Description of RP
The year is 2016 and it looks.... the same. Since 2014, not much has happened. The balance of power is slowly changing and peacefully. Ukraine tensions have died down now and Crimea is recognized as part of Russia. The Scottish voted "No" in the referendum, keeping the British united. NATO has pulled out of Afghanistan. Syria is now almost over with a complete siding with Assad. Elon Musk confirms that SpaceX is working on the Mars Colonial Transporter and started construction of a new launch pad in Florida in spring of 2015. Russia has finally formed the EAU with Belarus, Armenia, and Kazakhstan now starting to change the balance of power. 2015 saw the United States of America and South Korea dissolve the Combined Forces Command. With a new year ahead of the world, many game changers are possible. More nations could join the EAU. Hillary could win the election in the USA. The EU could federalize. A literal world of possibilities, ready to happen.
OOC: Hello again! This is the re-installment of the Modern World series. This is a reboot of the previous thread, but the mechanics of it are going to be entirely different. We decided to reboot in 2016 with respects to the other 2014 RP's that are successful. Most of the generic history between 2014-2016 has been worked out for us. We are going to be changing how the RP will work, that way it can be better than before and avoid those issues. Please read the entire OP as a lot has changed.
Country List
Below is the list of nations that are accepted and allowed. In the past we have allowed any nation, but now we are going to be categorizing them and only allowing some to be taken. With 200 or so nations in the world, we don't need a Bulgaria, but we do need a Saudi Arabia. The point of this is to help us focus on the most important countries and avoid impossible scenarios. We apologize to all you ultra-nationalists out there that don't see your great nation on the list. If you do have a great story for a nation, TG the OP Board (OP and all Co-OP's) with the "submissions app" so we can review if we like your idea.
Application Process
The application process on this RP is quite different from the previous RP. Notice the use of "process" not just the app. This is due to us have different applications. We have one for the top 10 nations, the other major powers, crisis nations, and submissions. For questions regarding the first three, see the previous section. As for submissions, the submission app is for any ideas that you would like to RP that would qualify as a "game-changer." Crisis, new political parities, a nation you want to RP not on the lists, and other major events are all game changers and we need these to be approved first. While we note that it may be annoying, we simply can't have a political party take power out of nowhere, or have a random war without the OP Board's approval.
Reservations are allowed. Co-OP's can accept reservations as well as apps.
Rules
Most of the rules are quite self-explanatory. Things like no god modding and such are in the spoiler. All the rules from the previous installments have been carried over. No new rules have been added, though the OP Board will actively make sure that the IC is all within the limits of realism.
