None off the top of my head, at least not in P2TM.

Ask F&NI, and try not to piss off the realwankers.

Cylarn?

What about Cylarn?

[Altito Asmoro]

Cylarn?

What about Cylarn?

He serves in Military, I recall.

Although we have Reverend Norv too. And TK

Oh, really? Hmm.

[Vancon]

I am looking for someone who is pretty much an expert in US military invasions. As in the Units that are involved, how long it takes to plan it, who leads it, ETC.

You want a soldier? Go to one of the Mil-realism forums, you'll find what you're looking for.

I am not half the military expert that Reverend Norv is, sadly. However, Norv is usually out saving the world.

Sadly, I'm also not in the military, though I was an Army ROTC cadet for a short time, and I attended a senior military college for about 2 years. I also read, a lot.

It is...different from being in military? Senior military college and Army ROTC cadet are different with military service?

Because he's Reverend.

[Nazi Flower Power]

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"?

The Confederate invasion used orbital bombardment, which is one of the things that destabilized the planet's ecology. There wasn't much man-to-man fighting on the ground. Most of the original Nazi cities were reduced to craters and nothing is left of them except bits of debris scattered across the countryside. There are a few exceptions, but they are not in New Eden or Weimar. Many small settlements survived because they were not worth the trouble of bombing, and new cities were built after the war. Mengele was originally a hospital in a rural location, but a refugee camp accumulated around it during the war and it was built up into a small city in the postwar period. Weimar was originally a silver mine. There is a 2nd city in the Weimar Republic called Vergissmeinnicht that is built around a smaller and slightly newer pre-war silver mine.

Most things are solar-powered because there is plenty of sunlight. Other parts of the universe may rely more on other power sources, but New Saxony happens to have a huge surplus of sunlight and empty land. Damage to the solar panels from sandstorms is a problem. Some places are protected by forcefields to keep the sandstorms out, but they are not 100% effective or reliable.

The Confederate invasion was about 150 years ago, so there has been some time for things to settle down and get rebuilt, but the area where this takes place is kind of a backwater. It has a lot of problems that the Confederate could fix if it wasn't busy respecting New Eden's states' rights. The whole planet is backward compared to other solar systems, and New Eden is the most backward place on the planet.

The terraforming was done with a variety of technology, that I haven't decided all the details of because it's not relevant to any of the stories I wanted to tell. It began 250 to 300 years ago and it did include GMOs. The Nazis also genetically engineered themselves along with their crops, so there are some Nazi "foods" that nobody else can eat without getting sick. Nazi aloe is a common food in Weimar, but toxic to most people in the Confederacy.

There are a couple of different types of space travel, none of which I would categorize as "big dirty rockets," but the nearest spaceport is in Vergissmeinnicht, and that only has flights to Kreuzmond (a lunar colony) and a couple of space stations. Short-range space craft can land in the desert pretty much anywhere there's a flat space, but I'm not sure who would be using them. Weimar and New Eden border each other by land, and their conflict is a very localized issue. Weimarer spacecraft and aircraft are more likely than ground vehicles to run into trouble with Confederate authorities for trespassing where they are not wanted. Short-range space craft are battery-powered. Interstellar flights use an FTL drive that works by bending space to create a sort of portable wormhole. It is too clunky and expensive for most people to do a lot of interstellar travel, and it was even clunkier in the 23rd century when New Saxony was first colonized. Permanent wormholes that allow faster and more convenient interstellar travel have been built to connect some solar systems, but New Saxony has very limited wormhole connections.

Roads between cities suck or don't exist because there are good hovercraft that don't need a flat surface to drive smoothly. Hovercraft still have problems with sandstorms because of the high winds. They are powered by rechargeable batteries and people usually call them "cars" rather than "hovercraft," but I said "hovercraft" to make it clearer what I was talking about. Mag trains, which are somewhat faster and better at coping with sandstorms, run between larger cities. Mengele, Weimar, and Vergissmeinnicht are all on the same mag line. Mengele and Weimar have trains to cities all over the Confederacy, and Vergissmeinnicht has trains to Rommelia and the North.

Laser and plasma guns exist. It's less common, but not completely unheard of, to find people still using projectile weapons. Forcefields used as armor against laser weapons won't always stop a traditional bullet. People who are serious about not getting shot (such as the Confederate military) use a combination of bulletproof materials and forcefields. New Eden and Weimar are not heavily militarized.

Sentient machines exist, but they are relatively rare because the whole planet has a strong preference for flesh and blood people using electronic tools rather than a society of electronic people.

Some people have "psies" (singular "psy"), or "psychic modems," which they can use to communicate telepathically, but the Christians in New Eden oppose this on religious grounds. It is common in Weimar, and a few people have them in Mengele. Some people also have animals that they control using their psy, so if a dog is watching you, its owner might be able to see you too. There are no large hiveminds based in New Eden or Weimar, but they do exist elsewhere in the universe and it is possible for them to visit. Weimar has a few representatives of foreign hiveminds who live there to keep an eye on things. It's possible that one or two also live in Mengele, and there are definitely some in other Confederate states. It's possible to make phone calls or send text messages where one person is using a psy and the other is using an ordinary phone. Normally, psies can be turned off, but some hiveminds use variants that do not have an off switch. Representatives of hiveminds that are based on other planets may have a slow connection with their hivemind, which annoys them and forces them to do more of their own thinking than they are accustomed to. All interstellar communication such as phone calls, internet, psionic calls, etc. has a delay because of the distance.

The Confederate banking system, including New Eden, is entirely electronic. Weimar still uses paper currency in addition to electronic banking.

People have cooling systems built into their jackets so they can go out in hot weather that might otherwise give them heat stroke, and they have really fucking powerful sunscreen.

This is a lovely scenario. I'm keeping an eye on this.

Ooh. This is cool.

A few questions, though,
Where did the colonisers come from? Just outcasts from Earth or somewhere else?
How big is the planet? Just earth sized?
How do the cities work? Are they in big domes, or are they just all really good air conditioned buildings, what?

I really like it.

A few questions, though,
Where did the colonisers come from? Just outcasts from Earth or somewhere else?

Outcasts from a variety of places. Places closer to Earth like Mars, the Moon, Jupiter's moons, Vega System, etc. were colonized earlier, so some of the colonists came by way of those places instead of directly from Earth.

How big is the planet? Just earth sized?

Bigger than Earth, but not so much that people need special protection from the gravity. The natural day is roughly 49 hours, but people still use a 24 hour clock, so the sun does not always line up with people's schedules. Weimar uses the German words "Tag," "Nacht," "Mittag," and "Mitternacht" to refer to times of the natural day, and English words to refer to times according to the clock.

How do the cities work? Are they in big domes, or are they just all really good air conditioned buildings, what?

Different cities are built different ways. Most cities in New Eden have their streets underground. Sometimes the whole city is underground, but usually there are some buildings that rise above ground level and have thick tinted windows. Sometimes the streets are above ground, but they are roofed over to keep the elements out. Weimar, Vergissmeinnicht, and Mengele all have some open-air streets. The Nazis genetically engineered themselves to cope with the heat better than ordinary humans, they have more effective cooling clothes, and they aren't as preoccupied with keeping foreigners out, so they don't need to be as careful about sealing everything off. Weimar also has a forcefield to hold cooler air in, so it is not quite as hot as the surrounding countryside. They still mostly stay indoors or underground unless it is dusk or dark, and all cities have some tunnels or covered walkways to get around when it's too hot to use the open streets. Even with Weimar's protective forcefield, it still is usually unpleasantly bright and a bit toasty when the sun is up.

Nobody builds solid domes over their cities because it's less efficient than just roofing individual streets, but using a giant forcefield to make a protective bubble over a city is a common trick. Weimar does this and it is common in the more developed Confederate states. Vergissmeinnicht and most cities in New Eden just have smaller forcefields over specific buildings that need to be sheltered, but not a big one for the whole city.

I'm thinking the setting where I want to start this story is going to be a city called Stonewall that has smaller forcefields to protect the areas around the airlocks (which is also where they put a bunch of solar panels), but most of the city is just solidly built and/or underground.

I really like it.

Thanks.

I'm not sure I'll have time with an RP I'm OPing about to start, but I'm very interested at the very least. Count me a lurker, perhaps.

[Tes Enger]

Okay, I decided something on my murder mystery RP idea. I thought it could be about some people who go to an abandoned mental institution believed to be haunted. Each one of them goes crazy then the murder happens. That's all I got.

Start asking yourself things like ''Where did the haunting originate'' or ''When was the institute abandoned'' etc... You'll get some more from that.

Hello: I wanted to field a draft of an RP to see General opinion. Please be brutal.

What if the Allies lost World War 2 and the Nazi's ruled the world?

I understand that the backstory below is beyond impossible in reality and that I will probably get a lot of heat from those of you who love history or are extremely knowledgeable about WWII. That is why it is an Alternate-History/Alternate-Universe RP.

Normandy, June 6th, 1944

........You are an American Marine on board a Higgins Landing Craft carving through the waves and making its way towards Omaha Beach where fighting is already heavy and fierce. An Officer is shouted orders at the twenty of you waiting tentavely and nervously in the boat. "Alright boys! We hit 'em hard an' fast! No retreat! Get to the shingle! Do not stop until ya hit tha shingle!" Then they hit the beach as the Ramp falls open and you all charge out as bullets fly from the German Machine Guns in the Bunkers. You watch in horror as three of your comrades go down in a bloody mess in the first few seconds.
You charge out with the remaining Marines from your Squad as you see a German 88 Artillery Gun open fire and you roll away in time as it hits behind you and tears several more of your comrades apart as you feel tears coming to your eyes as you watch several of your friends get blown to pieces. You duck behind a Tank Trap and breath deeply but then you hear an explosion and look back to see a German Bunker going up in flames as American Marines charge their positions. You grin as you begin to walk forward thinking the battle won.
And then it happens. As American Troops rush past the German Bunkers and into the trenches, the cliff erupts in explosions. Giant Shells like those from a Naval Gun are falling on the Allied Forces. And not only that but German Fighter Planes and Bombers are hitting your positions as well. They soar past you and out to sea to attack the Allied Fleet. And then you see German Tanks appearing on the hill. Men are running back to their boats in waves.
You try to run but you cant seem to make your legs move but finally as a shell hits and kills six men nearby you find the strength to run back towards the Landing Craft, that is until you see the Allied Fleet embattled out at sea and then a German Fighter Plane strafes your Landing Craft and it goes up in flames. Before you can react you feel a searing pain in your left leg and go down on your knee's as you turn and face the advancing German Forces. One man among a sea of thousands of corpses.
One Machine Gun Burst later and you are lying face up in the sand as you stare at the sky and think 'Why? Why?'............

When the Allies were defeated at Normandy, the Russians were unable to make a decisive push against the Germans because no new troops were required to be transferred to the Western Front meaning the Eastern Front stood at a standstill on both sides. On June 12th, 1944 Allied High Command discovered that German Agents within British Intelligence had passed the information along to Hitler that the supposed Invasion of Calais or another point was a fake and the real strike was coming at Normandy allowing the German General's Staff to organize a suitable counter-attack and hit the Allies before they could gain a suitable position. With this revelation of British Intelligence being compromised in such a large way, it brought Allied Efforts across Europe and North Africa to a halt, not knowing whether or not to trust the information they were given. Taking advantage of this, German Forces swept down into Italy beating back the Allied Forces there, fielding a brand new weapon from their Wunderwaffe Program, the Panzer VIII Maus Super Tank, crushing Allied Troops across the Italian Front. By September, 1944 German Forces had recaptured Italy and restored Mussolini to power, bringing Italy back into the war. The new Italian Government which had declared war on Germany was wiped out and its supporters forced to flee the country. In October, the Allied Powers on the Western and African Fronts made a push to try and force the Germans to relocate troops from the Eastern Front to counter it in order to free up Russian Forces to push forward. Halfway through the month, an all out Bombing Attack was launched against German-Occupied France, with over 1,000 Bombers participating in the action across Occupied France targeting Supply and Troop positions. However, yet another weapon flowed out from the Wunderwaffe Program, two actually, the first being the Flakpanzer Kugelblitz a Self-Propelled AA Gun which wreaked havoc in the sky and the second being the Focke-Wulf Ta 152 High Altitude Fighter. Together these two new weapons destroyed more than half of the Bomber Force launched by the Allies with the Allied Air Power only able to inflict minimal damage against the German Forces in France. The German Wonder Weapon Program churned out more and more new weapons to use against the Allies, utilizing every last scientific mind in the Third Reich and putting more than 40% of the industry under the supervision of the program. The Germans bombed London, Moscow, and numerous other targets using their new He 343 Jet Bomber's; The Luftwaffe shattered the Allied Bomber Power with their Me 262 and Ho 229 Jet Fighters; The German Naval Power rose again with the new H-Class Battleships and Rocket U-Boat Ballistic Missile Submarines; The Wehrmacht utilized their new Super Tanks to spearhead their way forward on the Eastern Front. In order to meet the industrial capacity required to keep up the production of their new War Machines, the Nazi's invaded Spain and Portugal from France taking the two countries in just three weeks, whilst another force seized Romania and Bulgaria. This allowed the German War Machine to be sustained. In order to sustain the economy of the Reich, Hitler ordered the revival of the more humane industries such as Automobiles and Agriculture, mostly in the occupied territories.
Throughout the remainder of 1944 and into early 1945, the revived Axis Powers in Europe beat back the Allies on all Fronts, whilst in the Pacific the Japanese Empire was in a holdout against the United States. German Scientists found their way via U-Boat to Japan to help them develop their way to get back to winning the war. On March 3rd, 1945 as a combined Filipino/American Assault was being made to capture Manila, the Japanese fielded the product of the combined German-Japanese Scientific Initiative: The Kawanishi Baika Jet Fighter, which swept across the sky's destroying the Allied Air Cover and turning the tide for the Japanese so that they were now the winning side. The next day multiple V-2 Rockets loaned to Japan by Germany are launched and the Allied Fleet still anchored off Manila is wiped out, and soon after the road to Rangoon is once again secured by Japanese Troops. Following that another new weapon; the Japanese Nakajima G10N Ultra-Long Range Heavy Bomber, the project having been restarted earlier, was fielded and used to bomb multiple American Bases in the Pacific on March 12th through 16th. These repercussions threw a monkey wrench into previous American Plans for victory in the Pacific, which was a very hoped for victory considering the worsening Allied Situation in Europe. The Allied High Command believed that if it took Japan out of the war it could cut off resources flowing from them to Germany and vice versa, and free up more than a million American Troops for the European Theater. However by April 1st, 1945 when Japanese Warships began shelling American Forces on Iwo Jima, it became clear that victory in the Pacific was at that moment as far off as victory in Europe. With the Japanese having the benefit of some of the best scientists of the Wunderwaffe Program, the Allies now were facing super weapons on all fronts. Not only that but with the help of the Germans, the Japanese developed a new code without the knowledge of the Allies. Allied Intelligence kept intercepting Japanese Messages but without the ability to decode them. This meant that the Allies know longer could be one step ahead of the Japanese.
A true low for the Allies came on May 26th, 1945 when more than two hundred German V-2 Rockets were launched at various targets in Russia, wiping out over one and half million Soviet Troops in just one day. Following that on May 27th, German Forces made a blitzkrieg into Russia capturing positions from Leningrad down to Rostov effectively establishing a line separating Soviet Russia from German-Occupied Russia. The Russians did not have much breathing time as on June 1st, the Germans fielded another weapon; the Schwerer Gustav Rail-Mounted Howitzer and with their new line established about 200 Kilometers west of Moscow, that meant that German Forces could shell any Russian Forces and Defensive Emplacements on the outskirts of the Russian Capital's Defense Line. On June 5th, another V-2 Bombardment took place against Soviet Cities to the east of Rostov, wiping out over a million Soviet Troops and allowing German Troops to launch another push on June 7th, capturing the way to Turkey and extending their line so that it spanned from the Sea of Azov to the Caspian Sea. In mid-June, Stalin began trying to negotiate a peace agreement with Hitler but the only condition the Nazi Leader would accept is absolute submission of the Soviet Nation to German Rule and the disbandment of the Soviet Armed Forces along with the release of all German Prisoners of War. Stalin refused and the German Offensive started back up. However Hitler knew it was vital to make sure that the Russians were unable to destroy any valuable recourses that German Forces could capture so he ordered that the Luftwaffe begin dropping Paratroopers into Industrial Areas and such before attacks so they could prevent the Russians from destroying what could be vital factories. The tactic saw much success considering the already mass disorder amongst the Red Army.
Whilst the Germans advanced on the Eastern Front, at the same time the Allied Powers in the west attempted yet another invasion of German-Occupied Europe, this time selecting Dunkirk and Calais, with the British and French taking Calais and America and other Resistance Forces taking Dunkirk. More than half a million Troops were to be utilized in Dunkirk and over a million were to be used at Calais and full support was to be provided by the RAF and Allied Naval Forces in England. It was the Western Allies desperate all-out last attempt to turn the tide of the war. The two Invasion Forces were launched from Portsmouth on May 28th, 1945 however not more than an hour later they were spotted from the air. They were not even spotted by a Recon Plane but the lead plane of a German Bomber Group on its way to bomb a target in Britain. The information was quickly sent to German Air and Naval Bases in France and a counter effort was quickly mobilized. Over 5,000 German Fighters and Bombers lifted off from Air Bases in France and a Naval Fleet of some half a hundred Surface Vessels and half a thousand Submersible Vessels set sail from Naval Bases. In the evening of May 28th, the two fleets clashed and though the Allies had the advantage of many more surface Warships than the Germans, the German Naval Fleet had some 500 Submarine Vessels putting the Allies at a distinct disadvantage. The Allies were also deprived of some of their Air Cover as the same German Bomber Group which spotted their Invasion Force before it split, bombed several of the Air Bases to be used for launching the two forces air cover. It turned into an all out Naval Battle. The battle would be waged for over a week with both sides taking losses however the Allies had utilized all their combat-able Vessels and Aircraft for this invasion, with practically all the remaining vessels of the Allied Naval Power being in ports for repairs or construction, whereas the German Naval Forces received reinforcements from Bases in France. Finally on June 3rd, the Allies had taken critical casualties forcing them to retreat from battle, though the German Forces did not pursue and merely returned to their bases. The Allies had lost their last hope of a successful counter-offensive in Europe, the bulk of their main troops having been wiped out in what came to be known as the Great Battle for the Channel. Their last hope lay in the Manhattan Project, the High Command desperately hoping that an Atomic Weapon would be churned out that could turn the tide of the war. However the thought of trying to negotiate a peace agreement was dismissed as they believed Hitler would only accept an unconditional surrender. On June 5th, the same day as the second major German Push into Russia, the Allies began the process of converting their remaining forces in England into a defensive force. All attempts to recall troops from Africa were useless as said forces had been destroyed months before.
Though the Allies had been unable to recall their troops from Africa, there was still an effort made by the scattered British, French, and American Forces alongside multiple Resistance Groups in North Africa. On June 16th, more than 50,000 Assorted Allied and Resistance Troops made an assault against the Heavily fortified German Position at Tobruk. Though making good headway at first, within several hours of the attack large elements of Field Marshal Rommel's Tank Corps arrived to reinforce Tobruk, quickly turning the tide against the Allied Troops. By day's end the entire Allied Force had been wiped out.
June 21st, 1945 the German Wunderwaffe Program produced one of its most devastating weapons yet, which would eventually push the United States onto the definite defensive on both sides of the world; the Ju 390 Ultra-Long Range Heavy Bomber, an aircraft capable of reaching the Eastern Seaboard of the United States, a range once only thought to be fantasy for a Bomber. On the evening of June 22nd, 1945 the citizens of New York City were all suddenly awoken by a roar of explosions in the streets as hundreds upon hundreds of bombs fell upon the city. The air raid was conducted by the entire stock of 390's the Germans had available at the moment, some 100 aircraft with each being able to carry up to 25,000 Pounds of Bombs. By the morning, more than half a million citizens had been killed by the raid and the USAAF had only been able to down one of the German Bombers. With such a destructive new weapon available to the German War Machine, this prompted a stress for the Manhattan Project to increase its Research and Production Speed and produce a Nuclear Weapon. There were also calls from millions of U.S. Citizens to the government for a peace settlement with the Axis Powers, for surrender even. All out of fear of what would come next. On June 26th, the Germans unveiled yet another of their new long range Bombers; the He 277 which when combined with the 390's, allowed the Germans to hit cities along the entire Eastern Seaboard every day. By the end of the month, more than one million civilian casualties and over half a million military casualties had been suffered by the United States and more than twenty cities had been devastated.
After this victory, Hitler and the Allies both realized an upcoming problem for Germany which could possibly turn the war back around in the Allies favor. Throughout the war, Germany had been steadily trying to develop a Synthetic Fuel, however these efforts were not producing very positive results meaning the German War Machine continued to rely on Oil Reserves in the captured Regions of the Soviet Union along with those in Romania and Bulgaria and Africa. Such a large supply kept the German War Machine going for a long time but Hitler's all out offensive on the Allies and the world along with the vast increase in Vehicles used in the German Army, had used up a large percentage of that supply. If the supply got too low it would grind the German Offensive to a halt in everything but the Infantry and Artillery, which would allow the Allies to regroup and possibly launch a counter-offensive. However the nations in the Middle East were abundant in Oil Reserves combining to a total Supply more than twice the original full Oil Supply of Germany. After being tipped off by Great Britain, the nations of Turkey, Iran, and Iraq began shoring up the border with Europe into the Middle East. However on June 29th, the combined Eastern Armies were still caught off guard by the sudden blitz by elements of the newly created 21st Army Group E down from Russia into Turkey accompanied by mass Paradrops by the Luftwaffe and amphibious Landings by the Kriegsmarine on the coast. As with the majority of Europe in the beginning of the war, it did not take the Nazi's long to secure the Middle East. By July 1st, the vast Oil Supply of the Middle East was under German Control.
Whilst the Manhattan Project had been steadily losing it's scientists and resources to the Axis Victories around the world, the German Nuclear Weapon Program had been steadily growing and soon, the Wunderwaffe Program in collaboration with the Nuclear Weapon Program turned out the very first prototype Nuclear Weapon. And on July 4th, they used it, against the United States. Despite the war going on, the United States still celebrated the founding of their nation, a great parade was held in the Capital of Washington D.C. to boost morale with millions flooding into the city to see. Unfortunately for them, neither the United States Air Force nor any Anti-Air Battery along the coast detected the sole He 343 Jet Bomber, another new weapon developed specifically for carrying Nuclear Weapons, flying towards the Capital. At exactly 11:00 PM on July 4th, 1945, an Atomic Bomb fell on Washington D.C. wiping out more than half the city along with some six and a half million people both military and civilian. The saving grace of the rest of the city was that the Bomb was only a prototype not a full version otherwise the full city would have been wiped out. The next day, Hitler announced to the world that the night before the Luftwaffe dropped an Atomic Bomb on Washington. Many of the smaller nations in the Allied Powers quickly left the Alliance in favor of survival.
Over the course of the next year the Axis Powers continued their push across the world, their combined control spanning across Africa, Asia, and Europe, so that by January, 1946 the Axis Powers were literally at the doorstep of the Allied Home Nations; German Forces were within six miles of the outskirts of Moscow; Italian and Romanian Forces had advanced on Turkey and had Istanbul surrounded; German, Italian, and Finnish Naval Forces were sitting just off the coast along England and Scotland; Japanese Forces were within a little over ten miles from Hawaii. The Allies could easily be crushed in one fell swoop however Hitler decided to try and improve his image with the world in a play to spare the effort of numerous invasions, and announced he would accept the surrender of any of the Allied Nations or an Armistice with any. However without informing Hitler, Goering had ordered the Luftwaffe to destroy Radio Stations in England and Russia so that America was the only nation which received the message. On January 18th, 1946 President Dwight D. Eisenhower, elected mostly because the people thought a military leader would be best suited to lead their nation in the dark hours, along with numerous representatives from Congress met with Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Emperor Hirohito on the New Flagship of the German Fleet, the H-Class Battleship, Reichsbane, and signed a surrender with the Axis Powers. The terms of this included that the Eastern Seaboard of the United States would come under Provincial German Rule and the United States Military must be reduced in size greatly. Against Hitler's Wunderwaffe and now German Nuclear Weapons, Eisenhower had no choice but to accept the terms. In this way, Germany controlled the Eastern Seaboard of the United States from afar by keeping the threat of Nuclear Attack hanging over America's head without having to send occupying troops overseas to America itself. Nazi Governors were appointed to control each state, and several fledgling white supremacy groups operating in the Eastern United States were swelled to become a Provincial Nazi Police.
Hitler believed that the Russians and British were simply paying him an insult by just ignoring his offer of peace and ordered the General's Staff to order German Forces around Moscow to close in on the city full force. On January 20th, German Forces made a full advance against the city of Moscow with more than three million Troops against a defending Army of some five million hurriedly conscripted and inexperienced Soviet Conscripts. A week long bombardment by the German Rail-Mounted Howitzers and Luftwaffe Heavy Bombers quickly subdued the rebellious populous. As for the British, Hitler ordered an Atomic Bombing of London to wipe out the British Capital along with Winston Churchill. However British Intelligence managed to catch word of the plan and immediately got Prime Minister Churchill and the rest of the British Government out of the country. On February 6th, 1946, an Atomic Bomb was dropped on London wiping out it and the 100,000 Civilians that had yet to be evacuated. The British Government fled to Canada after the Nazi's dropped another Atomic Bomb on Dublin on March 1st. The United Kingdom officially surrendered however the British Government remained in hiding.
There remained only one true enemy to the Axis Powers and that was the combined Resistance Forces in Europe. Some 150,000 French, British, Russian, Spanish, German, Belgian, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, and Romanian Resistance Forces made a final assault against the heavily defended city of Paris on April 1st, 1946. They fought hard against the 25,000 German Garrison in Paris and by nightfall had forced the Germans into a form of house-to-house urban warfare, repelling several counterattacks made by German reinforcements. However on April 2nd, Hitler announced that if the Resistance Forces did not surrender, an Atomic Bomb would be dropped on Paris. Under the threat of the destruction of Paris, the Resistance Forces surrendered.
By May, 1946 the Axis Powers had divided up the world and now they ruled it.

......Okay now that our little introduction is out of the way, those two stories were things that may have happened in an Alternate History of D-Day Failing and the Axis making a counter assault on the Allies. So in this RP it is an alternate history where the Axis Powers won the Second World War and divided the world up under their jurisdiction as follows:

Nazi Germany: Lead by Adolf Hitler
Germany
Austria
France
Belgium
The Netherlands
Romania
Bulgaria
Hungary
Poland
Great Britain
Denmark
Norway
Russian Territory West of Moscow
Argentina
The Eastern United States

Kingdom of Italy: Lead by Benito Mussolini
Italy
Spain
Egypt
Algeria
Morocco
Libya
Portugal
Turkey

The Japanese Empire: Lead by Emperor Hirohito
China
Indonesia
IndoChina
North and South Korea

The only truly free country left in the world was Switzerland where not even the Nazi's dared to disrupt the peace. Thus Switzerland serves as an active headquarters of the Underground Resistance. Leading this resistance is a mysterious leader known as "General X". The Resistance is made up of citizens of all countries; England, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Russia, Austria, Egypt, America, Canada, Japan, and other such countries. However though they have thousands of members, the Resistance does not have the firepower to be a real threat, yet.
That is the story up to now. The year is 1968 and it is time for the Nazi's to fall. Lest the world stay in eternal darkness.

Okay so now that you know all the Background and such, we can get on to the other stuff. Firstly, Characters! Now obviously you can be a Resistance Member from anywhich country you want, but you can also be an ordinary citizen under the rule of one of the Three Powers. Or if you choose you can be a Soldier/Officer/Agent of one of the Three Powers.

I'm not trying to be rude. But the last time you did something like this, it was systematically demolished by our resident WWII encyclopedia. Why do the same thing over again? Unless you're secretly a masochist...? :d

And besides, you requested that we be brutal. I told you what I thought.
