Since there isn't really a desperate need for a mod to this story, I'll get this going before I go off to college.

In 1785 the Final American Colonial Constitution was chartered, it would become the basis for British-Colonial relations for years to come. There was no American revolution and this would always bother fire-eaters in New England, like Samuel Adams and his Sons of Liberty. India was the next nation to enter into a Constitutional Agreement with Britain, but Australia and South Africa would follow. As the Ottomans and China applied for protectorates Britain came ever closer to world domination.
Europe still posed problems for her, of course, but there was little to be done about that and she could easily ignore them anyways. Then Germany unified under Prussia and The Three Emperor’s alliance began to try to dictate terms to France, East Europe became suddenly, far more powerful than ever before. Russia, Austria and Germany seemed capable of dictating terms to France, the newly united Italy and Spain.
The Year is 1914, the situation stinks of providence, Prime Minister Theodore Roosevelt of Northern America is beginning to pull his nation to even more autonomy and the Irish are screaming for home rule. Europe seems at the brink of something beyond anyone’s imagination, a war that will slaughter millions. Empires are won and lost in years like this, and the Germans know that as well as the British do.

The nations are unimportant in this game because you do not play as a nation as you would in a Neverending Story. This is not a Neverending Story; this is a Group Story Activity. The previously described AH is where our story begins. And it is up to you to pick a character to direct in that world. There is absolutely no means of winning; this is not a game, work on having a cohesive plot and on actually writing. There are no Limitations on you, there are no post requirements, if you feel like writing one short bit set in this world, and never coming back, go ahead.
Characters are our top priority, and anyone involved in the story can make his own, or as many of his own as he chooses. They will be labeled as your own and you alone will be able to write about them, unless permission is given to another author. There are also three Open Characters about whom anyone can write without any permission.
Vladmir Lenin: A Russian exile in Zurich.
Minister Theodore Roosevelt: The Minister of America, essentially the President, but accountable to Britain.
Richard Blair: Father to George Orwell, lives in Bengal, India.
Rules
There are going to have to be some basic rules to this thing, and you are going to have to obey them in all likelyhood, and however little I like the idea of moderation I fear that some could become necesarry. (If you are available to help me moderate PM me).
1) The stories will obey the traditional laws of physics and chemistry and so forth. I will not see Characters flying from hither to thither and doing miracles.
2) Characters should stay consistent with charicterizations that another writer makes. This is important when dealing with the Open Characters.
3) Events described in previous posts must be accepted by following posts, if I were to describe a bombing of Vienna by Serbian nationals in the opening story then all other writers would be bound to accept that it has happened. Should posts be conflicting and simultaneously posted we will consider a branching off of the story adn the (potential) creation of a second thread. This is how unlikely we find this to be.
4) Any post which violates the first rule or, to extreme extent, the second or third, will be voted upon between myself and any I accept to help me moderate. The majority will carry whether to accept or to veto the story.

You can write as much as you want to, if you feel like you may only write one short bit and never come back, you may keep writing here about the same characters as they trek through this world. Neither is prohibited. Feel free, encouraged actually to comment and if that should get out of hand I will simply create a directory of the stories on this post, allowing readers to skip many of the comments. First Story should, hopefully, set a good example.
