The Spanish Empire holds sway over much of the lands of the New World. On the other side of the world, the Thirty Years War is finally concluded. Charles I has been executed and the English Commonwealth has been proclaimed. As all of Europe and especially the states of the Holy Roman Empire struggle to recover from this devastating conflict, new opportunities arise in the New World.

We welcome you to the Saga of Libera et Impera! Starting in 1630 AD, this is the dawn of the modern world. The Swedish Empire under the prolific ruler, Gustavus Adolphus, the "Lion of the North" is just about to enter into the wider European conflict, the Thirty Years' War, which can potentially defy the dominance of the Habsburgs, unbeknownst to the Holy Roman Emperor. The Ottoman Empire at its apex dominates the Muslim world, while the Persian Safavid dynasty is still reeling from the loss of Mesopotamia and Western Caucasus, with the Qing dynasty consolidating their control over China proper after recently claiming the Mandate of Heaven. Make it count. It is a turbulent era; in other words, an era of change; an era in which power is cemented.

Wall of Shame[]

This list is for users currently prohibited from participating in the game.

All users currently on the wiki may play unless otherwise noted.

Banned Users[]

A ban from plausibility strikes lasts 30 days, after which the third strike is repealed and the banned player is unbanned. However, the newly unbanned player rejoins the game with two strikes, as a form of probation.

  • No players have yet been permanently banned

Banned temporarily[]

  • No players have yet been temporarily banned

Plausibility Strikes[]

Three strikes and you're out! Each strike resets after 30 years of the most recent strike.

Moderator Strikes[]

These are strikes for moderators and how they moderate. The same three strikes rules apply. If a moderator is banned from moderating, however, they can still play as their nation. Mod strikes can be delivered in one of three ways:

  1. If a sufficient number of players (more than one-half of all players voting) vote to give a moderator a strike.
  2. If I, Bear, give them a strike.
  3. If a majority of all mods (i.e., more than one-half of the total number of mods, excluding that moderator) vote to give a moderator a strike.

Moderators can be given strikes for the following reasons:

  1. Exhibiting bias that would benefit the nation they are playing.
  2. Exhibiting bias that would negatively affect a player they have a personal dispute with.
  3. Making a ruling that contradicts a proven fact from OTL or an established fact from earlier in the game.
  4. Overruling a decision of a majority of moderators.

Note on Mod Events[]
