I have come up with the reason why Bostonians hate New York!

1. Ego. I mean, you can't have 2 HUGE cities so close! Clash of Ego, baby!

2. History. Boston was founded by British Colonists, New York by the Dutch.

3. History Again. During the Revolution, New York was the heart of Loyalist America, while Boston was the heart(or at least lungs) of Rebellious America.
The British blockaded Boston so it couldn't advance for about 10 years, while New York thrived because it had no competition.(in other words, New York got bigger than Boston because they hid behind the Brit's.)

Oh, and back to the game...

2047: America(the entire continent, not the U.S.) becomes one giant country.

2051: America Invades E.U. Stalmate for 4 years.

2055: Nuclear war between E.U. and America. New York, Rio de Jainero, Mexico City, Paris, London, and Berlin all nuked. More than 500,000,000 die.

2056: War ends.

2057: To make sure such a war never happens again, world unites under a central government.

a global government where EVERYONE is involved would work fine. If there's a global government, there are no wars due to "national pride".

Besides, we would never be able to make a sizeable space empire if we don't unite.

2061:Astronauts from America Colonize moon.

2074: After almost 20 years of fierce fightings among the factions that formerly made up the Global Government, a new government is formed. Based in Geneva, this government(the United Earth Directorate, or UED) quickly takes over the weak factions.

2076: The U.E.D. storms Beijing, thus destroying the only non-U.E.D. city left.

Firsts colonists land on moon.

2077-2103: Multiple rebellions against the U.E.D, but the U.E.D. manages to stay together.

2104: Moon base excedes population of 3,000,000 , Mars base tops 10,000 inhabitants. Last rebellion put down. Era of peace and prosperity ushered in as the vast wealth of the Moon, Mars, and the Asteroid Belt give a huge influx of raw materials.

The average New Yorker wants freedom too, just a warped edge of it. See despite our loyalty in the Revolutionary War, the key part of it was that we came out on top. Hell the Brits weren't THAT bad. But alas us nationalistic New Yorkers (not US nationalistic, NY nationalistic) are the ones ye need to beware.

You guys are acting likes its impossible! But it isn't. For the last thousand years, there has been something that has brought people from all races, regions, cultures, languages, and classes together: The Hajj.

It is an un-parraleled time of year. It brings hundreds of millions of people together in one place, not to kill each other or to fight for glory, but to enhance their lives and the lives of others. If 1.3 billion people can come together, what's to stop us from adding an extra 4.7 billion?

Besides, if we ever DO go to war, it will probably be againt our own creations(I.E. Clones, androids, pissed off colonies....)

It just doesn't seem likely. Getting everyone to agree on a single government, even in the distant future, would be nearly impossible. Perhaps a slightly more dominant version of the U.N., but not a single government. The only way it could possibly work would be if we gave everyone in the world Prosium, so they could look past their long-held grudges and unite in an Equilibrium-style society. Human emotion would get in the way too much otherwise.

Also, what makes you think that when we form colonies on other planets that it will all be united? The Americans will establish colonies, the Russians, the Germans, the French, and any other nation that gets a space program. It'll be like when we discovered America, it wasn't all of Europe saying, "okay, let's all unite and found a colony" we can't all get along.

Human emotion would get in the way too much otherwise.

Then they can create their own governments on New Planets.

It's quite simple: the groups that don't WANT to live on the Earth in 500 years can just leave to Mars or Pluto or something. Then they establish their own government, and those who want to stay on Earth can.

Also, I am thinking a kinda hybrid between the Russian Federation and the United States. You have alot of small Republics inside of a regional federation, and the the federations make up the entire planet. The republics have about the same amount of power as a State in the U.S.s does, but just a bit more(like the ability to have offical religions, languages, etc.) The planet will have one gloal currency, one global army, but many different cultures, religions, etc. If one republic attacks another republic(which would be near-impossible since the republics don't have their own armies, just small militas), then the rest of the region must take action. If the rest of the Region is unable to solve the problem or IS the problem, the the entire planet will the called in to solve the problem.

There would be an election every 3 years for President of Earth and for the presidents of the Federations. Whoever wins President of their federation will nominate a candidate for president of the Planet. There will then be a global election, and then the victor will be President of the United Earth Directorate. All the other candidates from the other federations (or, in the case of federation elections, republics) will serve as a council-member on the Council of the U.E.D. or their federation.

The Councils are the most powerful group of people in the legislative government. That is split into Three parts. On the bottom there is the House of Representatives, from which each Federation(or, in the case of a Federation Government, Republic) sends a number of people proportionate to their population to represent them. Then there is the Congress, from where each Federation(or Republic) sends 3 people to represent them. Then, there is the Council(which has already been explained). For a federation bill to be passed, it must first be passed by the federation House of Representatives, then by their Congress, then by their congress, then by their council, and the finally by their President. If the Global President see's it as a problem for the entire world, he can have the power of Veto. For a bill to be passed for the entire world, it is the same except for if it is a bill that concerns military action, the presidents of each federation will look over it. If a majority rules in favor, it will be sent to the president, who will ratify it.

The colonies are governed by a governor, who is elected by the people of the colony. They then have just one Parliament, and then the governor will ratify it if the President of Earth gives the O.K. Bills that have to do with Sucession, etc will go through the Earth Congress first.

You've never seen the 1984 map? It resembles what you made.


Also, depending on how Layarteb wants to handle foreign possession I'd like to claim these tiny islands.

Clipperton Island (France)
Johnston Atoll (US)
Kingman Reef (US, not actually an island but a good place to refuel and the like)
Palmya Atoll (US)
Jarvis Island (US)
Cocos or Keeling Islands (Australia)
Comoros (Independent)


The US Islands I shouldn't have a problem with unless the islands themselves have already been claimed. It's the French and Australian Islands that I'm worried about. If Vollmeria or Tyrandis have a problem with me just taking the islands I'd be more then happy to buy them.

Will you have modern (2005-2020) technology if they are decendents from Vikings? Not that I object. My ancestors were vikings (that's right. I'm from Norway :) ), so I'm cool with that. Just wondering.
Yea, eventually I'll RP that the Viking Warlords sent expeditions to acquire new technologies, in exchange for a metal found in the mountains of Antartica. It has basically the same properties of Steel except it has a slight bluish color. I already have a large modern day fleet for my nation, all that I need are some trading outposts once the King decided to go public to the world that there's Antarticians actuall living in Antartica. Thread should be up within a day if you're interested.

RomeW: Rome it shall be.

The Lightning Star: I'm not sure honestly. Humanity has been around for how many thousands of years yet they still fight and war over the most petty of things. We'll never learn. I'll update Africa when all parties of all things are listed and weigh in. Like I told RomeW, just repost the map of how it'll be, what parties are involved and then have them respond.

Psychotika: It clearly shows Alaska being taken.

GnOoLoCoPeLep: No he didn't. Hear anything yourself? I see him on the list though. It might have been another problem with backups. I had a problem like that not too long ago where IDF accidentally vanished and I didn't know why. For the most part all claims of the country include the other territories except in the case of the Pacific Ocean really. That little thing of Mexico wouldn't be part of France though, it'd be separate so you can have it. Also you can have Johnston Atoll, Kingman Reef, Palmyra Atoll, and Comoros. Jarvis Island is owned by RomeW and Cocos or Keeling Islands is owned by Tyrandis. Currently you are at 3,927,422.32 square miles just to let you know.

Note: Any aggressive actions taken towards now Pyschotikan Kansas by Bureaucracia will be responded with by military action from North Germania.

If requested, members of The October Alliance in North America (Soviet Bloc and Layarteb) will more than likely support this as it is a defensive action of sorts.

Germania does not wish for war in Kansas, and would much rather solve this dilemma diplomatically. It seems to me that Pyschotika's offer is quite generous.

Also, I'd like to know what any Southern African Nations think of this alliance. I'd like you to point out any glaring mistakes that I've undoubtedly overlooked before I give it it's own thread.

The Zanguebar Suwahillies Alliance

In an effort to promote trade among the nations of Southern Africa General Seamus Fitzgerald of the Hibernian Trinity is today announcing the formation of The Zanguebar Suwahillies Alliance. The alliance is designed to allow the import and export of products in an effort to strengthen the economies of these nations. The alliance is not bound to any form of governing body and any nations who take part are free to leave the alliance at any time. However, while they are part of the alliance they are to abide by several guidelines. Firstly, taxes on imports from allied nations are to be 2% lower then the standard tariff placed on imports. Secondly, nations allied through this agreement are not to attack each other. If war is aboslutely necessary the attacking nation, or both nations if the situation calls for it, will be asked to leave the alliance. Thirdly, while this is in no way considered a military alliance it is strongly suggested that you do whatever you can to aid any allied nation if they require it. Fourthly, It is asked that when possible you import products of allied nations, rather then those created outside the alliance. Fifthly, Economic Sanctions placed on a member nation will be considered a sanction on the entire alliance and will be dealt with with a heavy hand.
We hope eligible nations will come together and help us to turn Southern Africa into a paradise that will be the envy of the entire world.


I've provided a link to a map showing eligible nations. If you have a territory located south of the yellow line then you'll be allowed to join if you desire. This includes islands located south of the line.

You can upload a BMP to a website, so can a PNG. I asked for PNG because that is what Fireworks uses as their base file. The maps that we have currently are all saved in PNG but exported to JPEG and uploaded. On a JPEG you can go down to about 60% - 65% before significant quality is lost.

Lesotho, by the way, is in Southern Africa. Sandwiched inside of South Africa.

Well, Lesotho is in the middle of South Africa, which I think you own. I took it in a land grab, as I used to have very little, but now it is out of the way. Both for historical and personal preferences I'm centered around the meditteranean, and since you have Corsica (or Cyprus) a trade could help both of us. I'm probably in less of a bargaining position, seeing how Lesotho is a tad bit smaller and dead in the middle of South Africa, so I'm willing to give a bit more, like monetarily. Anything you want in particular?

I'll point out both things on the maps:

www.geocities.com/dadothegreat2003/africa3.png - what Africa's map should look like (it's one quarter of Niger that Teh Ninjas gets)

www.geocities.com/dadothegreat2003/unitedstates.png - what the United States' map should look like (I get his share of Arizona and New Mexico- it's the same size as what I'm giving up).

EDIT- To GnOoLoCoPeLep: When you make the United States map, change the name of Houston to "New Rome", as that's what I'm calling my American holdings. Also, wipe out Dallas and Forth Worth from the map- they don't exist anymore (Rowlett will take their place).

It's supposed to be the NE quarter (25%)...Teh Ninjas and I already agreed to the borders. Niger is 1200K square kilometers, Arizona and New Mexico is 300K square kilometers. So that area is 300K of Niger going to Teh Ninjas.

Okay, as you know my thread 'Operation Pacific Dominance' is now awaiting the current territory owner to reply.
However, the guy hasn't been online for five days, if he has left nationstates for good then it will be about 15 more days until we will know, at which point the territory I have claimed in RP should become mine (probably).
My point is, 15 days is a long time to leave four carriers waiting when I want to invade a few other island chains, if in 5 days he has not logged in can I 'freeze' the thread where it is and then go on with my next objectives, and then if the owner does come back 'unfreeze' the thread?

Who is the owner? (too late and too tired to look myself) The whole Binthor/Samtonia thing was vastly different. Binthor had a lot of personal stuff going on and he had, prior to that event, been a contributor to Earth II.

Decree 12 is sort of unofficially in effect. This means that it remains in limited testing (honestly I want to see how it works out before I go ahead and say "Yes" to it).

See, out of all the counties Cork is the one I want the most. My family emigrated to America from there and Dublin. You'd already have six more counties then I do with this map.

If I do decide to sell it, I will put you down as first dibs on it. Oh yeah one other thing if I sell it I get to keep Okinawa Island as my own personal Military Superbase.

Hogsweat may have alot of oil under his control but he also needs to use things like the Suez Canal (that you own) and most certainly needs ships, materials, etc. to pass through the region. Economically it makes since for him to be in good relations with the country in charge of the canal simply because of the amount of things needed to transverse that track. I for one have HUGE oil fields in the Western Sahara and when RomeW and I get this land swap thing finalized, you should be able to turn to Confederacy members for all your oil needs. This would be more economically sound for you to trade within the alliance as the tariff-free rules would apply. Logistically it would make sense for you also .

True, but keep in mind that Hogsy's a member of the Confederacy as well. And as such, he like all members of the Confederacy have free passage thru the canal. But on the other hand, I maintain the right to refuse ships passage....
