Should nations have to die out? Would it be possible to have an original nation in the Modern Era?

Yes! Kill all the nations!

Not yet. It's 800-700 B.C.E right now, so the last Iron Age turn will be tomorrow, so E.A starts in two days.
Where must we go, we who wander this wasteland, in search for our better selves?
In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand." The City's gone,
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.

We wonder, and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.

Will us who are entering in the Early Antiquity stage have all the Bronze age techs?
AH, PMT, some FT.


Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded ultra-progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a journalist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a generally optimistic attitude towards humanity in general.
Your attitudes towards economics appear neither committedly capitalist nor socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a liberal.
To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a considerate idealistic egalitarian with many strong convictions.

The first one can be found in the OP ;)

The second, Technology spread, is basically a concept that I'm toying with adding in the rest of the ages. Basically, thanks to Steampunk Mars, we have come up with a way to accurately portray how technology literally spread throughout the world. (The wheel, chariots originating in modern-day Kazakhstan and ending up in Britain. I'll go and edit it into the OP.

Thank you. 8) Not really my best work (totally unshaded, among other things), but you get the idea. It's just for an RP, after all.
If I get sufficiently bored, I might do the whole pantheon. But I probably can't post all of them; some of them (yes, Banat, I mean you) will almost certainly violate the PG-13 guidelines of the forum, even if it's "only" pixart.

Hegemony is complete dominance over something.

Found it!

If I hold, say, more than the Swedish Empire, would I be over expanded?

That will change depending on the age: early ages, you'll probably be overexpanded, especially if you're non-civ. In later eras, technology and the conditions of states in general will make it easier to hold onto larger swaths of territory.

Is the U.S. throughout the ages a good example of this? Even they faced some overextension problems in the 1800's.
