[Abruzi]

Regarding Comorostan,

You're good, but move your revolution date back a bit, we're starting in the 50s and while we will generally move the timeline forward it won't be the 90s for a while.

Regarding Saint-Nazaire,

To answer the questions about the app,

Real Life Age is there to ensure that content and what not is ok, it's not a major thing.

Calling code is the first number you dial in your country, again not a big issue.

Yeah, both accepted

[Comorostan]

Regarding Comorostan,

You're good, but move your revolution date back a bit, we're starting in the 50s and while we will generally move the timeline forward it won't be the 90s for a while.

Done. Happy to be aboard. Does this mean we're starting with 50s tech, or just getting 60s/70s tech ahead of time and never changing?

It's complicated. Starting with Late-WW2-50s tech, and then it's...Bogged a bit.

Tech is technologically equal to the era it comes from but it's got a rustic look; everything sort of cosmetically stopped. So when we get to the 1990s you'll have planes like the F-4 Phantom that can stand toe to toe with the F-15 but look as ugly as it did back in the day. So on and so forth so as to generate that 'Cold War' feel.

Reason why you want to join? (a paragraph or two should do it) Been looking for a dedicated roleplaying group for a while. II is starting to fill up with noob wars and I have been getting bored explaining to people two barrels on a tank won't work and you can't have twenty missiles on one plane. This looks like a group of people who actually know how to roleplay, so I am applying. That, and Amerika made it, so it must be good

Fluency in English? (Is it also your native language) I speak English, Italian and Slovak. Good enough?
Land(s) Claiming: Italy, Sicily, Corsica, Switzerland and Austria.

[Abruzi]

I'm good with your claim IM, but I'd rather you drop Austria. I mean the Austrian Devils were only beaten out of Italia at the end of World War One and with their union with Hitler's Germany (we do have a WW2 thread going that is cannon) there really is no way I can see Italy holding Austria.

That said if you can present a reason how/why you hold Austria I'd be willing to nod my head and accept it. Est, chime in here mate.

For the record though I'm thinking we should adopt a similar system to Layarteb's E2 with land to pop levels and what not.

1) Didn't know RL had any bearing in here really when it came to land claims
2) I was sorta trying to bring my NS nation into this a bit, and I can't really be an Empire with the Italian Peninsula.
3) I thought since I was claiming Switzerland, Austria would be a good connector for perhaps some trade routes with others and or invasions into the East. If you want, I can drop my claim and go for eastern france or something

Reason why you want to join? (a paragraph or two should do it) [this matters BIG TIME]
Looking to do a new RP, and I like your premise a lot, I've also got some really good ideas for my Nation. So not really sure what else to say other than that, except that I think if everybody keeps up at it it could turn really interesting.

OK, sounds good.

Chimed.

Regarding Land: I agree, Abruzi; we're going to need a system and further more we're going to have to accept; this is for everyone; that people in a multi-billion population empire or federation are going to be crowded. People don't go to war over living space anymore and I don't like the idea of one nation comprising all of Europe because it seriously ****s up the possibility for other people entering the group.

Regarding Italy: Drop Austria and Switzerland and you're accepted.

Regarding Britannia, Canada, A bit of Sweden: Denied; see above as to why I don't want one nation encompassing most of Earth, we've already got one massive power bloc nation that does that. I don't want the group limited because people want massive claims. Also; I'm waiting on a response from someone on a Britannian Nation.

[Itailian Maifias]

No offense Amerika, but I find it unfair I can't have Switzerland but a guy can have Germany and Prussia

[Amerikians]

No offense Amerika, but I find it unfair I can't have Switzerland but a guy can have Germany and Prussia

No offense but you obviously didn't pay attention the fact both claims are from different people. Prussia and Germany are entirely different national entities in this.

[Tristaniano]

So how are we going to start off the IC part of this?

[Amerikians]

So how are we going to start off the IC part of this?

Simple; same way EE or E2 does it, find someone you want to start a thread with, brainstorm and throw it together. Just expect international response. For title tags [So people don't just jump in since this is a world-theme thing.] add FC I suppose for Forever Cold. For now we need to get some details and what not bolted down however so don't do anything too major.

[Itailian Maifias]

Actually Amerika, they were the same person, but whatever, I'll drop Switzerland and Austria.

[Amerikians]

The last time I looked at the individual posts.

Greater-Prussia and Nationalist Germans are two separate people.

Application is pending, Italia, while I give some thought to it.

[Comorostan]

Question: Nukes exist in this universe, correct? Just checking in case Einstein dies early or something in the official timeline, and I intend to RP my state's attempts to get nukes.

[Amerikians]

Yeah, but for political reasons and good-sense reasons no one actually uses them.

[Tristaniano]

Anyone want to thread with the Great Chinese

[Amerikians]

Lets get things bolted down first comrade.

Italy is accepted on a late note.

[Itailian Maifias]

Lets get things bolted down first comrade.

Italy is accepted on a late note.

Thanks

Also, some clearing up, we start with 50's tech correct?

It's complicated. But yes, Late-WW2 - 50s tech is the start; current year is -Checks.- 1951

[Itailian Maifias]

Alright, cool. Know, a few more questions.*Loads Question Gun

Do we advance in tech in this and how?

[Amerikians]

Alright, cool. Know, a few more questions.*Loads Question Gun

Do we advance in tech in this and how?

As time passes [I'm fair with this we don't all have years to commit.] I'll note the passage of time. If you want to develop tech keep it era appropriate; to answer you in a word though; We advance in tech, yeah. How; as time passes.

And one final one, any limitations in the RP? No nukes, no biochem, no napalm, etc?
