It was not Romans, but Greeks & Phoenicians who discovered America and developed ships. What Romans knew about transatlantic voyages, they got it from Greeks.Chrinthania wrote:While Rome may have had the ability to build trans-Atlantic ships, there's a feasibility issue with it being done nearly 5 centuries before the common era. Back then, Rome didn't have the naval power it had by the time they defeated Mark Antony at the Battle of Actium. And Rome wasn't really a naval powerhouse in the strict sense of the term. It had, basically, made a navy upon with soldiers would stand, then fight army style on board ships. The voyage itself would be excutiatingly long for anyone of the time, even if we stretch the imagine owing to this all being a game of pretends and what ifs.

Chrinthania wrote:I love the history, just not certain if it works geographically.
United Kongo wrote:As a suggestion, if you are not to set on America then perhaps Africa could offer an alternate placement as given the Roman involvement in South East Asia and tradition Rome/Greek trade routes East Africa or even West or Central Africa could be potential areas.

Nation Name: The Dictatorship of Beerandboobies.
Claim: All of Africa that is as of now unclaimed.
Population: I dunno? A metric buttload.
Government: A dictator is elected for life in a moot, where all the candidates compete in a beer pong tournament. The current dictator is Jordan Clearlynotanauthorinsert who is really cool and all the ladies love him and his schlong can reach from one end of the beerpong table to another.
History: Once upon a time, Africa was really boring and no one ever stayed there. There were some weird bearded men in the North, a crazy dictator in the South, and some Walmies on the tip (heh.)
St. Dudebroman, the founder of Beerandboobies saw this and felt sad. He began slaying all of the dragons, drinking Natty Ice as he went. When Africa was cleared, he hired door men to guard the shores. Only to coolest bros and the bustiest babes would be allowed in. Soon, Africa was a burgeoning party land full of good times.

Nation Name: The Balto-Wendish Empire [The Balto-Wendish Independence Faction (BIF)]
Population: 60.000 Latvia, 18.000 Estonia, Kalinigrad and Lithuania: 50.000, Danzig and Courland: 100.000. Another 122.000 identifying as "Wendish people" in Eastern Europe. Totalling: 350.000 active sympathiszers.
Languages: German, Polish, Russian and baltic languages.
Ideal location: Areas of the Balto-Wendish culture. The movement puts efforts in declaring the Courland independent.
Government: Transitional. The movement is currently lead by old more-or-less impoverished royal families who form a council. Similar to the Roman senate two consuls share representative leadership.
Leadership: Royal Baltic Consul: Gregor II Mendelburg of Samogitia, Royal Wendish Consul: Pětranc Jagskec of Hrajnca
History: /
Culture: Baltic German and Wendish enthnic groups. Baltic paganism (Romuva) prominent religion. The ideology of the "Empire" seems to be aggressive when necessary, but more interested in diplomatic resolve. Their goal seems to be a goal-oriented commonwealth; a Balto-Wendish union that secures it place in history as a "creating" nation. The leadership plans on uilding monuments and participating in visionary projects that will mark the advance of humankind, rather than actual welfare and socialism as expected from a commonwealth. The BIF believes that a person must be first able to help himself, the "Empire" itself will help the community as a whole by providing deeds that makes the people proud and gives them inspiration, rather than material help. For further information the BIF recommends reading "The Balto-Wendish Mission" by Handrij Wowčer.
Economy: The movement is funded by charity
Military: Former secret police who sympathize with the old families and partisans, diverse militia groups.

The Balto-Wendish Empire wrote:Hello. I made this nation here as i wish to participate with an account that has the sole purpose of representing my country best for this RP. A Modern World seems elaborate and serious enough to justify an additional account.
When I went through the applications it seemed like not too much was claimed, only on the second gaze i realized that there were numerous countires after the account name which are claimed by a single person. It seems that the Baltic and Wendish parts of Europe are already claimed.
May there be a possibility to include my nation as a resistance faction who wrangle for independence? I thought maybe Poland west of the Vistula, squeezed inbetween the other factions might be free- alas it wasn't! Maybe they forgot about Kalinigrad! Oy vey, it was claimed by another nation with the ugliest borders in world history! How about a historically easily differentiable piece of land? The province of Mazovia or Danzig?
Or I go without any claim and RP as a more or less silent undergound movement as mentioned above.
Any ideas how I might join with my idea in mind?

given the seafaring nature of the Wends and Balts on the Southern Baltic coast, it could be possible to perhaps have had a Baltic colonization or at at least Cultural assimilation of the remainder parts of Britain? maybe somewhat similar to Norse/Anglo-Saxon invasions of the island.
As for your resistance idea, I think that would be a lot more to the decision of the countries controlling the areas you mentioned, baring in mind each of them have their own established history different to RL so that may cause a problem.
