Age of Imperialism, Empires, and Expansion
CURRENT MONTH AND YEAR
January, 1843
1 IRL DAY = 1 IC MONTH
Allow me to set the stage.
The year is 1810, on earth, but not our earth, for while the continents are the same, the nations are not. Other nations, some like ours, some so vastly different you don't recognize them. Cultures and Religions like ours, and some totally different. This is Alia Terra, Other Earth. On this "Other Earth", the humans of the Earth have progressed at the same technological rate, but their nations and cultures are some what different.
Often times, you enter a thread and you are thrust into a war. That is not this thread, you can definatly fight wars, but you can also have Diplomatic Relations, establish alliances, conduct trade, create colonies, send spies into other countries, assassinate leaders, host Gala's or Balls, there is very little that limits you here.
Your nation can be based off a Real World/Old World Nation, it can be a Real World/Old World Nation, or you can make a completely new nation altogether.
Want to have a Confederation of Indians spanning Western America? Want to rule a Caliphate spanning North Africa and the Middle East? A giant conglomerate of Europe? Any of these are viable, i only ask that in cases of small area like Europe, one tries to leave space for others.

Rules:
1. I, The Traansval, am the OP. What i say is law, and whoever i appoint as a CO-OP will share this power. However, i will wish to consult the RPers in all matters, for no man rules alone.
2. Try to be realistic. Its the 19th Century, no nation should have a population of hundreds of millions, armies of millions, or automatic weapons (Yes i know, gatling and puckle guns...). If you need help, consult me.
3. Try to keep it civil.
4. No controlling other people's attacks, unit reactions, or anything of the like.
5. No shrugging off enemy actions like they don't affect you; it is okay on occasion to have a counter, or to intercept the enemy's master stroke, but you are not meta, and you will be unable to defend against all their blows.
6. In addition, don't Metagame, which means don't use information you know in OOC in IC. Meaning, if someone says in OOC "I'm gonna invade you", don't immediatly make a post in IC where you prepare for a invasion, when there was no way your nation in IC could know about the attack.
7. No spamming or posting out-of character in the IC thread, keep OOC in the OOC
8. No Non-Human Species....
9. Realistic accuracy and things of that nature; your scouts won't be able to open fire at other troops at 2 miles range, no matter how good they are with their guns.
10. Last but not least, no superweapons. You may design your own weapons if you so feel the need, but I'd prefer images be provided for realism, and you CANNOT have a weapon that can kill an entire army.
So, i have given you all of the resources i have, i have laid out the stage, and i have laid out the rules.
Now, its up to you, to have fun....
