CHECK HERE FOR UPDATED LIST OF NATIONS
There may be more nations out there, the only way is to explore!
Any land unclaimed (i.e. White) is treated as barbarians unless specified.
Story: The year is 1500 and the world is at a turning point. What will explores fine in this New World? How will the people of the New World handle this change? That is up to you.
Rules:
No god moding, No meta gaming, and Mods rules are law with Nieblham having final ruling
THERE WILL BE EVENTS
1 IC year = 2 IRL weeks
You must make one post every 3 weeks or be declared in active
A nation that is 3 weeks inactive will erupt in a revolution
Technology advances along IRL timelines, yet players can invest in tech to get it a bit earlier than they might have otherwise.
NPCs will be played/controlled by the mods. If you want any information from the NPCs please ask on the OOC thread.
Read the OP (this post).
Vahn and Grand Adruvain and Cassinopia are mods
Claim Rules:
Black areas are unclaimable.
Must link an image of your claims in your post
No encirclement claims
Claims must be adjacent to each other.
Each IRL week players can post either IC or OOC 4 claims on white spaces (8 claims an IC year) that their nations could access (i.e. by coast line or by land.)
Weekly claims will begin on Friday May 18th IRL
NPCs can make claims as well.
Claims take a while to fully control, take too much too quickly and the empire could collapse.
For claims first come first serve
Claims can overlap (IC disputed border) but no more than 1 province deep.
Each nation is granted a starting bonus depending on their size.
If inactivity is high, the active players can vote to have the time skip forward a bit. This is to let time pass so the world will be different and new. The specifics of how this happen will be determined if it occurs.
OOC THREAD
Bonus (These are permanent even if you grow bigger your starting bonus will remain the same):

30-39 Claims: Military Bonus: One branch of your military can be fitted with extra troops
