Rise of the Gold Eagle (OOC / Signups) *Future Tech*

(IC-Thread: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=353698)
Hello, friends.
I'm starting up a RP (which may be character-based OR nation-based, however you choose to participate is entirely your choice) and the rules are per usual: No GMing, no excessive swearing (just be respectful, that's the bottom-line), etc. etc. The gist of the setting is that a terrorist ring has been secretly in operation within the borders of Imperial Esplanade. This is a storyline that I had been working on for some time with another RPing site (Facebook Nations) prior to their going under, and I would like to continue expanding upon in through NationStates now that I'm exclusively on this site.
Expanded Storyline and National History:
Prior to its' demise, the Grand Republic was a founding member of the Alliance of Righteous Nations (or, the ARN... simply referred to as 'the Alliance) which flourished within its' own existence and remained relatively isolated compared to other international organizations. One of them, known as the Laptev Axis, was the perennial superpower of the region, flexing its' muscle often in the affairs of other states and factions. This inevitably led to run-ins, one of them was against the Grand Republic - leading a coalition of Axis nations and nations friendly to the axis. The Grand Republic then initiated a defense, calling upon the Allied forces and nations friendly to the Alliance. After a brutal, bloody, but quick war... the Axis ended it by smashing one of Castillo's moons into Castillo, the Grand Republic's homeworld, destroying all life and forcing the Grand Republic to surrender, this spurred a series of surrenders from the other Alliance members and nations fighting alongside the Alliance.
With the Grand Republic's capital lost, and billions of lives lost, they had to rebuild. The Grand Republic was previously a very unique nation, as it dwelled within its' own solar system. However, the Grand Republic was falling apart, the nation was imploding and the incredibly young then-President Emmy Langlois had to make a choice as they were looking at a financial armageddon. The decision was then made, auction off the land-holdings and use the proceeds to terraform three uninhabited and unclaimed solar systems to their own fitting:
- The Freedom System
- The Democritus System
- The International System
The Freedom System was considered to be the true home and heartland of the new nation that would arise from the ashes of the Grand Republic. The Democritus System was a colonial solar system, each planet primarily governed locally but with defenses provided by the new state. The International System was to serve as an international/interstellar trading hub, with rights to various portions of each of the planets to be auctioned off at an undisclosed time and date. The major planet of the entire system, Olympus, was to serve as an international no-man's land - a neutral location for any and all nations to gather at a time of international crisis, or celebration. The decision was then made, as the unicameral National Senate had decided to dissolve the faltering Republic and establish a new state in its' place: Imperial Esplanade. Then-President Emmy Langlois, then 23 years old, was nominated for the crown for the newly-minted imperial state. She graciously accepted, and the young queen has since become an international symbol synonymous with peace, tolerance, and coexistence.
However, there were those who had a vested interest in the failure of the new state... whatever the cost. A shadow organization, known as the 'Inner Circle' had been organizing terrorist activities within the then-Grand Republic for decades, and they followed the new state to Imperial Esplanade as they set up shop and perform subversive activities all across the solar system and even beyond. The man in charge? He calls himself "Gold Eagle," his true identity remains obscure as he is not a citizen registered with Imperial Esplanade. This man was responsible for the assassination of Queen Emmy's father, the great President Henri Langlois III, as well as countless acts of terror since the Alliance-Axis War. Many believe his motives have something to do with an allegiance toward the Axis, though it has since dissolved and many member nations having since collapsed. The Gold Eagle is a mastermind, a true genius who has managed to escape detection and apprehension for over three years. He must be caught, and will be caught, at all costs.
