Long has the continent of Africa lain away, hidden from the rest of the world and her vast resources go untapped for the greater good of the world. But, yet times change and no longer can this continue as the demand of the wealthier and more powerful nations of the world increases so shall the supply has to also grow no matter what the cost. So therefore now the world looks to Africa and all the she has to offer has thus she shall now be made to give her resources to the rest of the world to satisfy the vast demand which could no longer be fed solely by the resources of one nation.

Rules:

They are not really any so feel to either oppress your people or make your colony into a paradise for the natives. Though I do want to aviod the use of nuclear weapons, though biological and chemical weapons are free to be used by people.;)

The only real rule set in stone is that of population which shall a quarter of the real populations or you can make a number if you really want.

As for resources they are in the same places as they are in real life.

As for things like genocide, slavery, forced removals, environmental crap, etc. do as you like as I shall not act as they police men here and I generally do not care, though I cannot say the same for the rest of the people here. Though to note they is no real population census as there has never been done so you can get away with killing a few million if you wish as there will be no proof to how many you really killed open to the outside world.

To say claims are up for grabs till I finalize them.

Claims:

Population:
50 million: 1 countries:: Any Size
100 million: 2 countries: 1 large, 1 small
150 million: 3 countries: 1 large, 2 small
400 million: 4 countries: 2 large, 2 small
600 million: 5 countries: 2 large, 3 small
1.2 billion or Above: Do not care anymore, though I have to approve claim as long you do not have more then 5 large countries.

What constitutes small are countries that are the size of the Gabon or smaller.

Note two smalls equal one large,

It does create an interesting what-if perspective, I will admit. What if the Europeans hadn't settled and colonized the African continent? Would it have developed into an industrial society? Good food for thought as this RP progresses. ]]

The "population rule" puts my military at about 2 million. Quite a large number even with 10% in support mode. So I guess I'll be fending off nations who want to take down the "big guy" as well as considering alliances in short manner.

Hmmm...that puts you in the Congo, Uganda, and the Central African republic....directly north of me. We're about evenly matched, so a "border dispute" escalating to something larger would be kinda futile. How about expansion?

We'll meet up on the east coast and cross over to Madagascar. That is if Scandinvan in the south doesn't mind our intrusion along it's borders. They might want a piece of the action......;)

For example, only countries with 200 million or higher get the option of a country in South America.

Yeah, this is much better than the old 'slash and hack' that's been done to death. One thing I think we should do is that if conjoined countries are going to be friendly to each other, we should open some kind of rudimentary communications. Example: if Dangaran marines are wandering around 10-15 miles into Bautizaran territory (accidently, of course) then we need some kind of official governmental announcement that this sort of thing might happen and a universal recognition sign and/or password should be agreed upon. Given at the respective nations discretion so as to prevent any and all nations from territorial encroachment.

Problem with Chad is the fact that it is landlocked country. So its very problematical to use it as colony unless some other colonial power allows you through their territory(may easily not happen because they may be interested in capturing it themselfly at one moment).

But what could i get then.

But what could i get then.That is whay I meant by approval as in order for you to get a colony in Africa you need to to get someone's permisison to either use their air space or their ports.

Though if you just want an American colony that would be alright, though you cannot claim more then half of Brazil.

I would like Bolivia

I would like BoliviaAre you sure as Bolivia is half taken: http://img444.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mapromancelatinamericaaq3.png

What about Peru.

What about Peru.Taken, and to ask are you color blind as if you are please tell me a color that is easy to see for your claims.

As for Peru it is not though Chile, southern Bolivia, the remains of Coloumbia, Mexico, Cuba, over 90% of Brazil, and most of the other countries are to.

umm can i claim Ecuador for Aurania-Shifre?To ask if you are his friend please have him send me a TG if he cannot long on, if you are one of his nations then I will add it for you right now.

No i'm not colour blind.I can make more claims.

No i'm not colour blind.I can make more claims.Kay, sorry :fluffle: I thought you were having trouble reading the map as the claims are in colors only.

As well, you can make more claims though, you claim three countires, except if it Argentina then you only get one more, or Brazil in which you can get no more then half without any further claims.

Can i also claim the Falkland islands.

Can i also claim the Falkland islands.I see no reason why.:D

Oh i just posted in the IC thread that i had Peru but i'll edit it out.I'll just take the Falkland islandsOkay, you just want the Fakland islands and not any nation like Ecuador, southern Coloumbia, Argentina, Chile, half of Brazil, Mexico, Hispanola, etc.?

[[ Speaking OOC: Is it possible for the countries with sizeable holdings in Africa (i.e. mine) to make a claim in South America, or would the OP prefer for us to wait and let the newcomers and smaller land-holders stake a claim? ]]

[[ Speaking OOC: Is it possible for the countries with sizeable holdings in Africa (i.e. mine) to make a claim in South America, or would the OP prefer for us to wait and let the newcomers and smaller land-holders stake a claim? ]]You may have a small claim, but nothing large then Paraguay.

waht countries might be left for a newcomers grab bag?

waht countries might be left for a newcomers grab bag?

possibly Argentina?No more new comers, unless by special invite for me or by support from existing members.

[[ Speaking OOC: Well, you won't have to worry about that. I had my eye on present-day French Guiana. (You might be starting to guess my line of thinking ... I just happen to like those small, quiet, out-of-the-way countries rich in natural resources. Oh, and does anyone need some sugar, wheat, corn, or gold? ]]

Scandinvans, is it fine if I start expanding my Central-America colony to Nicaragua?

Olmedreca;12545967']Scandinvans, is it fine if I start expanding my Central-America colony to Nicaragua?Sure, that would be alright as you only have a small colony.

Gold, you say?

Are any of the Guianas still available? (including the one that does not have guiana in the name)Gotta and now you have them.

Colonization looks like a lot of fun, but I have to ask you guys to observe my territorial claims:

-Crimean Peninsula
-Azores Islands
-New Caledonia
-Isle of Pines
-Loyalty Islands
-Belep Islands
-Huon Islands
-Tubuai Island
-Jaluit Atoll

By the way, these maps look really neat! How do you make them? Is there a website I can go to?

EDIT: I couldn't resist making a request: Could I have the Diego Garcia Atoll in the Indian Ocean?

could i also add the Bahamas to my claim?

I don't think there'll be a problem with your territory, as most of those are in the Pacific area (excepting the Azores and Crimea).
