Welcome to the NS Parliament RP!
What is this?
This is a character-driven RP in which we roleplay as politicians in a fictional nation. This RP, now the NS Parliament, has origins in the former NSG Senate. We have two simple starting guidelines:1. We are the island nation of Saint Hilda, located in the northern Lesser Antilles near Guadeloupe.
The rest is up to the players! In this RP, we will legislate and politick, ally and backstab, and so much more! It is your choice what your character will be. Prominent and outspoken? Shady and quiet? Progressive? Conservative? Fascist? Communist? Centrist? Government? Opposition? Crossbencher? Journalist? Activist? The list goes on!
2. A parliamentary system of government is being established, taken from Sweden, from which we just gained independence and with which we share a monarch.
As soon as you submit you application, unless rejected, you become a Member of the (imaginary) Parliament of Saint Hilda (or Sankta Hilda in Swedish). You can then feel free to begin participating in the RP. You can do things like drafting a bill, voting on bills, and joining or creating a political party.
Where does it all go on?
We have four threads. There's the OOC thread, for applications, creating/joining parties, drafting and submitting bills, and all OOC discussion about our RP. There's the Chamber, where bills are debated, amended and voted upon. Finally, there's Life Outside, where all RP that happens outside the Chamber (campaigning, news stories, daily life, etc) goes on. If you want to flesh out your characters, use our Character Database.
Our official Discord server can be found here.
