ship (the HMJSS Stripe) into the shore, abandoning him, his crew, and the supplies on the coast of some plains.

1803: Turns out a bunch of mercenaries and a second rate explorer can sustain a colony. The fort of Fort Telvar, the first fort of Telvarsland, becomes self sustaining. However, the natives have been angered by this act of aggression. Being the idiot that Telvar is, he assumes it's a welcoming party. He stands at the walls, and the natives attack. The fate of Fort Telvar is in fate's (the next player) hand.

[Torrentio]

1803: Fort Telvar manages to repel the natives, but Stertan takes an arrow to the arm. He orders the construction of a barge, and looks to his grandfather's maps, which had been edited by his father, and now himself. Seems that he might be close to Mishina, and work on a new ship begins. Further palisades are built out past the farms, so that the farmers are protected.

[Caasd]

1806: A failing fishmonger by the name of James McMacDonald is given a large sum of money, and is promised future "donations" if he follows the instructions of his new financial backers. Using the money, James resurrects his business and rapidly begins to expand.

1807: James takes over six other fishmongers in the Portbarry area, acting on tips from his backers.

1810: Again acting on tips from his backers, James begins buying out over companies, no longer sticking to the fish industry, but expanding into many areas.

[Yatzatz]

129 AFZ: A brilliant scientist finds a cure for Zoltonitis. The scientist, Hubert Tozar, begins an era of scientific progress.

[The Federation of Kendor]

OOC: Perhaps we should make a player post in more than one timeline at the same time, but allow some leniency for them to not post in one of them if they don't know. On a side note, all players here should check out the website, or rather, forum that I create. The link is on my signature, being called "My forum".

IC:

1812 AD: James started to expand his business to other countries. His business, called "James MacDonald Ventures" now produce many produces and services through the business' subsidiaries, such as mining, weapon making, canning, mercenary, etc. Meanwhile, Helaxion now opens itself and become a democratic state. The business spreads to Del-Kasha and Helaxion. Meanwhile, steam engine, invented many years ago, now become widespread, with many factories and ships using it. This cause coal demands to skyrocket. The coal demands are now fulfilled in many coal mines, with the most prominent mine being the "Airship's Inventor Mine" in Del-Kasha, named because it was the site where the inventor of the airship searched for the materials to build it, now mined after someone found a rich coal deposit there

130 AFZ: The same scientist soon started to research the possiblity of making a vaccine to prevent Zoltonitis. Meanwhile, the microscope is invented, and soon it's used, causing the discovery of cells, bacteria, among other microscopic things. At a library, an explosion happens, but the fire was luckily put down without significant damages. It turns out in the research room, mixtures that formed gunpowder caused the explosion. This discovery inspires scientists to research for a potential to weaponize the gunpowder. Meanwhile, another exploration is sended East, in hopes of finding coastal lands to expand to.

OOC: Good idea. Also, it should be James McMacDonald!

[Yatzatz]

132 AFZ: The expidition returns, having discovered Zoltan Ocean. Zoltonland estaablishes a colony on the shore, and starts building cities in between main Zoltonland and the coastal colony, Portonia.

[Unnamedland]

I will be adding inter-universe references. For example, people doing similar things will often have similar names. See if you can find them...

1816: James McMacDonald's backers reveal that they are actually the delegates of the 18th sun, who are manipulating him to let themselves gain more power. When McMacDonald refuses to cooperate, he "disappears" and the delegates seize control of the company. They begin plotting to increase their power even more.
Meanwhile, in the Frontier Republic, a series of essays titled are published under the pseudonym of Valerian Sarr, advocating a new ideology called Commonwealthism where companies and wealth are controlled by the state and therefore the people. Sarr's ideas become popular among the second-immigration-wave working class. Some of his ideas are also spread to Jenniferia.

141 AFZ: A huge fleet of "burning ships" anchors in Zoltonland. (They are actually steam powered, but the Zoltonlanders don't understand that.) They say they are from the Nairefinnej Empire and demand to build a trading post in Zoltonland. The Zoltonlanders, still at the technology level of about 1600, agree due to not wanting to anger the empire.
OOC: Well...that was unexpected...
