If I were you, I would go for it. Just make sure to find some good RP reason's for it. Get the Meiji Restoration going. Hell, we all know we now need some Imperial Japanese to at least be annoying to Vellos' China.

That's the plan then. The Meiji restoration shall begin early on. There are plenty of RP reasons for it. Like the real reasons actually used during the restoration in Japan.

I have added all countries currently on our list. Let me know if I have made any mistakes or missed territory that should belong to someone but doesn't on the map.

I believe Japan starts with all of Africa, and Australia. ;)

Hey geogr-idiot.

I think you mixed up your pair a' guays. You got'em backwards; you're a (g)way too dumb to make that map.

Ok, I fixed the (guay)or.


Also, if you right click and "view image" you can see it full size. Which is nicer.

Hmmm...

I'll trade you noninterference in central asia for a quiet frontier?

I'll see, when I've decided where I want to go with Russia. Don't want to take a call on it just yet.

Why don't I have Alaska, Perth?

Now you do.

I believe so. The USA bought it in 1867.

Also, I'm going to put a tentative start date for Friday night. That's when I'll open an official thread for the game and everything.

We'll keep Nation Registration open until then. So if anyone else wants to join, say so!

Also, by the end of the week I should have all the other small materials made up that I will need.


Those interested: We still need some waring Americans and a French Emperor most of all!  :D

Found a Chinese propaganda map that shows the Sino/Russian border in 1860. The coloured regions are taken by Russia after the Peking Convention in 1860, and the border between the Korean Kingdom, Russia and China.



Believe it or not, China still wants to go to war against this humiliation today  ::)
