- What is your nation's name? Vryland (officially, the Republic of Vryland). - Have you ever applied to Pardes before? No. - Do you role play any other nations? Not presently. - How big is your nation (or colony, if applicable) in terms of population? What sort of population density/overall landmass are you looking for? Population: c. 4 million Area: c. 400,000 km² Density: c. 10 / km² - Please Describe your nation. Vryland is an independent parliamentary republic predominantly populated by Afrikaners. Once a colony ruled by a foreign power, it came under the jurisdiction of a local power once that local power had declared independence. Gradually over several decades, Vryland wrestled home rule away from the local power before declaring its own independence following a referendum in 1999. Vryland declared independence in 2001. Geographically, the country is semi-desert, divided into two eco-regions: the wet country (in the west) and the dry/high country (in the east). In the west, the land is generally flatter (though still rugged and rocky) with the east being higher and more mountainous. the north and north-west are the most fertile areas of the country with the south and south-east being more barren. - How long have you role played this nation? How long have you role played on NS? How long have you been role playing? On and off since 2008, though never extensively. I've role-played before (quite extensively, both in and out of NS). - Why are you interested in joining Pardes? The region seems very active and far more involved with itself than other regions I've seen. - Please list 3 RP examples I don't have any recent examples. Been a while since I was last in the game. - Did anyone refer you to Pardes? No. - Do you have a human population? If no, then please list what you have. All human, well, apart from the wildlife but no furries or ponies (are they still around?) - What tech level do you play with? If it is not MT, how will it interact with MT nations? MT. - Tell us a bit about yourself and how you'd contribute to the region. Short statements are fine, but a longer one is usually better. Just don't make it tl;dr. Personally, I'm a friendly guy and open-minded. I like to meet new people and travel. I love languages, politics, history and people but I don't take myself too seriously. Anything else you need to know, feel free to ask. Well, I've played the game on and off with various nations since 2004. Until about 2008 (which was when I founded Vryland), I was part of a really active and involved region, we had a map, regional legislature and an active OOC and RP community. But things began falling apart as the NS lull began and eventually, I like many others lost interest in the game. The times I've returned, I've looked for regions like the one I was apart of and whilst some lived up to it for a short while (usually because of my efforts), they ultimately fell apart. I'm looking for a region that is active and fun to be a part of - Pardes seems to fit the bill. I can be a serious political RP player and I specialise in economic RP - I could bring a slightly different aspect to RP than perhaps what the residents are used to.

You're application has been processed, sorry for the delay. Are you able to provide any RP examples, even old ones? |

I'm going to have to use the dreaded 'A' word for the time being. His/her application seems alright, but the lack of writing samples makes me very, very wary. An abstain from me for now, with my final vote dependent thereafter on samples submitted. |

No worries on the delay. Yeah, I can understand the caution in abstaining, Azura. However, unfortunately, I don't have any RP examples. The region I was part of (some years ago now) based almost all of its RP on its off-site forum. That forum is now offline and looks like it has been a good while. I guess all I can say to address your concerns is that, IRL, I write for a hobby and I have previously been published. In my old region I was a strong RPer. |

Vryland, if you can, would you be willing to do an roleplay with me to alleve these concerns? |
