The Roaring 20s
Look oh Ye nation and despair, empires crumble, regimes tumble.
Unknown forces now a rumble
Will you make it through the fumble?
Welcome to the Roaring Twenties

Welcome to the Roaring Twenties
It is the third year of the decade, 1923. The world has experienced four of the most brutal years on record, World War One. The triple entente pitted themselves the triple alliance, the blood of millions watered the map of Europe and at the climax the death of four of the strongest empires to ever have existed. But from the ashes, a new world was being born. In the east, a vicious civil war gripped the former Tsarist Empire, with communists gradually gaining the upper hand over the White russians. In the former territories of Russia, Germany and Austria-Hungary, a panoply of new nations emerged. Hungary, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and most importantly, Poland. To the south of the European continent, the Balkans, arguably the cause of the Great War, the boundaries of the unstable peninsula had been drawn once more, with Serbian led Kingdom of Yugoslavia dominating the area. Bulgaria, a member of the central powers, was once again belittled, what was left of Bulgarian Thrace handed to Greece. Romania greatly benefitted from siding with the allies, as a result romania has achieved a successful unification of the romanian people. Greece was in a wounded state, after siding with the allies in WWI, it hoped victory would fulfil its Megali Idea. They were never proved so wrong, being thrown out of Smyrna and Eastern Thrace by the newly created Turkish Republic.
France, Britain and America, arguably the greatest victors from the war, seemed to be booming from a post-war economic bliss. The stock market rose and rose and new ideas were pursued. But all was not as it seemed. Much of France was still devastated from the warfare that tore up its countryside, Britain constantly was dealing with Irish question, with Irish rebels fighting a guerrilla war and successfully creating an Irish free state that still has a republic on the agenda. The American power deals with increasing inequality between classes and race.
Germany is but a shadow of its former imperial glory. Losing the war, the treaty of Versailles was imposed upon it. Losing Alsace-Lorraine, Danzig and dealing with heavy economic reparations, it entered a state of great economic decline. But in the Weimar Republic, something was brewing...
Italy, feeling left out of the post war settlements and under represented in the gains of the war, was overtaken by a completely new form of Government, Facism. Driven by new imperialist desires, this government could sent shockwaves around the world...
And thus is the world in 1923. A red menace looms in the minds of every god fearing country whilst a violent new form of politics plans to take the world by storm. It is now up to you to lead your nation to glory or failure.
Hello and welcome to the Roaring 20s RP! As stated already, it begins in 1923, with all events that have happened before hand, happening. But now it's free play from now on in (if you can have logical reasons as to why it happens.) Basically you can be any nation in the world at the time, but as a warning this will mainly Euro-Centric, take that as you will.
Rules:
1. Obey the OP (Moi) and the CO-OPs decisions
2. Be realistic in your post. Germany cannot suddenly remilitarise into a great military power within a year.
3. Posts must be five lines long at least
4. Absolutely no flaming whatsoever. If you have a problem with the way another player is acting, bring it up with me or the CO-OP and we will figure it out.

6. Maintain a good level of English, thanks.
7. One Page = Two weeks
