Its everybodies favorite 19th century RP of imperialism, death and various exploding objects!
In this incarnation, Earth Imperialism is set in the mid-19th century, shortly after the (historical) start of the Crimean War. Of course, we have taken some liberties with history in order to improve gameplay.
In this history, the United Kingdom became somewhat apathetic after the Napoleonic Wars, its great fleet gradually deteriorated until the present day, when most of its ships are terribly outdated or rotting. With Britain weakened and forced out of the Western Hemisphere by the likes of Spain, what will become of the world?
Other current events include a Russian colonisation effort in the Pacific Northwest's Oregon Country, French re-capture of Canada, and a Ming revolution in China.
Our resident history-writing-person (official title) is doing a fine job of piecing things together, and many historical events remain, although some, such as the War of 1812, have been modified since it would not be possible for the United Kingdom to take part in them considering its weakened state.
Many have asked, "Why weaken the UK so much? What did they do to you?". Well, to be honest, the Pax Brittanica is a rather annoying. The only area the United Kingdom couldnt simply destroy/blockade anybody who dared defy its will was Central Asia, and the only nation that could seriously do anything there was Russia.
There are various other reasons particular to the RP, but we wont go into them.
Many nations are still avalible, so please, join us, snag a good nation and see what happens while we spiral merrily through the corridors of what-if history making.
