Ohmygod. Definitely the first one, now that I think about it. A Victorian-Era Communist America, of course it's going to have a massive gear and a red background. Neo, you and your flags.

I do make the good flaggifications. That's a particular favorite of mine to use in Supremacy 1914 games.

A papal-controlled Italy? Sure, that's fine. But expect high levels of aggression from the U.S.S.A, as you would become the perfect symbol of the Religious Bourgeoisie-controlled greed-machine that must be crushed in order for the people and workers of the world to unite under a common banner.



Well because of the fall of England and Afghanistan's stalwart anti-imperialism against European colonization, the Age of Imperialism could have easily been delayed a few decades. Moving it up to 1910 allows us to enjoy the technology, and also get the Victorian feel, and Imperialism! Also, the OOC will be coming up very soon. Probably gonna try and get it up before I log off for the night.

And it would be nice if I could search for Communist U.S.A. flags without every other result being "OBAMAS A SOCIALIST RARARA".

Oooh, do you have suggestions for an English/Swedish union? My current plan was the Swedish flag, but that seems rather...simplistic.

[Kamchatkalia]

I'd have to ask Gar if I could do that, so Gar can I? It would be FUN I would write up a history on how I got it if that's okay.

Good, I plan on hinding behind Catholic Spain, France, and other Catholic Powers until I can be build a sufficient powerbase. the Ottomans will hate me, but it would be interesting to call a crusade against them.

Poll says Late Victorian, I'm all in favor of starting in 1870. I think it's time we came to an agreement.

I'd agree with the time, I know it sounds greedy, but do you mind post-poning until tomorrow morning? I'll have access to my regular computer with less 4 year old babysitting. At least reserve the land...

Now sigged and enjoying.

Will do, tomorrow. I'm bushed.

EDIT: Here's one for now, if you'd prefer a Swedish-Scottish union.

It seems that the Ottoman Empire is the largest nation we've got, so far. That is, until Lolzier stakes his claim.

I'm in BOTH your sigged quotes. I'm on a roll!

And I may end up waiting 'till tomorrow, seems that a lot of people have signed off.

[Lolzieristan]

This Russia won't be "Imperialist Awesome Dibs on The Top-Right Quarter of the Planet Lolololol" like real world Russia. I'm going to stretch the fabric of reality, and rack my brain to make Russia *less* awesome.

I know, folks, I know, how could anyone ever pull that one off?
I'll do my best.

[Constaniana]

Out of curiosity, has Australia been claimed yet? If not, Nova Britannia will colonise it, at least partially. Any objections?

Well, here is a map, you should colour in the area you want.

According to the map I'm looking at, it has.

Take the Stalin Officer Purge, backwardness of the mid/late 1800's, and the rule of Nicholas II, throw it all into a blender, and hit puree.

[Costa Fiero]

Is yours the illegitimate son of the brother of the war hero who created the state in the first place?

No, but he's the descendant of two, and possibly three royal bloodlines. Nbd, though.

Swedish Empire, Kingdom of Norway, and claim to the English throne through an illegitimate son of Charles II.

Interesting.

If we're starting in 1910, that means the king I have proposed is dead and one of his three sons is on the throne. However, the current king, Benjamín Bolívar Gautier, is the only legitimate son of the former king who died in 1898.

Perhaps...I'm interested in depicting a Russia in which the Communists never overthrew the Democratic provisional government in 1917, and then had trouble coming to terms with the concept of limited government given Russia's almost entirely autocratic heritage. Except the details, which will change. I'm somewhat waiting to see how others in my region, like Poland and the Afghan Empire, shape their history. I want things to go against Russia. Maybe no Peter the Great, no Catherine the Great, a series of rougher-than-history wars against the Ottomans/Polish/Afghans/Swedes, etc. etc...

Oh, I'm changing quite a bit for the Afghan Emirate. Quite a bit, indeed.

That would be ironic. A democratic government comes into power in Russia, and militant Socialists overthrow the state governments of the Northeast and establish a Communist state

If you want to have invaded me at any point in our shared history, just TG me when, and I'll cooperate with you on it.


EDIT: Are you on the map yet? I'm assuming you're the purple. Is the brown-gold an Ottoman type empire?

[Saragrossa]

Alright heres my claims;

http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/6122/hospitaller.png Anyway I know its rough

GARWALL Lets make a formal OOC. I think we are solid about the premise no?

Do you mind butting out of Southern Sardinia? On a side note whoever's France can you give me Northern Sardinia? I'm playing as Italy (and Switzerland since NO ONE plays it) and I'd perfer to have ethnic Culturally Italian land

EDIT: Now that I think about it, I think we should partition switzerland between France, the Germany above Swiss, and me to give ethnic Italian lands to Italy, and ethnic French lands to France, and ethnic Germanic lands to the Germany.

Italy with Switzerland is an Italy with a massive Germanic tumor on its head.

Also, that will give you a point of friction that will give you something to do in the IC.

You also know that their are Italian speaking parts to the South, with French speaking parts to the West, and the rest is Germanic, but their all or if not most Catholic so I could unite it with religion...Still one of the Germanies is going get mad.

Switzerland is considered one of the three major German nations, alongside Germany and Austria. It's predominantly a Germanic culture.

[The Nuclear Fist]

The Green Germany on the map should just go ahead and take the Benelux countries so that we have Western Europe filled.

Predominant. Though their are some Italian cultural lands to the very south, either way it gives me a much-needed stuff to do on the IC.
