Welcome to the beginning of the Earth of Customization (hereafter referred to as EC). As the title suggests this is an earth where customization of your own nation is allowed to a great extent and where one can RP their Own nation in the past, using real world territories and populations. We will be starting this in the year 1867 CE, however the only things that will be the same as in 1867 are populations and geography. If you care to you can create a tiny nation of Chinese people following Hinduism in Scandinavia or any possible combination of ethnicity, culture and religion anywhere on earth that isn't already claimed. Now many earths have been that way before, including some very goods ones, but too many of them have failed for a lack of order and balance. In EC one cannot have both a huge nation, a powerful economy and a powerful military and now I will proceed to explain to you, as succinctly as possible, how this order and balance is accomplished.
Everyone starts out on an equal footing in this RP, with 20 points each no matter how many posts you have or how big your nation is. These points can be used to purchase varying starting attributes that give certain benefits, the first of which is land. You must spend at least 8 points on land. Below this paragraph you see two links to maps, labeled "Claims Map" and "Point Costs Map", both of which are very straightforward. The Claims Map simply shows the current land claims, while the Point Costs Map shows how many points each piece of land costs (If you don't like the divisions on the map, post or tg me with a map of what you want to claim and I will tell you how much it costs). You can spend all of your 20 points to get a huge chunk of land, but then you will find yourself with a horrible economy, nonexistent military and you will still be in the Dark Ages technologically. When you acquire a piece of land, you get its historical 1895 population along with its natural resources (obviously you also get the topography and geography of that territory in real life). However as I stated earlier those will be the only things about the land that are the same as in real life.
If you wish to claim asian territories you will get a discount, should you want play as an asian nation.
