Revival Proposal

[Sibboleth]

St Marks is almost certainly our main port. With all that that entails.

[bullmoose88]

How can I be part of this without being an MP? News Paper? Other function? If we're doing some sort of PR I have a great D'Hondt calculater in Excell, I'd be happy to help with that in some way.

I'd be more than happy to have you assist the royal family and assist me should I be given GM responsibilities.

Hmm if you don't feel like being responsible for generating elections, I could be some sort of Indipendant Administrative Election Agency/Pollster. But I'm willing to assist the Crown and the GM in any way his majesty wishes.  

If the King is also the GM, I would estatic to have someone assist me with elections.  You'd be the main guy running them but I'd like to help outside the realm of voting system number crunching.

If the GM is a person independent of the crown, I'd still be happy to have you assist me in my "royal duties."

If someone would like to help me figure out Marksland, it'd be much appreciated.

What kind of things would you like... er... figuring out?

Oh, all sorts of things. History, perhaps, or demographics, or the like. Perhaps some of those pretty maps you've made, too. Tommy's had a nice start.

[lilTommy]

Hope this works...Couple maps, let me know what you think of this topographic map:



Bronselands Counties, took teh advice and tried to anglo-them up some, but they are mostly old norse based names:



Bronseland Counties (black) and Councils (grey) and which party controls or is the largest party/ Then followed the Pitfarris example and made one which showed which is controlled by the left or right:

[afleitch]

Very, very good work. The topography for Pitfarris is spot on too. Really like the political maps too.

Thanks! i remember, think it was you Al, that mentioned Pitfarris was mountainous on the eastern coast.

Also, it leads me to why Fisky as a small population, since most of the south is very mountainous, i would say Antillas largest mountain perhaps lies there.

Bronseland comes across very Nordic feeling, Heavily left in the mountains (mining and isolation breads comunalism at times) area and strong for the right on the coasts

[Sibboleth]

Yeah, I love the topographic map. More or less what I would have done as well.

Question about the political map: which parts of Vanaheimr are mining/ex-mining? (I'm presuming metal mining from the description, fwiw). Because if the (presumably sparsely population) western area is, then some justification for the strength of a e new left party with green associations would have to be thought up. Possibly you could make it old Communist territory and make it so that the remains of the old Communist Party (because there would have been one) folded into one of the predecessor parties of the Cooperative Party at some point. Though if that area is just remote and a little odd (perhaps still majority non-English speaking?) then there'd be no need for something as complicated.

Yeah, I can do that.

[Sibboleth]

As you can see, a large majority of the population live in the Middling hundred. Which has been spelt incorrectly on the map, but, hey. No. It has two spellings. There. I said so, so it is.

Thats exactly the idea i was going for, I am looking at copper if that makes sense to everyone, mining and becoming a new base for the oil industry too... The Cooperatives are really this tent for the older, smaller left and green left in the country. Thats why they do best in the far west, more mountainous old commie base... and the closer to the coast you get the more the Social Democrats grow in strength and even Popular Movement.... details coming... soon

Great map! look forward to hearing more about industries, history and all about Fellsands.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm feeling rather intimidated by the prettiness of the maps generated so far, and thus feel like any contribution on my part would be inferior to what has already been presented

[Sibboleth]

Decided to take the idea of anglicised Norse words literally. So Wapentakes for what were Hundreds in Peterford, and area names based on Yorkshire dialect words.

Ilikeverin... i wouldn't worry about it at all! i thought the same thing too and i'm pretty happy how mine turned out and i had a blast making them... go crazy! i'm sure your maps will be great. What region are you working on?

Attention to all!! here is my thoughts on where Antilla lies in the North sea (yes now i'm map crazy)So its rather large, Almost the size of scotland, i think the location makes sense for the amount of Nordic influence as its in the middle of their historical shipping and colonizing (or raiding routes). And English/Scottish influence. Thoughts?

[Insula Dei]

I have taken the liberty of composing a list of Atlasian governments so far, introducing 1947 as the date of Independence:

Prime Ministers of Antillia
1947-1948: Stephen Hammsveld (Provisional Unity Government)
1948-1952: Stephen Hammveld (SPP Majority)
1952-1955: Christian Svensson   (Liberal-PMP-supported by Independents)
1955-1959: Stephen Hammveld (SPP- Cooperative)
1959-1968: Ian Hollis (Liberal-PMP-NPP)
1968-1977: Duncan MacAdams (SPP Majority, SPP-Cooperative after 1972)
1977-1978: John  Ayles (Liberal-PMP-NPP- tolerated by Independents)
1978-1978: Duncan MacAdams (SPP-Cooperative-tolerated by PNP)
1978-1979: Sven Hareveld (Liberal -PMP -tolerated by PNP)
1979-1983: Graham De Soete (Liberal-PMP-NPP)
1983-1985: John Ayles (Liberal-PMP-NPP)
1985-1988: Robert MacDougal (SPP-Cooperative)
1988-1996: James Houtsman (SPP-Cooperative)
1996-2003: Herbert Wanbeck (Liberal-PMP-NPP)
2003-2007: Sven Hareveld (SPP-Liberal)
2007-…: Present government

Total (1947-2007):
SPP prime minister:  30 years
‘Rightwing’ prime ministers:  30 years

[lilTommy]

Nice job, one note:

1985-1988: Robert MacDougal (SPP-Cooperative)
1988-1996: James Houtsman (SPP-Cooperative)
 - i've made the Cooperatives a newer party then that, formed basically post-2000. BUT they were built by smaller left wing/green parties (merger between Greens, Agrarians, Socialist & Radical and Workers). So maybe this works as a substitute:

1985-1988: Robert MacDougal (SPP-Agrarian-Workers)
1988-1996: James Houtsman (SPP-Green-Agrarian)

I know just how you feel. And I offered to do Fiskby!

YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES

Thank you. Pitfarris is at the right place to have been gifted to Scotland.

Bronseland Counties (black) and Councils (grey) and which party controls or is the largest party/ Then followed the Pitfarris example and made one which showed which is controlled by the left or right:

Another map, Bronseland has about 20% of the region as a whole who speak Nordansk, mostly in Vanaheimr and Sorland in the north, but pockets in the south and coast. Hvite Dalen in the west and Ashirhammer are heavy english speaking areas.

[afleitch]

Come on people We're almost there. Keep it going.

What else needs to be done?

Let's get government structure sorted, but keep the debate going in the Parliament trhead as a taster for the game.

[bullmoose88]

Another recommendation, a non-partisan commission of you guys (I could help too) could come together and decide what stuff is in effect (our own version of the Magna Carta, any bills regarding an upper chamber/the church if any...things limiting my power, succession acts etc....all that sort of fun stuff) at the start.

[Swedish Cheese]

Anyone working on Lindsay? If yes I'd be happy to help, if no I'd love to take it on. I have a special love for agricultural regions.

[lilTommy]

GO for it! I've been looking forward to seeing how the most heavily english of Antilla's region is going to turn out.

Also hoping to see some more details about Marksland and Fiskby, my Nordic-brothers-from-another-country so to speak

[Sibboleth]

Was going to post some stuff later today, maybe.
