New World (Map Game)

Welcome to the New World.

The year in Gregorian terms is unknown, but we know it as 990. Centuries — or even millenia, we're not quite sure — have passed since we lost contact with the Homeworld. We only know it for certain as the planet on which our species was born. We know we came from another planet. It has many names. Some call it Gaea. Others call it Terra. But most people know it as Earth.

According to the oldest records we could find, humans have been here for quite a while, but no one is certain how long exactly we have been around. Since the first colonies were settled thousands of years have undoubtedly gone by, so we can't exactly ask them about what our Homeworld was like. According to legend, it was a dark place, full of destruction and wastelands.

In the years gone by since the first colonies were settled, expanded and then abandoned, our population now stands at over three billion, and we are spread out across the landmass of the planet. We've grown so apart in culture and politics that we have divided ourselves into what we call "nations" or "countries." Maybe they called them the same thing back on the Homeworld — no one knows for sure.

Tensions have risen between the nations of the world. War looms over us. Militaries begin to mobilise. But no one wants to fight. No one wants our world to share the same fate as the one before. But all it takes is that one command to open fire...

Information

 * This map game begins in the year 990. It has been 990 years since the first nations began to form on this planet.
 * Average technological level has reached what is projected to be that of the 2020s AD, as humanity has undergone another dark age since its disconnection from Earth. Nuclear weapons are common to most nations Tier 2 and above (see military tiers for details).
 * The planet is known as Novasol III-B. It is a large moon orbiting a gas giant, the third planet in a system of five. The star is a Yellow Main-Sequence Star.

Rules

 * If you'd like to participate, simply put your name down as one of the nations!
 * Half a year passes every turn in the map game. In each turn your nation can improve three of five aspects of your nation — infrastructure, economy, military, industry or technology. If your empire has vassal states these vassals can have their stats improved independently, as they're technically separate sovereign states.
 * Please do not engage in sockpuppetry (using more than one account). If you do, you will be banned from this map game.
 * Be as plausible as you can! If it's implausible, the mods will help correct you. It is a fictional world, so don't stress if the mods think what you want will not work.
 * If you are inactive for a lengthy period of time, your nation may be subject to disaster scenarios created by the moderators. The nation will eventually be removed from the game entirely.
 * A new turn will start each day at 2230 UTC (0630 AWST).
 * Games will be archived every ten turns (five years).
 * Please be courteous and polite to other users. Do not engage in shouting or use profane comments. This is known as a flame war. If a flame war occurs all participating parties will be removed from the game and their territories put under mod control until a replacement player signs up. Instead, engage in a polite debate, and ask for a mod to mediate the discussion.

Neubayern
 * ELECTIONS: The 1035 Federal Elections are held. Neubayern sees one of the lowest voter turnouts in Neubayer history, with only 47% of the population coming in to vote, probably in protest against the banning of the National Democratic Neubayer Workers' Party. The results are as follows:
 * DEN: 120/600
 * RVD: 101/600
 * NLP: 89/600
 * GFN: 25/600
 * SPN: 305/600
 * CDU: 39/600
 * VNAP: 11/600
 * Ind: 0/600
 * RESULT: After three terms, the United Neubayer Workers' Party fails to win the election, and once again becomes a minority party. For the first time, the Socialist Party gains a majority in the election. Its leader, Janssen Wilhelm, becomes the 38th Reichsleiter of Neubayern. Meanwhile, DEN leader Masako Akira becomes Leader of the Opposition. No independent politicians were elected this election.

South Orientalia: Technology and science are invested in more. Supreme Chancellor Mitsuyasu Hatoyama continues on with former Chancellor Horikawa Ayuka's plans to improve relations with many nations, including North Orientalia. Meanwhile more wind and solar power is invested in and wind and solar farms continue construction in several locations. Cooperation with North Orientalia to hunt down fleeing wanted Party officials continues and any that are found are deported back to North Orientalia. The government also continues fighting against the South Orientalian Mafia within the nation. The government in cooperation with North Orientalia, continues to prosecute anyone in South Orientalia selling copies of the an illegal film for profit. Construction on the New Seoul 131 in New Seoul, Yazawa Province continues. 5G coverage continues to be looked into and researched.

United Provinces of Colnia: The Colnian Golden Age continues, and President Christiaan Andersen is re-elected for a second term! In honour of his re-election and successful first term, he is awarded the Gelder Peace Prize shortly after his inauguration.

North Orientalia: After multilateral consultation with the occupying powers, Premier Hamish MacBeth proclaims the revolutionary government as the new Rossian government. Three days later, the People's Socialist Republic of Ross is proclaimed, with the seat of government at Dingwall. New Kildary is still the de jure capital, and immediately move there if ever Neubayern will withdraw form the occupation zone. A huge military parade commences in celebration of the birth of the new Rossian republic. However we ask are handing over the disgraced Chief and the governor-general Cole McCoy to us for final disposal.

'''My apologies for my absence. Some personal matters came up and I wasn't able to attend to the game. It shall now resume with renewed vigour! (Hopefully.)'''

During the trial of Governor-General Cole McCoy, who ruled O'Brien on the Chief's behalf during Rossian occupation, it is revealed that McCoy ran an apartheid-like program against the native O'Brien inhabitants.

Neubayern
 * Trial: Chief William Campbell Ross is found guilty of wilful aggression against a sovereign state, but of no other war crimes. Ross is sentenced to 50 years in prison by the judges. Governor-General McCoy is pronounced guilty of crimes against humanity. The Orientalian and O'Brian judges demand that McCoy be executed. However, the Neubayer delegate argues against this, and instead says that McCoy should be deported to the PSR of Ross to face punishment. It is agreed. However, Chief Ross will be incarcerated in a Neubayer maximum security prison.
 * Politics: A massive propaganda campaign begins, initiated by the Socialist government. It is an effort to pacify the Neubayer people and restore peace to the Reich.

United Provinces of Colnia: Shortly after President Christiaan Andersen is re-elected for a second term, he decides that in order to continue the current Golden Age in Colnia, major changes have to occur. Due to this, multiple laws increasing the right to free speech are ratified in this year, and infrastructure in general is improved.

Neubayern
 * Propaganda: 1 (6 - 10 success). The propaganda campaign has as yet proven unsuccessful. Political instability continues to increase, and the frequency of riots also goes up. Foreigners are encouraged to stay away from Neubayern or to exit the country as soon as possible until it becomes safe. Orientalians are especially urged to stay out of Neubayer territory for the time being, and Orientalian immigrants are encouraged to make temporary arrangements to live outside the country.

Meanwhile the first shipment of rare earths arrived in our seaports, as part of Ross's reparations.

Heidelberg is reorganised into the Free State of Heidelberg, while Toyama is split into the three Duchies of Kirschblüte, Toyama and Silverwood (Herzogtum Silberwaldland). Princes Natsuo and Natsume are created the Dukes of Kirschblüte and Toyama respectively, while Prince Franz is finally granted a Duchy of his own in Silverwood, and moves into the newly constructed Schierling Hall with his fiancée Kiera Steiner in the ducal capital of Schierling.

 * 4th place: Prince George College of the Arts Symphony Orchestra of Neubayern
 * 3rd place: New Amsterdam Central High School First Wind Orchestra of Colnia
 * 2nd place: Central Putingrad City Youth Orchestra of Novodonetsk
 * 1st place: Löwenstadt Primary School Symphony Orchestra of Neubayern
 * The Prince George Foundation congratulates all semifinals winners and the 1st place winner, Löwenstadt Primary School. It is the youngest ensemble to have ever performed in the Prince George Cup's international stage, with members ranging from the ages of seven to twelve. That this orchestra won is a huge surprise to the musical world, and thus the school has been thrust into the media spotlight. The Foundation also wishes those who did not make it to the semifinals good luck and encourages them to try again in the next 1042—43 tournament season. Bids are now being accepted for the location of the next tournament.
