Hearts of Dankness
The Next and probably final Installment of the Victorian Roleplay Series, Starting from the “Victorian 1850” Roleplay round released in 2015, and continuing on with the “Victorian II: 1880 Onwards” Roleplay released in Early 2017. This Roleplaying round will carry on just as its predecessors, moving forward from the already established lore of the Victorian era alternate history universe, in which The Confederate States achieved victory against the Union, uniting America in a different form, while other powers such as Brazil shattered into various factions, to fall into civil strife. All in all, This universe maintains semi-realism in its essence, so certain events such as the Crimean War, dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, or the subsequent Warlord era of China and Russian Civil War will have still occurred, following real life lore.

- 2 Days (DE) is 1 Year (RP)
- NO Railguns
- NO GM usage is permitted, however I reserve the right to use GM to eradicate those who violate the rules. Mind you, I have the capacity for lots of Goldmark.

- Coalitions are to be “Empire Based” only unless specified otherwise, meaning, my coalition should be named the official name of my nation, have the official flag of my nation, and consist of me as well as my vassals and/or tributary states. I reserve the right to disband any coalitions not following the rules stated above.
- Gunther Isles belong to Germany and are off limits. While infrastructure may be built there, units may NOT be produced there and the territories are to be IGNORED in every way and form by all players. This is because they did not exist irl.

To limit/stop the formation of super alliances, I would like to ask you all to not form excessive alliances with those around you.
- Double Improved development system created by SgtAchaean
- Follow the Development system and note that they limit your technology.

If these peace talks are to fall through, the conflict may continue for another 7 in game days (3.5 years). If 15 in game days pass with no end to the war, the conflict will be forcibly ended by the admin.

Independence:
Applies for both vassals and colonies, which can now declare independence through two specific processes:
- Vassals/Colonies can primarily gain independence if allowed by the imperial overlord, ergo, nobody can simply “declare independence”.
- If Supported by the League of Nations, Vassals may declare independence from their overlord once every 50 years, at which point they will be at formal war with their overlord. If they are able to retain their capital province for 3.5 years (7 days) from the start of a LoN supported revolution, they will achieve full sovereignty.
- During this process, no other nation may declare war on the overlord in an effort to support the vassal nation, however they may provide arms and resources. These arms and resource materials cannot be loaned or returned to nations providing them.
