Welcome to Aelipsa!
An Alternate Earth World Building RP
Far in the multiverse, in a small unnoticed solar system, lies a planet called Aelipsa. Welcome to this queer world, an earth-like and yet amazingly different place from earth. Like earth, Aelipsa has oceans, lakes, rivers, plains, mountains and deserts. Like earth it is populated by human beings who dwell in cities and spend their time fighting against each other. Unlike earth though, Aelipsa has two moons, is twice larger than earth, has a long and complicated yet fascinating history and queer winds and currents that disrouted more than one merchant. Aelipsa currently lives in a modern tech (2016 basically), 9000 years after supervolcanic eruption that modelled the world as it is today.
It is this land, which might just as well be a paradise as it can be hell, that your nation hereby exist. That's right, you are going to completely make up, piece by piece with as much independence from real life nations as possible, a new nation. It must be as original as possible, different from the real world, yet realistic enough. In other words, cool. It must look like it could be a real world nation, but must not be recognizable to a real world nation. We NS'ers have plenty of creativity, so make your brain work for once and create a great nation.
But really, although diplomacy and wars and culture and all that stuff might be enough for you, some of you might get bored quick. This is why we also have a whole lot more, including religions. Different religions, nothing better to make a war and develop rivalry between nations. But you can also be neutral in all these wars, act as innocent, and pile money behind everyone's back. So, what do you decide? How will your nation look like? Are you ready to be part of this world where anything is possible?

So here it goes for the setting. I assume the maps explained enough of the on-planet system. But what about outside? Well, Aelipsa has two moons, inhabitable just like ours. And no, earth does not exist. Or at least, no-one in Aelipsa knows of an extra-aelipsan life form in outer space. Earth is FAR. So that means no reference to earth events or nations. No alliance with the U.S, they don't exist. So, I believed I stressed this enough. This RP remains on the planet Aelipsa (it's good enough, no?). Whatever is inside Aelipsa is regulated by the maps and by the player's will (especially for climate. I have few limitations for climate, except that the poles are cold and the top of mountains too.)
The year is 9126 pe (post eruption), and the year is divided into 13 months of 45 days each. I leave free to the players how to call the months, and if we do a subdivided system (like weeks) or not. All of these time purposes are up to you.
Here comes the list of nations, companies, supernational unions and religions
So let's have a look at what we all hate, but is quite necessary for the sake of the game...rules.
1- No God mod No Metagaming and all the classical one's you see in most RP's. You cannot destroy the world by pressing one button, and you can't know what your enemy does (unless you did espionage, but you announce that OOC before).
2- Wheaton's Law (don't be a d**k) Please don't OK? Spoiling the game will make people angry. We're not here for that, are we?
3- Ponies and Gandalf: To the door This planet is entirely and exclusively populated of human and regular kind of species. Sapient Ponies or I don't know what is off limits. And also, no magic. This is not a fantasy RP.
4- I'll accept nearly anything if you give a good explanation. There's a great island, but you'd like it to have a different climate. You could be accepted, if you justify this by some kind of cold/hot wind/current. Same for superpowers and battles and all. If you explain realistically and with detailed, it can go through anyway.
5- Realistic but Original nations I'm not taking a "New Australia" or whatsoever of the kind. Invent your nation, your flag, your capital etc... earth doesn't exist anyway. make your nations clean form any earth reference. However, keep them in the limits of realism. They should be able to look like real life nations in general, but not one in particular.
6- The usual one...OP's God What I say is truth. Nothing else. What Co-Op's say is truth too, unless refuted by myself.
7- Have fun and feel free This is also a bit of worldbuilding, so feel free to invent. Conlangs are appreciated too. Invent sea currents, migrating flux and more or less anything that could make your nation more real. And, have fun. That's the idea of the game after all...
And, last but not least, here come the longly awaited apps. Note that you can have a nation without a corp or religion, or a religion alone, or just a corp. You can also do all three, AND build supernational union...
Nation App
This is well, the nation app, so you can have a spot on the map, a bit of land, sovereignty, an army and a lot of friends and foes...
Please make a map claim, by directly taking the blank map, uploading it on Paint or someting, and select your boundaries, or just tell me what you want. But please, keep this realistic. Huge nations taking half of the maps will not be accepted...
