Talk:Olympic Games (Principia Moderni III Map Game)

Proposals
Proposals MUST be proposed eight (8) years before they take place to ensure proper voting time and preparation.

1896

 * Madrid, Spain - Madrid is the capital of the newly formed United Kingdom of Spain. Spain is a really cool country with lots of stuff and we're currently riding a high of doing everything well. This would be light work. Madrid is also a very central rail hub and Spain is loaded. Cool country cool people cool games.
 * Augsburg, Bavaria - Augsburg is the capital of the one of the most prosperous, wealthiest, and diverse regions in Europe. It is the capital of Bavaro-Germany and hosts the Diet and Chancellor's residence. Since mid-century, several projects and initiatives have been launched to modernize the city. Because of these initiatives, Augsburg has become a clean, healthy capital, and is a shining beacon for engineering and public work. The city is a prime location for the 1896 Olympics and will bring opportunity and wealth to the whole country.
 * Cuzco, Cuzco, Cuzco, Andea - The City of Cuzco, in the County of Cuzco, in the state of Cuzco, in the Peru Reigon of Andea is the largest city in the new world with a population of 1.6 million people. It is the most developed City in Hesperia and easily fit the athletes and spectators for the games. It is the wealthiest area in Andea, if not the entirty of Hesperia.

1900

 * New Munich, Flaschland, Union of Borealia: One of the most industrialized cities on the continent of Borealia, and showcaseing a variety of new technologies such as electrical power and kinetiscopes. Situated near the Snake River at the base of the Rocky Mountains, this city has access to a number of different climates and scenary. It holds the historic significance of housing the original New Munich Declaration, the single document which has forged unity and independence across all of the New World. This city is also the focal point of the first transcontinental railroad, which spans from San Francisco to Patropolis.
 * St. Patricksburg, Russian People's Socialist Republic: The core port and cultural capital of the Russian Peoples Socialist Repulic. It holds historic signifigance to Russia and most of Eastern Europe, and was one of the first cities to be liberated by the peoples popular revolution. This city is a perfect location for the celebration of the new century and the third installment of the olympic games.


 * Hamburg, Commonwealth Kingdom of Hamburg, United Germany: a deeply historical city, Hamburg has stood on the Elbe River for nearly 1100 years since its foundation by Charlemagne in 808. Today, the city of Hamburg is one of the largest cities in Europe, and possibly the largest port in Northern Europe. Heavily industrialized, Hamburg blast plenty of space to house international athletes, their teams, and suitable places to build sports arenas and centers. Hamburg is also directly linked to the future main line of the trans-European railroad, allowing for easy arrivals.


 * ​ Because this will allow for the same country to host for 2 games in a row (in the event Hamburg won) It has been decided to take Hamburg out of the Running for the 1900 Games.
 * Madrid, Spain - Spain will be even cooler then. Madrid is a big important city. All railways go to Madrid. Spain was the first nation to put forth the trans-European railway. Spain is a big patron of the arts, culture, and athleticism and all that stuff. We have boats and guns and our Prime Minister is Juan Scrawlando. The old Spain might not have been very popular but the new Spain is absolutely bitchin and doesn't want to rule the whole world.

RNG Idea
Since the way medals will be awarded will be by RNG, I had an idea of how to sway the RNG so the medals awarded is somewhat realistic.

The host nation of an olympiad typically does very well in terms of medals, while other powerful nations like the United States tend to do well regardless of where they are. As such, I created different levels from where the numbers would be randomly selected from. I suspect the main issue may well be the number of medals within each level rather than the concept itself, however I do welcome feedback regarding the concept and implimentation.
 * Host: 25-75
 * Powerful/Wealthy Nation: 20-60
 * Well off Nation: 15-19
 * Moderate Nation: 7-14
 * Small Nation: 3-6
 * Tiny/Poor Nation: 0-2

What category does India fall in? In any case, RNG seems like a good way to do it but I'd like to add in that talent maintains a key role in Olympiad and the 'tier' of a nation should not significantly affect the medals won. For example, in the 2014 Sochi Olympics, Norway won 26 medals whereas France won 15 medals. Hence, it would be incorrect to obtain medals solely based off the 'Tier' which one nation belongs to. Perhaps, add something to it to make up for the tiers.

Perhaps I am just overreacting in regards to the PM3 Olympics. ♣There is no good or evil: only power and those too weak to seek it♣  15:51, June 6, 2015 (UTC)

True, although in that case that's because Sochi was a winter olympiad, where Norway obviously has better talent compared to France. I suppose we can make the tiers a combination of both talent regarding the sports and power as an actual country.

Request Admittance
The Grand Union of Finns, Balts and Slavs (Pskov, Eesti, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarussia)  requests the right to join either as a single unit, or as each constituent republic. Being able to send seperate teams for each republic (i.e. competing seperately), but having a single collective vote in the comittee is also acceptable.-Lx (leave me a message) 02:42, June 7, 2015 (UTC)

One nation, one vote, one team.

Why is Silesia not eligible to participate? 18:25, June 7, 2015 (UTC)

Because you're small, just got out of a war, and as in OTL the games are not that interesting right now and need to grow before the entire world can join. Wait a game or two and then you should be good.

Algonquia requests admittance, given that both of its neighbours participated in the last games, and its reasonable to expect that they would be fairly well known and somewhat popular. Shikata ga nai! 21:20, June 8, 2015 (UTC)
