WesWorld

Okay, for those of you who dont know me, my name is Gabrielle. Im also a member of Navalism, and I play the Eastern Kingdom (PC nation) there. Im kind of known as the airpower player there. Ive been wanting to start a nation here on Wesworld for a while, and I asked HooMan about it, he suggested that I ask the board to join. So I wrote up this kind of unique PC nation proposal in hopes that I would be able to join with the boards blessing.

Why don't we take a block of NPC countries, and combine them to form a larger moderately powerful player nation?

Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia/Serbia, Czechoslovakia, Poland & Hungary.

Some of those (Romania, Poland and Yuoslavia) are already combined. making this less divergent from how wesworld is already set up. Czechoslovakia and Bulgaria (or at least Ithekro tells me) is hardly ever mentioned. making it easier to combine them without causing conflicts with the refferences made to them.

I altered the map so everyone could see what I mean:



thanks,

Marek still officially runs Romania, Poland and Yugoslavia, he just hasn't had the time to update as regularly due to his army duties.

On the other hand, I think Persia is free now.

Okay, thats cool...is there a way i can combine like territories there?

The thing I'd like to avoid is creating a weak state. Cuz the Eastern Kingdom on Navalism is really weak. And it gets boring after a while.

Taking a look*

Okay.

How about,

persia, afghanistan and... well what else is free there?

I don't think that combining countries would work, as it would mess up the continuity. Virtually every county has been mentioned individually, a retcon would be messy - especially with Persia, a member of SATSUMA.

The only real options in the sim at this point, I'm afraid, would be Persia and Bulgaria.

(Of course, you could always try invading and annexing Afghanistan... )

Persia/Afganistan works for me.

You're wise to pick countries far from Siam/Brazil...

Unless you enjoy Instant War(tm)

oh. hehe. okay. so definitely Persia and Afghanistan. sounds good to me.

^_^

and nope, i'm not into war. i kinda like to sit around building things. so i'll stay away from Brazil and Siam.

:-)

well what else is free there? i'm not familiar with how wesworld works and whats currently free. Is Saudia Arabia free? Iraq? Pakistan?

You'll want to read up on WW Persian 'history' before committing, of course.

okay.

sounds like good advice.

is there a particular reason though?

Saudi Arabia just got thrashed by India et. al.; Iraq and Pakistan are British colonies.

Persia is a member of the SATSUMA alliance, so it would be a good idea to work along the path that has been set out previously.

Well there is the combination (Marek's place if he is to be on duty for a long period of time).

Persia has had that on again off again title. Annexing Afganistan (or Iraq) could be in line with expansionist polices, though it would need to answer to SATSUMA..or the League of Nations.

Is there anyone that has a client state or colony that they'd like to pawn off?

Or a second country to liberate you workload.

Italy or Japan could use a "live person" for their client states to avoid, or even create, treaty tension.

Bolivia and Paraguay are free at the moment, but in a quarter I figure they will both be history or seriously incapacitated....besides they have little to no naval forces to speak of...and no coastlines.

got trashed?

making it an easy target for persia?

^_^

sorry. i got overly enthusiastic.

:p

ps. turkey is played by smilingassassin right? so it belongs to atlantis? or atlantis wants it?

cuz if it wasnt, i'd take it and set up something similar to the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire) or Ottoman empire. interesting concept...kinda too divergent from original timeline tho.

Well Persia assisted India in fighting the House of Saud, so they probably wouldn't be looking for a Round Two just yet.

Wes runs Turkey and Atlantis seperatly (despite what the Greeks might say ).

One thing to keep in mind is that any new players need to stick to the established 'verse instead of injecting large doeses of handwavium changes.

Persia...and...?




thanks

Okay.

If I were to play Persia, couldn't I remove it from Satsuma?

What about this combination?

Persia, Afghanistan,Saudia Arabia, Hedjaz, Yemen, Armenia, Azerbaijan

a map to illustrate:

What about Mu?

I like the Ataturk link...

Cheers,

PS. Not a serious suggestion I just thought people would like to see strange maps.

Well you got two problems..one Wesworld, and one real world.

First you have that Persia was fighting the Saudi and Yemen just a few monhs ago with Persia's SATSUMA ally India.

Second, Persia and the Saudi are on the opposite poles of Islam (all that sectarian voilence in today's world, well it exists back then too.)

The Russians, Turks, and possibly Atlantis would take objection to the annexation of Armenia, and the Saudi and HEdjaz don't get along, as Hedjaz is an Indian friendly state (right Rocky?).

I can also see the British having issues with this for some reason., but they may not.

I still think decolonization or rebellion might be the way to start a "new" nation. Or filling in a client state with a human (The East African State nearly got an aircraft carrier from Italy and places like Formosa have cruisers and even battlecruisers).

i'm eternally confused.

how about we take whatever territories i manage to get and call it "The Empire of Confusion"

i cant think of anything else.

Basically, they're saying that the proposed 'block states' you're asking for aren't feasible due to the political differences between the prospective components.

Your best bet is to take on Persia by itself, and work on a plausible storyline in which it would annex Afghanistan (and thus somehow gain more industrial capacity).

Your other two options are what's already been mentioned; Take on a ready-made puppet state (ie; Chosen, Formosa, EAS), or convince one of the other players to let you take something odd like Madagascar and have it declare independance.
