Forge of Empires II - AH RP [OOC/Open!]

[Lunas Legion]

No it will come down to the person's ability to RP since neither of them wrote the app.

I don't know how good of an RPer Orson is...

Just going to say that, from my experience, he tends to vanish.

A lot.

Mhm.
You could always base an application from Calt's, history wise, but make it your own, y'know?

Perhaps if I edited the history a bit, and found a better flag (since Buj hates Calt's flag)?

Mayhaps. I wouldn't be able to tell you.
But I can tell you this;
- Disband the Anglois army and scuttle your navy. That will be good in my books.

[Aldelxane]

Does this one look any better than the original one, or should I keep searching?

[Aldelxane]

Not sure how I'd change the history. Also, thinking about it, I don't think I've ever RPed Britain or France before...

It looks cool, but I for one liked Calt's DK Flag so I wouldn't be the most reliable of sources.

But as I said, that is a cool looking flag, in my opinion.

You don't need to change the history - you could keep it the same, really. Maybe some slight alterations here and there.

[Aldelxane]

Something using the colors of the French Republic might look better, but ITTL there was no French Republic. IMO the flag of the Kingdom of France was ugly.

Hmm...

[Aldelxane]

Honestly I don't think there are any good flags for an Anglo-French union... The English flag on it's own is boring, and the flag of the Kingdom of France is ugly.

Unsure if I should be offended that England's flag is boring or not.

If it helps, the flag of the UK is interesting...
The issue is that it isn't relevant here, as Scotland isn't part of Anglo-France, therefore invalidating the use of the union jack in a flag.

[The Kingdom of Glitter]

Well, there is St. Patrick's Cross.

[The imperial canadian dutchy]

Well, there is St. Patrick's Cross.

Do I have to remind you how the Union jack looks without scotland...

Nope. You just have to get the right one.

A.K.A this one.

The differences are extremely subtle, but it's what the Union Jack would look like without Scotland, as explained here.

[Aldelxane]

Well, there is St. Patrick's Cross.

I could try something with that, but the trick would then be to figure out how to add symbolism for the Kingdom of France without ruining the flag.

That'd work, but then how would I represent France?

Government Info
Government Type: Semi-Federal Parliamentary Democracy under a Constitutional Monarchy
Brief Explanation of Government: The government of the Dual Kingdom is, in fact, as complicated as it sounds. England and France are both home to individual Parliaments, in Middlesex and Ile-de-France respectively. The Monarch has properties in both cities, along with properties in Windsor, York, Orleans, Caen and Angers. These two Parliaments, when combined, make up the Parliament of the Dual Kingdom or 'le Parlement de la Double-Uni'. French and English can be used in either Parliament, with the overwhelming majority of MPs being bilingual, fluent in both English and French. The Parliaments are known as, individually, the Parliament of England and le Parlement de la France. The individual Parliaments decide on law for their respective regions. De jure they need royal assent, but this is rarely considered in the actual day-to-day workings of the Parliaments. The MPs are elected by the landed citizenry of England (along with Wales and Ireland) and France, respectively. Gerrymandering is less common than previously, and rotten boroughs have mostly been eliminated. The government is then made more complicated by the existence of the Royal Regional Assemblies, or les Assemblées Régionales Royaux. There are eight of these in the Dual Kingdom and they are, in no particular order; The Welsh Assembly, the High Court of Ireland, the Council of the North, the Cornish Seat, the Breton Parliament, the Senate of Flanders, the Council of Normandy and the Aquitanian Assembly. They deal with regional issues of their said locales; for example, the Council of the North would deal with the subsidization of industry in Northern England, but would still have to adhere to the laws set by the Parliament of England. The members of these assembles, dubbed 'MAs' are appointed by the Monarch on the guidelines set by the people of the regions. They have been largely successful, since their foundation, of lowering militancy throughout the nation. The government and monarch are restricted by the recently-updated Magna Carta, the nation's Constitution. The position of Prime Minister is elected by both houses of a single individual who represents the Parliament of the Dual Kingdom. The Deputy Prime Minister is, usually but not always, the second-most popular individual. There are also the Crown Dependencies, the Isles of Man, Guernsey and Jersey. They have their own parliaments but are under the protection of the Anglois Crown.

Brief Description of your people: The Anglois culture is a one both new and old. The culture itself is the result of four hundred year old union between England and France; and the chaotic civil anarchy which followed it's establishment. It draws from the French, English, Welsh and - to a much lesser extent - Irish cultures, creating an entirely new identity. 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.

Brief Description of your Economy: The Anglois economy is a diverse one, based on trade and production. Due to it being the birth place of the industrial revolution the Dual Kingdom has an extensive amount of industry compared to that of other nations, with coal and iron production in Northern England being at an all time high. The Dual Kingdom also grants loans to other governments.
Goals:
-Prevent a Chaotic War (Goal of minor diplomats)
-Crush the German/Spanish/Russian/etc. PIGDOGS! (Pro-war minister's goal)
-Maintain/regain/gain hegemony
-Expand influence
History: In 1337 began the Hundred Year's War. So called not because it raged for so long, but because it's aftermath was so devastating that it was just as bad as the war itself. English was victorious all the way up to 1360 and - with their new-found Burgundian allies - they were finally able to utterly defeat the French in 1361. The French King was executed, and Edward was declared King of both France and England. What would follow, though, was no Kingship. Anarchy, anarchy everywhere. The French and English armies alike, both relieved of service, were a scourge on the country - some even resorting to burning and looting villages. The French citizenry did not take kindly to the King's inability to prevent this looting and this culminated in the 1363 Rebellion. The peasants pushed King Edward out of the city of Paris, mortally wounding him in the process. From that moment on, all Anglois Kings resided in Middlesex. Edward's successor, Edward, the Black Prince, became King Edward IV, and further saw the anarchy of the nation. The Dublin Rebellion in 1370, the Welsh War in 1372 and the Breton Riot of 1373. With Edward IV's death in 1376, the nation saw further anarchy. Richard became King Richard II, but nothing changed. The monarch held no control, and there was seemingly no way to prevent the chaos.

In 1545, Kind Edmund 'the Pious' started off his short reign with his reception at the Great Christian Compromise. In 1558, Queen Elizabeth 'the Magnificent' of House Plantagenet came to power, and the chaos began to stop. She created the Royal Regional Assemblies in 1560, quelling a large portion of the chaos by 1564. Her skill at statesmanship gave her the title she carried until her death. She pushed through Parliament a new law, which designated French as a co-equal language to that of English. This ended, at least mostly, the rioting in Paris. Elizabeth's reign saw the government take back control from the chaos, and up until her death in 1603 the nation slowly recovered. Her son and heir, King Edmund II took the throne and continued, mostly, down his mother's path. He separated the English and French parliaments in 1612 and made Welsh, Irish, Breton and Dutch 'regional languages' of the Dual Monarchy. More of this continued for several years until his death in 1641. The final major event was in the 1700s, when the chaos finally ended. Along with this came a growing sense of Anglois-identity that we see today, along with the growth of the Renaissance and the dawn of the Industrial Revolution.

After the coronation of Queen Victoria, the Empire invaded Japan, establishing a Christian Shogun and Emperor in place of the last, in order to secure Japanese tea exports. The Dual Kingdom also expanded it's colonial possessions in Asia, and gained many holdings during the Scramble for Africa. Victoria died an Empress, ruling over the grandest Empire in existence! The Humboldt era brought, initially, great shame upon the Empire, though this shame was soon shattered as the victorious armies of the Last Coalition utterly crushed the Germans, forcing them back into their petty homeland! In 1896 the Shogun ordered a 'holy war' against Korea, one which the Dual Kingdom joined in.

Brief Description of your people: The Anglois culture is a one both new and old. The culture itself is the result of four hundred year old union between England and France; and the chaotic civil anarchy which followed it's establishment. It draws from the French, English, Welsh and - to a much lesser extent - Irish cultures, creating an entirely new identity. 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.

History: In 1337 began the Hundred Year's War. So called not because it raged for so long, but because it's aftermath was so devastating that it was just as bad as the war itself. English was victorious all the way up to 1360 and - with their new-found Burgundian allies - they were finally able to utterly defeat the French in 1361. The French King was executed, and Edward was declared King of both France and England. What would follow, though, was no Kingship. Anarchy, anarchy everywhere. The French and English armies alike, both relieved of service, were a scourge on the country - some even resorting to burning and looting villages. The French citizenry did not take kindly to the King's inability to prevent this looting and this culminated in the 1363 Rebellion. The peasants pushed King Edward out of the city of Paris, mortally wounding him in the process. From that moment on, all Anglois Kings resided in Middlesex. Edward's successor, Edward, the Black Prince, became King Edward IV, and further saw the anarchy of the nation. The Dublin Rebellion in 1370, the Welsh War in 1372 and the Breton Riot of 1373. With Edward IV's death in 1376, the nation saw further anarchy. Richard became King Richard II, but nothing changed. The monarch held no control, and there was seemingly no way to prevent the chaos.

In 1545, Kind Edmund 'the Pious' started off his short reign with his reception at the Great Christian Compromise. In 1558, Queen Elizabeth 'the Magnificent' of House Plantagenet came to power, and the chaos began to stop. She created the Royal Regional Assemblies in 1560, quelling a large portion of the chaos by 1564. Her skill at statesmanship gave her the title she carried until her death. She pushed through Parliament a new law, which designated French as a co-equal language to that of English. This ended, at least mostly, the rioting in Paris. Elizabeth's reign saw the government take back control from the chaos, and up until her death in 1603 the nation slowly recovered. Her son and heir, King Edmund II took the throne and continued, mostly, down his mother's path. He separated the English and French parliaments in 1612 and made Welsh, Irish, Breton and Dutch 'regional languages' of the Dual Monarchy. More of this continued for several years until his death in 1641. The final major event was in the 1700s, when the chaos finally ended. Along with this came a growing sense of Anglois-identity that we see today, along with the growth of the Renaissance and the dawn of the Industrial Revolution.

After the coronation of Queen Victoria, the Empire invaded Japan, establishing a Christian Shogun and Emperor in place of the last, in order to secure Japanese tea exports. The Dual Kingdom also expanded it's colonial possessions in Asia, and gained many holdings during the Scramble for Africa. Victoria died an Empress, ruling over the grandest Empire in existence! The Humboldt era brought, initially, great shame upon the Empire, though this shame was soon shattered as the victorious armies of the Last Coalition utterly crushed the Germans, forcing them back into their petty homeland! In 1896 the Shogun ordered a 'holy war' against Korea, one which the Dual Kingdom joined in.

You can justify the white x cross with the smaller red cross within it for Ireland via St Patrick's cross was the point i was making.
