Hi guys, could I sign up with a totally new country or do I have to choose Norden 'cause it's only one available?

Hey Crolacia Remember me from Survivor International?

Anyway, some people have gone inactive, so it's not just Norden. Alternitavely, pick one of the white areas from the first map here viewtopic.php?f=31&t=204197 , and Nova might let you in.

Why yes, yes I do

Okay, thank you very much.

well this particular RP is in its 3rd chapter and is made up of very experienced RPers im sure everyone will agree. Perhaps go for a new, simpler RP such as an island take-over one to start off with.

Nation Name: Tsardom of Fortograd
Capital City: Astrakhan
Nation Leader: Tsar Cyril I Rovachov-Uble-Hublevitch
Form of Rule: Constitutional Monarchy
Population: 90 million+
Military Population (no more than 5% in times of peace. Percentage will effect economy): 4.5 million regulars (plus a large reserve).
Basic History of Nation: Since 1829 the Empire of Fortograd has once more emerged a leading power in the world. A vast Eurasian state made up of many peoples and religions it has come a long way since the reign of the restored Tsardom under Tsar Nikolai III Rovachov the Restorer (r.1828-1847).Under his reign the Empire quickly expanded. With Moscow firmly restored thanks to his negotiations with Anhk-Durnik and entry into the CEA. As well under him we’d achieved our first colony the Viceroyalty of Patagonia in South America a further boast to the monarchy.

Applauded by all his far reaching polices have led to the beginnings of socialized medicine in the empire a rebuilt road system and the introduction of educational/social reforms. Upon his death in 1847 after nineteen years on the throne at the age of 69 his son Dmitry V (r.1847-1849) followed him onto the throne. Like his father he was interested in Imperial and colonial expansion however he was staunchly anti-reform and soon attempted to abolish the Imperial Council and instead replace it with a diet of his own cronies.

This however was stopped by the ill-fated Summer Movement when in 1848 a group of liberal officers attempted to overthrow the Tsar and replace him with his nephew the liberal Grand Duke Nikolai Rovachov. The coup was a brief one which ended with the Golden Guard defeating the uprising and the death of the conspirators save the grand Duke whom was exiled to the colonies. However soon after the unpopular Tsar was murdered by a bomb during a military parade along with his heir and only son Tsarevitch Grigori.

Their deaths sparked a burning question of succession and soon the exiled Grand Duke swooped in as he was recalled by the ‘Iron Baron’ Prime Minister Baron Conrad von Uble-Hublevitch whom had held the position since 1829. The Grand Duke was soon married to the Barons granddaughter Victoria whom would dominate her husband’s reign as the chief proponent for her father’s policies until his death in office in 1851. With the Barons death his successors proved mere shadows of his glory. Nikolai IV meanwhile appointed numerous liberals to the ranks of his cabinet. As well he as a naval enthusiast attempted to become the new naval superpower despite Fortograds landlocked borders save the Black Sea port of Rostov-na-Donau.

The Tsar frivolously commissioned ship after ship creating a rather large naval force which drained the defense budget. On the brink of bankruptcy the unthinkable, the Tsar died supposedly of tuberculosis. With his death and his four children all underage his wife Tsarina Victoria rules not as Regent but Tsar with the backing of her lover the head of the army War Minister Field Marshal Vladimir Semenov. Under her the Empire trimmed the fat starting with the navy.

Victoria I the Great (r.1851-1876) was she would become known was a cultured woman’s who focused on maintaining a very militarist state and was herself known to have a uniform. She supported further expeditions into eastern Russia by the Empire and was able to subjugate numerous tribes. Victoria also formally changed the Imperial name after selecting suitable brides from amongst her family the House of Uble-Hublevitch for Rovachov Princes, to Rovachov-Uble-Hublevitch.

She also was renowned for her lovers of which she had many after her husband’s death. They included Marshal Semenov whom was followed by Prince Igor Lepyev her Foreign and Colonial Minister whom helped in the grand expansion of Fortograds South American possessions. She even was rumored to have held carnal relations with her half-brother Prince Frederick von Uble-Hublevitch the man whom was appointed lucrative post of Head of the Assembly of Houses (A gathering of the heads of the nation’s noble families). Another rumor includes her in the arms of the Uzbek Emir Hamid al-Qaesh the head of her Turkic bodyguards.
Under however the Empire prospered and the economy flourished. She would also be known for her cultural achievements especially at the Imperial capital which she commissioned seven new palaces the so called Temple of Apollo Museum to House Fortogradian archeological finds based on the Parthenon of ancient Greece. Asides this she built St. Helena Basilica and the stunning Zolotoy dom Palace or Golden House styled on Versailles.

By the end of her reign the nation had an enormous army and navy, a filled treasury and some of the finest cultural achievements in Europe. When she did die in 1876 the crown swiftly passed to her son the ultra-conservative Tsar Nikolai V (r.1876-1878) whom was a paranoid despot. His condition never stabilised and while he and his megalomania was confined to the Zolotoy dom Palace were he played soldier his studious brother Cyril ruled as Regent. Eventually it was decided the crown would be forfeited to Cyril whom kept the empire on a stable course despite its ruler’s insanity.
Nikolai soon retired to a palace on the Caspian Sea and the liberal and scholarly Cyril I was crowned Tsar and Autocrat. Cyril himself has since followed his mother’s course however he is an imperialist minded individual whom hopes to further increase Fortograds ever rising prestige in the world.

Basic Summery of Current Situation: Empire is in a time of utter prosperity. The people are content and the empire now holds stretches over Eurasia and South America. As well the new Tsar is beloved by all.

Basic Plans for RP: Expand colonially in South America. As well investigate the possibility to purchase colonies in Africa or establish new ones in India. The Tsardom of Fortograd remains ever loyal to the CEA and its old ally Anhk-Durnik.

The JAL offers the virtue and support of your fellow countries. See for yourself the prosperity that has so enriched the Chinese, Japanese and Australian Empires.

The CEA, on the other hand, offers fear and whispered threats. Think, O mighty Sultan, what will happen if they decide that they need your lands to "protect themselves"? Look to Gibraltar, my friend, for the answer.

Propoganda!!! Dont you see that its basicly rich colonial world (west) vs the poorer, rural world (east). Which would u rather be part of?? Also if espaniata was part of the CEA we would have had no war as the area was already under trusted allies but it was as good as white land and the gates were open. They are closed now . Oh yes you are actually far closer to us aswell UFW. and we have trade and land agreements in place already. JAL cares for Asia and Asia only. They help themselves to every other continent yet if a foot is set on Asia all hell breaks loose.

Actually the first blimp appeared in 1895 and ballons have been around even longer. Because we are all so technologically advanced I think 15 years earlier isn't to bad but I will fix it anyway

Real propaganda. I am proof that the JAL cares for it's own. If I had joined the CEA I would be bickering with the others. You may be rich but you are falling into the same pitfall as other nations such as the US and England. Who makes everything for them China and the Asian nations. Australia provides raw resources for Asia. You see in 5-20 years Asia will be richer than the US and England
