Okay, so it's now that time, everybody! As per the above, if you are interested in participating, please list, in order of preference, at least 2 or 3 nations you are potentially interested in controlling. Some information about what your plans are could also be interesting and helpful. Given we are on the verge of starting, a short "rush" of applications is anticipated. I will not make any allocations for a while, in order to give everybody a fair chance to put in their bids. In cases where more than one player are applying for the same nation, I will take into account factors such as the nation or the culture of the nation the players were experienced with in Particracy Classic, and how experienced I know them to be with the kind of RP we are going to be doing here. Please do not be offended if your first preference is not granted, but if you must blame anyone, please blame me - I assure you there are no sinister conspiratorial networks out there determining my decisions etc. On another note, the first draft Guidelines have just been released. You are encouraged to review them and discuss them in the General Discussion part of the forum and/or on Discord. But not here on this thread, please - let's keep this as clear as we can for the control applications. Thank you, and good luck!

Luthori
- I intend on building a quasi-Commonwealth between Keymon, Hutori, New Luthori and Beluzia
- I intend on assisting in RP towards the potential formation of an Artanian Union (if it's still going to be a thing)
- I intend on assisting Keymon in becoming something more than a backwater Hawaiian state.
- I intend on bringing the HLE towards a standard whereby i can say "I have given my all, Luthori is complete."
- I intend on doing some monarchy RP.
- I intend on doing some biological disease RP (creating infectious diseases, you know something out of Outbreak)
- I intend on doing some nuclear weapons development RP (if i am granted permission to)
- I intend on doing some espionage and maybe a kind of Operation Condor in another region.
New Luthori
- I intend on building the nation into a relative power within the region (regional power if i could reach it)
- I intend on championing resource RP (bauxite, coal, ammonia etc.)
Midway - Sweet and Simple:- Power and Revolution. (pan-African RP).

1. North Dovani Anti-Imperialist, nationalist regime. Focused on becoming a power within Dovani & fighting off empires who seek to restore economic dominance of the continent.
2. Aldegar Semi-democratic republic. Business oriented nation, run by various national corporations, political parties, and secret police. Large oil producer.
3. Baltusia Democratic federation. Baltusia is dedicated on dominating North Seleya- militarily, economically, religiously, and culturally.

I’m a simple man and only want to control: 1. Keymon
I intend on doing economic and political RP to make Keymon an economic powerhouse. As of the start of the game, Keymon should be a crown dependency under the direct control of Luthori. This has already been agreed upon by me and Maxington.

I was interested in controlling one country! 1.Dorvik
Back in Particracy Classic, I had a ton of fun runs with friends and alone in Dorvik and did some good RP stories, and I have very fond memories of that. I assume Dorvik will start as a federal republic and possibly a constitutional monarch, but nevertheless, I believe I can make a good story with Dorvik.
Thanks in advance, Tea.

1. Dorvik I'm sure everyone is surprised by my request for Dorvik, but underneath my tenure (and severals others such as Aquinas himself...Catholic Political Union if I remember correctly! Gracchus and others such as Pragma, Masion and some others who names escape me!) in PT Classic as Dorvik, I built Dorvik from a nothing into a world leading power. I intend wholly on continuing the trend of a constitutional monarchy within Dorvik and firmly placing as a power within Artania. I believe that the Artanian Union could function a little bit better underneath the current RP-forum system versus the PT system and I look forward to building a regional, active power with other players on Artania. Dorvik provides a wide variety of regional differences for domestic issues that can be RP'd effectively and fun. I look forward to building some old-school large royal families and noble families across Terra a la International Monarchist League and doing some pro-monarchy RP versus the rather "typical" republic, federal republic, parliamentary system.
Naturally, Dorvik will likely continue its pragmatic approach to foreign affairs and domestic affairs. I liken the Dorvish landscape to a more conservative, nationalist landscape versus the ever so popular communist and socialist landscape that seemed to pop up over time, especially as of lately within the time-scale of recent PT Classic. I'm genuinely eager to help create RP events, ranging from economic to social, both domestic and foreign. Several times myself and others hosted world events in Dorvik, we founded Gath Defense Collective which served as an IC and OOC source for information regarding a variety of topics, Dorvik was involved in several large movements in Artania and generally, underneath my tenure, would be active and flourishing versus occasional posts and likely cause some friction with the Holy Luthori Empire as one of the potential powers in Artania. I've been fortunate to have some conversations with players who will potentially secure Artanian nations or are interested in securing Artanian nations about potential cooperation on Artanian issues and other more nefarious purposes.
Aside from that I genuinely plan on playing an active role in international affairs, peace-keeping and ensuring that Dorvik continues to be an active force within the world overall. From my variety of extensive RPs, usually daily posts and generally active nature in Dorvik, I believe that above anything else that Dorvik could be a very interesting country. One of my goals would be the establishment of a sort of Bank of International Settlements (the central banks of central banks) which I created as the International Development and Stability Bank in Dorvik, focus on building an Artanian Development Bank, an Artanian Central Bank if the Artanian Union is able to gain traction. I would like to be able to build a peacekeeping force via the World Congress that can roleplay some exciting events perhaps in the "Third World" of the game and cooperating with players there to build some tension and keep things interesting.
Naturally as the military guy that I am, I look forward to some nice military based RP, building some nice bases overseas and generally having fun conducting the military diplomacy that Dorvik was so know for! I think with the metaphorical "golden ticket" in Dorvik, it can be a really exciting time for some country to country cooperative RP and some great story telling alongside players such as Max and Mike! Perhaps a restoration of the Dundorfian Reich if there is enough interest!
Aside form Dorvik, which is my primary choice I would be interested in Dundorf (potentially) and perhaps another country or so if my primary request is denied for some reason. I'd also offer my assistance in playing some of the "Third World" countries in addition to my primary country.

I am also a simple man.
1) Kalistan
I plan on restoring ethical socialism and Brethrenisn as guiding principles of the national consciousness.
Kalistan will return to its status as a ultranationalist amalgamation of great cultural influence, exporter of music and intoxicants, social libertarian, economic mixed economy, politically single party dominant.
I might be interested in a restoration angle of the old Imperial titles. Either way, I aim to return Kalistan to its traditions role of balance to other regional powers’ global hegemonic plans, and the leader of a general non aligned movement in the world.
Also. If lourenne is to be reduced to 3rd world status, I believe Kalistan ought to colonize the place. Those two countries should have always been far closer than they ended up being, and I believe that Lourenne should become Districts 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 under Anantonese administration. If I am allowed to do that, I certainly will restore the empire circa Pentalarc.

1. Kundratia/Kundratien (Tela/Swedish)/Kundrati (Sullestian/Finnish)- Federal Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy
- I'll rp this country as if Finland was still part of Sweden, and thus incorporate Swedish and Finnish characteristics when it comes to culture, languages and other heritage, alongside unique twists on it all; perhaps it could turn out to be a tax haven like Switzerland for instance? Perhaps the social democratic party lost its position as the most dominant political force to Hosian democrats? The possibilities are endless. One of the outlining goals is that historically I'd envision it to have been a significant power in Artania (like rl Swedish Empire) and a former colonial hegemony (Maybe existing albeit through a commonwealth), so I would be willing to work with others who feel that they may have a shared history with Kundratia, in one way or the other. In modern times, the country would be more known as a international humanitarian power, an influential founder of organisations such as a possible Artanian Union and such.
- Hosting events of international character is definitely on the list, which would include something similar to the Nobel Prizes, Polar Music Awards etc.
- I as the player happen to be rl Swedish and living in Sweden, and JustSomeDude (who happens to be of same nationality) has expressed interest in running the country together. Whether this is an important criteria to consider or not, It would feel more authentic of course if the player himself knew what type of Culture he's dealing with and having a first-hand experience of it. I also have access to Shekel, in case there are Finnish translation issues at hand.
- If the first choice isn't possible, Ikradon would be my 2nd nation of choice.

1. Darnussia
I'm terribly sorry, but I've absolutely no experience of other nations. My entire eleven-year (albeit non-consecutive) tenure in PT and its spin-offs has taken place solely within Darnussia, so I'd be a bit lost outside of that bubble. I'd be willing to give other nations a try though, although Darnussia obviously remains by beloved first choice.
I think I'd be an accommodating player for Darnussia; I'm not planning on global domination, or grand international politics. I'm hoping to RP as a relatively poor south Artanian nation in-which ethnic tensions slowly bubble up over a long period.
If I do end up in a war, I'm not overly against being invaded or defeated at certain times. Darnussia and I certainly have no illusions of grandeur.

Making Kizenia a world superpower post by post

Post by botangabriel on May 1, 2019 10:56:02 GMT
Kizenia
I want Kizenia as I am Romanian myself and I believe it would fit best for my RP knowledge, as I could RP better knowing that culture I am in.
I want to make a strong Kizenian state based on liberal monarchy that will try prosper and fight corruption and decay, RPing from the start a poor. corrupt and developing state, as game progresses I just want to make my nation strong speaking of economy ,army and internationally, I do not plan to invade or something, but I do not mind having strong influence through strong economy and military, organizing around the idea that conquering is unecessary for world domination, aside from that i want to have fun RPing together with other players.
Thank you!

Vanuku
In 2011 I came to Particracy Classic and ventured into Dorvik, a few months later I went to Vanuku. At first I continued the Dutch but later on I felt more and more intrigued by the unique Jelbic culture. The years after I transformed Vanuku into a Jelbo-Dutch monarchy with a well-developed economy and culture. I've always tried to RP it a bit as the "bad guy" nation like the way Russia and China sometimes fuck around a bit with Western interests.
Most of the time spent on that I was alone, the last year or so I have been joined by Sisyphus who has continued the general trend of my "creation". Though I'd like to RP alone for the time being.
My plans are a semi-dictatorial monarchy that sometimes meddles in the affairs of other great powers to undermine them. Definitely continuing the whole "defender of sovereignty" skit I did on PT for a few years.

I plan on RPing some revolutions/coups/similar, and I find these nations good to RP this with.

1. Trigunia Some sort of radical socialism, probably spreading the ideology, competition with other great powers for influence on the world stage 2. Dolgava Left nationalist, anti-imperialist republic attempting to build up strength, both economic and military 3. Egelion Socialist but Menshevik, a federation, economic build up, dominant party but a democracy in the modern western sense

I would like Cildania, because I am trying to revive them on Particracy currently. Cildania is an Anocratic Democracy. It’s really proud of its past, and, on some level, seeks to emulate the glories of the Qedarite Empire. Economy is trade based. Due to Cildania being an island, the armed forces are almost entirely naval. I would probably try to form a “Neutral Majatra” to act as a counter to Selucia and Vanuku.

Thank you everybody for your interest. The allocations are as follows... ARTANIA Darnussia & Narikaton - Mike Dorvik - Farsun Dundorf - dannypk Kundrati - theyoungpope Luthori - maxington DOVANI North Dovani - dominus Sekowo - Basileus KERIS Kizenia - botangabriel Trigunia - comradeotaku MAJATRA Cildania - enderprophet Vanuku - kubrick SELEYA Kalistan - doc Keymon - yolo4 Mordusia - luis VASCANIA Kalkalistan - Aquinas lordoftea : I am sorry you did not get Dorvik, but I assure you this is no personal reflection on you. In Classic, Farsun has RPed in Dorvik on and off for perhaps the last decade, so he was always going to get it if he applied for it. I hope you will apply for one of the other nations. @everyone The Guidelines have been modified slightly since they were first published. Please note the following changes: - Section (2a) clarifies that for the time being, RP will not include "nuclear weapons, aircraft carriers, space-based weapons and other really advanced military items".
- Section (4) provides some information about players RPing in the same nation together.
- Section (7d) clarifies issues surrounding character control.
- Section (9) now includes guidance about the time-scale for radical political transitions.
You are encouraged to discuss the Guidelines in General Discussion and/or on Discord. Once you have familiarised yourself with the Guidelines and are reasonably confident you know what you are doing, please feel free to commence posting in the RP section of the forum. Those who have not yet applied for nations are warmly encouraged to do so, if they so wish. It is likely we will later move to stage where some players are able to control more than one nation at a time. Now get posting, and enjoy!

Beluzia: Just interested in Irish culture Apologies for the inevitable confusion which has arisen over the last week or so, with cultural map proposals changing all the time... As things stand now (see Nations of Terra and their cultures), Egelion is Georgian. Mordusa is "European Spanish", but that is currently controlled by someone else. I've provisionally allocated you Selucia, although let me know if, for example, you are interested in switching to Sardian, which is "Andalusian/Moorish Spain".
