Science, my friend, just science, it's a trial and error process and sometimes end in death.

Ideology: Right to bare arms, Individual freedoms, Monarchist, Conservative, Liberal, Africa for Whites

Leader's: Keiser Claudio Vandergroot, Chancellor Aaltje Ostrander.

Population Info

Brief Description of your people: The people of Die Boererepubliek are mainly white Africans (Dutch), French Immigrants and Polish Immigrants. Afrikaans and English are the two main languages in Die Boererepubliek, although some second generation immigrants speak French and Polish. The majority of citizens in Die Boererepubliek are in the middle class, although some are poor in the Eastern regions.

Polish Immigrants (Most have been in Die Boererepubliek for three generations.): 2,000,000


Main/Accepted Culture(s): Boer, Dutch, Other White African sub-cultures, Polish and French

Other Cultures: African

Military Info

Army: The army is split into two branches, the Bushvegter's (Professional army) and the Mensevegter's (Mainly well trained militia's). Bushvegter's are mainly used for offensive action, and the Mensevegter's are normally used for defensive action. The Bushvegter's are elite, patriotic and professional troops with a high level of training, and the Mensevegter's are normally militia's with rifles with a low level of training. There is no age limit to join the Mensevegter's and the right age to join the Bushvegter's is 15-45.
Active Bushvegter's: 390,000
Reserve Bushvegter's: 150,000
Active Mensevegter's: 40,000
Reserve Mensevegter's: 70,000

Other Info

Brief Description of your Economy: Die Boererepubliek's economy is mainly based on mining, industrial products, along with agricultural production. There are many farm's in Die Boererepubliek and a lot of factories. Most citizens in Die Boererepubliek have good jobs, earn a fair amount of money and pay an income tax of around 30% (Lower for the poor). So overall the economy of Die Boererepubliek is strong and large, and is one of the richest countries in Africa.

Goals: Secure more land in Africa, get colonies in upper Africa and in the Pacific.

History: Around a hundred years after the plague most of the whites in Africa had fled to less populated area's in South Africa to avoid the plague and race related violence. Disease, chaos and conflict had riddled the landscape the African landscape for a near century, but while the Africans were embroiled in conflict the white refugees had constructed beautiful cities, monuments and towns in parts of former parts of South Africa. The Boers soon became the dominant culture in the large groups of white refugees and created Die Boererepubliek.

But soon the Africans became aware of Die Boererepubliek, a huge war ensued between Die Boererepubliek and African tribes who were attempting to rid Africa of whites once and for all, blacks that had lived peacefully Die Boererepubliek were exterminated, and half-casts also got killed. Die Boererepubliek finally beat the African tribes and sued for peace, the Africans agreed and left Die Boererepubliek alone.

After the huge war Die Boererepubliek sent boats up to France and Poland and brought immigrants back to Die Boererepubliek. During the next fifty years Die Boererepubliek focused on increasing industry, agricultural production, rebuilding cities and towns. Once these goals has been accomplished Die Boererepubliek began to increase it's military and naval strength, and did so adequately.

Now most citizens of Die Boererepubliek live in a happy society, with clean streets, adequate sewage systems and safe cities. Most citizens own a rifle or other types of weaponry, and have pledged to defend Die Boererepubliek to the death if it was to ever come under threat.

Well, time to crack the fingers, get the popcorn, and get the cogs working cause I am going to need some tactics to route them.

RP Description:
It began as whispers, messages ferried back and forth across the Earth. Letters detailing various insults of nations to each other and their peoples. It ended in blood and hellfire. The great cities of the world fell in minutes, governments fell in hours, and the Earth fell in a day.

While struggling to rebuild in the devastation that had befallen their home, the peoples of Earth were struck low again, with an insidious sickness claiming much of the surviving population. With that, silence fell, and darkness came to claim its dominion.

However, hope survived. Hope for a brighter future, and a gleaming tomorrow. Man endured, and after seven centuries, great nations are once again emerging to bring their peoples to glory. A second remembrance has begun, as the old ways are rediscovered and ruins are plundered for the secrets of the ancients.

This world is one in rebirth, rising like a phoenix from the ashes of its former self. Will you guide your people into an age of peace and prosperity? Or will you risk everything to rule an empire of blood and iron as was done before. The choice, great leader, is yours...

Rules and Regulations:
There are a fair few rules and guidelines for the RP, listed here. These following six are basic and should be easily understood and followed, and after that will follow more specific info that is more liable to change.
1. Obey NationStates forum rules
2. Obey the OP and those appointed as per their role
3. Make sure you are not metagaming, godmodding, numberspamming, or generally RPing in bad form
4. Have a couple of paragraphs a post and good grammar & spelling
5. Exercise common sense generously
6. Be active every couple of days at least

Beyond the basic rules, there are a few regulations, which is basically a special way of saying special rules for regulating the RP. So rules+1. Each regulation is R.X.~~~ where X is the regulation number and the squiggles are the subject matter.


Applications:
If you want to reserve land, you must use the following reservation. Reservations will last for 12 hours though you can appeal to the OP to make it last for a maximum of 36 hours. These reservations are meant to give you time to make your application or keep your area safe while AFK. These are not meant to be used to keep other waiting. You will not be able to have a second reservation (for the same area) unless you provide significant reason why. Real life always takes precedent, so feel free to Telegram me if you have any issues.

Rules and Regulations:
There are a fair few rules and guidelines for the RP, listed here. These following six are basic and should be easily understood and followed, and after that will follow more specific info that is more liable to change.
1. Obey NationStates forum rules
2. Obey the OP and those appointed as per their role
3. Make sure you are not metagaming, godmodding, numberspamming, or generally RPing in bad form
4. Have a couple of paragraphs a post and good grammar & spelling
5. Exercise common sense generously
6. Be active every couple of days at least

Beyond the basic rules, there are a few regulations, which is basically a special way of saying special rules for regulating the RP. So rules+1. Each regulation is R.X.~~~ where X is the regulation number and the squiggles are the subject matter.


Applications:
If you want to reserve land, you must use the following reservation. Reservations will last for 12 hours though you can appeal to the OP to make it last for a maximum of 36 hours. These reservations are meant to give you time to make your application or keep your area safe while AFK. These are not meant to be used to keep other waiting. You will not be able to have a second reservation (for the same area) unless you provide significant reason why. Real life always takes precedent, so feel free to Telegram me if you have any issues.

Military Info

Army: The army is split into two branches, the Bushvegter's (Professional army) and the Mensevegter's (Mainly well trained militia's). Bushvegter's are mainly used for offensive action, and the Mensevegter's are normally used for defensive action. The Bushvegter's are elite, patriotic and professional troops with a high level of training, and the Mensevegter's are normally militia's with rifles with a low level of training.

Other Info

Brief Description of your Economy: Die Boererepubliek's economy is mainly based on mining, industrial products, along with agricultural production. There are many farm's in Die Boererepubliek and a lot of factories. Most citizens in Die Boererepubliek have good jobs, earn a fair amount of money and pay an income tax of around 30% (Lower for the poor). So overall the economy of Die Boererepubliek is strong and large, and is one of the richest countries in Africa.

Goals: Secure more land in Africa, get colonies in upper Africa and in the Pacific.

History: Around a hundred years after the plague most of the whites in Africa had fled to less populated area's in South Africa to avoid the plague and race related violence. Disease, chaos and conflict had riddled the landscape the African landscape for a near century, but while the Africans were embroiled in conflict the white refugees had constructed beautiful cities, monuments and towns in parts of former parts of South Africa. The Boers soon became the dominant culture in the large groups of white refugees and created Die Boererepubliek.

But soon the Africans became aware of Die Boererepubliek, a huge war ensued between Die Boererepubliek and African tribes who were attempting to rid Africa of whites once and for all, blacks that had lived peacefully Die Boererepubliek were exterminated, and half-casts also got killed. Die Boererepubliek finally beat the African tribes and sued for peace, the Africans agreed and left Die Boererepubliek alone.

After the huge war Die Boererepubliek sent boats up to France and Poland and brought immigrants back to Die Boererepubliek. During the next fifty years Die Boererepubliek focused on increasing industry, agricultural production, rebuilding cities and towns. Once these goals has been accomplished Die Boererepubliek began to increase it's military and naval strength, and did so adequately.

Now most citizens of Die Boererepubliek live in a happy society, with clean streets, adequate sewage systems and safe cities. Most citizens own a rifle or other types of weaponry, and have pledged to defend Die Boererepubliek to the death if it was to ever come under threat.

Better, but still lower military numbers, rifles are currently a no, use some form of musket instead. Finally, maybe a bit lower on the population.

why rifles a no? people would know about rifling most likely but they are so slow loading not many people would use them. i was planning on having a regiment of snipers in my army that was pure rifles, is that not allowed right now

Rifling is an early industrial technology, which we will get to, but will not have at the start.

Rifling is an early industrial technology, which we will get to, but will not have at the start.

from wiki "Muskets were smoothbore, large caliber weapons using ball-shaped ammunition fired at relatively low velocity. Due to the high cost and great difficulty of precision manufacturing, and the need to load readily from the muzzle, the musket ball was a loose fit in the barrel. Consequently on firing the ball bounced off the sides of the barrel when fired and the final direction on leaving the muzzle was unpredictable.

Barrel rifling was invented in Augsburg, Germany at the end of the fifteenth century.[5] In 1520 August Kotter, an armourer of Nuremberg, Germany improved upon this work. Though true rifling dates from the mid-16th century, it did not become commonplace until the nineteenth century."

so i don't see how we couldn't have it, just be in less use to due to increased loading times

The first combat use of the rifle that I can see is 1807,by the British against napoleon, 100 years after the general cutoff for initial available technology.

see kentucky/ pennsylvania rifle used by the 1750's and morgans sharpshooters in the revolution. again, the combat ineffectiveness of a rifle currently is the longer loading times compared to muskets so people would only use them in war as irregular sharpshooters. The main use of them were as hunting rifles as they were more accurate than muskets since they were not effective for the line volley tactics of the time. this means that while rifles would only be in small sharpshooter contingents currently, it would be entirely to have those units
