1923: Extremely Alternate History (OOC, OPEN!)

[Sveltlana]

And we'll probably send that letter anyways. if only just to see if we can obtain access to a videotape of that rape.

Feel free, we won't really care

We'll look at it, and promptly burn it most likely.

O.O Erm. Ah. Err.

Ah, diplomacy!

Also, there's no reason to feel awkward

Pro-tip: The Hague doesn't, and never did, exist. Ergo, you can't very well have a new one

That presents some unnecessary difficulties/annoyances with naming various locations, but whatever. I just threw that as a placeholder regardless.

Mhm. As far as I can tell, Dutch culture wouldn't exist either, considering the Netherlands have been split between Britannia (where the inhabitants of our areas are Frisii and Batavi) and Holstein (where I would assume the citizens of their Netherlands are German) for like over a thousand years.

Well, Frisii is somewhat a precursor to the Dutch modern language, so it could be postulated that over time, the blending of Germanic and Latin/Britannian culture could result in a proto-Dutch culture that emerges in enough significance to impact the history of my nation, but not enough to cause major shifts/changes in their parent countries.

[Rephesus]

I wont even begin to criticize ow close minded those comments on Invading India were. As of now in OTL India would either be united under the british Empire (Doesn't exist) or the precursor, the Mughal Empire.

[Prusslandia]

So it makes sense for my Mongol controlled India to exist ?

You'd probably have to go for a different tribal horde. Punics squashed the Mongols way before their time.

Nation Name: Shenguo Republic
Symbols: National Emblem
Population-homeland: ~41 million
Population-colonial: ~2 million
Location/Claims: Chile/Coastal Peru/Southern Argentina/Polynesia/Samoa/Micronesia/Guam-Saipan/Wake Island/Aleutians/Northern Kurils/Hawaii
Capital City: Tai Long (Santiago)
Government Type: Post-apartheid nearly developed democracy.
Ideology: Laissez-faire
Leader/s: Prime Minister Li Wubei, President Pari Hasua
Economy: Shenguo maintains a rapidly developing economy, with an emphasis on less governmental control over fiscal affairs - in essence, a laissez-fairestate. Under the old apartheid government, natives on the Pacific Islands and inthe mainland generally took extremely menial jobs and lived in slums outside the Chinese majority cities. However, the middle class is continuing to absorb more 'Yangui' (natives) as they move into the cities and earn a higher keep.
Infrastructure: In Shenguo proper, the roads systems around the main population centers are well kept and new. However, in more rural areas, paths are extremely difficult to navigate and treacherous. Some communities even use the ancient roads built by the Incas.
Army: Not very strong, focused on defense. Approximately 0.02% of the population are enlisted in active and reserve forces.
Navy: Very strong, one of the largest powers in the Pacific - maintains a wide reach from the Aleutians to Polynesia, very modern, and large. Approximately 0.04% of the population are enlisted in the navy.
Goals: To strengthen the economy to that of a developed state, and become a major power worldwide.
History: (In a nutshell - I'll edit when I have the time) Basically the Ming continued to explore, colonized Chile/Peru/Pacific Islands, native populations didn't die out, when Ming weakened colonies broke free as Shenguo, Chinese colonists used an apartheid system similar to that in South Africa, only recently has it been lifted.

The Ming never existed. The Khmer have ruled China since the 900s.

India, or at least Bengal, is also a bunch of little princely states, and I assume this situation extends fairly far since the Khmer are going to send diplomats to Varanasi to negotiate with some of the maharajas. Perhpas you could do something in south/central Africa and the Maghreb? Or the Congo Basin? Or you could do Arabia outside the Rub al-Khali.

Not if he claims it it isn't. If he wants to be India you wont be able to deny him solely because you want to conquer it.

[The Emerald Dragon]

Meanwhile in Australia...

Nothing.

I just need to edit my Khanate app.

@Lunas- Would a Sikh Khanate work ?

Sikhs don't form Khanates, they form empires with Raj's as heads of state.

I plan to have colonies in Australia, if I am accepted.

@Chinese Chile, upon fixing history, you can be accepted with the loss of pacific ocean claims that extend beyond french Polynesia, Hawaii, and Easter island.

@All, having known Garwall from multiple RP's, his land in his WIP app is reserved.

@Prussialand, Mongols =/= Mughals btw.

[The New Lowlands]

Our response will probably be something like the rape of the President's daughter.

We don't quite understand the idea of etiquette, and we don't care for diplomacy unless it serves us favourably. We'll most likely send some soldier to Roma, and when he starts drinking wine and eating a turkey leg in front of the Pope, we won't understand why everyone is so disgusted.

In our culture, and our ideological beliefs, the weak bow to the strong, or the strong kill the weak. Because we believe in 'National Darwinism' we believe that if a nation cannot defend itself, or bring itself into existence through force, it doesn't deserve to exist. Also, we didn't carry out any actions against the citizenry, only the President. Our idea of Imperial Citizenship basically makes us respect the Lower Burgundians, because they are now citizens of the Empire of Britannia. Those who resist will be treated differently, however.

And we'll probably send that letter anyways. if only just to see if we can obtain access to a videotape of that rape.

From the wiki, Mughals are Timurids by a different name. Could go from the Mohgul Khanate though.

[Bujahla]

Just realized the Mughals were persian-based. Thus, it couldn't have happened. Still thinking a Punjabi Empire would be awesome.

I'm trying to decide between having a Red or Fallen Fighter's Square in front of the Nihonese presidential building.
