New Imperialism - 1900 AH RP
Please note, this post is under renovation. Mind the potholes.
Badly Done Intro
In real life, the 1900s were the height of imperialism; massive empires spanning Europe dominated the world, while in other places, similar structures existed, like Japan, while even the large powers that weren't empires were often recently so, like Brazil, China, France and even Mexico, to an extent. The British Empire reached its height in this time, while pan-Germanism was, in a way, finally recognised with the German Empire, and even France as a republic was an imperialistic power. It was a time of empire, and though it ended with the First World War IRL, here, it doesn't have to be so.
You will control a country in this dangerous, militaristic world, just emerging into the times of mechanized warfare. Most of the nations will be particularly large empires, but you don't have to be if you want. Your goal (ICly at least) will be to promote your people and nation's power, to project your strength, to rule over your dominion like a leader befitting your age.

Applications:
Due to virtually non-existent open space on the map, the RP is semi-open, or semi-closed. Elaboration on this is that if you wish to join, you must either claim a former player nation (an NPC, and marked as such in the roster), play a rebel group, or TG me about anything else you might want to be (company, small country in some forgotten snippet of land, etc.) I will be very open to suggestions, but essentially, if you wish to join, the main options will be negotiating it with me or a co-op, or taking up an NPC.

Announcements & other Info:
Time passes at the rate of 3 months a page, meaning each page is a season, and 4 are a year.
I will post "random events" whenever dafuq I want which will have random events, obviously, that affect the world. They will announce themselves as random events via an italicized header. Look out for them.
