Is This The World We Created? (AWRP OOC/Signups/Closed)

[Katyuscha]

Economy, Happiness, Military/Tech, that kind of stuff.

Oh, me too, doing quite well for myself, if only I didn't have to be a melting pot in Europe I could probably dominate the region, but alas, I'll eventually just blow up in a horrific and bloody war most likely ravaging from central Europe to the Levant, if I get my way.

Lol.

The only internal conflict I can see happening in my nation is from the Armenians and Azerbaijanis, but I don't see that happening any time in the forseeable future.

As for your conflict, what type of conflict would be brought to the Levant from your collapse?

Oh, well, lets just say if the Empire takes Turkey as is its goal, the old Levant wouldn't be to far away now would it? Besides, this wont affect you, possibly, I mean the commonly thought of Levant, so excluding the Sinai peninsula and Iraq.

I see. Well, I can't wait to see how this RP turns out.

I have a good feeling about this one. I can feel it in my loins.

Well if the great stirring of the loins has occurred it must be true, well that or your just a little too excited.

In all seriousness though, the map is filled up nicely, there are still applications coming in, and we've got a great OP and two great CO-OP's, so with any luck this will progress nicely into a full RP, and not die halfway through.

Yeah.

I've noticed that successful AWRPs are sort of like the alchemeic formula to creating gold.

[Ceannairceach]

Yeah, you know what? I needs allies too. Anyone in Europe or America feeling Francophilic?

The Hospitallers were largely French.

Hint. Hint.

How about a non-aggression pact with Persia?

That'd be pretty cool.

Yyyeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh........... About that.

How about a fuck Persia alliance with the Levant? I grab the left oil, you grab the right and center, and we all go away happy!

I will be gone for most of tomorrow, so in the short time I will be unavailable, I entrust Cean with the responsibility of not fucking up. Good night.

Sucks to be you, because I'm working almost all day. Thus, I entrust Nightkill not to fuck up in my absence.

Lord help you all.

As to all this oil nonsense, while I can still comment on it, oil isn't important yet. It won't be for a short while. But, I'd like to note that Syria has oil deposits and is also 60% oil shale. The techs not there yet to get it, but when it is, oh boy, energy independence here I come!

[Vortiaganica]

On the scale of sensible hings to do, this is down there with trusting me to start an IC thread before half the people who signed up on OOC CTE.

Bring it, broski.

[Chemaki]

Mind if I cheekily reserve this area (Germany, Poland, and Czechslovakia?) I've got a half-written application for it but I need to go for a couple of hours, and this RP is moving fast.

Short History of your Nation: Since the Late 1400's, Switzerland was an independent entity. Albeit, it was usually a weak one. Surrounded on four sides for most of history by super powers, France, Italy, Germany, and Austria, its land was ravaged as the factions waged their wars on neutral soil. Swiss culture has been heavily influenced by this, mostly by the French, and is also the largest Ethnicity group. As population in Switzerland continues to rise, the need for space, and more importantly, farmland, will soon be a problem on the horizon, if not dealt with soon. This tiny, land-locked nation, must now battle the super-powers around it, whether it wants to or not. The Swiss have a choice: Fight, or die.
Short Description of your nation: Switzerland is a small, mountainous nation, whose population will soon be too much for it to handle. At its continued rate, within a couple of years, food shortages and famine will tear the Kingdom apart.
RP example (For nations exceeding 100 million people):

Lack of space and food shortages still a problem destined in the near future.

Um...the German Empire is reserved for me by Arumdaum. I will ask him and if he is not interested you can have it.

[Parhe]

Map is here.

My personal suggestions would be A Peru-Bolivia nation, or just half of what is left of South America, Sweden, Indochina, Indonesia, or both what is left of Indochina and Indonesia together, Australia, perhaps with Indonesia or parts of the south pacific, Ethiopia, South India, a Rajasthan/Gujarat based nation, Central Europe(though that seems a bit unstable), another around Uttar Pradesh, and i guess something else in Africa besides Ethiopia. I would give more examples but I do not know much about African history.

[Heirosoloa]

Map seems great. Only not I have is that the two nations in southern Africa are, at first, glance, the same color.
Obviously upon further inspection the differences emerge, but it's still an easily made mistake.

Also, if Ceann and Gar are going to be AFK, should I TG my app to Nightkill?

Edit:

Also jesusfack, reading the last ten pages took a while.


As for alliances/trade:

I'll probably be buying my oil from Quebec/America, my Catholic bros, over any crazed Muslim theocracy. That or the Levant.

I'd be willing to do a Franco-Spanish alliance. Let me re-look over your app and see. Will update this in a sec.
Nope, jk. We'll be sponsoring rebellions and anti-atheism legislation in your nation.

Jin, if that's you on New Guinea, we need to work our how frosty our relations are, because it affects my trade with Australia. I'd be willing to be friends :>
Yes! Just read your app, and we'd be willing to support Christians in China. We'd be willing to overlook your little monarchy, because we can't expect non-Europeans to be as civilized.

Southern-Chinese-man, we need to work out when you got the Philippines, and if you got them from us. Because it seems everyone has stolen my IRL colonies in their histories >>

Speaking of which, I need to work out my history with Portugal. If you settled in Northern South America (i.e. IRL Colombia, Venezuela, Panama, Ecuador, maybe the Guyanas), shall I take the rest of South America (I would hesitate to call them primitive, by the way. The Incans were the opposite of primitive) as well as Mexico?

México has like 90% of all oil deposits where any extraction can be possible with 20s technology.

If anyone wants any oil, they will have to beg and be Mexico's bitch

[Dolmhold]

IRL, had Mr. Koxinga not died, his target after taking Taiwan from the Dutch to use as a base of which to support the renaments of the Ming would've been the Philipines. Was the Philipines under your control around the 1600s?

Spanish Philippines, since 1565.

We'd be willing to make a deal.
If we can get over the whole rebellion thing.

[Dolmhold]

Spanish Philippines, since 1565.

Ah... I suppose we took it from you (Don't worry, it was the Dutch's height of power and they still got Taiwan take from them by some silly little pirate loyal to the Ming... a man that already lost 90%+ of their own fleet from Dutch fire ships...

I'd have to edit my demographics a bit I suppose...

Yeah, we're not going to be friends, then.

Sorry.

I have some oil, but I was thinking of a joint-exploitation for the Texan oil fields, which we can leverage later on for the Gulf of Mexico oil fields.

[Dolmhold]

Sorry.

But but... It was two hundred years ago!

Ah, it doesn't really matter. RPing conflict should be fun

I've had then convert back to Islam (or traditional Chinese religions) though... I hope you don't mind religion too much....

[Heirosoloa]

Eh. That won't bother us too much, except if we need to whip up the population in a frenzy. We'll just be sad they're all in Hell now.

Mind if I keep some missionaries in there?

As long as Mexican Maquiladoras have hegemony in American Markets, Mexico will do anything for America.

I wouldn't say you have absolute dominance, but you certainly wield a lot of influence in American product markets. We can work out some sort of trade deal IC---joint oil field exploitation in exchange for favorable trade terms.

Meh, you can't blame me for trying.

Exactly what I was thinking. You get joint-ownership of some Texas oil wells, and raise some tariffs for European Goods...While lowering tariffs for Mexican goods, and we can make some railways, so I can get better access to American raw materials...
