Long Description:

Europa is the product of centuries of work and progress. The planet started with the ESA, encouraging colonization of extrasolar worlds in the wake of other countries such as The United states, and China..etc, Finding a habitable planet in the inner colonies region of space, joining the other prospering planets. The planet itself was very much terrestrial if a tad bit arid, However it's oxygen was breathable, and water was located, as such it was selected as the go to world for the Immigrants from Europe. Following this the upper class bourgeois and Conservatives swarmed the Planet, as such the world was founded upon Conservative Capitalistic values, however with the introduction of the arbeiterklasse the planet returned to the spurious centre.

After the fall of Earth, and there for the ESA, the planets conservatives enacted a Coup d'etat overthrowing the old order of Europe and establishing an independent constitution, as this was the work of the Conservatives a Monarch was placed on the throne, as to emulate the values of the old Europe, of Chivalry, of honour, and of Aristocracy. Despite this the Conservatives still retained Democracy as another European value, In fact they did away with the old hereditary monarchy, and began a new era of elective Monarchy, the monarch was to be elected from the various aristocratic families, such as the Savoia's, the Adler's, The Blairs, etc...And the HoG was to be elected from the wishes of the people, in the form of direct democracy. Despite the conservatives wishes the Monarchy remained as it did in Britain during the 21st century, a non-executive nor Legislative figurehead, symbolizing the old values, The remnants of Earth.

In the Modern era Europa has advanced, the Population remains steadily at 123,890,987 million, formed up of a variety of Ethnic groups from earth, Mostly from Europe, but a significant minority (12%) from Middle eastern backgrounds the census includes Indians (Albeit incorrectly) as "Middle eastern" not that most would care of the term as it is archaic, (3%) Asiatic. It worth to note that Xenos are not included in the census nor are they officially citizens of the Planet, However if they are born on the planet they are granted Sol citizenship, this is entirely due to the popularity of the HIIP on the planet, which stems from it's working population and the Middle class. Of course "Citizenship" is merely a cosmetic thing on the planet, it is only a propaganda victory of which the Xenos have been cursed with.

The planet itself is remarkably similar to earth in the way of climate, and Atmospheric composition and gravity. It is around 1.03 AU's from it's sun; a class G star. The planet is around 67% water, with an Iron core. the landscape of the most habited areas is mostly Mountainous, or hilly, in the northern area of the planet vast forests of pines introduced from earth have become invasive, competing with native species for nutrients, sun light, and water, around majour cities, most tress of the type Cypresse another species from earth. One must then talk about the animal life, for one many species have been introduced from earth, most notably cows, Pigs, Chickens, Earth fish et cetera, however there are native animals, which are viewed as acceptable from the populace such as the Dracoavis striatarubrum, a reptillian of sorts, with a thick scaled hide, and much of the characteristics of the Kimono Dragon, however the main distinguishing feature of this animal is the webbing between the front bipedal limbs and the abdomen, which allows it a short time of flight by gliding, this characteristic has let the locals likened it to the Dragons of the European mythos, in fact hunters of this dangerous beat often refer to themselves as "Knights of saint George.

Finally one must talk about the population aspect. The cities of Europa are generally well spread out, generally the cities has common names of old earth cities, the Capital being in multiple tongues, but most commonly in Sol common New Rome, chosen due to the unifying factor Rome had played in Europe during the history of Old Earth. New Rome is a massive city with a population of 6,000,000 in the city proper, and 13,000,000 or around 10% of the worlds population, The cities core is built in the style of modernity that the original colonizers brought with them, however as time progressed it has generally become more based upon technological aestheticism, with some spats of Neo classical buildings in the Older quarters, a great example is the Church of Saint Mauritius and Francis of Assisi, the Location of the Popes new temporal residence, after the fall of Earth. It is in this city that the massive Royal palace is located as well as most other government agencies. on another note, the law and order must be evaluated as well, for Europe the pure has plenty of crime, mostly from organizations such as the Nostra 'Ndrangheta di Cammora a massive syndicate of (Mostly) Latinate speaking Europans, who control around 1% of the GDP of the planet.In recent years this has become a problem due to the hard economic times the planet has been facing. Terrorism is also, unfortunately a problem many groups still are active in Europa, for example the RLEL (Republican left for Equality and liberty) a republican terrorist group bent on the overthrowing of the monarchy an the formation of a Socialist state, the RLEL are mostly popular in the Marches an area of barren mountains filled with the Ultra-poor of the world, who symphasize with the dissatisfaction of the group.

As a heads up, this will need 6-8 'buy-ins', including your own.

I Thought very Autonomous regions of Sol are 5-6 Buy-ins?

Well maybe if I read my own requirements I'd see that. Yea, you're right. 5-6 ya need.

[Dea Tacita]

I think table means you need 5-6 people voting +1

[Vittorio Giurifiglio]

I think table means you need 5-6 people voting +1

No no, what table explained in the thread he posted was you needed like 6 people to have a character I think, unless i misread.

[Tablespoon]

Someone pretty much just need to say in this thread "I will make a character from here"

[Dea Tacita]

OH, okey-day. I certainty would.

[Guest Marlon Phoenix]

I'd make a character from here. Possibly Greg Ryan!

[Vittorio Giurifiglio]

I'd make a character from here. Possibly Greg Ryan!

I'm Guessing he's a Brit?

[TishinaStalker]

I would probably make a character from here. Maybe Integra Langley or my Lab Assistant.

Space English, yes. At least in vocabulary and mannerisms.

The name of this faction seems way too flowery. It could easily just be the NEU, not requiring mention of royalties and new orders. Also, I'm somewhat against the create of large factions just for small handful of people to base backstories in. It creates a need for the rest of us lore writers to justify exactly why it exists, and cater for it by changing details and ultimately upsetting balances.

1.)NEU is better (I was exhausted when I made the name so this is noted.) Plus it's new in German.

2.)It's one system among a hundred Billion, large is not the word for it.

3.)Pretty simple Europeans-Especially Latinate and southern Europeans move to a system, set up colonies and Bam! were done.

There's several thousand inhabited systems of note. There's fewer systems with pops over a few million. Any star system with hundreds of millions or more is a major population center.

3.)Pretty simple Europeans-Especially Latinate and southern Europeans move to a system, set up colonies and Bam! were done.

But why kingdoms?

Because it was the Vision of the founder? he set up the Judicial and Legislature of the Colonies and thus had free range.

[Skull132]

Well, this is pleasant. My initial reply was lost.

Okay, might I suggest you look at the already existant lore and see if this would suit your character(s), instead of creating your new thing? I'll get around to why I'm asking this towards the end, first, let's look at a few alternatives.

 

• Luna -- Probably the best fit for this. The Luna is a very mixed bag, as far as my understanding goes, with large parts of it dedicated to salvaging and a more survivalist mentality. However, there exists a very wealthy minority, who occupy some of the biodomes and whatever else is inhabitable there. It wouldn't be that far fetched to imagine that some of the adhere to the old world values more closely than some of the others. Beyond that, due to them being a minority it isn't that hard to imagine them having a few unions, so to speak.
• Eridani Corporate Federation -- This may not be as fitting of an alternative, but it is still one that should cater to most of what you seem to be after. The ECF houses a very wealthy set of corporate leaders, intellectuals and success stories, who mainly reside in cities such as Diamon and the capital of Oran. However, they may not be wealthy by heritage, which you seem to be after, and would probably not really care for old world values as much as the inhabitants of Luna.

 

Now, why am I suggesting you do this?

Okay, let me paint you a picture: everyone has a faction or a world to house their technically minority representative characters. Great, right? Everyone has their own piece of the lore, their own corner of the universe! Err, except, why do we need lore in the first place, then? If everyone gets to create what they want, why do we need a consolidated set of writings?

So, here's the deal: in my eyes, and note that Tablespoon's vision may differ from mine, these applications are meant to give the players a chance to flesh out the existing universe, as opposed to creating an entirely new chunk. Organizations, hospitals, schools, movements, religions, ecetera. All of it can be used to flesh out what already is there, and make it more useable, and in the end, more populated by players.

So, please, have a consideration for what I wrote up, and go from there.

Yes everyone does have a Faction to house a Minority even the official lore does, So I see not why a mind you not very populated European tiny Section (65 mil on Novo Italia, 25 mil on New Britannia,10 Mil on the French one, 23 mil on the German,5 mil on Spanish planet and 900,000 on the Greek moon adding up to 117,900,000 less than the populations of Modern Brazil, the United states, Russia, and only slightly more than Egypt) would exist when we have Indian (This is extremely generalizing so sorry if I offend anyone) Systems, Arabic Systems etc...As for the more populated par, I have already got like 3 of the required 6 buy ins anyhow, so obviously the player population is not quite a bit of a problem considering the vast amount of both Anglosphere and European characters.

[Rusty Shackleford]

Vitt, buy-ins do not garuntee that we will add it to the lore. Ultimately, we as the lore developers have to make the decision as to whether or not it makes sense in the context of the server's lore. We've already had way too many problems with contradictions and ultrasnowflakey factions, and we do not need to keep adding to the mountain of shit to iron out. Skull is right. You should be trying to flesh out currently existing factions and systems rather than going off and making up your own as a plot device for a character.

Nor did I say that Rusty, if you would please read my words more carefully, I stated against the Population thing, And what am I to flesh out? os there already a European filled planet?

[Rusty Shackleford]

Quit thinking in nationalistic terms. Planets are going to be diverse places, especially the populated ones, with their cities being veritable metropolitan melting pots.

Did I at any point say that they would be 100% that ethnicity? No, I said they would European in Ruler ship and culture.

Not even Switzerland is 100% swiss, it would be silly to think it would be 100% one ethnicity. No necessarily, think of Russia 100 and something million mostly Russian, Nothing is black in white in EThno-Cultural terms. And XD your asking a Ultra-nationalist Fascist to not think in Nationalistic terms.

That was sarcasm, Vittorio. Very heavy sarcasm. I mind because doing what I sarcastically said we would do would completely undermine the purpose of having consolidated lore and it would, to a degree, be unrealistic.

Further more, I see that you did not actually consider my alternatives nor my offer. Simply blasted through and continued your own spiel. Disappointing.

[Gollee]

serious question. Why would all the various european countries, that honestly, don't like each other incredibly much, unite under a single monarch? When most of them are now democracies, and the EU is a comittee?

You have no idea what I have considered nor thought of and I would like if you stop insinuating what I have and have not done.

Explain to me how it would be unrealistic,
