the first pedal bike was made in 1839

You can have it then, but practical implementation is still 1860. Unless you use tricycles.

The Industrialists and Imperialists both have been gaining ground in Parliament over the Colonists. The Chancellor's campaigning has helped, and many of the independents as well as some of the military is won to the Kaiser's side.

[Juncoph]

Federalism is implemented within New Romekate. Feudal concepts begin to enter the furnace as the Junker starts to become a position of democratically influenced regional authority, rather than a minor sovereign power.

The sciences are reformed as well, replacing what antiquated concepts were in use with western thought.

A nobleman named Falknir Yttengard starts to experiment with plant breeding to produce a hybrid of date fruits that can better tolerate the rocky soil of the upper hills.

Well, I see it under agriculture and terrain, most of that land is unfarmable and mountainous, E.G. like Japan IRL.

For example, if you look at Russia on a map, it seems enormous, however its actual population is just above Japan and far, far below the U.S.

Also to mention, this is my first time doing any sort of Geopolitical/Risk style game on a forum, so any advice or warnings would be appreciated.

romek-inen started with nothing but desert and desert mountains

and a volcano

but they weren't that big, they had to conquer an entire foreign nation plus cut another one in half and then build up the land between the three realms in order to grow into new romekate

i'd feel cheated if someone can just join and say "im this big now k"

I see. Well, I basically have just desert and desert mountains too from what I see, however if I need to cut back on size I will do so. Basically my logic was:
"Okay, the nations over at the coast and more developed and fertile areas are smaller, and the more inland, less fertile ones are larger. If I put my country say, here, then it will be challenging terrain with little farmland, and the size shouldn't be an issue due to roughness of terrain and development."

I don't mean to be pushy or anything; This is my first time playing something like this. I'm totally cool with shrinking or negotiating or whatever. Besides, pissing off new neighbors =/= a good idea for running a country.
