You won't need to reside in the region to vote in the poll.

Alright well if you guys need some RP ideas I've had a few floating about that I could more properly flesh out if required.

A terrorist attack on Vistora itself.

That already happened though. We started a 20-year ongoing campaign because of it.

Also, poll's up

Damn, that thing does not like any attempt at formatting, does it?

I should probably also mention that Ashkera is the co-progenitor and co-coordinator of the Tech Progression Compendium.

What is that, btw?

The Tech Progression Compendium is a multifaceted system of ranking technological progression along multiple paradigms, separated by scientific discipline. This allows for asymmetrical tech development to be properly categorized, and a particular focus on PMT will be given.

Eh.

[Vistora]

Alt-Vistoraverse is winning? I'm actually quite excited about this.

I feel like this should be worked on in tandem with Alt-Vistora.

Eh.

Basically its a way of breaking down different types of PMT from others. For example my own rate of advancement would be very different from yours, or Vistora's, or Mecharussia's or the "PMT" of the Lusitanian Federation.

We could do both. I might select the top two for simultaneous effort, depending on how my IRL schedule works out.

Actually, its main purpose is to distinguish different types of technologies from one another, for instances of asymmetrical development. For example, one nation might have highly advanced nuclear technology, but substandard spacefaring tech, while another nation might "specialize" in biomedicine and another in computer-based tech.

Setting Description

Briefly describe nation's setting and tech level: Any tech between Fantasy-Modern to Fantasy-Future, I prefer Fantasy-PostModern to Fantasy-Future and like staying the the area of in galaxy as intergalactic gets a bit hectic and chaotic beyond my liking...
Does your nation utilize any elements/materials not known to exist? If so, briefly describe them: Our periodic table has briefly the same rules as the real world one, the elements however are renamed
Are there any supernatural or fantasy elements? If so, briefly describe them: Yes, we have a very scientific and explainable magic system that shortly is a gland in the body that only women (as far as is known) can be born with burning calories and using the energy made to create a wavelength that influences the environment around them (I can give the whole explaination on it, but that would take up honestly a research paper; but I will go that in depth if you ask me to), we also have mythical animals such as Dragons, Griffins, and various other creatures of the sort that we actively use in our armed forces and daily lives (The return of the feral dragons has actually been tough on Avalon as they like to attack cities...)
Has your nation visited, explored, or established livable areas on any extraterrestrial planets/moons? If so, briefly describe them: I have a larger ISS style space colony that orbits the planet Avalon is on and I do have military installations on the moons around the planet, but they are still new projects
Are there any non-human sentient species within your nation? If so, briefly describe them: Yes; Elves, think average people but with long ears due to adapting to the harsher environments of their areas that caused a change in ear shape (I can give the whole statement if this brief phrasing is not enough)

Official Stuff

Do you agree to abide by the rules and regulations established by the Razor's Edge Cooperative Council? Yes
To what extent will you be able to contribute to roleplay and discussion in this group? I am great with concepts and stories, though there are points I lack proper execution
Are you a part of any other NS groups? Not that I know of, my friends could have volunteered me without informing me though, they tend to do that
Do you have any puppets of relevance/is this nation a puppet? Nah
Do you have any questions regarding this group or its members? Will we have a group movie night?
Do you have any extra information I need to know about you or your nation? The two inspirations for this nation were 1980's America and Briton circa the Era of Arthur in legend
What does Marsellus Wallace look like?Not a bitch?

Sorry, but your tech level--or at least as much about it that I can decipher--does not seem to fit within our PMT boundaries. Firstly, being set in 2016 would make you pretty clearly MT, even if you blend it with fantasy elements. Moving on from there, you state that you prefer to stay away from narratives on the intergalactic scale. That in as of itself is perfectly desirable in a PMT nation, but it implies that you nevertheless are set on an interstellar scale, which still exceeds our bounds. You'll have to clarify in reasonable detail the tech your nation possesses and the scale it is set on, if only to rectify the more egregious incongruities.

If we're doing a military exercise, I can contribute a battle map I made a while ago.

[The Lusitanian Federation]

Does anyone know of hypothetical and realistic solutions for anti-gravity generators?

I must be the only one asking questions here...

[Vistora]

If ever you have a question, please feel free throw it out there. Curiosity is essential to understanding.

Also, no. Antigravity is very solidly outside the realm of known science, unless you include inertial "gravity" created using the centripetal force, tangential velocity, and perpendicular acceleration centrifugal force on the inside of a rotating ring or tube. This is where the concept of a ringworld came from. Other than using non-gravitational acceleration to simulate gravity, there is no known way of generating a powerful gravitational field without having a planetary mass on hand.

[The Lusitanian Federation]

Then our anti-gravity generators must be one of very few unrealistic gadgets we have in our canon...

We need those to have our spaceships enter and exit a planet's atmosphere confortably, without suffering from the effects of atmospheric reentry.
Heck, we have an airship that looks to big to fly and land like an aircraft, i needed something to keep it "floating"...

Oh, and it does't look like the Hindemburg. It looks more like the Aigaion from the Ace Combat Series

Hey, did you steal my Ouranos as well!? Damn thieves.

Also, even if antigravity is unrealistic, its use is excusable in the same manner as FTL travel, in that it is so useful and integral to FT technology that it is hard to forgo. I determined, after some number-crunching, that it could possibly fly with the use of potential futuristic technologies, and thus sufficiently realistic enough for use in my canon.

Oh, no no no!

I did NOT steal Ouranos!

And we are making great use of our totallynotpilfered Basilisk.

Worry not. It has made our jungle warfare action-movie worthy.

And yes, it was very much too badass not to steal. I wasn't even planning on making a hovercraft until I found the Tarambola in your factbook and decided I needed to make a hovercraft just to use the image.

Stealing is such a harsh word. After some thinking, i prefer the word: Sharing.

Because sharing is caring.

Well then, I'm thoroughly impressed with the magnanimity of your military tech experts, especially after we snuck into your military headquarters with burglar masks and striped shirts, knocked them out with truncheons, and made off with sacks of your deepest military secrets.
