Hi! 8D I think you should join and post about this in our world builder group! Hopefully you can get some good comments and help from other members who really love world construction!
 
I am still interested in this idea. <3 Just saying.
 
I absolutely LOVE Rp ideas that have been this thought out! :D I say go for it! I would join, but sadly as of right now I have my fingers full of Rps :(

Haha lucky your Mitten. :D I have role plays I've replied to and haven't heard replies in WEEKS. Haha so I'm looking for more. Especially since I can reply fast if I use my computer and I like being constantly busy with roleplays. :3

I say bring this on. It sounds challenging and amazing and adventurous all in one. You can honestly do a LOT with this idea. And I agree with Mitten. This is well thought out. It's also rare to actually find those.
 
so if I put this up as a roleplay you think i would get some good feedback, and interest in it?
 
If I may, here's my two cents.

The world you have made is very detailed, very thought-out and, I must say, very creative. I think it is good as it is. Kudos to you for creating a wonderful world wherein I myself would love to participate.

I speak from experience when I say this, however, and make sure you don't include everything here on the roleplay OOC. I did that once, on another roleplay website. The entire first page of the thread was devoted to information very much like yours. However, apparently, this scared away even the RP elites due simply to the sheer amount of information to digest. When I asked about it, I was told, in no gentle manner, that because of the amount of information I put up about it, that it was "better suited for a novel than a roleplay"

That said, I believe you can condense much of the information about the finer workings of the world, to make it more conducive to a wider audience.
 
This is an awesome setup and incredibly well thought out. The variety of civilizations you created is intriguing. I have a couple of questions, though.
These countries... are they far apart? Have they influenced each other in their development?

Oh, and those are really just for you to think about... I mean, this could become a novel series. Seriously. Maybe, for starting an/some RP/s in this world, include a more brief explanation in the OOC thread. I would suggest you have all of your more in-depth information on the web and linked to whatever stories you want to RP, just so that people can brush up on specifics when/if they need to.
 
Definitely seconding the advice that you join the world building group.
