1810
Age of Imperialism, Empires, and Expansion

CURRENT MONTH AND YEAR

July, 1813

1 IRL DAY = 3 IC MONTH

Allow me to set the stage.

The year is 1810, on earth, an earth of an alternate past, for while the continents are the same, the nations are not. Other nations, some like ours, some so vastly different you don't recognize them. Cultures and Religions like ours, and some totally different. On this "Alternate Earth", the humans of the Earth have progressed at the same technological rate, but their nations and cultures are some what different.

Often times, you enter a thread and you are thrust into a war. That is not this thread, you can definatly fight wars, but you can also have Diplomatic Relations, establish alliances, conduct trade, create colonies, send spies into other countries, assassinate leaders, host Gala's or Balls, there is very little that limits you here.

Your nation can be based off a Real World/Old World Nation, it can be a Real World/Old World Nation, or you can make a completely new nation altogether.

Rules:

1. I, Nuverikstan, am the OP. What i say is law, and whoever i appoint as a CO-OP will share this power. However, i will wish to consult the RPers in all matters, for no man rules alone.

2. Try to be realistic. Its the 19th Century, no nation should have a population of hundreds of millions, armies of millions, or automatic weapons (Yes i know, gatling and puckle guns...). If you need help, consult me.

3. Try to keep it civil.

4. No controlling other people's attacks, unit reactions, or anything of the like.

5. No shrugging off enemy actions like they don't affect you; it is okay on occasion to have a counter, or to intercept the enemy's master stroke, but you are not meta, and you will be unable to defend against all their blows.

6. In addition, don't Metagame, which means don't use information you know in OOC in IC. Meaning, if someone says in OOC "I'm gonna invade you", don't immediatly make a post in IC where you prepare for a invasion, when there was no way your nation in IC could know about the attack. If you desire to make an action that you do not want to reveal to everyone, send it to me in a telegram. I will review it and determine if it is feasible. However, if someone is spying on you, they will have a chance to determine your plans.

7. No spamming or posting out-of character in the IC thread, keep OOC in the OOC

8. No Non-Human Species....

9. Realistic accuracy and things of that nature; your scouts won't be able to open fire at other troops at 2 miles range, no matter how good they are with their guns.

10. Last but not least, no superweapons. You may design your own weapons if you so feel the need, but I'd prefer images be provided for realism, and you CANNOT have a weapon that can kill an entire army.

So, i have given you all of the resources i have, i have laid out the stage, and i have laid out the rules.

Now, its up to you, to have fun....

Nation name: Union of Hungary-Serbia

National Ideology: Monarchy, Diversity

Nation's Leader(s): Mihaly Toth

National Government Type: Monarchist Empire

National history: The history of Hungary diverges around the time the Ottomans entered Europe. Instead of falling to the Turkish forces and being walked over on the march to Wien, they successfully stand their ground for a while. This buys the Hungarians enough time to call allies from other parts of Europe to assist them, most notable among them was the Poles. After many years of constant combat, Hungary pushes the Ottomans out of their land and south of the Carpathian Basin. Eventually, many years later, Hungary launched an invasion into Ottoman occupied Bosnia and Serbia. It seemed that the Hungarians would lose this war, due to the Ottomans being much more organized and advanced. However, the Poles came to their assistance once more and the Hungarians gained victory. In 1750, the Hungarian Monarchy announced the Union of Hungary-Serbia. Not 30 years later, Hungary united with the remains of the Austrian Empire.

Histories:

Union of Hungary-Serbia:
The history of Hungary diverges around the time the Ottomans entered Europe. Instead of falling to the Turkish forces and being walked over on the march to Wien, they successfully stand their ground for a while. This buys the Hungarians enough time to call allies from other parts of Europe to assist them, most notable among them was the Poles. After many years of constant combat, Hungary pushes the Ottomans out of their land and south of the Carpathian Basin. Eventually, many years later, Hungary launched an invasion into Ottoman occupied Bosnia and Serbia. It seemed that the Hungarians would lose this war, due to the Ottomans being much more organized and advanced. However, the Poles came to their assistance once more and the Hungarians gained victory. In 1750, the Hungarian Monarchy announced the Union of Hungary-Serbia. Not 30 years later, Hungary united with the remains of the Austrian Empire.

The New Spanish Empire of America and Her Daughters:
When the Spanish colonized Mexican territories in Central America they found native people and tried to convert them but were slaughtered by the savages. They gave up on trying to show them the light so they started to remove the native population and bring in Spanish colonists to replace them . By 1780 the Spanish began to fight for independence and won it within 5 years. The colonies were split into several nations, Florida and the Dominican Republic were annexed by the country New Spanish Empire of America turning them into her daughters.

Swedish Empire:
One of the key differences in history is how Sweden manages to maintain its old world empire, and even expand it past what was around at the time. Through a series of wars, Sweden managed to completely annex Norway and Iceland, as well as expand its lands across the Baltic region, completely encompassing the Baltic's as being a Swedish ruled area. This was then followed by an annexation of Denmark in 1794 following a long drawn out war. This has resulted in Sweden becoming one of the strongest old world powers (as its colonies were still lost just as they were IRL), focusing on the idea of Scandinavianism becoming dominant and the slow but stable push for Sweden to become the second Pan-Nordic state.

Japanese Empire:
In the 1780's the people of Japan overthrew the Shogunate, and the Emperor was ascended to full rule in Kyoto. The people of Japan opened up to the world, and the process of modernization began. Countries such as Spain and France were trading partners in particular, who also spread Catholicism to an extent on the islands. With this modernization came the rise of the modern Imperial military, and the increasing rejection of the old ways. While the Samurai still found a place, their ways were increasingly becoming outdated in the eyes of the Imperial Army who was being taught the ways of western Armies.

The Imperial Navy found the greatest importance, giving rise to Japanese shipyards and the start of the Japanese Industrial Revolution. The new Japanese Navy grows in importance, and stature as it acts as the embodiment of the Empire, the expression of its will. The expression of the Japanese people.

Then came Empress Sakura, who ascended to power after the death of her older brother and her the only one in the Imperial line left to take on the throne. Under her, the Imperial military and Japanese society saw more Western reforms and Ideas..........one of those being Imperialism. This lead to particularly savvy and imperialistic nature on the hand of the Japanese, which lead to a process from 1798 to 1806 in which the Hawaiian Isles were incorporated by force into the Empire.

The Japanese Empire is now a place of rapid development as it races to finalize its industrialization, and rise to the stage of relevance and prosperity. Them to watch the world as it unwinded, and the people of Japan waited............

United States:
The history of the United States diverges as the quasi-war with France comes to an earlier end, John Adams personally visiting France to see the Treaty of Mortefontaine come to reality despite the public disapproval of the President's seemingly ineffectual attempts at making peace with the US's former ally. Its signing on the 28th of August 1800 allowed the Adams legation to return with success to Washington and seeing a surge of support of the President's reelection campaign and a great deal of unpopularity to Vice President Jefferson whose run did not only insult Adams directly but attacked his person to a degree which the public found unfair. The greatest blow to Jefferson's campaign was Alexander Hamilton's surprising endorsement of Adams justified by the continuation of Atlantic trade secured, handing New York to the President's Federalist wing. Winning reelection with a wider margin than in 96', Adams started his second term with the public's support and a Federalist congress. The main domestic achievement of the term was the 1802 tax reform, securing funding for federal infrastructure programs and to pay for loans used to expand the US navy during the Quasi-war. A major event in foreign policy was the Barbary wars, sparking federal action in establishing the US navy and building ships for overseas warfare. John Adams was succeded by his Secretary of State, John Marshall, who campaigned on a platform of delegating funds for infrastructure projects to individual state governments, managing to unite the most pro-federalist faction of the Democratic-Republicans with the Federalist party whose leadership had become unclear following Jefferson's disappearance from national politics. Marshall's effective bipartisan compromises in the beginning of his term allowed him to gain leverage elsewhere, like the Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves signed into law in 1806. An expansion of the US navy to prevent any future trade wars through determent was passed through the 1808 Naval bill.

Arabian Caliphate:
Arabian Caliphate (or the Second Arabian Caliphate) is born around the time of the Hungarian war against the Ottoman Empire. In a short matter of time, the Arabians, under the legendary leader al-Yusuf revolted against the Ottoman Empire and defeated the Ottomans at the Battle of Medina in 1748, forcing the Ottoman Empire to accept rebel's demands. The new Arabia was now ready to enter the modern world.

The New Arabia later annexed Oman (without its colonies) and Yemen and fully unified Arabia. Now Arabia's ambitions turn north, with its highly motivated army, to defeat the Ottoman Empire and regain the Caliphate to the place it began from. Mecca.

Al-Yusuf modernized the army to Western standards, introduced absolute monarchy and centralization, and was true supporter to Islam. Arabia developed its navy and was planning on overwhelming waves of conquest in the Middle East.

British Empire:
The English have remained a world power since the early medival ages, but in 1703, an uprising occurred in her homeland against the monarchy. This uprising was in favor of a democratically elected government, similar to that in place in the United Provinces or in the Roman Empire. The majority of British colonies in the America's took advantage of this civil war and broke free of the Empires hand.

A good ten years later, with the support of a few nations in Europe, the total monarchy was dissolved. A Parliment was set up and Britain quickly regained control of a few of her colonies, in addition to gaining some new ones. The Empire survived and a surviving member of the former Royal family was put in a ceremonial rule as the new British government began to function. ( Only in the colonies of Australia and Eastern Canada are non UK votes accepted.)

Russian Empire:
After loosing lands to Sweden Russia invaded Iran in 1752 which was in a weakened state due to their recent Empire collapse in order to gain viable Winter ports and to increase moral. Easily taking all of Modern Iran the Russian Empire now had access to warm water ports. Over the years integration programs were implemented making a strong sense of Russian pride normal across the land. In 1785, to appease growing discontent, the serfdom was ended and a Constitution signed forming a Parliament or Duma. With the end of serfdom and democratic government in place the sciences and industry in Russia started flourished.

India:
Everything started with Apostle Thoma's mission in India. Instead of being assasinated, Thomas lived the rest of his life spreading the word of Christ in India, which resulted in the Saint Thomas Christian community growing. Many other christian missions later just made the number grow.But that never changed too much in policy.. For a big time.

It was the 18th Century. 1712. The Mughal Emperor, Bahadur Shah had just died. Chaos broke out in indian lands.
A major Polygar feudal lord,Daya Mahanta, a christian, decided this was his chance. He declared independence, and used his forces to invade Southern india. This started the war between a coalition of the Mysore and Madurai against the Dominion of Cochin, with support from the. The war lasted long 12 Years, but in the end, the Cochin were victorious, due to poor leading of the Madurai leader, Vijaya Ranga Chokkanatha Nayaka. Most of southern india was under control of the Cochin now. 3 years after, the Cochin army started to march northwards, still using the opportunity of the Mughal Civil war. Homewever, the expansion stopped at Orissa and Maharashtra, as casualties and unrest were growing quickly.Daya Mahanta made peace with the Mughal and Maratha, and began to estabilize his country. In 1738, the Maratha, who had recently taken over the Rest of Mughal lands, declared war to the Cochin, starting the Second Cochin-Maratha war.It was bloody, with Heavy tolls on both sides. But the Maratha were poorly-equiped and tired from the previous war, and in the year of 1747, they surrendered. The First Cochin Maharajah was now old, and decided it was time to modernize india and it's army. But even today, the Northern parts are populated heavily by tribes.

Italy:
As Napoleon's reign began to fail, other national monarchs he had installed tried to keep their thrones by feeding those nationalistic sentiments, setting the stage for the revolutions to come. Among these monarchs were the viceroy of Italy, Eugène de Beauharnais, who tried to get Austrian approval for his succession to the Kingdom of Italy, and Trey Williams, who called for Italian patriots' help for the unification of Italy under his rule. This lead to the Italian Civil War which ended with a military victory for the government but a political and social victory for the nationalist. This caused the "Government Reformation" and after two years of protests and internal conflicts within the government, Trey Williams was elected to lead the new nationalist Italy.

Poland-Lithuania:
Following the Battle of Vienna in 1683, the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth dedicated itself to ensuring the security of Christendom in Europe from foreign aggressors. Viewing the Ottomans as a threat, the Polish focused more on their military and industries, realizing that the Muslims had the ability to strike at any moment. The moment to test their dedication to European Christendom came during the Hungarian invasion of Bosnia and Serbia. Seeing their fellow Christian allies in need, the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth helped free those regions. However, many had agreed that this was not enough. Following the liberation of Bosnia and Serbia, the King declared the Islamic nations to be "the roadblock on the road of Christian prosperity", and launched an invasion into the Crimean Khanate, severely weakening the Ottomans in the Black Sea. During the late 1740s, the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth experienced levels of disunity and small scale revolts, which led to the Krakow Accords of 1748. The Krakow Accords increased Polish nationalism as well as promoted Polish hegemony. The law was heavily enforced up until the late 1700s, as it seemed that the population was naturally drifting towards Polish culture. Polish -Lithuania is interested in gaining some colonies, and it is common to see Polish missionaries in Africa, South, and East Asia.

Germany:
Unified in the late days of the 1600s, the Kingdom of Germany was a rising power in the European contient, quickly rising to the levels of her neighbors France and Poland, quickly growing into a hot spot of middle Europe, much to the dishust of the Swedish who had robbed the loose confederation of their rightful land years earlier. Then the 18th century rolled around and the face of Europe began to change. Hot on the heels of the Republican revolutions in the other parts of Europe, the German Kingdom, barely two centuries old found itself caught up in the frantic change. Republicans soon found their way to Germany at the middle of the revolutions to a pleasant surprise. The blood of a monarch was not needed to bring Germany into the light of the Republican way. The King, having seen other countries rip themselves apart to foster these new ideas agreed to enstate a government, and advicated power, loving his country more than his title. In response he was allowed to remain as a symbol of the country, despite having no power, and now rests, with no heirs, as the final King of Germany.

[Welfresio]

im sorry why is the app paragraphs long

[Allkoff]

I'm not sure what exactly your referring to but the app has a lot of extra words in parenthesis that you can delete after you read it. Its just there to clarify or give ideas for the app. If your referring to the lengths typed in our own apps its because (at least for me) I want to provide as much information as possible so that I can quantify what my nation is capable of and provide evidence for how or why I am able to do something. You probably don't have to elaborate as much as we did just give enough information to work with, and if you have more material to work with from your app I think it would be more fun to play the game.

Nation name:Japanese Empire

National Ideology: IMPERIUM

Nation's Leader(s): Empress Sakura Kazuma

National Government Type:EMPIRE

National history:
In the 1780's the people of Japan overthrew the Shogunate, and the Emperor was ascended to full rule in Kyoto. The people of Japan opened up to the world, and the process of modernization began. Countries such as Spain and France were trading partners in particular, who also spread Catholicism to an extent on the islands. With this modernization came the rise of the modern Imperial military, and the increasing rejection of the old ways. While the Samurai still found a place, their ways were increasingly becoming outdated in the eyes of the Imperial Army who was being taught the ways of western Armies.

The Imperial Navy found the greatest importance, giving rise to Japanese shipyards and the start of the Japanese Industrial Revolution. The new Japanese Navy grows in importance, and stature as it acts as the embodiment of the Empire, the expression of its will. The expression of the Japanese people.

Then came Empress Sakura, who ascended to power after the death of her older brother and her the only one in the Imperial line left to take on the throne. Under her, the Imperial military and Japanese society saw more Western reforms and Ideas..........one of those being Imperialism. This lead to particularly savvy and imperialistic nature on the hand of the Japanese, which lead to a process from 1798 to 1806 in which the Hawaiian Isles were incorporated by force into the Empire.

The Japanese Empire is now a place of rapid development as it races to finalize its industrialization, and rise to the stage of relevance and prosperity. Them to watch the world as it unwinded, and the people of Japan waited............

Nation name: The Swedish Empire

National Ideology: Monarchist, Scandinavian

Nation's Leader(s): King-Emperor Gustav V (Son of Gustav IV Adolph)

National Government Type: Constitutional Imperial Monarchy

National history: One of the key differences in history is how Sweden manages to maintain its old world empire, and even expand it past what was around at the time. Through a series of wars, Sweden managed to completely annex Norway and Iceland, as well as expand its lands across the Baltic region, completely encompassing the Baltic's as being a Swedish ruled area. This was then followed by an annexation of Denmark in 1794 following a long drawn out war. This has resulted in Sweden becoming one of the strongest old world powers (as its colonies were still lost just as they were IRL), focusing on the idea of Scandinavianism becoming dominant and the slow but stable push for Sweden to become the second Pan-Nordic state.

Accepted! However, your military is a bit too large. With a 1.5% military size, your military should be a total of 225,000. Besides that, you are good!
