The Far Future
The year is 2485 and you are a leader of a country, ready to restart the great age of Humanity, that so long ago flickered out in a wall of nuclear fire. Your resources are few, but with help from the Mainframe, you can prosper in this New World.
What the heck happened between 2014 and 2485?: Well, with the decline of the world-wide economy after the Greece and United States budget problems, a massive earthquake shook the Western coast of the United States, causing states along the border to become severely damaged. After this incident, Oil prices rose to $90 per gallon, causing oil wars across the world. The first to fall was Egypt which was conquered by a joint NATO offensive, followed by other Saudia Arabian countries. Then in South America, the different countries declared war on each other and that caused oil prices to rise up due to the destruction of Venezuelan Oil Resources.
In the year 2020, with the endless amount of wars and protest engulfing the globe, the United Nations was dismantled as none of the members no longer wanted to go by their regulations due to them losing a very big profit, and soon the European Union fell, but established itself as a whole country to try and preserve itself in this war. When the year 2040 came, America controlled South America, the Caribbean, and all of North America and established itself as the United American States, with Asia forming a federation between them for defense. By 2045, a station coined by the Catholic Pope "The Mainframe" was established in orbit, as religious order had all, but collapsed, Catholics, Protestants, and many other religions fled to the station, and dedicated themselves to a new religion of "Protection and Prosperity". Three years after, with oil still needed to fuel everyone economy, the United States launched Nuclear Weapons at the others to try and rid them from the earth, so all the remaining oil would be theirs. This led to the utter and complete destruction of all countries, and only small nomadic tribes.
In 2485, those large numbers of people are ready to retake the wasteland, due to three centuries' worth of repopulation. With help from the Mainframe, purification technologies of Nuclear Wastelands could be reverted, and the earth could be reset in certain areas. All known technology is aboard the Mainframe, along with futuristic technologies that are stored in the databanks as most of the libraries on earth are destroyed.
With the Mainframe as guidance, how will your new nation fare? Your starting technology level is the year of 1945, the year that World War II ended which paved the way for new revolutionary military weapons of war.
Below is the official map of this RP. It shows major powers and nations of the world of 2485.

Below are a few rules to go over:
Timescale:
Each turn will constitute six months. Two turns will complete a year of gameplay. I will conclude every turn with a new post informing all players of the progress done in matter of technology, industry, economy, land gains (if any), etc. Players may request me to end or continue a turn in case things are not progressing at the desired speed. Be aware that ship transport, moving your armies and sending telegrams is not very quick to do.
Historical Accuracy:
What does this mean? Well it means basically, every new nation will start out with late 18th century equipment. Which we will start from 1938 equipment and advance. Of course, the Mainframe has futuristic equipment as they salvaged the books and such, but they will be weary of trading their secrets with you. The mainframe will not sell you thing that are made past the 1950s and will not sell you nuclear weapons.
Waging War:
Any conflict that is started must be waged reasonably and realistically. Also be aware of the terrain you are invading as that is a determining factor in battles. Troop mobilization on a nationwide scale takes time as well, at the very least two weeks for the most advanced nations just in the home region depending on population.
Technology:
Most of the Technology is obtained by personal research on your end, however some of you can trade some valuable things with the Mainframe that they may request from nations on the ground to fulfill, and if you do they may give you blueprints or such. Keep in mind, the Mainframe will only give you reasonable items that were made before 1970, so don't expect power armor or such (Even though they have it) or buying the blueprint of a MiG-31, because we want to give every nation a small advantage, but not as much to bring certain defeat to another.
Know How to Lose:
If you lose, say good game and go on. You can request to play as a revolutionary with new goals in the country you lost power in if you wish, just be realistic and don't go out there doing superman style politics/warfare.
Meta-Gaming:
What is meta-gaming? If something is talked about in OOC, for example a invasion plan for Afghanistan. I don't want someone going in there and placing troops in the way of the plan just from what they read in OOC.
The Mainframe:
What exactly is The Mainframe? The Mainframe is going to be my OP faction, that doesn't control any Territory, It basically is the "New God" of earth, and it watches over the planet to see how it evolves. From time to time, we may require fuel, or food ect, to bring up to our Space Station if things go wrong as we still rely on Earth for resources to keep the station going. It has basically purified the Entire earth, so that all remains of the Nuclear Wasteland are gone and it is just a grassy earth. The Mainframe can trade you seeds for trees, plants, and a special seed to get ponds and lakes going for starters ect, but everything else is up to you. Be advised, the Mainframe can be your best friend, or worst enemy. Although they will never invade you for wars you start on earth, if you cause any major problems that threatens the prosperity of the mainframe, they can invade your territory to make up the deficit for lost goods, but that is very war or they can refuse to do business with you, which will probably put you behind every country that likes the Mainframe. Be advised, you can also have your Head of State or any Minister as a Historical Figure. The Mainframe is RPed to be able to bring historic characters to assist you, like George Washington, Queen Elizabeth, Hirohito, or any famous politician, movie star, whatever. If they were in the past, you can have them in your country. To contact The Mainframe, they are watching you, and all you have to do to get their attention is to activate "Project Beam". Project Beam is a remote with only one button, it is the only thing in your country that is high-tech, and should be guarded heavily as it is a direct link to your grand ally/enemy. If you lose it, you will lose contact with The Mainframe, and will not be able to conduct business with them. When the button is pressed, The Mainframe will dispatch a ship down to speak to your leader. So don't lose it!
The Overseer:
The Overseer is a God, that is not seen nor can be controlled by even the Mainframe, although nothing it does affects the Mainframe directly, and it is not there to harm The Mainframe. The Overseer is chosen from the players that have a nation, and this player will have to be neutral in all encounters and scenarios and will have the power to do the following: Create plagues upon nations, Increase or decrease partisans in a occupied nation (Allows for Rebellious organizations to be applied for in countries), have a natural disaster occur in any nation, create bad harvest or times of plenty, and then also be the one to decide which nations win which battles.. The God player will also play as indigenous people of unclaimed areas. The God Player will be chosen when the IC starts after 10 post depending on who I think can handle it within a realism setting.
Current Overseer: [nation][/nation]
Nuclear Wasteland:
Wheres the fun of being a Nuclear Wasteland in a setting like this? Your answer, we are not! The Mainframe purified all nuclear areas, and the terrain is back to 2014 terrain and climate. You just have 1945 equipment although you all remember the Nuclear Wasteland, you are now to colonize and re-civilize society.
Unclaimed Regions:
Regions that are unclaimed by people will be Rped as bandits or tribes people, and you will have to fight them and then colonize in a realistic fashion. I will allow the Overseer when we get one to control those groups, but at the moment a random player will RP them.
Historical Characters:
Yes, you can have historical rulers ect, but you got to take some things into account. Even though The Mainframe has teleported him in, if he was born in 1650 and died in 1690, he will never know what happened after. So therefore, he will be a alien to 1945 technology so you will have to RP that for him. They can be your foreign minister, chief of military, whatever. If you have any questions about this, ask me. You will start out with 10 historical people, as a gift of survival from the mainframe. After that, you will have to buy historical people for a very expensive price.
Navy and Air Force:
As it has been about 60 years, you have a navy. You will start out with the blueprints of of 1 Battleship, 3 Destroyers, 5 Submarines, and 10 Patrol Boats. These ship has to be form the same class and type. For example, you have 5 frigates, they must be from the same class, not one of this class and one of another class. This rule also applies for Air Force. As for the Air Force, you really don't have one. You have been focusing on the navy and army so you didn't focus on your Air Force yet. But lucky for you, the mainframe gave you the blueprints for the aircraft you ask for. So, for the air force, you will start out with 1 Bomber, 10 Fighter planes, and 3 Transport Aircraft.
Blueprints
The Mainframe has 10 blue prints of each thing. So for example, the mainframe would have only 10 blueprints for the M1 Carbine. If you buy that blueprint, you can make more copies of the blueprint. No one else can have M1 Carbines, unless if you sell it to them.
