Project Rules and Timeline Guidelines 1. Timeline Start and Goal The timeline begins in 1200 BCE. By the year 1790 CE, at least 60 percent of the area must be colonized. 2. Colonization Procedure To colonize a region, comment "Sending ship" on the latest remix. Wait one to two weeks to receive your results. If colonization is successful, you may annex territories. This may result in the eradication of a local tribe. 3. Colonization Eligibility Rule If a country not currently represented in the project possesses sufficient technology, it can initiate colonization. Eligible countries must have been formed between 80 CE and 1400 CE. 4. Timeline Manipulation You may split the timeline into alternate paths, but you must comment "Splitting the timeline" before doing so. You are allowed to skip ahead by one to twenty-five years per remix. 5. Independence Movements Independence movements can be initiated by new users. 6. Remixing Protocol Before starting a remix, comment "Remixing!" on the most recent version. If someone else has already commented, wait until they have completed and shared their remix before beginning yours. This rule helps maintain order and prevents overlapping contributions. 7. Remix Queue Exemptions The following users are exempt from the remix queue rule: @BBTLEOfficialScratch, @IranTime, @windowsxp4335, and @Agentwo. 8. Flag Creation and Recognition All flags must be created using third-party software such as flag-creator.com, the Draw The Flag app (Android), tennessine.co.uk/flags, or similar tools. To gain recognition, add your flag to the "Flags" sprite in the project. 9. Nation Size Limits Nations must remain reasonably sized. Excessively large empires are not allowed. 10. Tribal Management @BBTLEOfficialScratch, @IranTime, and @Agentwo are in control of all tribal populations and their decisions. 11. Map Expansion You may add new continents to the map if needed. This is encouraged when space is limited and more room is required for new countries to emerge. 12. Country Unification You may unite your country with another, but only if you first send a request to that country's owner and receive their permission. 13. Background Date Update Make sure to change the date on the background so it matches your title. 14. Countries & Their Controlers Banslat - Alquitopia - Agentiva - Balryian Kingdoms - Windocindia - Grand Manzombia - Unfleurontica - 15. Timeline Rule In BCE (Before Common Era) timelines, the years count downward toward 1 BCE. There is no year 0 — after 1 BCE comes 1 CE! 16. Music and Static Rule: Do NOT change the music or delete the static sprite. These elements are essential to the project’s design and experience.
