But in 2010, Al-Zaruq died, and his son faced ruling over a nation in crisis, and once the Arab Spring began, there was no salvaging the faltering dictatorship from being overthrown by pro-democracy forces. Democracy and freedom would now be experienced by the Tawnati for the first time in generations, but at a time where the archipelago is more divided than ever.
In this roleplay, you play as a politician in this heavily divided nation. Play as a member of the Albarlaman or be a Governor or Mayor. Run for President to bring change to Tawnat or preserve the status quo, or run for another race and make a difference in your community. You can play as any character you wish as long as they’re within the boundaries of realism.
But be ready to navigate a sea of divisive issues as tensions between factions of the loose governing coalition reach a boiling point over questions such as secularism and refugees coming from the wartorn Libya. Economic issues caused by variable oil prices and a declining tourist industry due to the violence of the Arab Spring leave many Tawnati people in poverty. Meanwhile abroad, the Arab world faces a struggle for influence between the United States and Russia, while a regional struggle between Iran and Saudi Arabia has split the Arab world. The people of Tawnat are counting on you to solve these problems.
So go ahead and join the Republic of Tawnat. Try to bring the archipelago further into the light of democracy, or turn it into a more holy theocratic state, or do something completely different. The only thing between you and glory is whether your wits can keep up with the politics of a nation in crisis.
