Background
After the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, the world was supposedly at peace. Finally, the Great War that had taken so many had ended and the world could heal, and again bring itself back into the realm of opulence and splendor. However, history was tor prove that this was not to be. German war reparations, disarmament, the Washington conference, all were supposed signals of a world soon returning to peace, to never again be thrown into the chaos of total war. However, as of 1922, fascism was about to rise. Mussolini had just been declared Premier of Italy, and rumblings throughout the German nation signaled unrest. We see ourselves in the summer of 1932, with German nationalism on the rise. British colonial interests are threatened, as are many of the old European Empires, and soon a new war may break out, although between which factions it is yet to see.
Introduction & Gameplay
Welcome to my first alternate history RP! For this it simple, the gameplay mechanics are few and easy to follow, and this will rely heavily on player involvement. Players will interact, create treaties and hold conferences, scheme, backstab, and conduct deals that will all play a part in maintaining their massive Empires. Each faction will have 4 slots, representing the roles that must be filled by important politicians and generals. These players must work together in order to keep their colonial rulings, and as such it can be expected that infighting and strategizing will be frequent.
The positions themselves are fairly straightforward:
- Head of State - The designated leader of the team, is responsible for all final policy decisions and setting the tone for the team's actions.
- Domestic Affairs Minister - The person responsible for all internal affairs, be they the economy, unemployment, infrastructure, government affairs, legislation, and management of the nation's daily internal workings.
- External Affairs Minister - The chief diplomat, deal negotiator, and foreign correspondent, this person should be the first point of contact for any external non-military consultations, and helps to set the foreign policy and conduct the nation's high-level international affairs.
- Military Attache - Responsible for the daily management of armed forces of each nation, as well as the research and listing of such forces to provide the map with an accurate depiction of current force structure.
Gameplay will be done in cycles of 3 days, with players making actions for those days with their military and trade units, as well as keeping the flow of the days moving. The Head of State may also appoint a Deputy Minister, to assist in the overall management of the Empire. Building off of this, the military units will be organized at the divisional-level, to keep military conflicts clear and to allow for the easy management of forces, considering there will likely be so many. Combat will be decided via both the physical factors (terrain, troop type, etc.) and a decision made with OP discretion, although it shall stray from the latter.

Rules
0. Look at other accepted apps first! Corollary: Read the entire OP and accepted list before you say anything.
I. I am the OP. I am God as long as you're in the RP.
II. Realism is key. Casualties happen, vehicles blow up, things happen. Deal with it like an adult, and keep fighting.
III. Keep the posts well done, grammatically and spelling-wise.
IV. No actions without means. Therefore, there is no need for a massive naval mission to destroy England, etc. off the bat.
V. I reserve the right to make small edits to your apps if I feel the need to.
VI. People will die. People will bleed. You win arguments and lose some. Deal with it, but act like humans.
VII. Every post should be a readable-length. Even just conversations, The English language is beautiful, so neglect it to one-liners and you will make me angry.
VIII. Extended conversations should be sorted out via TG or OOC before insertion into a post, to keep the posts flowing.
IX. As the OP I reserve the right to make edits to apps or posts as I see fit to keep the RP running smoothly
