EARTH VII

Claims Thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=447400)
News Thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=447404)

Welcome to the Earth VII Sign Up thread!
This is a similiar thread to my claims thread. Basically you name a country or multiple smaller countries joined together to start out in, with the amount based on popiulation and area (This Earth is 2 times the original size) See the claims thread for current claims

NEW GUIDELINES
First, you get allocation points. These go as follows:
Under 750 million: 1
751-1000 million: 2
1000-1999 million: 3
2000 million +: 4
The numbers mean how much allocation you have. The amount each country is worth is:
Tiny country: 0.5
Small group of islands: 0.5
Small country: 1
Small state: 1.5
Medium country: 2
Large state: 3
Large country: 3

Here's an idea of how much land each represents:
Tiny country: Luxembourg
Small group of islands: Most of the islands-countries in the Pacific
Small country: Switzerland
Small state: Most states
Medium country: Portugal
Large country: Germany
Large state: California, Texas, Pennyslvania

It's easier than the old system quite frankly

I'd like to sign up for this

The Kraven Corporation, will put in my claim for land in the other thread, I assume this is right way of doing so?

Oh is PMT allowed?

Nistolonia is signing up. Actually, so is Sollion.
And the whole of the UIS (8 nations, 3 of which are tiny)

Yes, the claim in the other thread will be entirely satisfactory. It is allowed to post in both threads, but as long as you have the mechanisms for size right it is OK. You are permitted to 225,000 sq km of Antartica designated by you, with the rest allowed to be invaded. And PMT is allowed, I myself am PMT

You do realize there already is an Earth 7?
I do now. However, I will regard this as Earth VII of these forums, and you can call yours Earth 7. To keep it separate I will use the Roman numerals

Nistolonia is signing up. Actually, so is Sollion.
And the whole of the UIS (8 nations, 3 of which are tiny)
Excellent. Please inform them to post their nations.

Southern Argentina and the west of Antartica have been taken by the region of the UIS and Kraven Corporation respectively. Remember, you don't want to miss out out on land you desire greatly like on other Earths ;)

Count me in, i'll take Norway, Finland and Sweden. At ~850 million this is well within my limit. It'll take me a while to get the full force of my military involved because of huge reforms in bodyarmour, but when i do then i think i'll go explore europe. With tanks.
Also, could my colour on the map be a shade of grey, not too picky which.

You may need to re-read the policy...
At 850M, you can take 68,000 sq km in Europe (it's no longer 100x, and even if it was it's the same RL size). That's about 1/7 of Sweden ior 1/5 of Norway or Finland. It's to encourage expansion, so you CAN roleplay an invasion into the rest of Scandinavia if you want. Remember, they aren't too powerful but be reasonable!

Ah, my bad. In that case i'll have the western coast of norway. I intend for my first course of action to spread out and border with Kraven Corporation.

OK then. FYI, it wasn't possible to get you a grey coloiur,so it'll be pale yellow. Please post your claim in the Claims thread for adminstrative reasons :)

OOC:Not actually RP'd or claimed outside of a regional forum, so so bear with my awkwardness, Just had eye surgery and only have maybe 1 percent effective vision. so I don't alwasy catch all typos etc.

Am I correct I don't have to RP the starting country,just any subsequent?

Also, on behalf of another of my countries, New Preussen. I clai Germany, or it's Earth VIII equivalent. If need be I'd settle for Prussia.

Greetings and Salutations

The Commonwelath of Unidos officially announces it's intention to claim the area that is the Earth VIII equialent of Indiana in the North American continent In the event i it is part of an existing claim, The Commonwealth is willing to negotiate for it, either by a trade against future claims, sponsoring claim to territory within the Sunbelt region or other goods or services.

The Commonwealth has been authroized by the Kingdom of New Preussen to make claim upon the Earth ViII equivalent of Germany, or if that is not available, that territory which constituted Prussia. The Commonwealth's Embassy to the Organization of Sovereign Nations maintains the trade and diplomatic Interest sections for the Kingdom of New Preusen which will conduct any initial negotiations which will then be concluded by the Kingdom..

Hmm...You're so far in the guidelines it's not funny. Welcome aboard! You better make sure you have a good military because the owner of Pennslyvania might try and attack you in his East Coast expansion (if he ever posts again Oo). Where can I find military specs?

OOC:

Unidos forces are 100,000 for now. plus whatever forces were native to the region either in original formations or absorbed into Unidos ones.

Based on the earlier premise that since Earth ?VI is twice as large as NS Earth 1/RL Earth. Unidos has a total of 32 divisions of Army and Marine forces it can draw upon. plus air force ,navy, support and non divisional units within the Army and Marines
By Earth VII standards the Unidos fleet has 8 carrier groups at it's disposal. though they are not likely to be needed. As previously mentioned, littoral/brown water navy units will be deployed in the Great Lakes and rivers
( Including ,but not limited to the Wabash,some areas of the Mississippi.

As for Pennsylvania. should it wish to negotiate a mutually acceptable boundary etc. we would be amenable. However Unidos would take a dim view of any attempts to expand beyond the western borders of Ohio,
and is capable of preventing any acts of aggression.




Pretty comfortably in the rights for Germany, so welcome! Military specs?[/QUOTE]

The political and military picture looks something like this. :

New Preussen has 42 divisions by Earth VII standards , a sizable navy. It is worth noting that as an ally of Unidos, in some circumstances it might be willing to provide aid ,assistance or even direct military force as part of bilateral and multilateral security agreements.

It intends to incorporate as many of the existing German security forces into it's own. given the experiences of reunification of the German military, and the far better economic prospects now possible , this should not be unduly difficult.

In light of Germany's previous history, they will be relieved to know that the military does not swear an oath of loyalty to the king but to the state. and that in matters military and civil efforts will be made to allow Germany to retain as much of the Basic Law as possible within the framework of New Preussen's constitution and laws.

Initial deployment within Germany will be 400,000 troops.

Naval forces in area will vary but certainly New Preussen can call upoon even more naval resources than Unidos. Although it woudl be unlikely the Germanic Allianceof Nations would become involved in any conflict on Earth VII. it quite likely would take over security duties for New Preussen in it's home regions to permit deployment of New Preussen forces here. not unlike NATO inceasing their share of the collective security burden ,freeing US troops for use in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Both Unidos and NP ( New Preussen) are MT nations, with some small allowances for 'day after tomorrow' technology.

Unidos uses many of the same weapon systems as the US and similar strucutes, however it does not have anything remotely similar to the US's preexisting overseas obligations.

New Preussen ,no surprisingly , is using weapns and systems similar to those of he Bundeswehr. but has not had he economic upheaval during it's reunification that RL Germany did. It's teritories, thankfly were occupied by a prosperous cpaitalist emprie Since the occupants of the occupied teritories stuck stubbornly to their traditiojal culture and language cultural reunfication was relatively smooth.

There are many differences from the RL nations. for example, New Preussen did not suffer the horros of Nazi or Soviet rule. and has , over teme become rather more democratic than Prussia was. The passsions that might have been swayed by extremism were drawn to the one shinign goal of freing the 'captive' provinces and makign the Vaterland whole again. REunited now for 20 years, New Preussn loos outward but is very sensitive to not wanting to forcibly annex territory. This is why Germany on Earth VII, as a non contested territory, culturally and ethnically similar was carefully courted, and
it will not be what some would call a 'shotgun wedding.' In return, once part of the Vaterland, Germany will be prtected agaisnt threat with as much vitor as it's original provinces, will put enormous economic resources into reducing the unemployment closer to New Preussen's own and strengthening the economy. German poitical parties will be sought as partners in the forming of coalitons infuure NP elections. While junior partners, the priorities of Germany's people will play a signifcant role in national policy.

OK, that's a nice amount of detail on your country,
Anyone else wish to sign up
(P.S I've not posted in days because I have been so busy at work, sorry guys)

Hmm, what land is it you want?
I may be willing to make an exception depending on the land size desired

well the aim is to get England, so say something like the north east cornor. a chunk of that will do. After that i can work up on takeing the rest of it (if its no claimed, dont think it is when i looked at claimed threads).


If your thinking im just a noob just to let you know this is a Puppet Nation of CorpSac (4 billion pop), so i kinda know what im doing.

OK, I'll just give you most of Scotland for simplicity. Can I do a deal with you over future conquest of England, involving London? I want to gain the boroughs of Lambeth, Southwark, Croydon, Lewisham, Greenwich, Bexley and Bromley, and I'd be willing to confirm a treaty that will award them to me in future conquests. In return, I'll pay a designated fee
Oh, and remember that Britain may be quite tough. You have NATO, the RAF and the Royal Navy to contend with - remember, Britain won WW1 and WW2! :)

Scotland for wasteland! :p
I live in the south of England :). By the way, if you invade Ireland, any chance of an agreement over that? I'm a quarter Irish :rolleyes:

I would to claim India.

I would to claim India.
Didn't look at the land rules, eh? You can claim as of current ONE TENTH of India. If you want more, you have to RP it

I don't want to join. I just asked a question and thank you for answering it.

Is it possible for me to claim Finland, or if that's impossible the remainder of Norway or Sweden?

Is it possible for me to claim Finland, or if that's impossible the remainder of Norway or Sweden?
I'll give you Finland and Sweden, especially since I know you're an effective and quite active roleplayer from Earth V (I've read both on-site news threads). In fact, I think I'll be simplifing the sign-up rules as it may be discouraging too many people from signing up. OK, new rules are you have this many points:
Under 750 million: 1
751-1000 million: 2
1000-1999 million: 3
2000 million +: 4
The numbers mean how much allocation you have. The amount each country is worth is:
Tiny country: 0.5
Small group of islands: 0.5
Small country: 1
Small state: 1.5
Medium country: 2
Large state: 3

Here's an idea of how much land each represents:
Tiny country: Luxembourg
Small group of islands: Most of the islands-countries in the Pacific
Small country: Switzerland
Small state: Most states
Medium country: Portugal
Large country: Germany
Large state: California, Texas, Pennyslvania

Ok, thanks. I'll post something right away!

Wow, we had an active roleplaying night last night. Saw about three different Earth VII threads, a treaty was signed over Gibraltar, someone started developing a nuclear program and good roleplaying all round
Anyone want to sign up?

I agree, found myself at a bit of a loose end last night, so decided to up the anti on it all... Conference thread comming up later tonight or early tomorow

Well, Earth VII was less active tonight, but still a couple of threads by CorpSec. What I do now know is Earth VII is becoming a good, active Earth with experienced roleplayers (Warta Endor comes to mind). I encourage you to join today - there's an offer on France :P. Each segment of France is now 1 point if you take one, and 2.5 if you take 2.

Tonissia Wants to claim Virginia And Floridia

You can take Florida or Virginia and a total of 2 other allocated points. Take your pick

I would like to take the 1/2 part of south India.

I would like to take the 1/2 part of south India.
I presume you mean south India. Welcome!

I presume you mean south India. Welcome!

Yes I did, Sorry. I should have rephased the sentaced to be: "I would like to have 1/2 of India, the southern part."

Okay, I might claim something, but I don't know what's left and at the moment I can't be fagged to go through and see.

Yes I did, Sorry. I should have rephased the sentaced to be: "I would like to have 1/2 of India, the southern part."
OK, got it
Current events in a nutshell:
Rolatia and Warta Endor are preparing to go to war with CorpSec Corporation due to nuclear weapons possession
Pyschotika recently signed treaties that stop him advancing any further into France. He also signed a treaty that means Gibraltar is shared with Rolatia

Okay, I might claim something, but I don't know what's left and at the moment I can't be fagged to go through and see.
Well, most of western Europe is taken, bar Northern and Southern France (was split in two), Spain, Portugal and Italy. Most states are available, most of Africa and Asia are available and most of Oceania is available as a quick look. You'll just have to look at the front page though - not that hard :D

Okay, my population is about 1.3 billion, meaning I get 4 points, right?

If so, how many points would Greenland, Iceland, Guyana, Guiana and Surinam be in total?

China falls in the 'huge' category - not imeidately claimable. Brazil is prbably huge but I let it slip since it's not a majopr world power
Jagonia: I'll check your claim tomorrow

Have you updated it yet?

Have you updated it yet?
I've updated your claim, but still have to do Tonissia's when I get home

Okay, my population is about 1.3 billion, meaning I get 4 points, right?

If so, how many points would Greenland, Iceland, Guyana, Guiana and Surinam be in total?

Probably...4 points I think. 2 for Greenland and half each for the others. I can't check exactly but it seems reasonable, so welcome!

Guyana was taken.

Guyana was taken.
As I see :D Thanks!
Jagonia: You have another choice now - sorry, but you snooze you lose :P

Okay, I didn't see that Guyana was taken, sorry. Is Sealand taken? It's a small platform off the coast of Kent.

Actually, I just checked and it was Guiana, not Guyana, that was taken, so if I get Guyana and Sealand replaces Guiana?

Hmm, OK. I assume that means French Guinana (or whatever it is called) and Sealand off the coast of England? Sounds fair, I'll update the thread later

Actually, I meant British Guyana, as Guiana (French one) seems to have been taken.

Actually, I meant British Guyana, as Guiana (French one) seems to have been taken.
Apparently there's some confusion. British Guyana is taken by me, French is not

Hmm. Okay, but when I checked the claim list, I only saw "Guiana" being taken. I assumed this meant French, but obviously I was wrong, so I'll take French Guiana and Sealan. Phew.

OK, I'll updatyed later as I'm going out soon and have work to do
By the way, I researched into Sealand and the concept. Pretty interesting :D

Sealand is an interesting country. Welcome in. You will need to protect Sealand, as it can't have any military and can't support more than some members...

Sealand is an interesting country. Welcome in. You will need to protect Sealand, as it can't have any military and can't support more than some members...
I know, I've been reading about Sealand and micro-nations for half a hour so far...
Maybe you could expand Sealand? You may want to do it eastward in international waters, as CorpSec may blow your brains out anyway (:P) and you don't want to extend further towards England
As a note, if you extend Sealand with more platforms and such, can I establish an embassy there?

Sealand is pretty interesting, while it is a bit of a joke. :)

I was thinking about expanding it, you obviously read my mind. As for defence, I also control Iceland, so hopefully I could relay forces from there in time if Sealand came under attack.

As a note, if you extend Sealand with more platforms and such, can I establish an embassy there?

Yes.

since it's two times bigger, it is like two platforms. I would also want to have an embassy in the Principality of Sealand. May I??

Thanks for your co-operation. When it is established, I'd be happy to allow your nation to have an embassy in Rolatia

since it's two times bigger, it is like two platforms. I would also want to have an embassy in the Principality of Sealand. May I??

Of course. The Principality of Sealand welcomes all with open arms (apart from the German who kidnapped Prince Michael).

Okay. Soon we will be allies.

Bump

The name of French Guyanna we should use here is Cayenne...

We'll call it French Guinea :D
BUMP

why guinea?? The name it will/shall/should/would receive (if) it declare independence will/shall/should/would be Cayenne...

why guinea?? The name it will/shall/should/would receive (if) it declare independence will/shall/should/would be Cayenne...
Fine, Cayenne it is.

I'm signing up as "The Independent Republic of California". California, of course, being my starting state.
