Hey... So I am not super versed in forum RP (this being my first) like this

So I'm sorry if my first post in the IC thread is a little off, if you see anything wrong with it a little help would be appreciated , sorry guys, and thanks.

I find it interesting that y'all are using real-life place names.

I find it interesting that y'all are using real-life place names.

For me it's simply for context and because I am unimaginative xD the cities I mention in my post though don't exist though, the places do, which I thought was more fun... But it means I don't need to provide geographic context for all of them

Says the person who claims a percentage of their population follows traditional Chinese religion and calls the ocean to their east the Pacific in their factbook.

I was merely following the conventions set when others brought in the real-life Norse religion as the main non-Potatoeist belief. There simply is no other term to describe that form of worship. And who am I to name an international body of water (even if I do own most of it )?

I feel like I'm going to be really bad at this RP for some reason....

I, for one, will be using fictional place names.

And why do you think that, Gatto?

I dunno, it would be the first time I've actually been in one.

It'll be my first of this type as well, so don't worry.

Also, something I've realized is that with the ocean in between our continents and our current tech level, it'd take like a month for news to reach my country of anything that happens. So, yeah.

The communications delay is something all of us have to deal with, and it's part of what makes this tech level interesting.

Fortunately, my own nation has the telegraph. (Not that that helps much, considering that half of my territories aren't on the mainland and news still has to reach the nation's borders by courier.)

So while I was fixing my map by overlaying a real-life one (that used the same basemap) over mine, I noticed that Robin's nation and mine likely don't share a long border. His southwestern border is formed by drawing a diagonal line straight from the western tip of Mongolia to my northeasternmost point. On the other hand, my northwestern border is supposed to be the "Greater Tibet" claimed by Tibetan exiles, and this region lies far to the south of that line.

I'll gladly take Xinjiang for a longer border!!!

As would I, Robin, as would I.

I sense impending territorial war...

You've only just started sensing it?

@Aragonn, my Norse brother to the North, we're going to have to discuss how my people branched off from yours. And then we can crush this filthy heathen dividing our territories.
