Well I think map update gets us up to speed enough to kick this off. So the lot of you maybe begin when you want. Remember, I want to see some nice posts here. Also keep in mind don't interact with the other "respected" nations quiet yet. Some of them (minus Persia and Turkey and Finland) are sort of on reserve.
Once their owners get around, they'll be clear for whatever you want to do.
We'll also start the clock here at May. Nice Spring month. Change of month won't occur until Page 10 (until of course we can re-calculate) by my count.
I could "resupply" you back with the Chinese re-mods. I have the name of them somewhere... Something Mongolian...
Naw, I was a-jokin. I think it's best to start out with little vehicle forces. Expansionist India is going to have a tough time of it, and I doubt China would favor such a nation anyways.

It has been since time immemorial that man has looked to the stars in wonder, so I ask you, how can going to them be anything but an extension of a will older than any of us? It is our very nature to discover, and to lust for knowledge, you accept this but doubt the nobility of working to the stars?
Well I am very interested in this alternative history RP, from what I've seen it looks like technology is from the 1920s, science is from 1890s and society is... somewhere.
Well as I'm unsure as to how things will pan out and I'm what you call 'an up-start', I'd like to play as the Spanish colonial possession of Mauretania. Thus leaving all foreign and military affairs with my colonial master :tongue.gif:.
Quick question, when you say "Story-written narrative, dialogue, and all of that.", what perspectives are you looking for? Am I meant to be a leader or reporting my actions through a newspaper or chit-chat between a couple of people?
Also are we allowed to fill in a few historical & political blanks or is everything set in stone?
(Edit: I've just saw your second post, the forums had lagged out
Nation- The Spanish Colonial Possession of Mauretania Leader- Governor Péreno Peredéz Faction Type- Colonial Occupation and civil administration unit.
Backstory/Bio - Spain has always had an invested interest in the politics of it's close neighbours in North Africa. However post-1914, Spanish interests had been more about the acquisition of a politically stable source of oil for the growing and modernising Spanish economy.
The Mauretanians on the other hand weren't doing as well. There economy had stagnated for decades and were still using 19th century military strategies and weapons. The residents were extremely moralist Muslims and followed Sharia law from the high court to the magistrates court. A far cry from the liberalised Europe.
The first move came when Spanish oil corporations began probing the region for oil in the early 50's. Originally, the then-government was supportive of encouraging the oil industry for the glory of Spain in return for tax & trade revenues. However changes in the political climate put an end to the lucrative deal and in move to secure their assets, forced a change in government more friendly to Spanish involvement in the country. The Spanish occupied the major cities along the cost. Eventually leading to the forced resignation of the Mauritanian government and the establishment of a colonial office with direct links with Madrid. Mauritania's time as an independent state, was over.
From the 60s onwards, Mauretania has largely been considered a back water in Spanish affairs, whose attention has been more focused on Europe. Political changes in Spain prior to 1975 have meant a new governor has been installed, the liberal minded Governor Péreno Peredéz, his predecessor took a very laissez fair approach to the local populace. The Governor wants to make his name, bring his territory into the 20th century and be a colony Spain can be proud with.
I'mma need to correct you on the oil bit. The Spanish didn't start probing until the 70's in the RP. Unless Gorgen made a post discussing earlier ventures I 'unno.
If he gets his ass un-dead-ed we'll see. First time someone's signed on as a region loyal to another state, but still wishes to be loyal to that state. If Gorgen doesn't wake up in a few days I'll let you in and we can work out any inconsistencies when Spain gets over here.
In the meantime, if you want to trudge through close to two-hundred pages worth of posting there's the Second Gen OP. I got the link up there. That is if you want to get the feel for it.

That I did. Communist friendship isn't uncommon in today's governments. Best wait until the faction's a bit well known.
I'm trying to avoid saying the word 'no', so pushing it's not going to help. >.<
I'll wait until you blow up a few things, then investigate, then contact.

Northerners... its always the Northerners...
I swear if i have to fill my sheet out again, i think we all know i am Unstable-Isotope and i played as the NWC and so on and so on.
And no i don't blame Canada, i blame America for blaming Canada.
'trying to get on my good side' is not the same as trying to prevent a national war that would lower opinions of the both of us.

You did what you're supposed to at the least. IF you want to go further you could get your Fact Sheet. I forgot if you had one.

Eh, it's not needed. But if you could haul it over and finish it it would be nice.
