The Anean Star Empire

[The Anean Star Empire]

-Basics-
Name of your Nation: The Anean Star Empire
Type of Government: Constitutional Monarchy
Political Leaders:
- Emperor Nakhi Fhulsar Welhan
- General IX (colony governor)
Population: 5.71 trillion total; 2.4 million in the colony
Population Composition (what kinds of people/species are common):
- ~45% Haromian (human)
- ~40% Remnoran (anthros of various species)

-Military-
Volunteer only? Yes
Mandatory Service? If necessary
Military strengths (list 3):
- State of the art weaponry
- Populace willing to give life for the Empire
- Numerical size
Military weaknesses (list 3):
- Size can be a problem in terms of logistics
- Cost of weapon construction is very high
- People rarely support a war unless attacked first
Nuclear weapons? Obsolete
Biological weapons? Outlawed
Chemical weapons? Outlawed
Space based weapons? Well, I kind of have to have them

[Note: The use on Nuclear, Biological, Chemical, and Space based weaponry is as likely to draw the ire of every nation down upon you as it is in reality. These are things that are given -extreme- weight, can ruin hundreds of thousands of lives, and drastically affect the entire landscape for decades to come. -ALL- super weapons of -ANY- kind fall into the above, and will -ALWAYS- carry a consequence towards use]

-Technology-
Relative technology level: Space Age
Internet access: Near-universal
Dominate Transportation Method: Cars or mass transit
Television access: Near-universal


-Style-
Please write a little about your out of character desires for what kind of RPs you're interested in. Such as do you wish to keep on the national level, important people making big decisions, or more local, or stories about individual people whom just happen to live in your nation? Expound as much as you like as giving more detail will provide others with a sense of what you're up to for RPs.
- Anything goes. I like trying new things.

-History-
What is your nations history?
- Born from revolution, the Anean Empire defined their homeworld of Haroma III. After taking over the world, the Empire entered space carefully. They almost lost everything in the First Federation War. For the next 200 years the Empire struggled to recover from the war. That changed with the assimilation of the Remnoran Republic and then the Anean Star Empire was formed. 800 years later, the Anean Star Empire secured 48% of the Andromeda Galaxy and remains a top power. Now they set their sights on other galaxies.

-Relations to other nations-
How does your government and people feel and interact with other nations?
- Both the people and government are welcoming to other nations.

-Give 3 interesting facts about your nation that gives it character:
- Last major power in the Andromeda Galaxy
- Despite being ruled by an Emperor, it is a fair nation with civil and political rights almost unmatched
- Despite that, new colonies are generally chaotic and struggling to start up.


Military:

Relative % of the armies and the (general) troops:

AGF (Army and Marines): 70%
-Standard troops: 60%
-Specialized troops: 20%
-Vehicles/Armors: 20%

ASF (Navy and Air Force): 30%
-Standard troops : 40%
-Specialized troops : 20%
-Starbases/Starships: 40%

Out of a population of 5.71 trillion:

AGF Numbers: 140,000,000 active; 700,000,000 reservists
ASF Numbers: 60,000,000 active; 100,000,000 reservists

--Navy and Air Force make up the Anean Space Force while the Army and Marines make up the Anean Ground Force--

The biggest question I have is about balance. At present, the upper limit post reboot has been mid 21st century with a few super techs here and there. From the sounds of things you're implying that your nation/colony has at least some access to Faster Than Light travel (FTL from here on out) and super advanced super weapons (space weapons and nukes being obsolete). I worry that this could lead to giant space battle fleet invasions which is incredibly unbalancing. An era where there's such a thing tends to push for the elimination of individual nation states on a planet pretty quickly for one, which I'm pretty sure isn't going to happen as we each play different nations and such unifications don't really work with that, and else wise it can push everyone else into a very paranoid corner as they are simply out classed. This makes RP painful and difficult for those with more modern tech levels.

But! As I don't like being a pessimist, I'll offer up some constructive ideas to maybe make things fit better. First idea, your colony on our alternative earth is very isolated from the star empire. Its 2.5 million light years from earth to the Andromeda galaxy. If your FTL drive is limited in how fast it can travel it could mean that access to the home galaxy is incredibly limited. At one extreme the colony ship sent to earth could of been a sleeper ship and of taken decades (or longer) to get here. This would also imply that the high tech, potentially unbalancing, items of advanced technology are in short supply (possibly one of the reasons there is an aversion to going to war) and production of replacements is either not possible at the moment or replacements are of inferior quality. Also with the long travel time it might mean that the Anean Star Empire didn't know there was intelligent life on this planet which can make for interesting rp possibilities.

Second idea, we get back to 'far future' type threads such as Tails of the Future and Star Furs. If you've not read these, they're interesting set ups, with Star Furs having the more cohesive story (sorta...). Playing exclusively in those threads will be less unbalancing as the tech level would be effectively even. What more you can be free to make up your own far future threads.

Thoughts?

I could see this work, if they were the Miliatin, who moved north and lost their tech. The super-volcanic eruption could have been their fault. They lost contact after that. well and everything. this could be there home planet and the teerie their only locals.

I mean as events go there is little that could be worse. They lost their tech there and then buried under milies of magma. but they would place them in the south east.

Thoughts?

One: You know, I did not even notice that tech limit thing.

Two: The weapons are not as advanced as you might as think. Well, in terms of ground weapons they are not too advanced.

Three: As for the massive invasion fleets, I am not an ass and I doubt that I would be getting into a war anyway.

Four: The colony ship itself is an idea, but the FTL drive is quite advanced. Generally, it takes a day to get across the Andromeda, so it would probably be a few weeks to get to the Milky Way. However, for the sake of this site, I will use the sleeper ship.

Five: As for not knowing there was life here, I think I can work with that. It would definitely make things interesting.

Alright, I think things should be pretty good then. Your app is missing the required 1 tech disadvantage. But, a great idea for that might be that your tech is totally incompatible with local tech in some fundamental fashion. Another possibility is requiring specific raw materials that are scare on Fuzzy-Earth. Another scarcity idea in that there's not many facilities capable of building the more wondrous items. But feel free to come up with alternative ideas, I'm just tossing a couple out there.

One idea for why you'd of used a sleeper ship, perhaps your FTL has problems when dealing with inter-galaxy transit that make going full speed dangerous or impossible. Another possibility that would add a strange bit of mystery to the universe would be that not sleeping during a journey between galaxies makes people go crazy or something.

Yeah, I think that the incompatible tech would work good for that.

As for the reason for the use of the sleeper ship, when I read that last sentence I thought of the movie 'Pandorum'. But yeah, that'd work.

Alright. Then I think you're good to go then.

Of course the next question is, where do you want your colony map wise?

I was thinking on that island in the northwest.

[The Union of Tinis]

Coolies. I can do the terrain or you can give me suggestions on how you'd like it to look. Let me know which you'd prefer!

You can do it how you want. But the colony's capital would be New Gracaria.

[The Union of Tinis]

Hehe, I should of asked for clarification. You say north west yes? Well there's three islands there at present. Which one or all three?

Whoops, glad you caught me there. I meant northeast. I think I was half asleep when I posted that.

[The Union of Tinis]

No problem. I'll probably have a new map up either later today or tomorrow.

[The Union of Tinis]

I dare say that's an epic timeline.

[Kingdoms of Cal]

You seem to have the history of the future there?
