OOC: Who would like to play as a colonial master of the small Corrupt Dictatorship of Atolia.

The Corrupt dictatorship can be the nations (people) and they can rule over the Atolian people in corrupt management. However, their tactics can be violent and brutal at times but they also have to present an Excellent civil rights to the Atolian people before open war.

Also,under the rule of colonial masters, whoever wants to be Atolian masters, there will be several Atolian groups that will be fighting (politically and violently) against the other nation's rule.

One last thing, the age is MT.

I'm good. Might be a little small.

That's is okay. It would be better that way if combat got heavy that it could go to nationalist appeal that a province of Lroon is trying to seperate away. Just state your pop, and I don't see any problem in it.

I may be interested, though I am a new nation with not that big of a population, I have an idea for the Colonial rule of Atolia, if you are interested and if I am able to be Colonial Master.

I don't know it would be up to you two nations to decide if you wanted like one area to be under Armekh control and another under Lroon control. And possibly add a map for reference. I will start a thread about Atolia history and the factions that would be fighting, and a link for this thread for discussion.

That sounds like an ok idea. Perhaps Armekh and Lroon forces could work together? Who knows. Anywho, you can set it up as you like, since it is your idea. Thanks for allowing me in this.

Eight million currently. I also have a very corrupt government, and a habit of falsifying reports to make people believe my country has much better rights than it does.

Just some quick examples of what life in my country is like, pretty much all media consists of A) Government sponsored propoganda or B) Porn. There may even be some twisted combinations.

There are a number of crimes which deprieve you of all legal rights, in other words, the cops can do whatever they want to you.

There's the rich rich, and the dirt poor and generally uneducated.

I'm off to bed now. School tomorrow.

Can I maybe provide covert support to the Atolian rebels? I could supply many weapons and there are plenty of mercenaries for hire from No Taxes.

This looks pretty interesting. If you like, I could have the Imperial Commonwealth control a small portion of Atolia (think Britain's Gibraltar set against Fascist Spain), and provide weapons and money to rebels. Maybe even a few special forces?

Pick me. You can be a Griffincrest 'associate'. It will be fun.
Atolia
08-09-2006, 02:46
Okay if it is okay for Lroon and Armekh nation, Malkyer and Griffincrest can also have small parts of Atolian territory. So the main sections would be Lroon and Armekh control and smaller parts would be Malkyer and Griffincrest.

Also Malkyer can provide resources to the rebels if they want, I don't see a problem at all. And No taxes can provide resources and mercenaries if they want as well.

Can someone make a map? Make Atolia of whatever design you want because I am not good at map drawing but we would probably need a map.

It is possible. The first goal is for independence but some Atolian groups may just be happy with autonomy. Will have to see how it shapes up.

I wish to hold a small sector of your nation. We will be highly religeous and highly fanatic.

You can choose me as I am Imperialistic power that is centered around an old nobility and Imperial family ruling. As well, we are centered around a capital province with a number of satellite sub nations and kingdoms.

31337 Soup and The Scandanavians can also have small sections of Atolia as well.

All I require is a large city and its surrounding area. What could this city be named?
Atolia
08-09-2006, 03:07
Well the city could be name Tacali, with a population of 100,000 people and the surrounding region as well.

Ok, your citizens under my control will be organized into tiers.

The church body is made up of tiers, five total; with different privileges for each the lowest getting the most help while the higher up had better services (parties, nicer temples, better paid practitioners.) The tiers are separated greatly with one tier not allowed to mingle with another. (IE: marriage. working with another tier was allowed though didn't often happen.

1st tier- This tier is made up of only 2 people; the current Prime Minister and the Current Emperor.

2nd tier- Reserved for members of the senate and the upper class.

3rd tier- The Middle class, those of average income.

4th tier- The lower class, they can still get by but living is hard. Most are in great debt.

5th tier- The homeless, those with no normal home, usually living on the street or in shelters.

i figured you would like to know this.

Thank you. So the Blackhelm confederacy wants a small region and thank you 31337 Soup for the tier system that would make up your section.

So for my sector does about 625,000 civilians and an area of about 50,000 square kilometers sound good?
Atolia

About 625,000 civilians sounds good, but make it more of 10,000 sg kilometers.

About 625,000 civilians sounds good, but make it more of 10,000 sg kilometers.Good then, but can we settle on something like twenty five thousand square miles as that seems more fighting for such a large popualtion in a developing colony of my Empire.

Social Classes (from top to bottom):

Ruling: Emperor and High Imperial Families

Nobility: Descended from the Valgardian ruling class that arrived from the Scandinvan Empire and led the province. They must be of pure Valgardian blood to be in and they are extremely arrogant and look down on the natives of the province and are elitists and extremely loyal to the Emperor::3250 Members

Military: Soldiers that have been sent by the Empire to occupy the province: 25,000 Members

Colonists: People who have arrived from the Empire and are the leading non-noble people of society and are the third most powerful and mostly Scandinvans and the rest are German of descent: 35,000 Members

Imperial Class Natives: People are who have accepted Imperial rule and about a fourth of them posses large amounts of Valgardian or Colonists blood due to the fact of inter group relations taking place nearly only between native women and Imperial men who left their children as bastards to their mothers, but allowed for them to become part of the middle class. They are basically the educated, leading, and skilled workers of the province’s society as only people who have become Imperial who allowed to be any of those: 50,000 Members

Middle Class Natives: People who are shunned by the higher parts of the Imperial colony culture who have mixed loyalties mostly to the Empire’s presence in their homeland with people who either are loyalists or rebels. This includes all people who have own land, includes small farmers: 115,000 Members

Urban Natives: People who moved into the cities and towns established by the Empire who came seeking a better future in the cities. These people usually work as laborers for the colony, as factory workers, fishermen, dock workers, servants, maids, and many other urban carriers: 125,000 members

Rural Natives: Basically the lowest class who work on the lands that belong to the Valgardian noble elite who employ the rural natives on their vast estates working on growing grains and cash crops such as cotton and coca. They are not forced to live on the lands, but the society basically gives them no other choice: 300,000 members
Lroon

I'm a simple folk. The majority of Lroon with a few exceptions, can be divided up into three classes, ranked smallest to largest, and highest to lowest.

The Party: The controlling force of Lroon and annexed territories. They are the fiscal and social elite, and own most of the businesses. They also determine the politics.

The Overseers/Foremen: The closest thing to a middle class. They run the factories, administrate, etc. They are also, having something of an education, the most closely watched by the security forces.

The Resources: As they are called, are every one else. They are provided with bread, booze, and bed, and fed a healthy diet of government propoganda. Anybody trying to stir up revolution among those long part of Lroon will have to overcome a lifetime of indoctrination and apathy. Think 1984 by George Orwell.

Naturally, Atolia, being comparitively newly added are not yet well seperated into these groups, and are less indoctrinated.

Can I join? I would love to be one of the colonial occupiers. Perhaps a medium sized city, a nearby military base, a port, and a large Iron Ore field?
