Welcome to the Brave New World! The map you gaze upon above is a land that lacks any written history, nations, or inhabitants. It's geography is empty and it hasn't a culture to speak of. However, it is a land of endless opportunity, creativity, and discovery. It is a world dictated by those who decide to brave its unknown regions. Not limited to the laws of our world, this land can be bent, twisted, and molded to any shape a player desires. The goal to this RPG is simple: create a Civilization and have it survive in the ever changing tides of the world.

*Notice, this is only a portion of the world, I may consider making a "New World" type place, with more continents.

Set in the era similar to that the 1900-1925's, it is like that time in human history. Technology is limited to of that area of history. Period. However, you are not limited to technology. Of course not, for this is a world where anything is possible! Forsake the technology, powered by the mind and it's capacity, dive into the deluge of magic! But to keep things fair, as this needs to be fair, you wouldn't want it unfair, would you? There are limits on magic as well. Smaller feats of magic can be achieved by an average magician at will, but any large act(s)- and I mean any large act(s) of magic- require(s) much preparation (in the form of rituals, sacrifices, fasts, etc.). This stops the "single OP wizard will tear down your entire army". Even with a ritual and an extreme pro-magic magician, it will still take a decent-sized force of these to take down a whole army, perfectly fair, right? Now, a civilization can either be pro-magic or pro-tech either side will work, it's up to you. If one tries to dabble extensively into both they will fail, only being average at the best in both areas. Choose wisely, new leaders.

Furthermore, nations range in sizes, both in population and in landmass. But try to keep them proportional. e.g., if you have a tiny population you should probably have a smaller landmass, large population to large landmass. Etc, etc. If the land mass is too large, I will tell you to downsize it. Population classifications are as follows:

Small: 0-5,000,000
Medium: 5,000,001-10,000,000
Large: 10,000,001-15,000,0001.

*Please try to avoid using the largest population. Be realistic, most countries have some form of a middleground between the extremes.*

Use good judgment when deciding how large your land is. Larger populations can (usually) hold more land effectively than smaller ones. (Though England had a pretty good run, so I will be lenient on this) Use Paint to show where you want your nation to be. If you can't do this then please just write a (very) detailed blurb describing the location on the map (I will probably screw up if it's not very detailed.). Remember, this is a first come first serve RP, the people who post first get a location first.

There are few rules to this RP, but nothing totalitarianistic that it will inhibit your creative powers.


This is your nation sheet. Fill it out however you want. But please, try and have some detail, and keep the grammar decent. And feel free to modify it as you see fit to better appeal to you, the leader of your nation, and the other nations.

*Notice: As this is a new world, no history of interaction with other countries.

That's it! While it may look daunting at first trust me that it isn't. After a few posts even the newest RPGer will get the hang of it. So may the heavens shine down upon you, great builder of civilizations, and ask yourself: can you build a nation that will stand the test of time?
