Not another one! :eek: And back to it's original forum!

Seeming as 2 and 3 seem dead, I will begin the 4th one.

History and GDP will be expanded on after the map is finished, one last go at the no history idea.

Rules
1. All Countries must make up ONE, PRESENT DAY WORLD.
2. Smaller the better, but I won't restrict size. Make big empires if you must, but put them in terrible locations i.e. Siberia. I want the world to finish in enough time to let history unfold, but slow enough for everyone to participate that wishes to. I hope you understand what I mean.
3. Feel free to make as many nations as you wish.
4. Do not wank your nation to ASB levels.
5. Flags are fine, but not required.
6. Please post a map, but it's not required. If you don't post a map, then describe your countries location well enough for us to interpret where it is. When using maps, please use the map I used in this OP.
7. Have fun, and be creative. (But not ASB)

My own nation coming up. Please follow something like this format.

OK, I fixed it, but please, if you're not going to post a map, be specific as to its location. (this goes for everyone!) SAY Wales and Cornwall on your post, don't just say Wales indirectly, because that makes me assume Wales is the only territory it owns.

Name: Federated Republic of Texas (scornfully: FaRT, lovingly TEXAS)
Territory: Mexico (south to the Yucatan), Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Colorado, rest of the Central US claimed althought mostly uncontrolled by any of the 3 major nations (GLR, FRT, or Pacifica)
Capital: El Paso
Government: Republic in name, Autocracy in form
Head of Govt: Gov. Gen. John R. Cash (in name) John Carter Cash (in fact)
Exports: Oil, Cattle, Diamonds, Gold, Manufacturing,

Brief History: Texas soldified after the the peace of 1950, led by the leadership of a former sharecropper John Cash. Who along with Texan Chuck Yeager helped solidify certain parts of the Army Air Corps, into the Army of Texas. After Yeager's death in 1955 while leading a successful Parachute attack into Mexico City as part of the first successful combat deployment of Parachutes (think OTL Market Garden Texas Style, except successful) in history. After the Treaty of Veracruz in which Texas gained all of Mexico to the Yucatan with the Yucatan then given over to a resurgent Mayan Empire. As the 60s came around Gov. Gen Cash developed much of the internal infrastructure in the FRT. He built the Trans FRT railroad (St. Louis-Mexico City-Veracruz) and the accompaning expressway in the 1970s. As Gen. Cash ages and turns more power over to his son John C. Cash things are becoming more tumultous internally as Adm. Richard Perry begins to shore up his own support among business men and politicians in FRT (there is no seccession law or even rules for G.G elections in the FRT). This couldn't come at a worst time as Premier Franken begins making expansionist noises to shore up his control in Southern Iowa and in Eastern Montana, both areas claimed rather tenusously by the FRT.

EDIT: I can't do maps I would really appreciate it if some one could fill in Fart's borders.

History: After the collapse of the Qing Dynasty,China fell into turmoil. Losing its northern and southern regions,the Manchu officials had to flee the mainland for their lives. Thus,a new Dynasty took control..ignoring such concepts as "democracy" and seeing it as foreign...the Han Chinese..the largest ethnic group in the country took control. This would be the first time in almost 300 years that the Han would actually control their country. In the mid 1990's,China would annex the former region of Indochina...seeking to exert influence into the region...as well as it being historically part of China.

Oh, and you're allowed to decide that that will be your nation's history, just be first to do histories once the world is filled with nations. The problem with histories is that they eventually don't fit well, and everyone has to edit their own history all over again once the nations are filled in anyways. So please, don't do it again.

Not another one! :eek: And back to it's original forum!

Seeming as 2 and 3 seem dead, I will begin the 4th one.

History and GDP will be expanded on after the map is finished, one last go at the no history idea.

Rules
1. All Countries must make up ONE, PRESENT DAY WORLD.
2. Smaller the better, but I won't restrict size. Make big empires if you must, but put them in terrible locations i.e. Siberia. I want the world to finish in enough time to let history unfold, but slow enough for everyone to participate that wishes to. I hope you understand what I mean.
3. Feel free to make as many nations as you wish.
4. Do not wank your nation to ASB levels.
5. Flags are fine, but not required.
6. Please post a map, but it's not required. If you don't post a map, then describe your countries location well enough for us to interpret where it is. When using maps, please use the map I used in this OP.
7. Have fun, and be creative. (But not ASB)

My own nation coming up. Please follow something like this format.

We need to organize data about the nations. We should start by simply copy and pasting all nation profiles into one post.

We should use that to create:
A map with numbers over each nation and a list telling which numbers represent which nations
A list of nations' main religion and government type
A list of the founding dates, greatest extents, and current borders

The most dominant religion in Indonesia would be Islam. This is because it was the dominant religion in Java, the region with the most of the population. (about 70-80% of the population)

GLR:
Govt: Socialist Republic (OTL European nations)
Religion: Majority Christian, but tolerant of all faiths. 60% Christian 38% Jewish 1% Islam 1% Other
Current Borders are defined in post and are maximum extent

FRT (Texas)
Govt: Military Dictatorship (Capitalist principles)
Religion: Recognizes Jesus Christ as its Lord and Savior
Current Borders reached in 1972 Cash-Stassen Accords.

Brief History:
See my posts for more details
Effectively a Ceasefire between the GLR and Texas recognizing the remaining areas of OTL Montana between Pacifica and the head waters of the Missouri River in ND & SD and South to Omaha as a demilitarized zone under joint authority. On paper: Local govts run their own affairs and any border disputes or issues are decided between GLR, Texas, and Pacifica with Pacifica effectively casting the tiebreaking vote. In practice: since the end of the Omaha Land Fight. Which broke out in 1967 over grazing land and eventually became a fight marked by partisan warfare and old west style shootouts. The Govt of Pacifica recognized the destabilization this was causing and brokered an agreement between the Heads of State: John R Cash and Harold Stassen. (effectively the area is like OTL Kashmir)

Yea sorry about that, I guess while typing it I had a lapse of memory concerning how years are counted in BCE. But the point I was trying to make was that the "history" the modern Khazar state had in tracing its cultural lineage through archeology was quite shaky anyway hence the "(according to ancient scripture)" statement since it usually takes time for folks to completely understand the context of ancient texts let alone if they are incomplete they could be proclaiming true lineage from some kind of folklore of the time.:p

Anyway I shall wait until the right time to post modern Khazaria's and Turktuk's timelines since they are technically intertwined. When I initially started I posted Khazaria's ancient history as flavor but then with Turktuk's former timeline I got a bit serious as I wanted to connect it some way to the afformentioned. So just let me know when I can begin.:)

The powerful Byzantine Empire has sought to bring the Slavs into her sphere of influence since the Dark Ages. For a long time it played the part of OTL Golden Horde in determining the politics of the Balkan and East European tribes. The Varyag influence was thus limited to the northern lands of Novgorod and the surrounding lands, which still did not escape orthodoxization due to the Norse tribes being non-Christian. Later on, Novgorod consolidated as a trade republic and invited princes from both Slavia and Scandinavia to serve as military commanders. The expansion of Novgorod was successful enough to force Sweden and Norway to consolidation. Even after, pirate wars were quite common along the coast of Scandinavia, the aim of Novgorod being to secure trade routes to Europe.

Meanwhile the easternmost tribes of the Slavs did the best to get rid of the steppes peoples with Byzantine aid. The nomads, including Bulgars, Khazars, Pechenegs and Polovtsians, were potential targets for the Islamic Caliphate's religious propaganda, and Byzantium needed a strong ally to confront it. Still, they never meant to make it strong enough, driving the very center of it closer to their borders. The princes of Astrakhan, a city conquered from the caliphate, were the most supported by Byzanthium. Islam, though, still remained prominent in the conquered territories.

Thus, the historical center of the Volgan state (I propose this ethnonym, "Russian" being limited to Novgorod) was the Volga basin and later Urals. The western parts remained largely autonomous and for the most part were engaged into continuous wars with European powers. Volga, meanwhile, was rapidly colonizing (and colonizing means colonizing, not integrating to the empire - they never got the idea) the lands to the East and South-East. After the caliphate split up, this advance continued, culminating in colonizing Alaska and New Guinea in the 19th century.

By this time, though, the Volgan Empire was experiencing more and more social problems. The socialist ideas were quite popular in the Ural industrial region, while Alaska, Siberia, Central Asia and the West had strong separatist movements. The inevitable happened in 1910 when Alaska revolted and cried out for aid to several American states, as well as Japan. This overseas war exhausted the Volgans quite quickly, and after its bitter end (1918 peace of Alexandrovsk granting independence to Alaska, or Volgan America) the revolution broke out. The Imperial armies, cut off by Siberian separatist quasi-states from the center and its supplies, mostly deserted or escaped to New Guinea which managed to secure order. In 1922 the socialists were mostly expelled from the central and western parts of Volga and dug in in the old proletarian states of Urals, forming the Ural Proletarian Republic. By this time the Crimeans, unwilling to send more and more soldiers to fight for the lost cause of Volga, revolted and welcomed Anatolian troops, remaining their satellite ever since. 1924 was the year of first clashes between the Ural Soviets and Mongolian troops, led by a fugitive general Ungern and claiming all Siberia and Far East. In the following year the Urals managed to hold their territory and signed an armistice. The end of Volga as a major power came in 1927 with the consolidation of western separatists and the army-backed Duma deposing the Tsar. Several minor wars were fought between these states in the 20th century, all being indecisive.

I didn't know the artist behind it was an avid user on these forums.;) A private message could have sent on the matter and I would have been more then glad to oblige in giving credit to you as the creator, as I now feel sorry for not giving credit where its (partially since you are using an existing logo but you still brilliantly grafted it) due. However, if you check the link inside the image tag or try saving it the url and filename both show your sudoname. However, lets not go completely go OT into copyright, fair use and other legal mumbo jumbo openly, lets make amends.:o

lol my apologies for sounding like a bit of an arse :p I've just had a trying time of people using my stuff lately - this is minor in comparison with some others out there on the great wide interwebs, lol.

And at least you put it to good use too :D
