Fallen Empires

Alright, so odds are, this RP isn’t going exist until we all die. But hopefully, it will to a certain degree outlive us. So how are we going to remember who came before? Well, that’s what the new “fallen empires” mechanic is all about. This is to preserve the nations who have played an important role in the RP, as either an OG founding member or as a “political” figure.

HOW IT WORKS:
So here’s how being a fallen empire works. It’s pretty similar to what we see with Aragren and Onaea already. Ones nation is shrunk down to around there starting claims, depending on the size. When it comes to technology, they all stay on pace to above the world average, considering most of the nations I will get into are. This also makes it harder to pick on the nations. The nation won’t be involved with others at all. They become rampantly isolationist. No wars, no real diplomacy. They become Autarkies, with no real external trade. They won’t help allies. But if they are attacked, they will all “awaken” from their slumber, and gang up on the attacker, assuming they had good enough prior to their inactivity.

WHO GETS THIS TREATMENT:
Here are a list of nations that I believe should receive this privilege, why, and what land they keep. If anybody has any problems with whose on here, or what they keep, say so. You already know Aragren and Onaea.

Me:
I hate throwing myself on here, but I don’t see why I wouldn’t be. As I said, if you disagree, feel free to contest me. All in all, I will just shrink down to California(both Alta and Baja) and Nevada.

EMASTALIA:
Emastalia was our second president, and has also been around since really early on. Not one of the real four “founders”, but still. Odds are, they just stay at their current borders, barring colonies.

WPU:
Although not the most active person in the world, WPU has been here since the beginning. Catalonia and the Balearic Islands.

NAFS:
Of course, who couldn’t forget the second member of the RP and the first mapmaker. Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Indians, and Wisconsin are what they LOSE. They remain in the rest.

Zattia:
Our second map maker, Zattia has been here for a very long time. I don’t remember where you started, so if you could tell me the rough area, that would be good.

Algamonzimt:
Once again, has been here since our first like 2 weeks, and therefore earns a spot. The original “Kingdom of Algamonzimt” as described by Zimt himself is his resting region.

Valencia:
The last of the “og” members, Valencia has been here for a very long time. He’s the last of the nations who get an “age” spot on the list. Pretty much his mainland territories. No colonies, but the actual region of Valencia.

Clun:
For his service in the RP government, Clun gets to become a fallen empire. Czechoslovakia, what I recall to be his starting area, will be his resting place. And the Kerguelen islands. For whatever reason.

Novamexia:
Similar reasoning to Clun, Nova gets to be preserved in spirit. His government will live on in Clun. Russia’s really tough to break up, because I would assume Moscow and it’s surrounding region, but that will end up in like the middle of some other country. You didn’t start with the claim system, so that’s the tricky part. I guess if you have any suggestions, tell me.

Ramalia:
Almost forgot about you, mate. So Valencia was not the last one, it’s Ramalia here. Serbia and Kosovo will probably be your resting place.

Salxeburg:
Alright, last one of OG members I forgot. The portion of eastern Germany(Brandenburg) that’s right over Clun.

And those are the group. They’ve made sizeable impacts to the RP, whether it’s as a person through there being a founder/being here since the earliest group of joiners/being an RP leader. If you have any problems with whose here, or what they get to keep, say something. If you think someone else should be on here, say so as well. Remember, this isn’t based off strength/RP power. It’s based off their contribution to the community.
