A Land Divided- AH RP(OOC/OPEN)

[Timothia]

Apparently, I've pumped 4,524 words (26,924 characters) into the IC. I've used the word Massachusetts 63 times, Commonwealth 41 times, and then words like Governor, government, currency, exchange, trade, interested, merchants, and port.

Noty that it really matters, I just found it kinda interesting.

Trade with the Carolina's too. We'll make you rich.

Definitely. What do you have to offer?

Cotton, sugar, tobacco and corn, other big cash crops. We also sell slaves for a good price

Also, I would post, but I've been super busy the past two days, and I've got an essay to finish tommorow. Maybe I can squeeze in a post and a quick letter reply tomorrow night, but I don't know yet. Might have to wait till Monday -_-

Posted, with replies to Virginia, New Ireland, and Cali-for-ni-a.

GOD ASKS FOR 10%?!?!

WELL IN REATRISM 11 IS A HOLY NUMBER! WE ARE ABOVE GOD!




Anyway, I could work with this.

And by timber I meant processed wood, yeah, imagine a bunch of logs and getting a pistol for it XD

ANYWAY, this seems fine... I'll accept the currency thingy later, I may or may not do it. If I do than it'll have a different name in Californian Spanish.

Stole that line from Herman Cain

Cain’s 9-9-9 video concludes with text saying, “If 10% is good enough for God, then 9% should be just fine for the Federal Government.”

We've got animal skins and corn. Lots and lots o' corn.

And I guess. Slavery isn't too popular in the Republic, considering that the colonists fought to free the people, not to enslave them.

Brief Description of your Economy: strongly based on intra trade between member tribes. Two distinct forms of the nation exist. Some portions follow massive herds of bison not only hunting them and trading the goods but also protecting them from over hunting. Other portions have become sedentary farm based communities.
Goals: remaining a independent nation from the imperialist nations of the world
History: When the first Spanish conquistadors arrived in the region the tribes of the plains realized things were changing. As time went on and their cultures changed to adapt to the new era many tribes began to combine into larger nations. By the time the first refugees from the east and west began to arrive some amount of trade had commenced with Europeans and some firearms had become a more common sight. The plains by this point had become six nations each combined of diverse yet still cooperative tribes. These nations were the Blackfeet, Teton Sioux, Cheyenne, Comanche, Lakota, and Yankton Sioux. As the knowledge gleaned from the refugees soon began to fit together the first forges in the plains were built. Soon becoming more reliant on trade the Nations began building towns. After a short war where the united Sioux went to war with the Blackfeet over the rights to a buffalo herd the Sioux and Cheyenne combined into the original Free Tribe Nations. After a time the other nations realized their best chance to remain independent of the encroaching Europeans and other nations would be to work together. By the time the American revolution had begun the council began rebuilding the ancient ruins of Cahokia for a capital ( fun fact it is believed the ancient Mississippi Indian city of Cahokia along the banks of the Mississppi was the largest city in American history until the 1900's when New York City reached 3,437,202) New Cahokia was nowhere near the ancient cities size but it was still massive for the plains. Being a hub for trade in every direction it's massive earthen walls inspired the plains peoples to nationalism and began to usher in what appeared to be the beginning of a golden age.

Brief Description of your Economy: The Empire's economy is centered on export of raw materials and foodstuffs. The domestic market is small, due to lack of credit and the almost complete self-sustainability of the cities, villages and farms that dedicate themselves to food production and cattle herding.

Goals: Become an industrialized world power by the end of the century. Develop the internal markets while continuing to increase external trade. Increase foreign relations with Europe, the rest of Latin America and the nations of North America. Develop a strong military and navy for the securing of the national borders and the empire's interests. Prevent European interventionism in Latin American Affairs.
History: Brazil, Portugal's largest and wealthiest colonial possession was spared much of the "independence fever" that affected Spain's colonies and in fact, the Brazilian people highly favored Lisbon and the Portuguese administration. It wasn't until the Portuguese ruling House of Braganza and the Spanish House of Borbón united that Pedro the first of Brazil, member of House Braganza, declared independence with the hope of annulling the union of the of Portugal with Spain.

His rule was widely accepted by the mostly monarchist population of Brazil and the newly independent Empire was generally regarded as the successor of the Kingdom of Portugal.

Ok I know this probably sounds bad but I have never had to create a map on N's before can anyone give me a quick run down on how to do that?

Otherwise this

except not that far south.

On a modern map I would control Montana, Wyoming, Colorado,North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri.

Oh and yes I put all the way to the Rockies because this was the actual land of the tribes that resided there. My population is rather small for such an expanse due to disease and other problems caused by trade with Europeans. My population would now be on the rise and the council would be looking to shore up its borders with small earthen forts.


And if anyone looks this up my entire nation is based loosely on reality. So look up Cahokia, the different tribes and the area of the Great Plains.

[Timothia]

Yeah, that's more or less the response I expected from New Ireland. I have to leave for church in a couple minutes, but I'll write something up when I get back after lunch (4 hours or so).

Also, about switching currencies...
