AFTERMATH: A Faction RP (OOC | OPEN)

[Olthenia]

(...) As a tip for this RP as well, detach yourself from your nation a bit. It's not like a game of Civ where you aim to win. We're all here to write a story and have a blast, and writing a story in a nation RP usually means that some nations have to lose. If you expect another RPer to allow that to happen to their faction in the name of a common story, then you should be willing to accept just as much. It makes the whole experience more enjoyable.

Hear, hear.

Oy, Lunas Legion, seeing as you aren't too far south from the Mid-Coast Company's headquarters in Astoria, Oregon, would you perhaps be interested in allowing some of our trade ships to purchase goods from your markets?

Sure. The City probably acts as a bit of a hub between Northwestern and Southwestern trade.

So, I asked a while back if this RP had its own Discord channel. Since the answer I got amounted to "no, not really" - would anyone mind if went ahead and made one?

[Apror]

We believe in the well treatment of all peoples, mercy is a value, and slavery and torture are immoral. We'd only intervene if we're in close proximity. It's a way that says if you can't treat your people well, how can you be trusted to treat us well.

Ah, I see, and I respect that view. Now I can say I won't treat my people like this, but I can not say the same for those who wish harm upon the tribe...

Which I can respect. Everyone has the right to defend themselves from aggression.

Ummmmm, I'm guessing you're being sarcastic, and a little scary.

You can put more than one quote into your posts; please merge replies into one post. Otherwise, other players have to wade through dozens of pages filled up by one-reply posts.

Nope, I'm okay with this.

Dont do it until you get Grestins ok, and even then if people want one I'm sure he would make it.

If there's gonna be a discord for this, then let the OP make it.

NAME: The Iron Line
TYPE: Religion.
DESCRIPTION: The Iron Line is part religion, part way of life and part ideology. It is the promise of a clearer tomorrow and a sweeter afterlife. It is the brand by which a decrepit clan of latter-day amazons rule a corner of northern Florida - at once the linchpin of their society and the defiant roar by which they bow to no man. It is a patchwork of different influence, a muddled blanket of nursery rhymes, blues chants and spirit-highs. It's as messy as the society that spawned it. It is the Iron Line.

TENETS: Ancestor worship - derided as 'granny worship'. Blues magic. Drug induced trances to commune with spirits. Hints of Wicca. Walk the 'Iron Line'; the path you must follow to get where you want to go.

HISTORY: The Iron Line is, at its heart, a great many things. It is the legacy of a road-tribe that fled death and genocide in the wilderness of Tennessee. It is the hope and dream of a clan of refugees turned queens of their own darn destiny. It is the road all true Saddledogs follow - an iron line through scorching sun and silver moonlight, and it is as colored by history as anything else. By blues magic and meth trips. By ancestor worship and 'Gator-prayers. By the boom of kettle drums and cold, Christian shouting. It is the Iron Line.

You need to expand your history, I've said this twice now.

Your cheekiness in adding Aftermath to your current RPs list before you were accepted is also noted.

[Novo Trevisio]

Nationstates Name: Novo Trevisio
Faction Name: La Hermanedad de San Joaquin
Faction Type: Enclave
Flag (Optional):
Governing Ideology: Teocracia/Theocracy (Democratic, Royalist, Fascist, Communist, Feudalism, etc.)
Leader(s): Emmanuel Cruz, Bishop of of the Central Diocese of District VII
Territorial Claims: Fresno County(Capital)
Population: 2,000
Armed Population: 400
Technology Level: Medieval Ages, post collapse tech in the hands of elite units

History:
Following the collapse of social order and breakdown in the united states, the Central valley fell into total disarray. With the end of order, the most fertile and productive lands in California became uncultivated and abandoned as the remnants of humanity re-organized. Historically Spanish- and later Mexican, Alta California fell into the hands of the United states. That said, large Hispanic populations were left in these old territories which also found themselves among the ruins of the U.S. The faithful Catholic populations banded together in the last hours of civilization in expectation of gods judgement of the wicked in the apocalypse. However, it seems that god had other plans. The cathedrals and churches that housed the final mass miraculously survived, and the surrounding area managed to go relative unscathed. Originally, the leaderless peoples were lost and without aim. But the dioceses and the clerical order remained, and was the last organized authority in the region. People looked towards the church for guidance, and over time the Church began to lead society back to order and continue the work left to them by Jesus Christ 2,000 years ago.

Originally, church authorities attempted to work within the boundaries set by the Church. But leading a society required more administrative authority then what existed earlier. So on Christmas eve, 1999 the priests, bishops, and clergymen of the region gathered to form the 1st council of the Oridnario Nouvo. They drafted and ratified the Ordo Centurio, which established the Hermanedad de San Joaquin (English: Brotherhood of Saint Joachim), which is the administrative, religious, and de facto governmental authority of the HdSJ. With the consolidation of the regions holdings, the HdSJ looks across the horizon and looks to begin the restoration of order to California, and perhaps the world.

Culture:
The HdSJ governs the land in a semi feudalistic society which is largely agrarian but very learned. With the passing of Jesuit learning culture, education, faith, and loyalty are valued traits in the HdSJ. While the actual Brotherhood is relatively small, every internal district is centered around a parish headed by a priest. The priest can then delegate power to laymen as he sees fit- with the Bishops approval of course. The laymen are expected to follow the catholic faith and attend mass and its customs, but are largely free to do whatever they want within the boundaries of the law. Most work in agrarian labor and related work, but the most intelligent individuals work in pre-war facilities maintaining the regions water table and critical infrastructure, called dams.

The economy is largely based off primitive form of the silver standard, with silver being relatively scarce but common enough to be used as an economic bedrock for the economy. In general businesses and such may be started by private individuals. Copper coins (called ochos) are the nations currency, and most official transactions and deals happen in the copper coin. However, barter is still a valid and common form of exchanging goods. Barter is especially common in informal deals, family wealth exchange, and tributes.

The official language is Spanish, with all publications and communication being written in that language. However the most secret documents are in latin, and only church authorities are educated in it. Education is mandatory for kids ages 4-15, and all citizens know how to read and write at the basic level as well as understand basic algebra at the base level.

Theme: Hispanic/Catholic religious feudalism (Optional)

Himm??? It suddenly smells of hypocrisy in here....Oh well if it isn't the Catholic church.

Lol, Hi there, I mean no malice with the above quote, I just saw your post and that's the first thing that poked in to my head.

While electricity is uncommon, it is generally used in only the wealthiest houses and in parishes and church buildings. Generally the electricity is run through old electrical systems placed in pre war networks. The official language is Spanish, with all publications and communication being written in that language. However the most secret documents are in latin, and only church authorities are educated in it.

First off, the county you used is already taken by a NPC nation, two it's only been 100 years since the apocalypse not 2,000 and i'm not sure if electricity would be used by Enclaves, so if you fix the first two and get that last one cleared up then you should be good.
