Yeah, I guess since this is an alternate reality too, it builds off of the status since 1880, I was just thinking where these nations were at during WWI
That'd be European Hegemony with America, Russia and Japan rising. At the same time, Russia, despite the tooting of our democratic horns, is decidedly not a superpower. Britain, France, Spain, Germany and maybe Austria-Hungary would be the only ones I'd classify as such. The NAU and Russia are major powers, though. Japan's kinda alongside Persia or Australia.
I can help stretch Russia's reach once Prussia makes a deal with them (and if you accept). It'll help us both. Then I turn around and make a similar deal with Spain.

Win-wins, win-wins everywhere.
[whisper] "Prussia's in bed with Spain..." [/whisper]
But seriously, that would be a bad idea until we have more people. The three most powerful nations allied? Mmm...
It's only a temporary alliance purely for benefit.
If anything, I'd like to make an alliance with Japan for their help in kicking China out of Mongolia and either absorbing it or establishing a Russian-sympathetic government. I can make some kind of North Pacific Treaty Organization (probably bring in the NAU, too...)
I wonder what exactly alliances would be official for us, pre-RP? I think the German Empire would probably be allied with Austria-Hungary and possibly even possess strong ties with Spain, being Clanker. Russia probably has peace accords with Sweden and the Ottomans...
If you want, I still have the list I made for bloody politics with the ideas of alliances and whatnot, if you want me to share so you can see if you like those. XD

Sure.
The funny thing is that IRL in 1900, the Russian Empire controlled Ukraine, Belarus and vast portions of Poland, and on the map their borders have mysteriously receded. I don't care, however... I'll probably take it back anyway.
Basically all of Africa is united against the Europeans. Once they are driven out, chances are the african states will enter a war over who gets the territories owned by the Europeans.
Jerusalem is allies with the MU, and constantly is at war with Either Persia or Arabia. Has very bad relations with Egypt, but thanks to the European threat, Egypt is no longer focusing on them.
Denmark and Sweden have a small alliance, and have their eyes set on the Baltic Union, though they fear an attack from Prussia is certain, seeing as they have been expanding their empire, and recently took over Poland completely.
Russia and China hate each other. Both constantly ask for Japans help, but Japan doesn't want to get tangled up in their business.
Should Japan ever side with one or the other, it would tip the scale in favor of Japans ally.
Arabia and Persia are at war constantly, as they both want to take over Jerusalem.
The Ottomans are friends with the Romanian Union, but they have not set up an alliance as of yet.
Austria-Hungary has an agreement with Prussia, that they will not meddle in each others affairs, but they also will not ally with each other or attack each other. This was caused by Prussia taking Poland, who was Austrias ally.
Spain, France, England, and Prussia all have a strange friendship. They have trade agreements set up, and ocassionally will aid each other, but all dislike one another over land they want in the West.
The NAU is friendly with Spain and France, but does not like Britain or Russia. They trade with Prussia.
France and the MU are allied.

These were basically the things I figured most-important from my old list. Obviously, they would need to be tweaked a bit for this RP, but... This is generally what I had set up for BP. I cut out some minor things, and most trade agreements.
Leader Info: Ronald Alexander Grey was born June 3rd, 1870, and grew up in middle class family in Eastern North America. He was always interested in politics. He would constantly ridicule or praise decisions made by his nation's leaders. When he grew up he became mayor of a small town on the Eastern Coast. From there he advanced to the position of Govenor, and eventually after moving up the chain, to President of the NAU. He is about 5'10". He has brown eyes and brown hair. He likes fish alot and scuba dives often. He enjoys listening to music.
(I will probably make a character sheet for him later.)
Country/Organization Technology Style: Niether, but slightly on the clanker side.
Country/Organization History since the 1880's:
1880- The NAU pulls out of a depression that had been effecting them for the past 20 years.
1882- The NAU begins manufacturing clanker like devices, causing them to become more like a clanker country.
1885- A strange bacteria mutation spreads across America, infecating many people.
1886- It is discovered that the bacteria was purposly made by a man named Paul Hendricks.
He is arrested and put in jail. He remains in jail to this day.
1890- A small group of people called The Pure start a rebellion against the NAU government. They felt that the country was going downhill and needed new leadership.
1893- A special type of missile is developed. It can fly faster and farther, and packs a bigger punch. ( It is a ground missile but is later adapted for use with aircraft in 1910, when aircraft become more sophisticated.)
1895- The rebellion is put down. The true reason behind the rebellion is discovered. The rebel leaders were communist supporters who wanted to take controll of the Americas and forge an empire. It is also discovered that Paul Hendricks had connections with the organization and made the virus for them. The virus was released before the rebellion was ready so they could not strike in time. If they had struck in time, who knows? The NAU could be communist right now.
1899- The invention of the airplane by 2 American boys gives the NAU a head start in aircraft production.
1909- The President of the NAU is impeached for attempting to take more power than he should, and talking of attacking certain allies that the NAU had at the time.
1910- Ronald Grey is elected president of the NAU. The NAU begins to envest in nuclear study.
( I am assuming that the history that is writted on the main thread happened before 1880.)
That's great, Germs. Nuclear study's a bit too advanced, considering it's 1910, but I assume they are just discovering atoms, perhaps. You can start to post.

Thanks. The nuclear study is just them just learning about atoms. They are not even close to nukes. Its just there to spice up the history.

and I'm changing the "Zulu Empire" to "Zululand" because its still accurate and sounds a lot cooler.
Zululand... lol.
We should invite Vilage to play Ethiopia.

Keep in mind, the person who goes to play any such country can decide their relations, but for NPCs, the above ideas are good guidelines.
Now, Feokris, you should post, and Hug, you should make a sign-up sheet. Feo, you're a mod, so if I'm gone and Hug posts his sheet, you can accept it.
