Heh. Decent move.

Note on GBG; I encourage people to add their own chapter and regarding foreign relations and strengths/weaknesses; be balanced. Relations can change of course regarding your actions with other nations.

[Tristaniano]

Woah the Empire of Italian has a larger population then China?

Reason why you want to join?: Well I'm a part of this world in the long run and have been here a while before it was a group. For the second I've been looking for a group that isn't encompassed by super-self-sustaining nations completely unaffected by one another and this presents that field perfectly.

Describe your nation in a paragraph or two: The United States of Greater Mexicania is an aftermath states of the Mexicanian Empire which fell in the 1700s; at one time they were a close ally to Amerika but have since been driven further away. As a regional power Mexicania holds political weight in South America and is relatively unaffected by the Cold War.
Land Claims: I believe I'm on the map already.

[Abruzi]

Accepted, obviously.

[Amerikians]

Woah the Empire of Italian has a larger population then China?

Apparently...We're going to have to work out populations eventually.

[Tristaniano]

1.8 billion?! On just the peninsula? Something sounds fishy.

[Amerikians]

1.8 billion?! On just the peninsula? Something sounds fishy.

Overpopulation in a relatively small area slaughters economy and then some. Something people don't realise I don't think.

[Tristaniano]

I mean China has about 10X the size of Italy and 1billion is a lot for us

It shouldn't be that hard. Just google the population of the country you want your territory to be and do some simple math.

[Itailian Maifias]

Well, I sorta gave my pop for the lands I claimed until Amerika made me downsize them. I can reduce the pop

[Amerikians]

It's your call whether you reduce further or not. Just remember there will be serious repercusions for such a large population in such a small space.

A Note: Not every nation on Earth can have a population of billions. Period. I would infact like to see millions/hundreds of millions at the most with the exception of the USR because it's a Union-State and one gargantuan country formed through many others, and China because well; China has always had more people than God has Angels.

Can I reduce it?

I was thinking 500 million

I don't see why you couldn't. It's your nation after all. Well; 95.1% of it is.

[Neua Egypta]

Another point is it's 1950, not now, so populations are a lot smaller then now, as technology isn't the same to allow such larger populations.

1951 technically but he's correct all the same.

Well, I have my own little plot of sand in the middle east. Exactly what would be a good modern population?

[Neua Egypta]

Sand isn't well suited for feeding a nation.

[The Nuclear Fist]

Sand isn't well suited for feeding a nation.

Well, take a look at the middle east. See how well people thrive? Obviously they're doing something right in agriculture.

[Neua Egypta]

The best suggestion I can give you is to use this site: http://www.populstat.info/, and take a look at populations for nations in the 1950s

Oil.

Examples of Previous RPs (links please): viewtopic.php?f=25&t=88472 (on-going RP)
Reason why you want to join?:

This RP caught my attention just by looking at the name. When I clicked on the link and read the very well detailed OP, I immediately knew that I wanted to join this RP. This RP provides me with my primary interests in RPing, using late WWII technology to early 50s technology at the start. I have also been looking for an RP that I could use to help improve my own RPing. After seeing the great RPers that joined this, I knew that this thread could help me improve my skills.

Real-Life Age? 17, but I have read gruesome things for school, it won't be a problem.

Fluency in English?: I am fluent in English

Describe your nation in a paragraph or two:

The Democratic Republic of Minnysota is a compassionate nation that holds civil rights as one of the most important issues. Minnysota also practices regulated-Capitalism to help shape the economy to what the people want. Minnysota is also a very safe nation, protected by the technologically advanced military they operate, and the large police force guarding the typical Minnysotan every day. Education is well-rounded in Minnysota, helping people from students to criminals who need rehabilitation.

Minnysota is a very globablized nation. It exports many of its products and outsources few jobs compared to the amount of jobs foreign nations send here. Diplomatic ties with far nations help us maintain a globalized status, as our sphere of influence has consumed the nations that are between our allies and the mainland. Minnysota is a semi-interventionalist country. However, Minnysota rarely intervenes when the nation(s) involved have little to no Minnysotan influence.

To sum everything up, Minnysota is a democratic nation that is ruled by a fair ruler that always delivers on important issues and never overlooks the small ones. Minnysota is an economically powerful nation, and the economic growth continues to shock our neighbors. Protected by the Republican Armed Forces, Minnysota is a nation to be reckoned with.

Regarding what side I will be on, I would like to be in a situation like Japan where I am in the East but I'm on the West's side.

[Amerikians]

Re-fill it out and try again. The Atlantic isn't 7,289 nautical miles at it's widest point.
