Iron and Blood: Redux – Sign Up Thread

As per the GM instructions, I will hold off doing any diplomacy.

For some clarity – the reason I want to hold off on diplomacy is to prevent what happened with IB1, where the world was already “divided” in the middle of sign-ups, and people that joined a little later were at a distinct disadvantage.

I’d like for everyone to have a level playing field, regardless of when they sign up.

Once the sign-ups are closed, I’ll give ample time to work things out before the first update.

THE TRIUMPHIRATE OF AUSTRALIA​

FLAG SHALL COME SOON

COLOR: ORANGE!

CAPITAL: AUSTRALIA

DESCRIPTION/HISTORY: The triumphirate is a council of three members that are elected for 8 year terms that rule the Australian empire. The economy is capitalist but has many many socialist aspects to it so it more of a hybrid between capitalism and socialism. The reason there is a triumphirate is that for 100's of years dicators had ruled australia under an iron fist, until about a hundred years ago when the dictator was thrown out and military rule ensued. The military leader soon stepped down and created the triupmhirate. Australia is an economic powerhouse and while it does have a large defensive military, it's offensive military operations and funding are small. Australia's major sport is soccer and wishes to hold a soccer olympics that whole world can attend. Australia is a mix of religions but the two major religions are atheist and Bahai, with others very close.

GOALS: Australia is focused on becoming a technological and economic power. It has a military but is not very focused on it compared to its focus on economics and tech (Going with times, economically we want to be a trading empire). Australia is big on soccer as you can see, so it would like to host a soccer olympics. Australia also wishes to help nations that are fighting to become nations become nations since that is what it had to do about a hundred years ago.

NATIONAL MOTTO: It is true that economic porsperity is jumpstarted by war, but when an economy is jumpstarted by peace, then it shall stand the test of time.

Sultanate of Lusitania ​

Color: Dark Green
Capital: Lisbon, Portugal

Description: A part of Al-Andalus for years, it was given the right to govern itself in 1354, as a vassal state under the sultan of Al-Andalus. When the christian kingdoms were defeated, it began to strength the navy, and had a dream that one day the sultanate will cross the ocean. And it was the first too. Landing in what is now Porto Seguno is 1499, it quickly established a colony in this foreign land. Other colonies appeared in Africa, and for a short time Lusitania was one of the largest nations on the planet.

December 13th, 1621 was when Lusitania became an independent nation, what always strives to remain close with its homeland. For one hundred years, it seemed like a golden age had dawn on the Muslim World. People were speaking Arabic, becoming Muslim, and adopted the customs of the old. But this golden age could not last forever, and when Brazil declared its independence in 1782, they would have to work hard to bring it back. The colonies in Africa also revolted a short time later, and the Sultan ruled only in Portugal.

Government: Sultanate
Leader: Sultan [NAME]
Religion: Islam

National Goals: To usher in a new golden age for the Muslim World

Capital: Havana (Caribbean)
Description....

"After Admiral Castro, now Emperor Castro, cast off the chains and shackles forged in the heart of the then Spanish Empire, he granted himself Emergency Power and went to great lengths since 1915 to establish a uniquely Cuban identity. Many Spanish Loyalists found their homes and businesses vandalized as the Emperor made land and modernization reforms to counteract decades of Spanish technological, industrial, and agriculture negligence and stagnation.

After fifteen years of Emergency Powers, the Emperor has lifted the crown from his head and the first elections will begin in 1835, marking one of the few peaceful transitions of absolute power to power in the hands of the people. After years of blood, sweat, and tears to modernize the country, Castro has only four years to prepare the country for the new idea of democracy, free elections, secret ballots, and more."

Goals: Make the Empire of the Caribbean Sun a leading industrial, scientific, and cultural power on the planet and become an international supporter of self-determinism.

Why not Tropico?

We are all doomed.
