The reborn Earth NA (for Not Another Earth. It's an inside joke, you had to be there :D ) Is open and accepting new members. If a diplomacy/ potential millitary RP set in Post Modern tech sounds like your thing, just sign up here, and when we have enough players (likely 6 to 12), I'll post the territorial Claims and IC threads.

Can I claim the pacific ocean, with no land?
In all due seriousness, I guess I could start up a second country. Let the nation of Havaco be formed! I shall claim the midwestern states of America, if that is alright. Let the nation of Havaco be formed.

My vice-thread mod and I have between us claimed all of Canada, the US, and Mexico. Everything else is open, we'll probably have a population cap on how much territory you can claim. Welcome aboard!
EDIT: You could claim the Islands in the Pacific if you wanted. We'll see how many players we have, that'll effect hte land claim limit, too. In fact, I may, if we gat enough players give up some of my claim.
Well, if we are talking about continents here, than I'll claim Russia, the countries west of them, and Iceland.

Please wait until we have enough players before you claim land. My vice-mod and I are reclaiming what we controlled on the original thread, but that's subject to change if we get a lot of people interested. Don't worry, lots of prime real estate available, (that includes Antarctica). Good to see you're enthusiasm, though. :D

If a diplomacy/ potential millitary RP set in Post Modern tech sounds like your thing, just sign up here, and when we have enough players (likely 6 to 12), I'll post the territorial Claims and IC threads.
From WG Headline News, Wasted Genius News Network's 24 hour information service:
Breaking News: Earth NA To Add New Nations!
New and existing nations of Earth NA await the beginning of a conference to stake new territorial claims all over the world. The international meeting is expected to take place at 6:30 PM, Eastern Time and will be carried live on Maineiacs News Network.
The Liberal Utopia Maineaics will officially announce the rules and location of the meeting before it begins.
Stay tuned for more details as this story develops.
OOC: This is really just a bump.

OK, folks, sorry I'm late. Before we get into bidding, Let's lay down the rules:
1) No goddmoding. The era is post-modern tech, so while your nation may have a space program (if you can afford it, and RP the R&D), you do not have a fleet of Starships with warp drive and photon torpedos. Also, no pulling 50 million man armies out of your ass (or anyone else's ass, for that matter). Jet fighters can make intercontinental journeys in a few hours NOT 10 minutes, and they'll surely be seen on radar. and post your losses, not your opponent's.
2. The NS rules of RP ettiqute are in force here. I don't mind good-natured teasing, but if you have a serious problem with someone (even me), don't make verbal attacks on the thread, TG me, and we'll work it out.
3. Related to goddmoding, be realistic in your tech R&D. That means both in regards to timetables, and to having the usual setbacks, stalls, budgetary concerns, and mishaps.
4. RPing a war is fun, if it's done right, but try to come up with other stuff to RP as well. Anything from diplomatic and trade relations, to elections, to internal insurrections (I did that on the old thread, it was a blast), or even the pop culture of your nation.
Now some technical stuff:
The starting date is January, 2134. RP time progresses at 1 month per 1 day in RT.
claims can be posted here, so that the RP thread doesn't get clogged up with this stuff.
The amount of land you can claim is based on your NS population. Try to shoot for no more than 1000 people per sq. mile, and no less than 100. Hopefully this will leave some areas unclaimed, which can be either claimed by latecomers, or disputed diplomattically or millitarily IC.
Total land areas of nations can be found here.
http://www.infoplease.com/countries.html
just click on the nation you want, and it'll have its statistics listed.
OK, everyone, let's get this going. My last bit of business is to remind you all that the decisions of me, the God-emperor of Earth NA are final. If I'm not available, then talk to Wasted Genius, and his decision is final.
When you make your claim, let me know what color you want to be.
Antarctica is also open for bids. In this world, even though it wouldn't even be possible IRL, the Ice caps don't exist, except in the Arctic Ocean and seaonal ice around the shore of Antarctica. Coastal Antarctica and Greenland both have a cold-pine forest climate, Greenland like central Alaska, Antarctica is more like Siberia. The interiors are tundra. Antarctica can either be owned as a whole (5,400,000 sq. mi.) or split into hemishperes. The eastern hemisphere contains 2/3 of the land mass, but the western hemisphere has the only ports that don't freeze up in the winter.

I'll mainly be concerned with Africa...for the moment.
I would like to have the land mass of Austria-Hungary and Germany prior to WW1. Is that possible?
Also, can I wish it to be that we don't have to RP these lands grabs, and we just pretend they've been like that for the past 34 years.
Something like this:
On January 1st, 00:00, clocks around the world went berserk as they could not figure out what year it was. Systems crashed, and they could not be debugged. Riots happened everywhere, and overthrew much of the governments before starting huge governments to be in control of the world.
Scientists though, the next day developed a computer that they were working on for the past five years. It has three choices instead of just two, making binary obsolete for programs, and overall things went back into normal order, except for the countries.
The entire internet was wiped clean, and every gaming device with time also broke. The entertainment in America went towards sports, and soccer became the national sport there so that they could unionize with the rest of the world.
In only twenty years after the crash, computers were back onto the track of gaining speed. They were really expensive though, as many people went broke, and didn't have any money.
Obesity rates plummeted in the 34 years, and that is where we are currently...
Can this work as a backdrop or would we just have nothing going on for the next long period of time???

1) I can give you close to what you want. I can give you the present day boundaries of what they controlled back then; best I can do.
2) you only have to mention what happened prior to 2134 if it's germain to what you envision for your nation. For example, I will be mentioning something that happened to Maineiacs in the old thread in the year 2109. This had a lot to do with why I chose such an odd year; it's the 25th anniversary of that event. You do not have to RP obtaining your nation's boundaries.
BTW, what color do you want?

Not if they're smart, they won't. Only the most insane would launch a nuke attack when there's a 100% chance that somone wil retaliate. Form alliances. Make powerful friends. Or just RP the R&D of a missle defence system.

I propose that one of the first orders of business IC is to set up a world council to vote on such things. An Earth NA version of the UN. It could be just as toothless as the RL UN, but at least it would be a place where everyone could participate in the discussion.
If we decide to start an Earth NA UN, I'd like to propose that we discuss the nukes policy that will save us from having to start a war and find out what happens.

I need to know if your stuff is acceptable. For example: no laser guns (I might allow slow and difficult R&D toward a laser cannon, but no rifles or pistols. Railgun R&D is acceptable), "primitive" hover tanks are acceptable, but nothing that resembles a giant anime robot, no warp-drive starfighters, no cyborgs (again, you can start R&D, but I won't allow you to have them right off), no clone armies, nothing super-exotic that can rip a wormhole open, or anything like that, and no time-travel.

http://usera.imagecave.com/Kormanthor/JSFLanding.jpg
The KorStrike Fighter (KSF) is a multi-role fighter optimized for the air-to-ground role, designed to affordably meet the needs of the Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and allies, with improved survivability, precision engagement capability, the mobility necessary for future joint operations and the reduced life cycle costs associated with tomorrow’s fiscal environment. KSF will benefit from many of the same technologies developed for F-22 and will capitalize on commonality and modularity to maximize affordability. The KSF program will demonstrate two competing weapon system concepts for a tri-service family of aircraft to affordably meet these service needs:
456 V-22 Osprey
http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/v-22.htm
The V-22 Osprey is a tiltrotor vertical/short takeoff and landing (VSTOL), multi-mission air-craft developed to fill multi-Service combat operational requirements. The MV-22 will replace the current Marine Corps assault helicopters in the medium lift category (CH-46E and CH-53D), contributing to the dominant maneuver of the Marine landing force, as well as supporting focused logistics in the days following commencement of an amphibious operation. The Air Force variant, the CV-22, will replace the MH-53J and MH-60G and augment the MC-130 fleet in the USSOCOM Special Operations mission. The Air Force requires the CV-22 to provide a long-range VTOL insertion and extraction capability. The tiltrotor design combines the vertical flight capabilities of a helicopter with the speed and range of a turboprop airplane and permits aerial refueling and world-wide self deployment.

The UES Space Shuttle
http://usera.imagecave.com/Kormanthor/x33-5_300-s.jpg
The UES flies much like the Space Shuttle. It takes off vertically and lands on a runway. However, there are differences between the two vehicles. The UES is a means of transport only. It is not used as a science platform like the original Space Shuttle. Also, the UES is a single-stage-to-orbit spacecraft it does not drop off components on its way to orbit. It relys totally on its own built-in engines to reach orbit, omitting the need for additional boosters. Unlike the original shuttle, the UES uses a new linear aerospike engine, which looks and runs much differently than the bell-shaped Space Shuttle Main Engine. Kore Tech considered the aerospike engine for the Space Shuttle 25 years ago, but opted to use the Space Shuttle Main Engine, also built by Koretdyne. The aerospike has been revived and enhanced to power the UES. The aerospike nozzle is shaped like an inverted bell nozzle. Where a bell nozzle begins small and widens toward the opening of the nozzle like a cone, the aerospike decreases in width toward the opening of the nozzle. The aerospike is 75 percent shorter than an equivalent bell nozzle engine. It is also lighter, and its form blends well with the UES's lifting body airframe for lower drag during flight. The shape spreads thrust loads evenly at the base of the vehicle, causing less structural weight, which allows it to obtain vehicle speeds in excess of Mach 15.

You can build the moonbase, but you don't get it for free. same for the floating cities. Don't expect to be the only one with these things though (I'm going to Mars, feel free to follow me;) ), The star fighter is out. Are these 12 Korde Class Spaceships civillian or millitary? If they're civillian, R&D them, or at least RP production (and convince me your nation can afford 12 of them). No one will have a starfleet. I need more info on this: Orbital Bomber Configuration. Everything else is fine. Thank you for having a realistic amount of them. In the original Earth NA, I had one guy who tried to convince me to let him have 1000 Battleships.
You'll be expecting my nation to be building a giant energy shield that would stop the ships from getting close to my country (Say 10 miles high it can be.)
I'll have to research what could stop them though.
I'm not building any spacey warcraft, as I don't like space as a battlefield.

It's acceptable. I was planning on some scramjets myself.
OK, kiddies, we kick it off tomorrow. I think I'll allow you all to claim more territory. I still want to leave some areas unclaimed in case new people join, but your claims look rather small. So all of you may claim up to 1 million sq miles more (between all of us we could claim the territory of the former USSR, so it's not that much). My nation claims Bermuda, the Bahamas, and all the islands of the Carribean.

I'd also like the Faroe Islands and Svalbard Islands. Faroe I. normally belongs to Denmark and Svalbard to Norway, but I'd like to separate them if possible, since nobody has claimed either Denmark or Norway. Svalbard is due north of Norway, just before you get to the arctic circle.
The total claim is about 146,000 square miles of some of the most miserable weather anywhere, but I think it has a certain homely charm, and I think I can fix the place up real nice.

I know pretty much what PMT is. Your front page donst really say what is forbidden or not.
You asked if you start with the millitary your nation has. That depends on if you fit the parameters of PMT and what I've set out here, and if your army size is realistic. Here are the relevant posts.
OK, folks, sorry I'm late. Before we get into bidding, Let's lay down the rules:
1) No goddmoding. The era is post-modern tech, so while your nation may have a space program (if you can afford it, and RP the R&D), you do not have a fleet of Starships with warp drive and photon torpedos. Also, no pulling 50 million man armies out of your ass (or anyone else's ass, for that matter). Jet fighters can make intercontinental journeys in a few hours NOT 10 minutes, and they'll surely be seen on radar. and post your losses, not your opponent's.
2. The NS rules of RP ettiqute are in force here. I don't mind good-natured teasing, but if you have a serious problem with someone (even me), don't make verbal attacks on the thread, TG me, and we'll work it out.
3. Related to goddmoding, be realistic in your tech R&D. That means both in regards to timetables, and to having the usual setbacks, stalls, budgetary concerns, and mishaps.
4. RPing a war is fun, if it's done right, but try to come up with other stuff to RP as well. Anything from diplomatic and trade relations, to elections, to internal insurrections (I did that on the old thread, it was a blast), or even the pop culture of your nation.
Now some technical stuff:
The starting date is January, 2134. RP time progresses at 1 month per 1 day in RT.
claims can be posted here, so that the RP thread doesn't get clogged up with this stuff.
The amount of land you can claim is based on your NS population. Try to shoot for no more than 1000 people per sq. mile, and no less than 100. Hopefully this will leave some areas unclaimed, which can be either claimed by latecomers, or disputed diplomattically or millitarily IC.
Total land areas of nations can be found here.
http://www.infoplease.com/countries.html
just click on the nation you want, and it'll have its statistics listed.
OK, everyone, let's get this going. My last bit of business is to remind you all that the decisions of me, the God-emperor of Earth NA are final. If I'm not available, then talk to Wasted Genius, and his decision is final.
When you make your claim, let me know what color you want to be.
Antarctica is also open for bids. In this world, even though it wouldn't even be possible IRL, the Ice caps don't exist, except in the Arctic Ocean and seaonal ice around the shore of Antarctica. Coastal Antarctica and Greenland both have a cold-pine forest climate, Greenland like central Alaska, Antarctica is more like Siberia. The interiors are tundra. Antarctica can either be owned as a whole (5,400,000 sq. mi.) or split into hemishperes. The eastern hemisphere contains 2/3 of the land mass, but the western hemisphere has the only ports that don't freeze up in the winter.
I need to know if your stuff is acceptable. For example: no laser guns (I might allow slow and difficult R&D toward a laser cannon, but no rifles or pistols. Railgun R&D is acceptable), "primitive" hover tanks are acceptable, but nothing that resembles a giant anime robot, no warp-drive starfighters, no cyborgs (again, you can start R&D, but I won't allow you to have them right off), no clone armies, nothing super-exotic that can rip a wormhole open, or anything like that, and no time-travel.
So BF 2142 is a good example of what military equipment would be like?
That depends on what, exactly, BF 2142 means.
Battlefield 2142 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_2142), the PC game.
Possibly, but it looked like that had starfighters -- which aren't allowed -- or am I mistaken about that?
This should be fine, but I'd want you to RP the R&D of that ship, and possibly the propulsion system, depending on what it is. Incidentally everyone, R&D for workable fusion power is allowed.
Hmm. I never played Battefield 2142, but it looks like another game I'm a bit familiar with...
If we're going to do the pseudo-mech thing, just watch out for the 50 foot titanium punji sticks (http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b355/wasted_genius/Punji.jpg). :rolleyes:
The way I'm reading you Maineiacs is that you'd like to avoid the magical-nobody-knows-how-it-works-but-me tactic. We've been there and everybody just ends up scratching there head trying to figure out how to post a reply. I'm with you if thats the case. I like new tech, just as long as it doesn't involve learning a bunch of different stuff to RP it. Sorry No Taxes, no offense intended. I'll dive into your tech if you first can convince me that it'll be entertaining on some level.
Also, Havvy I'm on board with the name of World Council, sounds appropriate. Maybe the RL UN should take a clue and consider a name change too. The UN is n't all that united these days....
You've pretty much got it. If anyone does spring a mech on the rest of us, that post will simply be nullified. I'm not certain I'm being as clear as I'd like to be though, so I am thinking of judging weapons on a case-by-case basis.
BTW, Havvy, we'll start on Monday. I want to see if anyone else signs up.
I'm still working on R & D ( to be manufactured ) items, as far as lasers I will only use them as they exist in the RL. I'm working on a Rail Gun, a hover tank, and a few other things I will add later.

http://usera.imagecave.com/Kormanthor/JSFLanding.jpg
The KorStrike Fighter (KSF) is a multi-role fighter optimized for the air-to-ground role, designed to affordably meet the needs of the Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and allies, with improved survivability, precision engagement capability, the mobility necessary for future joint operations and the reduced life cycle costs associated with tomorrow’s fiscal environment. KSF will benefit from many of the same technologies developed for F-22 and will capitalize on commonality and modularity to maximize affordability. The KSF program will demonstrate two competing weapon system concepts for a tri-service family of aircraft to affordably meet these service needs:
456 V-22 Osprey
http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/v-22.htm
The V-22 Osprey is a tiltrotor vertical/short takeoff and landing (VSTOL), multi-mission air-craft developed to fill multi-Service combat operational requirements. The MV-22 will replace the current Marine Corps assault helicopters in the medium lift category (CH-46E and CH-53D), contributing to the dominant maneuver of the Marine landing force, as well as supporting focused logistics in the days following commencement of an amphibious operation. The Air Force variant, the CV-22, will replace the MH-53J and MH-60G and augment the MC-130 fleet in the USSOCOM Special Operations mission. The Air Force requires the CV-22 to provide a long-range VTOL insertion and extraction capability. The tiltrotor design combines the vertical flight capabilities of a helicopter with the speed and range of a turboprop airplane and permits aerial refueling and world-wide self deployment.

The UES Space Shuttle
http://usera.imagecave.com/Kormanthor/x33-5_300-s.jpg
The UES flies much like the Space Shuttle. It takes off vertically and lands on a runway. However, there are differences between the two vehicles. The UES is a means of transport only. It is not used as a science platform like the original Space Shuttle. Also, the UES is a single-stage-to-orbit spacecraft it does not drop off components on its way to orbit. It relys totally on its own built-in engines to reach orbit, omitting the need for additional boosters. Unlike the original shuttle, the UES uses a new linear aerospike engine, which looks and runs much differently than the bell-shaped Space Shuttle Main Engine. Kore Tech considered the aerospike engine for the Space Shuttle 25 years ago, but opted to use the Space Shuttle Main Engine, also built by Koretdyne. The aerospike has been revived and enhanced to power the UES. The aerospike nozzle is shaped like an inverted bell nozzle. Where a bell nozzle begins small and widens toward the opening of the nozzle like a cone, the aerospike decreases in width toward the opening of the nozzle. The aerospike is 75 percent shorter than an equivalent bell nozzle engine. It is also lighter, and its form blends well with the UES's lifting body airframe for lower drag during flight. The shape spreads thrust loads evenly at the base of the vehicle, causing less structural weight, which allows it to obtain vehicle speeds in excess of Mach 15.

You can build the moonbase, but you don't get it for free. same for the floating cities. Don't expect to be the only one with these things though (I'm going to Mars, feel free to follow me;) ), The star fighter is out. Are these [other ships] civillian or millitary? If they're civillian, R&D them, or at least RP production (and convince me your nation can afford 12 of them). No one will have a starfleet. I need more info on this:[weapon system] . Everything else is fine. Thank you for having a realistic amount of them. In the original Earth NA, I had one guy who tried to convince me to let him have 1000 Battleships.
Sorry for the length of the post, but it contains a lot of pertenent info. If youi have more questions, feel free to ask. Whether you can claim more deppends on your NS population.

You asked if you start with the millitary your nation has. That depends on if you fit the parameters of PMT and what I've set out here, and if your army size is realistic. Here are the relevant posts.
Yes! I get it now. Alright. So basicly its MT on crack. So are SDs in or out here? I know some let them and some forbid them. I'm guessing by your post scram jets are in. so thanks!
Since my pop is 3.79 billion could i claim Mongolia to?

Acceptable, if everyone gets them. I'm afraid that it would give an unfair advantage. I'd prefer millitary victory comes from superior number and/or superior tactics/logistics, not who has the coolest toys.

Yes, just keep it realistic, and PMT. Remember, China is Communist in name only, they're the real world's fastest-growing economy, and in 130 years, they're going to be rolling in cash, and spending a lot of it on millitary hardware.
