[Era the Mind]

I need stuff to do other than take land. Any recommendations?

Think "What do nations do in world relations other than war"?

;-; GIVE MEH DA INFOS NAO!

Mm.... trade? I don't want to just trade, though D: I dunno what else there is. Politics? :c Forge relationships, consolidate power, improve infrastructure. Anything else?

Research, exploit a native population, hold a world fair, etc.

Ohh, okay... well, we are researching. We will haz percussion caps before all of chu!

So, uhm, Pimps. How is a page IC'ly translated into time?

[The Blazing Aura]

No, it's still either French or neutral.

Also sorry for missing your post earlier, I've got a lot going on.

Ah, so then it's still French. I was a bit confused by a (new) French IC post.
Nah, it's all good

Well, if it isn't French I haven't been told anything about it.

Tell me, would it be possible to create say a quebec rebellion that are against the bourbons?

75 non-letter, non-face to face meeting, non-battle posts = 1 year.

@Eastern Antarctic State, so long as Evenia agrees I wouldn't mind.

[Era the Mind]

I have breechloading for my pistols & rifles :3 Anyone want to begin researching percussion caps & better firing mechanisms together?

I'm also going to begin to research some stuff ^_^

It's difficult but also great at the same time to keep running over plans for one's next IC post, running over how things can play out in a thousand differs scenarios, but it's torture not having the time to write it until later in the day.

Don't forget Lieutenant Fonsworth.

[The Manticoran Empire]

Nation Name: United States of America
Nation Claims: Ohio, Illinois, New England, Maryland, Rhode Island, Delaware, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, New Jersey.
Capital City: New York City
Nation Leader: James Madison
Nation Leader Description (History and physically): Google James Madison
Previous Nation Leader and Description (If recently changed):
Form of Rule: Constitutional Republic
Population: 8 million total, 5 million free whites, 3 million former slaves.
Military Population (no more than 5% in times of peace): 144,000 army (Following the split, the new government increased force strength so as to not injure their Southern neighbor's war effort, allowing The American Imperium to keep all pre-split army personnel), 4,000 navy and marines, 1 Third rate, a 4th rate, 5 5th rates, 36 Sloops of War.
Basic History of Nation: Following a series of disagreements between the Industrialist North and Agrarian South, a referendum was held. The Imperium split into North and South, with the intent of making rule of the nation simpler, allowing the South to go their way and the North to go theirs. The parting, while bittersweet, was mutually agreed upon.
Basic Summary of Current Situation: As a member of the North American Treaty Agreement (correct if wrong), the USA boasts a determined population and contains some of the largest shipyards in the United States. Farmers and industrialists are barred from providing monetary support to the Federal or State legislatures while all representatives, senators, and the President are voted for by the general population. Guns are extremely common in the United States, with families owning at least one rifle or musket. Minutemen units can be found in every village, township, and city, often serving as the Town Watch and as a supporting military arm should the military need it.
Basic Plans for RP: Support American Imperium and increase economic, political, and military power.

Thanks for the details on your navy size, I'm assuming they'll be leaving the Imperium's navy at the soonest possible opportunity? You still haven't actually answered the query and complaint I had with your app last time. Yes I get you're going to increase your army size as soon as you can, but that's still not what I'm asking you for. WHAT IS THE SIZE OF YOUR ARMY AT THE TIME OF THE SPLIT? Because you can't have 0 army personnel because who the hell are you then going to get to train your new soldiers? You won't have anybody to do it, so you may have farm-boys who can pick up a gun and maybe fire it but they won't be drilled, they won't be disciplined and they'll be more of a rabble than an effective fighting force of any kind. Unless that's what you want in which case go ahead.

You could have said that instead of saying "What is your peacetime army?" and "You get half of what the other guy has."

New map, and time to play spot the difference. (Note I've tentatively given Brandenburg to Era, this may change and is mainly so currently due to the large number of Polish troops in the region. )

It may not have been split in half, in fact part of me would have preferred if it hadn't been cut in a nice clean half. Also, for you newest app, accepted, I'll add you to the map. Orange OK for you?

No because it messes with the maps borders, I can do a dark grey though?

[The Manticoran Empire]

A lot of head-ache.

Also, these ships will be more of a symbol of the American Imperiums rebirth... as the Treaty is only being discussed in tg. So officially, the war is still on. But these ships I order are to really only be symbols that America has survived and is growing strong.

I am considering going on an early FDR spree. Building great marvels. Developing society. Ending slavery slowly, instating a post-Jim Crow Laws Imperium. Strengthing ties to Europe via trade and alliances. And the formation of a great royal court full of great joys and dances. (An American Versi)

Ending slavery without bloodshed? 900,000 Americans thank you for preserving their lives.

OK.

Sorry, otherwise I'd have to change the colours of all the borders on the entire map, every single little island, everything. And that's too much even for me.

[Taganian Unfied States]

I has a question and idea....

[The Manticoran Empire]

OK.

I hear you. I can live with dark grey.
