Continent of Eropid

Attican Empire
16-06-2004, 05:19
Me and several other nations have created a continent (not political region, physical region, people in it can have wars, etc) called Eropid for streamlined RPG.

This is the continent as we speak:

http://www.kuattech.com/kh.jpg

If you are added to the continent, you receive the following:
- A finalized, accurate map.
- Vital information such as borders, and your land area.
- Streamlined RPG, especially with other nations that are on the map.

If you wish to be added, please telegram me.
You must should include the following information. Anything marked with a * is required.

*Name of Nation
*National Language
*Capital City, and other major cities, in your language
-If you have one, a current map for me to work off of

-- Or, you could just reply here. Either way I will get the information :)

Note: There are 3 side maps to go with that political map:
- Terrain Map, includes... terrain.
- City Map, includes cities, urban areas, and other points of interest.
- Flag Map, includes flags on the map.

Now, you may be wondering: "Hey, what if one of the nations is deleted? Then what?"
Once a nation is deleted, if they do not reactivate within 10 days, their territory will be considered "open" to the people bordering it. If it is an island, anyone. Of course, I would recommend, in this event, that nations work out some type of peace treaty over the event.

"Are wars allowed within the continent?"
Of course. Being part of the continent of Eropid does not make every member an ally or anything. It just declares a physical position for a country in the world.

"A nation from outside the continent attacked me. Help!"
Technically, this would be nothing special. However, if a nation took or attempted to take territory on the nation, it is likely that most members would attempt to intervene, simply because it is more difficult to roleplay a war against a nation that you DO NOT know the location of and actual facts about terrain both between you, your own, and theirs exists, relative to one that is located on the continent.

Appended a mini-FAQ.
Aori
16-06-2004, 05:48
Interesting; I wish the Aorian Pacific could be added. Would it be possible to fit it in there as a huge archipelago (along with the Hachniosu Steppes, a "colony" region)? I would be ever-so-grateful, as I've been meaning to Role Play some in a physical sense.

Some Info on Aori: Aori's history, in short, has been without turbulence. To make it really short: a few people came over from Japan in its first days . . . quick revolution . . . modernization . . . amazing neutrality in WWII . . . close to the year 3001 technology (it's, old) . . . population and raw-material problems . . . PRESENT! Its geography is, well, archipelago. Aori's islands are rather small, but they stretch over most of the Pacific. Mostly sub-tropical vegetation and climate too. Cities tend to cover entire islands, and there are other that are virtually untouched by the government at all! There are no cars like there are in most other countries, and mass transit is indeed the only way to go.

Although Japanese used to be the official language, it has since been switched to English. The capital is New Kyoto, though there is some debate about moving it to a less congested island and rebuilding the facilities from scratch. The government is based on the United States (bicameral legislature, president, etc), and there are more elected females than males. However, greedy politicians have taken control of a few aspects of the government and made deals with despotic, foreign lands. Aori is EXTREMELY advanced in terms of techology and science. Although nuclear power was the most used form of energy until recently, new solar-powered sattelites beam energy to the islands in the form of microwaves now. The navy, once small, has now grown quite large, and there are NO tanks in the island garrisons. A single soldier is more formidable than a tank in Aori; thanks to various advances in robotics and visual displays. Aircraft and helicopters are nuclear powered, and meltdown is prevented with the aid of fire-proof coverings on the Uranium rods. Aori also has many space-based facilities and operations; namely laser sattelites that can kick the crap out of enemy bases and navies. Missiles are also a heavy military investment.

(PS: I'll write about Hachinosu later, if I'm accepted)

Major cities of Aori:
New Kyoto; Population: 45,500,000 (It's the largest city-island; center of the archipelago)
Banjaku; Population: 10,000,000 (small, dormant volcanic island with huge skycrapers, northern edge and gets lots of snow)
Chouku; Population: 3,500,000 (same as Banjaku, only tropical and farther south)
Chakushu; Population: 11,000,000 (mountainous, sky-scraper filled city with decadent, rail-gun launched spacecraft launch pad, now a museum)
Bunkoujou; Population: 30,000,000 (nearly overcrowded, nearly polluted island with factories in every inch)

Castitus: New nation; pristine landscape and minimal population. I wish it said population 1,000,000 instead . . . Roman-esque architecture, very Utopian society and no markets open to foreigners (save for tourism). Founded by a group of wealthy Americans and funded by Aorian naturalists. Many of the islands, and most of the non-sentient inhabitants are actually artificial! Though there is a lot more manual work involved, there are very many jobs in medicine and leisure is based on lots of sex. In fact, the latter is what Castitus is famous for; and it has led to no stumble in gender equality either (which is indeed suprising). Both men and women are scantily clad, and tolerance of orientation is stressed to every man and woman. Immigration, is also VERY limited. No military, and not much else. There is only one notable, "city" and that is the capital of Aura.

Q: Can you own land on Eropid if your homeland is somewhere else?
Attican Empire
16-06-2004, 06:03
Your nation would have to be on the map somewhere. If you are somewhere else, I could extend the map for, say, islands that are elsewhere. That would take me a while, and I would have to make two separate maps. (One huge map including Eropid and nations away from Eropid, and a divided map just showing that nation for people who cant download a 1mb image :) )

Also, your country is only around 742 Kilometers in width. Umm... my maps scale is 15 kilometers per pixel, which makes your nation rather small. The reason for the scale is the extreme populations in Nationstates. 2000 people per km is just wierd, so with this scale its aorund 300. Is it ok if I scale up the overall size?
Hamptonshire
16-06-2004, 06:21
I'm looking for it, mail is slow today.

And, if you notice the actual scale of my map is 1000 miles, not 100. I wasn't able to correct the error because of time and...time.

Also Aori I am looking into you right now. In your opinion, are you future tech or present tech?
Hamptonshire
16-06-2004, 06:32
Three things:

1) A little further south.
2) The largest island (the island with the city of Portshire) should be larger and very close to the coastline of the main island.
3) If you could make the openning to the bay even smaller (I'm talking tiny) it would be most appreciated.

Other than that, it's a very good map. Thank you.

Also, it is preferred, but not necessary, that you join the region "Eropid" :).

I would, but I am currently part of the region "the Unforgiven" and that is a very active region and a regional alliance. I will, however, keep on eye on Eropid just in case.

Well, in my opinion, I'm slowly crossing over from present to future. Though not without troubles. I'm also amazed at how quickly you are amending your map!
Attican Empire
16-06-2004, 06:57
Well... say... according to your post you have nuclear powered aircraft? The only aircraft in modern tech that can be (and has been) done is a 747...
also "thanks to various advances in robotics and visual displays."... please explain. I am just trying to keep the continent as modern tech as possible - future tech nations would easily overbalance it.
Aori
16-06-2004, 07:08
Agh, me and my inability to write well at 1:00 A.M., lemme explain.

Aori is a bit of a strange mystery. All the technology it uses EXISTS, everything. From the rail-guns to the nuclear-reactors. However, they are more advanced, sometimes smaller and frequently more efficient. Mind you, that the Inteceptors they use are friggin big, and the helicopters are more like flying-castles. Not everything is nuclear-powered though, and fusion power is still very tricky and cost-ineffective. A LOT of oil is still used, and people are encouraged to walk from home to work and back again when possible. The robotics thing is basically based on the fact that Asmiov (the Hondabot) exists. While some people reside in bulky (and relatively exspensive) exoskeleton units when engaged in warfare, the majority of the army lies in tactical, SWAT like squadrons. You know how a HUD works on an aircraft? Imagine something like that transmitted to the helmet of a soldier. Furthermore, imagine a soldier in a metal frame with a minigun! Mind you these are very cost-effective yet either, and I should've edited that post.

Aori is balanced by the fact that it does not have ANY raw materials of its own. In attrition, Aori will always loose, and its navy is designed around quick respone. Again, there are sattelite-mounted lasers that can melt entire cities, but they are very experimental and vunerable to many problems like heat and micrometeroids. I will not use them, and hope you design a treaty to get rid of them if I do join.

Damn double post. And let me note that Rail-Guns are pretty clunky as weapons. Unless their launching missles around the world that is.
Attican Empire
16-06-2004, 07:34
I'll think about it. Also, a laser that can destroy a city is practically impossible, since, in order to generate a beam of sufficient width, you would need a mirror over 1km in width. The power needs would be more than the power used to power Chicago :)

Basicly we are greece.
The Dracun Language is in English.
We will join the region as well
this look alot of fun but question...will it interfere in II or is it like another world?

I was actually hoping for australian thing...ohh well.

How does this sound?

Capital City: Raptior (Yes, Raptior, not Raptor)

Major Cities: Farway City, Windsong, Raptior (Capital), Dugahh City

Major Terrian: Simular to Hshires actually, an island like Great Britian, but larger would be nice. Make it so where "Ireland" is suposed to be makes like a bay with one openning (top part is connect thickly), which I would request to be small.

I know this isn't helpful, TM me your e-mail and I'll send my exact national map to you. Mainly becouse Great Britian thing was just a thing I use on NS RP.

Also, if you got AIM I could probably hook up and send it, dono though :wink:

Anyways, thanks!
As for the city locations, Raptior would be located on the min
