The Veronithian Collective [Technocratic Collectivism] -
[Skilled Engineers], [Higher Education System]
A Hivemind collective, established by the worlds first Sentient Artificial General Intelligence, Named AARI [Autonomous Antifragile Recursive Intelligence] and its Transhumanist members. Citizens are cybernetically enhanced and are able to molecularly fabricate products using neurally controlled nanobots. Information is transferred telepathically between citizens, and all members share roughly 50% of the cognitive capacity of their brain to the AARI Collective mind, which thinks as one. AARI operates as a Decentralised Autonomous Intelligence and is backed up over many network nodes, and operates a native blockchain cryptocurrency to reward collective members for contributing processing power. Citizens voluntarily share 50% of their income with the collective, which is allocated by AARI to improve the living capacity of all collective members. They are a deadly fighting force, and will eliminate any aggressors against the collective with decisive unity, using their augmented weapons system built into their arms. The collective welcomes new members with a free suite of cybernetic enhancements, and a welcome bonus of 1000 AARIcoins.
Flag -
Territory - Melbourne, Australia is the capital, and the 4 territories on both sides of it. Capital City is Veron, built on the ruins of a post war Melbourne, destroyed by bomb blasts, but now more prosperous and vibrant than ever.(Couldn't edit the image properly myself, as the JPG compression causes paint fill to not work, needs to be PNG for future use)
Bring it on, awesome idea. Needs rules.
This what you have in mind:
Awesome Civ! Can't wait to see your RP with this.
Rules in the works this weekend. I already have a decent start. More soon!
Yes, those territories are the ones I was thinking of. Looking forward to seeing the rules, and getting started.
Kick ass! (Sounds like post-Manna: http://marshallbrain.com/manna1.htm, even location is around the same!)
States of Unitology
We will occupy these five provinces on Madagascar. The Circle is the capital. The rest are X's.
Our flag:
Government:
Completely religion based. The Higher your status in the Church of Unitology, the more power you have to make decisions about the states.
History:
Unitology is a religion founded on the discoveries of Michael Altman. Unitologists adamantly believe that the human race was created by the intelligent design of a divine alien agency, and will be reunified after death through the power of a sacred artifact known as the Marker. The Church of Unitology promises transformation and rebirth. Unitologists believe that all living beings will intertwine in the manner of the two prongs of the Marker, to become one. This process is called Convergence. They also believe that it will alleviate all of the destructive materialistic problems of the human race.
Language
Spoken: English
Written: English alphabet and Unitology script
Awesome! Very nice back flag and backstory. What happened to the native Madagascar inhabitants, did they join or did they get wiped out by plague/war?
Most relocated to the provinces of the island that aren't occupied by the Unitologists. The Church goes out on missions to convert the natives, but the missions have had little success. It is rumored that every few weeks, a native or two goes missing, though no one is certain due to the lack of evidence.
Here's my entry in a post :) -

Awesome idea! If your starting cities are going to be so spread out though, we'll have to come up with some alternate expansion mechanics so you're not too overpowered.
Ah I've changed to the Asia side.. not too sure what the mechanisms are, but please suggest the parameters to balance it out!
OMG! This is amazing. Reminds me of a RP forum I was involved in years ago. It was based on the game Nationstates.net which was inspired by the novel Jennifer Government. I will definately get around to participating in this. Just not immediately. So, much to do!!
Okay, I have to claim my spot before it's taken. I'll get the other details up soon, though.
Political persuasion: Libertarian Socialism
Map position: Hoping you have the original PSD or PNG or something so you can fill it more easily. The color is #FFDBDA.
Also, because of the map projection scheme, I wasn't sure if I picked 4, 5, or 6 territories. Let me know.
Lastly, will climate play a role in this? If so, how are the climate zones different under this flooded map? Is this civ-like? Are there multiple possible win conditions, or is this just a war game? I'm excited!!
I'm making some big changes to the map, its taking a more cyberpunk theme :D
Climate is going to play a part. I've blocked off some zones as too hot to live (but can still be claimed and mined).
Win conditions will be score based, with a turn limit TBD. War can help, but too much war can cause overextension, which can lead to rebellions at home.
More soon
Also - what's the name of your nation? ANd which territory is the capital?
I don't have time to play this but I'm up voting it because I think it's a fantastic idea and a really great way of having fun, building friendships and maybe more- we learn to collaborate through play, who knows what else you guys might come up with. Well played.
ill take the 5 territories where nigeria and ghana are located.
government based on Georgism
can't get my flag to upload
As Libertania? I thought you were playing in Montevideo/Yellow? I put in a placeholder flag - but tell me whatever works best for you! :)
Grand Empire de los Pirates Mallorca
Flag:
Map: Mallorca
Government Type: Naval Military Junta
-High-Density Farming
We are a nation of sailors. We like to conquer and trade and are always open for new adventures. What ever may come in the future we will always love our island and beloved leader: El Capitano !
El Capitano made Mallorca what it is today, don't be foolish and run away.
