Mini-IOT: Terranova

[Tambien]

Link to video.​

It is the year 1 AKL. Mankind has reached the stars, and civilization has come to one of the only places it can be supported: Terranova.

Welcome to Mini-IOT Terranova!

Please read the rules, it won't take you five minutes and I have modified some of them.

Spoiler Map :

Rules
1. Updates can only happen after all players have had a chance to comment, or at least 48 hours since the last update, whichever comes first.

2. This Mini-IOT will have a tech level of Modern. (You know, when you do Custom Game and select modern)

3. We WILL advance technologically, but I will decide what tech you guys get next. You can ask for a certain one, of course.

4. In this Mini-Imperium Offtopicum I will start in the year 1 AKL.

5. I am the GM. I will not be playing. I expect you to behave well, or there will be consequences. I am not afraid to report posts.

6. If you choose to resign, the first reserve on the list will have your land, but they will choose whether or not to play the same nation as you.

7. IOT is a monster if not kept in check. Please PM me your battle orders, war declarations, claims, or to post them here (so other players can see). If you want to launch a sneak attack, you can give me the battle order without posting. If you want you can both post and PM.

8 Claims. You are free to claim 6 CONNECTED territories per turn.

Furthermore, please give me maps as well, to save how much searching I have to do to know what the heck you want.

On islands: All islands cost 1 expansion point. And each island is its own territory unless otherwise shown.

9. If you are at war, you may choose to attack or to not. You can attack 5 territories per turn, provided they're adjacent with your nation. If they are not, you are limited to 2.

Battles will be decided as so:

I will randomly generate two numbers between 1-10, one for the attacker and one for the defender. The higher number wins.

10. Spam:
I'll be rather laid-back about this, but if I need to tell you something I'll post it in BOLD DarkRed.

11. Please notify me if you are going to be inactive, and what you would like done about it.

12. The GM reserves the right to final map changes, and to change the rules at any time.

If you want to get put on the waiting list PM me or post in-thread.

People's Republic of Ractia​

Spoiler :

Government: Bicameral presidential system (think United States)

Economy: Socialist

Capital: New Kiev

Bio:
The great Ractian peoples are an offshoot of their former motherland of the Ukraine. After arriving on Terranova, the Ractians found a place with lush grasslands and river valleys, forming their own nation on an island they called "Ractia." However, the lack of immediate resources on Ractia drove the colonists to conquer the vast forests to their south, bringing in a long, thin strip of land called the Sliver. Today, the proud Ractian people look to expanding their fledgling nation over the greater part of Terranova, and exercising control over all that require protection.

Do what he did.




You can post now.

People's Republic of Ractia​

Economy: Socialist

Capital: New Kiev (central province on the island)

Yea. I figured out how to post a vid. so, its up there under the Logo.

 

[Mosher]

I approve of that video.

Republic of Jefferson



Economy: Lazzies Faire

Capitol: Jefferson (Right on the tip of the Pennensula)

Bio: The Republic of Jefferson was founded by ex-Americans and other Anglosphere countries that wished to upheld their traditions of liberty, freedom and justice to all. Naming themselves after Thomas Jefferson, they are here to kick butt and free the Organics.

(I did horrible on the stars, I know. I think everything else turned out great, which is why I didn't scrap it. Please just imagine those stars to be in a perfect wheel.)

 

[Tambien]

Go Jefferson!

 

[Omega124]

Do I smell mod bias?

If this starts before Monday, I will be gone until then.

Reliable Excavation and Demolition Corporation​

Government: Its a large corporation.
Economy: Same as above.

History: Founded by a Mr. Redmond Mann in 1850 on Earth, it offered demplition services. While that was true, beneath all the button-pressers and the paper-pushes, it secretly controlled half of the world's governments, with the other half being controlled by thier rivals, Builders League United. Each corporation administers its half of the world with a multi-disciplined army of paper pushers. For any problem lacking an obvious bureaucratic solution, mercenaries are contracted to address the situation through a massive application of force. Conflicts between the two companies began as land disputes between their leaders and have continued through hundreds of years to the present day. RED and BLU share an intense rivalry, with nearly all encounters between the two quickly escalating into brutal and often fatal violence. Inter-company friendship is also strictly forbidden by mercenary contract.

Recently, Red Medic figuered out a surprising new thing, one that may finish the war with BLU, how to bring someone back from the dead. He brought to life the old founder Redmond Mann, and not long after, the BLUs did the same thing with Blutarch Mann, thier founder. When Mr. Mann first heard about the profit of space, he sent his best men to Terranova, to offer thier "services" to the new colonies.

I'll put my stats up later

 

[SamSniped]

Athenia​

Spoiler Land Claimed(Green) :

Government-Democracy based off of the democracy in ancient(Hellenistic) Athens.

Economy-Complex to explain. Somewhat like the one in USA, but taxes are even and based off of how much money you earn.

History-Long before gunpowder was invented, before cravels and galleons, even before Knights, there stood a mighty city-state in the Mediterannean. Athens. It was the largest of the city states, and was supposedly named after the godess of wisdom and war strategy (among other things), Athena. Now, some of the brightest generals and philoshophers and their families who realized the ways of then were best decided to leave for Terranova to settle a new land in its name-Athenia.

Great Job so far eveyone!

Most Serene Republic of Acha​

Spoiler Land Claimed(Light Blue) :

Government- Republic, much like the US.

Economy- Taxes are high to fund the government policy of ecology. Sustainable development is key: overfishing, overforesting, or anything else like it is illegal.

History- One faction that arose on Terranova was the Ecologists. They were not as opposed to the Singularity itself as much of the other groups, but found the cost of it, the environment, to be completely too much. Now, on this new world, they pledge to never repeat the mistakes of Earth and to respect and nurture the environment. Many in Acha follow a religion based off of worshiping "The Earth Goddess".

What the hey, I'm in.

 

[Tambien]

I might have to slate you for destruction if you don't believe the Singulartiy is bad.

Oh, yeah, strangely the planet has the same life and a near the same climate of Earth.

 

[mythmonster2]

Not opposed to it as much as the others. They still didn't like it just like everyone else.

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Tambien, Im updating my stats wait one minute.

 

[Tambien]

I am updating later today. No worries.
