Hello, I am The American Privateer, and I would like to introduce a closed off world for those who play NS in the Post-Modern Technology zone. This will take place on a version of Earth with the continents arranged the way they sat during the Jurassic.

Just a note, the equivalent year will be 2012, and as such, please do not use technology that is beyond that time.

If anyone can help me find something to use to increase the size of the image, that would be great.

In terms of topography, the Andes, Himalayas, Alps, and Ozarks do not exist yet. The Appalachian and Rocky Mountains are still small. And the Great Rift Valley is underwater. Also, Antarctica is currently Ice Free, as it is too warm for Ice to accumulate anytime other than during the winter. Otherwise, it is still the standard topography.

Also, I ask that you try to take into account natural borders when claiming territory, as it will make it more believable.

The map will update as invasions, colonizations, and such occur.

Filled in claims coming soon!

Well, first off, here's a larger version

Now, this looks good, but before I make a claim, I have a quick question. As far as population/economies go, are we going by our nationstates pages or making it up as we go along?

I'd prefer Nation States profiles, but do so only in terms of population and economy. As for the rest, have fun.

First claim, I am going to be claiming the Indian Sub-Continent do to its mountains and plains.

Right. About what I figured. In that case, I'll be claiming that peninsula that extends off the southeast of the Asian continent.

And wouldn't India be a straight up continent at this point?

I'd like to claim Germany, Poland, and Latvia. The New Prussian Empire ;)

You caught the bit where the continents of this earth are arranged circa the Jurassic period, right? That being said, perhaps current political boundaries aren't the best way to make your claim?

Sure they are. Selecting in this manner assures I get the specific regions that I want. :)

Eh- whatever. Guess it all depends on whether The American Privateer feels like figuring out where they'd be. That said- New Prussian Empire? Sounds dangerously imperialist.

American Privateer- what are we doing as far as write ups on our nations are concerned?

Its my Alliance in Nationstates Rps. And yes, I will be incredibly Imperialistic.

Wanderjar, look at the map and claim the European Islands you want, but at this time, that is all they are. Germany is an island at this time, but I am not so sure about the other nations.

Please remember that it is a sub-tropic island.

Ivory Jaguar, remember when setting up your nation that it is in a tropical region.

As far as writeups, describe dress, architecture, a basic on your government, your economy (Resources, Imports, Exports) (Remember that you are basing this off the current natural resources,) who your famous people are, the faith breakdown, and any flavor text that you want to include.

If you have a factbook, make a page for this, or if you have a Wiki page, make a separate section or separate page for Eurada, and post the link here.

All right. This doesn't quite correspond to any map I've been able to find, but I'm going to assume that the area I've claimed is what is eventually going to become Australia, and base my natural resources off of that.

It is actually the region of Indochina. At this point in time, Australia and New Zealand are still part of Antarctica. Use Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, etc. for your resources.

Ok, apparantly I didn't quite look at the map close enough lol

I assumed it was somewhat....different. Now I get what Ivory Jaguar was saying. My apologies for the misunderstanding. :)

There she be. (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/The_Ivory_Jaguar#Eurada)

Thank you Ivory Jaguar.

Now, seeing as we are not getting a lot of activity, I would like to claim the Andes as a Colony for mining. As such, I am reserving the Amazonian Basin for a socialist nation. It would only make sense to have a Socialist nation carrying their ideals to the "oppressed proletariat" of the Andy Colonies.

Also, if either of you want to know, I can inform you of your current mineral resources and which ones you lack. This will be based out of the 21st Century World Atlas, which contains extensive materials on the mineral resources of areas.

I can also tell you what your food production would be if you wish it.

All the information from this will be included on the wiki page, which is still not finished as it is very extensive.

http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/The_American_Privateer_%28PMT%29
there be my wiki page for this.

Also, I really dislike using the Stars and Bars, so expect a seven stripe version to come soon.

Okay, we are still looking for a massive corporation, and a socialist nation.

If you have one, please come and join us.

I'll join as the Binarian Aerospace Corporation (BAC). I'll take what will become north america. Unless it is mostly under water at that point.

My suggestion would be to take the rockies and the appalachian mountains as they are rich in mineral wealth.

Otherwise, nice choice.

I am taking the mokies and the appalachian mts, they are in North America.

Blast, I wanted the rockies!! Wish I checked my telegram 16 days ago :O If Antarctica is not taken I'll take a chunk of it... or another part of North America...

Also, I made a map which would I think would be a little better for a political map:

Nope, Antarctica is still open. No idea what there is in terms of mineral wealth, and just f.y.i., during this time, the summers are tropical, and the winters are anything but. You are going to have 4 months of tropical weather, 4 months of arctic weather, and twin, two months periods with more temperate weather. Your civ is going to have to adjust accordingly.

Glad to have you phoenix militia.

I know we have discussed this RL, but I want it on here, I would like to claim the small islands in between North America and what shall become western germany, eastern europe. I believe that those are Iberian and Bretonian Isles, but I am not sure.

Also, I am looking for nations willing to host my people. They have very small needs in terms of space, just a multi-story cathedral, and this would serve as a consulate or an embassy. Think of this as the Euradan equivalent of the Catholic Church, only more militaristic do to the hostile nations on either side of them.

These churches, known as Monastery-Forts, these can hold 3 platoons of knights and 12 platoons of infantry.

If anyone is willing, I will need to talk via TG's with them to discuss how to maintain the armed status of the soldiers within these places. These forces will be able to deploy in support of your armed forces in times of war, and will only take defensive action.

Any takers besides TAP?

Okay, everyone's claims are now up.

And TLO, you can have 675 monasteries inside the Mainland, and 125 in the colonies.

I am still looking for a socialist or communist nation to take the Amazon Basin. If any one knows a socialist nation that would like to try and foster revolt in a capitalist colony, please refer them to Eurada. I want to play out a colonial revolt. The consequences could provide for some good RP.

Okay, I am gonna start this up with a bit of a surprise.

Whats the main storyline of the RP? Just wondering...

This is not so much a storyline as it is a campaign world. I am going to have storylines dealing with Lunar Colonisation, Martian Colonisation, Colonial Problems, and I hope to try and pick a war with someone while making it look like their fault.

As for the others, that is up to them.

Last time I checked, Cananda is part of North America....

EDIT: I claim Mars.

can i join, i've never done PMT before

i would like to claim were china and japan and north korea are at in the Jurssaic Period

Yeah sure, welcome in.

Hey, 1010102, there is no planetary claims. You can claim areas of planets, but not the entire planet. Therefore, go find a map of mars, claim an area, and go from there. As you can see with the moon, I have only claimed the Sea of Tranquility. And as for why Canada was not included, so far Phoenix Militia has the largest contiguous claim because of where that claim is, and the amount of ground needed to survive on the South Pole. If you want Canada, colonize it the way that I did with Chile.

And, F.Y.I., I WILL be establishing mining colonies on every planet and or moon between Saturn and the Sun.

i would like to claim were china and japan and north korea are at in the Jurssaic Period

Umm, looking at the map, there is no Japan or Korea right now, so can have China.

ok yea forget about the map so dats my bad

like can u claim planets like saturn and jupiter and planets like that beacause their made of gases

ok I'll take Cydonia Mensae on mars. (yes that is where the face on mars is.)

can we start posting

Can I join this? I'll claim the northeastern most land area, thanks.

like can u claim planets like saturn and jupiter and planets like that beacause their made of gases

No, Jupiter and Saturn are major sources of gases. Also, no claims on Europa, I have reasons for this that will become apparent when I explore Jupiter and its moon.

ok I'll take Cydonia Mensae on mars. (yes that is where the face on mars is.)

Working on the claim. Good choice, I was gonna go for more long term, so I am claiming a part of the Northern Pole.

can we start posting

Yes you can, just put a (Closed to Eurada) on the thread.

Can I join this? I'll claim the northeastern most land area, thanks.

Okay, part of russia shall be yours.

Why don't you think it woudn't be for the long term? and please respond to me questions in the Mission to..? thread.

Ok, the links aren't working for me, but if I can take a sizeable Southern African portion, that'd be great (since you said we'd be using NS economy and population stats...works for me).

If we're doing interstellar claims too, can I grab the area around (and including) Olympus Mons on Mars?

Sorry, that was my puppet I was logged in as. This is me making that claim that "Progenitor" did.

Okay, Olympus Mons and Southern Africa. Sure, that works for me. Look for some sort of formal trading deal about diamonds, as I use them in my computers.

Hi there. This interested me a bit, so Can I claim the half moon of land on the west coast of Africa and a tiny part of the strip of land South of Asia? And I guess for my interplanetary claim I'll take the Northernmost of the three volcanos next to Olympus Mons. (Sorry for the vagueness, but the map cut out and time is short at the moment.)

OOC: feel free to post on the Road to Revolution thread now. There is going to be a spreading cancer of Communism in the Mountain Colonies. If you want to help put them down or help them try to gain independence, then go right on ahead and let us know.
