Plus I think TC is dropping Scottland although I could be wrong.
If this is true, I'd like to consider taking control of Scotland in place of France.
:o France gone (!)

This is shaping up to be quite the shake up.

Well, there's a couple factors here...

1) I've been absent for a long time, and picking things up again with a fresh slate might make things a little more fun.

2) I've been reading a lot of books lately, and my interests have been shifting. Playing a British country would be a lot of fun

Lans, if Scotland were to collapse, and I were to remake it, wouldn't the opportunity for good RP still stand? After all, a 4-power scramble has promise. Much like last time.... :P

I am indeed winding down my Scotland RP's soon and dropping Scotland.

Splendid. I wish to switch to Scotland, but I'd like to ask if anybody would like to take over France?

Well I'd happily retake Southern France, though I don't know if NRE would approve since I've taken so much other land.

edit:
I love the empire too much, but there is a part of me that would like to play this state.

What else could we do with France, RP-wise?

I'd be very interested in any sort of finale RP. A patchwork ending, in which France is divided would be good as well. It may make sense if my Scotland were to maintain Brittany, or some part of France. I'd prefer someone take France in its entirety, but if that's impossible, than division works just dandy.

How would Scotland go down? Internal fighting due to the lack of an heir?

For the TO, if no one wants it, Venice would be happy to destroy it for you. While the TO is stronger than Venice, the Venetians are allied with the Romans. That should level the field a bit.

If France were to disappear, how would it happen? The easiest way would probably be to have their rivals, the Romans end the rivalry for good through war. IMO, it would make an interesting story for a political party to arise (if there isn't already one) that wants France to return to it's feudalistic origins. When that party rises to power, France would fall apart.

In regards to France, if and when it falls, would it be out of the question for Venice to obtain a bit of Aquitane :D ? As a part democracy, part monarchy, the people of the area would likely feel more welcome under Venetian jurisdiction than that of many other European nations. Sorry, just had to ask :rolleyes: .

If I play as Prussia it would just be a continuation of TO but likely converted to the Protestant religion.

If Leb were here, I'd suggest handing the TO over to him. As for France, I'd be interested in getting the ICBBC involved in its downfall.

I've wanted Venice to work with the bank for some time. This would be a perfect opportunity.

Ugghh... I don't want to give up the Empire (cause I've done that before and I'm just going to want it back and because I and others have worked a lot on it and love it), but damn I want to play Royal France now that it will be available. I would play it as monarchist, absolutist, and mostly loyal to the Roman Church, but with a twist, i.e., Gallicanism.

Doesn't the Empire count as a MidEast nation, or does it's branches count separately for each region it covers?

The appearance of a royal France could result from feudalism, right?

1) I don't know what the empire "officially" count as, but I have always considered it my nation in the Middle East, Africa, and Europe, as long as it has been in those regions. Wouldn't it be odd if it could hold so much land in Europe, and not count in Europe?

2) Yes, but feudal France is not the same as France of the absolute monarchy, though the one developed into the other. If I were to play France, I would want her whole and united, but that is unlikely, as I doubt I could pry myself from the empire.

You could let someone take over the Empire for a time while you play France until you get bored/want the Empire back. And, no, I'm not offering to do so. I've enough nations that I don't really do anything with.

Forget France, RD. You worked your ass off to get the Empire back to where it is. Someone else can handle it.

Scotland, Huesca and France out of the picture... my adversarial approach to Europe is dimming rapidly :lol:
Not necessarily out of the picture, just shuffling around some. We can always see where this ends up...

Also, to anyone interested in a royal France- there is currently a monarchist party that fared pretty well in the last elections. It advocates a return to the Lucien monarchy, though within the party there are factions regarding how much power should be put into the hands of the monarchy. If anyone would like to take over as France, then the introduction of a strong monarchy isn't absolutely out of the question.

As far as Scotland goes, I'll do a little research on what our IC Scotland is like. Just a heads up, though, to everyone in the Isles- things will surely be shaken up. If the last emergence of Scotland was exciting, then what I have in mind will be huge. I guarantee it. B)

As far as I know, I've been the only nation to control Scotland(Other than TC's little attempt), and I've been on these forums for 5 years.

Because you said you were going to do research on what IC Scotland was like - his point was that other than TC's Scotland, there was only Menhad before that, so that will be the extent of your research.

RP opportunity is rich, and reading Victorian-era novels has made me want to try something British. Scotland is the next best thing.

Also, it begins.... now.
