A poor attempt to give a location to my nation.
No, it's a ridiculously confusing way of giving your location. Can you just sketch out your claim instead?
Everyone else
Woah, application overload. Plus it is a ridiculously long application at that. As for embassies, people already have their own embassy threads which serve much the same purpose, plus the AU would undoubtedly supersede the need for inter-Atlantican embassies, with most affairs being consolidated through some kind of AU council or community of representatives. But you guys sure do like filling out forms...

He was trying to describe it through word sinstead of pictures. I don't think he can describe it with pictures.
the AU would undoubtedly supersede the need for inter-Atlantican embassies, with most affairs being consolidated through some kind of AU council or community of representatives. But you guys sure do like filling out forms...
It gives us insight into eachother's nations even if it isn't for any other purpose. I guess you are correct so embassy thread won't be a go, instead the AU will resolve problems.
Comments on the forms:
Binaria: In a constitutional monarchy, like the UK today, Prime Minister is Head of Government and the Monarch is Head of State.
Beatus: May I ask why you have an interim government? I would also like to hear more about this religion, 'the Path of the Blessed'.
No Taxes: It says chief industries, lol. Practically the same as my personal views on most of those things.
Stok: Colonies were supposed to be dropped but w/e. Talk about strict society.
Oily Prata: I wouldn't say free if you don't have the level of freedom like No Taxes.

14-12-2007, 23:26
Surailia, I estimate that what you already have + Corisca and the Iberian peninsula is over 1,000,000 square kilometres. I do believe it will be a strict 'No' from Nova Pictavia. Personally, I think your claim is a lot, including Corsica. Wait until the Italian peninsula is claimed before asking for Sardinia because the person who claims it might not mind giving Sardinia to you. Or you could buy it off of them for $100,000/square kilometre ($2,409,000,000), considering the price of real estate today. Of course if anyone wants to sell territory, the Dutch Kingdom is a willing buyer.

Greetings to the Interim Government of Beatus,
I wish to learn more about your culture and I hope you may learn more of mine. I also wish to you the best of luck in establishing political stability. The Dutch Kingdom has had stability for over 175 years. Firstly, we wish to learn about your religion.
Here in the Dutch Kingdom, most citizens practise either some form of Catholicism or Protestantism. Personally, I am a very libertarian Prostetant. Both religions are Christian and thus believe Jesus to be the messiah and follow the Bible.
Best Wishes,
Willem VI,
Grand Duke of East Lixembourg
P.S. I apologize for the fact that my father, the reigning monarch, cannot speak to you directly.

15-12-2007, 04:09
To Willem VI Grand Duke of East Lixembourg,
Thank you for your wishes of luck, in achieving governmental stability. We would love to discuss our culture and religion at length, but I am very busy at this time, what with the planing of our former leaders funeral, and reconstructing of the government, maybe you could do this with me, or my predecessor, at a later date.
Signed,
Jim Lange,

Perhaps you and beatus can work out a deal where you each give each other a port in each other's land, completely run autonomously by theowning country.

Hey, Surailia, I have a friend coming on soon (today or tomorrow) who said he wanted Spain. I don't suppose you could could rethink your expansion? After all, France and Corsica basically make up the limit to the amount of land you can have.

Actually, I just remembered that Yanitaria was interested in 'France' as a colony and once said, and I quote, "Hell to anyone who claims France" in this thread. Later he basically gave up on the idea, but I'm sure he'd be interested in that idea.
I am interested in that idea, although it would require some history re-writing I think I could do it. WWII history re-writing.

I created the puppet on the 1st and have been posting as Benelux in here since.
Just realized you edited. I just hope Stok is ok with the 'Hitler' thing. Or alternatively whoever claims Germanic territory can have a hitler rise to power. I have a feeling Stok won't mind having a Soviet dictator in Surailia being a puppet of his country.
There is a no puppet rule if the puppet has any ties to the master nation. Since I have a really nice and detailed history of Uiri I didn't want to re-write that. The new rule was ancient racial migration would give an excuse but now that you claimed France and I don't want England or Wales or the Eire Republic, I'm just sticking with the Dutch Kingdom.

Surailia, you aren't suppossed to double-post but that rule is laxxer here than in some other forums.
Yeah, I have Rotterdam on the Rijn but I didn't think the Rijn went through your nation. Yeah, the history of France and the Low countries is close but that can be said about a lot of countries who share a border.
Most of the history is Low Countries, the splitting point is in the 1800's. Belgium is calmed down before it can separate but to give them a little more autonomy, the short name is changed to Betherlands, there was a period before when belgium was referred to as such. Whe (East) Luxembourg is annexed, to help lower resisitance it is made Benelux. The Line doesn't go female and stays through Willems all the way to today. The whole royal family is different.
Dutch is the official national language and official in all provinces. French, German and Luxembourgish are also official in East Luxembourg. West Frisian is co-official in Friesland. Luxembourgish and French are also co-official in West Luxembourg (present day Belgian province.) German and French are co-official in Liege and French is co-official in Namur, Hainaut and Walloon Barbant.
That is all that is marked in stone for now.

Except there's no way he went over the mountains to conquer No Taxes. I don't mind if that is how the regional history goes, but I don't think it would be reasonable (or fit in with my history) for Stoklomolvi to have captured No Taxes a much larger nation. Perhaps to continue with the WW2 Hitler metaphor, No Taxes was like Spain during the war in that it was sort of friendly with Hitler but stayed neutral in the war.

Whoa, now you're imposing a dictator on me. Well, at one point on Stoklomolvi's history there actually WAS a dictator, but he was in the early 1900s late 1800s. He was killed by one of his own supporters. At any rate, there never really was a dictator in Stoklomolvi, and at first I had Stoklomolvi sit in Eastern Russia and Manchuria. I suppose that Stoklomolvi could have invaded westward and conquered whatnot while No Taxes and Binaria were away, and then the leader was assassinated by a Stoklomolvi rebel.

Here is what I gathered:
No Taxes allows Stok to march through towards Western Europe. Stok conquers Benelux and Surailia. After the war, Benelux has control of Surailia. Revolution of '68 frees Surailia and Soviet Republic is put in place. Coup d'Etat and it ends up like the Soviet Union. Collapse of '04 turns Surailia into what it is today. Stok has a lot more influence than it normally should have over Surailia.
Also, (if Surailia is ok with this) during the time the Low Countries was ruled by the French Republic and French Empire and Batavian Republic, let's say Surailia had Benelux under it's thumb. the United Netherlands and (East) Luxembourg revolt and separate from the Empire and we have the present monarchy. This would have been from 1795 to 1815.
No Taxes (if you want) has rule over present-day Belgium and Luxembourg from 1581 until 1795. Liege is a bishopric and the rest is Burgundian(Independantly ruled) until 1581. Present-day Netherlands is a Republic until 1795.

Well, actually, I was referring to the part of history when the Netherlands was under Spanish and Austrian rule. The Bishopric of Liége and the Dutch Republic are excluded from this territory. Since Germany has become the successor state to the Holy Roman Empire, the Bishopric of Liége will count as a historically autonomous territory of whoever claims Germany. You are getting the period under Spanish rule as well because Spain isn't claimed yet and I want the history to be mostly settled now.

there they sign the Treaty of Cirica and the new capital of Cirica and the new Empire of Surailia is formed the 2 families eventually interbred and the ruling body body became how it is today.
795 years later the north-eastern area separates from Surailia (if you are willing) a revolt lead by an Erapeen Grand Duke over disputes with the Imperial (not royal) Family
in 68' the axis(if willing no taxes(italy) and stok(germany)) takes most of europe.
Benelux and Surailia end up like Czechoslovakia and end up under under a soviet rule the soviets banishes the Imperial Family.

That's being a bit, er, unfair, isn't it? Having everyone else be occupied but not yourself?
What do you mean? I am occupied but I assumed that when the war is over that would be free of soviet influence. Sorry, I guess I kind of worded my sentence badly Here is what I was thinking:
Roman empire ends up collapsing and Benelux is ruled by the Dutch Burgundians. In 1581 the Duchy is overthrown and No Taxes gets the south and the North becomes a Republic. In 1795 the whole Dutch territory is invaded and conquered by Surailia until 1815. In 1815, Luxembourg becomes a Grand Duchy and a Monarchy is restored in the rest of my territroy. The Monarch is Grand Duke of Luxembourg but there is an elected Parliament and Prime Minister in Luxembourg. In 1900, the Monarch overthrows the Prime Minister and Parliament and becomes Absolute Monarch of Benelux.
In 1939 (I assume), Stok and No Taxes invade Surailia and I. Someone ends up freeing us from Stok and No Taxes in 1945 and the Dutch Monarchy ends up ruling Surailia and Benelux. In a Stok-assisited revolution of '68 a soviet dictatorship is instated. The dictator essential being a Stokmolvian puppet. in the revolution of '02 the dictator is overthrown and the Surailian royalty is re-instated.

Wherever I go half of the population become members of the Stoklomolvi Military Police Force. That is to enforce the laws, you see. Political commissars from the mainland are appointed to every fireteam to ensure loyalty, and essentially the people get no voting rights and whatnot. Important figures are guarded by members of the SMPF from the motherland, and also the demonym of Stoklomolvi is Stoklomolvi, not Stoklomolvian. I wouldn't have installed a puppet dictatorship unless I didn't want that land. I would have annexed and occupied it. It's rather complicated.

RIGHT!
Firstly: the map is staying as it is. Nothings moving for Surailia or Stok as it is. I might add Corsica to the Surailian territory, but not if I'm harassed about it. Stock, I'm adding that territory to The Beatus for now, just so I don't change what I previously said. I don't want to go back on my word: If you want it, conquer it.
Secondly: Hitler existed in Europe, Germany and Austria do not exist in Europa Atlantica. But the Stok empire is a great idea. I propose instead of writing out a history, we actually carry it out as a WWII tech RP, no?
Thirdly: Pictavia is DEFINITELY NOT in England. It seems people have a real problem with distinguishing one country from the other FIVE that are in the British Ilses. Pictavia is in Caledonia (Alba/Scotland), Hyperboria (Shetland/Orkney) and North Hibernia (Northern Eire/Ireland). :rolleyes:
Finally: Beatus, I'll get round to adding your claim et cetera.

Apologies for the double post, but I feel I needed to write this separately.
If you have a land claim or dispute, POST IS ONCE ONLY. If you feel I am being unfair then a telegram would be fine, but just one telegram. Please, don't spam this thread with repetitive arguments that I've not been on to respond to, I just had to wade through several pages of Surailia complaining about territory. One post or a telegram would have done.
Also, I'm sorry I've not been on very much, I'll try and keep updated with what's going on. RL stuff 'n' that! :rolleyes:

i like that we were one then you separated to become the dutch kingdom in the 1700's gives the region more depth, and would probably make us allies
YOU AREN'T GETTING IT! WE WERE NEVER ONE!! LET ME SHOW YOU A TIMELINE AND BOLD COUNTRY NAMES AND ITALICIZE WHAT THEY DO:
UP TO 1581: Benelux is ruled by an independant dutch monarchy
1581 - 1795: No Taxes conquers and rules Southern Benelux
1581 - 1795: Northern Benelux becomes a republic.
1795: Southern Benelux establishes independance from No Taxes. Southern Benelux joins the Dutch Republic (Northern Benelux)
1795 - 1815: Benelux is ruled as a republic
1815: Dutch citizens don't show up to vote and the independant Dutch monarchy is restored. The Dutch Kingdom of the Benelux is created.
1940: Stoklomolvi, Yanitaria, and No Taxes invade Benelux and Surailia
1940 - 1945: Surailia and Benenlux are occupied by Stoklomolvi, Yanitaria and No Taxes
1945: Pictavia, Binaria or Oily Prata free Surailia and Benenlux
1945 - Present: Benenlux remains as it was before the war
And how do we( the other countries) play into all of this?
In any which way you want.
Secondly: Hitler existed in Europe, Germany and Austria do not exist in Europa Atlantica. But the Stok empire is a great idea. I propose instead of writing out a history, we actually carry it out as a WWII tech RP, no?
Thirdly: Pictavia is DEFINITELY NOT in England. It seems people have a real problem with distinguishing one country from the other FIVE that are in the British Ilses. Pictavia is in Caledonia (Alba/Scotland), Hyperboria (Shetland/Orkney) and North Hibernia (Northern Eire/Ireland). :rolleyes:
OK, we get that Hitler didn't exist in Europa Atlantica, but, we're creating our own histories. It doesn't make sense to RP it because it would be set 60 years before what ever else we are RPing so it could confuse some people.
As for Pictavia, it's basically Scotland and Northern Ireland and I understand that but for history purposes we were just throwing ideas around.

Surailia: Last time, read the rules (first post). If you have bothered to check, you would notice I gave you Corsica as a consolation. Nevertheless, that's the end of it.
Benelux: Ohhh, could we not do something like that, I got genuinely excited! We'd just have to label it 1945 or whatever year is settled upon, use WWII tech for example (Wooo M1 Garands!), again clearly label it as a closed historical RP... You get my drift? We could have some kind of anti-communist war instead of an anti-fascist war, big battle royal thing and... Shite, am I rambling here? :p
Obviously though, as it is historical, some sort of rough outline or ending could be agreed upon before the RP begins, something that would represent our MT borders.
Dutch-Ruled Benelux
17-12-2007, 17:13
Yeah, if we can agree on an end result then we could totally do an RP like that. Another concern though would be populations, obviously we can't use our present populations or else it would look really messed up. If we all, let's say have 20% of our present populations and such to reflect growth between then and now. Of course we could just ignore that factor since population hasn't been paid much attention to in the first place.

As for inviting your friend, if she can't be on that much then maybe she should be like a city-state, similiar to Lichenstien or Andorra or Monaco.

GDP is Gross Domestic Product is put simply a measure of the value of all the goods and services that your nation produces and provides.
Govt. Waste is basically corruption, something that happens to an extent in every government.
You would usually look at GDP per Capita, currency exchange rate and unemployment rate. GDP per Capita you want to be as high as possible, you want your Currency to be as highly valued as possible and you want the unemployment rate to be low.

You might not be able to change rivers, but you could, if you want make canals, or divert rivers to take a different course, it's called modern engineering.

I'm just full of ideas.....
while we are filling the region who about we take a portion make it autonomous and make it a power generating territory we can farm all sorts of energy in a territory absolutely concentrated on said production.
we can all donate a small portion of our energy budgets to build said region full of renewable energy sources (I'm thinking in Switzerland cause its all mountains anyways)
it would make us an amazing Kyoto region and as we are mostly all UC nations it would be quite bad for you to refuse....:P
Also got any theories here?
The theoretical wind energy from a hurricane is about one half the total world electrical generating capacity.

In anycase, as long as the countries who sponsor the renewable energy get a fair size profit (income is 125+% of expenses) then you can count Benelux in.

Lastly, I tend to keep my Tech level at MT at all times, never really gone into PMT. Realistically speaking, I could not operate in the present date, as such pinnacle military technology only available now will have to have time to go through distribution/production and the gradual replacement of current armaments. So, I play at a tech level available in the present date but not yet used en mass. Does that make sense?

Building them in Switzerland would just be an impractical expense. Also, I believe there are two tectonic plates hitting each other around the Alban/English border = Hellooooooooo geothermal goodness :D

its not all the energy its only like a potential of 5Terrawats my small nation needs aprx 50GW this is just a good way to give good green energy to nations that are otherwise screwing up the environment.

Four would not be even close to enough for my territory or Binaria's. Perhaps it could be multiplied by different scales depending on the population of the country?

stok: fusion energy is still far into the future and i refuse to accept that it is a variable source of energy in this APRX MT region
IE:No Protoscience
The DOE panel says: "Nuclear fusion at room temperature, of the type discussed in this report, would be contrary to all understanding gained of nuclear reactions in the last half century; it would require the invention of an entirely new nuclear process"
so unless stoklovolvi has a star in its borders and some of Apollo's sweet sun block (metamorphoses story of phaeton) there is no fusion
Stoklomolvi
19-12-2007, 05:14
Fusion is NOT far into the future. Cold fusion is currently being researched, as shown here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_fusion), and is a rather odd phenomenon. In my nation, fusion has been perfected, which could be said to be in, say, fifty years or so.

did you bother to read the article....it states that the worlds opinion on cold fusion is that unless our concept of fusion is wrong it is impossible to create cold fusion.
but Magnetic confinement fusion may be good, i think i may use it
beatus you need volcanic activity for geothermal energy. Where in your territory do you get that?

Where did it say that the world's opinion may be wrong?
A majority of scientists consider this research to be pseudoscience[citation needed]...
Not that it may not be accurate due to its lack of a source. Also, how do you know that my nation didn't somehow create a way to get fusion in extremely hot reactors?
Oily prata
19-12-2007, 05:36
Right now I'm running everything on Fission, mainly US designs, and a few RBMKs (Chernobyl, here I come!) as well as a few wind power stations scattered around. Fusion is used in secret Military reactors, but still not cheap enough for civvies to use( Or know, for that matter).
On another note, I will be away for two days.

i think its important that we at least convert our nuke power stations to PULSTAR Reactors they are almost risk free

Yes, and the fact that I am 40 times larger than you is meaningless. :rolleyes: With 2.5% of my pop in my millitary that gives me a force of 103 million total.

Sorry I misunderstood, would this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highland_Boundary_Fault) not offer some sort of geothermal goodness?
*Edit* There's quite a few dormant volcanoes too. If all else fails, Iceland would be a perfect spot for geothermal plants.
Also, Stok, I asked my brother who's in his final year of a Maths & Physics degree, and although he's no Dr on the subject, he has been studying it for years longer than us. Basically, he said Fusion is just a theory, in the same theoretical stage as say, faster than light travel. Its firmly PMT/FT, and this is an MT region, but with something as trivial as power supply I'm not fussed about it. All the same. Will fission reactors not still provide you with more than enough energy?

Wow, three pages since I last came. You guys sure can talk. Anyways, energy supply isn't as trivial as you think; sometimes it is nice to know what to expect when you go to cut off power of a nation you have occupied. As for benelux's power, we have wind, nuclear and low impact hydro. Yay for so many frickin' rivers.
I'm playing MT and I won't except anything PMT. Period. Anyways, how about that WW RP?

19-12-2007, 23:04
so Benelux would u be interested in my proposal?
Hot fusion is MT you can use it but its like 12T for a generator that makes 500MW
as for our history i think that everyone should collaborate with their neighbors to make a history that fits in their region of the region
IE: for myself it would be between Me, Benelux, Picts and the new south Britain guy

also i made a map of aprx. 50BC for the region everything but blue and red are just tribes under one classification unless you can give that colour a kingdoms name.

Dear Charmian Adam Gaultier,
King Willem V is out with his wife and first-born at a Christmas party in ViZion, an african nation. I do believe that it is rude to use an adjective which applies to approximaetly 5-10% of the population for the whole population. Yes, while many Dutch folk do love a good holiday in Surailia, the drug addicted are instructed not to share their goodies. You may subject them to any amount of jail time or fine you choose, but banishment and the death penalty seem to medieval and extreme to allow.
The King returns the day after tomorrow.
