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

[Gold state]

When a rebel hits the floor and begins to breath fast
Or when a brass cannon fires it's last
Maybe when the Southern Belles shout a rebel yell
May you all know of the unending Confederate hell

To arms my son in grey
Go on and take Washington in a day
When your bayonet splinters and catches your eye
When you fall to the ground about to cry.

Alright. Germany is soresorish point. Bavaria & Baden Wurttemburg have been taken from them, as has a small blob in Danzig. I have no idea who's apping as them anymore, so could everybody interested raise their hands?

THis is annoying. No Britain and no Germany. :/

Siam is suppose to have a colony of some sort. Not a big one obviously, But I'm supposed to have an Island of some sort. And on the Map it says I'm only Siam+Myanmar+One Bangladesh Province, when I'm also suppose to have either one Philippine Isle (The One above Borneo), or Maldives.

Can we fix this? Or is Siam just not gonna have any Colony?

:/
How about you remove the Spanish coaling station/whatever it was? Your original Philippine island is now in Iberian lands, after all.

Uh, why does Siam have that one Bangladesh province?

You have enough land >.> I can give you Bhutan or something if you feel sore about it

goddammit so many territory conflicts >.<

I know, Territory Conflicts are a pain.

And it's fine, I've already decided the one Bangladesh Province I'm "Not Suppose To Have" is my Colony. Unless I'm not suppose to have it.

Nation Name: The Empire of Scandinavia
Symbols: Flag, Royal Flag,
Greater Coat of Arms
Small Coat of Arms
Population: 17 million native, 13 million colonial
Location/Claims: Sweden, Norway, ((Denmark)), Iceland, Greenland. [[Tanzania]], Kenya, Uganda, [[Burundi & Rwanda]], United Arab Emirates,
Capital City: Stockholm
Government Type: Constitutional Monarchy. The power is vested in the Emperor, who then works out from a constitution. The King announces elections every four years, and then elects a government who then does his work. The government is responsible to the Emperor.
Ideology: Nationalism, Conservatism, Socialism, Social-Democracy,
Leader/s: Emperor Carl XVI Oscar, Prime Minister Gustaf Ekenbro
Economy: Primarily a rural land, with a large agricultural sector built up by a large system of farmworkers who move around from farm to farm, with payment in food and shelter. However, more mechanised farms are coming up, and so are the industries in the cities sprawling from the large surplus of farmworkers able to move to the city.
Infrastructure: Scandinavia has a large stretch of railroads all across the country which is easily used and modern, construction is also currently being made in the Norwegian mountains to ensure a railroad line there too. Roads are quite common, and it is more akin to the rest of the European lands. Construction is also underway to build a massive railroad system in the African colonies.
Army: Out of fear of the Russians, Scandinavia's Imperial Army has a national conscription system and a standing army of around 100,000 personell. The army is the main branch of the military, acting out as both a defensive and offensive force. It relies more on quality than on quantity, and chooses it's weapons carefully. Importing most, but then altering them. It also aims for self-sufficiency.
Navy: The Imperial Navy has seen a boost to it's strength with the unifying of Scandinavia and the establishing of colonies, it has several ships ranging from dreadnoughts, merely one or two, to simple corvettes. It's main job is to protect the Scandinavian Empire from naval attacks, but also to clear the sea lanes to the colonies.
Goals: Scandinavia aims to modernise itself, and bring in more industriaisation to the land. It also aims to reclaim Finland from the Russians, and perhaps more if the chance is given, and expand in the African continent.
History: Scandinavia was united after the Swedish-Norwegian Armies came to Denmark's defense in the Second Schleswig War. ((Despite losing, Denmark found it safe in this new club, and so, after the childless Frederik VII had died, the crown of Denmark was passed to the Swedish king Karl XV.)) He then proclaimed the Empire of Scandinavia, and a new constitution was drafted, giving more power to the king. After his death in 1894, his son, Carl Oscar took power. Shortly after in 1899, his second son, and only surviving, Karl, was born.

These (()) brackets means that they are there in case Denmark does not join up. These [[]] are the former african colonies. So, if everything else is fine and dandy, just ignore those.

I think someone is apping for UAE, so how bout you remove UAE and get Burundi and Rwanda, would that be fine?
Colonial pop is also a bit high, and no dreadnoughts. Apart from that, seems in order. Will be good to help fill in the north European void

@Al, added more detail.

Infrastructure:
A developing infrastructure that is based on the best in the West. The Empire is currently expanding its road system and copying that of the West and China.

Army:
The army's total number is roughly 500,000. Ever since the restoration, official military academies have opened in multiple cities were the soldiers are trained. All the soldiers in the Japanese army are professionally trained. Ranks follow that of the West but are renamed to fit the culture of Japan. Officers have inherited the role of Samurai on the battlefield.

Navy:
The navy is the prized gem of the nation. It is the best navy in all of the Pacific with over 500k men working many different ships. Ships range from high quality coastal defense ships to cruisers. There are more than what's listed below produced, but this is what's in commission.
3 Dreadnoughts
14 Pre-dreadnoughts
14 Coastal defense ships
5 Armoured cruisers
10 Light cruisers
35 Destroyers
40 Torpedo boats
4 Submarines

Goals:
1. Purchase or take land within the Pacific
2. Expand trade with western nations
3. Grow sphere of influence

History:
Unlike in OTL, Japan opened up to western nations in the 1600's. At the time however it was struggling from a variety of social problems that lead to it being quite defenseless. It was much weaker than it should have been but it was open to trade. It watched as nations like China grew in power and the west grew stronger. It was this desire that lead it the restoration. In the 1820's it was decided that Japan needed to modernize. They then sent out loads of people to Europe to learn their secrets. From their they implemented the best systems of education, infrastructure, government, and more. But this could only happen after much social change. In the 1800's a new Shogun took to power by the name of Meiji. From their he lead multiple uprising in other shogun's ares and eventually expanded his power. The emperor was helpless and eventually he took over all of Japan. He was the Chosen Shogun. From their he established himself as the new emperor in 1819. It was this that was considered the 'restoration' as he restored power to the emperor, granted a new emperor, and modernized Japan. Now, 80 years since the Great Shogunate of Japan was founded, it has undergone much of the process of modernization. Its companies work in other nations like China and Dutch Indonesia and help to advance the nation. Granted it is not as developed as other nations, it is still quite powerful and posses the best navy in the Pacific. Having undergone the 'Naval Restoration' in the 1880's it expanded its influence and lead what was known as the Polynesia Campaign in 1890s. This was the first time submarines were used in battle as they had been invented much earlier than in OTL. As well the first Japanese Dreadnought was invented at the end of the campaign in 1899. Now the year is 1900 and the empire of the rising sun is coming about.

FIne except that navy & army numbers need to be lowered (possibly halved), no dreadnoughts, and I dunno what your Polynesian claims are, can you just leave it alone and take Kuril & Ryuukyuu?

:/

And it's fine, I've already decided the one Bangladesh Province I'm "Not Suppose To Have" is my Colony. Unless I'm not suppose to have it.

Alrighty. I'm sure I can work something out with Seljuq if he wants something.

Well, now all we need is Gaermania et Britannia. However, all, fear not; even if we don't get them by the end of today, I will still start the IC today. It's getting tiring >.>

[Bujahla]

@Al, I will lower army numbers and remove the three dreadnoughts as well as my Polynesian claims.

[Alleniana]

@Al, I will lower army numbers and remove the three dreadnoughts as well as my Polynesian claims.

Ok. Does 250k for army and navy (to total 500k, which is just over 1%) sound fine?

Sure I guess. I just want a fighting chance against nations like China and Russia cause I know I'm probably gonna end up against someone or another in something.

China & Russia aren't up to your modernization, I don't think, so shouldn't be a prob.

[Reatra]

PLEASE! IC!

[Elderowa]

Yeah, even though we don't have Britain or Germany, I think we should start the IC now.

[Alleniana]

IC will come today, regardless of Brits/Germans, but I am editing map

Good, good. We really need to fix Border Issues.

I'll probably post tomorrow.

Also, Bujahla, I understand your the Mughals, right? If you are, I just wanna know where the Mughals and Siam Stand? Are they enemies? Allies? Neutral with one another?

No, Seljuq Kyiv is Mughals. Bujah here is Japan.

No, Seljuq Kyiv is Mughals. Bujah here is Japan.

Ha, My mistake There are a ton of Players here though.

Seljuq probably won't like that I mistoke Bujah as the ruler of the Mughals.

No they shouldn't but China says Beijing (or was it another city?) had a lot of automobiles already. As well Russia doesn't seem the complications with an industrialized Russia.

[Elderowa]

Anyways, Bujahla, How about your nation and Mine form an alliance? I know Siam is not as strong or as advanced as you, but we are making strives to be as strong and as advanced as your nation, and we did fend the French out of Bangkok (In my Sign Up, France and Siam went to war instead of Siam just accepting the loss of Laos). We could be very helpful to you too (We have Lumber, lots of Lumber. Something I'm sure you'd like).

[The Nation of Hay]

My first move will making allies, and sending a big fuck you to Italy!

I don't appreciate that :/

EDIT: Oh wait, you're Austro-Hungary. I'm okay with this :3

Ooh, resources. I love resources. I can see a future with trade and such. Are you on bad terms with anyone? I just don't wanna ally someone and the next thing I know its, "Suprise Mother****er" from China trying to invade me, which would probably fail miserably.
