Right. I am starting a new Earth called Earth X.(That's ten in Roman for you silly heads out there)

The Rules

1. I am God in this Earth. I decide what comes and goes. My assistants, Beautiful Yalaluxurios and Kjata Major, will help me with this job.(As BY's making the maps. I can't do shit with graphics on this iMac. And Kjata Major is more dedicated and active than me. :p)

2. First come first serve. It may be a little unfair to those who are late, but it's fairer than other options.

3. You may claim up to 1 million square kilometers by land, not including sea. Use:

http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/

to figure out how much territory you've claimed and if it's below(or around, if the exceeding number is extremely minimal to the limit) the limit.

4. Sign ups will last two weeks. After that, any territory not claimed will be RPed as neutral, which means that you RP as if that territory is still occupied by the former country. You can conquer it of course.

5. BE ACTIVE. If you do not post at least once a week, your nation will be kicked from Earth X and your territory RPed as neutral. However, there is an exception. If you announce that you will be going on vacation, you will be given one month to post at least once before your territory is RPed as neutral and you nation is kicked.

6. Modern Tech and Post Modern Tech only. No clones, no nuclear weapons(I find them too cheap), no futuristic weapons and/or vehicles please.

7. Any international incidents in Earth X are limited to Earth X nations ONLY.

8. When RPing a war with another, member controlled nation, you will RP fairly with him or her. Against neutral nations, you must first calculate their military by using the CIA factbook, then, you RP fairly. Don't make it a total win for you. These people, unless you have REALLY good ways with words, will not want to be conquered, and will fight till the bitter end, when it's absolutely hopeless.

9. It is urged and recommended that you join the region "Earth X". You don't HAVE to of course, but it will make things a bit more fun.

More rules will be added later.

Ns

This will be RPed on NationStates.

Tech-level allowed?

Nuclear threats or other types allowed?

Actual international incidents between other nations or private 1 on 1 only? Both?

Expansionism and Imperialism rules?

I belive it will be MT/PMT, about the year 2015

Tech-level allowed?

Nuclear threats or other types allowed?

Actual international incidents between other nations or private 1 on 1 only? Both?

Expansionism and Imperialism rules?
EDITED rules.

The year will be 2020.

I will be taking Japan.


Can I still lay claim to Kyushu and you can take Honshu? Kjata is primarly focussed on Japan because that is the true origin due to the mental qualities of the characters who helped to bring Kjata into existance.

(Umm...I can text SOME of the story if you really want to know, but I am not going to upset the mods by posting ANY of the origin story as ther murder/death/drugs/rape/abuse/scamming/cursing/gore/decite and all the wonderful topics that went into every chapter of it.)

Otherwise I'm going to have to be pushed into the south somewhere and will have to create a circle of power.

I'd like Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi Please.

I Hitler the Nazi claim-

HITLER THE NAZI:
United Kingdom
Greece
South Korea
North Korea
Finland

Those are the countries I want.

You may have all of Japan, I have reversed my claim

Oh...ok. I'll take Japan, South and North Korea.

I already have North and South Korea

Oh...ok. I'll take Japan, South and North Korea.
Unfortunately, you can only take Japan out of those claims. Hitler the Nazi took North and South Korea.

Should we start an Earth X International Incidents thread?

Oh, and I assume no invasions until the 2 week claiming period is over, correct?

The Empire of Helnacht will lay claim to:

France
Spain
Portugal
Morocco
Belgium

Eep....posted before me. Darn. Japan, Philippines and Malaysia.

Should we start an Earth X International Incidents thread?

I'll start the Earth X thread in 2 weeks after sign ups close. I'll issue all a telegram to remind you guys about it.

Heh, it might be better that I not take those areas as they are notorious for internal problems. The south is plagued with acid rain, pollution, severe earthquakes. The north is a political and enviromental hell-hole to! Water pollution; inadequate supplies of potable water; waterborne disease; deforestation; soil erosion and degradation. Oh ya...military boundary line 50 nm in the Sea of Japan and the exclusive economic zone limit in the Yellow Sea where all foreign vessels and aircraft without permission are banned.

So umm....that kinda means I can easily be given reasons to attack and sink anything in my waters. Korea would only be fixed if one was to have Japan and the edge of China...otherwise it will stay a horrid place.

XD Indeed. Korea, over all, is a hell-hole, and would take massive, some would say radical changes to make it "average" compared to others.

But, I'm not controlling it, so it's not my problem. :p

Would I be able to lay claim to British Columbia and Alberta, with maybe Washington State...?

(OOC: Bleh, who cares?! They've got some of the best gamers in the world! Ain't that right? Tan...I mean, Kjata...)

President Santiana Vargas read the last of the reports, it hadn't been easy, what with all the warring factions and splinter groups spread out across the North American Continent, but he had been succesful. He had known when to give and what to take and control had been consolidated over Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. It was time to get the nation on its feet and get it running strongly and demonstrate to the world the unity of Texarkania and its people. The military was strong and mobile and the factories were up and running across the region. Uranium mining and the construction of Nuclear Power Plants was proceeding at a record pace. Oil reserves were at an all time high and the Offshore rigs in the Gulf were pumping away. Yes, life was going to be good for the people of Texarkania.

Woah woah woah. Hold on there tiger. The RP hasn't started yet, and will not start in 2 more weeks. This is the sign up thread. Be patient. ;)

I will, I just wanted to get a basic setup in place, I have no plans to RP any further than that until the 2 weeks is up.

Well if I was faster and not watching FMA I may have landed it, Japan controlling those countries and linked with the economic wonderland that COULD grow there with north korea's resources and the south's large coasts could in the course of several years be cleaned up and linked together to have a small Utopia. Though this list:

United Kingdom
Greece
South Korea
North Korea
Finland

Of Hitler the Nazi makes no since. Greece is small and historically important, but not worth half a nickel in the world. The UK while important is stil and island and has a military advantage, but not an economic one. Neither does Greece. Finland is beautiful, but again too sparsely populated and too far to the north to have any major important activities.

On the other hand. Japan while low in its own resources has economic ties, military advantages. Tied with Korea (whole) it could have a major economy boost and end the reliance on outside sources for many materials. However I think I have it fixed with the southern islands. Small and weak alone, it offers superior sea dominance and wonderful natural resources for any nation with the right idea to use them.

The Korea situation already plagues my mind as it is isolated, hmm remember France from before with the same thing? This means Hitler the Nazi will have 4 land masses to control and 4 land masses to govern, all of various environments, all of various political backgrounds and all of them worth nearly nothing with the exception of the UK, which will obviously the HQ of the military and nation control! So this means half a world away any incident would require a long and dangerous journey for an army, and navy to reach the otherside. Leaving them open to sub-attacks and aerial bombing at any time from any country they storm through. Or if they take the long route...the chance of never arriving before it is too late and they run into a trap.....Very interesting.

Aha. Ok then. I apologize for misunderstanding.

Also, added a new rule. If you want, you can join the region Earth X.

Well that's why I want to keep MY territory as compact as possible. Like you said, it will help with the economy, environment, travel, and defense of the entire territory.

But that's his problem, not mine. ;)

Hehehe, yes. I played too many war games to know the dangers of it. I like to be able to draw a single thick line of 'power' around my area without having to pick up a pencil or touch or come close to another part of the line I drew. A nice solid curve is the best for showing power. Not 4 small circles.

8. When RPing a war with another, member controlled nation, you will RP fairly with him or her.

Umm..I have a question about this. Say we attack neutral China. We only want a small part of it, but do we HAVE to fight the whole damn military. (Over two million enlisted and millions more can and WILL be called upon) If we have to fight a nation as large as China or Russia or the United States, won't any force be overwhelming and totally crushing?

I join in this question and suggest that you only have to fight "regions" in the U.S. for example, it's easy, you fight only the state you are invading, not the entire U.S. In Russia, you may only fight Kamchatka, not all of Russia. Only the S.E. 1/4 of China, etc.

Not necessarily. You have to fight an estimate of Chinese(for example) defenses in the territory you're trying to capture, and also note that reinforcements WILL be on the way. I mean, nobody reacts well to having their country invaded. But anyways, once you get the territory you want and fight off the defenses in that area, you CAN offer a truce to the nation you are attacking. Remember though, how these people would react, and make it realistic.

In most cases, yes, you will have to fight the whole military, or at least a good portion of it. But if you are good with politics and such, you can RP a truce and treaty, making sure it's fair and realistic.

This is open to change of course, but it's what I've decided for now.

No...that would be the extreme reversal! Say you want to take over....Rhode Island. Will you deal with barely any force? Why should the nation you are attacking not send EVERYTHING at you for invading? There should be terms made, like diplomacy and then a war over that land. Once losses are too high or you are defeated your forced out. You will fight the large part of the forces, but for size/military ratio the losses would be crazy to them. Depending on the beliefs of the people and how much land you are taking, and the rate you take land should determine this.

Yep. Seems fine with me. Added.

Right on, Thanks...


Question, Do we have to do a factsheet for our nations, and since it's about 2015 I belive, can someone claim in that factsheet the region there in has built defence's over the past 5 or 10 years, or do we actully have to rp the defence construction?

First, it's the year 2020.

Second, I think to make it fair, we first have to RP the defence construction. Not only does it add to the story of how our nations took power, it's realisitc. This is a world of anarchy at the moment. Undoubtedly, any past defences are, as the Germans would say, "kaput".(At least, I think that's how they said it.)

Yes, the same thing I was getting at. A nation like Russia will be more willing to part with a barren inhospitable wasteland and not send troops into to fight and die over it. Though you take a chunk and defeat the military they will be more likely to back off and have a truce.

Westerners have done this for a LONG time. Eastern no. China will fight to the death for everything. The nation itself is large and stable, and extremely old, the government system is also powerful and stable. Getting any land from China will not be easy at all. Vietnam and Korea will be the same to. Since Korea is controlled by Hitler the Nazi he will generally not throw everything, HA-HA-HA-HA, at the invader before he loses too much ground and his military is split up and destroyed.

(OOC: (I'm sorry for muddling this thread with these OOC posts, but this is just asking to be responded to.)

Wha? The government stable?! What a joke. FYI, when the current Chairman Hu took power, it was the first time there was a power transfer in the Communist Party without late night kidnappings, blood in the streets, and general terrorizing of Party "enemies".)

I think to make it fair, we first have to RP the defence construction. Not only does it add to the story of how our nations took power, it's realisitc.


Yeah thats perfectly fine with me, by accounts.

If I sign up now, can I claim my territory when I return from holiday (31st of August)?

I'll take Italy, Sicily, Malta, Switzerland, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Yugoslavia.

If I sign up now, can I claim my territory when I return from holiday (31st of August)?
Yes. I'll be adding a rule about vacations soon.

Rodenka, I've already claimed Switzerland. Everything else is fine though.

Ill take South Africa. Its little over the limit, that ok?

The Confederacy of Yderia would like

The Republic of Ireland,
Cuba,
Vietnam,
Bundesrepublik Deutschland (Germany),
The Netherlands,
Austria
Luxembourg

I think there all free, if not tell me n ill check some others.
(Total landmass comes to 995,703 sq km, that ok??)

Germany is taken by Czechoslovakia-. Belguim is mine.

Oh i checked and didnt see Germany taken, awk well.....ill go check out another few countries.

I was thinking about the whole defense build-up rule:

"Second, I think to make it fair, we first have to RP the defence construction. Not only does it add to the story of how our nations took power, it's realisitc. This is a world of anarchy at the moment. Undoubtedly, any past defences are, as the Germans would say, "kaput".(At least, I think that's how they said it.)"

What will be the passage of time rate in this NS world? 1 day = 1 year (unless in battle)?

The Confederacy of Yderia would like the following (revised) list of nations:

The Republic of Ireland,
Denmark,
Sweden,
Norway,
Estonia

I think there all free, if not tell me n ill check some others.
(Total landmass comes to 932805 sq km, that ok??)

Am I allowed South Africa?

Am I allowed South Africa?

He's not online to confirm this, later on today he should be on.

OCC: Hmm, the last time someone made Earth X, it ended 5 minutes later in diaster when Witzgall decided to Nuke New Jersey :D . Hopefully, this version won't live up to that legacy.

Anyways, since I always loved to get involved in these types of this, I'll claim the following territories:

- Romania
- Bulgaria
- Macedonia
- Ukraine
- Moldova

All those territories add up to about 1,010,300 kilometers. Of course, you could just take off an Eastern sliver of Ukraine and that should satisfy the limit.

I would like the following territorial areas of Australia if that's ok:

New South Wales: (801,428 sq.km)
Victoria: (227,600 sq.km)
Capital Territory: (2,452 sq.km)

Total claimed area: 1,031,480 sq.km

source: http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/oceania/aussnew.htm

I realize this is a little bit above the 1 million sq. km. mark you set, but hopefully it is not so far above it as to be outrageous and doing it this way makes map making easier as definite borders can be described. Also, the Capitol Territory is completely surrounded in New South Wales.

Anyone know where the Earth X International and National Incidents thread is?

Anyone know where the Earth X International and National Incidents thread is?

There isn't one yet as I read Texarkania's earlier posts.

That's right. There is no thread yet. The RP will not start for thirteen more days.

And to everyone, the claims are fine. I myself am a little over the limit with my isolated Russia claim.

That's right. There is no thread yet. The RP will not start for thirteen more days.

We should start a thread, but not go to war for 2 weeks with a neutral nation or otherwise.

Yeah, you're right. Hold on, I'll have the thread up in a jiffy.

However, there won't be any graphic maps, namely because my assistant is not around at the moment, and I can't do anything with graphics. So just use maps near you to figure out where you and your opponents are. :p

Ok, that's good just post the url in this thread then to to link back and everyone should ctrl-B (bookmark) the forum page in their broswer favorite list.

ooc. Meh, worth a try.

Can I claim Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Bolivia?

Sure, seems fine with me.

Also, the International and National Incidents thread has been created. No wars yet people, only construction and a brief history of your nations. Once the sign ups close, then knock yourselves out. :D

So we RP like basic histories of how these nations became what our user names are in the internation/national thread?

So we RP like basic histories of how these nations became what our user names are in the internation/national thread?

I believe so, but we need to move and get ahead fast if we are going to construct and build like crazy for the opening moves in two weeks.

Cheers mate! Lets get going!

Russia(Not the whole country, just that tiny, isolated part just north of Poland)
Kaliningrad Oblast. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaliningrad_Oblast

Can I have Guyana, Suriname, French Guyana, Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Bahamas, Bermuda, and all those other little Caribbean Islands?

Parthini']Can I have Guyana, Suriname, French Guyana, Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Bahamas, Bermuda, and all those other little Caribbean Islands?

What are the total land masses? O.o

Suriname, Guyana, and French Guyana are only like 400k at most. Cuba is 100k, Hispaniola is about half that, and there is no way I am calculating all those little islands... I mean, Christ, if someone can have Spain, France, Morocco, and Belgum, there is no way in hell that all those little islands equal that. And for good measure, I also want Luxemborg :p

Guyana - 196,850 sq km
Suriname - 161,470 sq km
French Guiana - 89,150 sq km
Cuba - 110,860 sq km
Haiti - 27,560 sq km
Dominican Republic - 48,730 sq km
Puerto Rico - 8,959 sq km
Jamaica - 10,831 sq km
Bahamas - 10,070 sq km
Bermuda - 53.3 sq km
Luxembourg - 2,586 sq km

done and done. Under 1 mil still!

Jezus, I have like 2/3 of the limit. It's like being a little kid in a candy store.

Ok, add Florida, and is there a way for me to get like part of a country, namely the coast of Venezuela?

Can I grab the Azores and the Channel Islands really quickly?

I cannot say you can do that or not, I am not a Mod on this. Though by all means I don't see a problem with it. Nothing else has been taken and it seems like a good stable area. Taking islands is a risky business though, they require huge amounts of support for military conflicts, and can often be passed up or bombed into submission easily now. The Pacific ocean practically belongs to me. You will rule the entire Gulf of Mexico. Make an alliance with Texarkania so you can protect him and he can provide materials, enhancing your businesses and protecting him from naval attacks. Doing such things will be a must in this Earth. Since I am playing with my MT nation which is much much much smaller then my FT one if I go up against a larger enemy I will constantly have to change tactics and pull like 20 different war styles out of seemingly no where to fight a bil+ nation.

For the International Incidents it will become very heated I bet. Since my small nation has locked onto a very large mineral source and is looking at another massive source which can be used to pump out ships and everything.

Problem is that when we begin offically in 13 days, 12 when I finish this post....That all my technology will be URBAN COMBAT. Unlike a few nations here, my backstory is one of conflict with Japan and street warfare. Such things means that if I attack a city my troops will be destroying everything and since they are customized for that warfare and the enemies won't be usually capable of fighting like this, it will be a very easy win. Since I have given my odds for attacking Korea already, my urban advantage is useless if the fighting lasts more then a few weeks. Jungle warfare will result and slow my advances to nearly nothing.

For island warfare you have to hop around like crazy. Really think about the terrain and prepare for war, you have time to construct defenses and ships already. Since this is after WWIII a tech level will be kinda all over the place. The world is repairing itself and growing again. Since the islands aren't major centers of business chances are they have suffered less and probably never got hit with a nuke or seen warfare. Advantage you.

If you live on islands and want to go to war quickly you need a few things.

Naval yards and factories and farming.>> Produce ships, weapons and supplies.

Use overpowering force to destroy sea ports and enemy naval bases fast! Swat F-16's from the skies and blast the MiGs. (Typical naval defense aircraft)

Oh well, don't want to go on and give away everything, but you get the idea. Islands are only good if they are CONNECTED! Lux. is a bad choice btw. It's too far away to be protected well.

Lol. Well my story was something like, Fidel Castro, in his senility or the Radiation from Washington?, turns Capitalist and begins uniting the Caribbean in one big Free Trade Libertarian State. Luxembourg banks begin investing in it until the Caribbean Alliance just annexes it out of friendliness. Or something.

And damnit! I wanted the Azores!

Heh...he already has some, maybe you will get it. I would cause you asked for that whole general section.

(OOC: What? F-16s are most certainly not naval defense birds. They're mainly multi-role ground attack, and air superiority over land. Argh, get facts straight before giving advice. Please! :)

And not the MiGs either. Sukois. )

Ok, just pretend I am really tired and don't know what you're talking about. Can you say that again in n00b?

Also, would anyone mind Fidel being 94?

The Pacific ocean practically belongs to me.

Don't forget me in Australia - I'm there as well and I'm looking for allies and trade, see my post in the incidents thread.

Well, I'm hoping to use my position in the Central Med to dominate the Med Sea, plus I have plans for an alliance with Helnacht, that way we can control almost all entrance and movement into and through the Med, except for the Suez canal. That means I'm gonna needa powerful Navy and Air Force, and a smaller ground Army to protect my borders with the Eastern and Central European nations.

There are two reasons why I chose the territory that I did.

1. I'm Slavic myself(Polish to be precise), and I'm... you could say connected to that territory. :p

2. I have a straight shot at Russian territory, once I capture/get past Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Russians(using this from World War Two history) generally have poor tactics. Not to mention they're in anarchy right now, which lowers their chances of really defending their territory. Their only strength really is their use of the weather, but if the invading country is actually SMART (Unlike Hitler's and Napoleon's invasions), they will advance slowly and keep their supply lines intact and safe.

I'll probably enter in an alliance with my neighboring Western European nations so that they'll stay off my back. :p

Since I still have a good amount of space to take, would anyone mind if I took little chunks of Venezuela like the River Delta, Lake Maracaibo, Caracas region, too? Oh and I claimed all the rest of the little islands like Barbados, and the Antilles, etc.

So... wait, could you run a list of what you claimed?

Ok. All the Islands in the Caribbean, From the Bahamas to Surinam. Then, Florida, Surinam, Guyana, French Guyana, Bermuda, Luxemborg, then on this map (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:EstadosVenezuela04.JPG) 23, 7, 4, 22, 14, 24, 16, 18, and 9. If naming districts is easier I can do that. All of those combined is like 150,000 km and I had like 700,000 km before, so I'm still a little behind, and I'm too tired to think of more little cities.

Make an alliance with Texarkania so you can protect him and he can provide materials, enhancing your businesses and protecting him from naval attacks.

Yeah, call me, we should talk :)

Ah hell, to make it easier for myself, I'll just give you all of Venezuela, but only because I don't want to make this too complicated. You CANNOT take any more territory after this though. Understand? I'm being nice now. :p

Aww, thanks. But now I have all this nasty jungle :mad:

I guess all the tree huggers got fried so I can turn it to ranching land :)

Can I make one itsy bitsy request? Can I have Cancun? ;)

Parthini']Aww, thanks. But now I have all this nasty jungle :mad:

OOC: Read my post in the incidents thread [NS]Parthini forget Cancun for the time being, we need to chat (can we work on alliances and stuff yet Czechoslovakia-
?)

Sure you can. Knock yourselves out.

Double post I know, but I would like to announce that Kjata Major is my newest assistant. Congrats. ^_^

Heyo
I'd like to claim Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennesse, Kentucky, West Virginia, Delaware, and Israel. With all of that it comes approx. to 990,000 square kil. so i think im barely ok. If im doin the math right

Oh Sardukarr, I would REALLY want to keep your land close together, since Israel is on the other side of the ocean and will be practically landlocked and sea restricted by other nations it is a REALLY bad choice to ask for the land. Too hard to supply and protect.

what happened to earths 7, 8, and 9?

Bump, bump, make your claims, get your free land here - up to 1 miilion sq km, just for the asking

what happened to earths 7, 8, and 9?

They were swallowed by a black hole :p

Probably a good point, i just got greedy. For the record, change my israel claim to maryland. along with all the others.

Oh ya BUMP! For new people.

May I claim the Sichuan And Chongquing provinces of China? Together theyt equal 863,000 square kilometers.

Wow ok...unusual placement. Land is not taken though.

Well, They are the 2 most poulopus provinces in china, Protected by Mesas, Mountains and Desert. Plus, I want to see who here is smart enough to find them!

The rivers are good for a navy, but the problem for me is the pollution and isolated area. Though that may be a good thing in this Earth.

Eh, Im gonna go ahead and claim Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and Turkey. The Mediterranean will be mine.

The Fatherland will take over Saudi Arabia, Oman, Yemen, United Arab Emrites, Qatar, and Kuwait. Basically the whole Arabian Peinsula.

Umm ya, your too small to take a 'ghost' yet. Well...maybe a baby one, like Lich....nevermind, don't want to give ideas!

Roman Republic....that's alot of desert and oil....people WILL want that!

ooc. Meh, worth a try.

Can I claim Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Bolivia?
Wait a sec... finally got around to checking your claims, and they're WAY too high.

So, I'm going to kick your nation from the RP, and your claimed territory will be neutral. You can of course come back and claim again, but check to make sure it's under 1 million kilometers next time. Kay?

Could I claim:

Ashmore and Cartier Islands: 5 km
Cocos (Keeling) Islands: 14 km
Heard Island and McDonald Islands: 412 km
Maldives: 300 km
Christmas Island: 135 km
Laos: 200,300 km
Thailand: 511,770 sq km
Federated States of Micronesia: 702 km
Soloman Islands: 27,540 sq km
New Caledonia: 18,575 sq km
Cook Islands: 240 km
Kiribati: 811 km
Wake Island: 6.5 km
Johnston Atoll: 2.8 km
Northern Mariana Islands: 477 km
Nauru: 21 km
Tuvalu: 26 km
Howland Island: 1.6 km
Baker Island: 1.4 km
Marshall Islands: 181.3 km
French Polynesia: 4,167 sq km (all 118 islands and atolls)
New Zealand: 268,021 sq km
East Timor: 15,007 sq km
Coral Sea Islands: less then 3 km (say 3 km)
Vanuatu: 12,200 sq km
Samoa: 2,934 sq km

The total comes to 1048843.6 sq km. If that is a little much can you nix Laos?

The total area is a little over the limit, but the islands are very small and connected. Resources are high on these islands and are important to my small nation.

Mmm... ah sure... I'll get rid of Laos and let you claim the rest. You can conquer it later right? :p

I am not sure whether I'd be able to join this Earth. I'd like to set up shop in Brazil, but apparently, I won't be able to fit Brazil into the 1 million square kilometer claim.

I need to know if the limit will be removed once the period of expansion and warfare begins? I'd love to establish a Meso-American Empire, like the Aztecs, Maya, and Inca of old. :)

Just grab part of Brazil and expand into the rest as I'm doing in Australia - read the history of Earth X on the incidents thread and go for it. You're a great RP'r Sharina, you could do this.

Heh, ya its no prob. Since the South America land is practically untouched, it doesn't appear to get crowded anytime soon.

Okay. Put me down for Eastern Brazil and I can start from there. That good, everybody?

If I'm accepted, then I'd be more than happy to rumble around in Earth X. I'm an Earth-shaker, as Maui already knows. ;)

whats shakin homeys
i couldnt find the incidents thread, its buried somewhere . . .
i can do the maps if we need em. cause it looks like we do.
whats the verdict?

There ya go

We have a person doing maps, but I created my own. You might want to also.

Thanks for confirming me. I was wondering when I could start expanding into the rest of Brazil? Can I start immediately, or is there still a "waiting period"? :)

Hmm, have I been confirmed yet? *sad*

How about Zaire, Congo, Tanzania, Burundi, Angola, and Zambia? Since I have a large population of 2.8 billion, I also ask that addictional Uganda and Rawanda (extremely small nations) and Sudan to be added. I am sure 2.8 billion could rest in these nations. If not, than I think Ehtiopia and Gabon will get a wake-up call.

Hmm, have I been confirmed yet? *sad*

It's czh's thread, I dunno.

Yes, you are confirmed now. I apologize, I'm being lazy. I'll try to be more active from now on...

Finally, anyone who can make the maps, make them and please post them up... the sign ups will be closing in 5 days.

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that's WAY over the 1 million square kilometer limit. Population doesn't matter. You can expand LATER.

Your claims are not noted until they are under the 1 million square kilometer limit.

I'm not sure on the limit, but I am guessing it is about 3 million....

How about just Zaire (Dem. Rep. of Congo) and Sudan for now. I will expand later, then (just need room for population).

Sorry bout that, didn't take note of the limit.

Tis ok. Just a minor mistake. Welcome aboard.

BUMP! Two days to go! Claim land now before it's too late!

Any way I could play as the French Resistance?

I know France is already claimed, and don't take me as being new meaning I am stupid, but it would be interesting to have a Revolution.

And yes, I am well aware it is COMPLETELY up to the guy who currently holds France.

... I don't see why not. It IS up to Helnacht, but I'll put you down anyway as "The French Resistance" until Helnacht replies and says yes or no.
