Imperial Powers (Map Game)

**Note: I'm not good at making maps and I need a skilled mapmaker. If you would like to help volunteer on the talk page. Thank you.**

**Also Note: Not to be confused with the timeline Imperial Powers.**

In the years leading up to the first world war various powers competed for global hegemony and to create the largest empire possible. These dreams were shattered in World War One, the empires were weakened, even the victors suffered a price and the balance started to tip away from Europe. But now you get to command these nations to either success or failure.

## Rules

* The result of every of invasion attack will be decided by an algorithm. See Imperial Powers Algorithm. Since the algorithm isn't complete yet the moderators will decide the outcomes of every war for the time being. Players can report bias if they believe the moderators are biased in their decisions.
* Leagues, Confederations etc. can be formed **within reason**, rather it be cultural or political similarities. However military alliances can be between any two or more nations.
* You can enact reforms in your country that are either political or limited social. However you cannot change the state itself (e. g. Making Buddhism the national religion of the Ottoman Empire).
* No profanity (swearing or cussing).
* You cannot control more then one country (unless they are client states).
* There is only one map maker. Maps will be created every two game years.
* Each turn is 24 hours long starting at 8:30 AM UTC. Every turn is six months long in game time.
* Have fun!
