Nileia
Great work
Hey I got a message telling me to come here. The region looks cool and really well done.
Asharken, Metropolitan Francais
I have been going over different regions for a while now, and yours has drawn the short straw of having me.
I'll be looking over the map.

**The Royal Palace - Osas, Royal Nigaria**
Prince Fiennes Frey lay strewn across the padded floor, his hand absent-mindedly playing with a bowl of grapes. Sat across from his were only a handful of advisors, all arguing while pointing at documents on a table. The ebony masterpiece was littered with reports, research and data, of which the men talked loud and fast. Prince Frey smiled lightly to himself. The art of the argument, or Intisi in Nagriagan, was a popular pastime. It helped to build character, relationships and confidence in a persons speaking ability. For today, the argument lay in the development of a new city. As Prince Frey zoned into the argument, he stood himself up and walked over to the gaggle of individuals, squeezing himself into the group and joining the conversation.
"For lack of a better word, you are an idiot, Mr Bandaji." A tall, thin and freckled man, dressed in a clean white shirt and baggy beige pants, a very traditional but formal outfit, stood tall. The adviser for internal affairs, Birb Roos, was the man who studied the great nation, providing crucial information for the Princes on the management of the nation's advisers. "Your entire idea is based on designs and architecture that stands out more than a white man in the centre of Osas. It is distasteful." A few men around the table grunted in agreement, some of them whispering between themselves. One of the men shaking his head, however, was Bandey Bandaji, the adviser for local affairs. His primary job was to uphold the nations best interests and help maintain local governments. He stood their dressed in a similar outfit to Birb Roos, but with a more beige shirt and a darker set of pants. His heavy set frame definitely set him apart from those surrounding him.
"Mr Roos, this is the 21st century," he said, his booming voice echoing around the room. "We need to bring new architecture to the streets of Nigaria." Bandey Bandaji looked towards Prince Yerf, his dark brown eyes showing full emotion. "My Prince, as much as we love traditional architecture, this is our opportunity to show off the works of many skilled individuals, from builders to plumbers to whoever else knows. We could present a new generation of pristine architecture." The room went quiet while everyone's eyes turned to the Prince. He looked at the map of the planned area for development, a location just outside the city of Orantuna. The landscape was beautiful, the area nestling against the coastline. This could be the ticket to bring the region of Yuria out of economic downfall.
Prince Frey finally summed up a sentence. "This is our chance to show how well Nigaria can be developed. How much we care for our people, our land, our history." He moved around the table, placing his hand on each individuals shoulders as he talked. "With this new city, we can change the lives of not only the local populace, but our entire nation. We can change the face of the continent, even, with the right actions." He stopped at the head of the table, looking down the map from the north side to the south. It looked beautiful in every design. He finally looked up after what felt like eternity, his eyes locking with everyone else's. "Mr Roos, Mr Bandaji, we will take both your ideas. Lets make this the new face of Nigaria."

Royal Nigaria is now preparing to develop a new city by the name of "Mik" just south of "Orantuna"

Going off of the fact that the calendar is being reset to 1929, where should i claim on the map?
Bonjour and welcome to you all!
Please join us in our fun. ^<^
Central Arstotzka
You may choose anywhere you like as long as it's not already claimed.
Based off your flag I see you might be a Danish fan. I believe Denmark still is open.
Although you may have to undergo a period of German occupation during the post war years.
Naturally you will be liberated though.
That could be fun.
Indeed.
Fear not though, for France will also undergo this torture of occupation briefly.
But we can sit on the beaches of Dover and sip champagne as the war ensues.
Any recommendations on a spot, owing to the time switch?
I've telegrammed the cartographer, but i don't think he's seen my message just yet.
Liberia
What spots interest you the most?
Well, there are many spots that will become colonies in the next timeline. But you can still RP these colonial states, you just have to be in agreement with the colonial master. I recommend either Africa or Asia
Asharken, Kotakuan Ii
I'll take Liberia.
Wait a second, the year is being reset? Sorry, I've been out for a few days.
Asharken, Kotakuan Ii
Were starting in 1929.

THE FUTURE OF THE REPUBLIC OF FINLAND: BRIGHT FOR SOME, DIM FOR OTHERS
[list][sup]A STRUGGLE OF TRUTH AND PRIDE
FINLANDAUTUMN 2027[/sup][/list]
The Presidency of Finland's autocratic Alvi Karvonen was a cautionary tale. It demonstrated the danger of misinformation, extremist mentalities, and jingoism even in one of the most developed states in the worldviews were suppressed, intellects suffocated and borders warped by Karvonen's rule, which sprung from a dubious death and an even more dubious military maneuver. Academia struggled against him, as did warriors of truth and knowledge. However, his administration ultimately led to a dark, aggressive period in Finnish politics, defined by blind Finno-Ugric pride and a belief in Finland's divine role as a protector of Finno-Ugrians. Its future is uncertain. Whether Karvonen's grip will chronically hold the country's politics in an autocracy is a question for the nation's descendants. Either way, a struggle for the fate of the country is inevitable, and will surely be told by the storytellers of tomorrow.

How do I get confirmed in the discord?
You have to TG the map cartographer
Yes, 1929
Alaroth
What country does everyone suggest for this period that ISN'T under colonial rule?
Nepal
Alaroth
*Triggers Nepal world conquest*
Thailand, but you'd still be under colonial influence by the French and Japanese. Any European country really, and any South American country. Maybe a Chinese warlord state.
I think Ill return to Venezuela again
New Beginnings (in preparation for the timeline switch)
______________________________
In 1929, Austria is a country broken and divided. The World War has relegated the once great empire to a minor position in European politcs, and Austria-Hungary is now a distant memory of glory days past as economic stagnation impoverishes the Austrian people. Now is the time of the political radicals, who haunt the fledgling Republic established little over a decade ago. All throughout Vienna, factions are vying for political power. Marxists battle Fascists, the occult wages spiritual warfare against the Church, aristocrats plot to restore the monarchy. Ideas new and old captivate the collective unconscious, tearing down the edifices of the present order and erecting hackneyed ideals of the future. What will be the fate of Austria in 20th century? Who will be the victor to rise out of the political struggles? If God is watching, he mourns for the nation.

I was thinking potentially a warlord state. Does anyone know if Mongolia is open for sure? I know not Chinese, but over there in the region, at least.
Hey friend! look that I am already Austria from before! don't steal my country, ok?
Also, is Poland open?
That's odd, I was told Austria is available. Paramountica gave me the green light to play as Austria in the forthcoming 1929 reset.
No I'm sorry Austria was already me paramuontica is very busy, perhaps he has forgotten.
Should be open, no one ever really rps Mongolia
I'm not sure about Poland
Alaroth
Occupied.
Mongolia sounds pretty good tbh, I think it'll be interesting!
Last I checked; yes. But realize that soon you'll be split like an egg by Germans and Soviets
Alaroth
Yeaaaah, which is why I was thinking more along the lines of Mongolia instead
So instead you can be split by the Chinese and the Soviets~ you dirty dog you ;)))
Alaroth
Either way, it seems I have a thing for Stalin ;)
Yarosluv, Victoria Harbor
I'm open to suggestions though! I'm pretty flexible
Yarosluv
Cuba might be nice. There's a few big South American players and the US is active. Might be a nice beginning spot
AND, as time goes on, Cuba could be more and more interesting! So that's a good thought!
Yarosluv
Here here
Alaroth
Is Mexico free?
Should be, yah
Alaroth
I think I just found my spot, if so. Yo hablo espanol
Yarosluv
Thank ya much!
Yarosluv
So how will the borders work for the next timeline?
1929 start date, but modern borders?
as always; the borders will change to fit the time
Kotakuan Ii
Ah, gotcha.
The phrasing of "To establish new starting RP date of January 1st 1929 with map borders on Real Life (RL) date November 7th 2021" made it sound like the map borders were to be based on "November 7th, 2021 RL borders"
*scratches head*
ig?
I admit that my intepretation required a massive failure in basic reading comprehension.

Bausc moment
Asharken, Kotakuan Ii
No it isnt
The map is not up to date at all.
Pick Iraq or Syria but I suggest Syria since it's really close to independence
*the list
The map is up to date, Venezuela is part of Colombia
Is Denmark Norway and Iceland supposed to be one spot still? xP
Not my problem so Ill be claiming Venezuela or the spot with it
youre a real go getter, champ
Ill be making my new nation with more fitting name and start my lore for the reset
Bro its taken already lol.
Shh shhh
I wanna see where this goes... who will emerge Venezuelan
I can say it 20 more times but Im still gonna claim it
In your dreams bozo
Not a dream its actually happening
Ok then what
Well Ive already got a good history in mind I just need to write most of it down then Ill start posting RPs when the time resets
You can post RPs, but theyll be disregarded until Paramountica approves your spot. Which he wont, because its taken.

Oh honeyyy please

Imagine my shock.
I got approved a couple hours ago for the new timeline so Ill just start writing now
1929 Reset ?
you need a N*** Germany cause Bayren won't do it ?
Vancouver Straits
Even better idea: no 2nd World War at all for an actual alternate history.
The Waste Land, Nonador, Yarosluv, Astarina, Asharken, Zabrowka
you know that is highly unlikely.
>_>
how else will the inevitable cold war get a reason to exist ?
if you want actual Alt History go back further (1860 for example) and start their.
Bauscland
We may as well just say our RPs are exclusively Cold War-centered.
The Waste Land
sadly that's how it appears to be, I mean correct me if I am wrong but isn't the current 2027 RP still Cold War Centered ?
Nonador, Bauscland
I mean yeah, but that's sort of what the RL world is like too. So...
Three-way Cold War could be hot
I do love a three-way
I have an Idea on how to change the Dynamic a Bit for the Reset.

[spoiler= please play the Video as you read this]
the Molotov-Ribbentrop Alliance!
[/spoiler]
The Concert of Europe was effectively a... uh... group activity... Cold War.
Astarina
Group activity, eh? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
[When does the timeline change and how does it affect countries that were under colonial occupation?
I believe the timeline changes on November 7
Countries that were under colonial occupation IRL will become colonies in the RP universe, but can negotiate an earlier date for independence with their colonial overlord. Otherwise they have to give independence by the RL date
Great, thanks!
we do most of our OOC talk on the discord now, which can be found in the Q&A ^^
Ok
It just shows me the lobby and I'm not allowed to speak:(
