This thread's dead following the autoprune of the IC, and I've decided that I'm dropping out. For anyone interested, New Babylonia has restarted this here
IC thread (Note: fill out an app before posting here)
The year was 2014. The Union was on the verge of collapse. For what reasons, or how, not a single American knew, but all were in agreement that the power of the once-mighty federal government was gradually being surpassed by that of various regional confederacies which were springing up as quickly as outlets of fast food chains and seemed to be rising from the middle of nowhere. President Obama, as in the dark as to why such a sudden change in America's political climate had occurred as the rest of the populace and under heavy pressure from Congress to respond, approved the deployment of an occupational force to an unrecognized coalition formed by North and South Carolina. The force was repelled, Carolina declared itself to be an independent nation, and politicians from coast to coast began to debate on whether their regions would follow in Carolina's footsteps.
The year is 2015. The States of America are United no more, and the once-mighty federal republic has been replaced by several smaller unions formed by neighboring states. Each new nation will be forced to adapt to the tumultuous times or fail as its predecessor did. Some may embark on a mission to take advantage of the chaos in the air of the fractured superpower by waging war on its former brothers, while others might opt to build diplomatic relations with the independent countries which have risen from the ashes of the United States. As the leaders of your own group of states, it will be up to you to decide what will happen in a new, shattered America.
RULES
1. No WMDs. That includes (but is not limited to) nuclear weapons, Chuck Norris, biological weapons, the Dos Equis guy, chemical weapons, and the Old Spice guy.
2. No godmodding. See here if you're new or don't understand what it is.
3. No references to any continent besides North America. The only relationships you can have with countries elsewhere are neutral economic ones. Basically, don't pull out the "russha and china gav me 999999 soldierz & $100 bazillion" card.
4. Suspend your disbelief. We all know that a divided U.S. isn't realistic, and that Rules 1 and 3 aren't realistic, but we're ignoring that for the sake of roleplay.
5. Keep everything else realistic. Don't stray from modern tech, don't numberwank, don't have an excessive budget, etc.
6. Minimum of four lines per post. Basically, no one liners.
7. Stay active. Anyone who doesn't post in the IC for a week is kicked out unless they can be counted on to return. If you post in the OOC, this will be extended to ten days from the last IC.
8. Space. The Final Frontier. Don't go there. See Rule 5.
9. Warning system. Baseball rules. Three strikes and you're out, plain and simple.
10. If there are any issues, TG me. Better to have the OP settle things than to try doing it via heated arguments or flamefests. 12 hour response guaranteed or your money back.
11. Have fun! Or else.

I'm not the OP, but look at the map.
'California' is either southern or northern RL California. 'Florida' is made up of RL Florida and Georgia. Those rankings that you examined were population numbers for the nations shown in the map.

You are not the OP? And why exactly is that? You have claimed.... 5 states? i have claimed 4.. (would have been three..but i realized Arizona and NM are one....) should probably change to South western-empire, though.

It is wise to look at the map before making a claim. Not to make a big deal about it, but I already responded to your previous post before I even wrote that you couldn't have it. I'm well aware that I'm not the OP, as I wrote that in my previous post. xD

You may have to start the IC. Such will spur the OOC...People aren't going to join if they just see bumps :/

"Take pride in how you have over come the oppressiveness of the old regime. Your nationalism runs strong in your blood and together you will help me to make our new nylon great!" He walked into the building as a large cheer rose from the crowd behond him. "This was the beginning of a great period for New York" he thought as he grinned and walked through the door to the Capitol building.
