Diversa Pars (Map Game)

Welcome to the Diversa Pars  Map Game! In Latin, Diversa Pars means "T he Reverse Side", and that is what this map game is all about. Basically, everything is exactly as it is in our timeline, except for items referencing history. Every nation and place exists, and acts the same as in OTL. However, it is our job to explain how these countries were formed, and what came before them. For example, say the city of Brasilia is the capital of Brazil because the former capital was destroyed in a war and is now swallowed up by the coastal Brazilian rainforest. If you claim a year, you have to explain the events happening during that year, and why they happened. If you end a war in your turn, then the person with the previous year has to explain what happens in that war. To claim a turn, just add yourself to the list. If you are planning on claiming in the future, or are playing already, add yourself to the players list.

Rules

 * History will get stranger as you go farther back.
 * You may claim a turn in advance of the last turn if you are working on it by putting your name next to the next turn heading. (Ex: The year 1950 is finished, I may claim 1949 and work on it free from the fear that someone will make 1949 before you).
 * You cannot claim again if you have taken a turn two or less posters previously unless one day has passed without any claims.
 * No ASB Content. Mods may remove turns with ASB. Also, sometimes years (or decades or whole eras) may have long stretches of time where little happens for you to write about. That's history and it's okay.
 * Respect other players' wishes. You may not agree with them on the way the game will go but please don't turn it into a massive argument and please don't let it spill out onto the page for this game. Keep it to the talk page or the chat.
 * If someone alluded to an earlier event, when that time comes around, try to have it come about (e.g. someone hinted a massive battle outside Mumbai in the 1860s fifty turns earlier).
 * If you are going to foreshadow something, please make it relatively ambiguous. Don't say the exact year if it's 80 turns away.
 * Use .png format for the map only.
 * Edit the previous map, do not make a new one.
 * The map should be a 650 px thumbnail aligned to the center.
 * A map must be posted every turn.
 * There are plans for the future turns posted on the chat page, so please read up on those before you take your turn.
 * The Owner may revoke other moderator decisions.
 * Mods have the ability to delete ASB posts.
 * Post the map to the latest turn in the map category and change the year to the latest year.

Year Claiming
You can only claim turns after the one that's taken. No reserving the year 2006 for yourself when 2009 is open! And be sure to respect the previous turn, and follow through with any of the hints presented in them. Make sure to link your name to your user profile. If you do not make your turn 24 hours after it becomes your turn, you will be skipped. '''We are testing a new turn claim system, so for the time being, the current system will be frozen. If the new turn system doesn't work out, we will revert it back to this one.'''

Bans
None as of right now!

1999
Americas


 * Bolivia finally leaves Argentina's sphere of influence after being under its influence for seven years after the end of the South American War.
 * The Republic of Deseret is added as a territory to the United States, after years of influence from the United States.

Europe


 * Yugoslavia, Romania and Anatolia defeat the Balkan People's Republic in violent war, the successful allies gain substantial land, from the PRA. In the process much strain is put on the already disunited Yugoslavia as it had taken the major brunt of the casualties in the war and resentment forms against the government.

Asia and Australia


 * Indonesia continues to fight Papua New Guinea, but find they are being pushed back by Papuan forces.

Africa


 * The Boko Harram continue to fight with the Nigerian government and some of the most intensive fighting occurs this year.

1998
Americas and Australia

Africa


 * Boko Haram pulls out of the neighboring countries of Nigeria, as they are slowly being pushed back by UN forces.
 * Italy frees Chad and Darfur, after protests rock the region.
 * Spain gives North Angola to its southern counterpart. South Angola renames itself Angola.

Europe


 * The Federal Republic of Baltica disintegrates peacefully, into Lithuania and Latvia.

Asia


 * The Republic of West India reluctantly agrees to join India, after they face war with China.



1997
Americas
 * The biggest event of the year is the formation of the United States of America by New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. The first act of the new nation is the invasion and annexation of Dakota.
 * After three years of fighting Uruguay gains independence from Argentina.
 * Okay, I call bullshit. We agreed that the USA would be formed in WW2. And Uruguay is a vassal of Argentina.
 * If mods won't fix this, then I will. I don't care if I am not a mod, I just can't stand it when people in this game start telling others not to touch something for a few years. It is getting annoying. What's more, the USA could not have influenced Arizona in such a short span of time.
 * Fuck you. I'm reporting this. And uncrossing it.

Europe


 * Debates in Baltica begin regarding independence for Lithuania and Latvia.
 * Danish forces are pushed back by Norway, resulting in a peace treaty.
 * Iceland gets independence after a referendum.
 * Hungary joins the EU.

Asia


 * The UN demands that the Arabia cedes its oppression of the Jews, Christians and homosexuals. The Arabia ignores this, creating civil unrest in Israel
 * In response of West India's embargo of China, China mobilizes its troops on the border.

Africa


 * The UN intervention works well and Boko Haram suffers many losses.
 * Egypt secedes from Arabia.
 * We did have plans for Egypt to be in a union with Sudan, but we can make this work. Also, it's called Arabia, not the Arab Union.

1996
Americas


 * The United States celebrates the 50th anniversary of its formation. It continues its influence over Arizona.
 * In the Dixieland Confederation, a massive rally by CSA nationalists is put down in Atlanta. The rally was made to mark the collapse of the CSA during the Second World War, and many who took part wish to re-establish the CSA. The movement for this is small, however, but still causes concern in the USA.

Europe
 * Ethnic Latvians begin demanding independence from Baltica.
 * Denmark invades Norway, in move condemned by the UN. Norwegian forces fight to keep the Danes from Oslo.
 * Iceland demands independence.
 * The Northern Irish War finally ends, with the Treaty of Belfast ending the decade long fighting between the IRA and the British Government. An official estimate of the conflict revels that as many as 500,000 people may have lost their lives in the bloody fighting. This shocks the world, and a new form of slang, "going to Northern Ireland" is born.

Asia Africa
 * Indonesia invades Papua New Guinea. Heavy fighting begins across the islands as the two nations struggle to gain the upper hand over the other. Russia supports Indonesia.
 * West India embargo's China due to the invasion of Tibet. Several Tibetans flee to West India.
 * Following the end of the Kashmir-India, India takes over Kashmir.
 * Egypt begins to demand independence from Arabia. This results in riots and mass killings.
 * Boko Haram is steadily being defeated by the UN following its intervention.
 * Ethiopia invades Somalia. This results in the various factions fighting the country putting aside their differences to battle the common enemy.

Discussion
'''Mods, this turn does not follow the events of the last turn. Please care to respond as you should. And Spartian thinks he is a mod, as he is crossing things out. He has also done this in several other map games(mainly on MGW). '''

'''I am protesting against the whole 'don't touch this nation, I am using it,' as it stops other people from really using their ideas. Like, how does Ohio beat Britain in the Battle of Chicago? '''

Ohio? '''Britain? Wut? And besides, my request was done one year before my turn. So it wouldn't matter much, especially as the person before didn't do anything important with the US. Also, logic? So because my plans contradict yours, and thus you can't use your plans which isn't fair I just have to abort my plans? And that is fair? I have to let go of my plans because you don't want that? News for you buddy, world doesn't work that way. '''

'''My plans were confirmed by the 2010 turn. Battle of Chicago, and all that? DUH? As you have made the USA in 1997, it was not there for WW2. I assume Ohio has Chicago? Well then, that means that there is no way Ohio could have beaten Britain. It would have to be a newly formed USA. And just because there is a CSA, DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT IS THE EXACT SAME AS OTL. It is way different. I would go on about it, but no. My plan has been in place longer then yours. Nuff said. '''

'''Your plan has been in place longer? How do you know? How do you know when I got my idea? And why do you think you have the authority to cross things out? Because you had no choice? Don't be a fool. '''

'''Spar, this is your second warning. It clearly says in the rules that only mods can cross out things, and I stated that we can make Sean's previous turn work. You could have settled this much better than you did, and I advise you to fix the turn that you made. Upvoteanthology'''  ( Talk | Sandbox )

'''Why do I have to fix it? I got my plan rolling first. And what exactly needs correcting? '''

'''Actually, I understand. Sorry for the inconvenience. Upvoteanthology ( Talk | Sandbox )'''

Several other clashes happen where a lot of Irish nationalists perish, ending the ceasefire that was established just a month ago and continuing the fighting.

North America


 * The last survivor of the Battle of Chicago, where Britain and the USA fought, dies in Columbus two days after the 50th anniversary of that battle. He was notorious for his statements against the USA, claiming that New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio were not united at all, but only acted to do so to fight the fascists, a claim that the US has never acknowledged

Asia


 * Russia continues its invasion of Iran.

Africa


 * South Africa falls apart after six years of civil war. They lose control of Lesotho, Swaziland, Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe.

Spar's Rant
'''I know I'm gonna get whining especially over the Ireland event from a user who will remain unnamed, but please refrain from that. I'm not breaking plans, I'm not doing ASB stuff. And also, just a final notice, the canceling of my event has been greatly unjust. Especially since the argument was that I can't reserve a nation for my own events, which means you are hypocrite as the other reason was that you had plans yourself. But I will end the rant here, as Upvote decided to give in to the whining of yet another unnamed user, and it won't matter much. Let's continue the game for the few turns it has left.'''

'''Funny, tech. Upvote, I would like to point out that some of this does not follow some parts of the game. Check through my turns.'''

'''How does this not follow the game? Northern Ireland is part of Britain, look at the most recent map. The South African nations I mentioned are independent next turn, again look at that map. Russia invading Iran was also mentioned by the person before me. And as for the Chicago survivor, it doesn't break anything. There is no problem here. Also, funny, not following your turn, where have I heard that before. '''

'''I've just read through Sean's turn, and it seems perfectly fine.  Upvoteanthology''' ( Talk | Sandbox )

'''One: there is a war going on in Northern Ireland. Two: check the time frame of the veteran's death. it does not match up at all with the USA. '''

'''Spar, you were right bout the death date. I did my math wrong. It was 50, not 60'''

'''We can not have these posts where we go multiple turns without having maps, it's very simple and easy. If you need help ask either me or Up. Having a map helps tell other players what's going on in the world. -  .....   Because I'm Just ... Too ... SSSWWWEEEEEETTT!!!'''
