Basically similar to this one:

There were several other similar mapgames at the AH forums, but none after this one ever really caught on.  Anyone interested in trying one over here?

Excellent. I'll start a thread tonight.

[Kitteh]

How would this work? I don't have an account on AH so I can't see that thread.

Um....I think I accidentally deleted the thread while misclicking on my phone.  Is there a way to restore it?

This was the current map:

I don't think it can be easily restored, if at all.  Anyway, here is the entry I was working on.



Official Name(s) Choseon Empire 조선제국 (朝鮮帝國)
Commonly known as: Choseon
Territorial description: OTL Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Hainan, eastern Siberia, northeastern China, Micronesia, Hawaii, most of Alaska, western British Columbia
Government: Bureaucratic monarchy
Capital: Hanseon (OTL Seoul)
Head(s) of State: Yi Gim-jong
Head(s) of Government: Kim Ma-sil (First Minister of State), Wo Sang-ho (First Minister of War), Kim Jong-sen (First Minister of Harmony)
Population: 430 million
Religions: Neo-Confucianism (state religion) most others tolerated if they do not have a hierarchy outside the Empire. Hence Catholics who follow the Pope and Buddhists who follow the Dalai Lama face major restrictions, including the possibility of death if they seek converts. However there are state-approved Buddhist and Christian churches that are tolerated.
Languages: Korean (state language, 40% first language, 85% know it well enough to use),  Mandarin 30%, Japanese 15%, other 15%, Use of Choseongul (Hangul) script in publishing is generally mandatory for all languages, save ancient texts printed in their original script for historical or cultural purposes. Even those generally tend to be interlinear dual script, such as the authorized Choseongul version of the Quran (꾸란) with the Arabic text given in both the original Arabic script and the Choseongul script.
Ethnic groups: Korean 25%, Han Chinese 40%, Japanese 20%, other 15%
Level of Tech and Development: Medium-high.  New technology of a non-military nature is often delayed in adoption until an official standard is promulgated by the Ministry of State
Level of Freedom: Economic freedom is medium-high. Political freedom is medium as anyone can hope to enter the bureaucracy if they study the Neo-Confucian texts. Of the three First Ministers, only one is ethnically Korean. Religious freedom is medium-low.
Trends: Population is stable and even rising slightly which is unusual among developed countries as the Ministry of Harmony provides considerable assistance to child-raisers.
Founding date: 1392
History: Founded by Taejo Yi Seong-gye following the aftermath of the overthrow of the Goryeo Dynasty. Unlike in our timeline, the Japanese and Manchu invasions of the 16th century caused the country to follow an expansionist policy instead of an isolationist policy. Has been engaged in a cold war with Tuah for centuries that has occasionally turned hot.

I can repost, roughly, what I had already posted:

I emailed Dave to ask if he could restore the thread.  If he can't, I'll start a new thread.  I'm really sorry, everyone.

[afleitch]

Don't fret If we're playing this until all the white space is filled up we could just keep going. I'd quite like to run a long term game wheere you lead each nation in a sort of pretend UN/World government.

This looks fun....how do I start for those of us unfamiliar with the rules?

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

Here's, I think, what I had.

Official Name(s) Rheinischer Volksbund (Rhenian People's League)
Commonly known as: Rheinland/Rhenia
Territorial description: the Rhine basin, more or less
Government: large-parliament federal republic
Capital: Mainz
Head(s) of State: First Citisen* Bernd Göbel
Head(s) of Government: Prime Minister Clara Leuzinger
Population: 54 000 000
Religions: Pretty much eradicated by apist rule; the 10% or so that are religious nowadays (roughly one-half Christian and one-third Jewish) are almost entirely immigrants.
Languages/Ethnic Groups: German
Level of Tech and Development: Probably the one area in which apism did some good; among the two or three highest in the world.
Level of Freedom: high; Rhenians are pretty paranoid about anyone infringing on their freedoms.
Trends: Population is stable and even rising slightly which is unusual among developed countries as the Ministry of Harmony provides considerable assistance to child-raisers.
Founding date: 1867
History: The RVB was forged in the continent-engulfing chaos known, somewhat inaccurately, as the "Bloody Sixties"; the radically communitarian ideals that would later evolve into the philosophy of apism were a sort of come-together reaction to the marauding armies and anarchy that afflicted the area.
Apism continued its reign of terror for well over a century, but eventually could not continue to suppress the individualist ideas seeping in from outside, which resulted in a civil war, 1996-2001, which established a, to put it mildly, more liberal government.

* "Bürgermeister", which usually means "mayor" but literally means "master citisen", is the official title.
