There was a thread about this earlier and it dissapeared so I'm going to start another. First you can one country in europe to be your home nation. This is a first come first serve. the countries will be. The time period is around 1500 after the discovery of the new world and as the countries begin to take their colonies.
-france
-spain
-england
-portugal
-holland
-germany
-italy
-belgium
-sweeden
-greece
-norway
I realize there are more but these are the major powers and I will limit the countries to these to prevent to many nations.
As for the colonies every state east of the mississippi and Missouri, Louisiana, Arkansas, Iowa and Minnesota. Each Country will be able to pick 2 states or many different colonies in different states. You can have 2 states or 4 colonies or 1 state and 2 colonies. The reminig land can be dealtpolitically but try to not start wars until evry one is stable or you will be kicked out of this thread. Alliances can be set up.Once everything is claimed I will put up a map and we can start.
I will start by saying i am France with Pennsylvania and New Jersey as my colonies.

Just for the record, I am Xirya. Sorry for the confusion.

I would like to add two settlements, as you allowed in the OP. These would be Erie Co., Pennsylvania, and a settlmentin Ohio.

Prycuse-Portugal-FL/GA
Avalic-Germany-MA/NH
Miroxia-Greece-IO/MO

You can have those colonies but you have to pick another country because i already have that. And if your going to be in this your going to have to tone it down because
you seem like the person whos going to start a whole bunch of problems (just assuming not trying to be mean), but as long as you promise to be cool about this and pick another country as your homeland you can be in this thread.

Just for the record I dont plan on doing everything for this thread. Ill get it set up but once we start with the actual thing you guys can independantly post. But while were doing the thread I really just want to handle things politically and not have too much conflict so if anyone is going to do this JUST to start wars they can just leave. Battles will probly happen occasionaly but NOT ALL THE TIME!
Festejar

1.As were doing this we need some type of time(for example week is a year) so time will actually pass.
2.try to use real info and other facts about you country and colony to keep things realistic
3.EVENTUALLY I WANT TO HAVE EVERYONE KIND OF FORM A SINGLE GOVERNMENT AND PASS LAWS AND OTHER THINGS OF THAT NATURE DOES ANYONE ELSE LIKE WHAT IM SAYING IN THE THINGS ABOVE OR ABOUT THE CONFLICT RULES?

Like the EU?

Well this thread is getting it set up and discussing how we are going to run it once we get it up and running. So to start off i posted how i want to run it but you are free to debate how we are running it.
Festejar
13-10-2008, 00:21
Like the EU?

Exactly, like we will be soverign nations but we make laws together and live in peace unless somthing BIG happens but that will not happen very often. So do you like that idea?
Zoingo
13-10-2008, 00:21
That sounds like a great idea!
Festejar
13-10-2008, 00:25
so if we have a majority we will end up running it like that.
Zoingo
13-10-2008, 00:27
okay, so the "EU" will have no control over war and things like that?

too bad this is on earth!!
Festejar

If you know your going to start wars and disrupt this you should just leave right now
Festejar
13-10-2008, 00:54
The criteria for a war must
1.make sense and have a sensible reason
2.be able to possibly negoitiate out of it
3.be approved by me
4.be approved by the other nations(majority)
5.not affect neutral colonies
Festejar
13-10-2008, 00:55
This is mostly political and the colony new world will function similar the the EU or united nations
Zoingo
13-10-2008, 00:55

No, I just wanted know

I don't want something like this to happen:

nation a attacks nation b because both don't agree on a border, the Eu steps in and says that nation a can't invade nation b. So then the whole thing turns political and then A has to explain itself for attacking B...so on and so forth....untill the whole thing becomes an utter waste of time for all parties.

I don't want to warmongger, that is the last thing I would ever do. But I would like to point out a few things that could be improved.

1 This of course, is obvious, no "Im atakin u becuz u have nukkkezzz!!!!!"
2 Again, a reasonable term
3 Not always a good idea, that could make the whole process corrupted
4 See number 3, a majority of people could just simply "vote down" a war
5 Debatable, a neutral country could violate a treaty by harboring enemy vessles, or loaning money to a side.

OK yeah I understand and agree all of your points an I think that most of the wars will be reasonable I just dont want this thing turning into war after war. Occasional wars will be accepted but they should be realistic. My whole point in making this was to make it as realistic as possible so the Occasional war is alright but Again I just mostly political stuff.

I want the Eu gov type thing to be a way for us to make laws agree on trade, borders etc but i do not want it to be a global police force so it will ony intervene when ABSOLUTELY NECCESARY

Does that sound OK:)
Festejar
13-10-2008, 01:22
Before we start I think all of the participating nations should all agree on issues like war trade, humanitarian laws, etc. Agree?

The WA calling you an Anarchy doesn't actually mean you are one. It just means hat you have a ridiculous amount of social, economic, and political freedom. The Empire is actually a unicameral civilocratic federacy of republics.
