Forge of Empires - AH RP [OOC/Open]

[Bujahla]

Russian Mestizos? How do you recommend I balance it; majority white Russian or majority Mestizo? Would Texas even be called Texas if the Russians got here first? Maybe something like Blue Russia, Red Russia (not that one), South Russia, I don't know-- like the White Russia that is Belorussia.

I like Blue Russia the best. BTW I am Russia. So if you like I can be your former colonial master! Buj and I are working it into both our histories.

What makes Texas special is that it was spanish, and then one of the few places to be recolonized by immigration.

EDIT: It'd probably be Texac/Tekhas because the Spanish province name was Tejas.

[Chihuahua y Tejas]

Now who to be? Kingdom of Bolivia? Confederation of the Rio de La Plata? or Republic of the Patagonië? Alternatively I could go for the sandwiched Venezuela.


Its ok lol. How are you?

I'm great. I am still in Canada, it's 10 degrees Celsius at the moment, I will be heading to the UK at the end of summer to attend school and to stay with relatives.

Perhaps you could play as someone in Europe? Help me counter those bloody Catholics.

I could, but frankly it's boring and whatnot.

Siniyrossii (синийpоссии)? And yes, I'd be open to that. Like the modern-day Texas, however, Siniyrossii (perhaps we need a more anglicised name for OOC reference) would be very independent-minded, even if we would be an Alaskan almost-puppet.

I can live with Tekhas (Texac).

Yes. We'd be okay with that.

Wanna be Bolivia-Peru?

I do, but Argentina looks fun as well. Say could I change the name of it[Bolivia] I've never really liked it's name. Also Tejas is a Native American word.

Here a good anglicization: Sinirussia/Sinirossiya

So far me and Buj have decided on a revolutionary war that Russia couldn't fight because they where too busy dealing with Europe/Asia to give a fuck about North America and just gave them independence. Or something along those lines.

Generic Info
Nation Name:
Symbols:
Flag/Banner
Coat of Arms
Homeland Population: 7970000
Imperial Population:(N/A, although Crimea is a colony, the people there are Genovese by birth (and culture, the capital of Caffa was founded by Genoa during the Fourth Crusade))
Location/Claims: 24 (Liguria, Corsica, Athens, Macedonia(?), Caffa)
Capital City: Genova

Government Info
Government Type: Serene Merchant Republic
Brief Explanation of Government: Basically a merchant oligarchy. The Serene Doge is elected by the court of powerful Genovese families, although recently the di Savona family has been elected Doge again and again thanks to their massive wealth. The di Savona, thanks to their long stay in power, has been able to create much more stability in the Genovese government, and the Doge offsets the anger from the families in court through bribes. Anyway, back to the main government. The Doge is elected by the Court of Oligarchs (I guess thats the name then) and they make sure that the Republic can never be ruled by a king. Through thick and thin (even brief occupation by the Aragonese) the Republic has stood.
Ideology:
Leader/s: Serene Doge Remei di Savona and the Court of Oligarchs

Population Info
Brief Description of your people: The Lombards are the people who occupy Northern Italia (except Venezia) and Sardinia-Corsica (which is why Genovese reconquest of Sardinia has long been an election promise), their culture is latin, after their Roman conquerors, but the Genovese people still think of themselves as "Ligurian" more than "Lombardian".
Religion: Catholicism, Sunni (in Caffa)
Ethnicity: Lombard, Grecian, Crimean
Main/Accepted Culture(s): Lombard, Grecian
Other Cultures: Crimean

Military Info
Army: (Making this up) Serene Genovese Grand Army (76566 total soldiers and officers, mostly infantry (sometimes serves as marines, but that's usually the navy's job) and artillery)
Navy: Serene Genovese Grand Navy (numbers WIP)

Other Info
Brief Description of your Economy:
Goals: Colonization of Africa and expansion of trade in the Mediterranean
History:
RP Sample: -_- Required?Really? FIIIIINE!
HoE II

Very WIP

Why not both? Tekhas by the Spanish-speaking community, and Sinirussia by the Russian whites? Sinirussia would be the official name, though.

How would Sinirussia have gotten independence, though?

[Reatra]

Hmm... any one looking for a satellite state? I'll play as whoever anyone wants as a lapdog of sorts.

BE MY ALBANIAN/GREEK/THRACIAN PUPPET! IT PAYS VERY WELL!

Or.. All of Russia's 'undesirable' minorities migrated there. Ukrainians, Cossacks, Tatars, Uzbeks, Poles, Bellorussians, Balts, Karlians, Kolas, Murmanks, Tajiks, Catholics, Chechens, Muslims, Telingrins, Mongols, Zoroastrians, Jews, etc

Kinda like what happened with the US, from all the Scots and Irishmen

Ah. That's cool :3 (@tejas-comment)

And yes. Bolivia's name can be changed. But why not just be Hispania? Mexico and Spain in all its glory?

Russia's like "Fuck that, it's too far." It'd be funny if the alaskans prepared for all out assault but then the Russian reinforcements were really delayed so they thought they won and then they arrived after they thought the war was over and were ready for peace.

They'd have come to menya :3

And simple. Fight for independence from Mexico-Spain after being illegally heavily populated by Russians.

It would be hysterical.

Would an Islamic Absolute Diarchy by Divine Right be too far fetched?

Hey I can't help the fact that;

a) I had to load up Victoria 2: HoD in order to find a quote.
and
b) It's 5:43 am and I haven't slept.

[Caltarania]

A book written by French Renaissance author Voltaire entitled "L'Anglois" describes the typical Anglois as such; "The Anglois maintains a stiff upper lip - with which he speaks two tongues - has a strong sense of fair play and is an advocate of liberty. Inventive, graceful and witty, he cuts a striking image amongst the nationalities." The book was a best-seller across the Dual Kingdom, and is widely accepted as the best description of the Anglois.

Eh, don't like being in Europe. To much pressure etc. Anyways get ready world. For the Kingdom of Tiahuanaco! Later to become the greater Charcan Reich :b.

The Russian Emperor agrees with this statement absolutely. And would like to see such a quote on the Russias.
