World of Conquest (1815 Alt Hist; Open, OOC)

[Era the Mind]

We also export the majority of furs in Europe... plus, Africa is a literal gold mind. Ugh, I love Africa. I don't want to expand in Africa, though. I'm comfortable with the amount of land I have there. ^_^ Asia is a bit iffy, and I don't have a very good stronghold there, so getting Indian kingdoms to join the Federation is a great way of doing that.

WE ALSO NEED MORE ASIAN NATIONS! D: They keep on dying.

Arulean is still Japan but is caught up in RL.
We'll see.

Okay, cool. I'm just worried all the Asian nations will die off

[The Manticoran Empire]

Nation Name: United States of America (Formerly American Imperium)
Nation Claims: American Imperium's territory
Capital City: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Nation Leader: James Madison
Nation Leader Description (History and physically): Google James Madison
Previous Nation Leader and Description (If recently changed): King Jordan (deceased)
Form of Rule: Constitutional Republic
Population: 18,000,000
Military Population (no more than 5% in times of peace): 36,000 army, a Second rate, two Third rates (fourth rates ARE NOT ships of the line), three Fourth rates, six Fifth rates, twelve Sixth rates, and 70 Sloops of war (Larger end of the spectrum)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rating_system_of_the_Royal_Navy
Basic History of Nation: Imperium history up until recent coup.
The coup itself lasted for the better part of a week, beginning when Senatorial Guards seized the ruling elite of the Empire at the Citadel of Payne. Important leaders of the Imperium regime were also arrested and imprisoned, pending trials for treason. King Jordan was executed as he rode to the Citadel a few days later. With no time to get a message out to potential loyalists, the old regime died quietly, allowing James Madison and the Son's of Liberty to assume control from Philadelphia and begin crafting new policies, including an end to the war with Mexico. (Think Operation Valkyrie if it had worked).
Basic Summary of Current Situation: Seeking peace with Mexico and her allies, seeking to consolidate power internally and ward off potential snatch and grabs, also seeking to improve the industrial capacity of the North and South.
Basic Plans for RP: To become a world power, at the very least, with as little bloodshed as possible.
RP Sample: see prior applications.

I like it (now I see it). So active nations I'm aware of are:
Me (Anglo-Kalmar Alliance)
You (New Federation of Poland)
Taganian (American Imperium)
Pimps (Mexican Empire)
Evenia (French Empire)
Lenciland (Oceanic Commonwealth)
Halleon (Hellenic Republic of South America)
Arulean States (Empire of Asia/Japan)
Tayner (Republic of the Dakota's)

World Powers:

Empire of Asia/Japan
Anglo-Kalmar Alliance
New Federation of Poland
Mexican Empire

Regional Powers:

French Empire
Oceanic Commonwealth
American Imperium
Hellenic Republic of South America

Minor Powers:

Republic of the Dakotas

We need more Regional & Minor powers, guys

I highly doubt that the Mexican Empire is a World Power especially compared to the French Empire. Even then the Commonwealth is a World Power based on their colonies in South America and Africa. World Powers are Powers that can impact their military, economic, and political power anywhere throughout the World. Regional Powers are limited to their Regions for obvious reasons.

Could you maybe provide a paragraph of information on how the coupe worked? That'd provide more depth to the RP, and I like depth. Plus, I'm going to begin encouraging higher quality posts. On my end, I'm gonna start focusing less on quantity and more on quality. A single paragraph from you is all I expect. You don't need to go overboard, but could you please do this so I can have some reading material?

Thank you. Do that, and I'll code your thing for you, and put it in coding code for you to copy & paste.

I know, I was just letting you know what would happen if you decided to move those OOC claims to the IC. I was looking forward to taking the reigns of Sicily again, it's been a while (look at the original Kingdoms and Colonies RPs to see what I mean)
b) neither do I, but 600,000 is a large amount especially considering what you control has quite a bit of the Sahara Desert in it.
Cool.

In this AH, Africa actually has very advanced infrastructure. Africa was the beginning of Polish-Lithuania's mandate for equality & advancement everywhere. It's basically a continent where experimenting is greatly appreciated. To do this, however, laws are VERY, VERY strict. I mean VERY strict. The smallest thing will land you in jail. It's why no one wants to commit crime there (well, not "no one", just the "civilized" people), and when they do they are placed into jail for an extended period of time.

Forgive if I refuse to believe that, you'd sooner see a rebellion take place in your colonies than have people happily accept a ruling like that. Especially when most of them can see that that isnt the way of life in other neighbouring colonies.

By what power can you do this? You aren't the Op, I haven't made you Co-Op or given you any other power over other people in this RP.

Falling pretty far for something that would have had little effect on everything else. The coup ended with a new government in place and no power vacuum.

I did it anyways because I agreed with him. It would help others to understand by including information about the coup itself, though I should probably redo it.

I was meaning the third and last two sentences mainly, but thanks.

I shall require the names of the heads of state of the belligerents in the war with the American Imperium. I am attempting to draft letters to each head of state, requesting a formal ceasefire and peace negotiations at a neutral location.

King James V and King Gustavus IV for me.

[Pimps Inc]

Well the Mexican Real is a world currency, replacing the Spanish Dollar worldwide.

I would like to test out this Universal Nation Ranking System (UNRS), and develop it over time to become more specific, have more rankings, and take a wide variety of things into account. I am looking for some input in it, and am hoping to develop it to the point that I can use it in my Empires RP's to determine where City States stand in the roleplays that I will be hosting. For now, however, World of Conquest is free to use this system.

Do you have any recommendations for criteria? I would like to have a list of criteria for each, if that'd be okay ^_^

World Powers: World Powers are those that are capable of affecting a wide range of territories across the globe. They have the capacity to deploy troops in other empires, topple the economic reign of smaller nations, and utterly decimate their political opponents. They have a great amount of influence, and will often be aligned with a vast majority of different states and nations. Certain world powers are noted for their high efficiency, as there have been world spanning empires with only 120 thousand troops in total. World Powers are highly intelligent in their actions.

Regional Powers: Regional Powers are nations that can influence the region in which they are active by a great amount, and may have more power over their region than even World Powers. One notable example of this is the Empire of Japan/Asia, which controls a vast expanse of Asian territories underneath their powerful regime. Regional Powers may not have the capacity to influence other nations and regions on the level of World Powers, but they are more focused in their capacity to achieve their goals. The amount of territory that a regional power has, their economy, and they military force all have to be taken into account when determining what a Regional Power is.

Standard Powers: A Standard Power is just that. It is a nation that has the Power to influence itself, and can slightly influence the territories around it, but not by much. These make up the vast majority of nations in the world, and much like Regional Powers their place on the planet can’t be underestimated. A Standard Power is, generally, average in military might, their capacity to influence the politics of others, and their economy, but some nations may have a stronger military, political capacity, or economy than another Standard Power. Much variety in strengths and weaknesses can be found in Standard Powers, and this is the ranking at which the most differences can be found.

Minor Powers: Minor Powers are nations that are developing, have just been founded, or have not seen the need to expand themselves further than the amount of territory that they control. While they have allies, yes, minor nations don’t have much political might, and may not have a very strong military, and sometimes will have a lackluster economy. Certain Minor Powers, however, may have less poverty and a higher GDP than a World Power does due to the fact that their advantageous in their small, easily manageable size. Size is always a factor, and Minor Powers have their place in the world. It has been noted that a special few nations in this rank are just Regional Powers waiting to show their true might until the perfect moment. Embrace yourself, because you are a Minor Nation, but you will grow.

King James V and King Gustavus IV for me.

It's like Austro-Hungary

King James V and King Gustavus IV for me.

Two kings? How are you not in a civil war? Or do you have two countries?

Maybe it's a dual monarchy. Polish-Lithuania was led by two leaders ^_^ Maybe this is similar.

Poland was the dominant power, BUT, formally, each leader had the same amount of power.
