[Games] "Royal Dynasty" Congrats - Round 1
If you want to play, you can still sign up this round. In fact, you can pretty much join in whenever you like. Just make sure you go back and complete each of the rounds you might have missed.
Each of you is now the ruler of your own nation, the name of which I’ve picked for you (but you can go ahead and change it to whatever you want, actually). Incidentally, each of you is also a male. Choose a title, it can be anything you want – King, Emperor, Czar, Imperial Majesty, etc. Go crazy, be as serious or ridiculous as you like, use as many middle names as you see fit. For each of you, I’ve provided a list of names that would be appropriate for your nationality – but again, you’re completely free to name your monarch whatever your heart desires.
It’s totally not necessary – but it would make it a lot more fun for everyone – if you told us a little about your nation. Its history, its allies and/or rivals, its strengths and weaknesses, its geography, its customs, how your family came to power…the works.
For next round:
I need two numbers from you again, one between 1-10 and the other between 11-20.

Hi, can I play? My numbers would be 3 and 12.
DH [41]: His Gracious Majesty Emperor Friedrich Viktor Johannes von Østergaard III of the Glorious Empire of Auttenburg.
- For the next round I choose the nos. 6 & 19.
Here's a bit of background...
Despite its outward appearance as being the epitome of imperial spendour, much of the cold, mountainous nation of Auttenburg is sinking into an impoverished existance, following the collapse of the Old Empire of Klasar. It once controlled much of the continent on which Auttenburg resides. Although it still proudly carries the Old Empire's title of 'Glorious Empire' the territory of Auttenburg is but a remnant.
Emperor Friedrich III is the current head of the ancient von Østergaard dynasty, who once ruled the mighty Old Empire. Despite the comparatively small territory which it has been left with, the von Østergaards still pride themselves on being the Royal House who carry on the traditions of the long-gone Old Empire. Their power is still absolute and the people of Auttenburg still regard their Emperor as their supreme ruler and protector. He rules Auttenburg from the thousand-year-old Celestial Palace. It is a city within a city, a gleaming silver edifice dominating the land around it.
In the near future Friedrich III hopes to strengthen the economic position of his nation by re-forming long-lost trade and diplomatic relationships with both its neighbours and nations beyond the shores of the Continent of Klasar. Friedrich is very determined to father an heir to continue thousands of years of father-to-son succession, and who will continue his legacy of trying to reclaim some of his family's past glory.
Unlike his ancestors, Friedrich's foreign education and far-sightness has seem him recently change the Law of Succession by imperial decree to allow a first-born to take the throne no matter their gender. This would allow a Grand Imperial Princess to one day ascend to the throne as the first Ruling Empress of Auttenburg.
Whoops, that was a bit long and a little late LOL!

Nation: Assendorp
DH [46]:His Serene Highness Viktor Wilhelm Kasimir Georg Conrad von Haanraadts, Hereditary Prince of Assendorp
Assendorp is a small yet noble principality nestled between Slovenia, Croatia, Italy and the Adriatic Sea. Our terrain is very varied, including lakes, mountains and rocky coastlines. Winters are frosty and wet but our Summers are warm and our pure white sandy beaches attract the young and beautiful from all over Europe. Our capital city - Assendorp Town - is built on the top of several hills and looks out over the ocean. The town is known as being very bohemian, serving as home to many of the most well-respected artists and writers of today. Assendorp has a proud tradition of classical music and our Royal Opera House is considered to be one of the most magnificent buildings in Europe. The Ruling von Haanraadts family came to power 300 years ago and has managed to keep control all through a time when most other principalities have been dissolved and ansorbed into other countries. His Serene Highness Prince Viktor is the only surviving child of the late Prince Edward and has spent the majority of his 46 years of life gambling, having affairs left right and centre and generally being a layabout. However - after succeeding to the throne 4 months ago on the demise of his father - he is determined to clean his act up. He wants to settle down, find a nice wife and make his country proud.

Nation: Sokolov
DH [40]: Grand Duke Ivan Konstantin Pyotr Marcovic IV
Sokolov is a small island which was first inhabited by some German travellers (although some thought they are exiled criminals) in 1205, followed later by large groups of Russians and French in 1299. This caused several wars over one hundred years on the island between those who had settled there, but eventually in 1401 the first King was crowned, King Nikolai Henrik Pyotr I. He only had daughters, who married into noble families. His daughter Maria married Duke Aleksander Marcovic, who became the next king. He was later assasinated, but strong willed Maria was able to keep the country under control until her death five years later, when civil war broke out again when her sister Ekaterina fought for the throne over Maria's son Dimitri, now old enough to rule. Dimitri eventually won enough support for the throne, and his descendants have been ruling ever since.
The island is about the size of Great Britain, and has glorious sunshine during the summer so its tourists are great in number. Its main export is fruit, due to the many orchards in the south of the island. Up in the north there is a beautiful landscape full of hills and rivers, and gets a lot of money as it plays a part in lots of paintings and has even been a set in two Hollywood films. Its current flaws are over population in its three major cities and flooding every few years in the mainland.
Their main allies are France after a peace treaty in 1910 and they have a trading agreement with Japan, Australia and Great Britain. Currently politicians are trying to sign a peace agreement with Russia and the US.

Nation: Chlebek
DH [43]: The Grand Emperor Nikolai Aleksandr Konstantin Bartosz III
Chlebek is a very old nation near Russia and Poland, and the Bartosz family has been in the throne since the beginning. It is tradition in Chlebek for the youngest son to take the throne when his father steps down. The reason for this is because most Chlebekan emperors hold the throne for around 30 years. When the father steps down, the oldest sons are already aged, but the youngest son is still young enough to rule for 30 years. His Royal Highness Nikolai Bartosz became the emperor at the age of 35 and has held the throne for 8 years. His father, The Grand Duke Benedikt Leonid Pyotr Bartosz had to step down from being Emperor of Chlebek when he suffered from a stroke and became bound to a wheelchair. Nikolai's mother, The Grand Dutchess Aniela Krystyna Romana Bartosz, gave birth to 5 sons. Her oldest, The Grand Duke Vladimir Bartosz, was very jealous of Nikolai receiving the throne and tried to kill him in his sleep. Vladimir was exiled 7 years ago. The Chlebekan laws are held very highly and that is the reason for the overall lack of crime. Chlebek is known to be a very peaceful and friendly nation, but that does not mean that it is not very strict about tradition and rules.

Oh can I play.
I miss it too! I miss it a lot, really. I miss other people's countries and I had a lot planned out, there was going to be some whole Catherine de Medici stuff going on that corresponded to the history class I'm aiding for... sigh. I had all these excel documents and stuff.
Sigh. :(
Anyway anyway anyway I want to play :D Can I pick my country name? Can I be Cussia?
OH AND SOME ADVICE:
It's definitely way easier if you make them all keep the same ages and just do (control+F) to replace them all at once, because then you can keep up with who is eligible for marriage and who isn't.
Of course this isn't my congrats, so.

Nation: Cussia
DH [46]: His Royal Highness Klaus Benedikt von Shriek IV, King of Cussia, Duke of Barria and Westphalia
My numbers are 10 and 20.
Cussia was settled by tribal people known as the Kosshans for hundreds of years, but was conquered and civilized during the Vivarian invasions of the 900's. Once the Vivarians withdrew their occupation in 1121, the Cussians (Vivarian-influenced spelling) were left with a vacuum of power. Gradually, a feudal system emerged, along with an elaborate system of civil customs and constructs that give Cussia a distinct blend of tribal and Vivarian traditions. The King is the highest lord in the land. Under him are Lords, Dukes, Marquesses, Counts, Earls, and Barons. Serfs work the land and Knights fight for it. The religion, while it has many of the pagan characteristics of old Kosshan religions such as celebrating major feasts at the solstices, is nominally the same church of the Vivarians, and the clergy are part of the network of that church. Consequently, clergy are exempt from fiefdom and therefore from taxation.
I miss it too! I miss it a lot, really. I miss other people's countries and I had a lot planned out, there was going to be some whole Catherine de Medici stuff going on that corresponded to the history class I'm aiding for... sigh. I had all these excel documents and stuff.
Sigh. :(
Anyway anyway anyway I want to play :D Can I pick my country name? Can I be Cussia?
OH AND SOME ADVICE:
It's definitely way easier if you make them all keep the same ages and just do (control+F) to replace them all at once, because then you can keep up with who is eligible for marriage and who isn't.
Of course this isn't my congrats, so.

Nation: Cussia
DH [46]: His Royal Highness Klaus Benedikt von Shriek IV, King of Cussia, Duke of Barria and Westphalia
My numbers are 10 and 20.
Cussia was settled by tribal people known as the Kosshans for hundreds of years, but was conquered and civilized during the Vivarian invasions of the 900's. Once the Vivarians withdrew their occupation in 1121, the Cussians (Vivarian-influenced spelling) were left with a vacuum of power. Gradually, a feudal system emerged, along with an elaborate system of civil customs and constructs that give Cussia a distinct blend of tribal and Vivarian traditions. The King is the highest lord in the land. Under him are Lords, Dukes, Marquesses, Counts, Earls, and Barons. Serfs work the land and Knights fight for it. The religion, while it has many of the pagan characteristics of old Kosshan religions such as celebrating major feasts at the solstices, is nominally the same church of the Vivarians, and the clergy are part of the network of that church. Consequently, clergy are exempt from fiefdom and therefore from taxation.
Of course you can play!
After all, you are my inspiration. Thanks for the advice about the ages, but I'm pretty good with keeping up with them so I think (I hope!) I'll be all right. By the way, I liked reading your story. =) And yes, it was me who wrote, as you put it, the really intricate historical text. That's what you get when you're studying history in college, I guess.
I could actually use some help coming up with names for the nations. I'm OK with the family names, but for country names I'm drawing huge blanks. Anything Germanic, Gallic, and/or Slavic is style is totally welcome.

What I often do is type random words into some translation service until I find a few that I can combine or modify to make dignified country names. Also don't worry about subtlety.
For instance:
belly button | fish road | horse time | ugly feathers
Bauchnabel | fischt Straße | Pferd Zeit | hässliche Federn
Bauchnabel | Fischtstrasse | Pferzeit | Hässelferden | Hässliche | Ferderliche
Flower slap | arthritic rose | more time | hammer wish
Fleurir la gifle | la rose arthritique | plus de temps | le souhait de marteau
Fleurigillle | Arthritique | Plutemps | Templeux | Souhait | Marteau
Slavic ones are harder because of the different characters, I usually just modify Russian sounding things or play around with V's until I come up with something. But you can also play around with the Russian translators and try to work around the different characters.

Nation: Westenberg
DH [46]: His Majesty the Grand Duke Benedikt Johannes Wilhelm Friedrich von Clausen IV "The Scholar"
The nation of Westenberg, which nestled in the junction between Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic, breathed a sigh of relief 2 years ago when their ruler, the Grand Duke Rambert "The Tyrant", suddenly died. Since he died without issue, his younger and infinitely kinder brother, Benedikt, inherited the throne. Benedikt, who spent the days before he inherited the throne studying ancient manuscripts in languages long forgotten, has been loved by the people of Westenberg, who greatly value high education and being well read, since he was a child, and now as Grand Duke he rules with compassion and wisdom unseen since King Solomon. The people of Westenberg are so pleased that he has lifted the oppression that plagued them for nearly 15 years. Benedikt, however, is not to happy. He realizes that in all his years of studying, he forgot to tend to his own life and find a wife and have a family. Now that he is Grand Duke he is determined to find the perfect women to help him rule.

Sorry if I changed everything, but I was going for more of a French vibe than a Germanic one.

Nation: Descoteaux
DH [39]: Borne by Our Christ, and Appointed by the People, King Remy Etienne la Bastien de Sainte II
Descoteaux was discovered by a man who was exiled from his home. He never regretted his exile as it brought him to the new land which he considered his paradise. He quickly found himself alone on the land and declared it his own. Two years later, the discoverer of Descoteaux saw a woman swimming quite quickly towards the shores. He went to greet her and found she was fleeing from her opressive family. This is how the dynasty of Descoteaux began.
Geographically, Descoteaux has lovely mountains and cliffs as well as meadows and forests (of which are mostly decidious in nature). The country is surrounded by water on most sides. Descoteaux experiences winters, with lots of snow but rarely quite cold temperatures. The summer temperatures are never hot and hover in the 70 degree range.
Descoteaux is known for its literature, music, and art. The country is sutained on exports of those products, along with the export of fragrance, herbs and spices, as well as florals. Descoteaux is also well known for its architecture and many of its famous architects are commissioned for works in other countries.

Nation: Alterac
DH [44]: King Damien Gerard Romain Sebastien Luc Quentin Mathieu Lefebvre IV
1, 13
Alterac is a decently sized island off the coast of France, in the Bay of Biscay. No one really knew it existed until now, so it has no allies or enemies... yet. King Damien's family came to power after the original Omen movie arrived on the island. Everyone heard the devil boy's name was Damien, and they instantly surrendered power to King Damien's Great-Great Grandfather, Damien Gerard Romain Sebastien Luc Quentin Mathieu Lefebvre II (they believed he would have killed them otherwise). To this day, the Lefebvre's first born son is named Damien, and the islanders are completely unaware that the movie is made up. :D
The island itself is quite beautiful, with many rolling green hills. Villages are placed expertly at both the tops of hills, and in the valleys. When up hill children want to visit downhill friends, they lay on their sides, take aim, and roll, hoping they don't hit a tree on the way down.
The island is stuck in the past, though it exists in modern times. There are no cars, and the only forms of transportation are walking, rolling down hills, and bikes. None of these are very good for getting up hills, and King Damien is currently looking into hiring someone from afar to build a few ski lifts or gondolas.
