For so long, this New World has remained untouched, its innumerable resources never discovered. But now, that has changed. With an expedition west by Latislavia, a New World has been discovered and is ripe for the picking.

Now, your nation could also setup a new colony in the New World. But before you lay claim to anything, you must follow these rules:
1. No God Modding
2. The present-day civilizations that are in these nations in this region do not exist, so it is basically untouched, except for maybe some natives. So no overthrowing governments.
3. You must at least RP your arrival.
4. Make a reasonable claims, if your nation is over 140 million people, you could make claims to up to two or three nations, no more.
5. NO NUKES!
6. If you want someone else's land, you are allowed to trade it (with consent of the other party), buy it, or go to war over it( with other party's consent).
7. Your nation CANNOTcolonize Brazil until all the other states are gone. Then we all will decide how to divide up Brazil between the nations.
You can run your colony to whatever politics you wish.

So, have fun and here's the map.
Latislavia's calims are in red and they are the present day nations of The Bahamas, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

OOC: Northern Rangeria claims Cuba and Jamaica.


Somewhere over uncharted waters:

Three planes of the Northern Rangerian Airforce flew low over the islands, with the bomb hatches opened. But instead of raining death down below, these old planes - part of the spoils of war from Greater Rangeria - were on a mission of science. The bomb hatches had been modified to hold cameras, that were now busily filming and taking pictures of the lands below. The Ministry officials had reason to be proud: the land seemed fertile, and the area seemed to be mostly uninhabited. The latter was extremely welcome, considering the recent crises in the Uusmaa colony in the Osmiu Islands. Hopefully these lands would not prove to be so troublesome.

The colonial officials had selected two islands for settlement: in the northwestern part of the region was a long, narrow island close to the mainland, and in the southern waters a smaller island that seemed unusually fertile. A veritable garden of Eden, one might say... The name of the smaller island was quick to come by: Paratiisi, 'paradise' in Rangerian. The northern island was given the temporary name of Sumumaa, 'Mistland' because of the thick mist that hang over the mountain range...

Sorry for the double post, but here are my colonies' names:
1. The Karibas(The Bahamas)
2. Kostaslava(Nicargua)
3. Beruski (Venezuela)

alright, as soon as we get more people, I'll start changing the map.

The Royal State of Baresia wishes to lay claim to the Haiti part of Hispaniola and re-name Milani. IC post coming shortly.

OOC: Neo-Ixania will claim Florida and Columbia. Here is my IC post claiming these lands as part of the Empire.

A Message From The Foreign Ministry of Neo-Ixania

The lands of the New World are gradually being claimed by nations and Neo-Ixania; witnessing these activities, has decided to become involved in the affairs of the New World. Our nation hereby, after consideration, claims the lands of Florida and Columbia as colonies of the Empire of Neo-Ixania; to be led by a Viceroy appointed by the Empress' Government.

Messaggio dal governo reale di Baresian



Baresia now has sent a fleet of ships carrying colonists to the New World. Baresia has officially laid claim to the land of Haiti on the island of Hispaniola.
Baresia will begin setting up its colonies and place under the control of a Regolatore-Generale (Governor-General).

Molte esplorazioni felici,
King Vespagian III (House of Milano)
Re Vespagian III (Camera di Milano)

OOC: Austronavia wishes to lay claim to Puerto Rico.
IC: After hearing the news of this New World from their regional neighbor, the Austronav Government sent 3 ships to explore this New World. After two days, they landed on a small island, and the settlers began to set up their own colony, to be called Costa Candova. The colonists, on the journey, had held a miniture election on the ships and decided that John-Paul Newburg would be the New Governor-General of the colonies.

The Silver Imperium claims Argentina(including the Falklands), Montserrat, St. Vincent, and Trinidad.

IC:

An Imperial convoy entered the waters between Uruguay and Argentina.

When the ships finally reached the long forgotten country, the natives had already gathered at the village docks waiting for the Empire to make the first move.

The Amerindians looked on intently as two boats took the Kiravians ashore. One planted the flag of the Silver Imperium and the Kiravian Empire into the coarse sands. The other turned to them, and said, "We come from a land called Kirav, far beyond the seas from here. More of us will arrive soon, to build our own villages across this land. We will give you protection, and goods of great luxury. Will you aid us in our efforts?"

Cookborough wishes to claim the U.S./British Virgin Islands, The Turks and Caicos, and Guadeloupe.

IC Colonization later...

German zerabithea would like panama and make it green on the map please
(i will star to rp once you approve me)

Okay, German Zerabithea, you now have Panama.

Kiravian Austro-America

In an alternate world, a metropolis called 'Buenos Aires' sprawled form the spot where metal and concrete were buing assembled into the city of Arënia. currently home to only 3,000 people, it was to become the capital of the new colony, a city to be envied by all of the New World.

Meanwhile, other cities were being built along the coast: Silvershore, Neoterra, Swedish Harbour, and Gwenyra, among others. In the interior, explorers and military units swept across the plains, subduing the Amerindians by trade, unequal treaty, or force. The dawn of Kiravian civilisation in the New World had begun.

Yes, your claims are finalized. Howeve, I am having trouble finding a map of the region that shows all the nations. So anyone who can find one, post it.

Awesome, thanks.

Here's a map. It's a bit big, mind, and, for all its size, portions of Mesoamerica and Brazil are cut off.

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee194/Glyphick47/Maps/Austro-Amerika.png

Yeah thats a great map, lets use that. Thanks. And I just thought of something to add. Concerning trading nations, what I mean is if lets say Kirav and I wanted to trade nations like the Bahamas for the Falklands or something, then if it was agreed on by toth of us, we could switch control of the colonies. There are no limits to how many times you can trade, just remember it has to be a joint agreement. Also, since Brazil is so big, how about we make it a jointly occupied area. Any seconds?

I second.

Or we could divide it up by municipio, or whatever they call their subdivisions down there.

Well, yeah, thats what I was thinking. I think we should divy it up like that and determine the provences by the biggest cities within the municipio.

OOC: Making of Brazil as a jointly occupied area... seconded.

Also (and I know this is slightly whiny of me ;) ), it might be good not to allow two states to be taken over anymore. I got the impression that the original colonisation was only about the Caribbean region, not the whole of South America (or maybe I just fudged up with the map ^^ ).

OOC: The Holy Imperium of Deatharon would like to claim Peru, Ecuador, and Chile.

IC: Post will be coming shortly...

Yeah, it was orginally intendend to be so, but I guess if you want you can have one South American country(and no, its not whiny). If we can get at least one more second, then Brazil will be jointly occupied. Let me look up the provinces real quick though.

The Empire of Mephras would like to claim Uruguay.

OOC: Colonization post later upon approval.

here's the map of brazil.

Deatharon and Mephras, you are both approved.

Yeah, it was orginally intendend to be so, but I guess if you want you can have one South American country(and no, its not whiny). If we can get at least one more second, then Brazil will be jointly occupied. Let me look up the provinces real quick though.

OOC: Well... That is very generous offer, I must say :) Thank you. If it's okay, then I would take Guyana... The first of those tiny states right next to Latislavian holdings of real-world Venezuela.

Northern Rangeria...access granted you now have Guyana. Concerning Brazil, I think we should wait till all the other spots are taken and then we can hold a meeting on dividing up Brazil. How does that sound to everyone?

Northern Rangeria...access granted you now have Guyana. Concerning Brazil, I think we should wait till all the other spots are taken and then we can hold a meeting on dividing up Brazil. How does that sound to everyone?

Thanks, mate. And yes, your plan for Brazil sounds good to me.

So... seconded.

Well, thats....balling.:D

MESSAGE FROM THE THEOCRACY OF SAN ARTEMIS

San Artemis, for the purpose of spreading the Anglican Christian religion, wishes to peacefully lay claim to Bolivia.
IC Response when finalized.

Well San Artemis, looks like your in luck. Bolivia has not been claimed, so now it is yours. You can either RP it or issue a governmnet statement.

OOC: Before I IC post, I don't suppose that Guyana and Suriname are still available? They are the area that the Errikan Empire maintains on some maps, so it would be nice to have some IC basis now.

it was late in the night when captain pertdart reached the new land after a few min a small group of men were to make sure that it would be safe to land. he had 5 ships 1 passenger ship, 2 cargo ships,1 warship, and his flag ship the new zerabithea it was his job to make a port city to lead the wae to colonizing the rest of the land for German zerabithea it was to be named new zachland. (after the tzar Zachary 1st) in a couple of min he would have the scouting report so he sat and waited.............

The nation of Tolstonia and her allies in the Jordanian League will claim Cuba if it has not already been taken.

OOC: Screw it. If anyone has objections, we can work it out.

OPEN, OFFICIAL MESSAGE

The Errikan Empire officially clarifies its claim over the lands of the western Guyanas, also known as Guyana and Suriname; as such, any attack on or violation of this land will be considered an attack on or violation of the Empire.

Errikan naval forces in the Atlantic, a substantial force far to the west of the main concentration in the Gulf of Guinea, received their orders; they were to move to Errikan Guyana.

OOC: Errikland, I think Guyana has been claimed, but Suriname has not.

IC:Hope you like your gift.
Best Always,
Mei

A quick note was taped to Steffen's door in the palace. The Empress's younger brother often complained about the tediousness of palace life, and his lack of opportunity. He had lounged around the palace most days, watching whatever marathons were on TV. He scratched his head, wonderingwhat the gift could be. Today, his 21st birthday, began with him being escorted to the heliport, where a helicopter filled with some of his closest friends. Champagne and cheese was served as the helicopter proceeded towards the western coast.

After about an hour flight, the helicopter landed at a small coastal port. Steffen stepped slowly out of the helicopter, and looked over at the dock, where one of the royal yachts, La Mephrasie, was getting ready to set sale. Steffen had traveled on the yacht before, which was renowned throughout the nation for it's luxury. As he walked over to dock, he tried to figure out what was the gift. Where exactly are we going?

I'm sorry, your highness, but it is a surprise. All I can tell you is enjoy the next few weeks at sea. The captain welcomed the group onto the yacht, where an elaborate spread of fine foods and wine had been set. After a night of eating and heaving drinking, the group collapsed for the night. Steffen loved the ocean, and loved the thought of spending some time with his closest friends.

-----------

The weeks passed with jet skis, swimming, fishing, and simply relaxing. The weather stayed beautiful, excepting a few days of rough seas. Eventually, the yacht found its way to the coast of a foreign land. Steffen, who had risen late as usual, strolled out onto the deck, and took notice of the striking landscape before him. A beautiful, lush land, beautiful and teeming with life. Where are we?

The captain answered, This my lord, is your gift, Mephrasian South America. Your sister acquired it about a year back. It is to be your personal playground. Anything you wish, can be done. He smiled, and began to prepare the landing craft for the group to go explore the land.

Steffen was stunned by the news. My own land to rule? Anything I want? He hurried to tell his friends of his good fortune, and they prepared to disembark.

OOC: Before I IC post, I don't suppose that Guyana and Suriname are still available? They are the area that the Errikan Empire maintains on some maps, so it would be nice to have some IC basis now.

Guyana is taken, but Suriname is not.

The nation of Tolstonia and her allies in the Jordanian League will claim Cuba if it has not already been taken.

Sorry Tostonia, Northern Rangeria has claimed Cuba.

Arënia, Kiravian South America

The city was now home to 100,000 people, recruited from the Empire's cities. The other settlements now had populations of 5,000-60,000. Immigration was high, and the promise of fertile farmland in the interior was bound to draw even more Kiravians to the colony.

Trinidad

The small continental island of Trinidad was of special interest to te Empire. There were hydrocarbon deposits in the surrounding waters, and only a miniscule number of Arawaks to oppose the Empire's seizure of it.

3,000 Imperial soldiers landed on the island, planted the Kiravian flag, and proceeded to the nearest village, ready to fight.

Here are some lands that have been claimed:
1. The Bahamas(Latislavia)

Hey Kirav, since you found that map, could you be the map maker for the colonies?

Certainly! I'll get right on it.

Many thanks.

Ecuador...



The Imperial 3rd Fleet was on patrol in the pacific ocean, The Imperial Fleet had been given instructions from the Imperial government to find new territory in the name of The Holy Imperium of Deatharon. The sudden colonial rush in Latin America was duly noted by the Imperial government and the Holy Imperium could not afford to be seen as lacking in Imperial expansionism. It could be seen as a sign of weakness and the Grand Holy Emperor Antonio Von Antheron VIII would never allow such an international image to be projected about the Holy Imperium.



The Imperial 3rd Fleet was equipped with several troop transport vessels along with solid bulk of Imperial Destroyers and Cruisers. The Flagship was an Imperial Aircraft Carrier that was in the middle of the fleet and to provide air support for the Imperial forces……




The Imperial 3rd Fleet approached Latin America and approached a gulf in the massive landmass of South America. (The gulf of guayaquil.) The fleet upon reaching this gulf send disembarked their troop transports on the shore.


The Imperial Legionaries promptly formed into their regiments and placed the Imperial banner (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c309/Xharnia/150px-Axis.gif) upon the coast. The Field Marshal Joseph Stomberg proclaimed, “I hereby claim this land under the dominion of the Holy Imperium of Deatharon! In the name of his August Imperial Highness, Grand Holy Emperor Antonio Von Antheron VIII."


The Legionaries cheered and promptly advanced deeper into the country. The goal was simple and easy to figure out. The 20 Imperial Regiments, (1,000 Legionaries make a regiment.) would subdue and enslave all the local people and exterminate any that resisted. The land known in an alternate reality as Ecuador would soon be under Imperial dominion as the advancing armor and regiments of the Grand Holy Emperor advanced without mercy or compassion against any that resisted….



Imperial Land Forces:

20,000 Imperial Legionaries. (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c309/Xharnia/ImperialHolyLegion.jpg)
500 Imperial Predator Heavy Battle Tanks. (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c309/Xharnia/ThePredatorHeavyBattleTank.gif)

IC:

Arawak Village, Trinidad

War whoops and gunfire rang out from where Port-of-Spain was in another world.

The Arawak Indians had refused the Kiravian offer of peace. Now, they would face the wrath of well-used technology.

It was 400 village warriors, armed with spears, bows, and arrows, versus 500 well-trained, well-armed, Kiravian regulars. Ferocity was the only frined that the natives had in this fight. And what a useless friend it would be.

The Kiravians descended on the village, first firing from the light cover of the forest, and then moving closer to the tangle of huts. They dodged the arrows and javelins hurled at them to the best of their ability, moving ever closer to the defenders.

Lance Corporal Ren Alpstream, an experienced soldier from the Xirya Colony, took an arrow in the chest. Yet, he survived without a scratch. Tearing the failed instrument of war from his kevlar, he signaled to his comrades, and continued forward.

When the Kiravians reached the village, they dvided into trios. Two men would draw lightwieght alloy swords, the third would hold dear his rifle. The invaders stormed through the tropical settlement, shooting or hacking down the Arawak warriors.

At the end of the day, the village was naught but a scattered mass of wood. Women, children, and any men that surrendered were collected and held until a ship could arrive to take them to a penal colony.

"I was appointed the Governor of this new colony."

As the first Governor of Neo-Ixanian America; Leonid Baranov had to manage the influx of settlers and soldiers. The brother of the Viceroy of Neo-Ixanian Europia, Leonid had plenty of experience in business but not so much in politics. He decided that he would establish colonies on the coasts of Florida and Columbia before exploring further inland. Soldiers would be sent to each colony to become garrisons. Looking at the map, he used a marker to put dots on prime locations for colonies. Once that was finished, Leonid called upon some officers in the military and asked them to begin sending soldiers. Benefits would be given to the families of soldiers who would accompany their husbands, etc as settlers.

Within weeks, colonies began to be established in Neo-Ixanian America. Leonid's pregnant wife had moved into New Tzargrad (the capital) and he was glad to know that there were no problems. If there were any natives; they would be respected and given basic rights. Within several weeks; the population was around 500,000; spread around Florida and Columbia. Leonid's wife had given birth to the first child born in Neo-Ixanian America; a girl named Zoya. She would be one of the people on Neo-Ixanian American currency and would be honored for several years.

The prince and his entourage were escorted to a makeshift yet elaborate pavilion which would serve as his residence until a more suitable permanent palace could be constructed. A small group of workers had arrived months earlier, numbering approximately 700, to construct a basic settlement for the prince. They had constructed a small town and had begun to survey some of the countryside.

Steffen was briefed on his new domain's resources. Situated on largely flat and fertile land, this area could become an agricultural powerhouse within the empire. While most of his life had been spent partying or laying around, he had a sharp mind for power and development, something which ran in the family. He planned to offer much of the land for sale to begin constructing an economic base. Advertisements were circulated around the densely populated mainland, and in no time, immigrants were coming to the colony. Special tracts were set aside as estates for some of his closest friends, securing them a large income for the rest of their lives, while other small tracts were set aside to serve as ecological preservation zones.

He also planned two main cities on the coast, one, San Steffano, near a good natural harbor in the south central area of the country, and one, Belleporte, further to the north, near the border with what was now unclaimed wilderness. Modern port facilities would be constructed to better allow trade with the mainland. Playing up the land's beaches, Steffen sold the nation as a great vacation spot. He granted several casino licenses in the main cities, and soon resort areas, complete with beach condos, casinos, and nightclubs, were beginning to take shape. Steffen imagined small settlements would soon be party cities renowned throughout the empire.

Interaction with the indigenous peoples had been largely peaceful, except for a few scuffles between certain landowners. Generally the tribes would accept the generous payment offered by the government, and a smaller area in which their culture could continue to flourish. Native Week was instated throughout the land, as a time where those who had first inhabited the land could celebrate their culture, and teach the newcomers.

Kartika, Kirav

In Fairwell Hall, the headquarters of the Secriat of Colonisation, Prime Minister Evergreen, the interim ruler of the Kiravian Empire, signed the Éru áu Caribbea eð Austrix Amërica(Caribbean and South America Act).

Under this new law, all Kiravian posessions in the area would be incorporated as the Dominion of America, with an appointed governor reviewed every four months.

The Dominion would be divided into Departments:

Austramerica (Argentina)
Nova Hibernia (Falkland)
Trinidad
Caribbea (Montserrat)
New Hebride (St. Vincent)

Once Austroamerica's population reached 1 million, it would be chartered as a colony. THe same would happen when 500,000 Kiravians lived on Trinidad, 300,000 in Nova Hibernia, and when 500 lived on Caribbea and New Hebride.

OOC: Do we do all RPing in this thread, Latislavia?

Actually, I was going to leave that up to the discretion of the players, but you may if you wish to do so.
The Karibas
By now, The Karibas(Latislavik for The Carribeans) had as many as 8,000 visitors. At first, many had been skeptical about traveling to this New World and had critcized Latislavia's government for "acting as an evil empire" and making up for the loss of Koraslava. But, soon enough, the givernment offered payment, up too 400 acres of land, and a new home in the tropics to any brave soul willing to take the chance. Since then, the colony has been established and Port Ivanovic became established as the capital. Slobadon Vachevsky was appointed as the Governor-General of The Karibas.

Kostaslava
This was the least populated colony as only 2000 at the most were recorded as residents, but it was one of the richest in resources and the 2000 that lived there had much more land than other Latislav settlers and were the first to establish a church in the colony. Ivan Ruzik was appointed Governor-General to Kostaslava.

Beruski
This colony was the first to encounter actual natives, but quickly made allies with them and drew up a non-agression pact with them and stated that they would not intrude on their cerimonial lands but wished to set up trade with them. This colony recorded about 6,500 people living within it. Vladimir Marovich was appointed Governor-General for Beruski.

OOC: Errikland, I think Guyana has been claimed, but Suriname has not.
[snip]

Guyana is taken, but Suriname is not.

OOC: Thanks.

Word of the prior claims over the western portion of the area soon reached the Errikan High Command. They swiftly broke off the fleet movement into that particular section of coast, ordering it to reinforce the fleet to the east. The last thing they wanted was an unnecessary conflict of this nature right now. Still, they would continue to express interest in the area, perhaps to purchase, perhaps with support for the claimant's further claims in Brazil.

OOC:sorry i haveint posted for a wile ive been busy

after a couple of days the city was starting to take shape, pertdart was tolled that they where almost ready to open up for ships and that new ships where starting to colonize the rest of the land and would be done in about 2 months. In that time the tzar had said in the letter he sent to make this the capital with him as the governor and that more supplies were coming soon. after that he named the city baziri (after the zerabithean war hero) and decided to check on how the builders were doing.........

Arënia, Dominion of America

In a newly built New Age Christian church, (It is traditional for Governors to be sworn in in a church or monastary) Stenril Ðevur was being sworn in as Governor.

An officer of the Empire stood at a lectern, reading the Order of Appointment from PM Evergreen, as Ðevur stood in front of the sanctuary, with his right hand raised, and his left on a Bible.

"I," read the officer, as the Governor-to-be repeated after him, "Stenril Cascadus Charles Ðevur, do hereby solemnly swear, to the besto fmy human ability, to competently defend, administer, and see to the greatest possible security and welfare of the Domonion of America, as a rightful representative of the pendingly elected Emperor of the Kiravian Empire, and High Council of the Silver Imperium, and to make the honourable carriage of this position my highest and gravest devotion, so help me God."

The new Governor would hold sway over a population of now 850 thousand settlers, and about three million natives.

Bump fo' interest!

Port Loyalty,Trinidad

The small coastal town, population 1,280, was being rapidly developed. As plantations for palm oil, cocoa, coffee, tropical spices, and poultry were marked off by the growing number of Kiravian settlers, and industrial secotr was emerging in the department's capital.

It was becoming an oil port. Of course, there was, as of yet, no oil to speak of. At least extracted oil. But many petrochemicals existed on and around the island, which were intended to be rented out to foriegn companies under strict environmnetal supervision and regulation.

In addition to the settlers, another group was arriving on the island: Kemeralis.

Kiravians weren't a tropical people. Not by a long shot. A few could be enticed to settle in a tropical colony, given that air conditioning was available, but most Kiravians went to the temperate and subpolar colonies. As such, the comparatively few Kiravians that came to Trinidad were by no means going to labour on plantations in the sun. They needed someone else. The Empire had recently acquired islands in the Kemeral Archipelago. Many of the natives had been recruited to serve as indentured labourers elsewhere.

Although the Kiravians commanded a demographic advantage on Trinidad for now, the coming years and a high Kemerali birth rate would breed trouble in a tropical paradise.
--
Arënia, Austramerica

The largest of Kiro-America's departments was recieving its share of new arrivals as well. When Governor Ðevur opened up the interior of the continent for settlement, ships began arriving in the city's harbour daily, bringing hundreds of new settlers.

They were coming for the fertile, flat, temperate grasslands-turning-farmlands of the Pampas and elsewhere. They belonged to nearly all of the Cosciv Kiravian ethnic groups, often filtering into ethnic towns and block settlements in the interior. Homesteads, plantations, towns, villages, and even a small railroad sprang up in the Northeast of the country. Other colonists were spreading inland from Swedish Harbor, and the other coastal cities. Soon, the quota of one million Kiravians would be met, and the Dominion dissolved.
--
Shoalsea, Nova Hibernia

Nova Hibernia (Falkland), though slowly, was growing. The 4,000 Nova Hibernians lived mostly in coastal villages, managing sheep farming operations on the nearby pastures.

OOC: Latislavia, I suggest that if there is no more interest in claiming land in the next day or so, that we go ahead and have a conference divide up Brazil and the other territories. I fully support more people claiming, but I think the conference would be a really interesting RP, and I know that threads can dissappear quickly.

IC: San Steffano, Mephrasian Province of Terraflora

The pace of growth in the colony was extremely fast, as many wished to leave the crowded cities of the mainland for a chance at some open land. In the first month, some 60,000 settlers had made their way to the colony. Cities were beginning to bustle, and seeds were being sown throughout the countryside. On a cliff above the city, a palace was taking shape, a palace that would represent the prestige of the monarchy, and the prosperity of the new land. Baroque architecture attempted to blend and compliment the striking beauty of the new lands. Formal gardens were being planted, incorporating native species and traditional imperial forms.

While the majesty of the imperial family could sometimes be imposing and oppressive, Steffen was an extremely open ruler, bordering on aloof, and quickly granted the people a constitution and constructed a parliament. He spent most of his days in leisure, and most of his nights out on the town. He had developed a reputation as somewhat of a libertine, as the society page was covered in stories of millions lost in poker games and on roulette tables and of outrageous behavior late night at VIP sections of clubs. However he was generally well liked by the populace and seen as a benevolent force in the colony.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, The Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Labour in Northern Rangeria had worked non-stop in organizing the expeditions to the newly-claimed territories in the western hemisphere. A full division of Coastal Jaegers and two battle groups of the Royal Navy had been appointed to the task of protecting the new settlements and of course their settlers. Refugees from other conflicts, such as Amadji and Hervians, would be guaranteed citizenship after five years of settlement, and the paper and lumber companies were exhilarated at the possibilities in the continental colony. For agricultural purposes the two islands seemed more appropriate, and soon ships loaded with settlers, equipment and supplies were on their way.

The northernmost of the new claims, an island that in another world would be the bastion of communism next to the most powerful capitalist country in the world, was of great interest to the farmers and miners of the first wave of expedition. The relatively small presence of natives could be easily dealt with, either via trade and negotiation or - if it came to that - with the iron will of the Northern Rangerian Defence Corps. The island chain in the north, following the coastline, offered a good site for building a defence perimeter if it came to that. Because of this the first settlement was placed in the northern coast, and the settlers began their work of clearing the land for plantations. Sugar, coffee, cotton... all those would grow well in this climate. Mining expeditions set out towards the mountainous lands deeper in native territory, guarded by NRDC assault rifles. This new colony would soon forget its original designation of 'Mistland' and would be re-dubbed Mikhailsland, after the Prince.

The second colony, which in the other world would be best known for such activities as limbo, Rastafarianism and everybody saying 'mon', was surprisingly empty when the settlers arrived on the southeastern coast, at the foothills of the mountain range they dubbed the Blue Mountains. Here there seemed to be no sign of the Arawk of the other islands, and the main colony of Princetown quickly took root. The island seemed a veritable paradise, and many considered the possibility of tourism once the University expeditions had mapped the island entirely. More conservative voices, however, also called for building up an agricultural base first, to provide both food and income for the new colony; once they were more self-reliant, tourism would be a more viable option. The industrial sector of Northern Rangeria was also pleased, as preliminary studies showed heavy bauxite and aluminium oxide deposits in the Blue Mountains. The new island was quickly dubbed Eden, for it indeed seemed like a paradise on earth.

The last of the new acquisitions seemed to be a disappointment, however. The mainland colony located close to Latislavik and Errikslandian holdings seemed to be unwelcoming, as the coastal lands were mostly marshy with only a narrow coastal plain. Still, the possibility of lumber and paper mills in the area was enticing, and the possibility of using the Royal Air Force to drop forces deep into the mountain range far south was discussed. They could then begin forming a base colony for mining operations. Nonetheless, the colony was named Alania after the Prime Minister, Duke Veele Alane. Some joked that naming a marshy colony like that was a joke on the Duke being a little 'wet', but there was always somebody who wanted to make a lousy joke.

OOC: Latislavia, I suggest that if there is no more interest in claiming land in the next day or so, that we go ahead and have a conference divide up Brazil and the other territories. I fully support more people claiming, but I think the conference would be a really interesting RP, and I know that threads can dissappear quickly.

Seconded

The city of New Tzargrad (OOC: built on the location of Bogota, Columbia) had been established as the capital of Neo-Ixanian America. It was the largest city in all of Neo-Ixanian America and was filled with schools, hospitals and parks. Surrounding the city were the barracks of soldiers; the Governor thought it would be convienent for the soldiers if they were close to the city. Sitting at his desk in the Governor's Palace; a massive and imposing palace that loomed over the center of the city, Leonid Baranov smiled as he held a picture of his wife in his hands. Since there was no need to be concerned; he would enjoy a romantic night at the new five-star restaurant built in the city.

The city of Schverzinski (ooc: built on the location of Tallahassee, Florida) was becoming the largest city in Florida. Viceroy Baranov decided to have the city built similarly to New Tzargrad; with schools and hospitals being the priority in construction. Soldiers were sent to barracks surrounding the city while settlers were being given houses in the city depending on their finances. A wealthy person, for example, could expect a more expensive house.

Plantations were built in the Columbian and Floridan countrysides; where crops would be raised and either sent to the cities or exported to Neo-Ixania. Neo-Ixanian companies were expanding into Neo-Ixanian America as they did in Neo-Ixanian Europia and Belkaros and were able to give jobs to many settlers. Colonial tourism was being considered but it would have to be discussed by the government first before any active promotion of Neo-Ixanian America would begin.

OOC: I think we should create an OOC thread.

Yeah, why don't we go ahead and claim any other territories that we want and then we can have the conference on dividing Brazil.
With that in mind, the Latislavik Federation wishes to claim the Cayman Islands.
IC: The Duma Gijlda (Golden Dome, Latislavia's government building)
PMR Rein Wilhelms was sitting at his desk that afternoon, surprised at the relatively slow rate of colonization in the world. Sure, he had heard the opinons of some of his citizens, saying that Latislavia was acting as an Old World Empire with Wilhelms as the Emperor. Frankly, he did not care about that. The colonization of this New World was really a government political strategy that was discussed in Parljagov 2 months earlier upon the news of a New Worls. Surely, Wilhelms thought, this would give Latislavia more of an international standing to assert itself as a major world power. Plus, he thought, this would enrich the already booming economy of Latislavia.

The next day
Wilhelms awoke and announced in Parljagov that Latislavia was also staking more island chains. After much debate, Parljagov passed down the judgement that the Cayman Islands, would be annexed.

A week later
Peter Milosovic landed on the Cayman Islands and claimed them all for Latislavia, now naming the the Kaymans. Already the population was growing to 1,560 people.

OOC: Well, if it's a free-for-all... Dibs on the Dominican Republic. IC post comin' up.


IC:

As sometimes happens, colonialism can also be a matter of chance. As the fleet of Northern Rangerian colony ships was traversing across the ocean, one of the ships, the Silja, was forced to stay behind due to engine trouble. Two other ships, the Marietta and Stella, staid behind to help the Silja fix its engines. The Silja had always been prone for such incidents, which was probably the reason why the former oceanic luxury cruiser had been sold so cheaply to be converted as a transport vessel.

Nonetheless, the Silja was eventually working again, and the three ships continued their voyage in the hopes of catching up with the main fleet. However, it was not merely the engines of the Silja that were below-average in quality. The haphazard repair works during the ship's conversion had also led to its navigational systems being faulty. And as the Marietta and Stella were even older vessels, they followed the large ship as it made landfall on what they thought to be Mikhailsland. The colonists did not see any signs of the coastal jaegers or the battle ships that had escorted them, so they believed they had merely landed in another part of the island. So, the temporary colony was beginning to form on the northern beach.

It was only a week later that a passing Royal Navy ship discovered the colony and informed them of their location: on a yet-unclaimed region of the archipelago. The western half of the island belonged to Baresia, but the eastern half had only just been colonised - by the colonists aboard the three ships left behind.

The colonial officials back in the Principality decided to make the most of the situation, so they claimed the area, and named it Gidsisle, after St Gid who was the patron saint of Northern Rangeria. Some said it was indeed a divine hand that had led the unlucky ships to land on this unclaimed area, while most just called it the luck of the Irish.

Still, no one complained about the acquisition of new territory.

OOC: If it is possible, I would like to claim some islands in the Caribbean such as Bermuda. I think that Latislavia should edit the map so that we can see which parts of the map have been claimed already.

Hey, I wanted the Dominican Republic. Can we work out some kind of agreement?

OOC: I actually thought that the conference could deal with all unclaimed territories, to avoid land grabs while other people aren't online. But free for all is fine too i guess.

If we are doing free for all, I would claim grenada

I can't make a map at this time just because I'm at another house using a different computer. Bermuda has not been claimed, so Neo-Ixania, its all yours. Baresia and Northern Rangeria, your gonna have to work out that claim.

OOC: Whenever you're ready on Brazil, Latislavia... count me in. And Baresia... sorry, man. Beat you by a few minutes. No hard feelings?

I like the idea of starting a new thread on the division of Brazil. It can be IC or OOC, however we make it, and we can use the map from earlier to determine the division. And yes Baresia, you now have Paraguay.

OOC: Hey, one thing... If you get some good areas in Brazil... I might be willing to make a trade with ya. Just FYI. ;)

Yeah, but again, we shall see. Hopefully I get some good seafront territory.

Lets stop the free for all for tonight and maybe pick it up in a new thread on the division of Brazil(I'll create the thread).

I understand and thank you for allowing me to have Bermuda; I am curious to know if there are any other unclaimed islands in the Caribbean that Neo-Ixania could have. As for Brazil, I am hopeful that Neo-Ixania can have some of it; it will be nice to have some peaceful expansion.

Fort Guyana, Kiravian Guiana

The relatively small habitation of Fort Guyana was a military and administrative base, the Kiravian command centre for its newly acquired mainland territory in northern South America. With about 2,000 inhabitants, mainly soldiers, officials, administrators, and maitenance personnel, it was dwarfed even by some of the native villages nearby.

Guiana would not become a colony. Ever. Few settlers would ever arrive, and even then, not in significant numbers. It would be a governate, an exploit territory, with the use of its resources powered by a native labour force, and overseen by a small number of Kiravians.

Caribbea

The rest of the Kiravian claim islands were promptly annexed, and outfitted with prefabricated garrison bases to secure them until settlers arrived.

Alright y'all, I'll go post that thread now. Look for it under the title Brazil Conference

pertdart (now the governor of new zachland) finally sent out a letter to the other colonies he had the port ready for ships, he had just got new supplies, and a scout group had located a group of natives that he was going to meat tonight. so the letter was sent.


TO ALL NATIONS
the city of baziri (with permission from the tzar himself) will accept trade ship for international trade any country's interested can bring a trade ship with any goods. so far we offer skins, fruit, and wheat (we mite offer more later) we hope to see trade ships soon.

thank you

OOC: Is there a way for Neo-Ixania to claim parts of the United States? I've been thinking about having a Neo-Ixanian version of the Thirteen Colonies (but with no revolution)

That'd call for a whole 'nother rp.

Why not start it?

That's okay with me; I was thinking I would have to start another RP. I was hoping that I could do it all in this one though.

You'd certainly be able to politically unify them, if that's what you'd want to do.

1. I am in the process of creating a thread for my claiming of the Thirteen Colonies but I do not mean to involve other nations; it would only be a declaration of my claims to those lands.
2. My plan was to claim them as a new colony for my nation and then gradually develop them.

How would other nations be involved?

OOC: I never thought about that much, Kirav. I only thought about simply expanding my claims north from Florida if possible.

OOC: **surrenders to GZ and begins to post**

Austramerica's request for colonial status was granted. Trinidad and the other Caribbean islands were incoprorated as the Colony of Caribbea. Kiravian Guiana, however, was reorganised into nothing more than a governate, an exploit colony.

The opinions of the Nosorian populace were mixed.The Imperial Socialist Party was overjoyed to hear of the establishment of the first nosorian colony.While the Domestic Front Party despised the notion stating that,"Socialist Nations shouldn't have colonies.The DFP(the only party to reject the application into the K.C)also said that a Nosorian imperial policy would"Only enlarge the Kiravian Sphere of Influence by using us as a tool".


Meanwhile,Ssedula Tarmo settlement,Colony of Crecessaru

A few months after the annexation,the colonists numbered about 400. Only a brief sightings of natives had been recorded and knowledge of there culture was minimal.The village of Ssedula Tarmo(Tarmo Coast)was off to a good start,trade from their sister colony the Dominon of America was more than enough to stimulate the little settlement's economic growth.As the settlers made theirselves at home,they wandered what layed ahead and how the colony would affect their homeland.

Once news was recieved of Crecessaru's founding, a small ship was sent from Caribbea's capital city, Palmforest, carrying supplementary supplies for the colonists.

Meanwhile, in Kartika, Praetor Thenris Candlea was concerned about the DFP's accusations of neocolonialism. "Damn political parties! They should know that if we want influence, we build our own colony!". Ironically, Praetor Candlea is known for his belief in a more integrated KC.

OOC: These threads really do die quickly.....speaking of which, where did the Brazil conference go? *is too lazy to search*

IC: Mephrasian Central America

A small convoy of ships moved towards the coast of Central America. The captain, standing on the bridge, finally caught site of some trees, gently peaking over the horizon. "Men, we are almost there." With these words, the ship erupted in celebration. A small landing party was assembled and quickly set out for the coast. What they could see at the moment was largely jungle, however the Empire saw great potential in these lands, especially to provide a Pacific seaport for the empire.

The first group of colonists numbered in the hundreds, and would oversee the construction of the first settlements, as well as survey the lands to see what crops could be successfully grown on the lands. This would be a large undertaking, yet one from which the Empire would benefit greatly.

in the other side of new zachland mayor iris was in a stand still, an accidental clash with natives and settlers is slowly turning it into a war. luckily she was a good diplomat and hoped to end the conflict in a meting with the tribes leader.......

Kiravian Guyana*

The new Governate of Guyana was still virtually unsettled. Aside from Fort Guyana, the only Kiravian settlements were Volare, Fort Aerien, and New Belém. With the exception of the latter, which was a port city, the other communities were just coastal administration bases to keep the province under control.

*Note the change in spelling

Nova Hibernia

The islands off of Austramerica's coast became neither a full-fledged colony, nor a meager Governate. They were instead classified as the first Kiravian Overseas Territory.

The economy revolved around small-time farming and fishing. The oil deposits offshore would remain untapped for environmental reasons, leaving the only industry in Nova Hibernia as fish and wool processing.

However, the vast schools of squid within the KOT's waters drew many fishing vessels from elsewhere in the Empire. Processing the squid provided a boost to local buisness.

Austramerica

More immigrants were arriving daily. Farmers, merchants, workers, professionals, and even some wealthy buisnessmen stepped off ships into Arënia's busy port.

IC:

Caribbea
How to you carve an economy out of the Lesser Antilles? Resources? Not enough. Too hard to extract them. Farming? No, exports will be outcompeted. It takes to many contract labourers. Shipping? Won't cut it.

There's one thing that the small islands of Kiravian Caribbea were good for above all others: Tourism.

Sandy beaches, shady palm trees, tropical fruit cocktails, turquoise waters, sunny weather, everything a tourist could wish for. Soon, resorts opened up on New Hebride, Barbados, and several other islands. Windward Airlines, a Kiravian company, opened up to provide twice weekly passenger flights from various world airports.

It would be foreign tourism, of course, though. Kiravians much prefered to go on winter holidays, or to cooler places in the summer. Besides, resorts were considered "garish" and "nauseating" by many in the Kirosphere.

(OCC:how much of Central America is left? I want to make it into more colonies.)

well we still are low on people activity

Aye. What's happened to the Brazil thread?

IC:

Agriculture flourished across Kirav's American colonies. Austramerica produced cale, wheat, cattle, and other normal Kiravian crops. Caribbea's plantations were burgeoning with their produce of spices, coconuts, and other tropical crops. Nova Hibernia's sheep farms were doing relatively well.

However, in the tropical colony of Trinida(Trinidad), the agricultural prosperity was coming at a steep price. The imported Kemerali contract labourers were growing tired of their inferiority to Kiravian citizens. At this point in time, the Kiravians maintained a 56% majority of the population, the rest being a seething pool of angry Kemeralis, teetering on the brink of rebellion.
