A Land Divided- AH RP(OOC/OPEN)

Who was on the map first?

Yeah, and I even respected the claim for Gibraltar when making my map, just for you.

No need to get all defensive.

If you want'em, fucking keep'em.

I am with Neros on this one. Neros claimed those lands first even if another player's app was accepted. The fact that Neros claimed and reserved those lands first already makes the other player's claims invalid.

EDIT: Oops, post came too late - Disregard

Other Info
Brief Description of your Economy: Agrarian, in very good shape as Virginia has become rich selling cash crops all over the world. Fishing and trading as well as growing crops for food are emerging economies too.
Goals: To become one of the most influential powers in America and dominate American politics, to expand westwards at gain new land.
History: During the American Revolution Virginia was one of the largest states and therefore supported some of the most to the war effort. After the war Virginia delegates refused to enter a large, central powered nation and ended up being one of the causes for the USA failing. Their years after leaving were unstable, with Natives attacking frontier towns and other States trespassing on disputed territory. President Jonathan Heather-son may have been their first president, but he was certainly not remembered kindly.
In 1786 Adam Quince took the Presidential office and began the job of building up their nation into a New World superpower. Loans were taken from France to help rebuild the economy and frontiers. Quince also began sending militias to clear Virginia of natives, hoping to be rid of them finally. He also began building up Virginias ports, allowing the fishing and trading economies to grow.
In 1792 Adam Quince left office and John Baker went in. While Baker continued building up ports and the economies, he took up an isolationist stance, cutting relations with all nations except France, who they continued to pay back their loans. Baker instead focused on expanding farther and farther west to make more farms and cities, making the way for Virginia's power. He was even harsher on the natives than Quince and many were killed under his rule.
In 1798 James Monroe became president, luckily. Baker was not well liked and many hoped President Monroe would be more like Quince. That he was, focusing on building up the economy and establishing relations with fellow Dixie nations. He also quietly cut off the loans to France, hoping they wouldn't notice in the confusion Europe was in. One thing he has done differently is be kinder to the natives, for reasons unknown. How he will do is up to the future to decide...
RP Sample:
President James Monroe was sitting in his furnished office at the grand capital of Richmond when a messenger burst into the room. "Sir," he gasped, pausing to catch his winded breath, "the Natives have attacked Fort Jonsbey in western Virginia. Casualties are estimated at over 200, including many women and children."
This took President Monroe by surprise. He had thought most of the natives in Virginia had quick this nonsense and simply moved further west. Obviously the savages we refusing to accept more civilized ways and wished to continue their barbaric life. They would pay.
"Send the Roanoke Militia to deal with them. I want every Indian villages within 50 miles of there burned to the ground. Kill everyone- women, men, children, even the beasts. Then burn it all to the ground and have the civil end men hang the remaining Indians throughout the forest. They shall pay for this action."

Hmm... "Holy Monarchy"?

[Reatra]

Hmm... "Holy Monarchy"?

Isn't that the definition if monarchy?

Hmm... "Holy Monarchy"?

Only some forms; some monarchs rule by social contract.
But it just sounds a bit strange, and doesn't really describe the Papacy.

Technically it does. Theocratic monarchy would sound better though. There is the Pope and the King... Although those happen to be the same person.

Never thought I'd ever use that little fact XD

Brief Description of your Economy: The Ohioan economy is largely based on agricultural products at the time because of a lack of industry except in a few cities. But with the resources of Northern Michigan being opened up to exploitation industries are starting to spring up along the Ohio River and the Great Lakes.
Goals: To maintain Ohioan Independence and potentially expand westward.
History: Following the failed Philadelphia Conference in 1787 some colonists from the new countries in the East (Primarily New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia) moved west into the disputed territories of the Old Northwest. Over the years the colonists of the region began to develop a separate identity as they were completely different from the people on the other sides of the Appalachians, the Ohioans were individual farmers settling out on the plains of the region unlike the Plantations in the South or the Trading communities in the North. On October 2nd, 1793 delegates met from several regions of the territory to discuss forming a proper government in the absence of an Imperial or Coastal Authority. Over the next two months the delegates hammered out a constitution and symbols to represent the new born nation. The Ohioan Constitution divided the Nations land up into 17 Provinces and giving the Federal Government power over the provinces with a President and Parliament being created.

Does that look good so far?

[Reatra]

Think it looks fine, at least stat-wise, I might think that the navy might be a little big.

I quartered the amount of ships now. Also I should probably have the History done sometime Today or Tomorrow.
