I gotta be honest, guys.  I am actually finding updating and constantly following this game to be a tremendous consumption of time and attention.  Frankly, I am seriously considering either dropping the project altogether or passing it off to anyone who I

the game hasnt even started and you're already complaining

Population set at 11,211,668.
I'll need a PM explanation at why the population is set that high.



Location:
Accepted, but location needs to change as Nizza claimed it first:


Players shouldn't be able to give nations their nation's land at all, let alone 10%. If they leave, their nations should remain as NPCs.

Capitol City: Landon
Major Cities: Landon, Alberton, Worcestershiredon
southeast of nyn, and south of that, hugging that gulf. (backwards c)
Accepted.  Can't put you on the map until you have the location of your cities specified, though.  Also, the 10% isn't up to their discretion.  It's solely for moderators.  As for anyone wishing to become a moderator, they must be a nation that is not competing for supremacy.  Arcon is one such nation.  I amy need a moderator in the near future, as I didn't anticipate this much volume.

And also, this:

Let's just wait and see how it works.



Also you all can do diplomatic stuff in the mean time.  Just no war or heavy actions.

Valbrandsvåg is sent a request for a mutual defense pact.


This really seems like you're just trying to rat on SWAT One, tbh Swat 3. Besides, all those times you got the snot beaten out of you in other nation rps is usually because you did something silly. I'm also fairly certain you're one of the very few people who had genuine problems with the other roleplays like this.

You're better off not assuming it's going to die and trying to have fun, instead of calling people out for no reason, whether intentional(it was) or not.



I'll wait till I'm on the map before I start doing stuff. Though I don't care where I really am.

Accepted, but location needs to change as Nizza claimed it first

ah naw, i'm not calling swat one out specifically. i just said that the FORMAT that these specific "earth" rps use is rather... spacous. i congratulate swat one's on his last rp, because he actually INTRODUCED npcs, and i just ask him to expand on it (a lot).

i did do a lot of stupid stuff, but that's different. this format where nations can just aggressively expand outwards, gradually getting more "op" with no nations stopping them is a problem i just only recently thought of.

History:

The nation of Larusia was founded in 219 A.D. after the Adenbell Convention of 218 A.D., which consolidated the local tribes and settlements on the eastern Serisian Peninsula. The Republic of Kralau was founded in 250 A.D. while the Celeskian Federation was founded in 264 A.D. in a similar manner to Larusia’s formation. The three states coexisted in relative peace until the Serisian War of 340 A.D., ending in 350 A.D. after the Larusian Navy defeated the Celeskian fleet in the bay of Estallum.

Peace persisted until 400 A.D., when a Larusian frigate was destroyed by Milhamite forces in the Great Lake. In the face of this threat, the Coalition of Serisian States was formed the same year at Adenbell. The Coalition allowed the Serisian states to grow closer in culture, trade, and relations; which led to the uniquely lax nature towards religious differences in the Serisian states. During the Coalition’s existence, they encountered the Kyrevian state, which they had amicable relations with; and the Serisian Coalition supported the Kyrev in at least two wars against the Milhamite state. In the meantime, the Coalition built up respectable defense forces, these well-disciplined and independent state armies allowed the Coalition to prosper in relative peace.

The modern Serisian government was created in 1670 A.D., with their capitol at Sentrilli, a location guarded from the exclusive interests of any of the members of the former Coalition. Under the Federal Serisian Government, the military was reformed into a combined military; consequentially, the overall size of the Federal Army was reduced to focus on managing increased urbanization in the major cities. During the years 1740-1750 A.D., a pandemic reduced the Serisian population to 1.8 million from a prospering 3 million people. The pandemic was contained thanks to the efforts of the Federal Serisian government’s quick action, preventing travel in and out of the country during the pandemic. After the pandemic, the nation’s industrialization required workers, and due to the pandemic earlier, the pay was more attractive in the cities than the farms. This started sparked the consolidation and mechanization of farming throughout the Serisian peninsula. During this period, the Federal Serisian Navy was increased in size to protect their trade interests and shipping. Due to the manpower required to crew these ships, the Serisian Navy has sought to build more efficient ships and more recently, more mechanized ships. This led to the construction of the Caliburn-class cruisers; independent, long endurance warships that could help project Seris’s naval power during extended missions.

In the recent war with Milhamiah, Seris provided the bulk of naval power for the campaign, allowing Kyrev to become a major power in the region after defeating the Jewish Holy State.




Military:

The Federal Serisian Military emphasizes flexibility, adaptability, and mobility in order to make up the comparably small amount of manpower that can be leveraged in comparison to other nations. Furthermore, the founding states of the Federal Serisian States have always employed compulsory military service in order to help leverage manpower in times of crCIA; those serving under compulsory military service are not mobilized under peacetime, but with reforms adopted from the Empire of Kyrev and created at home, the main distinction between the core army and conscripts is that those reporting for compulsory military service are regularly drilled and trained during the mandatory service period. The professional state military is typically deployed during peacetime, though like other forces, military leave is granted. Those who leave the professional military or at the end of their compulsory service term can opt to continue service as reservists, which are subject to the regular drills and training like conscripted troops.

The officers of the Federal Serisian Navy are extensively trained at the Larusian Navy Academy of Adenbell, while officers in general are trained at the Kralaun Military Academy at Karu. Training at these academies is rigorous, but allows officers to develop their own strategies and tactics. Often, these officers are also trained to perform standard military roles to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the forces they will command. Tuition to these military academies is free so that a broad pool of candidates can be obtained, which is then filtered out through the rigorous and extensive training. The result is a diverse set of officers with a diverse philosophies and strategies towards war.
