My Idea is to have me Play the President, the Co-Ops play the Chinese leader and the Secretaries of the Navy, Air Force, and Army, and the Joint Chiefs. From there people would then be asked to make a commander for every unit involved. And then ground troops if we have room.

I like that idea.

Again, war is far too wide spread and massive in terms of logistics and scale of consequence. You have to factor in everything in terms of economic impact to individual management of nearly countless resources. South America would likely be best, and in doing so, making yourself the General instead of CiC would also likely be best because in reality, the CiC has a Cabinet and chiefs of staff to discuss these things because he can't possibly know everything happening, but his CoC can. On that note, again a counterinsurgency operation means you can quite literally choose any climate you desire to fight in and likewise you're going. To have to decide how many troops you're going to be using and whether or not this will be a Combined Arms match involving the extensive use and support of various branches of the military or not.

You don't, and you don't let anyone do so either. What you do is RP as the General in charge of a NATO task force moving to support a friendly South American government by providing extra force application to their ongoing counterinsurgency operations. You as the Op would play the lead Generals of each faction and the players would be officers under your command. Top-tier brass positions in the General's staff for both factions would likely have to be played by an able and participative co-op.

RP INTEREST AND FEEDBACK REQUEST
Please provide as much detail as possible.
RP's Overarching Concept: A city in a barely inhabitable desert is struggling to survive and having a Nazi problem.
Genre/s: Sci-fi
Character or Faction Based: Character-based.
Detailed Description: 26th century setting on a planet called New Saxony that is hotter than Earth. Many racists, political extremists, and religious fundamentalists have established colonies far removed from Earth where they will not be bothered by modern notions of political correctness. The planet was originally colonized and somewhat terraformed by neo-Nazis. Later, it was invaded by neo-Confederates. In keeping with the neo-Confederate concept of "states' rights" Confederate states are allowed a high degree of autonomy. Genetic engineering and cybernetics are common, but some Christians believe that genetic engineering distances people from God and there are a few who go so far as to teach that genetically engineered people do not have souls. For these sects, it is very important to remain isolated and not interbreed with outsiders. Interbreeding with outsiders poses the risk of polluting the gene pool with artificial genes. These people have founded their own state, New Eden, where they can separate themselves from genetically engineered people. Most cities in New Eden are sealed behind airlocks to protect them from both foreign genes and the local climate.

Around the equator is an uninhabitable desert. New Eden is in the Southern Hemisphere on the edge of the desert where very few plants (and no naturally occurring species from Earth) will grow on the surface and protective gear is required to go outside during the day. The climate is becoming less stable because the Confederates have not maintained the terraforming that was done by the original Nazi colonists, and New Eden's economy is floundering because their isolationist mentality hinders trade. Overcrowding and poverty make it difficult for cities to feed themselves and maintain their infrastructure. If a city suffers a power outage during an unusually hot day, the disruption of their air conditioning can cause crop failures, and in extreme cases people can roast to death in their homes.

There is one city, Mengele, which is open to outsiders. It is a leftover Nazi settlement from before the Christians moved in, but it has also taken in Christians who were exiled from their home cities due to fears that they might be genetically tainted, because they may have had sex with outsiders, or because they were exiled for political reasons. Some Christians also go to Mengele by choice if the hardships of life in New Eden make them question their anti-transhumanist faith. There are also people from other Confederate states, and a tiny number of people from the Northern Hemisphere and the moons.

There are a few isolated Nazi outposts in the mountains, but Mengele is the only place with a significant number of genetically engineered people.

On New Eden's northern border (i.e. further out in the desert) there is a very small independent country called the Weimar Republic, and an enormous sparsely populated country called Rommelia. The Weimar Republic and Rommelia are both predominantly Nazi because the land was too crappy for the Confederates to settle there after the invaded the planet.

To the East, West, and South are Confederate states which do not share New Eden's fundamentalist religion, but are technically part of the same country. The Confederate government protects New Eden from military invasion, and they have restrictions on travel from Rommelia, but they do not prevent civilians from Weimar from crossing the border. So doctors from Weimar have been distributing contraceptives and offering abortions in New Eden, even though this is against state law and religious teachings. They set up portable shelters outside the airlocks and people sneak out of the cities to buy condoms or pills or get an abortion. Most of these efforts are sponsored by a private company called Sendlinger & Schloss which is mainly a condom manufacturer and not a political organization. S&S is hugely successful and even exports to other solar systems. Hess Sendlinger and Doranne Schloss call their work charity or eugenics, but the people in New Eden call it genocide. Abortion is illegal in Weimar, and S&S would never offer back alley abortions in their own country like they do in New Eden.

My idea for an RP was that it would deal with local authorities and citizenry in a small Edenian city that is on the verge of collapse (food supply and cooling system both stretched to the breaking point) and has just found an S&S clinic on their doorstep. People could play both Edenians and S&S employees, both people who want to use the clinic and people who want to get rid of it. (People who visit the clinic risk being exiled if they are caught because they have been alone with outsiders and might possibly have had their DNA tampered with, or the women could have had sex with one of the Weimarer men.)

Need Help With: I've never used P2TM before, haven't RPed anywhere in years, don't quite know the best way to go about setting this up, and don't know if anybody would be interested in it.

Nice to see you, NFP. Now this is quite particular setting.

Pretty interesting, yeah. What sort of tech though? Are the invasions using orbital bombardment and coilguns or assault rifles and kevlar? Terraforming and colonising with space-cars and evolving von Neumann probes or big dirty rockets and "GMOs"?

You have to factor in everything in terms of economic impact to individual management of nearly countless resources. South America would likely be best, and in doing so, making yourself the General instead of CiC would also likely be best because in reality, the CiC has a Cabinet and chiefs of staff to discuss these things because he can't possibly know everything happening, but his CoC can. On that note, again a counterinsurgency operation means you can quite literally choose any climate you desire to fight in and likewise you're going. To have to decide how many troops you're going to be using and whether or not this will be a Combined Arms match involving the extensive use and support of various branches of the military or not.

How about a neo-nazi group in Brazil formed from the Nazis that fled there?
