The Regions of International Incidents

Regions of International Incidents
The II Region Repository

The II Repository is a place where Roleplaying – the sense of nations that roleplay through story in International Incidents – can ‘log’ themselves for other players in the future to see. In other words, it’s a phone book of International Incidents regions that can not only summarise and provide information about themselves, but also attract prospective players.

To Region Owners and Members: this is a place for you guys to be able to market to the International Incidents crowd, if that’s even the correct term, without having the semi-distorted and difficult to attract crowd of Gameplay. It’s a given that many people in Gameplay do not go into II, and vice versa, so for regions that focus heavily on roleplaying, it can become a bit of a challenge to find the right people. The Repository will allow an easy, quick search and tag system which will allow you to prioritize what you believe to be important.

To Those Looking for Regions: this catalogue will give you a line-up of interested regions that are willing to accept RPers under criteria they believe are important. If you’re looking at a specific region, the repository may give you more information on the criteria that region is looking for and any pertinent background information that may not be immediately accessible. Likewise, if you’re looking for an II RPing Region, the repository can be a handy one-stop shop for regions who are always interested in having more members.

Regarding Thread Usage: Please feel free to have discussions or question and answer between newer players and region representatives within this thread. You are free to use this thread however you wish, insofar as you stay (generally) on topic. Otherwise, do not hesitate to use this thread as a resource however you wish.

Tags

Tags are the major means of finding regions with qualities and characteristics. Tags will help both regional representatives and submissions organize information in the repository as well as help newer players find pertinent regional information.

|Fantasy| – Fantasy is a world that mixes multiple tech genres, but focuses primarily on an otherworldly aspect of power and science. It does not have to include magic, but Fantasy usually includes some sort of departure from scientific convention to replace its own. Note that Fantasy is not akin to FT, a genre which while is willing to bend scientific convention, does so in a very specific field (space). Fantasy is a wider, overarching tag.

|PT| – Standing for ‘Past Tech’, PT is the roleplaying of technology that is considered ‘old’ or ‘in the past’. However, there is no clear cut definition for PT, and therefore it is left up to the individual region and its members to interpret the label. Please consult with the representative before proceeding.

|MT| – Standing for ‘Modern Tech’, MT is generally feasible technology within a small period of time, many times around 5-10 years, depending on the individual RPer. MT is usually the standard roleplaying tech for most new players, though it can easily turn into PMT. Please consult with the representative before proceeding.

|PMT| – Standing for ‘Post-Modern Tech’, PMT is generally the phase between MT and FT. PMT generally is an area notably for weaponizing lasers instead of bullets, having stealth technology, or some sort of extensive space capacity that does not spread past colonization. Widespread nanotechnology and cheap and efficient ‘smart’ weaponry are usually areas of Post-Modern Technology. Please consult with the representative before proceeding.

|FT| – Standing for ‘Future Tech’, most of FT’s dramatics and conflicts occur within space, or on the scale of galaxies. Events within FT span multiple planets and systems, and therefore space travel technology to the extent of hyperspace (or slip space, warp travel, etc.), but does not have to be limited to that. Easy access to atmospheric movement by civilians is usually a hallmark of FT RPing, but is not always the case. Please consult with the representative before proceeding.

|Multi-Tech| – Multi-Tech spans any of the previously mentioned lists. Some regions may span multiple tech levels, either through different time periods or merge different tech levels all in one field. Please consult to the nature of the tech levels with the representative before proceeding.

|Open-Ended| – Open-Ended regions are regions that have less of a focus on stringent objectives and more on ‘winging it’ in terms of the unfolding of events. Major wars, diplomatic excursions, and region-wide movements and events are usually left up to the dynamics of unpredictability and freshness within an Open-Ended region.

|Historical| – Historical regions are regions that have emphasis on background. Nations within the region are heavily suggested or required to have some sort of connection with other nations historically, and thus there is a lot of focus on backstory.

|Inter-regional| – Inter-regional regions are regions that deal extensively with other regions. Whether as warmongers, economic trade assets, or just through significant individual interactions, inter-regional regions are regions that emphasis greatly on politics not only within a region, but also between regions.

|Closed World| – Closed World regions are regions that have, for one reason or another, isolated themselves from the rest of the world. Closed World regions may or may not even exist in the same RPing worlds as other regions. Please consult with the representative before proceeding on a region’s degree of ‘closed’.

|Applications Mandatory| – These are regions that require some sort of application process before being accepted as a member. Acceptance and rejection is solely up to the process unique to each region.

|Self Setup| – Self Setup regions are regions that require individual members joining to ‘learn’ or ‘fend’ for themselves when developing RPing abilities. Lacking a functioning help network, Self Setup regions are regions that regularly coincide with |Applications Mandatory| regions, since ‘RPing ability’ is usually a sign of Self Setup.

|Setup Available| – The opposite of Self Setup, Setup Available regions are regions that assist in new members setting up, either through community efforts, training RPs, or just discussions and exercises. The precise component of Setup assistance that the region provides is dependent on them. Please consult the representative before proceeding.

|Open| – Open regions are regions that have open acceptance. Usually this is notable by a lack of passwords, but can also involve telegram-based acceptance or extremely lenient and non-mandatory applications.

Gholgoth
Tags: |Applications Mandatory|, |Inter-regional|, |Multi-tech|
Splash Page: viewtopic.php?p=7225271#p7225271


Gholgoth is an alliance based out of the region with the same name, and it is unique in the fact that in order to be in one, you must be in the other. Gholgoth was formed in 2004 by Automagfreek, Pantera, Crimmond, and several others following the demise of the Allied Powers Treaty Organization, and is the one of the oldest surviving MT organizations in International Incidents. Gholgoth is a close knit group both ICly and OOCly, and prides itself on having top notch roleplayers. Gholgoth is also known for being notoriously militaristic, though several members lean more towards the pacifist side. The region/alliance are a melting pot of different nations, and in Gholgoth dictatorships exist alongside democracies, monarchies, communist states, etc.

Greater Dienstad

Splash Page: viewtopic.php?p=7235948#p7235948


Forged at the end of the War of Golden Succession back in 2006 as a quasi-reincarnation of the ancient region Imperial Armies, Greater Dienstad is a massive and diverse region home to numerous nations of all ages.

GD is one of the oldest active MT roleplaying regions on International Incidents, and arguably one of the most influential. With well known players on both International Incidents and Global Economics and Trade, GD brings virtually unparalleled experience to aid both site newcomers and veterans alike.

As one of the few major roleplaying regions that is not password protected, GD is open to virtually anyone. Newcomers often come to the region to improve their skills and gain roleplaying experience with some of the oldest names in the community. The helpful nature of those in the region is evidenced by the multiple II Mentors, current and former, who make the region their home, and by the day to day interaction of the region's youngest members with its 'old guard'.

Illuscinora

Splash Page: TBA


This region has a short history but a history marked by splits, great RPs (like the Vit Draken series of RPs), but in that length of time, Illuscinora has evolved, and will continue to evolve if people join this honored region. The region will always be built, and being MTers, we will help all the new nations how to RP. For the older generation, you can join, for the fun.

Judea
Tags: |MT|, |Open-Ended|, |Applications Mandatory|
Splash Page: viewtopic.php?p=7223189#p7223189


Often referred to as the "Majestic Lands," Judea is a politically and socially diverse region harboring many established and blossoming powers. It is located in a diverse climate and is an important stop for trade ships traveling to the other outlying regions. It is a mixing ground of both fresh and aged ideas, and occupied by many nations of varying ideologies and culture. Opportunities is abundant all around the Judean region for those willing to seek it.

Judea is a region different from others in the sense that it is just that; a region. The sole-happenings of the Judean area are for the nations that inhabit it to decide. Judea is not ruled by a "centralized government," but instead, consists of many influential alliances. There are, however, a plethora of nations residing in Judea that are not involved in any alliances, and remain blissfully neutral as they ripe the advantages of being Judean.

Judeans are a strong and proud bunch. Though often at odds-end with one another, the common sense of patriotism ripples throughout the region. Only a few other regions hold formal relations with Judea, but Judean nations are often involved in some of the most potent and powerful organizations in the international community.

Having featured a strong In-Character aspect, Judea is also renowned for its good-nature towards newer nations and also with its Out-of-Character relations with its members. Its strong player-support system helps harness the potential quality and skills of its members. Nations learn firsthand from those with experience in the NationStates forums. Its IRC channel is always filled with talkative, sometimes crazy, but nonetheless delightful members and visitors. One may find comfort and many laughs from participating in the always on-going discussions in the Judean IRC Channel. Its a home away from home. Its member-base, Judea's pride and joy, form a distinct family-bond to create a chain that can never be broken.

Minyang
Tags: |MT|, |Inter-regional|, |Setup Available|
Splash Page: viewtopic.php?p=7392481#p7392481


Background and Biography: Minyang (Russian: Минян, simplified Chinese: 闵洋) is a collection of variously sized continents mostly located in the northern hemisphere of the earth. Officially founded on 3 September 2011, it is essentially a restart of the old region of Lisosia, with a focus on roleplaying in the International Incidents subforum. Minyang places a focus on realistic international politics relationships and mature interaction on the international scale, and adheres to a loose modern-tech technology policy. As it is obvious that most members of NationStates are not political science, economics, or military science majors, Minyang does not attempt to impose an impossible standard but instead seeks to improve those who seek to experience more serious roleplaying. While not officially part of the region, several members also partake in Future Tech roleplays.

Mystria
Tags: |Fantasy|, |Multi-Tech|, |Inter-regional|, |Setup Available|
Splash Page: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=137430


Mystria is a Classical Fantasy world with steam-punk elements incorporated with a complex mythological system, magical system, and history. Much of it can be found in the factbook, and there's much interaction, character roleplay, and regional roleplay involved. It is Located in the Southwest of the Ponylands and Far Southwest of Paradoxia. Nonhumans are common and mixed tech are regular occurances. There's 7 major racial categories. The humans, the elves, the dwarves, the beastlings, the changelings, the treefolk, and the unbidden. Within each racial category there's several distinct ethnicities within the racial categories. Most of the Mystrians share the same Pantheon, but they each worship different a different God or Goddess by region, ethnicity, and personal moral codes. The societies are very much guided by the views and aspects of the pantheon, and several differing moral codes.

Unified Realm

Splash Page: TBA


The Unified Realm is an alliance of nations that is known for its militaristic support of individual freedom and its opposition to slavery. The regional alliance begin with the first slave war against New Nicksylvania and has since added an additional international alliance spanning about 30 countries. The Unified Realm maintains a free trade zone among its members and an unbreakable military alliance that includes maintaining a large alliance wide standing military.

Xaymaca
Tags: |Multi-Tech|, |Open-Ended|, |Setup Available|, |Applications Mandatory|
Splash Page: viewtopic.php?p=7754429#p7754429


Located in the vast Ocean of Xaymaca, the region physically consists of islands and one large, as-yet unnamed landmass. Politically, Xaymaca is run by a council of representatives from each nation, resulting in diverse, open-minded leadership. The nations range from anarchic to democratic to authoritarian, from fair to corrupt, from desperately poor to economic powerhouses. Some operate at modern tech standards, others at more futuristic levels; some have standard populations, others include elements of the superhuman and the supernatural. There is one common thread that binds them all: the players' appreciation for drama through roleplay.

New nations are encouraged to seek out more experienced region members for assistance setting up their nations regarding their IC standings, and older nations who wish to join will be expected to help the newer additions. The application process can vary, but usually consists of RP examples and a discussion with one of the current leaders (Antemyst, Almajoya, and Gabriandria). As the region and its offsite forum are password-protected, the application process must be completed before accessing Xaymaca. Please telegram one of the leaders for more information.

The Nucleum Daemonica (Example)
Tags: |Multi-Tech|, |Historical|, |Self Setup|
Splash Page: viewtopic.php?p=7222339#p7222339


Odd stuff happens here. Sylvia Plath quote says all.

[Jenrak]

The Nucleum Daemonica
If you dissect a bird to diagram the tongue
You'll cut the chord articulating song.

The Nucleum Daemonica is a haunt of forgotten memories given form. From the darkest corners of the world, ancient evils agglomerate into the Daemonica to fill its wretched hallows with terrible features. Its oceans are lined in flame and smoke and its skies engulf all the stars, and yet the Daemonica continues to stand in the bleak corners of the world. A twisted world, the Daemonica ranges as a region of experimentation and difference. Here, borders no longer exist as the region speaks tales of immutable horrors within its silent valleys.

From the The Pearl Imperium to Iythagoras, the Nucleum Daemonica is a world where strife and struggle command every day life. Here, its denizens fight off the disharmonious and vile for a better day that some, unfortunately, worry may never come. Join the Daemonic in its twisted tales of murder, mystery, and the supernatural as things are not always what they seem to be.

OOC: This is an example splash page. Don't actually join - it's just a region for my puppets.

Finished! I will make appropriate changes over time. It is now open for business.

PS., I am also looking for an assistant in case this gets ridiculous.

ELLOREA, a region brimmed with fields of endless verdure, cushioned between the warm oceans of Etreu and Triec, flourishes under the northern sun. Filled with a diverse group of nations and cultures, Ellorea remains one of the most diverse regions in the world. Centered around a small sea, the continents of Ellorea combine to form, not only a diverse, stunning, and heavenly region, but one of the most potent and powerful ones. Its soft, lavender fields mesh perfectly with its large population of white roses that scatter its numerous plains. Sharp mountain ranges dominate its northern shores, colliding with the serenity of the oceans that breathe against its rocks. Yet, crystal rivers flow gently through the lush land of the region. Ellorea's quadruple continents form one of the most beautiful regions in the international expanse.

Its population reflects the fecund ground they walk on. The region holds a diverse, yet captivating community stretching from its northern tips to its southern baths. From monarchial royals, dashing purple sleeves, to the rich, corporate governments to the unique, intellectual noocracies. Housing both democratic, senatorial utopias and dictatorial, tyrannical dystopias, Ellorea stays on the forefront of the international scene. Bounding both together as a regional community of geographically linked nations and an intertwining political community. Cultures mingle, but yet they also clash at times. These clashes heat into booming wars that ravage the continents. Enemies and friends alike inhabit the heavenly Ellorea region. Bloody wars and peaceful harmonies intertwine throughout the continents. Marching armies move seamlessly with strolling lovers. Ellorea is diverse in not only its population, its gravel, and its cultures, but also in its scene of events.

Ellorea is a home to many nations. Its affable inhabitants merge fresh and new with the behemoths of ancient civilizations. An important international hub, Ellorea stars as the center of a myriad of international organizations and international powers. A marvelous region fused with its deep, rich history, but still hungry for new heights it hopes to grasp. Being an important stage for the international community, Ellorea's regional beauties shine as its population stands as the leading forefront. The region is a home to many, a divine residency of both powerful and rising countries.

Bonded together, we created Ellorea, a region that fills a void among the regional expanse of Nationstates. A region where no detail would be ignored nor opinion unheard. A region that not only contains a community, but has a community that encompasses it. Ellorea was designed with one, overarching goal: to provide a region that sparks the greatest possible happiness in all members. The region not only has accomplished its goal, but has gone beyond it. Ellorea is not just another RPing region, but a sponsor of one of Nationstates's most vibrant communities, and a home for many on here.

Elloreans are a proud and equally distinguishable group of nations that have come together to create and embody the region. Ellorea's goal of happiness has created an active, entertaining, and pleasant community of nations. Its bubbling conversations merge all of its members together in a bond that feels closer than Nationstates could hope to have foreseen. Ellorea holds possibilities for all of its members, whom copiously embrace it.

The region focuses on a strong OoC community. The community, however, forges an intriguing and limitless RPing world in the Ellorean region. Diverse cultures and nations intertwine and debate about facets usually ignored. Ellorea adds a new depth to the regions. Believing in the prosperity of each other and the region as a whole, Ellorea provides a unique experience that explores the very fabric of nations. A home to many, Ellorea is an intriguing, captivating region flourishing under the guidances of its own members, and the community that forms it.

Gholgoth

Bronze and Iron, Fire and Ice. Neither benign nor malevolent, we are the nations of Gholgoth. The Dying Ground, The Shining Obelisk, we are but night and day. Avert your eyes, fool, for here lies your doom. On these vast lands we stand as one, intimidated by nothing, living or dead. We are the 48 Angels, we are the 48 Plagues.

• Regional Map • Regional Forums • Public Gothic Chatroom •

Who are we?

Gholgoth is an alliance based out of the region with the same name, and it is unique in the fact that in order to be in one, you must be in the other. Gholgoth was formed in 2004 by Automagfreek, Pantera, Crimmond, and several others following the demise of the Allied Powers Treaty Organization, and is one of the oldest surviving MT organizations in International Incidents. Gholgoth is a close knit group both ICly and OOCly, and prides itself on having top notch roleplayers. Gholgoth is also known for being notoriously militaristic, though several members lean more towards the pacifist side. The region/alliance are a melting pot of different nations, and in Gholgoth dictatorships exist alongside democracies, monarchies, communist states, etc.

What do we do?

Gholgoth is much the same as any alliance; we look out for each others best interests first and foremost. Gothic nations also trade heavily with one another and support each other without question during foreign conflicts. We maintain a very large and capable military, and actively further our interests across the globe. We also head up the Trinity Bank, a financial institution originally founded and funded by three alliances; the now defunct GASN and NATO, and of course Gholgoth, and have he capacity to make large loans to any inside or outside the region/alliance.

How do we function?

Gholgoth is unique in the fact that it has no charter and no formal leadership. Every member is treated as an equal in power no matter how large or small, or how long they have been a member. Decisions are made by everyone, and all dissenting opinions are given due consideration and are not discarded. There are no official rules, save for two: Do not strike at your brothers; and if attacked from the outside, defend your brothers without question. Gholgoth maintains a joint military command, divided into several sub-divisions (eastern, central, northern, etc.) for regional defense, but offensive military actions are coordinated through whichever nations are participating in the action. Participation in offensive military actions is not required, but it is required for defensive military actions.

How can you join?

Gholgoth is notoriously difficult to gain entry to, because applications are based almost entirely upon roleplay ability. If interest in joining Gholgoth is expressed, the current members of Gholgoth will debate and then issue an invitation if the applicant is thought to be Gothic material. There is also a feeder region, Varathron, that serves as both a physical counterpart to Gholgoth. The Gholgoth region is password protected, but Varathron is open to any who wish to move in.

Applications for Gholgoth can be posted on our forums.

How can you contact us?

You may post in this thread, send me a telegram, or visit us in our public IRC channel: #Gothic_Sanctum at irc.esper.net

Minyang places a focus on realistic international politics relationships and mature interaction on the international scale, and adheres to a loose modern-tech technology policy. As it is obvious that most members of NationStates are not political science, economics, or military science majors, Minyang does not attempt to impose an impossible standard but instead seeks to improve those who seek to experience more serious roleplaying.

The two primary structural features of Minyang are its cartography and its communications methods. Where most regions have an overall political map that simply overlays states and member entities in regards to other states and contains very little information, Minyang aims to unify all states within to a single geographical and climatic structure and avoid disjointed roleplaying environments. Thus, the Minyang Cartography Group governs all map changes and details to best suit member states should the need arise. As for interpersonal communication, Minyang relies on the International Incidents subforum as its primary platform of roleplaying; out-of-character communication is done primarily on the IRC channel at #Minyang on irc.esper.net. While there is a forum for Minyang, the most preferred method of communication is still on the IRC channel.

To join Minyang, simply fill out the application below. Once complete, post in this thread, and visit us at our IRC channel. We will publicly discuss your application there and vote upon your entrance in a members-only subforum. If unable to use the IRC channel, please say so and specify a reason; we will try to help you use the IRC. Otherwise, telegrams and our regional forums will be used. Thank you for professing an interest in joining our region.

The societies are very much guided by the views and aspects of the pantheon, and several differing moral codes.

[Antemyst]

Region Name: Xaymaca
Regional Representative: Antemyst

Background and Biography: Located in the vast Ocean of Xaymaca, the region physically consists of islands and one large, as-yet unnamed landmass. Politically, Xaymaca is run by a council of representatives from each nation, resulting in diverse, open-minded leadership. The nations range from anarchic to democratic to authoritarian, from fair to corrupt, from desperately poor to economic powerhouses. Some operate at modern tech standards, others at more futuristic levels; some have standard populations, others include elements of the superhuman and the supernatural. There is one common thread that binds them all: the players' appreciation for drama through roleplay.

New nations are encouraged to seek out more experienced region members for assistance setting up their nations regarding their IC standings, and older nations who wish to join will be expected to help the newer additions. The application process can vary, but usually consists of RP examples and a discussion with one of the current leaders (Antemyst, Almajoya, and Gabriandria). As the region and its offsite forum are password-protected, the application process must be completed before accessing Xaymaca. Please telegram one of the leaders for more information.

History

Though most of the nations within it had existed for ages, Xaymaca was founded only three years ago by Crystalline Fosterman, then Leader (now Empress) of Antemyst. The nations in and along the Ocean of Xaymaca had been disjointed and uncommunicative, leading to many disputes among them that could have been solved diplomatically. Such disputes include the disastrous nuclear explosion in Snowy Egrets, which caused that nation to attempt invasions of many of its neighbors in search of untainted land.

Fosterman saw the need for more transparency and discussion, and urged her fellow rulers to form a council that would meet regularly to talk over any pressing subjects. This initiative was not immediately popular, and some Xaymacan nations refuse to participate in it to this day. However, since its inception, the council has been able to maintain peace within the region, and the nations involved in the council have grown much closer, resulting in more trade and stronger alliances both within and without.

Interconnectivity

While the Council of Xaymaca does resolve conflicts, it does not collectively run any one nation. Each nation is expected to govern itself responsibly. The Council steps in only when a nation's leadership is deemed unfit to rule; in that case, the council runs the nation through an appointed governor until elections or further appointments can be made. This has not yet occurred in the history of the Council, though a few nations have come close to achieving this on occasion.

Xaymaca does, however, share certain aspects of its infrastructure, including its electric grid. All communication systems are managed by the entertainment conglomerate Acacia Heights Records. One of the best corporations in its field, Acacia Heights is known to respond quickly to emergencies and is both knowledgeable and innovative. While a few Xaymacan nations dispute the right of Acacia Heights to monopolize their communications, it is a mandatory condition and no one has found fault with the corporation.

Geography

The region of Xaymaca consists of the full span of the Ocean of Xaymaca, which includes the large landmass on which many of the nations reside, as well as dozens of smaller islands. The Empire of Antemyst also controls the planetary system Cyrna, which contains billions of Xaymacan citizens.

The climate of the Ocean of Xaymaca is mostly tropical, though the heights of the landmass can reach incredibly cold temperatures.

The word "xaymaca" can be pronounced "say-MAH-kah" or "ex-AY-mah-kah," and is derived from a native word meaning "land of wood and water."

Application

To apply, please telegram Antemyst, Almajoya, or Gabriandria. The process varies depending on the nation and player; a customized application, most likely including roleplay samples and a brief statement, will be drawn up in each case.

Crystal Spires, would you be willing to shorten the blurb? It's pretty long.
