Brief Description of your nation's History:

The Skrael Coast was founded due to the exploration of various Norse explorers in the New World. Their attempts to establish settlements were unsuccessful until the city of Nye Hjem was founded. It's defensible, central(In the Americas.) position allowed it to rapidly become a center of trade. After it's success, many merchants and trappers started settlements from Vinland south to Nye Hjem. Until very recently the Skrael Coast was simply a loose organization of trading communities and outposts, but the establishment of a mercantile system led to the declaration of one nation. This became the Skrael Coast.

Many of the people who lived in the early, failed settlements of the Skrael Coast moved on to form the nation of Rohnst. These settlements were rebuilt from the ground up by the Skraelen merchants who transformed the damaged towns into trading outposts and trapping stations.

Brief Description of your nation's economy:

The economy of the Skrael Coast is very much trade oriented. Other than it's status as a trade power, the Skrael Coast is also known for it's fishing and trapping industries. It has one of the most stable economies in the Americas.

Brief Description of your nation's government:

The Skrael Coast is a Merchant Republic. An elected leader, known as a Konsul is chosen by the upper class to handle the economic and political affairs of the realm. This leader has the power to declare war and appoint military leaders. Other than His power, there is also a parliament of thirty randomly selected merchants, who have even greater power when exercised unanimously.

Brief Description of your nation's populace:

The Nation's populace is primarily Native American due to the rather recent creation of the nation. Despite this, the government is entirely ran by Scandinavians. This hasn't caused much of a political issue yet, but there still lies the sleeping issue of ethnicity.

Most of the population have jobs as farmers or fishermen, with craftsmen, merchants and trappers making up the rest of the primary jobs.

Not a colony. Vinland was a real place in the 1000's. Anyways, it's not like I'm saying that I'm a nation the size of Russia with the population of China established inhabited by 100% Hungarians. No. The nation is primarily Native American, and based off of a genuine historical colony. I'm not affiliated with a European power, anyways.

@Parhe

Wait, just to clarify: your earlier post was confirmation of my acceptance right?

Yes.


Um Nepal, I was told you skipped ahead several months. Could we possibly slow it down a bit I was asked. Or let everyone know they can expect months to pass at a time or such.

I thought 1 year was 1 page...

Yes! More American nations.

You should knock your pop growth down a bit. Also, you're allowed to grab another Focus and an Idea from the 16th century list.

You might want to sync your history with Transoxthraxia, since he's Rohnst.

Guise. We can't call America America.

[Horusland]

Well, that's one of the reasons I decide to quit.
This RP is not organized well, and it's just too annoying.

Could have been worse. We could have lost someone productive or important.

Like the players of the RP? No, of course they're not important! They're just a bunch of people you don't care about! Who cares about them, right?

But who does care about anyone but him/herself these days? It's hard to find people that actually do.

[Priory Academy USSR]

And Brandenburg: You're a dick

I'm just doing what's best for my country.




That being said, y'all need to slow down: to avoid pretty much exactly what it happening (namely, the Danes interfering), the pirates would not have chosen to attack close to Danish lands. The intercept location would probably be in the narrow portion between Malmo and Sassnitz. If that failed, the closest they would dare to go would be twenty miles out of the Oresund/Copenhagen, which is still way out of LOS.

Furthermore, if the Danes did intervene, the pirates would just high tail it out of there. They're not going to agree to search and seizure by the Danes, that's for sure.

Edit:

It also means that the pirates won't be firing on the city, if anyone is wondering.

OK, I'll be brutally honest with you.

Apparently, the RPer of the German Empire wants me to stop your expedition from reaching the new world, for as of yet unexplained reasons: I agreed, given that having a relative superpower on my side would be useful. The whole 'stop the pirates' thing was simply a ploy to get your expeditionary ships into my port, where the Germans could presumably sabotage your operation, or sink them when they left harbour again.

You only complained about the map and the organization. If we lost anyone else I would be inclined to convince him or her to stay. Unlike you they do matter; I advise you don't get hurt just because you are the last pick so to say.

Anyway you quit on your own accord so why are you still here?

Well, Brandenburg did shoot down its only possibly ally really willing to side against others for it when the nation sent pirates against Prussia. Particularly since Finland seems to be more friendly with everyone, the German Empire wants to unite the Germans, and Muscovy-he is temporary gone so I am keeping his nation to answer issues, has been trying to align with Germanu, with whom he shares exclusive trade rights in my nation, and Prussia, its neighbor.

[Parhe]

I thought so too but people have been asking about it and makingbsuggestions so I was not sure if it still was. Though I still prefer, if we must have a set correlation, it is by RL day representing a set number of months or such to prevent flooding and give everyone a chance to post.

May I declare the arrival at the New World yet? My sailors kind of got there by the chance and I'll make sure I don't choose a very favorable place with many resources for their arrival.

Btw I'm posting a letter to an alliance. Anyone interested?
I'll answer your invite Hungary.

Unfairness in unfairness. Point blank the end.
You've ignored me for about 30 pages, when I was trying to help.
So, if I'm the only one you're doing this to, then that's plain stupid.

[Parhe]

You offered the map and I never said you could not. But you never did work on the map when you commented about it being out of date.


It is obvious that you plan on staying despite your earlier words so I suppose we should mend the past. I spoke with Aye and I am sorry if I was rude, well I was rude, so please forgive me. Many people here would know how often I offer an apology in all seriousness.

People often say that I'm rude. So I should be the one to apologize.
But seriously, the map needs better organization. I can't update the map because I can't even keep up with the OOC. Sorry. And also, my average post is about 5-10 lines long. And everyone else's posts are much longer. That's why I wanted to help in some other way.
Never mind. Sorry about that.

Due to the veritable dead-zone of NPC's in Greece, I'll switch to the Frisian NPC, and DM Athens from a distance when necessary. Will get an app up in a bit.

EDIT: I'll keep the nation established by its previous owner the same as in his app; and have it go through a bout of Civil War ICly, and get a revised application up at the end of the war.
