AFTERMATH: A Faction RP (OOC | OPEN)

[Anowa]

Forcefully enslave Ferals? Jesus, I think I'm going to need to build a wall. Maybe two. Maybe a ban. This simply will not do. Why be so cruel friend?

I didn't get to get into that in the app but the Brown Tribe's ideology is basically based on extreme collectivism and making a return to pre collapse times through pooling everyone's resources. That applies to humans, because there's a lot of serfs in the Lake Nation, but especially to ferals because none of the tribes classify them as actual humans, just strategic resources that fit in with the collectivism of the confederation.

>Native tribes
>hard to communicate with
>kinda hostile
>'Not human', yet still fully human
This is just like how North America started.

The world will never change. Lets just face it, the collapse of society would make people more wanting to kill people that speak funny than they already are.

[Forest State]

We can split it north-south and east-west. You get the north and any land to the east and we get the lands that we're interested in, the warmer ones to the south in addition to anything to the west of us. And like I said, you would have to ignore Forced Advancement, which basically means that the Brown Tribe subjugates weaker factions such as the other two tribes in the confederation because they believe in forcefully restoring higher technology levels and living standards. And also the enslavement of ferals.

Sounds fine to me, I get the iron and copper deposits and the richer forests of the Nicolea Forest and the UP, you get the more fertile farm lands. I suppose we could also have a lively trading relationship, I give you wood products, iron and copper tools in return for food and some other stuff?

We should iron out the details when the IC is up, but yeah that makes sense because our economy is heavily ruralized and agrarian and we could use metal for our armies.

Didn't say they weren't, but that's what the tribes believe. Someone that believes in collectivism and advancement isn't going to be friendly with primitive cultures.

So guys after a few requests for trade outposts in my nation I've chosen to find a cheeky way to fix the solution.

The town of Monticello Utah will act as a free city which essentially means that people from across the region can meet up in this city and trade. The stipulation being that all must leave their weapons with guards at the city gates and must pay a small city tax to enter the city. In return you'll be granted the right to trade openlyband freely with various other traders for cash or other items. Weapons, alchohol, furs, and minerals are all valid items to be traded within the city. Only exception to this free trade area being the selling of slaves and of humans in general as well as items deemed "sinful" by royal officials that would include sexual items and books of other religions (Bible, Book of Mormon, Qur'an etc.) while these are legal to own they are not legal to propagate or sell.

[Apror]

Today, I'm declaring Beaumont, Jefferson County as the official capital of the Kingdom. Apparently the old city was a manufacturing city for the Army, with an already present Port, and all the goodies I need for good Ship manufacturing. Plus the old city contains The Lamar State University of TECHNOLOGY! I'm going to need a wall around that too.

[Imperial Idaho]

NAME: Pioneerism
TYPE: Religion
DESCRIPTION: A religion based around the distorted worship of historical figures, placing them into a pantheon of sorts and relating them to what they were famous for. For example, Edward Pulaski, a Great Idaho Fire hero is known as "The Fireman", and General Sherman known as "The Burner of the South". The pantheon is ever expanding as new lands are added to the faith, incorporating their figures into it, many religious debates are held by the Emperor of the Inland Empire and travellors, officials, and his court on how new figures are added and placed it the faith. The distortion of time has led to the misperceived role of historical figures and the worship of historical sites. The followers believe the Great Collapse of 1945 was caused by the neglect of the great historical sites and figures of America, and so the ancient Americans were struck down for it.
TENANTS (Defining Ideas such as Militarism or Mysticism): Expansionism, Preservation of Historical Sites and items, Nationalism, civilized mans burden, and (Not really a tenant but more a theme) distorted view of history,
HISTORY (One Paragraph Minimum, Two preferred): The Pioneerist faith came about several decades ago in the upper society of the Inland Empire, were a combination of ignorance, philosophical debates, and more or less the poor sources they had. The logic was if the old Americans had kept these artifacts around from these specific people, then they must have worshiped them as gods. From there the Emperor converted to the fledgling religion after input from his advisers, and gained much more legitimacy and spread to the rest of the Empire and to small enclaves outside it.

During it's expansion era legend and writing came of an Old-World concept known as "Manifest Destiny", where the ancient Americans expanded into the frontier and integrated or pushed out the native tribes in the region. This idea was sure to be great for introducing the concept of armed expansion to the Imperial population, and the introduction of Manifest Destiny into Pioneerism was swift and welcomed. Through the progression of knowledge and writing, a figure known as "Winston Churchill" became revealed to the pioneerists. This began a large debate over whether or not he was truly a god, he was an important figure according to old newspapers and whatnot, but he was the leader of the "United Kingdom", a land the founding fathers had fought independence from. The debate ended with not Churchill becoming accepted into the pantheon, but rather several of the founding fathers instead.

[Beiarusia]

Nationstates Name: Beiarusia
Faction Name: Kamiah
Faction Type: Enclave
Flag: None
Governing Ideology: Democratic
Leader(s): President Bethany Tash
Territorial Claims: Lewis County, ID
Population: 342
Armed Population: 37 (Hunters mostly, although anyone can pick up a stick and rock if need be).
Technology Level: Stone Age

History:

Kamiah was re-founded in Year 65 by orphans who had lost their homes and families in local conflicts. Banding together, the children took refuge in the ghost town and slowly made a home for themselves on the banks of the Clearwater River. Life was not easy, however, and the first winter threatened to end the fledgling town before it could even begin, but with some determination and luck the town survived into spring if only just barely. Alan Ducard was officially elected as president of Kamiah by popular vote, and although inexperienced the young teen would help to transform the former ghost town into a reasonably comfortable community. Gardens would soon supplement hunting and fishing, and the more intact of the abandoned buildings would be repaired (amateur, but no longer leaking whenever it rains). Far from perfect but it would become home to many who had lost theirs.

At age 21, Alan Ducard, having served as president for seven years, would abdicate his position and would leave Kamiah with the other kids turned adults, and although his reasoning was never explicitly given it was soon attributed to a desire to protect the town from the very same conflicts that had orphaned them all to begin with. It soon became a custom that every year those who had passed from childhood into adulthood would bid their farewells and would leave Kamiah permanently. By all respects the town should have again slipped into oblivion as the residents moved elsewhere, but with children born to the older teens and many new arrivals coming in search of the 'Children's Town' the population would slowly increase over time. Small, but sustainable. Stories of the town would be spread by former residents living elsewhere, and to those with nowhere to go Kamiah would serve as a beacon hidden away in the forests of Idaho. Over time some would even return as caravaners. This renewed contact and trade would eventually lessen the isolation of the children and Kamiah, for better or for worse, would be forced to share its voice with the remainder of the world around it. The prospect of which has not been met without criticism. In recent years a difference of opinions has lead to hurt feelings on both sides, but regardless the little town will be forced into change or else to hide away once more.

Culture:

The most striking feature of Kamiah is the age of its people. Everyone living in the little town is under the age of 21, with those entering adulthood leaving to live their lives elsewhere. This has not been without problems. Children, as expected, are inexperienced with most things, and this has led to a socialistic attitude concerning food, water, and toys, as well as other areas deemed too important to simply exclude anyone. Those who provide to those who cannot are held in high regard, such as hunters, fishermen, or those with some useful skill. Other than this, most everything is exchanged through barter and trade. No official currency is used. The small population allows for a direct democracy to succeed rather well. The President of Kamiah is elected by popular vote and rules with absolute authority, although at any time a vote can be called to elect a new leader, allowing bad leaders to be replaced easily enough in most cases. Anyone can become leader and there is no age limit (the youngest was 5 and the oldest abdicated upon turning 21). The town survives mostly on fishing, but hunting and gardens are also help to keep the town well fed. Whatever can't be made locally is traded with caravans that have since come to Kamiah, many having been residents in the past.

May throw in a handful of post-war things scavenged about, but Stone Age works best for what I'll be doing.

[Greater Dmanian]

When dealing with NPC factions if I decide to take their land through peaceful or violent means do I have to expand my borders all the way to them before I can claim it?

Or would I need to make them some form of vassal until I reach their border?

Edit: some how I missed the mechanics description which more or less answers the above question as a form of over-extension if I Annex it.

[New Minahasa]

Nationstates Name:
Faction Name: Anarcho-Communist Dominion of Novgorod; Dominion of Novgorod; Novgorod Dominion.
Faction Type: Survivor Enclave.
Flag (Optional): Glorious anarcho-communism
Governing Ideology: Anarchist communism, expansionism, nationalism.
Leader(s): Commander Nestor Ivanovich, military leader of the Anarchist Workers Militia.
Territorial Claims: Peaceful Valley, Washington.
Population: 2,000.
Armed Population:

• Anarchist Workers Militia.
  • Red Corps.
    • Defenders Regiment: 5 Machine-gunners (only used to defend the walls of their capital town, the Kremlin) (Hotchkiss M1914.)
      
    • Gunners Regiment: 30 Gunners (Grease Gun)
    • Rifleman Regiment: 50 Riflemen (M1 Garand)
    • Warriors Regiment: 200 Warriors (Battle-axes and shields)
    • Crossbowmen Regiment: 100 Crossbowmen (Crossbows)
    • Scout Regiment: 15 Scouts (M1911)

Technology Level: A mix of medieval, post-collapse, and (very few) pre-collapse technology.

History: No one knew much about what happened after World War 2, but in a small town in Peaceful Valley, Washington, a Russian man named Nikolay Komarov staged a rebellion against the local government in 1945. His followers were mostly comprised of communist and anarchist sympathizers in the local community, and sought to build their own society. They raided the local police stations and took whatever guns they found in there. In the aftermath of the rebellion, the men had succeeded in destroying the local government, and erected a small fortification around their small town. They called their town the "Kremlin".

Nikolay and his men had expected the military to arrive and try to crush their small rebellion, but as days passed, there were no signs of the military. Eventually, their community of workers grew into a prosperous one. They established their own form of government in the small town, and embraced the mixed ideology of anarchist communism. Though the people were self-governed, there were still law enforcers to keep peace and order within the community.

As decades passed by, demands and necessities increased. Though the community had no real government, the people still had to flock to a leader to lead them. Nikolay and his men began their campaign and subjugated the surrounding settlements; either through diplomacy, or force. His forces were equipped with improvised WW1 and WW2 firearms, as well as hand-crafted medieval weapons such as crossbows, axes, and shields. Ultimately, his campaign ended with a success, conquering the nearby towns and settlements into his rule. He named his small empire the Novgorod Dominion, taken from the name of the city in which he was born.

Culture: Their culture is a mix of medieval Slavic kingdoms such as the Novgorod Republic and Kievan Rus to the pre-WW2 communist nation of USSR. The government is styled as anarcho-communism, having adopted self-governance within their society of workers. Although there is no real government within the community, the people still have to vote for a military leader to protect them from outside incursions, and lead them in times of war.

OPs pls check?

I'd rather not give the final stamp myself (still got the new-Co-OP smell) but a few possible hiccups that may be worth going over: those weapons seem to be overwhelmingly pre-Collapse when Enclaves are really meant to be medieval with some post-Collapse. Could you also perhaps change the history so that the revolution occurs during or after the collapse? Maybe the revolutionaries are seeking to take advantage of the weakened federal government to overwhelm what remains of the local township? I doubt that would be reason enough to deny an app, but I recall in an earlier application that we want to fiddle with the times when there was still a functioning government as little as possible, and that part of the history is quite early on in the Collapse.

Sure. By the way, I should've probably mentioned this from early on, but the M1 Garands and Grease Guns are mostly improvised, not authentic ones. The only pre-collapse weapons I have are the Hotchkiss machineguns, and really, they're only used to protect my capital town. Too troublesome to bring in an open battlefield.

Yeah, apologies on our end for the wait. Like I said, still want to shy away from accepting or otherwise until probably another day or two, but some advice could be to double-check grammar and spelling in your history - some of the sentences strike me as being a bit off, although still easily understandable. Other than that, it's definitely come a long way. If tomorrow you still don't get a decision from the more experienced OP group, send me a TG and I'll try to make sure it didn't fall through the cracks again.
