New Imperialism - AH RP v 1.1 [OOC, Signup]

[Emilio Aguinaldo]

We're running out of space a bit and Iran would be a pretty good starting space. I thought maybe those other lands, which could include maybe also Myanmar, might be a bit more of interest to you, but of less interest to appliacnts


true, but it's basically the biggest Denmark has ever been, minus Norway, and in those times, it was pretty decent. Admittedly it can't stand up to anyone, really, but at least it could probably hold its own again, say, Sweden or any Belgium if it existed

I suppose. Goddamnit James, y u have to sleep? I woke up and everything good was taken.

Can into US?

[Seljuq Kyiv]

Not really. Why?

Also, in this timeline, Timur never marched west into Iraq.

Too bad that land isn't super valuable.

Eh. It could be part of a super Siam.

[Jamessonia]

Can into US?

I may, but that's if I can't get Scotland at all. Even if I can't, it won't be the whole US, maybe a few states.

Eur, true. I'll keep your claims as they are, though Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh are effectively unusuable, only of interest to be conquered

By few, you mean those that mattered?

Well, all your New York (and some surrounding territory for aesthetics) are belong to Dutch now.

Muahaha. Nieuw Amsterdam.

Briefly describe your Nation's history. The nation was founded by Captain Janszoon, an almost mythical figure who is shrouded in mystery. They say he was from an area of Europe called Dutch, and that he was the first of their kind to step on Australiën soil. The place that he landed is on the north coast of Australië, and that is where Janszoon sits today. His followers spread out over the island, not in any way hindered my the terrain. But they soon met with what we know know as oerbevolking, or Aborigines. They helped each other in many ways, the Dutch showing them technology and the oerbevolking showing them many tricks of the land.

But peace was not to last. The Dutch, now at this point called the Australiërs, wanted to have the land for themselves. The leader at this time, whose name is lost to history, led this charge against the heathens. He wrote, in a book in the Janszoon Museum of History (circa 1680): "We must defeat these heathens! Their skin is black as their souls, and we must expel the demon from their souls, or kill them to rid the world of the demon, in order to bring them salvation". This strategy slowly started to wipe out the oerbevolking. Now there are only a few left on reservations, in which they are forced to work for little pay.

By the 18th century, Australië was catching up to Europe technologically. There was fairly consistent communication between Australië and Europe. They also started to trade with the Pacific islands and mainland Asia. It was at this time that several brave Australiërs ventured towards Willemsen (New Zealand). This soon became a major provider of wool and sheep meat to Australië. Closer to the 19th century they also ventured north to Zeijden (Papua New Guinea). This was used as a trading post between Australië and Asia. Both of these islands are named after the captains that claimed them for Australië.

Then it was the dawn of the 19th century. Times had never been better for Australië. Population was increasing in such large numbers that many were forced to move from the southern farms to the major urban centers up north, near Janszoon. As this happened, industrialization became inevitable. Australië soon became very similar to most European nations in regard to industry. The invention of the telegram made it even easier for Australië to get all the new European and Asian technology. Australië was quickly earning a reputation for being a fusion of European and Asian cultures, including food. Australiën food, a fusion of European and Asian cuisines, became a global sensation. Things are looking up for Australië, and they are ready to step out onto the world stage.

Briefly describe your Nation's government. Very similar to the British variety of bicameral legislature (House of Lords and House of Commons), with the Britse Hogerhuis and the Britse Lagerhuis respectfully.

Briefly describe your Nation's economic system. Our nation's economic system is very similar to that of the European nations.

Because there is no British Empire.

The Dutch would've been stupid to just stick to Indonesia, with nothing to stop them, it's make sense for them to at least attempt to take the entire Pacific. They'd fail, but y'know, Singapore would fall easily to anyone.

Of course I'd allow it!

I'll have to make a Dutch-esque commonwealth, though.

How about the "Nederlandse Gemenebest van Nationale Staten", which roughly translates to the "Dutch Commonwealth of Nation States". Of course, as time progresses, it'll probably loose the Dutch prefix.
