NOTE: This is not for a Role-play game, this is a forum game.
Welcome to the Allure Archipelago!
Known for it's spectacular architecture, picturesque beaches, and stunning nature, this place is calm, and peaceful, but the waves at the beaches are large and daring for surfers, the waves can get up to 20 feet high, although this rarely happens.
The architecture for overwater bungalows is an Adirondack style, as the lodges are very big. Many of the mansions in the Allure archipelago have a Richardsonian Romanesque, and many of the regular houses and businesses are a Mediterranean style, making them a unique mix of architecture style. The president's personal home in the mountains of the island of Allure is a Prairie style home. The style is nicknamed the "Allure Architecture Style" because of the unique mix.
The island of Allure has 4 beaches: Allo Ma Cabo, which has crystal clear turquoise water, and the water is perfectly calm, and is perfect for snorkeling. The Maro Arc Beach, which has fast waves and turquoise water, and many wildlife. You will see at least one dolphin every day. Nu Na Cove, which is a huge half circle beach, with rocks to protect from incoming predators like sharks or an octopus [A rare large and omnivore species that only appears in one part of the Pacific] and there is Maha Ballo, which was voted one of the most eco-friendly beaches in the world, having perfectly white sand made of quartz and silica, and occasionally having natural recycling bins, which are emptied every week. The beach also has large waves and clear sea blue water.
The stunning nature is unique, because there is beautiful plateaus, large, untouched cliffs, many coves, large waterfalls, and large, beautiful forests. The Allure Spruce is only natural to the Allure archipelago and a few other islands outside of the archipelago. The Alo Mak Ecological Park is an important area of the island, it protects 300 tree species, and 250 plant species. They also protect 400 animal species and 275 insect species.
The island also includes the "7 star" hotel, Arch Al Toro Palm, which is a "7 star" luxury hotel for families, the island also features very nice locals and great Allure cuisine, which includes a mix of Italian, French, Mexican, and Fusion cuisine.
This civilization is virtually untouched by the wild, as it has very nice hiking trails, and much more to see.
You are the governor of one or two islands in the Allure archipelago, all the islands have untouched nature and beautiful beaches.

Rules:
1. Be realistic with your island, don't make it perfect land. I get that the island seems perfect, but it's just a coincidentally beautiful land.
2. Occasionally you will get some newspaper issues you might want to respond to.
3. Be respectful, and don't start any arguments.
4. Please, if you're just a troll, at least make it a good troll CS.
5. You may start alliances and MAYBE wars, I still have to decide that.
6. You must upgrade your island realistically.
7. Yeah, this is just a random rule.
8. Role play fairly, see below for examples.
Not to Do:
______ suddenly gets 1 trillion dollars of money due to being rated most beautiful.
To Do:

Island Name: Allure
Main Industry[s]: Tourism and Trade
Establishment Date: 1691
Island History: While Explorer Mato De Alluro was sailing around the Pacific, his ship shipwrecked on this majestic island. After seven months on the island, he eventually fixed his ship and sailed off, and telled people about his majestic journey. In 1728, the largest city, Madero was founded, and that's when ships started rolling in to the island. In 1774, the British King personally came to the Allure Archipelago for safety from the war. In 1775, there was one battle on the island, the battle of Madero, which resulted in 1/2 the city being destroyed. In 1992, the island officially became open to visitors and now is a beautiful and popular tourist destination.

Island Name: Chikino Tropical (Tro-pee-cal)
Main Industry[s]: Fishing, farming
Establishment Date: 1708
Island History: Chikino Tropical was an extremely important island, founded in 1708. It was founded by Chikino (it was all she went by), an adventurous explorer. It played several key roles in wars. In the Napoleonic War, it was a buffer for France; in World War I, it served as an Entente airfield and naval port, and in World War II it was an English training camp. However, there were several independent battles, like the Battle of Losnikos. During this battle, Fort Chikino was stressed by siege, until General Losnikos came with skirmisher reinforcements, and the defending forces with the skirmishers sandwiched the attackers, ending in a victory.

Civil Rights: 10. No slaves.
Political Freedoms: 6. Aristocrats are held very high in society, but to an extent citizens can run.

Island Name: Helvenia
Main Industry[s]: Tropical Wood/Fishing
Establishment Date: 1701
Island History: Helvenia is one of the poorer islands in the archipelago, discovered by Jakob von Helvan, an Austrian explorer. It's first settlement, Tulio, only started getting bigger by 1809, when tropical wood was used in factories in Europe. After the huge growth of Tulio, other settlements started settling all over the island and in 1872, a civil war emerged, the other settlements vying for power and independance. Helvenia won the war 5 years later but it was the first war Helvenia ever participated in (also the bloodiest) and made it an official country in the eyes or nearby countries. After the war, a new settlement was created to become the future capital, now Helven City.
Island's Capital: Helven City (On a bay in the Eastern Part of the island)
Island's Largest City: Tulio (On the southern tip of the bay where Helven City is located.)
Civil Rights: 7, there are a few slaves, but they are given food and a small shack to live in. Mostly only used for farming or construction.
Political Freedoms: 2, The island is run like an elective monarchy where the aristocrats get to vote a member from the von Helvan family, insuring that only the von Helvans get the "throne" unless they die out completely, currently ruled by Governor Karl II von Helvan
Economy: 5. Despite having tropical wood as it's main export, Helvenia is poor in almost everything else and has to import most of it's things.

(yay)
Island Name: Okanipa (Oh-kan-ee-pah)
Main Industry[s]: [tourism, fishing, trade, etc] Okanipa's main industry is tourism, with lumber and fishing following close behind.
Establishment Date: [nothing before 1650] Okanipa was established in 1742.
Island History: [At least make it 1-2 paragraphs and include establishment, founding, possible battles, city founding, etc] Okanipa was originally a part of Trirak, (Tri-rach) a flourishing country located just above Antartica. While Okanipa was above it by a lot, (geographically) the members suffered. Slave owners had run out of slaves to find in Trirak, so they went to Okanipa to capture more, and ships returned back to Trirak with the slaves. Eventually, the remaining Okanipans started a revolt called "The Okanipan Freedom". This revolt came to Trirak, doing as much as they could to win freedom.
This led to the bloodshed known as "The Battle of Trirak". Eventually, some citizens of Trirak joined the revolt, and it resulted in an Okanipan win. The slaves were freed and returned to Okanipa, while Okanipa broke off of Trirak.
Years later, the island shifted farther away from Trirak. Okanipa had then established Naniro, the capital. Cities sprouted up like a farmer's crops in a warm spring, the largest being Karkin. Then, due to the heavy nature and beauty of the island, tourists came, and some showed the Okanipans how to develop even more, and they put this advice to good use. Soon, in 1757, Okanipa was recognized by many, due to it's industries like fishing, which introduced new fish, like the Okani Bluefish.
Island's Capital: Naniro
Island's Largest City: Karkin
Civil Rights: [1-10, 10 being lots of freedom and 1 being slaves everywhere] 8, some illegal slavery can be found in cities hardly enforcing rules.
Political Freedoms: [1-10, 10 being you can run, 1 being only aristrocrats can run] 7, although aristrocrats are prefered, citizens can still run.
Economy: [1-10, 10 being booming and 1 being terrible] 8, the lumber and fishing industries bring lots of money.

Island Name: Saint John Isle, or a full title 'Isle of Saint John'
Main Industry[s]: Mainly Manufacturing, with a stalling trade economy and substantial agriculture.
Establishment Date: 1650
Island History: Founded and growing from a population of Portuguese attempting to follow the route of Magellan, it became a common waystation for Portuguese vessels and even pirates operating in the Pacific ocean. The aristocracy of Saint John never really managed to take root, and thus it remained without one.
For the most part it remained out of conflicts, and remained unscaved through the world wars. In fact, it for the most part traded with anyone who arrived in the vast ports of Cursicon. But now, with its decreasing importance as a supply station and a reluctance to encourage tourism, Saint John Isle has mainly fallen out of the global economy. As such, it often is a bit stranger
Island's Capital: Cursicon,
Island's Largest City: Cursicon
Civil Rights: 10, due to more so being a trading post rather than plantations. Slavery was officially abolished in 1932
Political Freedoms: 10, the aristocats do not exist on the island of Saint John. Rather, it is a republic whose Governor is elected for one term of 20 years.
Economy: 4, though that for the most part is due to a decline as a waystation due to farther reaching ships. Therefore, it for the most part has turned to seclusion and attempted partial self-efficiency.
Also, 1. |
