NationStates Jolt Archive

This is just a post to see whether there is much interest for a Napoleonic era Earth. I have a fairly extensive knowledge of the politics and weaponry of the era and would act as Head Moderator and War Moderator. I would take control of a minor nation and would ajudicate in battles using fair methods and would fairly judge political ramifications of decisions taken by players.



Basically, each player would take control of a nation, probably European, though America and South American resistance movements will also be playable, and then navigates his or her country/people, through the political landmines of 17th/18th Century Europe. If there is enough interest in this thread I will begin to look for other Moderators to join me in keeping the RP on track. Battles can either be decided by myself (or another appointed war moderator), or they can be Rp'ed by players. In this case, the players would create a thread for the battle and take it in turns to post their troop movements and then a war moderator will decide the outcome of the
movements.



Every week a new year will begin and the months will be played out as follows:

Monday- January/February
Tuesday- March/April/May
Wedneseday- June
Thursday-July
Friday- August/September
Saturday- October/November
Sunday- December



I am heavily indebted to E20 for the timescale I will adopt and doubtless other things I have picked up from there. (by the way E20 people I'm still gonna be participating there heavily). Summer here is lengthened as it is campaigning season and Sunday is only one month because a lot of people cannot be here on Sunday for whatever reason.

And yeah this would be 'participate when you can'. However, a certain level of commitment would be expected from major players (e.g. UK, France, German States, Spain etc...).






There will also be a few modifications to history. The Earth would start in 1760 and the following entities will be present, regardless of their existence in RL. I have let some of the superpowers exist that would otherwise be broken up by now purely to not need so many roleplayers to play the numerous city states and tiny kingdoms that would be around now. These countries are also open as of now if there is enough interest.

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland: Rodenka

Kingdom of France: Jensai

Holy Roman Empire (here it will include the states of Bavaria, Carinthia, Modern Day Czecheslovakia and Saxony, just for convenience) : Waldenburg 2

Kingdom of Prussia:

Kingdom of Sweden: Gintonpar

Kingdom of Denmark (occupying Norway):

Most Catholic Kingdom of Spain:

Kingdom of Portugal:

Kingdom of the Netherlands (includes Belgium here):

Czardom of Russia:

Empire of Austria-Hungary:

The Ottoman Empire:

Kingdom of Poland: Madnestan

The American Independence Movement (in this timeline, in its infancy and still a mainly peaceful movement lobbying for recognition from the UK, but it could turn VERY ugly):

Kingdom of Naples:

Dukedom of Milan:

Dukedom of Lombardy:

Kingdom of Piedmont:


and any others I have missed out....

Also, applications to be moderators are welcome but you must prove your willingness and credentials a little. Again, I'm VERY grateful to the creators of the E20 alternate history Earth for the main guidelines on how it should be run. Thanks. And yeah, let me know if you are interested everyone :)

Placeholder.

I hoped for some french Marshall but it wouldn't propably work in a game like this... Regardless, could the Liberation Movement/Grand Duchy/Kingdom of Poland be playable? If not, Prussia would be in my interrests, though Poland would be for more fun.

EDIT: Sorry for the misread, if anyone saw my embarrassing starting year question already.

Since I don't want to be stuck with russia again I would like to sign up as the Holy Roman Empire.
Great idea with turns and such.

I'm in Ginton. You know I love history. I'll take...le Belle France. I just love those Frenchies.

I think you will find if you choose it you can have a revolution as long as you have a build up to it if you want to be France and there is a lot of scope for individual tactics, you just need to let me know what you are doing in the individual battles and I will decide, taking into account the other persons movements, whether you are successful or not.

I'll be Prussia.

Well, I'm going to rule that Poland is a fairly stable independent kingdom at the moment, though it is coveted by several powerful neighbours.

All claims ratified.


Roll up! Roll up! Plenty more to go yet!

What would you say about a system like this; I play a Polish nobleman who is leading a small Polish patriot army in the ranks of French army? You know, gaining experience and acting as sort like a mercenaries for the Old Corsican, wishing that he would grant them an independent nation. That's even pretty historical. In that way I can perhaps lead a small army in the ranks of the French and at the same time plan the liberation, playing also as the supporters of the Patriot Army in Poland, Home Army if you'd call it so :D

If you all players could create a news thread for their countries? Just with some basic information about their country, form of government and military? That would be very helpful for me and I shall put the links to those threads on this main page. I realise I am borrowing for the main design of the Earth heavily from E20 and I am doing that solely because E20 works SO DAMN WELL. lol. anyway, if the players could create a mini news thread that would be cool.

*startts banging on a drum*

Join up and see the world!

I really don't think a foreign noble would be given command of any forces within France itself, and also the French Revolution has not happened yet. Though it probably will happen if there are no reforms. And even then, it is not certain by any means that Bonaparte will come to the fore.

I assume we call this NE for Napoleon Earth?

Uh...sorry, but I decided I want to change to Britain.

It's all good brother:)

And yes Jensai, like the idea.

Polish Army. In France. There were several regiments in that position in french army, and even a whole Polish Army during the Russian Campaign. Even after the disaster Poles kept on fighting, in France, in their own units but armed and supplied by French, commanded by Polish noblemen. That's what I thought. Of course, this is irrelevant at this point, but I still think that there will be a man who in the certain point, at the right moment, appears in the French court, giving a heartbreaking story about his oppressed country and the thousands of men he could smuggle to France and lead to fight against Austria, Prussia and/or Russia. But this belongs to the IC thread...
Just some thoughts.

No it is a good point, but much of this RP will be political and only in major battle I'm guessing will your character come to light.

*cracks whip* come on! there plenty more places to go around.

*bangs the drum a bit more*

Well, I'm going to go sleep now but feel free to claim nations here and if you have claimed them first theres no real reason I would deny you so go ahead and make your news thread pending confirmation. I should have my (Sweden's) News Thread up by this time tomorrow, but I will be updating other stuff before then.

Rum ta ta tum.

Uh...sorry, but I decided I want to change to Britain.

Yea I changed you.

And yes NE for Napoleonic Earth.

Now show some love people!! There must be more of you out there. Theres plenty free and the RP won't start until we have filled a few more. and existing players could you do your news threads?

Any questions telegram myself :)

Just to confirm, if not taken yet, i'll stay with Austria like in the starting game...

Gintonpar here. For some reason I can't log on with my normal username so I can't update the first post but Austria is yours. Any other players interested? Come on theres more to be taken:)

I'd be interested in RPing as an independent United States (if you're going to do *Napoleonic*, you'd have to have the U.S. be independent already).

The starting year is 1760, it stands right there in the first post.

Looks interesting. Too bad I'm away fro three days (or at least till friday). Prussia looks promising...I'll check the thread when I'm back.

Warta BUMP

I take it that this will be played out on NS, in that case I'll be Spain.

Yes thats fine I shall edit you in as that. It would be interesting to maybe try diplomatic independence from the UK (Rodenka) because if there are no major wars in Europe for a while the UK could utilise its whole military against you. But still, when I finally am allowed on my account I shall confirm you.

Czar Of Russia Please:)

Czar Of Russia Please:)

Confirmed...once I can get on the forums as Gintonpar. And Aust you are confirmed as Spain.

Hell, I'll just make a new thread under this name I can't be bothered to wait. Wait and I shall post a new thread.

New thread. And get making those news threads to post info in etc. :)

G2G to bed now, but rest assured Polish News Thread will occure ASAP tomorrow.

OOC: Would we be conducting all the RPing in the main thread you just created or would we create new threads with Earth NE in the title?

Seperate threads with 'Earth NE' clearly labelled.

Okay I've finished my News Thread for Sweden. Could you all please post your news threads in the main thread that has been recently been set up by myself and which is:

This is where any more questions about the thread should be, unless you wish to telegram me (use either Commnista or Gintonpar).

The freshly created 'Swedish News Thread' is in the following link:

Hello. I would like to RP a South American Resistance movement lead by Simon Bolivar. I know, he would only be around six years old now, but if you could find it in your hearts to allow him to exist in 1760, I would forever be indebted to you.

What happened to the first Version of Earth NE?

Oh well. I guess I will claim the Kingdom of Denmark/Norway.
