[Barfleur]

Nation Name: Barfleur
Our Territory: New Zealand (most of our territory is on another planet, we are currently establishing colonies on earth, of which NZ is the first)
Intentions: We are opposed to the NAS. If war is to occur, we will commit ourselves wholeheartedly to the war effort.

That’s a great map, and I like the projection you’ve used.

So are you aliens?

I never really thought about that. I suppose we are humans, just from a different planet. Earth and Yoodit are in the same solar system, after all.

So you can pass off as human. Would you have any problem with pretending to be humans on New Zealand, but it's just a way to monitor the situation for your home planet. I want to try and make this work, as it could be intersting, but I also want to keep everything grounded/PMT.

Genetically Earth humans and Yoodit humans are identical, except for maybe a slight variation to spice things up. Though if you only want earthlings in your RP, I completely accept that.

It's not that. It's the tech gap. What stops you knocking over the NAS in a day, for example, due to the tech gap considering you can get between Earth and this other planet. And how can anyone 'defeat' you when they might not be able to reach your planet. If you are trying to blend in, to everyone else you are just a normal, maybe a little more advanced, nation.

[The Democratic Soviet Union]

Application

-Nation name: The Soviet Union (for RP purposes)

-Some information about your nation:
A modern Soviet Union set in a timeline where it never collapsed, but instead reformed I to a parliamentary, multi-party democracy. As of 2020, the nation is undergoing seismic political change and by the 2050’s, the Communist Party is theorized to be in firm control of the country, so in this RP, my nation would be a Communist dictatorship. Though historically of super-power status, the modern Soviet Union does not behave hawkishly in foreign policy and is therefore not considered to be a superpower as it does not use its military night to exert its will on the geopolitical arena. The nation moreso relies on the soft-power afforded by its sizeaboe economy and very large military force to built a larger and ever-more interconnected alliances with the world. The nation generally tries to avoid war and so is generally not considered a superpower.

-and what you initially plan to do in the RP:

Being so close, this national-socialist insurrection in North America represents a great danger to the Soviet system and homeland, and so it is in the interest of the Communist Party to suppress this insurrection by whatever diplomatic means possible.

[Enugu League]

WARNING, PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTINUING: This RP deals with subject matters such as anti-semitism, dscriminination, genocide/holocausts, eugenics, and many other disturbing concepts. This RP is not for the easily squeamish, or easily offended, and if you are such a person, please steer clear, for your own safety. Thank you

For those that remain:
Some time in the future (edit: Late 2050's), a nation calling itself the National American Socialists rises up in Alaska. While it's rhetoric echoes that of Adolf Hitler, there has yet to be any concrete evidence to show the leadership committing violent acts to it's populace. However, it does seem that where ever the countries leadership goes, a river of blood follows.

Soon, events will transpire that will cause the entire world to take note of events in this fledging nation. One such nation already a part of these events is the Constitutional Empire of Significance, although it's Emperor does not know this yet....

The fate of the world is in your hands.

Important information:
-My original nation is Significance. I made the National American Socialists (NAS) for the purpose of the RP.
-I use the real world map. The NAS occupy Alaska (as stated before), Significance occupies Australia. Nations that have land that does not exist IRL may join, but must make a map of their territory and say where it is in the world.
- NS stats are unimportant. I prefer talking about power levels. Significance for example is a superpower, like the USA. The NAS, in comparison, are more like a regional power.
-This RP focuses on story over war. Battles can happen, but you must tell a good story first, the consequences of the battles are secondary.

Rules:
No godmoding, make sure to have other players consent when interacting with them, no teleporting, don't just walk over other nations (be too overpowered), it isn't fun and it ruins the story.

Application form:
As you have the freedom the chose to act however you like as events unfold, I ask only of two things.
-Nation name
-Some information about your nation
-and what you initially plan to do in the RP

If I find your response satisfactory, I'll let you join, but I may also ask for more information.

World map (Thank you Snofjogur!):

EDIT: I am now allowing nations the option to have PMT space forces. However, if you abuse this power (say by blowing up all nations satellites that don't have such forces), I will retcon those forces.

We are the Enugu League, an alliance of mostly southern Nigerian armed merchants. We essentially run non-Muslim Nigeria and Sierra Leone. In Nigeria we back the People's Democratic Party and its leader Ms. President Emily Adeyemi who is our puppet.

We are a regional kingmaker behind the scenes so we usually only operate politically and militarily in public through Nigeria, Sierra Leone and sometimes Liberia.

We traditionally mostly have problems with Islamism though recently East Kekistani economic interests in West Africa have become a bit uncomfortable as their companies are dominating more and more of Africa, especially East Africa.

In this conflict we staunchly side with allies against the racist regime of NAS.

I do plan on adding Barfleur, I just want to sort some things out first.

All the credit goes to Snofjogur. They made it single handedly. Very impressive.

Aw, shush, you're making me blush! Look at my flag, we literally can't be any redder!

Honestly I'm pretty bad with technology, so I wouldn't know. That's why I'm so happy you made the maps, makes my life so much easier. Although, I prefer only making women blush, making other men blush is well....not me. I hope that sentence made sense.

You're assuming I'm male. I am, but I never did mention it.

In case anyone's wondering (yeah, right...), here's the flag of Nordland:



It's modelled after the Snofjogurish flag, since the sociopolitical and economic systems and the laws were taken from Snofjogur, while the white borders were added to the red stripes as a tribute to Iceland. The colours symbolise Iceland to the west and Snofjogur to the east: a blue field to the left for Iceland, a black field to the right for Snofjogur, and red stripes where the two meet (red is the only colour the flags of Snofjogur and Iceland had in common).

[Der Grossdeutsche Reich]

Application

-Nation name: The Greater German Kaiserreich (or just Germany)
-Some information about your nation: The Kaiserreich is a Federated Kingdom underneath a Kaiserin (Empress) and a Constitutional monarchy with the Reichstag as the main body of parliament. We are a socially progressive, monarchical Germany (in this timeline, the monarchy was restored after World War II and fully restored after German reunification).
-Plan for the RP: Germany is very much against Nazism and national socialism and will stand against it in a very strong and determined way.

Nation’s territory:

[Pere Housh Alpha]

1. Should a map be done a some point?

Here, I made this. Everyone, please let me know if you'd like anything changed.

(click to enlarge)

A few notes:

1. I tried to split Australia in half fairly both in terms of cities and in terms of territory while preserving province boundaries. Pere Housh Alpha kinda called dibs on Sydney, so they get the eastern half, comprised of the provinces of Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Northern Territory; important cities are New Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Brisbane and Darwin. Significance said they wanted Tasmania, so I've given them that province and the remainder of mainland Australia, which comprises the provinces of Western Australia and South Australia; important cities are Perth, Adelaide and Hobart. Again, though, let me know if you'd like some other arrangement.

2. I've included the island of Kyneland (just west of Denmark) because that NS nation exists in my canon, but it's easy to remove if everyone else wants it removed, seeing as it isn't playing (so far, at least).

3. I've included non-NAS USA because it seems it's going to be important for the game (even if nobody's playing as it).

4. I haven't marked the Second British Republic's overseas holdings, partly because it's a lot of territory (seems a bit OP to me, but that's not for me to decide) and partly because it conflicts with the two other claims we already have for Australia. If WCC wants me to include those holdings (except Australia, of course) and Significance will allow it, I'll add them.

5. I've taken away the holdings of Domina Nostra Nova Terra in what is today northeastern USA to avoid conflicts (so DNNT is currently the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia, Newfoundland & Labrador, New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario). As above, if DNNT wants Maine and the bits of Michigan and Wisconsin that are on their factbook map and Significance allows it, I'll take them from the USA and give them to DNNT.

6. I've taken the Koreas away from East Kekistan because Joseonville had already claimed them as its territory.

Looks good here Significance can have Tasmania but my country also owns New Zealand as well.

For this story we de facto controlled a few Pacific Islands, namely Marshall Islands, Samoa and Palau since our troops moved there as peacekeepers to stop pogroms. The Colony of Africa hasn't been established yet. We haven't taken any part of mainland Southeast Asia or space either.

That is, it was 10 years before East Kekistan adopted anti-Tropicalism as an official ideology, 16 years before the first instance of ethnic cleansing and 37 years before "Detropicalization" meant genocide. For now anti-Tropicalism was a common sentiment that had not yet taken over the nation, sort of like Nazism in 1930.

Sorry, not happening; Barfleur already has New Zealand. (Or negotiate with them.)

So your mainland holdings consist of China, Taiwan, Mongolia and Japan, right? The islands you mentioned are too small to appear on the map; if you really want me to I'll add them, but they'll be out of scale compared to everything else.

-Nation name: The Greater German Kaiserreich (or just Germany)

I'm not trying to be pedantic, just informative; sorry if it comes across the wrong way. The grammatically correct German name for the Greater German Empire would be das Große Deutsche Reich or das Grosse Deutsche Reich (ß is more or less the same as ss). If you omit the article (the, das), it becomes Großes Deutsches Reich or Grosses Deutsches Reich. In every case, you could replace Reich by Kaiserreich and it'd still be grammatically correct (Reich is more common today, but I'm guessing you're going for WW1/WW2 nostalgiarama, hence Kaiserreich, right?).

Sorry for not being active, i will start posting as soon as i can.

[Snofjogur]

Enugu League: Sorry, I took the liberty of making up an agricultural problem for Nigeria (it would make sense for global warming to be worse in the 2050s than it is in 2019, which is already pretty bad, and for agriculture to suffer greatly because of it) which Nordland can fix. Let me know if this is not okay. (Also, if it is okay, feel free to take control of Ambassador Idowu Okereke.)

Does Madossa still own Alsace-Lorraine? Although I would prefer to not be pedantic, I'd think it would be okay with Germany if Madossa was still in control of it (especially considering Kenmoria on most of my west coast, although I am alright with that for the most part.)

Oh, believe me I don’t see you as a pedant at all. Four years of German has led me to loathe my NS name however every way of correctly saying the name was already taken by another nation :/
Furthermore, I’m a fierce proponent of the Eszett, Max Berry however is not. Therefore NS only allows Latin characters in nation names, and therefore my beloved ß could not be included in the name despite my attempts.

Therefore I compromised and gathered the essence of, you are correct in saying WWI-style Germany, at the cost of this ridiculously incorrect name. So no harm no foul, just NS’s stupid rules at their best.

Does Madossa still own Alsace-Lorraine? Although I would prefer to not be pedantic, I'd think it would be okay with Germany if Madossa was still in control of it (especially considering Kenmoria on most of my west coast, although I am alright with that for the most part.)

The map is a bit wonky so to me, it looked like (is the purple one Madossa?) did not extend to the full parameters of modern day France and Spain, and so I therefore felt justified in laying claim to the region in my initial post. However, I have no qualms about relinquishing control of the Elsaß-Lothringen in my map claim in the interest of preventing any out-of-character conflict between us.
