Its not like he sent the message secretly or anything at least I though it was like an open invitation. Anyways...a gathering of the most powerful nations in Europe...words gonna get out sooner or later I just made it sooner so that yes, I would have an a way to get involved in things going on in Europe. Not much else to post about yet. Though if he has a problem with me knowing about it yet ill take it down and wait.

But the word was sent in what amounts to a short time ago. Barely any of the invitees have responded. There is no reason for Portugal to have an inkling of the meeting. If it was in the organization stage, sure, but its barely in the planning at the moment. Not to mention, nothing in your post tells us how you got a hold of it. It just screams meta.

Most IC communications in RPs ARE metagaming a way of inserting stuff discussed OOCly into the IC thread...if im not mistaken the entire meeting was set up OOCly to begin with. If I waited much longer there would be another thread up for the meeting itself and I would have missed an opportunity to create a little bit of commotion and a posting point ICly before the actual meeting. But like I said its up to New Babylonia or I guess an OP if its that big of a deal. I ddin't think it was obviously.

Edit: I guess you are an OP lol. So are you telling me to take it down or what?

Switzerland invited the nations listed. No more, no less. Your knowledge of the meeting is definitely metagaming, and furthermore, I don't know why you'd want to go to a meeting of an alliance that you aren't in nor have planned OOCly to be in... unless you're aiming to join us, which I would definitely be ok with.

I don't like it because it had absolutely no reason for existing. If you had intercepted the message--impossible considering that you are out of the way of any recipients--or had a spy network inform you--with the permission of the spied upon, of course--then I wouldn't have a problem. But you had no background information as to how you got the info.

Usually, accusing someone of "hatching a nefarious scheme" and calling their friends "barbarians" is not how one endears oneself to them. It's not like we haven't been talking for days about it in the OOC... you should have said something.

Short History of your Nation:

After the Buddha's death in 542 B.C, the first Buddhist practitioners came to council to codify the Buddha's teachings, and to immunize them from any human corruption. Sponsored by the king of Magadha, the monks came to meet in the city of Rajgir. After hours of debating, the various Arahants (enlightened ones) came to the conclusion that the Buddha's laws were to be followed strictly by all Buddhist practitioners.

As Buddhism organized into a formal sect, the religion quickly gained fame amongst the people of Magadha and acknowledgement from the king, who in 511 B.C. declared Buddhism to be Magadha's official religion. As the religion spread throughout India along with the Kingdom of Magadha, it gained a foothold in local culture, transforming from an obscure sect into universal common knowledge. Asoka's conversion to Buddhism after his conquest of India only served to heighten the spread of the religion, eventually overpowing old Hindu beliefs and becoming firmly rooted in India's culture.

This deep-rooted faith helped play an influential role in halting the expansion of the Sunga Empire, who were deeply opposed to India's new Buddhism-based culture. The Sunga were repelled and eventually collapsed in 43 B.C, leaving northern India a mix of religious 'temple-states', with local religious authorities taking over domestic rule. The Yuezhi invasion in 12 B.C. united these states (along with last tracts of Tibet and Western China) into the Kushan Empire, which kept dominance over the country until its collapse in the 10th century A.D, after Western China was conquered by the Tang Dynasty.

The only suitable nation to fill this huge power vaccum was the growing Tibetan Empire, which recently adopted the Buddhist creed. After overthrowing his brother and claiming the throne of the Empire himself, Thrikhyiding sought to unite the many small Buddhist temple-states under the new Tibetan flag, proclaiming the Tibetan Empire to be a political unification of the Buddhist religion. With growing Islamic influence in the West, and the threat of a Mongol invasion to the North, the temple-states quickly capitulated. Tibet now controlled most of the Himalayas and spread almost all the way to the Hindu Kush.

However, the breadbasket of the Empire, around the Bengal Delta, was under threat. After almost a decade of crippling floods between 1512 and 1520, the Tibetan Empire was left hamstrung. Fearing a rebellion, the current Emperor, Dorje, planned for the gradual overhaul and replacement of the current Buddhist culture. Historically the Tibetan Imperial family and the army were removed from the Buddhist religion, creating a parallel between the 'docile' peasantry and local monk councils and the uninhibited military commanders and royals who created friction between the monks with their lack of belief. Dorje sought a future where Church and State could be interwoven, and upon word of these successful attempts amongst European powers, he looked West to revolutionize his fractured nation.

After ordering, bribing and threatening the Tibetan Arahants (enlightened monks) into redrafting the Buddhist Dharma, without calling a Council to discuss the changes, Dorje sent messengers to all of the major temples to proselytise the local monks into adopting this new 'Militant Buddhism' which encouraged and required the citizenry to act for the good of the nation rather than their own moral good, and advocated warfare against other Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. When an overwhelming majority of the temples rejected the amendment to the Dharma outright, the Emperor instead sought to win over the populace directly, portraying the monks as an aristocracy, a greedy middle-man between the people and their Emperor. In response, the monks held their own council, and many temple-states agreed to relax taxes in an attempt to placate the peasantry. This enraged Dorje, who lost a large portion of his payment from the monks, and in response he used his authority as Emperor to replace most of the monk councils with appointed governers. When the monks didn't capitulate, Dorje mounted a military campaign to supress the temple-states, forcefully evicting religious leaders of major Buddhist sects and taking them captive. Many temple-complexes were then sacked, and the wealth redistributed amongst the citizenry to win support for the new government.

After years in captivity in the Labrang Prison Complex, Dorje (in a fit of paranoia) eventually deemed the elder monks and sect leaders too dangerous to live, and ordered their secret execution. The monks, numbering more than 10,000, were massacred by Tibetan soldiers after their daily prayer, and the corpses buried in mass graves in the side of the mountain where the prison was situated. Meanwhile, new monestaries were formed and supported by the government, raising a generation of monks who were unquestionably loyal to the new Dharma and the Emperor. By the time of Dorje's death, the old Buddhist faith was corrupted beyond recognition; monks answered only to the Imperial family, instead of local advisors and spiritual leaders they became governers and soldiers, and Buddhism was used to justify the expansionist Tibetan political ideology to the point where it became engrained in Tibetan culture.

This made it even easier for Tibet to mount military campaigns against the Thai, who controlled the farmland and temple-cities of Burma. When the Bengal Delta flooded again in 1576, claiming the lives of almost 200,000 people and destroying the important city of Tamralipta, the Emperor responded by organizing a military campaign to provide relief to the area, before moving on southwards to occupy the Burmese temple-city of Arakan. After forcing the local garrison into surrender, the Tibetan army moved on to Bagan, and the South. Whilst Bagan was under siege, splinter forces moved in to pillage the Burmese farmland, the loot from which was used to replenish food stores across Eastern Tibet. Without any food, and any Thai reserve forces repelled by the Tibetan invaders, Bagan surrendered, and Burma became a Tibetan vassal.

This change drastically changed the course of South East Asian history. No longer the dominant power in the area, Thailand sought a closer alliance to the Chinese states, whilst building up and modernizing its forces in a bid to invade and reclaim Burma. Meanwhile, the Tibetans formed new trade routes throughout South East Asia whereby they could trade with the Ming Dynasty, now at the height of its power, and the Roman Empire. In return for raw materials, mostly crops and ores, the Tibetans recieved firearms and schematics, which formed the basis for the Tibetan Model Army, the first standardized army in South Asia. Military and domestic advisors alike sought to streamline Tibet's industry to allow for the mass production of firearms and sailing ships - By 1615, the cities of Calcutta, Chittagong and Rajapura were major trade and military ports, and Tibet was the dominant naval power in the Bay of Bengal. The introduction of handheld firearms amongst the military proved to be a turning point in the string of Tibetan-Thai wars, and despite Tibetan garrisons being often outnumbered by Thai forces, the army won a string of victories in South East Asia, cementing their foothold in Burma.

Currently, the Tibetan Empire is an extremely nationalist state, with the entire culture focused on the strength and unity of the Tibetan nation. To this end, Tibet has managed to organize and modernize itself without much support from the West, and has attempted over recent years to come to equal terms with European powers over issues such as trade rights. Tibet currently boasts one of the largest and most modern militaries in Southern Asia, with exotic tactics (including the use of rocketry and mass infantry charges) unseen elsewhere in the world. Some of the largest cities in the world are based in Tibet, where industry is heavily focused and people are crowded into small planned homes and workshops, and the military police and secret police keep order through their combat expertise and weight of numbers.
Short Description of your nation: An extremely nationalist state, which is quickly modernizing but is still struggling to liberalize whilst still keeping various cultural, social and religious groups unified under the Tibetan banner.
RP example (For nations exceeding 100 million people): Here's one of my best, from a while back...

General population's view on gay rights/gay people: Deeply frowned upon, but since it does not conflict directly with the Buddhist Dharma, prejudice against homosexuals or pansexuals isn't as extreme as in many other nations.
General population's view on religions other than the primary one: Extreme intolerance - Religion is an integral part of Tibetan life, and the Tibetan Buddhist community is the basis of the Tibetan state. Other Buddhists aren't wholly rejected, but are discriminated against and looked down upon for their beliefs, which conflict with Tibetan nationalism.
General population's view on atheism: Widely accepted. Tibetan Buddhism focuses more on Dharma (service/responsibility) rather than spiritual beliefs, and thus a lot of the population, even Tibetan Buddhists, are not necessarily theists.
General population's view on abortion: Abortion is extremely rare, and as cases soon propagated amongst wealthier families it was illegalized by the government. Abortion is seen as a hindrance to the growth of the Tibetan nation.
View on other races/ethnic groups other than the primary one(s): They are seen as a potential barrier to national unity, but views on various ethnic groups vary widely - Some are accepted and integrated into Tibetan society, and others are outcasts.
Status of religion in politics: Religion is the Emperor's main social and political tool. Tibetan Buddhism itself is a fusion of traditional Buddhism and nationalism.
Any big prejudices in your nation (widespread discrimination against a particular group, linguistic conflict, etc): Many white Europeans, East Asians and Bengalis are seen as threats to the Tibetan state, and there is extreme caution in politics and common society alike when dealing with these groups.
View on immigration into country: Is usually seen as beneficial to the Tibetan state, but naturally certain groups are discriminated against.
View on emigration out of country: Viewed as an act of treason (unless authorized by the government) and abhorred.
Women's Rights: Somewhat equal to men's rights (women are allowed to join the military or become nuns and take similar political positions as men are) though they are expected to work at home or in factories rather than as tradesmen or politicians.
Views on tobacco/alcohol/pot/other drugs: Marijuana, alcohol and tobacco are deemed as 'detrimental' to the nation's productivity and are only allowed for sale on national holidays, though personal consumption is legal. Marijuana and alcohol are two major exports, however, and are produced for shipping and sale across the world.
Top 3 exports: Rice and other foodstuffs, woven fabrics, manufactured metal goods.
Top 3 imports: Unrefined metals, tinned food, exotic foodstuffs.

Better, though I somewhat wish you hadn't posted before approval.

The only thing is that you're only allowed to make changes following January 1st, 1500. Everything before that stays the same as RL.

At work. Ill make an IC post when I get off in about an hour, lots to cover.

Tibet, mind if we have some diplomatic talks or at least neutral understanding/trade? I don't plan on expanding in India unless its absolutely dire, and I tend to treat all nations fairly when it comes to trade. If you can pay, we'll sell.

Anywho, if everyone is fine with it, i can edit the post again. I also see the 'hostility' or hidden disrespect form the eastern nations. It really conforms with my idea of the world's opinion of me. This'll be interesting.

The power of self is unlimited and ultimate, an unending wave of pure energy and being that could never be stopped, apart from time and forever ingrained into the fabrics of all being, this is the truth of Korrelian Existentialism.

⚧Copy and paste this in your sig if you passed biology and know gender and sex aren't the same thing ⚧
Pronouns? Just use whatever, it's all the same to me :P
You will always have your friends, with your friends, you will never be alone. There will always be a light. Friendship is Magic, its the magic that brings the most glimmering lights of hope to the darkest of worlds. And as long as you have it, you will never have to be afraid of the dark. - Me, New Babylonia ^^

Oh, Night---I have some British functionaries at the International Eugenics Conference if you want to do something official between America and England. No idea what, but that's there in case you decide to.

Short History of your Nation: The Cascadian Federation was founded originally by rogue Anglo-Saxon traders who stumbled upon the new land quite by accident and established a settlement on Vancouver Island some time before any European explorers “officially” made claims on the continent. When European commoners learned of the new free state growing on the west coast of the new continent (mainly English peasants), they flocked to ports and made for the new settlement of Gracemeria. After the first century of colonization by European immigrants, word had begun to spread to Asia of this new land and immigrants from the Jin and the other Chinese regions began to pour in. The settlement grew and flourished for a centuries and eventually expanded beyond the original settlement north and south along the Pacific Coast. A federal government was eventually formed to unify the towns and cities that had sprung up along the western seaboard, calling itself the Cascadian Federation.

The Federation would sadly live in peace for only a short while. The Americans had begun expanding west at an alarming rate, but this did not merit much attention to the Cascadian government, to their detriment. The American colonization of the west led them right to Cascadia's doorstep. Tensions rose quickly, mainly due to a lack of real communication between the Americans and the Cascadians. Key mountain passes were barricaded and a stale-mate ensued after the first American incursion. After several bloody attempts by both sides to take ground, a ceasefire was agreed upon. Despite the ceasefire, tensions remain high and the mountain-passes are continually patrolled and defences are maintained to the highest degree.



Short Description of your nation: Has always been a naval-focused nation with an economy reliant on the ocean’s vast natural resources as well as the resources found in the mountain ranges. The fishing and mining industries are booming, and an economically and environmentally-minded government regulates the fishing industry to a point of sustainability. A pacifist attitude has prevailed for quite some time, however the navy is well-funded and not to be trifled with.
RP example (For nations exceeding 100 million people): The most successful RP i've been in. viewtopic.php?f=5&t=211986

Culture
General population's view on gay rights/gay people: Not good, many Christians in the nation are unsettled by the idea, however a few religious leaders have begun lobbying against discrimination against gay people simply because they are human-beings and it is unbiblical to discriminate (they should have normal human rights like everyone else). The gay population is incredibly low though.
General population's view on religions other than the primary one: They are respected, but some fanatics have openly protested against them. This action has been frowned upon by church officials and discouraged.
General population's view on atheism: Atheists are sometimes discriminated against by a radical minority, however the main body of the religious population ignore them so long as they remain peaceful and unprovocative.
General population's view on abortion: Unacceptable to most people except unless the mother's life is in danger.
View on other races/ethnic groups other than the primary one(s): A declining majority are suspicious of other races and racism has been prevalent over the centuries, however the churches have led a growing movement against racism.
Status of religion in politics: Church and state are technically separate, however the majority of the politicians are Christian and many decisions are made based on Christian values.
Any big prejudices in your nation (widespread discrimination against a particular group, linguistic conflict, etc): The elimination of discrimination has been a primary focus over the past decade by both the state and the churches. Progress has been made, however Muslims are still heavily discriminated against as well as gay people. Honest effort is being put forward to stop this.
View on immigration into country: Immigration has always been essential to growth, however the increasing number of muslim immigrants trying to institute the laws and traditions of their homeland has forced the government to tighten restrictions on who is allowed in. At the moment european immigrants are favoured over middle-eastern.
View on emigration out of country (Also, how many people emigrate per year?): Emigration is not uncommon. Anywhere from 100-500 people emigrate per year, altho the emigration rate is lower than the immigration rate.

Top 3 Exports:
Metallic Minerals, chief will eventually be aluminum.
Lumber
Food

Top 3 Imports:
Oil
Industrial Products (machinery etc.)
Luxury Goods
