Advent of the New World (1500 CE RP OPEN TO ALL)

[Nieblham]

Ok. Thank you. Am I correct that it is still the puppet state?

No, no you are not.
You are very, very, very incorrect.

To make it known to everyone NOBODY HAS ANY PUPPETS right now at least

[The V O I D]

I'll begin working on my post immediately. I want me some of that Joseon, at least.

[Danceria]

Oh hecc. Is it too late to stake claims?

[Nieblham]

Who that has access to the city of Midgar (Mumbai IRL) wants to trade with me?
in particular would be the Kingdom of Joshua, Portugal, Persia, and maybe Japan

Depending on where the Danes shall steer their ships... not as strange of a concept as one may think. For now, I'm gonna be getting some beaver pelts from the Iroquois and jostling with the other Colonial powers.

[Nieblham]

No, you can claim an NPC, claim elsewhere, or (if the NPC is outside of Europe), claim an NPC and add more provinces to them (even if that would annex an NPC or two) so long the total provinces are 50 or less. i.e you could app as Mamluk (egypt) and claim Tripoli and Lebanon

Danes? You can app as Sweden as you want they control Denmark

Ah...so if one were to be Sweden, one could feasibly gobble up either the Netherlands...or colonize in the New World.

IC you can go to war with Netherlands
OOC Sweden is in Europe and as such more claims cannot be added to them

[Sobeiska]

The Kingdom of John to the south of me according to my history is a seceded portion of me, and I believe I should be recognized to have rightful claim over it should I decide to go to war. Then again that's to be decided IC. Regardless

It should be noted they (are)
-Christian
-Hate the Kingdom of Joshua
-Contain a significant portion of Christian Radicals

In addition, I am willing to trade with the nation of Balamb

[Togeria]

So I think I'm going to drop my claim to England, I feel it'll be too intensive, so I'll do something in like Central Asia.

sounds good just create an App and we'll look over it.

[Trotza]

So who are the guys to the east in Baluch-Afghan lands?

[Nieblham]

So who are the guys to the east in Baluch-Afghan lands?

The Mughals?
if you are looking at the map it says NPC so i hope you aren't looking for a player
but if want info on the Mughals they are more like the Timurid Empire but i choose Mughal as that's more familiar with people
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timurid_Empire

Are they still a gunpowder empire with a more advanced offensive army, or more tribal horsemen typical of the area.

Currently i am treating them as they are in that Wiki but if you claim them you can customize them so long as it's reasonable.

My post is coming along nicely; it is going to be in three parts. The first part will involve the Emperor and stuff going on in the Palace, the second part will involve the war with Yuan China over Joseon, and the third part will involve a messenger being sent to Wei China to make an offer should they align themselves with Japan in the war with Yuan.

EDIT: Here's a Japanese Map of the World, c. 1550 or 1600. It's non-canon, as this is what Japanese military/political leaders are going to have drafted up in my post. It's an idealistic map, not canon at all and who knows if it'll actually come to fruition.

They're obviously going to only display the Asian portion when they meet with the Wei about an alliance; the Wei get their 'united China', in return for supporting the Japanese in their own endeavors in the Asian sphere...

[Democratic East-Asia]

Mmm, United China definitely looks nice, though my own lack of colonies / vassals might be an issue later (guess I'll take Burma and parts of Central Asia).

If all comes to fruition, Wei China's probably just going to end up as some oversized land-based power (in comparison to Japan's naval strength).

Question: what is the status of the Catholic Church in Europe? I assume if Caeser is rising yet again, he may force the church to be a vassal, something some Catholics may not like. Especially considering the HE's confess of abusing the heck out of clerical authority for their own gains and propped up dozens of antipopes. petitioning the Holy Father for spiritual guidance.

No doubt the Crusade Sigurd was upon could be related to the place of the Pope in this day and age.

from my understanding
A.) Caeser doesn't exist Rome is a Republic
B.) The pope resides in Rome and as such is controlled by Cainesland
C.) the Pope didn't crown Charlemagne Emperor of Rome (because Rome existed) and thus no HRE but instead a Carolingian empire
D.) This resulted in Catholicism spreading into central Europe much slower than IRL, prolly more paganized than what would be wanted.
E.) the pope also has less influence in the affairs of European states.

Hm...Perhaps a Norse-odox Sweden/Netherlands?

I will repeat myself one more time
NPCs IN EUROPE cannot have more claims added to them.
you can be either Sweden or the Netherlands
(of course IC you can do whatever you want)

I know, but I was trying to figure out the religious/cultural situation of the world, start out as an NPC, become the ultimate colonizer.

Oh my bad then yes it’s fine. You can customize the NPC as much as you like so long it is reasonable
