The Tradelands... an awesome capitalist mecha bringing competing nations closer together to compete more closely, giving each their own plot of land so that planning military strikes becomes even easier and much more tactical, and offering up a stock exchange to keep the money flowing. Made up of three continents and a series of islands, the Tradelands' diverse terrain offers the finest in roleplaying and strategy with everything from the active volcano island of Volcanus to the giant cresent of Genesis to the massive contenent Indigo that just begs for a border war. The map of the Tradelands was built with roleplay in mind, just begging for a chosen few experienced roleplayers to compete over it for total physical and economic dominion.

Will you be one of these nations, ready to participate in an epic roleplay experience? If your answer is yes, claim land here or see our regional forums (http://s8.invisionfree.com/tradelands).

OOC: C'mon people! PUNCH AND PIE!!!!

OOC: I'm already part of a region-based alliance, but I will still look into this if it doesn't bother you, because while this nation is pretty much new, I'm not a NOOB to NS.

Vampad is very interested in this. I've signed up on the forums so we can talk further o_O

Thanks for all the courtesy BUMPs, everyone!

*throws another BUMP on the pile*

It really is quite the good investment

Aye, newly crafted regions are full of fun resources to exploit and strip-mine.

Indeed. It was thanks to the Tradelands that I could totally industrialize my nation. Thats right folks, when you think smog, nuclear pollutants, and low life expectancy, think Einhauser! Making great products and deadly poisens with no regard for the enviroment in a neighborhood near you!

ummm.....i ws wondering if i could have 2 and 3, seeing as they work so well geographically for a good port nation, and since they're about half the size of all the ones' near them...plz!
if not, then......2 will suffice.

and i don't see ANY punch or pie here...... :mad:

Well, i doubt your going to get two plots, even if they are small. Personally, id go with spot 3, instead of 2. Its bigger

Hmmm... nope, decided a while back that all nations only get one plot. If I can't have an uber-massive plot without conquest, neither can anyone else. :p

However, 47 looks like it fits the needs of what you're talking about. Tell me a little bit about your nation, and if I like it, it's yours.

oh, nevermind! I claim 33!
Sticks flag in gound where 33 is! YAY!

and i don't see ANY punch or pie here...... :mad:

Thats because we have discovered that the right ratio of punch:pie makes a wonderful source for cold fusion! Therefore they exist, but in massive reactors powering the region.

and i don't see ANY punch or pie here...... :mad:
You just need to look harder. Eventually you'll get hungry enough that random inanimate objects start to look like punch and pie, and when you do we'll be there to charge you to eat them.

oh, nevermind! I claim 33!
Sticks flag in gound where 33 is! YAY!
Or... 33.

Still, tell us a bit about your nation, and it's yours.

I declare the Punch:Pie cold fusion reactor dream to be a reality!

Behold as punch and pie combine to create both energy and... Pinch? Piech? Punie? Why is it so hard to think of a name! Scrap the project, I guess free energy ain't gonna happen, lets go back to the corpse-based power plants.

The Holy Empire of Christopher Thompson is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 838 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 91%. A robust private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, and CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Christopher Thompson's national animal is the Snow Lepord, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the gil.

Christopher Thompson is ranked 3rd in the region and 53,337th in the world for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector.

detailed stuff:
see sig for military.....
political/cultural:
religeous, tolerant, liberal nation that is very democratic; we appreciate the arts, and use war as a last resort. We don't believe in Imperialism, but this by NO means that we're pussies. actually, we try to act as a universal peace-keeper and summit place for negotiations, and protect the weak. i have a truly virtuous country. a smaller military than most my size, but a very, very , very good one in terms of per person. my gov't goes for quality over quantity. also, we have a very democratic congress, but the fuehrer is elected once in a lifetime, but he/she can be thrown out of office. despite the cliches, my nation is actually a neat design of things you normally don't find in bigger nations. oh, and one main thing: the populace as a whole may hate war, but the military is collected mostly of the warmongers of my little society. expect little seperation between church and state, but that's mostly just because a lot of the culture is religeous and most of it is just pleasantries. we don't harbor terrorism, fascists, and don't go on holy wars.
we like pie and punch, of which we can find none here! (lying bastard!)
but that's k, i'll just bring in my own! :p
oh, i'm post modern, instituting a much larger airforce, have NO official army (but a very....neat marine core), a big navy, and the navy is a pretty respected part of my culture, and the navy pretty much gets whatever it wants from the government budget.

Ummmmm....You said if I told you a bit about my nation, you'd let me in if you liked it...I've waited for a day now, and I think I've been more than patient. If you could please say yes or no, I'd appreciate it. Even if it's no, I'd much rather just have a straight answer.

You just need to look harder. Eventually you'll get hungry enough that random inanimate objects start to look like punch and pie, and when you do we'll be there to charge you to eat them.
"Ohhh....so that's NOT a piece of pie?" *puts down piece of wood that was holding the door open* "Errr...right, then I want my money back! I knew it tasted funny!"

Sorry, I had to grab my map off of my laptop and get it on my main computer, as well as install Flash MX.

You're on the map! Along with everyone else who posted on the Tradelands forums (http://s8.invisionfree.com/tradelands/index.php?showtopic=1&st=0)! Even Santa Barbara has a beefy arrow on there now.

No prob, I was just getting worried. :P And you gave him the arrow? Lol, that's awesome.

If you tell me a little about Darath, maybe we can work something out. ;)

What do you need to know? Its a capitalist nation worried about self defense. I'm not really sure what else you need to know.

Other than capitalism, what's your government like? What's life like for an avarage person in your nation? What's the brief history of your nation? Anything like that, really.

Unfortuantely, with the server down I can't access alot of that right now.

Hm... I'm not talking about what's on your nation's page. I'm talking about RPing...

Sorry, but I don't think you're right for the Tradelands. You just don't seem to have any willingness to RP.

bump 16 plz :-)

Join us. You know you want to.

According to NSEconomy, our gross regional product is 2.97 trillion USD! GOSH!

Alright, I'm drowning in bumps, maybe we should start a new, shinier looking thread that actually has punch and pie?
