Hello there. I just recently joined the community and one thing I have taken particular notice of is the cooperative history project. Which has brought questions into my head. How exactly does one go about fitting a new nation into the already ongoing lore Alterra? I was wondering if I could get some help with this before I go about writing up my National Factbook n' the like but here's some basic information I have that may give you guys a hand. - The Principality is a fairly new nation. Having formed in the early 1700s following a bloody and long civil war between numerous baronies. Since then, it has been ruled by the Mossdorf Dynasty, remaining an Absolute Monarchy, currently under the leadership of Crown Prince Eberhard Mossdorf. - If the country could, geographically and culturally be compared to a real life nation, it would be Switzerland. - I was thinking of taking the H4 region of Hesperia as my region, as it is the right size, and in a populated enough area that i could start on some Alterra related RP in time. Anyway. If people could give me some pointers or advice of any kind. That would be marvelous. Also, any good flag makers would be greatly appreciated!

You kinda just pick a spot and then wiggle your way in there until you're comfy... kinda like a cat getting into a random space to sleep. >.> I would suggest taking a look at the histories of neighboring nations and seeing if there was anything that could possibly tie into your history. Maybe at some point in history your nation broke off from another larger nation and then went through its own civil war before becoming established in the 1700's or however you choose to do it. Hopefully some others will be able to tell you if your intended plot was ever colonized or anything of that nature so you can possibly tie in some cultural influence or similarities if it suit you. |

Hmm.. Off the top of my head, I can think of a few things you'd have to think about if going for H4; You were probably a protectorate of Etat Libre Esprit before the great wat (although as he's now an NPC, you could probably get away with not being so). Check the Road to War and World War discussion threads under Modern History. Just North to you (from 18xx to 2011) was the UHAA, a sort of Warsaw Pact alliance with Laddneia (bingo) in charge. It collapsed recently an is now the DP, of Laddneia and Leraq. We were against ADATTA (the old colonial powers who were beggining to crumble) during the war, and you'd probably have received a lot of the attack as we tried to invade south. PM me if there's anything else more specific you want. |

Hmm... There is one reservation about requesting H4: a nation has already reserved it. However, that nation hasn't been on for a while, so... I would keep that in mind. However, the best way to find out about anything is to ask. We're pretty flexible.

My nation (Slostia) was also united during the 1700s, and is similar to Germany, so if you're trying to make a Switzerland, it's very possible that we interacted a lot during the past. And if you plan for your language to be German, we can work something out. |

@Slostia - Yes, we could indeed. Feel free to PM over here or TG me on NS ^^ Now, regarding the flag... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bandiera_del_Regno_di_Sicilia_4.svg ...Except replacing the red with orange and replacing the yellow with a light blue. Also, could I please have the two birds replaced with sort of dragon like figures? The colour and look of said dragons is entirely up to whomever decides to take up this task. ^^ |

I'll see what I can do. It's very reminiscent of the German principalities so it should fit nicely. |
