[Imperialisium]

The species is roughly 500,000 years old (evolved to current form anyways).

The only really efficient way (without some lulz advanced tech) is via my Holy Roman Empire example. The Empire is divided into several Electorates and smaller territories. The Electorate's elect from themselves the new monarch when the old one dies. The voters being the Electorate's and religious representative and so forth.

Now the Emperor is superior to the Electors. But the Electors have absolute authority in their domains (the Emperor being the only overlord figure). So the Empire is really the constitutional union of 9 distinct regions.

The Emperor over see's and rules his own Electorate
The other Electors rule their other dominions
Below them the planetary governors and so forth who make up the Imperial Senate.

Its basically power distribution, that keeps the political sphere stable.

Economically the Empire only has basic trade laws that the Electors enforce with their own local ordinances. So the Economic strain is not apparent given the fact that the Empire is at a point where much of its populations are stable (so rampant overpopulation is at a controllable point).

Appearance
Valkuran's look almost identical to Humans. Just taller, capable of interbreeding, possess extendable/retractable canines, eyes glow blue when using their electrical manipulation. So a Valkuran could conceivably pass off as a Human.

Hmm...

Decentralized to make decisions more expedient could be the modus operandi in this

The species is roughly 500,000 years old (evolved to current form anyways).

Okay, so, wait, if the species is 500,000 years old, how old exactly is it's history? Humans in their modern form have been around for something like 125,000 years, but we only have 5,000 years of reliably sourced recorded history. I guess the question that I originally asked was when were the first records written?

Okay, so this is essentially Space HRE. That's not really an issue, but you should know the drawbacks that come with that. Due to its extremely decentralized nature, corruption would probably be rampant (See: Achaemenid Empire decline), the military would be similarly corrupt and weak.

Economically the Empire only has basic trade laws that the Electors enforce with their own local ordinances. So the Economic strain is not apparent given the fact that the Empire is at a point where much of its populations are stable (so rampant overpopulation is at a controllable point).

So, essentially, there are remedial trade laws, but nothing regulating the private sector except whatever an elector says to put in place? I don't want to sound like a skeptic, but that would more than likely lead to economic collapse rather than prosperity.

I hazarded the Valkuran records go back roughly 15,000-20,000 years. However only the recent 10,000 are remotely sophisticated. So basically the older 10k are simply buildings or evidence of some civility. Like cave drawings, megalithic structures beginning to pop up and a few sophisticated cities approaching Greco-Roman levels that where destroyed via natural calamity. Those cities, only crop up 7,000 years before.

Yes it is Space HRE, but much like the RL HRE it is not always rampantly corrupt or weak. For example the early centuries of the HRE it was the powerhouse of Europe (with few exceptions) and experienced several revivals when under a strong monarch. That is why I put in its history that the Empire has already gone through a few large scale downturns and revivals.

There are regulations, but they are just ground work. The Electors add onto that bedrock with whatever the Electorate needs to prosper. The basic idea is so that the Electorate's remain economically competitive to each other and the corporations/companies are kept in check.

its a checks and balances economic system (save more malleable). Which, if anything allows for more prosperity then a simple laissez-faire market (see 2008 financial crisis).

I know it sounds confusing, but it could realistically work, then again everything we discuss is hear say until we are interstellar in RL.

I'm going to go ahead and repost my application for a couple reasons, one is that it's sitting around back on page 77 lost in the sea of posts. The other is that I've modified it quite a bit since it's original inception. Any inquiries into it feel free to ask them.

Nation Name: The Majali Interstellar Theocracy
Government Type: Theocracy
Government Description: The Government is run as a theocracy by the Empress and her closest. The Empress is the Goddess that is worshipped.
National Leader(s): Empress Sariel
Nation Capital: Planet of Alen
Nation Age: 42,000 Years (Species occupied the planet during the time of the Forebears and were their slaves [typically the slaves of the pleasure variety], but no coherent nation existed.)
National Anthem: Black Blade
Nation History:

The Founding:
Approximately 40,000 years ago, the Majali were split apart and were at the largest war they ever had since the Forebears had occupied the system during tribal times. The Majali nation known as the Kerrak faced a major upheaval under a Rebellion leader known as Dira. The Kerrak Government soon fell to Dira, now Empress Dira, and surrendered. Dira then mobilized all of Kerrak's forces and one by one the other nations fell to her. Soon she'd taken control of the entire planet and as such she proclaimed the new nation, now global, to be The Theocratic Kingdom of Alen.

The Middle Age:
Over the course of 40,000 years the Theocratic Kingdom flourished. During this time the Majali continuously evolved and at some point, as some records are lost, the Majali began to travel into space. They Colonized the two other planets in their solar system, Erdea and Monius, and the current Empress, No longer was it Dira as she had long died, declared the nation to now be The Majali Interstellar Theocracy. Despite this and the technological revolution that occurred during this time Faster Then Light travel still eluded the Majali and as such they still had no contact with anything other then themselves.

Current Era:
Empress Sariel seized the throne of the Theocracy in the year 2180 and proclaimed herself Goddess. The people of the Theocracy accepted this, whether because they felt this to be the truth or simply because they did not want to upset the balance and prosperity is unknown, and it continued to flourish. 25 years later in 2205 the lead scientist of her research division completed and successfully tested the Warp Drive. The Gravitic Slipstream Drive, sometimes referred to only as the Slipstream Drive, is a complex technology that allows the Majali faster than light travel. The Slipstream drive, like most other technologies of the Majali, make use of both Quantum Fields and Gravitons. Whenever a ship activates this drive energy is channelled into the Navigational Array at the front of the ship and infused with Gravitons. Once the Navigational Array reaches saturation it focuses the graviton-infused energy into a Gravitic Quantum Field at the front of the ship to tear through the quantum barrier. The purpose of the gravitons is to ensure a stable field that would not require constant recalculation of phase variance while the ship is travelling. The Divine Armed forces use the Gravitic Modulation Maneuver Drive for sublight travel. The Slipstream Drive has a maximum speed of 20 LY/day and the average cruising speed, depending on the ship, anywhere from 16 LY/day to 20 LY/day. (I will most likely typically use 18 LY/day unless in wartime or under emergency circumstances.)

Alen, Capital Planet of the Theocracy. Houses the Divine Seat in the Capital city of Thyr. Alen houses a city known as Sovani which is the research capital of the Empire and outside of that participates in Arms Manufacturing (Including Ship Building and Research and Technology) with minor amounts of food production. Alen has the largest amount of shipbuilding facilities. Highly defended with Orbital Platforms and Surface to Orbit Weaponry.

Erdea is the Second Most populated Planet, it houses many research facilities and is the largest food producer of the 3 planets.

Monius is the commerce capital of the Theocracy. It's a beautiful planet with a fantastic climate. It's a huge tourist and trade destination.

Military Information:

Military Doctrine: Commanders in the Divine Armed Forces have a wide range of preferred tactics however most Commanders opt for a Hard and Fast Approach, not unlike a Blitzkrieg type of tactic, and Majali Military Technology complements this well.
Military Strengths: The Divine Armed Forces are relatively balanced but slightly favoring in offensive strength. They are also fast, both in sublight and FTL. Ground Forces use personal Quantum shields and are highly proficient at close range combat.
Military Weaknesses: Longevity. The Divine Armed Forces are not as effective in a drawn out battle preferring to end the battle quickly. Quantum Shields, while strong, can also be overloaded quicker then one might think via sustained Capital Ship bombardment. Ground Forces rely on Quantum Shields and therefore wear mediocre armor. These shields, at the personal level, are also relatively easy to overload and bring down with high energy weapons, be that railguns or large plasma guns. Ground troops are also not as effective at longer ranges, preferring to use their Melee weapons when possible, and are therefore susceptible to long range weapons like Sniper Rifles etc.
Major Industries: Arms Manufacturing/Shipbuilding, Science/Technology, Tourism.
Foreign Policy: The Majali are a shrewd, cunning, and self interested species and their foreign policy reflects this. They aren't interested in deals that don't involve something for them and may consider such pacts insulting. The Majali also are opportunists and so one should watch their back. The Majali are self confident as well and as such intimidation is used as a tactic and intimidation works poorly against them in the diplomatic arena and will most often result in the other party being mocked out of the diplomatic arena.

Species Name: Majali
Physical Description: The Majali look to be Humans but have a demonic look to them typically sporting demonic horns varying in size, skin tones ranging from pale to violet to red, and a spaded tail. They also possess piercing Golden eyes.
Average Lifetime: 200 years. There are also a few that are immortal from age which are at any time the current Empress, The Duchess, and no more then 2 or 3 other close advisors. They can still be killed by anything else of course.
Respiratory Gas: Oxygen though not as much as a human needs.
Reproductive Cycle: Majali are capable of crossbreeding with other humanoid species through sexual intercourse, though they are incapable of producing male offspring. The introduction of the male chromosome to a Majali offspring usually leads to a miscarriage during pregnancy, for an unknown reason. Though while the Majali cannot reproduce males, they are still quite capable of reproducing as a Majali female can still fertilize the egg of another Majali female due to Genetic modifications made to them by the Forebears. It is unknown why the Forebears decided to do so though some speculate that it is because the Majali are quite adept at certain...practices.
Natural Abilities: Astral Projection is the unique ability of the Majali, It allows them to communicate through telepathy with each other. The stronger (and typically higher ranked, least in the Divine Armed Forces) can also manipulate other Majali. The Gene known as The White Sentinel (TWS) is responsible for this, it also enables a Majali to be quite a bit more agile then a human and a High Level of Intelligence. Strength is typically no more then an average human's and they are also more fragile if hit with large amounts of force. The Majali also have two vision types, an infrared vision and a normal human-like spectrum vision. This gives them an edge but conversely bright flashes of light can more easily incapacitate a Majali's vision for a time especially if they are in their infrared vision type.
Diet: Omnivore
Possible Genetic Defects: Majali cannot give birth to males and if TWS evolves incorrectly while in the womb, the offspring can be born with permanent blindness.
Additional Information:
The Gene known as The White Sentinel is a genetic mutation as the result of evolution on Alen because the star it orbits (Tariel) emits far more Positrons and Gravitons then most stars.

[Equalsun Empire]

[spoiler]Nation Name: The Eldenian Empire
Government Type: Aristocratic Monarchy
Government Description: – Not sure if this is actually a government, but the governmental ladder is topped by the Emperor, Equalsun. Directly under him are his extended family, some 50 of his brighter family and skilled friends (those relatives that never came over for Christmas weren’t invited to rule). Equalsun has a final say in all issues that he can get to, but as the issues of the Empire’s three planets are too numerous for him to deal with alone, his family takes care of cases that are too minor to get to (think Napoleon).
National Leader(s): Equalsun, Eliana (Stewardess of Compassia), Veris (EEAF Grand Admiral, steward of Continua)
Nation Capital: Eldenia: http://www.nationstates.net/nation=equa ... /id=350567
Nation Age: Approximately 1542 years
Nation History: The Eldenian Empire was founded at the end of Corporation War Five, which was the final showdown between the seven most powerful shipbuilding and energy production companies over who was to be the dominant force over the Eldenian people. However, a rebel group seeking to bring ordered government to the people subdued the victor, weakened by the conflict. This, of course, was Equalsun. He then used his new power, and the affection of the people, to create the great city of Eldenia. When the city was still just two rings around the anomaly, the Eldenian people were drawn into a war with a roaming Menneske faction over rights to metal-rich asteroids near the system. Though they triumphed, the Eldar were reduced to a population of 3 billion, and the majority of their colonies were destroyed. Withdrawing to their great city and only core colonies, they slowly rebuilt their power, it steadily increasing with the production of Eldenia. In the year 1024, after 800 arduous years, they repopulated the ruined outer colonies. This led to a war with the militant Ruuk’Hon, and once again the Eldar were driven back to their innermost defences. Equalsun then authorized Project Halosphere, which directed the production of the battlestation fleets and laid down the tactics and doctrine used today. The only other event to happen since then is the Music Civil War, but that’s not something the Eldar like to talk about. Now, at long last the city of Eldenia has been finished, and the Battlefleets Valiant, Guardian, Exile, DS9, and Star have proven brutally effective in a one-sided war against the Kovaki. It’s time to rejoin the galaxy.

The Eldenian Navy is the most expensive and best-equipped branch of the EEAF, or Equalsun Empire Armed Forces. Designated NavCom, it boasts mobile battlestations, personalized fighter craft, and an array of support vessels.

Equalsun Empire Navy Battlestation
Diameter, Halo - 5 Km
Diameter, Sphere - 1 Km
-The flagships of the EEN, Battlestation's are designed to plunge into the center of a battle, spewing weapons fire in all directions. Their general design is a sphere surrounded by a halo, the sphere being the command center and the halo being where the weapons and fighters are kept. The halo's main armament is two energy projectors that wrap around the entire ship. Each is slanted thirty degrees away from the other, allowing them to fire upon all angles except directly underneath and above the command center. They also contain multiple torpedo bays, which store large amount of energy in a ball and then fling the resulting projectile at enemy assets, generally capital ships and large ground deployments. The halo is also responsible for containing approximately 100 Eldar pilots and their attack craft. It is defended by a rotating shield mechanism that is very effective against directed energy weapons, but almost completely useless against ballistics. The inner sphere, meanwhile, contains all essential systems and all commanding staff (besides squad leaders of ground and fighter forces). It is equipped with a single energy projector, much less powerful than it's halo counterparts. It boasts a seperate rotating shield and an entire five meters of Starsilver armor.

EEN Battlecruiser
Length - 2.5 Km
Beam - 1 Km
-When push comes to shove, the talons of an EEN Armada are the Battlecruisers. Considerably smaller than the Battlestations, they remove the size by sacrificing the strike craft and warp core of the larger ship, along with some defensive and offensive features. Sporting four energy projectors running horizontally along the beam of the ship and four torpedo bays, they are a force to be reckoned with in the front, though vulnerable in the back, which is out of the torpedo's radius of fire. For defenses it sports a powerful rotary shield, underneath which rests three meters of Starsilver armor. It is almost useless in planetary bombardment. However, the final touch to these demi-capital ships is the Antimatter Thrust Cannon, lovingly called "The Battlecannon" by their crews. This device combines matter and antimatter in a compartment at the back of the ship, which surges towards the front gathering energy until it finally erupts out the front in either a spray or directed beam.

EEN Corvette
Length - ~20m
Beam - ~10m
-The "strike craft" of the EEN, these small ships are actually just an Eldar in different armor. And with a lot of weapons. Composition and armament vary wildly with these ships, as an Eldar pilot is allowed to customize their ship to their heart's desire, as long as they can still kill things. However, the standard armament for a Corvette is two energy projectors and two torpedo bays, with a singularity shield and half a meter of Starsilver armor.

EEN Prowler
Length - 300m
Beam - 100m
-The stealth cruiser of the EEN, these smallish ships specialize in technical espionage, deployment of high-level operatives, and slipping through enemy lines undetected. Their only armament is a single energy projector, but they boast mutirotational shielding, a state-of-the-art cloaking device from visual and some nonvisual means, and a short-range teleporter, capable of inserting and retrieving biotic and abiotic organisms from up to one kilometer away.

EEN Destroyer
Length - 1Km
Beam - 650m
-The proverbial "Tank" of the EEN, these medium-sized ships boast amazing defensive capabilities. With a full ten meters of Starsilver armor, rotational shields, and a "panic shield", these ships are always in the middle of combat. Offensively they sport three energy projectors and six torpedo bays.

EEN Frigate
Length - 500m
Beam - 200m
-The most common combat vessel in the EEN is, of course, the all-encompassing Frigate. With two energy projectors and a single torpedo bay, these vessels rely on numbers to take down anything larger than another frigate.

EEN Transport
Length - 300m
Beam - 150m
-This lumbering hulk hardly deserves an explanation. Armed with an energy projector, it ferries troops and supplies from planet to planet.

Alen houses a city known as Sovani which is the research capital of the Empire and outside of that participates in Arms Manufacturing (Including Ship Building and Research and Technology) with minor amounts of food production. Alen has the largest amount of shipbuilding facilities. Highly defended with Orbital Platforms and Surface to Orbit Weaponry.

Erdea is the Second Most populated Planet, it houses many research facilities and is the largest food producer of the 3 planets.

Monius is the commerce capital of the Theocracy. It's a beautiful planet with a fantastic climate. It's a huge tourist and trade destination.

Military Information:

Military Doctrine: Commanders in the Divine Armed Forces have a wide range of preferred tactics however most Commanders opt for a Hard and Fast Approach, not unlike a Blitzkrieg type of tactic, and Majali Military Technology complements this well.
Military Strengths: The Divine Armed Forces are relatively balanced but slightly favoring in offensive strength. They are also fast, both in sublight and FTL. Ground Forces use personal Quantum shields and are highly proficient at close range combat.
Military Weaknesses: Longevity. The Divine Armed Forces are not as effective in a drawn out battle preferring to end the battle quickly. Quantum Shields, while strong, can also be overloaded quicker then one might think via sustained Capital Ship bombardment. Ground Forces rely on Quantum Shields and therefore wear mediocre armor. These shields, at the personal level, are also relatively easy to overload and bring down with high energy weapons, be that railguns or large plasma guns. Ground troops are also not as effective at longer ranges, preferring to use their Melee weapons when possible, and are therefore susceptible to long range weapons like Sniper Rifles etc.
Major Industries: Arms Manufacturing/Shipbuilding, Science/Technology, Tourism.
Foreign Policy: The Majali are a shrewd, cunning, and self interested species and their foreign policy reflects this. They aren't interested in deals that don't involve something for them and may consider such pacts insulting. The Majali also are opportunists and so one should watch their back. The Majali are self confident as well and as such intimidation is used as a tactic and intimidation works poorly against them in the diplomatic arena and will most often result in the other party being mocked out of the diplomatic arena.

Additional Information:
Technological Bases: My own, Endless Space, Variety of Other Things.
NS Activity: High, Mostly Daily.
RP Experience: 6 years of Rping at various places with various settings. I've also GM'd (for lack of a better term) for a couple Forum RPGs. On NS I have, despite my long membership time, not gained much forum RP experience with NS players primarily due to threads dying out, and in one case my own herp derp.
Map Claim(s): - Leave this blank for now, until we have completed the map. -
Map Colour: Pink

Species Name: Majali
Physical Description: The Majali look to be Humans but have a demonic look to them typically sporting demonic horns varying in size, skin tones ranging from pale to violet to red, and a spaded tail. They also possess piercing Golden eyes.
Average Lifetime: 200 years. There are also a few that are immortal from age which are at any time the current Empress, The Duchess, and no more then 2 or 3 other close advisors. They can still be killed by anything else of course.
Respiratory Gas: Oxygen though not as much as a human needs.
Reproductive Cycle: Majali are capable of crossbreeding with other humanoid species through sexual intercourse, though they are incapable of producing male offspring. The introduction of the male chromosome to a Majali offspring usually leads to a miscarriage during pregnancy, for an unknown reason. Though while the Majali cannot reproduce males, they are still quite capable of reproducing as a Majali female can still fertilize the egg of another Majali female due to Genetic modifications made to them by the Forebears. It is unknown why the Forebears decided to do so though some speculate that it is because the Majali are quite adept at certain...practices.
Natural Abilities: Astral Projection is the unique ability of the Majali, It allows them to communicate through telepathy with each other. The stronger (and typically higher ranked, least in the Divine Armed Forces) can also manipulate other Majali. The Gene known as The White Sentinel (TWS) is responsible for this, it also enables a Majali to be quite a bit more agile then a human and a High Level of Intelligence. Strength is typically no more then an average human's and they are also more fragile if hit with large amounts of force. The Majali also have two vision types, an infrared vision and a normal human-like spectrum vision. This gives them an edge but conversely bright flashes of light can more easily incapacitate a Majali's vision for a time especially if they are in their infrared vision type.
Diet: Omnivore
Possible Genetic Defects: Majali cannot give birth to males and if TWS evolves incorrectly while in the womb, the offspring can be born with permanent blindness.
Additional Information:
The Gene known as The White Sentinel is a genetic mutation as the result of evolution on Alen because the star it orbits (Tariel) emits far more Positrons and Gravitons then most stars.

This looks good.

Equalsun, I'll get to yours in a bit.

[Equalsun Empire]

Awesome!

[Samarian Imperium]

Tag. I'm going to apply, just need to finish application.

[Nationalist Tantalus]

Am I the last survivor? (((

[The United Remnants of America]

Am I the last survivor? (((

No?

[Equalsun Empire]

I still haven't been accepted ;-;

[Northwest Slobovia]

Still here.

[Ralnis]

Still here.

Second.

[Imperialisium]

Third

[Transoxthraxia]

I'm still "here", but this second semester of university has been much more challenging than I thought it would be. Nevertheless, it is my responsibility to figure this stuff out and find a balance between academia and my other, self-borne responsibilities. Since you guys have proven time and again to be relatively resilient fellows, I'll definitely stick with it. I think the original reason that I stopped posting in the Tumulatus thread was because I was waiting for Arcerion and then I was dogpiled by work everywhere.

NT, I ower you a post, certainly, and I'll get a Post thrown towards Tumulatus either today or tomorrow. Today I've got a social commitment that I've been looking forward to for awhile so I'll be tied down with that for most of the afternoon, but once I get home I'll likely be able to post.

Thanks, guys, for sticking around. Sorry about my erratic levels of commitment.

The Ral'vice will have their dark matter guns and plasma cutlasses ready for action( and hopefully find some claim to them being a pre-Forebear civilization).

Alh.! School has been busy for me as well. I'm glad to know that we are all okay. )))

Addendum: And the Tantalans will be ready with their global surface-to-aerospace defense system and residential Salusian backstabbers allies.

There's no way that the Arkhadyans and the Tantalans to have any good relations?

I mean, a Cold War between the Salusians and Arkhadyans. Tantalus would make for a fine battleground... Bribe Levik Emomalli with a sufficiently attractive wife, and he ought to call off any alliance with the Salusians (He wants an heir.).

[Senkaku]

This is still a thing?


Damn.


I should come back.

[Senkaku]

Assuming I do come back, should I come back as the Amiiri, or as a Manchu/Mongol-esque race of reptilians ruling over a British Empire-type polity?
