1180 Medieval RP [Signup, OOC]

[Alleniana]

I'm not going to bother with fancy pictures and glorious-ish sounding text that most rps try to lure you in with. Partly because I think they're a waste of time, partly because I don't take much notice of them, and partly because I'm terrible at making them. So this stands in for that, and start reading the useful stuff below.

RULES:
1. Follow all native NS rules
2. Do not godmod
3. Listen to me or any co-ops I may have
4. Use proper grammar and spelling
5. A post has a minimum length of 50 words. Absolute bare minimum, but you are discouraged from skimming it with 51 words a an average word length of 3. Please have a fair amount of text.
6. Use your common sense, which should also be used to work out the rest of the rules. Rules are boring to read, so as long as you get the idea, great.
If you break rules repeatedly, I will remove you.

APP:

EXPLANATION OF APP:
Nation- What you are apping for (Hungary, Venice, Aragon, etc.)
Population- Self expanatory (number, dammit)
Military- Short description including navy and numbers (infantry based maybe, or good at guerilla, etc.)
Economy- Short description including trade, produce, etc. (imports, exports, strenght, etc.)
Tech- What sort of technology you have and are capable of getting (not a number, please compare to others, provide examples)

OTHER INFO:
Each page is a season, so each post is around 5 days. This must be reflected in troop movements, letters' receiving times, etc.
I will probably not have any co-ops, so don't ask. I will only do so if forced to by special circumstances.
I am god.
You are only allowed to choose nations on the map.
Be historically accurate, being aware of mindsets, religions and such. The Germans will be wracked by disunity, the Pope won't convert to Islam, etc.
I will RP all NPCs' actions in a large post occasionally, and will actively RP all NPC's who are being warred on.
You must check the OOC once in a while.

[Alleniana]

Almohads reserved, Sicily accepted, Byzantine accepted, assuming you mean 7,500,000.

Thanks, and yes I did.

Reserve HRE (Germany)!

[Valentir]

I reserve Novgorod if no one minds

Germany & Novgorod reserved. You can't play as the whole HRE, only the Kingdom of Germany. You won't control Burgundy, Italy or Bohemia.
My app for the Angevin Empire:

Tech: Reasonable. Windmills, horse-drawn ploughs, longbows, the whole lot. Not advanced, but not lagging either.
