I recently joined CN, saw the Open National thread and just love the idea of it. I've been with previous RPs along the same lines but they seem to either fail in the first few days or turn into big pile of almost ordered chaos.

Anyways, I was wondering if there were any Nations with Protectorate's that were willing to let me set up a nation in them?

Also I was looking through the guides and rules set out and I couldn't quite determine if I was meant to do this IC or OOC. Sorry if I got it wrong.

There are several nations in fact however I would first look for a location you think you can play a long time. If you find it ask the Protectorate owner(there is a nation of nations and forum accounts). Should the land you want be already within an established nation you might want to contact the owner to see if a compromise is possible. Just remember you will probably be in the same place for a long time. If you do not like it keep searching.

I did lean towards the protectorate owned by the Rebel Army, where Greece is in our world, but I've yet to get a reply.

My idea was to see who replies to this, and see if they are willing to give up a protectorate for a new player. Though if I'm honest I like being thrown into the deep end, so actual size or placement isn't that much of an issue for me, besides beggars can't be choosers.

I don't know how available Greece is going to be. People are always clammoring over it. If it was me, I would try some of the Canadian protectorates. The area is rich in resources and V_the_king is a really nice guy, so he'll most likely let you have some good land.

I can vouch for the truth of this statement.

I was thinking about Canada area, but what put me off was the huge amount of territory. Is it possible to only ask for half or a fraction of the protectorate?

Of course, most prefer smaller claims actually and it's even limited by your in-game sphere of influence

Of course. As Cent says, you are only allowed to initially claim as much land as your ingame Area of Influence covers anyway.

So no, there's nothing wrong with only asking for a fraction of it.

Yay! Thanks for the help guys. I'll go send him a PM in a moment.

Even though it's not indicated as being a "protectorate" I'm always looking for stable nations to move into some of my African territory (northern portions).

Yay! New friend

Thanks for the offer, if I don't get a place in Canada, then I will take you up, though I have always liked the idea of an African nation.

Yo, word dawg, Africa is where its at.

At least if stability is what you're after.

They only have wars half as often as Asian and Europe

You can also take my protectorate if you don't get Canada. But you can only have either or.

No, stability is the definition of South America.

Unless your getting eaten alive in Diberia by zombies.

So, let my get this straight. Asia and Europe, the supposedly most stable of places in our world, excluding the middle east our the most unstable in this one?

Dose that mean Africa could annihilate everyone? An African empire? This is going to be awesome!

Middle East, North America and Austria are the biggest powers!! The most volatile region is Europe, closely followed by Asia and given a competition by North Africa. Some times Antarctica gets hot too, when people are bored with creating conflicts in other continents, .

North Africa has never been volatile. After "Africa" was caught evading it switched hands a few times but it was rarely violent until the Nords decided to go !@#$% on Gebiv. Lavo took it over and until I came along it was a pretty peaceful place. Ever since I took it over it's been a peaceful place.

Well that has too change.

Have there been a World War in this world yet?

Too many to count. I believe they were all against Nazis the Nords, at least in my time.

There was also a war in which three South American nations attacked an innocent nation and literally half of the entire world declared war on the three.

Whatever happened to them? Were they completely annihilated? I can't find them on the map.

I think the entire active community at the time declared war on those three. I don't think they'll ever come back.

Ouch! You see, I think if your going to do something like that your going to need a really, really BIG ARMY and lots of help! Or somehow get the approval of most of the other nations....

*Begins to plan*

That doesnt always work... A certain nation in Western Europe with a German word as a name comes to mind...

Here's a free tip: Don't attack somebody much, much, bigger than you or if they have lots of allies.

It also helps to check the Treaties and Blocs thread to see if your enemy has friends...

Don't forget North America.



Ah...good ol' times. I remember these.

Just make that the Americas and Europe

I'm not going to plan a war any time soon. I was just wondering what the best defence for me would be and I think I've figured it out.

But, I'm not going to tell you guys!!!

So who is still alive from the beginning?

I would still be in the same country I started with but I thought I was going to be moving to a place without internet access so I quit.

I re-joined once I realized I was mistaken but by then the damage was done.

Not until next year, I think you know why...

I kind of am. I traded my land, but I still have my original government and ruler.

Sorry...with HHAYD's stunts, and the confrontation over Texas...you don't qualify...

The incident you were referring to was where 56 nations declared war on three nations. I was apart of it, and got Greek Brasilia, back when I was Kamino, but that was ages ago.

The entire CNRP Planet Bob doesn't qualify.

Actually apart from the zombies in the north, Top Gear and some crazy terrorists South America does

If it wasn't for the unrest in my own nation...Australia would qualify...

The only stable place on the entire CNRP universe is SOUTHERN Africa.

For everyone posting war advice. Just say this.

don't attack anyone, unless you're Dranagg, who gets away with it, and wins while losing.

True, the land of, what? Inactivity?

All of the other continents always have something interesting.

North America: Terrorism and instability
South America: Terrorism
Australia: Terrorism and instability
Northern Africa: Verbal wars, instability, and hostility to non-African nations
Europe: Verbal wars, nuclear wasteland, Weapons of Mass Destruction carpet bombing, and non-stop warfare.
Asia: War
Antarctica: General instability
South Africa: Crickets chirping

Northern Africa is not unstable.

Asia is also missing hostility to non-asians, instability and general idiocy.

Minus the Great Lakes States and Texas from North America and you get...

You could say the exact same thing for North America. Also, we're not idiots, we just act that way so we seem less harmless (except for me, I genuinely am an idiot )

South Africa is actually interesting without being really unstable (Because of Botha...)


Oh, so we all imagined the nukes dropped on Carthage?

That was because of an in-game war in which I got nuked.

Not because of any real instability.

it still counts as instability. You were in a war which you RP'd as a rebellion. A rebellion which nuked you. That hardly qualifies you as stable...

Very stable. That was in Spain.

Didn't your nation in Africa also got hit with nukes other than in Spain?
