Chaos Edition
The Year Is: 2019
Some years ago, in 2013, the great nation of Columbia (NOT Colombia) was founded by James Nicholas Andrews, an eccentric American billionaire, in the uninhabited region known as Bir Tawil. He modeled this nation off of the early United States, and pledged it to be a nation that put their people's wishes first and foremost. Shortly after the founding of the nation, wealthy citizens of countries all across the world jumped at the chance to take part in the creation in development of the nation. Initially, there was a single party, known as the Pioneer Party as its shortened name, that embraced the ideals of Manifest Destiny and making one's own way. Aside from that, it was a moderately conservative party, and continued as the majority party for some time. Near the beginning of the nation, another party sprung up, the Progressive Party, led by one Xavier J.T. King. This became the largest left-wing party of the new nation, akin to the American Democrats in many ways. Now, two years later, with only two years remaining of Andrews' initial term, development of a few cities has been mostly completed, and roads to and through those cities are completed. However, the nations faces many trials and tribulations near in its future, with the ever-growing water problem, rebel insurgents (the most notable of which being the Black Phoenix), tensions with nearby nations, and perhaps most dangerous of all, the chance that the next person elected is a dictator. What will you become, and what will you make this nation?
Map:
- No godmodding. Plain and simple. For instance, don't say the outcome of the presidential election. You can say who you vote for, and you can control elections within your political party as long as no one else is in it.
- If you leave, could you tell me why? Not really a rule, I just want to improve my RPs in the future.
- I know this is vague, but don't do anything ridiculous. I don't want to see your character buying the United States for a U.S. five dollar bill early in the game.
- The magic of convenience does not exist here. If you want to, for instance, stage a coup, you need intense preparation. Where do you get the guns? How do you get all of the people on your side? How do you avoid the government finding out about you? How do you plan the coup? etc.
- You can have multiple characters, but know your limits. Don't play as every person in the Senate (if there is one) for instance.
- Try not to get too off-topic on the OOC. I'm pretty lax, but I have limits.
- If you're planning on taking a vacation, or just aren't going to post for a while, please tell me. Definitely tell me if you're leaving permanently, so I can kill your characters.
- Lastly, if there's something I haven't mentioned here, but you think it would be a bad idea, or should be against the rules, you probably shouldn't do it. At least check with me before you do.
