Because I'm Never Gonna Give You Up!

The year is 2016 but things are different...
World War II never happened but Nazi Germany still fell.
In the year 1991, the West Russians adopted a different ideology to the East, the East were infuriated by this and with the help of Japan (Japan doesn't share East Russia's ideology but they thought it would be best if they split.), the USSR split up into East Russia (All of Siberia with the exception of the Kamchatka Peninsula) and West Russia (European Russia & Ukraine)
But due to tensions in the USA, it split up into:
The Republic of Texas (Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, New Mexico, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina)
The United Republics of California (California, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Utah) otherwise known as the URC
Alaska (Alaska)
The Republic of North America (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Canada) which was formerly known as the Democratic States of America until it merged with Canada.
United Republic of Columbia (Kentucky Fried Chicken, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Missouri, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire) otherwise known as the URC
Each of the 5 nations got a fair share of the former USA's resources.
East and West Russia got a fair share of the former USSR's resources.
International Law (Rules)
No Godmodding.
You may roleplay as an organisation.
You can't create a country that claims former US territory, you can choose to play as one of the 5 new nations though.
You can't create a country that claims former USSR country, you can choose to play as one of the 2 new nations though.
Be realistic about your nation, Mexico couldn't magically conquer Spain, Portugal and New Zealand and even if it did, it would be difficult to control such a widespread nation.
No uber-massive empires. In a nutshell: YOU CAN'T OWN AN ENTIRE FUCKING CONTINENT!
The Falklands are British, end of.
You may claim Antarctica but not all of it, maximum claim of Antarctica is 30km (The Penguin Post office belongs to Britain)
Notify me or a Co-Op via telegram (or OOC thread) about absences, this MUST be done at latest 3 days before absence.
If you have notified us, your nation will be cared for by myself or a Co-Op until you return.
2 days after un-notified absence and your nation will be cared for by myself or a Co-Op.
7 days after un-notified absence your nation will be left and it's fate will be sealed.
If your nation hasn't been obliterated by other nations after 14 days of un-notified absence, your nation will be annexed and declared as property of the National Unity Committee (until someone else creates a nation that uses some of the former land)
If you are creating a new nation on top of a former nation's territory that has been seized by the National Unity Committee for inactivity, please incorporate the collapse of the former nation into your history.
