Okay, so since I'm running the history of Earth II, here's what I want from everyone interested:

-Write up a short history of your nation (no more than a page single-spaced)
-In that history, I want you to state when and how you got your independence (be reasonable with the time...don't say you got your independence in 630,000 BC (note: date is simply an example) because there were no humans back then). It must be either from a RL nation or a NS state that occupies territory on Earth II, but if it is the latter you MUST contact the NS state in question and agree to the parameters of your independence (by the way, "Rome" (and "Byzantium" for that matter) counts as a NS state (mine))
-Your history can include events that affected and/or involved other NS states, but you MUST contact those states and agree completely on how the event played out and what the effects were. (in short, if you include another NS state in your history you have to ensure that they know about it and agree to what happened, so there are no disputes and/or surprises)
-Should you decide to not participate it is assumed that your nation came into being within the last year (i.e. 2004)
-The deadline for submissions is January 31, 2005. After that, your nation will be assumed too young for the preliminary history. However, at the end of each year I will be adding to the history annals so it will be up to you to keep me informed of the events you want included in them (I can't read every thread)

If you are interested, please make a post in the "Applications for inclusion" on the "History" forum on the Earth II board or post here. The forum is also where all submissions are to be made in order for them to count

Germania, from 100 B.C. - 200 A.D. was nothing but scattered tribes. It did not even have groups of tiny states. It was not until the fall of the Roman Empire that Germania's tribes began to unite and form small nations -- Bavaria, Prussia, Allemania, Austria, etc.

It was united as a whole nation in 1238 A.D., but fell apart merely 80 years later. The small nations remained until a war between the Germanian nations erupted in the 19th century. The most powerful of these nations, North Germania, [North Germania's leader was a Kaiser at the time rather than a president or prime minister. Germanians cannot remain stable using elections or weak leaders. The nation is only as strong as its leader.] conquered the others, and Germania was unified in 1865. It has remained unified ever since under the rule of the Kaisers and Reichschancellors.

OOC: More to come later on. I'm really tired and about to go to bed, so I just made a short post.

A few things:

-Technically speaking, in this world, the Roman Empire never fell (as I am the Roman Empire)
-Since Rome's territories extended to Austria at the height of the Empire, if you'd like me to play some sort of role in your history, TG me
-I don't mean to be harsh, but if you want this to count, please post it in Layarteb's forum here:

I'll let it slide though.

In the year 300 B.C., Carthage was the master of the Mediterranean. Sailor's from Carthage went to every corner of the sea, and down the African coasts, and even around Africa! Trader's traded with Germanic Warlords, British Druids, Gaulic Fishermen, Iberian Hunters, Egyptian Priests, Greek Philosopher, Nubian Nomads, African Natives, and even Roman Farmers. Carthaginians sold their newest invention, clear glass, to everyone who could afford it. Anyone nation that challanged the Republic soon had it's fleet destroyed(if it had one) and thousands of infantry at their gates with fearsome war-elephants in front of them. Nation's fell before the might of Carthage, and the knowledge gained from these people's greatly helped in the ability to travel and conquer. In the year 297 B.C., the leaders of Carthage decided to send 20 ships around Africa to colonize the new land. The colonists finally reached their destination in spring 294, and established the colony of New Carthage in what is modern day Karachi. From the original 700 colonists, the colony grew to a population of 120,000 by 260 B.C. The leader of the colonists, a man be the name of Balmicar, lead to the people to triumph after triumph against the native peoples.

However, not all was going well for the homeland. Although Carthage was all mighty, they had been attacked by the traitorous Roman's. Although the war was going well until 249, the tide had turned and by 245 the Carthaginians were on the verge of losing. To help, 3,000 soldiers had been sent by boat to Carthage. However, by the time they reached there, 242, all was almost lost. The 60 ships helped to defend Carthage from an attack by Roman's, but by the end of the next year all was lost. Fearing that the Roman's might try to take away their colony, the Colonists were quick to leave before the Roman's discovered the existence of New Carthage.

to be continued

Anyway, I have two things for you TLS:

1) I have thought that since Carthage and Rome were rivals in RL history, I have thought that we could twist the Punic Wars a little- Carthage would still lose Wars 1 and 2, but after the Second Punic War we'd engage in numerous battles that resolved nothing, resulting in the two becoming allies and sparing the razing to the ground of Carthage in 146 BC.

2) Not to sound harsh, but you're going to need to edit your history down to a page. I don't have a problem with large histories being written- I just want the "official" record (made on Layarteb's forum) to be short enough so that I can easily gather all the information I'll need to write the history- I'll be sifting through a lot of information, so I need it to be concise. EDIT- The "official" version has to be on Layarteb's forum, or else I won't count it.

working on it will post after I recieve your TG.

Federation of Pushka was started out of so called "lost" Rus tribe. In history there were only 32 tribes of Rus, in reality however there was 33. Pushkans moved east, escaping from Nomads and trying to run away from the influence of Rome, in the 1st century B.C.

Their culture resembles that of the eastern slavs. Most of the traditions are completely identical.

When Mongols established their Golden Horde on the other lands of the Rus. Pushka was not affected. They had forced Mongols to retreat in series of bloody battles. One inparticular was called battle of Voronej, when the Horde hit with its full might, and 2/3 of the Pushkan army was killed but the remaining few managed to throw the Mongols back, and destroy a large part of their army. And since Mongols couldn't stay in one spot for long, because their commanders knew that morale of such a horde will sink quickly, Mongols moved past Pushka and on to the other lands of the Rus.

After that Pushkan history is covered with blood of civil wars, then Tsarist dynasties changed each other as often as every 20 years, each time giving birth to an even bloodier civil war.

This was so up until 1897 then people revolted and overthrew the Tsar. The father of the Revolution was Oleg Potapovich, a son of a wealthy kniaz, who had close relations with the Tsar's family. It was when, then Pushka established itself as a communist country which it is today.

On december 17th the revolutioneries charged at the Tsar's palace in Voronej, retaking their country from the bloodthirsty monarch.

Pushkan current and 5th president is Ivan V. Mishin.

Recent events in Puskan history were the war with Crimsdale which was won by Pushka, and a civil war then fascist rebels came close to making their revolution succesful.

The revolution plan was designed by the fascist secret society which existed since few years after the communist revolution in 1897. But the take over was unsuccesful, with help from Cotland, Pushkan forces reorganized and defeated the rebel army which taken most major cities after disrupting the communications in the country so no orders could be given by high command, and assasinating few important gov't officials, also attempting to assasinate President Ivan V. Mishin.

HISTORY OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF COTLAND


The original Cotland was the small oblasts of Kirov and Ivanovo, who was ruled by the blood-thirsty warlord Vladimir the Bloody. He invaded and conquered most of the provinces in present day Cotland. Only Tartarstan remained. In 1102 BC Vladimir the Bloody was killed in an assault on the Tartarstanian capitol village Roskji. His oldest son Ivan, aged 4 at the time, took over the throne, but was overthrown shortly after for having 198 persons killed because they didn't allow him to eat candy before dinner.

*****

The next in line was Thomas Gray, a foreign mercenary in Vladimirs army. He invited a lot of friends from England and Scotland, and made a empire which he named Cotland, a name that sounded like Grays native Scotland.

*****

After 100 years, 26% of the population consisted of decendants of the English and Scottish settlers. after a further 300 years, 74% were decendants from the British settlers. The rest were Russian. The two populations came along well. In 1438, the inhabitants of Tartarstan decided that they too wanted a part of the action, and offered the ruler of Cotland, Henry Gray, the reign of Tartarstan and all her rescources if they could join Cotland.

Cotland fought off everyone that tried to invade, finally ending up as the most powerful nation in the region, both military and economicly. The Cottish wealth has raised the standard of living in Cotland, giving her a very low unemployment rate. Cotland has made allies over the years, but the most dramatic chapter in newer Cottish history was yet to come, and then it came from within.

*****

In the early 1900s, after several decades of dismay, the population of Romator (Tunisia and Sicily) revolted. They threw all Roman troops out of Romator, declared their independence and started a democracy. They also disbanded most of the little military that was left after the Roman retreat. The new nation was approched by Cotland, who wanted a colony in the Mediterranian. The population of Romator had a vote over it, and a wooping 99,7% of the population agreed to the Cottish proposal. Only 359 persons objected, feeling that Romator should go back to Carthage. Those individuals were shipped to the Carthagians in exile soon after.

*****

Untill the end of the 1930's, most of Cotland remained free. Then, the Commanding General in Cotland, General John Hanghigh, staged a coup, causing a 10 year reign of terror, untill the resistance movement, which was located in the free colony of Egypt, finally stood up against the dictator, with the people behind them. Finally, in 1949, all of Cotland was free yet again. Dispite the freedom, it would take 3 years for the new constitution to be finished, and elections to be arranged.

*****

The first elected leader (eqvivalent to President) in Cotland was Mr James Klarseth (Cottish People's Party), who sat in office from 1952 to 1973, being the most popular elected leader ever. He was a lead figure in the resistance movement, and considered the father of Cotland. He had a heart attack and died in 1983. Another major incident in Cotland was the assassination of Elected Leader Mr Bill Farout (Leftside Party), in 1992. The assassin, a youth from a extreme-right wing party, was shot dead by members of the Electorial Guards (1th Infantry Brigade), the bodyguards of the Cottish Government. The current Elected Leader, elected with 57% of the votes, is mr. Thomas Rothsky (age 48), the leader of the Cottish People's Party. He was recently reelected woth 68% of the votes.

*****

Cotland lived in great prosperity, thanks to the natural resources in Cotland, who are self-sufficient with oil, natural gas, iron, steel, wood and assorted wood products, to mention a few. The main energy source used for electricity is nuclear power. Currently, there are 48 nuclear powerplants in operation around Cotland.


Cotland has kept a close relationship with Rome since the early 1950s, and is a member of the Roman Confederacy, a defencive and trade alliance between all nations formerly in the Roman Empire.


[More to come]

Posted in the other forums...I'll have more to add in the future, and it'll make f'ing sence.

OOC: Not to rag on anyone here, but the "official" histories belong on Layarteb's forums, not here. This thread is simply for questions regarding the Histories (what is acceptable and what is not, and also if you have any confusions regarding what happened in RL history).

We have a set cut-off date at the end of the month? Oh, man, I don't think I can do my history. My history depends on the histories of people who don't take enough time to write histories and others who haven't written so far. I need Bedistan, and Yoboland, and Celtayoshi, and Kriegorgrad, and the Cottonmouth's history, along with a few other Africans. I don't think I can do it. My territories are too spread and depend too much on RL history.

Binthor: since you've expressed interest in being involved in the history you'll still be a part of it, don't worry. What you should do is TG all the nations you need for your history (you still have quite a bit of time), present them your ideas and go from there. If you need more time (i.e., past January 31, 2005) you will have it. January 31 is simply the deadline for interested nations to say that they want in- if interested nations need more time I'll grant it to them.

In short, don't worry. I'll be flexible when it comes to when I get the written histories (just not when it comes to applications for inclusion).
