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.

'''With the Republic of O'Brien's collapse and the Clan Ross' recent massive expansion, Terra Rossa has become increasingly volatile. Where before there were tax riots in the streets of New Dublin, protests against the occupation forces from Ross unite the population of O'Brien. However, these riots are often violently put down by the Rossian military. Many die in the next few months, both Rossian and O'Brian.'''

MOD (Rossian State Media): The Supreme Court of Ross, presided over by His Majesty the Chief, charges the traitorous Mountain Rebellion leaders after having them rounded up and returned to Ross proper with High Treason. Out of the fifty put on trial, forty-five are found guilty and thirty are sentenced to death. The executions are carried out swiftly in front of a rejoicing populace. O'Brianers have never been happier as they have been reunited with the most glorious motherland Ross. The horror of the O'Brian Empire has finally been ended.

Neubayern
 * Diplomacy: We denounce the Clan of Ross for unfairly trying the Mountain Rebellion leaders and for their clearly inaccurate slant on events in their state media. Many news outlets, including the Reich Broadcasting Corporation, declare that Ross is a ruthless and heartless dictatorship. Relations sour further between Ross and the Reich. We withdraw our diplomatic staff from Ross and declare our support for the O'Brian government-in-exile.
 * Secret: We begin planning for a liberation war against Ross, with the assistance of the O'Brian government-in-exile. The Kriegswehr begins to mobilise for the first time in years. Recruitment efforts are again redoubled.

South Orientalia: Technology and science are invested in more. The Yazawa, Karafuto, Himekaidou, and Taoyuan Provinces reconstruction and rebuilding are finished. 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. In New Seoul, Yazawa Province, a new tall building is planned and is named the New Seoul 131. It's planned to have 131 floors (with six below ground).

MOD: Horror in Novodonetsk! The Tsar in May this year was shot three times in the chest by an unknown assailant who is believed to have since fled the country. It is unknown whether the Tsar will survive. North Orientalia: Following the Rossian discovery of the Arata-Binney pact, tensions between New Kildary and Port Sadako reaches the boiling point. On March 20, 28 Rossian fishing vessels were seized by a Mabudan destroyer near Wetulu Island on orders from the naval attache in Mutero, adding fuel to the fire. The next day Rossian investment assets in were declared frozen, so is ours there. The following week the 65 year-old General Secretary Saiko Orochi sends a telegram to the Neubaryerisch government saying "that Ross is a spoiled child. We must do immediate action to mitigate the situation." '''SECRET: We continue funding and giving arms, and training to the Ross People's Liberation Army, now 50,000 strong. We begin our gerilla operations in the Killeny Mountains, harassing military installments, vehicles, etc.''' Meanwhile, the grand old general Franz Jaeger kicked the bucket from heart complications at the age of 72. He was well-remembered for the Mabuda campaign, and hunting down the conspirators of the Kyrie Eleison plot.
 * RNG: 5. (6 — 10 = survival) The Tsar tragically passes from his wounds just days after hospitalisation. The country is in mourning for the loss of their King after only six and a half years on the throne. His brother, Prince Demetrius, is equally shocked. It is announced that, as Tsar Roman had no children, Demetrius is destined to become the new King.
 * Neubayerisch dip: The Reich Government expresses our deepest condolences to the Realm for their loss.
 * ALL NATIONS PLEASE NAME YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AT ROMAN'S FUNERAL AND DEMETRIUS' CORONATION.
 * Neubayern: Kaiserin Helena, Tsar-designate Demetrius, and their children. Prince August and Princess Victoria also attend.
 * South Orientalia: Empress Maki Kosaka and Supreme Chancellor Mitsuyasu Hatoyama attends the funeral and the coronation.

1030.5
'''Prince Demetrius is crowned Tsar Demetrius I of Novodonetsk. Neubayern and Novodonetsk are now closer than ever, and the Reich begins to assert more influence over the Realm.'''



Neubayern United Provinces of Colnia:  After an extremely close national election, the new President is outspoken Social-Liberal Christiaan Andersen. Shortly after he is inaugurated, a supreme court case arises in terms of legalising gay marriage. The case is still being decided, but the President & Prime Minister quickly intervened and announced their support for the LGBT community shortly after the case was announced. We also declare war on Clan Ross along with Neubayern, and we commence Operation Icarus, in which we send 25 bombers and 10 planes filled with 400 paratroopers to the northern coast of Ross.
 * WAR!: The Reich Government issues a communique to the Rossian government that a state of war now exists between the Reich and Clan Ross. We immediately launch Operation Lionheart (Löweherz). We call for support from North Orientalia and from the people of O'Brien. Air raids begin on Rossian military installations in O'Brien, as well as major cities and population centres in Ross proper. The Reichsleiter orders nuclear weapons to stand by, and the Reich's Teidstand Level (Neubayerisch equivalent to DEFCON, full: Verteidigungszustand) is raised to Teidstand 3. As Ross is not a nuclear weapons state, there is no need to be concerned about MAD. 300,000 soldiers from the Kriegsheer pour across the Treinhoff border into Occupied O'Brien and begin to liberate towns and cities. The Kriegsmarine begins engaging Rossian naval assets.

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. Plans to build the New Seoul 131 in New Seoul, Yazawa Province continue and are soon finalised by the last week on the last month of this year. Construction on it will begin next year.

'''North Orientalia: SECRET: We send Colonel Colman McShane, who defected to us after the fall of New Dublin to Rossian hands and joined the Ross Socialist Front. He is assigned to gather a fighting force, mostly consisting of adolescents more than 15 years of age, to fight Rossian troops there. He also reoganizes what reamains of his soldiers under his command to the new force.''' Meanwhile, tensions with Ross has reached to a showdown. We begin to air propaganda broadcasts from Mabuda to intimidate morale. The navy also begins to scuffle with Rossian naval assets. We commence Operation Blood Tiger in which we begin to carpet bomb Rossian strongholds and some major cities in O'Brien. Meanwhile the Ross People's Liberation Army becomes bolder in its guerilla operations, having the hold over most of the Killeny Mountains. We also begin to intenisfy trade with Neubayern and Colnia, exporting mostly fruit, phosphate, cement, and rare-earth elements, improving the economy. More factories are also built, improving industry 0.5. Agricultural harvest also begins to spike up, especially on rice, grape, potato, sugarcane, and carrot.
 * Neubayern: We urge North Orientalia to cease their air raids on O'Brian cities, as our war is not with the O'Brianers, especially not the civilians.
 * North Orientalia Dip: Our air raids are targeted against Rossian military installations in O'Brien cities, and we make sure the utmost care not to hurt O'Brien civilian and military assets. Colman_McShane_story_chart_(New_World_Map_Game).png

1031
The O'Brian Liberation War (or Traitorous War according to the Rossians) continues.

Neubayern
 * OLW: The Kriegstag begins debating over whether nuclear weapons should be deployed to Rossian targets. Meanwhile, our military has broken records, with our Heer reaching a record 900,000 soldiers. This is attributed to a population boom several years ago.
 * Prince George Foundation: Youth orchestras across the country prepare for the Prince George Memorial National Tournament for Youth Orchestras next year, run by the main branch of the PGS. The Top 5 orchestras as decided upon by an international panel of adjudicators will move forward to the international championships in Munich 1033. Also, the Georg-Wilhelm-Anton-Friedrich Stadium is now complete!

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. Construction on the New Seoul 131 in New Seoul, Yazawa Province begins.
 * Prince George Foundation: We invite all Orientalian youth orchestras to participate in the Prince George Memorial National Tournament for Youth Orchestras next year, run by the Orientalian national chapter of the Prince George Foundation. The Top 5 orchestras as decided upon by an international panel of adjudicators will move forward to the international championships in Munich in 1033.
 * South Orientalia Diplomacy: Accepts Neubayern's offer.

United Provinces of Colnia: After many months of extremely difficult decision-making, the Supreme Court has ruled that gay marriage is legal and abides to the Colnian Constitution! The President calls for a "Day of Gay Pride" in the capital, and multiple gay pride parades & festivals are held in the downtown area just hours after the decision was publicly announced. After the celebrations die down, the President begins to focus on more challenging issues. '''We begin to invest in better military technology, and we request to establish multiple research agreements with Neubayern. The economy also begins to slightly improve after more railroads & general infrastructure are built around major metropolitan areas.''' North Orientalia: We begin to air propaganda broadcasts from Mabuda to intimidate morale. The navy also begins to scuffle with Rossian naval assets. We commence Operation Blood Tiger in which we begin to carpet bomb Rossian strongholds and some major cities in O'Brien. Meanwhile the Ross People's Liberation Army becomes bolder in its guerilla operations, having the hold over most of the Killeny Mountains. Colonel McShane's army, the 105th O'Brien Revolutionary Corps, now has a considerable foothold in the south. We also begin a naval bombardment on Rossian coastal towns  We also begin to intenisfy trade with Neubayern and Colnia, exporting mostly fruit, phosphate, cement, and rare-earth elements, improving the economy. More factories are also built, improving industry 0.5. Agricultural harvest also begins to spike up, especially on rice, grape, potato, sugarcane, and carrot.
 * Neubayernisch dip: We agree to establish research agreements with Colnia, and invite all Colnian youth orchestras to participate in the Prince George Memorial National Tournament for Youth Orchestras next year, run by the Colnian national chapter of the Prince George Foundation. The Top 5 orchestras as decided upon by an international panel of adjudicators will move forward to the international championships in Munich in 1033.
 * Colnian dip: We happily accept Neubayern's offer. Our President & Prime Minister will certainly attend this great event!

1031.5
Neubayern United Provinces of Colnia: We continue our war with Clan Ross and Operation Icarus is still in motion. '''In terms of internal affairs, the economy continues to slowly improve and with the flourishing economy, more modern infrastructure is built in and around our most populated metropolitan areas. We also offer trade agreements with Zarinthia (MOD RESPONSE, PLEASE) and the Darian Federation (MOD RESPONSE AS WELL). '''
 * Umstrukturierung: Restructuring of the Rotinsel colonial government is complete, and the Imperial Colony is officially dissolved, elevated to Free State status, becoming the Free State of Rotinsel (Freistaat Rotinsel). The President of Rotinsel, Dafydd ap Enwilyn, is appointed the provisional Staatsleiter pending a State election.



North Orientalia:  We begin to air propaganda broadcasts from Mabuda to intimidate morale. The navy also begins to scuffle with Rossian naval assets. We commence Operation Blood Tiger in which we begin to carpet bomb Rossian strongholds and some major cities in O'Brien. Meanwhile the Ross People's Liberation Army becomes bolder in its guerilla operations, having the hold over most of the Killeny Mountains. Colonel McShane's army, the 105th O'Brien Revolutionary Corps, now has a considerable foothold in the south. We also begin a naval bombardment on Rossian coastal towns, as well as a blockade, to starve Ross into surrender. We also begin to intenisfy trade with Neubayern and Colnia, exporting mostly fruit, phosphate, cement, and rare-earth elements, improving the economy. We now put our nuclear warheads on high alert, awaiting orders to launch. More factories are also built, improving industry 0.5. Agricultural harvest also begins to spike up, especially on rice, grape, potato, sugarcane, and carrot. We also send some diplomatic attaches to the Borealian Empire to ask a right of way for our troops to advance into Ross. (MOD Response)
 * RNG: 4 (6 - 10 success). The Borealian Empire refuses entry to North Orientalian troops, as they do not wish to be involved in a war that does not benefit them directly. The border with Mabuda is strengthened with more troops to ensure that North Orientalian soldiers do not illegally enter the country.

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.

Neubayern
 * Liberation War: We have occupied approximately 30% of Rossian territory, and continue our march towards New Kildary. We increase the pace as more soldiers land on the shores of our occupation zone. Paratroopers also land throughout the occupied territories. It is estimated that the first Neubayerisch soldiers will reach New Kildary in six months.

South Orientalia: Technology and science are invested in more.

North Orientalia: After his retirement, former supreme leader Saiko Genshu arrives in Neuybayern as a VIP spectator in the Prince George Memorial International Tournament for Youth and Children's Orchestras, and once again meets Prince August. '''Meanwhile something horrendous is circulating the Web: a sex video involving the current leader Saiko Takashi. Most of the intelligence community believes that the Rossian secret service had put together a pornographic film starring a look-alike in bed with a blonde playing a Neubayerisch model. The humiliation caused by circulating the film was supposed to drive Takashi from office and poison relations with Neubayern. '''We start to track down where the video is uploaded, and is taken down from our servers. As a response to the video, we commence Operation Cyclone Bunny, whose objective is to overtly help the Ross PLA guerillas, now harassing New Kildary.
 * Ross Socialist Front/PLA: We now occupy 70% of Rossian territory, and following the North Orientalian invasion, we now shift up to overt conventional warfare, especially on urban areas. We also now begin an artillery bombardment of New Kildary.
 * Mabuda: In response to Operation Cyclone Bunny, we also send an armoured regiment led by General der Panzertruppen Akuma Ojobe.  Meanwhile, tragedy strikes the country. The founding leader President Edward Mbudu passed away from a stroke at the age of 102. A state funeral has been organized. We also invite world leaders to the funeral.
 * O'Brien rebels: Colonel McShane's army, the 105th O'Brien Revolutionary Corps, now has a considerable foothold in the south. We now reach the outer rim of the capital New Dublin. A pincer movement is now planned.
