So now that we have our "main characters" set up we need to agree on major details that would effect each of our global power.

GDP: 9.35 trillion Equestrian Bits
GDPPC: 87,350 Equestrian Bits

Technology Level: Cloud Computing, Thorium Reactors, Ion Engines, Advanced Robotics (2020's-2030's tech)
Major Exports: Military Arms, Aircraft Components, Steel, Titanium, Agricultural Products, Automobiles
Major Imports: Petroleum Products, Home Appliances, Luxury/Exotic Goods, Electronics, Aluminum, Heavy Machinery

Strengths:
Strict Environmental Regulation
Top Five Highest Incomes per Capita
Trade Surplus & Bullish Economy

Weaknesses:
Low Social Harmony (created by high immigration & nationalism)
High Corruption (CPI 44)
Separatism in Northern Provinces

Neutral Components:
Most Major Corporations per Capita
Small Government (Semi-Constitutional Monarchy)
Deflated Currency (1 Reformed Sterling Pound = 1.89 Equestrian Bits)

Also... any ideas for a world map?

The Hidden Hive of Ventaion:

Population: 10,000,000
GDP: 23.4 billion Equestrian Bits
GDPPC: 2,340 Equestrian Bits
HDI: 0.340
Technology Level: Post-Tribal, Technological Revolution, Sterling Engines, Basic Science. (Newly founded Nation.)
Major Exports: Honey, Cheese, Coal, Gemstones.
Major Imports: Wheat, Metals.

Strengths:
Military History

Weaknesses:

Not, bad.

I claim right top!

Bottom continent please.

Nice map!

May I have that landmass that is to the bottom left of Armetesia and directly left of the west Armetesia colonies?

Edit: Thanks! Its in the exact spot I wanted! I really am looking forward to this Reboot!

Biiiig. I like it, though could you move the capital to one of the islands?

Gotcha

Eh, so we all seem to have made some progress on our factbooks... and we have the map... shall we start now?

Wait what? What's going on?
I just assumed things were going to happen randomly like they usually do.

Well then lets change to formula and see what planning does for the RP

I'm fairly certain that most people liked the silliness of the character-focused RPs; RPs on a national scale tend to be more standard and boring.
Bah, whatever, I guess I'll app.

Empire of the Stars

Population, GDP, GDPPC:<honestly fairly irrelevant> (also too lazy to figure it out)
HDI: .930
Technology Level: FanT (PMT except magic)
Major Exports: Transportation (Motor vehicles, aeronautics), Magical Technology.
Major Imports: Raw materials, crystals.

Strengths:
Intensive citizen loyalty forged by benevolence and inclusiveness.
High degrees of magical study attained by majority of population, regardless of race.

Weaknesses:
Bicameral legislature causes consistent governmental indecision, leading to extended law creation.
Military leaves much to be desired.  Most national defense happens on a provincial scale, and wars are often finished before they start with <alicorn lasers>. (honestly imagine if S4 finale Twilight fought in a war)

Neutral Components:
Empire separated into provinces.

Oh and something like this https://puu.sh/soc2S/776724589b.jpg
Basically that area divided into maybe 4 or 5 provinces.

Imma just quip this quickly.

Don't worry, most of the RP will still be character driven, were just trying to cut down on the total character anarchy (it gets old quickly). Putting up parameters of a country's potential constrains one ability for random asspulls that spoil the RP.

Actually, thats why I added Population, GDP etc. a nations manpower & wealth can be two major constraints that can limit options so that you will actually have to think about you're next move, for instance, in combat between two countries. Again, to keep this from turning into a godmodding mess like the RP's before.

Segway, you good with your position on the map?

Have I been doing stuff like that? I don't think I've been doing stuff like that.
I mean I do random asspulls with my characters that spoil their personal character arcs (I really need to think before RPing), but I haven't really conducted any business on a national scale afaik.

That sounds a lot like RP on a national scale.
Besides, does anyone ever win a war in an RP? Where's the fun in eliminating your enemy? Generally we just have nigh-endless stalemates resolved by the characters.
Again, RPing armies and national-scale wars isn't fun. (I mean, would you watch a TV show about just generals just sitting in a war room sending troops to different places?)

I probably would be, if I could see the map.
It's probably just school wifi being dumb.

Oh my god that's amazing.
How. How do you do this magic.
