Nation name: Southern Han Empire
Flag:
han.jpg

Color: Purplish Red
Capital: Canton
Description: The Han people took control of Southern China after the Qing dynasty fell, and made the new capital the city of Guangzhou. The Han are the majority of the people here, the elite, and as such most of the important people (the scientists, the merchants, the scholars, and the emporer too) are all Han. Getting the lesser Chinese people to join the Southern Han Empire was easy peasy, as most of them are backwoods hill people who didn't even know the Qing had fallen in the first place. The one's who did resist were killed, of course. Han people worship their ancestors and ask for their guidance, and many are buddhist or taoist and most everyone is confucius. The elite class are scholars, and dumb people have to be peasants. The Southern Han built a great imperial palace in Guangzhou with three great towers (called Sun, Moon, and Heaven) where the scholars study the elements and the stars and the properties of the natural world. The Han also have many other great universities focused on improving farming and sailing techniques, and because they found fish plentiful in the harbors this year the Han believe, as the superstitious people they are, that they are called to master the seas.
National Goals: To become the largest trade empire in East Asia and to have a great navy. Also, conquer places.
 
Nation name: The Spanish Empire
Flag:
650px-Bandera_de_Castilla_y_Le%C3%B3n.svg.png

Color: Navy Blue
Capital: Spain(Madrid)
Description: The nearly homogenous Republic of Spain was brought down in the bloody revolution of 1826. The Ultra-Nationalist party took full control of the nation through superior military might. The dictator, Alejandro Garcia, began to espouse that new glory days had come again to the empire. The once great nation would extend over the oceans again, a vast colonial kingdom to rival that of the old ages. Garcia promised the return of spanish dominance over the world. The people listened and now, as the last vestiges of rebellion have been crushed, he is ready to take the world by storm.

The recent Ultra-Nationalist reforms have changed the nation. Roman Catholicism is taught in schools, immigration and emigration are next to impossible, high tarrifs are imposed on all foreign goods, and spanish is the only language taught at schools or used in official papers.
National Goals: Control both side of the gibraltar straight, establish a colonial empire, Unite the Iberian peninsula.
 
TK's IOTs.

So popular, they fill to overcapacity in less than two days after sign-ups started and LENGTHY diplomatic and economic agreements form several days before the game even starts.
 
:lol:
 
TK i've got a question; People (including my self :p) are dividing territories between 2 or more countries, is that actually possible/allowed?
 
If it can change in war then why not in peace?

It's possible, but I discourage it, since it means more work for me. To provide extra discouragement, such an arrangement will attract a very high revolt risk, and only one of the countries occupying the same province can order new factories to be built, usually the country originally owning the province if it is split because of war.

We have 26 players, I think that's plenty. Sign-Ups are now closed while I write up a history of the world and political alignments and victory conditions for each country (pray for me).
