1800 Map!

A tip: Try to link to the map itself next time: http://i.imgur.com/B4Pvp11.png

The map is great, but it has some problems. I'll take them one by one, from the smallest problem to the largest:

1. Montenegrin NPC. See the province directly to the north? Yeah, that one province is a part of it.
2. You gave Thrace and Serbia a lot of Bulgaria, and you kept the player in Thrace colored gray.
3. The nation you colored green in most of Canada has a lot of straight borders. Fix them so that it doesn't look so fugly.
4. Aurixa is the NPC in Libya.
5. Your giant omg colonization attempts. AW HELL NAW. *slap* fix fix fix. no way ur getin all dat....

Aurixa's claims are too big, whoever it is that claimed so much in America should also cut it down. Not just you.

Horus, me conquering the Incans is the reason for most of my development. I believe it would make more sense if we let the continent have massive colonies now, and have them break into NPCs later. Eh?

What if one wants to RP a nation never affected by the colonialists? What if one wants to sign up before this 'later'? I only ask for a small part to remain unclaimed. A third-fourth.
Who are you, btw? Which nation? I can't remember, at all.

Chances are, at this stage, most people would go for North America rather than South America. And I assume that 'later' is going to be around 1850.

Also, he's the orange in South America.

Horus, I'm the orange, trying-to-be American analog in Northern South America. (I even have a factbook!)

If we are going to leave South America open, I'd suggest closer to the South near Pampas, as I've RPed conquering the Incas already.

I meant where his nation is, not the colony. Or did he start out as a native nation?

He's a rebelious colony of Arodivica. So, that is his nation. He isn't necessarily a native nation, but his nation is based in South America.

Ah, ok. Remember that his claim limit is common with Allen's, then. Same issue with you and Polaris if you decide to fund his claims.

As in? I'm not sure what the "claim limit" even is.

What I meant by that is you aren't a Native American tribal nation, but a European colony nation.

Of course I consider an American native to North America, but I'm just saying that your nation is not a Native American nation.

[Fortunagen]

I got you Neo, I'm just concerned as to what Horus is meaning by me going over a claim limit.

One for Old World homeland, one for colonization. Basically, when you start out, you are allowed to conquer some territory. then you reach your limit. you are not allowed to conquer anymore. And the claim limit gets bigger and allows for more as time passes.
The colonization limit is separate, and depends on other stuff. You can have more territory if you claim in different places, and it mostly depends on your imperial power (How can you fund the colonization of all of Brazil? Are you a rich empire like Ardo or Neo, or are you a small nation like Iceland or Montenegro? Think of how much the latter two would colonize if they were claimed.).

Revolutionary War:

The Revolutionary War against Ardovicia began in 1775, on the eve of the annual collection of taxes by the Ardovician Fleet. For generations this act had prevented development and enraged the citizens of the colony. On this fateful day, however, the citizens had had enough. A harbour had been built in the city, so that the colonists could finally build ships to send freight around the World, and the Ardovicians had set fire to it. Just a few streets away, five men sat in a tavern, drinking and thinking up visions of an independent nation, using radical ideas of republicanism and basic human rights to justify their thoughts. A general, a captain, a statesman, a professor, and an old bartender would determine the course of the nation that night. The general was one Robert Corlish, an Ardovician General in command of a mere six thousand Ardovician soldiers, which in comparison to the twenty thousand in the colony he did not control was not a mighty sum, but with his tactical genius and strong central force, he could persuade and invade his way through the majority of the Ardovician leaders in the colony. The captain was one Jack Rudolphe, a commanding and stern fellow. He had led expeditions across the World for the Empire, and it was just poor luck he'd been born a colonist. His swagger was known around the colonies, and his leadership and wisdom would be unparalleled, he had been convinced to join the movement only moments previous and by the rare chance he stumbled into a tavern that night. While Captain Rudolphe was not as devoted to the cause, there was someone who made up for it. Wesley G. Mashington was the vice-governor of the colony to an aging, apathetic governor, who had quit working for a better colony long ago and prevented Marcus from carrying on the job. He had administrative experience, and he was essential to cause. The reason he had been convinced to join was based on the teachings of Professor William Jacobson, who had been promoting the cause of independence for years. The final player in the scheme was the bartender of the fair tavern, his name lost to history, all we know is that when the events happened later that night, he was the one who put his life on the line.

The events of that night would be recorded in history, and while fast in nature, they would lay the foundation for a nation. With the harbour on fire, the General led a few of his most loyal men to ransack the armouries, giving weapons to the civilians to lead a riot against the West End of the city, which was heavily defended. Meanwhile, the captain led whatever men he could to sieze control of Ardovician ships and turn them on their masters, elimating or capturing all of the Ardovician Fleet. Meanwhile, the battle inside the city raged, as forces of the General battles forces of the citadel. Many of the top government officials, fleeing the scene, went to the tavern for sanctuary. It was here the bartender makes history. When the drinks were served to these governors and leaders of the Ardovician leadership, something deadly was added. The soldiers with them saw the scene, but it was too late, colonial leadership had been halved in a since instance. The bartender was shot on spot, and the tale was only told be Mashington himself, who, despite having no trained experience, led the citizens militia in the fighting. By morning, the Ardovicians Loyalists in the Citadel were finished, and they surrendered. Meanwhile, the majority of the Ardovician soldiers who had returned from the South conquering the Incas were met with information, and luckily the General was able to convince them to stand down, and the military victory was complete.

Over the next months, educated men from around the colony came to Nautica to discuss the ramifications of the new nation. Over this time they adapted a Declaration of Determination, a Bill of Rights for the citizens, a Constitution, and even a new name. These documents give birth to a new form of government using variations upon the Ardovicians, Oysterlonians, Raegendar, and the Latin Empires of old, which would form the United States of Equalibria. They also granted one third of the nations budget to permanently set to fund a system of education that would be free for all citizens of the nation, and gave rights to citizens who had never enjoyed anything of the kind. The Declaration of Determination was sent to Ardovicia, which in return sent a fleet to retake the colony. After a fierce naval struggle with the small squadron of captured vessels, Ardovicia landed forces on the colony, but the overwhelming amount of now-Equalibrian soldiers pushed the Ardovician soldiers back, and on the beach, with no way out, they surrendered. Relations between the United States and Ardovicia are still hostile, and it is unknown of what plans the Empire has to retake the colony.

Map Update

Thanks for telling my before I finished the map...

Also, the Spanish did that in around two hundred years (Even more than that, actually). Why can't I? Whatever, I'll fix it.

Could you add northern India as my colony in the map too?

Sure

@Horus I believe Allen claimed all of that land before Fort rebelled. I could be wrong, though, but that's how he got so large as a nation.

[Fortunagen]

One for Old World homeland, one for colonization. Basically, when you start out, you are allowed to conquer some territory. then you reach your limit. you are not allowed to conquer anymore. And the claim limit gets bigger and allows for more as time passes.
The colonization limit is separate, and depends on other stuff. You can have more territory if you claim in different places, and it mostly depends on your imperial power (How can you fund the colonization of all of Brazil? Are you a rich empire like Ardo or Neo, or are you a small nation like Iceland or Montenegro? Think of how much the latter two would colonize if they were claimed.).

Think the United States in 1800. They had plenty of land that had been given to them, but had not settled it yet, the majority of my 1800's will be settling and building infrastructure, while business deals simultaneously.

Well, Neo, not all of that land is filled out, those are just the claims I put because I will eventually develop into these places.
