Map and Map Rules
(Click Map for Higher Resolution)
These are pretty simple rules, allowing for everything to run smoothly within the map:
When starting, territories must be very closely connected (no random colonies halfway across the world)
Puppets are only allowed with permission by Rose moon or a major roleplay moderator. Usually, puppets will be accepted if they contribute to the overall lore and storyline of the roleplay
Max of two puppets (if they are accepted)
Underwater nations are allowed and possible. However, the same rules apply as above.
Nomadic nations are allowed and possible. However, you should get some permission from the nations your roleplaying in if you're going to do some major stuff.
Claims should be logical (No claiming the entire map or an entire continent/landmass)
Unsettled land which is the Green land on the map, cannot be expanded into.
Nations marked with "AFK" cannot be expanded into as long as the period stated of them being "AFK" is active. (To be marked as AFK, you can DM either Rose moon or a roleplay moderator)
Expanding can occur in three ways: war, colonization, and events.
War can be done by declaring war on another nation (MUST BE A PLAYER NATION). Effectively roleplaying to allow yourself to absorb territory from that other nation. NPC's cannot be declared war on (as they can't defend themselves).
Colonization involves absorbing an inactive nation's (15 days without any notice of going inactive) territory. However, only a specific part of the expired nation can be annexed (Example: They have a colony, you want to annex the colony. You can annex the colony but not the mainland of the expired/inactive nation)
• A nation is considered inactive 15 days after their roleplay post. After 21 days the "expired" nation will be removed from the map.
• An expired nation has to be occupied for at least 7 days a week in order to be officially considered "annexed" and repainted within the map.
• Every nation has a 1 free pass of an automatic "liberation" of their land after coming back from inactivity for less than 21 days.
• If you wish to annex an expired nation, it has to be a logical distance away from where your nation is or has borders with.
(No conquering inactive nations halfway across the world from where you are)
(Note: You may have to defend the occupation against foreign threats. It probably won't just be you who wants to take a slice of land.)
Sometimes there will be "Events", which are random occurrences of crisis, wars, invasions, disasters, etc. That may occur within the roleplay. These events can be started by moderators of the roleplay, as well as Rose moon.
• Events can sometimes allow for nations to expand into the land that is allowed by the "event". For example, a random crisis event begins where a group of bandits has stolen a nuke. Two nations declare war on each other, and one wins, the victorious nation can annex land from the loser.
To get accepted into the roleplay there are a couple of methods.
