The World 1912-1992! (OOC/Open)

[Liecthenbourg]

It is 1912! and oh boy have we got a show for you! Empires will fall, rebels will take up arms and countries will be split up...but you'll say...this would just be a historical RP? WRONG! Events will take place based on how/and what your country does, but anything can happen!, France and Germany can be allies, countries do not need to be involved at all! etc etc
You will lead your nation through these 80 years of troubled times.
I will probably make it 6 pages is a year, 1 page is 2 months.
Application:
NS Nation Name:Liecthenbourg
Country: France
National Leader(Must be historical): President Raymond Poincaré
Goverment Type: Republic
Strengths(At 1912): A Great power. A good empire with very good land forces and a respectable navy , and the French 75mm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_de_7 ... %A8le_1897
Weaknesses:Bitter hatred towards Germany due to the loss of Alsace Lorraine during the Franco-Prussian War. Generals are stubborn and will not listen to their allies suggestions, sticking to their own ideas unless they can be persuaded

Accepted, but Government type?

[G-Tech Corporation]

NS Nation Name: G-Tech Corporation
Country: Great Russia The Russian Empire
National Leader: Tsar Nicholas II
Government Type: Absolute Monarchy by Divine Right
Strengths(At 1912): The Russian Empire is vast. She possesses population untold, provinces as large as European states, grain production enough to feed most of Europe, unfathomable untapped mineral wealth, and it is the largest empire of all time aside from the Mongol and British Empires, larger even than Rome at its height.
Weaknesses: The Russian Empire is vast. Most of her cities are connected only by railways, news can take a year or more to cross the Empire, modernization has been slow to come to her lands, and of her immense population most still live as agrarians.

Also, Honeydew's weakness seems like a weaksauce weakness, since he has to RP anti-Semitic movements for it to be palpable. May I suggest instead a dearth of local food production?

Righteous, just a constructive criticism.

[Liberated Counties]

We should aim for some accuracy, I say A nations wealth to begin with should be rated out of 100, and in order to Increase that, they must bring in social policies or conquer fresh land to tax.

Starting rate should correlate with historic wealth at the time.

It is fine, feel free to sign up though

Good, and the map doesn't display the total control of Italy over Libya. By 1912, most of modern Libya was under Italian control, with that small panhandle chunk under British control.

The map is confusing, Italy is a dark red whereas the British are a paler tone.
So Libya is yours
