19th Century Europe RP (Open)

Croatia-Bosnia
18-08-2007, 02:08
****THIS RP IS NOW CLOSED AND IC IS OPEN!!!****

Hello, all. I'm pretty new to RPing but I do find the lack of a good Europe-specific RP to be slightly annoying, so I'm starting my own.

I would greatly appreciate anyone else interested in this. Though it is 19th century Europe timeframe, we're throwing out some of the real history for our own.

I'll start a claim map very soon, but I'll go ahead and announce my claim. Present-day Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, and Montenegro.

Remember, its only Europe so no overseas colonies.

EDIT:

Here's the latest map.

A word about military:

I will use a suggestion posted earlier. Military should be about 1 or 2 % of your whole population, unless you're really small or unpopulated like me in which we could work something out that is fair.


FACTBOOKS:

Hey everybody!!! I need to get some factbooks. I'll link them all to this post. That way we can all see everyone's at once.

So I think we should determine several things.

-What year will this start in more specifically? 1830,1850,1870...

-Will we use 19th century populations? If so, I know a site that has them.

-Will we use 19th century tech and if so do we get the tech that our country had at that time?

OK, techncally Ireland became independent in 1922, does Kirav get Ireland also?
Croatia-Bosnia
18-08-2007, 03:08
yeah. I think North Africa and the Mid-East will stay off limits during set-up and then once the rp begins we can all go land-grabbing.

Good map there, No Taxes, but yes, do be on a look out for on with a little bit more on it.

If anyone has any other ideas about the rp itself, please speak up, as I said, I am pretty new to this and welcome all the help I can get.



***Everyone will eventually need a factbook***

Yes, I think he can have Ireland. No Taxes, we'll start 1820, use the populations at that time, as well as the techs of the time.

Could we change the map so it focuses more on the south (so it encompasses Anatolia, more of the North African coast, and a small bit of Syria. I know you want this to be European but many of the nations of the Near East and Africa were also European nations during this time (ie the Ottoman Empire). I don't think anyone's interested in Iceland or the sea above Scandinavia.

It's hard finding a good blank map that encompasses all of that. I can take a world map and cut out that area but then the map either has to be really small or the resolution sucks.

C-B, is a population of just under 20 million reasonable for 1820 Germany, Luxembourg, Tyrol and half of Poland combined? Not enough? Too much? I'm bad at this stuff. For a moment I thought too few for an early industrial nation, then too many given the size of my territory.

Speaking of industry, how will we distinguish how industralized our nations are and what are the benefits?

EDIT: I tried that site but it only had records of Germany's population from the 1930s onwards.

In 1811 Russia's pop. was 44.5 million. Now Russia is a much larger nation than Germany but about 90% of their pop. was concentrated in about the same area as two Germanys. So I thought ten years later, Germany is much more industralized than Russia but much smaller so a little less than half of Russia's pop. was appropriate.

Also, Antigonal, remember that Populstat and the like only give the population of the MODERN state. You've got the population of RUSSIA alone in 1811, the population of the empire as a whole was roughly twice that if I remember, mostly in the Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan.

According to populstat, in 1820 Germany's pop was 26 million and with half of Poland, Luxembourg and Tryol I would round that out to 30 million.

I'm sorry to be such a burden but I still cannot, for the life of me, find a site that gives an accurate account of Germany's economic situation in 1820. Let alone one that also covers half of Poland, Luxembourg, Tyrol as well. The last site you attached wouldn't open for me.

Land wise, I control the western half of Poland, which was the more industrialized half if I'm not mistaken, so at first glance, I thought I should get more money.

Wow, thanks a lot. Luxembourg is negligble I suppose and, if it has just Austria on that site, you can maybe divide its figures by about a quarter. Tyrol accounts for roughly a third of modern Austria's territory but was a rather deselet and pre-industrial region during this time period. So a quarter makes sense, maybe a fifth.

ok.. i managed to do quick check about Polish industry in 1820..

and it appears that most of the industry was in Russian part. German part was agricultural with heavy taxation.

(Russian part wasn't very developed either, but it maked a lot of rubles exporting wool to china..)

as for Tyrol, i know there is Austrian stats on the site. just a sec.

Edit-

Tyrol Economic Information-

(its quarter of all Austrian stats)

GDP- 1,025,000,000 Dollars

GDP Growth- %0.36

(GDP per capita are as Austrian stats, because wage of job is not needed to be cutted in four.)

Also, are we using a present day map or one from the time period (as with Russia I'd get all Imperial Russia's lands as well...) - there is a map here of Europe in 1820 (http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.nbi.tu-berlin.de/NBIHi3.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.nbi.tu-berlin.de/Historicalmaps.htm&h=512&w=479&sz=90&hl=en&start=8&um=1&tbnid=5akXlwa47b4aOM:&tbnh=131&tbnw=123&prev=/images%3Fq%3D1820%2BEuropean%2BMap%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26channel%3Ds%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-GB:official%26sa%3DN)

I'm not the host here but that seems like a bit much. We're not playing with real nations, I mean Germany wasn't even unified in 1820 and it certainly did not control Tyrol and Luxembourg. So you don't have to take the actual borders of a nation.

Perhaps I was being a bit too greedy with asking for all Imperial Russia's stuff, but I still desire European Russia (basically the Russia that is visibly on most European maps).

ok.. i managed to do quick check about Polish industry in 1820..

and it appears that most of the industry was in Russian part. German part was agricultural with heavy taxation.

(Russian part wasn't very developed either, but it maked a lot of rubles exporting wool to china..)

as for Tyrol, i know there is Austrian stats on the site. just a sec.

Edit-

Tyrol Economic Information-

(its quarter of all Austrian stats)

GDP- 1,025,000,000 Dollars

GDP Growth- %0.36

(GDP per capita are as Austrian stats, because wage of job is not needed to be cutted in four.)

GDP per capita- $1218

GDP per capita growth- %0.85

Alright, thanks again for getting this info.

1. Where's the map so I can see what's still open.

and

2. Would it be at all possible to be the Ottomans (if it isn't claimed already)? After all, a little piece of 'em is in Europe :p

DP kind of ruined it by declaring it dead, then it went on a downward spiral due to inactivity from the new people who were vital in the RPs going on, so yes, I'd say its gone. I personally am done with full earth RPs for a long time and decided to stick to good character RPs and stuff like this.

What if I made military service compulsory for men 17 - 26? Back in 1820 the average lifespan was probably 60 to 70. So if I draft all men 17 - 26 in the nation, that has to be at least 10%, maybe more. So... what, over three million?

When ever I have played on threads like this, and a player grabs a low population region, they usualy allow the player to double or triple his populatuon, sometimes they even allow to quadruple the population. They do that to make it a little more fair.

EDIT: Could we compile our factbooks in one place? Also does anyone have an estimates of what Western Poland's economic stats were in 1820. If you can find any stats on 1820 Poland in general, just divide them by 3 and that should account for my Polish possesions. I really need to get figured out before I can start.

Okay my total pop. is 30,155,000 and 2% of that is 603,100. Is there anyway I can make my military service compulsory and get more like 10% of my total population?

EDIT: Whoever is playing Russia, I can help you with your pop. Russia had 44.5 million people living in her borders in the census of 1811-1812. So just figure eight years later, maybe 300,000 - 500,000 more people.

those restrictions are less of laws and more of economic side.

1. food. %10 of your population means those guys will not grow food, and that they will require more food (soldiers eat more, and so are their animals.)

2. their family dosen't get food.

so far the food production\consumption has already increased by like %20-25 for the consumption side.

3. equipment. that costs much.

4. army sitting inside a town or near farms will probaly take food and cause unrest (even its from their own nation.).

5. %10 of the males in your nation in the military is severe damage to your economy, especially because you take the healthy males.
