Important note regarding story: I'll be trying to keep up with reading everyone's posts on the In character thread, and I'll keep a log on there to make a summarized version of what is happening. This is intended to make it easier for those jumping in later on.
Basically, what this Role Play is meant to be, is a Role Play where you, the player, are the ones who determine the story, I want to make this RP as open ended and free as possible, with your nation being yours, so basically, the most important thing you can have in this Role Play is creativity! The end goal of this is what you feel you get out of this, if you want to learn how to roleplay in general, than this is what I hope to be a good start.
~First and foremost, to prevent this from getting too large, I'm going to only allow for a maximum of 15 nations, the good thing about this is that this won't get too big, and it means that people can claim large chunks of land on the map! The only downside is that if a nation leaves, then it could cause issues, although...
~You must post at least once within a two day period, if you are unable to meet that, then most likely you really shouldn't be role-playing with such a busy schedule, if you happen to not post within the two day period (Two day's doesn't mean from the time you post you get two days, it means that within that day and the next), then I'll basically have it that a political coup occurred, and open up your nation to someone else, this sounds harsh, but I want to make sure that the whole RP is fully enjoyable, without being ruined by people just up and leaving.
~No Godmodding or WMDs I kinda left in a little bit of lore to describe why WMDs, specifically nuclear, can't be used, ergo, "I BLEW IT ALL UP WITH NUKES" is impossible. As for other WMDs, if it feels like it is one, then it probably is, but if you aren't 100% sure just bring it up with me, and I'll just figure it out. Speaking of me...
~I AM GOD! XD okay that was a bit too much, but I had too, in other words, anything I say is final, if you feel like something I do is a bit unfair, just bring it up, trust me I'm human! I know that I can screw something up, and I am more than welcome to feedback!
~Be a decent person, and what I mean by this is that try your best to respect others, in any circumstance, things like Racism, Sexism, Harrasment, and anything above and between will not be tolerated!
~Try your best at formatting at the very least, make your text understandable, if it helps, you can throw a little Tl;dr below that summarizes your actions, it'd make it easier for me to log everything that's happening, and it'd make it easier for everyone else!
~The Unspoken Rules otherwise known as, me being an idiot and forgetting to type out something important, this basically goes back to me being God, and the whole objection bit. Basically, once again, if it seems wrong, don't do it!
~This is Post Modern Tech! which means that it's a range of anything that currently exists, to things that aren't overly futuristic. (Flying cars, Giant Mech Suits, etc. Are NOT usable)
~Otherwise, the most important rule of course, andprobablythemostclichebutnevermindthat is to have fun! It's a world of possibilities, tomorrow is yours!
Should look like this:
- Code: Select all
[b]Nation Name:[/b]
[b]Primary/Secondary nation colors:[/b] <The primary will be the color of your territory on the map, the secondary will be used to denote your capital, or any important cities.
[b]Map Claims:[/b]
[b]Population Size:[/b] <Try to make this reasonable, think about the geography of your area, and guesstimate a realistic number, IE an Island nation won't have 5 billion people>
[b]Military Size:[/b]
[b]Economy Vaule:[/b] <Your In Game amount works fine, this just sets a bit of boundary on how far you can take your military>
[b]Tax Percentage: (If Applicable)[/b]
[b]Species resident other than human:[/b] <I tried to make sure this field was opened up as much as possible>
[b]Most Prominent Religious Movement (or lack of):[/b] <completely optional!>
[b]Brief Summary of Nation:[/b] <Include at least one positive attribute of your nation, and one counter-negative attribute to balance it out>
[b]What was rule 5?[/b]
Regarding Rejected Applications If your application is ever rejected, it will most likely be that it's because your nation is just too perfect, no where is truly perfect, most likely though I'd just end up PMing you to see if we can change up any of the numbers or add constraints to your nation to ensure some balance
EXAMPLE APPLICATION: (and technically my application at the same time)
Nation Name: The Federation of Ilaris
Primary/Secondary nation colors: Lavanderish Purple and Bright Aqua

Brief Summary of Nation: A strong almost U.S.A. esque nation that is based in mostly real world West Coast USA, nation is focused on leading the race on technology, although it falls short in areas of sports and. It's culture, due to globalization, is very heavily influenced by other countries, resulting in a highly mixed race population with a small deal less patriotism then other nations.
What was rule 5? NO SPOILERS FOR YOU!
Important information!
~The Main RP will begin the moment there are (including me) at least 5 people, once that has occurred I'll open up the in-character post and get the story going! If I forgot to add anything then I'd highly appreciate any feedback down in the OOC section of the thread!
Final Notes: I'm so sorry if this seems the slightest bit overwhelming, but my main objective was to make it so that the Role play could include anyone, and make it possible to make your nation as tailored to your likes as possible!If you like what you see, than please feel free to leave an application and hop on in once I've approved it! Thanks for reading this far!
