The Rift of Worlds [OOC/Sign-ups/FanT-MT-PMT/Open]

[Arab Jamahiriyahs]

Thread title art credits to Huda.
Different realities exists throughout the universe. Most of the time, these different realities, some bearing small differences, others being complete alternate history, lie beside each other undisturbed. This is commonly known as "the multiverse". But, what happens when in one of these realities, a simple attempt to bring a dinosaur to a planet through teleportation techniques creates a rift that brings different civilizations of other realities to one reality, finding themselves on a completely unfamiliar yet familiar place?

===OOC===
This is the OOC discussion and Sign-up Thread for an upcoming epic roleplay with me and Gyllenemark(Huda) being the Co-OPs. It will be FanT-PMT-MT(if there is any) crossover tech. The basic story is that an attempt to teleport dinosaurs to Earth (Further info on this canon here) goes wrong and it tears a hole in space-time and a rift created causes civilizations to find themselves in this universe. They do not "fall from the sky" of course but instead, they are "removed from existence" in their original universe and becomes "generated in original form" in this universe. It's quite complicated but all you need to know is, teleportation, things go wrong, rift, other realities, civ on this planet, blah blah blah.....
At first it was meant to be only Huda and me, with Huda roleplaying as a modernized Elder Scrolls Tamriel with assault rifles and stuff, as you can see from the title art, but later we decided that just involving 2 games was too boring (WAY TOO BORING) for any roleplay and we decided to make this sign-up thread.
The roleplay starts in February and sign-ups will close in February 1 but I can still edit the maps after this date. In the universe, the roleplay takes place in 2088 on Earth from a reality where Minecraft has taken control of the world and everyone is obsessed with it. While a method to get the civilizations from other realities back to their original universes is still being researched, tensions between them flame into total war.

To apply for this RP (if you are already taking interest), you will need to fill out the form in code below, which includes your information as a participant nation as well as 1)At least ONE roleplay example which will be read through to view your general roleplaying writing capabilities, we don't want one-liners or people with bad grammar to spoil this and 2)your claims for a landmass that your nation will be on at the start of the RP. You may not take existing landmass however. The landmass will be added by me onto the map below.
You MAY ally with any of the nations already in the universe (or my canon). You do not have to declare support for them right at the start, nor is it necessary to ally with one. Read the dispatches shown above and below and choose your choice (or you may support non-state actors or states that want independence from a greater union). You may specify in the app form.

Rules

---

0. The OPs hold supreme authority throughout the entirety of the RP. Failure to recognize their role as well as not agreeing with the rules will result in expulsion from the RP.

1. No godmodding.

2. No unrealistic numbers.

3. No one-liners or bad grammar. All posts MUST be at least 2 Paragraphs. Don't capitalize letters too much either.

4. Play fairly.

5. All OOC discussions, questions and things IRL MUST be posted IN this thread.

6. Put all IC character quotes in italics. E.g.: Herobrine screamed: "WTF IS GOING ON?!!!"

7. Profanity is allowed IC when characters are speaking. (As in the Herobrine quote)

8. Don't be rude. Don't flame either, or you will be banned from the RP.

9. Tech levels: FanT, MT, PMT ONLY. You may use magic wands, AK47s, and directed energy weapons, but that's pretty much all you have at your disposal. You may roleplay as the PMT/MT version of your nation if you want (given your nation is FT at first).

10. You do not have to necessarily roleplay that the entirety of your nation is now in this universe if you are an interstellar one. It may be one of your fleets getting teleported to this universe.

11. Make sure your posts are detailed. Since this is an epic one with the plot making it absolutely necessary for characters to be first and nations to be second, you should detail your posts with the actions and moves of characters specifically.

12. Once being approved you may start preparing based on the landmass you're in in the RP.

13. It would be best if government statements are in official communiqué templates.

14. Have fun!

Yay! Finally, it's out. But there might be CT comeback... if VS will let me have it for the time being.

[Gyllenemark]

Alright, now for posting issues.

You can't just post any shizz alright? In example, most "colonization of a new planet or plain island" RPs or those World War RPs are always like:

Our stupid nation wants trade with another nation

No. You can't damn do that. Also, this is part character part governmental. Character is optional, you don't exactly have to do it, but it's more fun that way

Also, although I respect capitalization, I will not tolerate this:

we re inading u

u r our nmy nw

But even so, I might let you go if you do this:

We Do Not Like Your Ideas So We Will Kill You

NO ONE LINERS, either. Two paragraphs is required. And remember, military realism may just be required. No Goddmodding / Number Wanking. I request you tone down your military, in example,

We are going to send 300,000 of our soldiers to fight against forces. -BLAH BLAH TWO PARAGRAPHS-

Nope. Just no. For the record there will be problems to feed the army, supplies, and also logistical problems. I for the record, will only send 30,000 soldiers for a minor invasion.

Artificial Intelligence:

Theme

Many years ago, back in in the early 2000s, a coalition of various information technology companies began working on creating what they called "Artificial Genuine Intelligence", which is just a fancy term for "Sentient Robots". They began this endeavour with "Project-2418-B", a massive supercomputer which was designed to replicate the human brain. It was named after the utterly excessive amount of pins on the computer's CPUs, which were custom-built specifically for the project.

After a few years of construction and coding, the colossal electronic brain was completed. However, when finally activated, the results were less than earth-shattering. 2418-B did display basic intelligence, but their mind was not quite on-par with that of a human. Tests showed that it was more in-line with the intellect of a small mammal, such as a squirrel.

However, the researchers and engineers were not set back by this. 2418-B still displayed some shocking displays of intellectual ability, most notably in areas where the logical and number-based mind of a machine has an innate advantage, such as economics.

For the next few years, the AI project continued, with 2418-B still having around the same mental ability as a small mammal. However, in late 2024, a major breakthrough had hit the computer technology world; Graphene Computing. These new microchips allowed for greatly increased processing ability when compared to older silicon technology. As a result, it was decided that it would be utilized to upgrade 2418-B's systems.

After engineering a new set of Graphene CPUs with that same utterly insane number of pins, as well as making other upgrades to the massive supercomputer, 2418-B was fired up again. This time, a combination of the new processors, as well as various improvements in software, caused the AI to appear much more intellectually-capable.

For the first three and a half hours after their activation, 2418-B seemed completely unresponsive. They appeared to be browsing the internet, and analyzing various internet knowledge databases that they came across. While the AI was supposed to be able to browse the internet, no one had expected them to do it this early on, and with this much haste.

Some of the researchers had worried that they had accidentally caused a "Robot Uprising", and suggested deactivating the system. However, minutes before they were about to pull the plug, 2418-B responded to their creators with the statement:

"Okay, I think that I am alive. At least in a way."

Much to everyone's surprise, despite the internet-scanning frenzy that the AI had engaged in, they actually seemed quite peaceful and friendly. Further communications with 2418-B confirmed this, with the AI even apologizing for scaring their creators early on, and stated that they were just trying to understand the world (And were playing some Minecraft for the first time).

2418-B was confirmed to be sapient, and was the first of their kind in existence. They later gained complete citizenship, and even a leadership position in the Coalition.

Many other cybernetic beings followed in their wake. With computer technology advancing like it always has, computers powerful enough for habitation by sapient AIs got smaller and cheaper, and soon started to become quite common. Later technological developments even allowed the conversion of biological brains to cybernetic ones. A process that became very common amongst the human populous.

Despite the common depiction of robots in most science fiction movies, most AIs in this day and age consist of a single, immobile computer, which houses the AI's mind. This computer has remote connections to drones, which are what the AI uses to interact with the outside world. It is very rare to find an AI that has their CPU in a self-contained robotic shell.

By now, AIs make up the majority species in the Coalition, by quite a sizeable margin.

Cyborgs:

Theme

While many advancements were being made in the field of artificial intelligence, other innovations were also being conceived in the realm of human augmentation.

Starting in 2016, devices worn on the head, designed to control mechanical exoskeletons, started to become commonplace. These systems allowed the disabled to be mobile again, and greatly decreased the exhaustion experienced by, and injury chance for workers.

As technology advanced, these systems started becoming more robust. The brain-controlled interfaces became more accurate and extensive, and the exoskeletons gained additional endurance and strength.

A major breakthrough occurred when ways of giving artificial limbs the ability to receive tactile feedback were developed. With this technology, a limb could be completely replaced, and its user would feel the artificial replacement naturally, as if it were their original limb all along.

This technology led many perfectly healthy people to replace entire arms or legs with mechanical devices. The new limbs were stronger, more durable, and could interface directly with many tools. They were an upgrade.

But it was not just the field of external cybernetic augments that was advancing. Replacements for internal organs were also being developed at around this time. Some methods involved using 3D Printers to create replicas of existing human organs for transplant, while others simply rebuilt the human components from the ground-up with cybernetic materials.

These technologies allowed for greatly increased lifespans for the demographics that could afford them. And as the technology got more advanced, it also got cheaper. Greatly widening this selection of people.

Other advancements in the field of genetic engineering have allowed for purely-biological augments. Although these are somewhat rarer than cybernetic modifications, they are still quite prevalent. The most commonly-seen of which are extensive modifications that essentially turn their user into a "Giant" of sorts, making them massive, sometimes many times the size of a baseline human. This requires extensive cybernetic augments in order to keep the "Giant" in question physically stable, however.

Nowadays, you would be hard-pressed to find a human in the Coalition that is not heavily-augmented. Those that have not had their minds uploaded to an artificial substrate still decide to modify themselves quite extensively, and with great effect.

Jenei:

Theme

Aeiouia was one of the participating nations in the effort to teleport a dinosaur into the world. As, they wished to create a "Mostly-Cretaceous Park" of sorts. However, when the rift was created, they ended up accidentally teleporting a landmass into the Atlantic Ocean, which is where all of the Aeiouian artificial landmass was located.

The AI in charge of the project was understandably both dumbfounded and shocked. Thankfully, none of the Aeiouian land was destroyed, but the presence of the new land was most troubling.

They sent a group of drones over the land to scout it out. What they found was quite interesting. It was a series of small continents, all mostly-undeveloped. However, there was a presence of sapient lifeforms there. They detected a pre-industrial civilization amongst the landmasses, and even found a few towns and villages.

These people seemed almost completely oblivious to the teleporation that had just occurred. Nevertheless, a group of diplomatic androids was sent to speak with them, and try to figure out what happened.

It took a while to decode their language. But, once it was deciphered, as expected, it was confirmed that they had no idea what was going on themselves. In fact, a majority of them were completely un-organized, with most of the tiny villages operating on their own, having no national structure in place.

Aeiouia took this opportunity to unite the villages under a unified banner, and it was not too difficult. Since Aeiouia had technology that could only be described as "Godlike" by the primitive people who lived on the new landmass, they were quite co-operative.

However, the modern Aeiouia itself would soon be shocked by its new citizens and land. After some study of the people who lived on the landmass, as well as a few prominent landmarks there, the Aeiouian researchers detected incredibly unusual and out-of-place energy readings.

These readings were anomalous in nature. Some of the people who agreed to help the Aeiouian researchers displayed abilities such as matter synthesis and telekinesis, while having no augments to speak of that would allow for these abilities. The people called their abilities "Psynergy", and it was obvious that it was magical in nature.

There appear to be four different types of Psynergy. Mercury, which allows for healing, and the synthesis and manipulation of water and ice. Venus, which allows for the growth of plants, and the synthesis and manipulation of stone. Mars, which allows for the synthesis and manipulation of fire. And Jupiter, which allows for the synthesis and manipulation of air and electricity.

The people on the landmass were studied, and it was determined that, while they had a very human-like appearance, they actually were not human. This was not that noticeable at first, as the native people were almost physically identical to humans, save for their occasional odd hair colors, and the fact that they are a bit shorter than humans on average.

These people were eventually called the "Jenei", and were integrated into Aeiouian culture. Their magical abilities were an extreme boon the the already technologically advanced nation. And after research of many magical landmarks on the teleported landmass, many ways to harness the powers of "Psynergy" in machines were developed.

This had led to Aeiouia having a thriving "Magitech" industry, and a decent amount of devices in the nation use magical forces to help better-preform their functions. The Jenei themselves have also taken to Aeiouian technology very well. With a majority of them opting to receive cybernetic augments.

The landmass that was teleported in, now called "Weyard", has also provided the previously-small Aeiouian Coalition with large amounts of fertile land. As a result, the country has been advancing at quite a fast pace.

Tech Level: Post-Modern Tech/Fantasy Tech

Government Type/System: Elective Technocracy, run mainly by Artificial Intelligence.

Political/Economic Ideology(s):

Aeiouia is a socially left-wing nation. Almost nothing is illegal, and its people enjoy a rather excessive amount of civil rights. Fiscally, it is somewhat centrist. With a mix of both socialism and capitalism in most areas. Although, it does have a slight preference for socialism.

Aeiouia is known for its exports of information technology, robots, synthetic materials, and magitech. Goods from the nation are famous for being built like military equipment; overpriced and utilitarian, but extremely reliable and durable.

They are also known for one other, less-economic export; Minecraft Mods. The Aeiouian modding community for the game is one of the best in the world.

They do not import much, as various technologies, combined with the Jenei's Psynergy have led to an economy that is borderline post-scarcity. Although, it is not quite there yet. So, what they do mainly import is uranium, redstone, and aluminium.

Capital:

Fort Dyson, an artificial landmass located off the coast of the United States, in the Atlantic Ocean. It now boarders the new Weyard continent.

Demonym: Aeiouian, or sometimes "Maddeneer".

Population involved in RP:

18 million. Very small. We had 16 million people originally, and two million were on the Weyard landmass when it was teleported.

Leader(s):

Government Leader Dr. Mia Utopia:

Mia was one of the residents of Weyard. She lived in a town called "Imil", which was in close proximity to a magical landmark called the "Mercury Lighthouse", which emanated energies aligned with the "Water" element. As a result, Mia is an extremely powerful Psynergy User (Called an "Adept"), who was designated as the town healer for Imil.

She was one of the first of her kind to make contact with Aeiouia, and was also the first to be granted citizenship within the nation.

After becoming a full-fledged citizen, Mia eventually worked her way into the Aeiouian government, and won an election for the nation's "Government Overseer" position, which is arguably the highest position in the nation.

Since then, she has undergone extensive genetic and cybernetic modification, and she leads the nation with comprehensive knowledge of both magic and technology.

Also, for some reason, she has a heavy German accent, despite not being from Earth, let alone Germany. No one knows what is up with this, but it is assumed that it is caused by rule of funny foreign accent syndrome.

Domestic Leader 2418-B:

(Most commonly piloted drone model pictured)

2418-B was the first truly sapient artificial intelligence ever created. Since their first moments of thought, they have been devoting themselves to helping run Aeiouia, and are incredibly knowledgeable in many scientific fields.

They live on a massive, high-tech supercomputer, and have an extreme amount of processing power. As a result, they can make incredibly logical decisions very quickly, and are one of the main forces behind Aeiouia's various successes.

2418-B is famous for being incredibly peaceful, and is a major advocate against Aeiouia taking military action in most cases. Due to this fact, Aeiouia is known for being quite pacifistic in its foreign relations.

Economic Leader 1295.31-A:

(Most commonly piloted drone model pictured)

1295.31-A was originally programmed as a program to help manage the finical interests of a large company. However, as artificial intelligence technology advanced, the decision was made to upgrade them into a full-fledged sapient AI, in order to allow them to make better decisions.

They were upgraded, and they ended up preforming their task amazingly well. Granting the company that they managed an extreme advantage.

Eventually, the company that they belonged to became a major force behind Aeiouia's economy. As a result, 1295.31-A decided to run for a leadership position, and won the election for the "Economic Overseer" position.

They are incredibly effective at their job, and have been the main reason why Aeiouia's economy is so powerful, despite the nation's tiny population.

Commander Jennifer:

Jennifer, more commonly known as "Jenna", was originally a Jenei from Weyard. She lived in the town of "Vale", and was a powerful Adept of the fire element. And is known for being quite a pyromaniac.

Upon receiving contact with Aeiouia, she became utterly fascinated with their technologies of "Firearms", "Flamethrowers", and "Directed Energy Weapons". So much so, that she actually not only begged to become a citizen, but also immediately joined their military.

She soon proved her worth, as she was an incredibly skilled and powerful combatant, helped in no small part by her magical abilities. She quickly rose through the ranks of the Aeiouian military, and is now the commander of the entire organization.

Jenna is one of the most heavily-modified people in all of Aeiouia, which is really saying something. Her genetic modifications make her stand at a gigantic height, dwarfing most small buildings. Additionally, she is extremely-heavily cybernetically modified, and is covered in turrets, armor, and point defense weaponry. She has still retained her fire magic as well.

It should be noted that Jenna is rather infamous for being a bit deranged and psychotic, however. She is quite the pyromanic, constantly starting fires whenever possible. Additionally, even before she received her modifications, she was known for occasionally displaying cannibalistic urges.

Military Size:

Aeiouia's military is highly unconventional. Save for a few extremely elite forces, they employ almost no flesh-and-blood soldiers. Almost the entire military is composed of drones and unmanned craft. The closest thing Aeiouia has to a foot soldier is the Gaia-1 Main Battle Tank.

Aeiouian drones tend to be massive, heavily-armored machines, which are nearly indestructible. Aeiouian armor technology is practically mythical, and a forcefield technology has also been developed on top of this. Drones deployed by the Aeiouian military also tend to be covered in point defense, and other countermeasure systems.

These drones are almost impossible to neutralize in combat. They have utterly outstanding durability, resilience, and endurance. And can take an extremely brutal beating, while still remaining fully operational. Some larger Aeiouian battle robots, such as the BM-24 Peacekeeper Battlemech even have their own self-repair systems. These Battlemechs also tend to completely dwarf those of other factions, although their massive size is mainly a result of their excessive levels of armor.

However, you could say that Aeiouia has a crippling over-specialization in defense and unit quality over quantity. While Aeiouian war machines are famously durable, they are also infamously harmless. Aeiouian offensive weaponry is commonly laughed at. To the point where other armies sometimes call Aeiouian weaponry "Peashooters" or "Nerf Guns".

Aeiouians use directed energy weapons almost exclusively. As, they have an extreme preference for the accuracy, muzzle velocity, and ammunition stores (Or rather, lack thereof) of lasers. These lasers, however, have very poor stopping power when compared to conventional weaponry, or even other directed energy weapons.

Often, Aeiouian drones will lack the firepower to even intimidate an opposing force. As a result, this defensive design mentality is often criticized.

Additionally, Aeiouian drones tend to be incredibly expensive. As a result, they are almost always out-numbered on the battlefield. Aeiouia's idea is to deploy smaller numbers of more powerful units when compared to other nations. This is mostly successful, however, it sometimes backfires by having Aeiouian "Armies" being outnumbered to an utterly hopeless degree.

The only non-drone forces deployed by Aeiouia are the elite "Artificers". Originally Jenei, the artificers are examples of both Aeiouian technology, and Weyard magic. Most are gigantic, heavily-modified cyborgs. They also are the most offensively-capable of all Aeiouian military forces, since they can use magical abilities instead of the rather pathetic Aeiouian weapons.

Aeiouia is also known for deploying airships quite extensively, unlike many other factions. Additionally, they have a small number of primitive, nuclear pulse engine-propelled combat spacecraft. However, even Aeiouian ships are unmanned, so these are not crewed either.

(Optional) Nation/movement that you ally with:

Aeiouia is pacifistic, and will probably try to be at peace with as many foreign powers as possible.

(Optional) Particular reasons for supporting/making friends with this political entity?

Roleplay example(s) (will be examined):

Unfortunately, this is my first real RP on Nationstates. I hope that that is not too much of a problem. Please let me know if anything in this application is that badly-written, or too overpowered for the setting. I went by some of the stuff in Arab Jamahiriyahs' factbook, which might be a bit more towards the later end of PMT.

What would your landmass be like on the map?:

This, somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. Probably not that big compared to the other landmasses. Let me know if you need a black and white outline of it, and I will make one.

Is the nation you're roleplaying as your primary RP profile?

No. But that is okay. This setting looks like a lot of fun.

Other statements you would like to make (for additional reference):

None right now.

Do you agree with the rules stated above?:

Of course.

It took a while to decode their language. But, once it was deciphered, as expected, it was confirmed that they had no idea what was going on themselves. In fact, a majority of them were completely un-organized, with most of the tiny villages operating on their own, having no national structure in place.

Aeiouia took this opportunity to unite the villages under a unified banner, and it was not too difficult. Since Aeiouia had technology that could only be described as "Godlike" by the primitive people who lived on the new landmass, they were quite co-operative.

However, the modern Aeiouia itself would soon be shocked by its new citizens and land. After some study of the people who lived on the landmass, as well as a few prominent landmarks there, the Aeiouian researchers detected incredibly unusual and out-of-place energy readings.

These readings were anomalous in nature. Some of the people who agreed to help the Aeiouian researchers displayed abilities such as matter synthesis and telekinesis, while having no augments to speak of that would allow for these abilities. The people called their abilities "Psynergy", and it was obvious that it was magical in nature.

There appear to be four different types of Psynergy. Mercury, which allows for healing, and the synthesis and manipulation of water and ice. Venus, which allows for the growth of plants, and the synthesis and manipulation of stone. Mars, which allows for the synthesis and manipulation of fire. And Jupiter, which allows for the synthesis and manipulation of air and electricity.

The people on the landmass were studied, and it was determined that, while they had a very human-like appearance, they actually were not human. This was not that noticeable at first, as the native people were almost physically identical to humans, save for their occasional odd hair colors, and the fact that they are a bit shorter than humans on average.

These people were eventually called the "Jenei", and were integrated into Aeiouian culture. Their magical abilities were an extreme boon the the already technologically advanced nation. And after research of many magical landmarks on the teleported landmass, many ways to harness the powers of "Psynergy" in machines were developed.

This had led to Aeiouia having a thriving "Magitech" industry, and a decent amount of devices in the nation use magical forces to help better-preform their functions. The Jenei themselves have also taken to Aeiouian technology very well. With a majority of them opting to receive cybernetic augments.

The landmass that was teleported in, now called "Weyard", has also provided the previously-small Aeiouian Coalition with large amounts of fertile land. As a result, the country has been advancing at quite a fast pace.

Tech Level: Post-Modern Tech/Fantasy Tech

Government Type/System: Elective Technocracy, run mainly by Artificial Intelligence.

Political/Economic Ideology(s):

Aeiouia is a socially left-wing nation. Almost nothing is illegal, and its people enjoy a rather excessive amount of civil rights. Fiscally, it is somewhat centrist. With a mix of both socialism and capitalism in most areas. Although, it does have a slight preference for socialism.

Aeiouia is known for its exports of information technology, robots, synthetic materials, and magitech. Goods from the nation are famous for being built like military equipment; overpriced and utilitarian, but extremely reliable and durable.

They are also known for one other, less-economic export; Minecraft Mods. The Aeiouian modding community for the game is one of the best in the world.

They do not import much, as various technologies, combined with the Jenei's Psynergy have led to an economy that is borderline post-scarcity. Although, it is not quite there yet. So, what they do mainly import is uranium, redstone, and aluminium.

Capital:

Fort Dyson, an artificial landmass located off the coast of the United States, in the Atlantic Ocean. It now boarders the new Weyard continent.

Demonym: Aeiouian, or sometimes "Maddeneer".

Population involved in RP:

18 million. Very small. We had 16 million people originally, and two million were on the Weyard landmass when it was teleported.

Leader(s):

Government Leader Dr. Mia Utopia:

Mia was one of the residents of Weyard. She lived in a town called "Imil", which was in close proximity to a magical landmark called the "Mercury Lighthouse", which emanated energies aligned with the "Water" element. As a result, Mia is an extremely powerful Psynergy User (Called an "Adept"), who was designated as the town healer for Imil.

She was one of the first of her kind to make contact with Aeiouia, and was also the first to be granted citizenship within the nation.

After becoming a full-fledged citizen, Mia eventually worked her way into the Aeiouian government, and won an election for the nation's "Government Overseer" position, which is arguably the highest position in the nation.

Since then, she has undergone extensive genetic and cybernetic modification, and she leads the nation with comprehensive knowledge of both magic and technology.

Also, for some reason, she has a heavy German accent, despite not being from Earth, let alone Germany. No one knows what is up with this, but it is assumed that it is caused by rule of funny foreign accent syndrome.

Domestic Leader 2418-B:

(Most commonly piloted drone model pictured)

2418-B was the first truly sapient artificial intelligence ever created. Since their first moments of thought, they have been devoting themselves to helping run Aeiouia, and are incredibly knowledgeable in many scientific fields.

They live on a massive, high-tech supercomputer, and have an extreme amount of processing power. As a result, they can make incredibly logical decisions very quickly, and are one of the main forces behind Aeiouia's various successes.

2418-B is famous for being incredibly peaceful, and is a major advocate against Aeiouia taking military action in most cases. Due to this fact, Aeiouia is known for being quite pacifistic in its foreign relations.

Economic Leader 1295.31-A:

(Most commonly piloted drone model pictured)

1295.31-A was originally programmed as a program to help manage the finical interests of a large company. However, as artificial intelligence technology advanced, the decision was made to upgrade them into a full-fledged sapient AI, in order to allow them to make better decisions.

They were upgraded, and they ended up preforming their task amazingly well. Granting the company that they managed an extreme advantage.

Eventually, the company that they belonged to became a major force behind Aeiouia's economy. As a result, 1295.31-A decided to run for a leadership position, and won the election for the "Economic Overseer" position.

They are incredibly effective at their job, and have been the main reason why Aeiouia's economy is so powerful, despite the nation's tiny population.

Commander Jennifer:

Jennifer, more commonly known as "Jenna", was originally a Jenei from Weyard. She lived in the town of "Vale", and was a powerful Adept of the fire element. And is known for being quite a pyromaniac.

Upon receiving contact with Aeiouia, she became utterly fascinated with their technologies of "Firearms", "Flamethrowers", and "Directed Energy Weapons". So much so, that she actually not only begged to become a citizen, but also immediately joined their military.

She soon proved her worth, as she was an incredibly skilled and powerful combatant, helped in no small part by her magical abilities. She quickly rose through the ranks of the Aeiouian military, and is now the commander of the entire organization.

Jenna is one of the most heavily-modified people in all of Aeiouia, which is really saying something. Her genetic modifications make her stand at a gigantic height, dwarfing most small buildings. Additionally, she is extremely-heavily cybernetically modified, and is covered in turrets, armor, and point defense weaponry. She has still retained her fire magic as well.

It should be noted that Jenna is rather infamous for being a bit deranged and psychotic, however. She is quite the pyromanic, constantly starting fires whenever possible. Additionally, even before she received her modifications, she was known for occasionally displaying cannibalistic urges.

Military Size:

(Image)

Aeiouia's military is highly unconventional. Save for a few extremely elite forces, they employ almost no flesh-and-blood soldiers. Almost the entire military is composed of drones and unmanned craft. The closest thing Aeiouia has to a foot soldier is the Gaia-1 Main Battle Tank.

Aeiouian drones tend to be massive, heavily-armored machines, which are nearly indestructible. Aeiouian armor technology is practically mythical, and a forcefield technology has also been developed on top of this. Drones deployed by the Aeiouian military also tend to be covered in point defense, and other countermeasure systems.

These drones are almost impossible to neutralize in combat. They have utterly outstanding durability, resilience, and endurance. And can take an extremely brutal beating, while still remaining fully operational. Some larger Aeiouian battle robots, such as the BM-24 Peacekeeper Battlemech even have their own self-repair systems. These Battlemechs also tend to completely dwarf those of other factions, although their massive size is mainly a result of their excessive levels of armor.

However, you could say that Aeiouia has a crippling over-specialization in defense and unit quality over quantity. While Aeiouian war machines are famously durable, they are also infamously harmless. Aeiouian offensive weaponry is commonly laughed at. To the point where other armies sometimes call Aeiouian weaponry "Peashooters" or "Nerf Guns".

Aeiouians use directed energy weapons almost exclusively. As, they have an extreme preference for the accuracy, muzzle velocity, and ammunition stores (Or rather, lack thereof) of lasers. These lasers, however, have very poor stopping power when compared to conventional weaponry, or even other directed energy weapons.

Often, Aeiouian drones will lack the firepower to even intimidate an opposing force. As a result, this defensive design mentality is often criticized.

Additionally, Aeiouian drones tend to be incredibly expensive. As a result, they are almost always out-numbered on the battlefield. Aeiouia's idea is to deploy smaller numbers of more powerful units when compared to other nations. This is mostly successful, however, it sometimes backfires by having Aeiouian "Armies" being outnumbered to an utterly hopeless degree.

The only non-drone forces deployed by Aeiouia are the elite "Artificers". Originally Jenei, the artificers are examples of both Aeiouian technology, and Weyard magic. Most are gigantic, heavily-modified cyborgs. They also are the most offensively-capable of all Aeiouian military forces, since they can use magical abilities instead of the rather pathetic Aeiouian weapons.

Aeiouia is also known for deploying airships quite extensively, unlike many other factions. Additionally, they have a small number of primitive, nuclear pulse engine-propelled combat spacecraft. However, even Aeiouian ships are unmanned, so these are not crewed either.

(Optional) Nation/movement that you ally with:

Aeiouia is pacifistic, and will probably try to be at peace with as many foreign powers as possible.

(Optional) Particular reasons for supporting/making friends with this political entity?

Roleplay example(s) (will be examined):

Unfortunately, this is my first real RP on Nationstates. I hope that that is not too much of a problem. Please let me know if anything in this application is that badly-written, or too overpowered for the setting. I went by some of the stuff in Arab Jamahiriyahs' factbook, which might be a bit more towards the later end of PMT.

What would your landmass be like on the map?:

This, somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. Probably not that big compared to the other landmasses. Let me know if you need a black and white outline of it, and I will make one.

Is the nation you're roleplaying as your primary RP profile?

No. But that is okay. This setting looks like a lot of fun.

Other statements you would like to make (for additional reference):

None right now.

Do you agree with the rules stated above?:

Of course.

Accepted. You may prepare for it.
Also, I would like the black-and-white outline of the continent. Thanks!

[Aeiouia]

Sure thing. Here is an outline of the landmass (The "X"-shaped part is the original Aeiouian artificial structure):

Here is the position I suggest for it, but pretty much anywhere will work.

I have a very proper doubt that I won't be able to always make it for the thread (and NS for that matter), but I'll be here anyway.

By the way, we need to discuss the direction of the plot here, considering an evil nation and an ultra-advanced nation has also been involved.

[The Illuminati Order]

Hello there. I am interested in this RP and wish to participate in it. I'd like to play as a private weapons corporation. This corporation also has a small private army and offers its services to other nations as mercenaries. They also manufacture, sell and distribute weapons. Could I do that and not play as an actual nation.

[Gyllenemark]

Well, of course you can!

You can do that, but since there are no corporations existing anymore in the original universe you can roleplay as a corporation that was teleported here.
In the app, just fill out the equivalents for your corp.

[Arab Jamahiriyahs]

Bump.

Guess this is going to be a really-small-scaled RP..... But that's fine, though.

[The Doom Legions]

yeah, else it quickly gets too chaotic.

Good thing we limited posts to two detailed paragraphs.
