Nation-States: Empires of Valinor

[Shireling]

The continent of Valinor is the most populated in the world and home to a myriad of nations, each competing for limited resources. Some of these nations are greater than most, and the greatest are seeking to carve out empires.


The dawn of the 19th Century has brought new opportunities and new challenges to the old continent, and each nation must struggle to survive and to thrive.


As the leader of one of these emerging empires, you will balance military spending, commerce, technological development, growth and expansion, and diplomacy, with each action affecting your nation in a tangible way.


Note, involvement in this RP involves math skills, good grammar, and the ability to keep track of things on paper or otherwise. If you cannot meet these requirements, go elsewhere. If I haven't scared you off by now, welcome to Nation-States: Empires of Valinor.
