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!
• One 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 when a new decade begins.
• 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.

Maps

• Only moderators may modify the map. If you feel there are any errors in the map, please notify us in the section below.
• Black indicates non-player nations (NPNs). They are under direct mod control, just like a city-state in Sid Meier's Civilization is under PC control. Grey represents land that is unoccupied by an organised government, though it does not necessarily indicate the land is devoid of human life.

Tensions have built for centuries across the world. War becomes ever more likely as militaries begin to mobilise...

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

Neubayerische Reich — Mil/infra turn

• Military: The Reich continues to expand her military.
  • Navy: Our navy, the Kriegsmarine, currently stands at 15 aircraft carriers, 80 destroyers, 30 cruisers, 10 frigates, 48 attack submarines, 28 missile submarines, 10 amphibious assault ships and 4 amphibious command ships. 2,780 aircraft serve the Kriegsmarine. The current flagship of the Kriegsmarine is the KMS München of the 2nd Fleet.
  • Army: The Kriegsheer currently has 360,920 active personnel, with a further 540,300 in reserve. The Army also possesses around 3,500 aircraft.
  • Air Force: The Luftwaffe has around 6,300 aircraft in its service, with 303,900 active personnel. The Luftwaffe also possesses 100 ICBMs and 80 satellites.
• Infrastructure: We continue to expand our road networks in order to alleviate congestion. Also, we begin encouraging the usage of public transport such as trains and buses. We therefore begin the expansion of the national railway.

Britannian Empire: George XII dies in his sleep. His eldest son, Lelouch, succeeds him. His first order of business is to construct a new capital with the name of Albion. The Britannian empire conducts research on robotics and nanotechnology, seeing the massive potential they could bring to everyday life, particularly the military and industry sectors of the Empire. The military of Britannia continues to be expanded as Emperor Lelouch reintroduces conscription. The manufacturing of much more advanced weapons, particularly the Iris-class battlefield companion, a helmet armed with the logistical capabilities of an entire command center, and the Gaudraught next-gen assault rifles. The Imperial Air Force sees the largest expansion, seeing as Britannia's strategic location in the middle of Sebastiana as a feasible location to launch air raids across the entire continent. 80% of aircraft for the air force is capable of vertical takeoff, while bombers are armed with more explosive payloads guided by laser technology. The Imperial Navy constructs its first aircraft carrier, the HMS Britannia, capable of fielding 90 aircraft and 4 submarines. More smaller navy vessels, such as destroyers and Missile cruisers are built. With the massive amount of government spending in the military, this causes an economic boom as more and more jobs are made with the increasing demand for manufacturing goods are met. To complement Britannia's growing population, more and more farm collectives, pastures, and plantations are built (Mil/Eco/Tech)

Borealis: The Grand Empire of Borealis expands it's military, industry and economy. With a miltary standing at 800,000 men, the nation of Borealis seeks to establish military hegemony over the continent. Industry is rapidly developed, with the creation of new industrial centers in the southwestern "America" region of the nation. more later.

Democratic Socialist Republic of North Orientalia: The current leader, Saikō Genshu, convokes the 6th Party Congress, inaugurating an era of progress through economic reforms. Industry and agriculture are given more emphasis. A mass conscription program is introduced. Collectivization of farms begin. He also made a speech on how his ancestor (great grandfather), the founding leader Saikō Hamada, led the revolt against the Monarchy.

Alliance to Restore Democracy to Terra Alba: With the knowledge that they are a small country surrounded by a greater empire with goals completely opposite to them, the small states unite to improve their economy and infastructure and technology to act as a beacon to try and attract support from members inside the Holy Empire. Envoys are sent to the Emperor himself to try and relax him and let him understand how the Alliance has no wish for a war that would merely lower his support from his people.

• RNG: 4. (6 — 10, Emperor relaxes) The Emperor is not impressed and continues to mobilise for a war to put down what he sees as a rebellion against the Holy Empire.

Commonwealth of West Borealis: Military buildup and economic expansion begin. We begin to invest on advanced technologies, and begin investing on creating a new orbital space station known as the StarLab II, the first station: StarLab I being constructed around the late 9th century AF. This station, StarLab III is to be constructed in orbit around Novasol III, which is the main planet that Novasol III B orbits, and we begin to comission plans to explore other moons of Novasol, such as Novasol III A, and Novasol III G, and Novasol II. These locations serve as potential interest for future colonies, However, these colonies are expected to be established around the 1012, and will not be fully operational for a few centuries, while StarLab II is expected to be useful for research of Novasol III and refueling potential future missions elsewhere into the Novasol System. Meanwhile, we begin the process of equipping our military with advanced robotics, and even go as far as a cybernetic soldier program. As the situation on Novasol III B begins to become problematic, our forces begin building up for potential conflict, and we increase our nuclear weapons count from 230 to 260. 

• Do note: I am merely posting this due to the fact that Wiki left very ambiguous information in regards to what we can and cannot do in terms of our tiers. 
• MOD: Sorry mate for being so ambiguous, but right now West Borealis doesn't have the technological prowess to establish space stations. No one does. I've decided that Tier 0.5 can be achieved. A nation will therefore need to be at Tier 0.5 for at least technology and another category before they can be allowed to establish extraterrestrial colonies.

Roman Empire: We try to advance in everything, but we don't go too fast. We also improve our military.

Clan of Ross: With many of the population of the nation starting feel that the death of our great Chief William Campbell Ross is imminent, we start preparing for his death. We also improve our economy and infrastructure.

990.5

Tensions between the Holy Empire and the Alliance continue to rise dangerously. Nations around the world prepare for the probable outbreak of war between the two Alban countries.

Archaeologists discover a strange-looking object. It appears to be the arm of an old robot. The discovery stirs a media frenzy. The archaeologists continue their search, to find the rest of the robot.

Neubayerische Reich — Mil/eco turn

• Military: The Kriegswehr continues to expand and mobilise.
  • Kriegsmarine: The number of servicemen in the navy increases to 310,523. It is now the second-largest division of the Kriegswehr after the Kriegsheer. We order four of a new class of aircraft carrier. We are calling it the Franz Josef Dietrich class, named after one of the Reich's founding fathers. It is to be the most advanced Bayerisch-built naval vessel to date.
  • Luftwaffe: The Luftwaffe orders 50 new aircraft to serve the 8th Air Wing.
• Economy: We ask for trade routes between Neubayern and Britannia in order to further improve our economy.

Union of Novodonetsk: Mil and eco. Sergei Pavyluchenko is president of the Union. Novodonetsk requests an alliance with the New Roman Republic. The 9 republics of the Union gather for the annual Council Meeting. They agree to military buildup in each of the republics, and every republic raises a military for defensive purposes. Trade is offered to the Hudson Republic(MOD RESPONSE), the Zarinthians, Neubayern and Colnia. We begin creating a new rail network, through all of the republics. It is expected to be finished in 993. 

• RNG: 10. (6 - 10 accepts) The Hudson Republic agrees to the offer of a trade agreement between the two countries.

'Britannian Empire: Albion, the new capital, continues to be constrcuted by the orders of Emperor Lelouch. We also agree to the proposal of Neubayern regarding the establishment of trade routes. 'An expansionist desire flares up in the Britannian populace as the Empire, with the Bayyanid Caliphate being eyed as a prime target for annexation. We station our navy near the border and build airfields in the southern Areas (states) of Ivalice and Stark. The emperor, wishing to increase the importance of the Britannian economy in Novasol III, issues a series of economic reforms aimed to stimulate rapid growth. Technological research continues to keep Britannia on par with much more modern nations. More funding is given to the medical, biotechnology, nanotechnology, and robotic sectors. The construction of the Imperial Universities of Starkskshire, Albion, and  Eire are expected to yield brilliant minds. A breakthrough in cancer treatment is made by a team of scientists. They have successfully managed to suppress the growth of cancer cells in a human body using nanobots. This has earned them titles of nobility in the Empire. The military sees more modernization as soldiers with amputuated limbs can return to duty armed with a weaponized prosthetic arm or leg. The Iris is fully integrated into every Army soldiers while the Gaudraught becomes becomes the standard firearm. The Britannian Air Force, currently holding 65% of all military budget, puts it into good use as the F-30 Burstfire, a jet capable of staying in the air for hours at a time is launched. The B-23 Iron Hail bomber aircraft, the signature bomber of Britannia, heavily improves as carbon nanotubes are used to plate the aircraft, making it significantly durable, but more lightweight compared to aircraft of its class. A drone division of the air force is started, with plans to make surveillance drones as small as flies to be used in espionage missions. An experimental airship, the HMS Sebastiana, acting as a mobile center of command and possibly a floating aircraft carrier, begins testing. The Britannian Navy, currently housing 6 carriers and thousands of smaller craft, also begins replacing their plating with carbon nanotubes while a Electromagnetic Rail Gun, codenamed: LoRaMBo (Long-Ranged Magnetic Bombardment) is currently in the works. Project Nightmare, a nuclear weapons project,is also authorized, and a site is built in an undisclosed location.(Mil/eco/tech turn) We deploy agents into the Bayyanid Caliphate to assasinate the Caliph, and the next in line (Not familiar with who leads them) to plunge the country into chaos (MOD Response). Britannia also begins exerting her influence on the Havenstown Economic Co-operative zone, wishing a union of the two countries (is Havenstown a country?). Nevertheless, we attempt to inflitrate their government and place pro-Britannian leaders in an attempt to establish a puppet government. (Mod Response)

• RNG: (Bayyania) 4 (6 - 10 success) The assassin is caught attempting to kill the Caliph and his young son. He is arrested and tortured.
  • RNG: (Torture) 7 (6 - 10 success). The agent confesses that he was sent by the Britannians to kill the Caliph. The Caliphate is enraged and relations between Britannia and Bayyania begin to sour. Attacks on the Britannian embassy force the ambassador and his staff to flee. Those that were caught during the escape are lynched by the Bayyanid populace. The agent is publicly executed.
• RNG: (Havenstown) 1 (6 - 10 success) While entering Havenstown it is noticed that the Britannian agents' visas were falsified. They are detained for illegal immigration.
  • COMMENT: Yes, Havenstown Economic Coop Zone is a country. It is just named after the capital, Havenstown.

Alliance to Restore Democracy to Terra Alba: The Emperors mobilisation of the Holy Empire's military forces worries the Alliance. They know that fighting will be futile and have a military strength which is hardly powerful enough to fight back so instead look outside the continent of Terra Alba for aid. They send envoys to the Borelaian Empire, West Borealis and the Kingdom of Liberty for aid in the war to come (MOD RESPONSE FOR LIBERTY). We still believe this must have a peaceful outcome for an army forcing democracy onto its people is not what the alliance wishes nor believes will have the long term results they desire showing that strength would win above all. Instead their envoys aim for brinkmanship to the point that the Emperor will dare not attack. We pour money into the military to create a back up system for a swift evacuation of the people if cities are attacked whilst the economy and industry is expanded further to attempt to show the Emperor how much benefits we can help if he allows us our peace.

(Do we have WMD btw, is that a possible weapon we can manufacture?)

Roman Empire: We try to advance in everything, but we don't go too fast. We also improve our military. We also try to improve relations with other countries.
