I have dealt with the colonisation of oronegro already. I have covered the period from the late 15th to early 17th centuries... and yes it is all very fun... if my parents and I ever manage to do that trip down to where you are in the south I'll be sure to bring some figs :-DDaisy Gowan Ditchburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476802587483833107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194749690795068416.post-69941540987982969642012-11-26T03:02:53.138-08:002012-11-26T03:02:53.138-08:00You might want to think about how Oronegro came in...You might want to think about how Oronegro came into being. Was it a colony of some European power that achieved its independence only after a lengthy war of independence, or by some other more peaceful means? When did this happen? What about the neighbouring countries? That may decide you what sort of figures you deem the most appropriate.<br /><br />I have given no particular thought to the history of Orotina, Gran Bolivaria and the rest before the 20th century, imagining them, if anything, as the remnants of the break-up of some larger power several decades before. So that whole region on your northern border could be a bit of a blank slate for you. It would do no violence at all to the back history project as I see it!<br /><br />I mentioned the possibility of a large power that broke up, say at the end of the 19th Century, or the beginning of the 20th. That might give you a long history of Oronegro's struggle for an independent existence; a war of independence from a Colonial power; then resistance to the attempted encroachments of the Pan-Andean Imperium (say) that lasted with varying fortunes (possibly including being taken over for periods of time, but also periods in which revolts have successfully thrown off the Imperial yoke).<br /><br />Actually, I can see a kind of Latin American Civil WAr type scenario - a bit like the Bolivian War of the late 1860s. I had in mind the secession from the United States of Anaconda (USA) by the Confederated States of Amazonia (CSA)...<br /><br />Man this sort of thing is fun!<br />Cheers,<br />Ion<br /> Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194749690795068416.post-33833216054659534042012-11-25T22:40:08.197-08:002012-11-25T22:40:08.197-08:00its alright.
