Pax Per Bellum: An 18th century Alt-History RP [OOC, OPEN]

[Jade Confederacy]

It sure looks like the map is pretty full. Is there any place that hasn't already been taken over?

Would you like to be Siam or Armenia? There are NPCs countries in those areas wbut your app would supersede the NPC's claims

It sure looks like the map is pretty full. Is there any place that hasn't allready been taken over?

Plenty in Indonesia.

Plenty in Indonesia.

Already two states in that area. One in Java and the other in Sumatra

You can take Bengal. It's the largest, most populous, and richest region which has yet to be taken over

Who's in Sumatra?

The Indonesian Hegemony guy, but i think he wasnt accepted so never mind

[Ameige]

Well I feel that to roleplay a country, its best to at least have a rudementary knowledge of it and I've never even heard of Sumatra or Bengal and the only thing I know about indonesia is that most of it's population is on the poverty line or below it. Looks like all the good places are allready taken, so I guess I'll just spectate.

[Ameige]

Im not sure what or where the country names represent that are taken aside from which section they are labeled in, so Im going to ask this. Are Russia, Germany, the Czech republic, China, or Japan allready taken?

There's no Russia (kinda sad right), Germany is split up and mostly taken, Czech republic is Bohemia and taken, China and Japan are taken. Perhaps you could rp as Switzerland, or any other remaining Italian States. I think Milan and the region is still open.

My friend, Bengal is just Bangladesh and also a part of India. Also, in this time-frame, India and Indonesia are perhaps some of the wealthiest parts of the world. Europeans are fighting to control trade with such areas, though it may be different in this rp.

Yea, you seem a bit new to this so just read the IC and see how these kind of RPs go. You need not only a rudimentary understanding of country, but also its history. For example, this RP is set in the early 1700s and countries such as Germany does not exist yet. On top of which its an alternate history RP so there are drastic differences between what happens in the RP compared to the real world timeline (ie Russia was conquered and turned into a Islamic mongol superstate). Lots of experience and a good amount of research needs to be done before you can apply for a country and even more is needed when you start interacting with the other players. Hope this dosnt turn you off as everyone here was in your shoes at one point.

Odd, I thought Germany existed in the 1700s as it's own country. How strange. Well is there anything that isnt based in India or switzerland, that I could use, or are those the only ones left? For me, India would be a last resort in any roleplay. Not a big fan of that country. It's culture is just really weird. More importantly, is there anywhere in europe that isn't allready taken? I've allways wanted to do an rp where I could control a nation with the combined culture and history of Germany, Russia and the Czech republic.

No one's in Sumatra, I believe.

Theres that land next to italy. I think it was Slovenia? maybe. You could have the combined culture of the slavs, germans and italians. Though, you'd probably just get kicked around. In the Americas, you could probably be like a Gran Columbia or Argentina, or perhaps some sort of colonial enterprise of the Europeans. The Dutch East and West India Companies, etc

[Alsheb]

Which country are you again?

Sultanate of Mataram. Have ideas of suppressing rebellions, and replying diplomatic letter. But that's it.

I sent you a letter for trade and cooperation I can also help with military modernisation if you like.

[Alsheb]

Five Nations has officially gone full metal - churches are burning, Christians are dying.

IC, I'd have to condemn that.
OOC, I must say I lol'ed at the "most inhabitants don't care about dying christians"

[Alsheb]

Or silver! Since silver is really the only valuable thing to China from outside Asia, it could cause a HUUUGE ordeal once Portugal/Spain doesn't get paid for that shipment.

European and Asian enemies? Oh this just gets better.

Sounds like you'd need some friends too, mate. Care for some friendly contacts with nearby Taiping Korea?

It's true that we often say "Germany" to what in RL was the Holy Roman Empire, since it was basically a German-dominated empire. However, it was not a nation state Germany as we know it now (that didn't exist until 1870). Anyway, in this alternative history, the Holy roman Empire doesn't exist either, being divided by a bunch of other countries.
There's some space left in Africa and definitely in South America. Europe, I'm afraid, is rather stuffed already.

Anything of importance, OOCly or ICly I have missed?

Hello all.

The Five Nations are killing Christians. This cannot stand, and I hope France will do what's necessary.

[Reatra]

Full Nation Name: Tawantinsuyu

There are a few issues here. Firstly, Prusslandia has asked to reserve an Incan nation, though nothing has really happened in that regard so it may not stand.

The bigger problems are;
1) Population is way too big.
2) Far too much territory.
3) The development you claim to have undergone seems unbelievably rapid.

Anyway, I'll let Kherkov have a look. We can see what he thinks.

Oh crap I put 33, didn't I? I meant 22... I must have... been thinking multiples of eleven...? I honestly have no idea. Errrrr.... take a look at what the Inca did from 1400 to 1500 and what I have done seems far slower. But Columbia might be a bit much, but the Andes and the La Plata plains seem reasonable. The Inca were incredibly adept at adapting to technology from conquered people, plus with the Spaniards likely wanting ALL THE SILVERZ they'd probably offer lots of guns or knowledge for it.

The Pope wants the Queen to show up for Christmas Mass at St.Peter's Basilica.
