1870-1940 Era War: Clean Slate(Open)

[Ruskland-Preuben]

Now for something... A bit different!

Hello, and welcome to 1870-1940 Era War! A grandiose RP set in the Late Victorian Era, more specifically, 1870, spanning all the way to just right before the WW2 Era, 1940, so in total, the RP spans a grand total of 70 years! In those years you can RP many different things, like developing rockets because you placed your tech focus on them, family drama between two monarchies, and glorious battles with more than a thousand words and lasting from either two to even twenty or so posts, or you could post numbers and law changes, no matter what your fetis- thing is, you compile them here to make a masterpiece!

So what are you waiting for? Come on down, and make an app, type furiously on those keyboards, and have an RPing experience of a lifetime, and to those who have joined this RPs previous forms, get over here and guide any newcomers to becoming veterans of this RP! And so I say once more to you all, what are you waiting for? Join us!

I'll make you an offer too! First 2 applicants with 700+ posts, will become CO-OPs, and to get those old timers out, all of those who have participated in this RP's past incarnations, are automatically CO-OPs!

Hall of Remembrance YOU ALL ARE MISSED RP Original Posts: OOC 1 on IC 1(In the Beginning...) OOC 2 and OOC 3 on IC 2(We got to 500!) OOC 4 on IC 3(It drowned...) Posters: Sceoji, blessed be him, for he started this all, and he shan't be forgotten by the masses. His name I plaster here for all eternity, to be looked upon. Aclus, he was with us even before Sceoji started, and thus, I respect him as a brother, and a founding member of the RP. Norcourt, he was older than Aclus, and thus an elder. He also was a consistent poster of the RP. And bless him and his gunmaking skills in the RPs, pretty good looking rifles.

Rules! From Sceoji's words: 1. No million man armies; the year has not been set, but it will be well before the time when any kind of army could hope to supply a million men on the same battlefield. Besides, dysentery is a nasty creature, and overpopulation tends to give it a boon. 2. No controlling other people's attacks, unit reactions, or anything of the like. This is a particular pet peeve of mine and it can ruin a good thread. 3. 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. 3. No name-calling (unless it's IC and pertains to the roleplay, foul language directed at other role-played, or anything otherwise unnecessarily hurtful. Constructive criticism is appreciated; bullying is not tolerated. 4. You must stick to the tech level of the time, though, I may be adding a slight fantasy/other aspect to this depending on consensus. I'm a fair fellow, and will accept ideas. Also, tech that was practical but not widely utilized is STILL considered viable if you can reasonably explain why your Nation defied the trend. 5. No spamming or posting out-of character in the IC thread; we'll either keep this open for out of game chatter, or start a new thread for it later on. 6. Non-human species will be allowed if this goes forward, so long as they have no INCREDIBLY overpowered aspects, or if it is a powerful aspect, it has drawbacks. 7. There will be drawbacks to whatever gear you choose for your men; it's just a fact. You want bullet-proof steel armor? Okay. But your men wearing this must be ENTIRELY immobile, as the weapons of the time were far better at penetration than muskets. 8. 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 rifles. 9. Berserkers are a no-go; you may have similar, or troops of imposing stamina, size, or ferocity but they won't be able to take ten shots from a high-powered rifle and keep on trucking. 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. Also, have fun you wankers!

[Free-Don]

APPLICATION FOR 1870-1940 RP:
Generic Info about your Nation
Nation Name: The New Confederation of The Don Tribal Hosts
Nation Territory: Reinhalt
National History(2 to As Many As You Can): Assuming this means paragraphs-
The Don, a vast super river to which the people and the region are named after, often rips and tears through the sand and clay flats. So consistent is this flood, tearing, and shrinking that it has been used to measure time and punctuate seasons. Making it one of the great focuses of Don culture and folklore. The Don people was in the past a collection of tribes and nomadic war bands under the possession that has been under the influence and active control by much larger empires and powers. Often trading off their cavalrymen and soldiers to fight foreign wars in far off colonies of the region itself serving as a buffer between other colonies or states.

Only recently at the result of a national revival and rising nationalist identity have allowed the Don the true freedom they sought. After decades of insurgencies and then civil war the Nationalist-Confederacy and the Council of War Hosts was made as a centralized military force capable of fighting their imperial chains and burdens. Made original up of criminals, runaways, and vagabond citizens from around the world looking for a place to live the Don provided them a haven for safety. With the establishment of the Confederate Papers of Given Rights have set the backbone for Don feelings of supremacy and furthers many of the war-like aspects of their culture.

Lemme give you some stats
Economy(1-3): 1 Limited by the fact most of the Don is a desert. Their main trade is limestone, clay, and agriculture around the Don river.
Defensive Military(1-3)(your defenses): 3 As a nation that has conscription as part of their cultural norm and horse, camel, ox, and/or donkey riding as not only a past time but as a necessity of life. The desert itself is effectively mapped and many older frontier and colony defenses were revamped since the civil war.
Offensive Military(1-3)(army, navy, air balloon force): 2 Coordination between naval forces, ground elements is extremely advanced for it's time. However, the ability to deploy and experience fighting outside of the Don as a national force is uncommon.
Technology(1-3): 2 The region isn't known for it's ability to create technological innovation. Rather the ability to copy and build off of existing ideas is their strong point.
Reputation(1-3)(aka infamy): 1 As a region known for harboring criminals and aggressive policies against foreigners they are not well received by many.

Numbers and how much
Army(Active): 10,000
Army(Reserve): 20,000
Navy(Active): 10,000
Navy(Reserve): 2,000
Air(Active): 100

I'm a newcomer to RP in general and I'm swtiching over to night time work soon so I might be doing between 4+ paragraphs on average per post. I'll do my best to be consistent.

APPLICATION FOR 1870-1940 RP:
Generic Info about your Nation
Nation Name: Union of Eastern Europe
Nation Territory: Baltics down to Ukraine (including Poland
National History(2 to As Many As You Can): The Polish wanted more land than they had, they struck down the Baltics, then turned to the Ukrainian enclave of russia, and used Hussars and modern gatling guns to scare them back to crimea. They developed some new Muskets and used the Springfield model 1870. They built large Catholic churches around occupied territory, and got in well with the Pope, who supported them. Crusader armour was used in ceremonies, and they built large stadiums like the Greek ones they had read about. The Polish King rebuilt the School system, and started pumping in millions into the schools.

They then started to build large farms for the poor, and formed a parliament like in Britain, but with more power and was elected by people. Nobility ruling everything was frowned upon, and the king became a figurehead, and adopting American Democracy. They also started uniting the people of the Union, encouraging different race marriages. People were getting hopeful, until the king was killed by a assassin, then everything broke down, until the Democratic government took order back and people got better, average but better.

Lemme give you some stats
Economy(1-3): 2 They export a lot of Iron , so they get some good money from that along with they usually sell mercenary units to European nations.
Defensive Military(1-3)(your defenses): 2 As many of NPs defenses are trenches, gatling guns and some traps, and 1841 Model Guns, they aren't the best, but will put up a hard fight against aggressors
Offensive Military(1-3)(army, navy, air balloon force): 3 1/3 of the Ground Forces are Calvary, and 1/3 regular infantry, they are great at charges, as many of the Horseback are trained in the ways of the Hussars, they are experts at calvary charges. They are equipped with the latest weapons, so they are a well trained and equipped ground force. The navy uses Powerful Steam ships so the navy is well equipped.
Technology(1-3): 3 Poland has access to Old russian scholars that passed down knowledge to the future scholars
Reputation(1-3)(aka infamy): 1 They are known to assassinate people they don't get along with a lot.
