Part-explanation/part-development idea, related this this post; viewtopic.php?p=30791400#p30791400

The monarch of Morrdh uses the title Viceroy/Vicereine, this stems from the revolt against Stevidian rule in the 1830s when Morrdh was still a penal colony. Part of an agreement reached following the end of the revolt was the creation of the Morridane Crown, though for a while it still paid lip service to the Stevidian Crown hence the title 'Viceroy'.

Now the current monarch is Vicereine Lothwyn Boudica Cathmore II, the so many greats granddaughter of Robert Cathmore who first led the revolt and became the first Viceroy. Lothwyn became the monarch almost ten years ago after the dead of her father, though she was a scant few months short of turning 18 at the time. So pretty soon she's going to be turning 28 but thus far remains single, though Prime Minister Vermillion (as noted in the linked post) has been pushing for that to change mainly to ensure that theres an heir and the Cathmore line (by extension the Morridane Crown) continues. If there is no heir then the succession of the Morridane Crown could get a little...complicated, it may even revert to Stevid.

Vermillion is hoping for ties with the Golden Throne with the view of perhaps influencing the biggest player in GD, but things are pretty much open ended as to how they could go. Lothwyn was seeing Prince Augusto of Imbrinium for a while but the Mordent Conflict(s) has effectively ended that relationship. So pretty much any royal or noble in GD could try their luck.

Man, Fedor really needs to have more children. I never thought about his siblings, and they never came up in A Passion Play, so he's an only child. He has two children, one of which (the daughter) is betrothed to the heir of Golghant. The son, Karles, is not currently betrothed, so that's one option, but without another living heir (the daughter surrenders her claim to the throne as soon as the claim threatens a political union between two nations, unless that was the original purpose of the marriage) marrying off Karles has to be done carefully.

Fedor's side of the family is...small. He executed his father, and it's safe to assume that any siblings of his father and their children were executed as well as part of the general purge of the aristocracy that happened during A Passion Play.

Fedor will have more children, I'm just not sure when (and with whom).

There are plenty of options on Sophie's side, but it's not guaranteed that her family will remain important in The Golden Throne (TGT), depending on how I evolve her marriage with Fedor.

All of this being said, given that Morrdh was a former colony of Stevid, because of our efforts of reconciling with Stevid following events in A Passion Play, I think it would make sense for Fedor to recommend a marriage between the Morridane and Stevidian royal families. It's hard to predict where anything in GD is going, but one thing to mention is that it's likely that diplomatically central GD will start to coalesce into an alliance designed to stabilize this part of the region, between the three powers in the area: Stevid, Imbrinium, and TGT. But, this is still 'theoretical,' meaning it hasn't been RPd.

Well as I said, the Vicereine has been crowned almost ten years now. So there probably will be a RP for the related celebrations, perhaps a good a chance as any to get the ball rolling.

She is the figurehead of the Commonwealth Colonial Authority, though she doesn't have a role in the day-to-day running of that organisation she does have some influence.

Ey, so I'm new here in this region. Been away from Nationstates for a while and I'm interested in getting back into a thriving Role-playing community without dealing with the issues that come with joining a random thread on the NationStates forum. You guys seem legit and I'd love to join. How do I get started here?

What up, welcome to the region!

GD is an open region, so you're welcome to come in whenever you'd like. We are mostly an RPing community, so the way I would think of it is introducing yourself to a network of storytellers. One easy way to start off is by posting in the news thread. You're also welcome to use this thread to share ideas and gauge interest. If you use IRC, we have an IRC channel that is moderately active (not at this time, though). We collaborate on stories there, as well. Pretty much, the way to do it is to jump right in.

For a spot on the map, TG Mokastana. He's currently on a FO4 binge, but he'll get to it. If none of the open land particularly interests you, (a) I will soon be drawing a new continent and (b) you can also be an island-based country.

If you have any questions about the region, canon- or otherwise, ask away.

I do have a few questions about the region, actually, mostly to help me figure out how to role-play my nation -

1) What is the general tolerance for goofiness? I'm not going to be a nation of giant radioactive spiders or anything, but I am a nation built around a megacorporation that controls the people by exploiting a stick-based religion.

2) Is there a standard 'size' for countries - population, military, or whatever other kind of balance limitations, or is it just kind of lassaiz-faire?

3) How close to reality are things kept? Are countries generally modern, or do we cleave a little bit into the realm of slightly post-modern advanced sciencey stuff?

It varies. Some people not very much at all, others ride war tigers into battle. I don't think very many people would have a problem with your idea at all. What kind of message is the religion about?

2) Is there a standard 'size' for countries - population, military, or whatever other kind of balance limitations, or is it just kind of lassaiz-faire?


Definitely laissez-faire. I RP my NS pop, others pop cap, and if we need to the non-pop cappers will pop-cap if the OP asks for it (or if otherwise agreed on).

3) How close to reality are things kept? Are countries generally modern, or do we cleave a little bit into the realm of slightly post-modern advanced sciencey stuff?


There's a range here too. Some of us are very post-modern, others are still strict modern tech. Our focus on the story tends to smooth these incongruencies out, and so tech variation doesn't really play a role in much outside of 'window dressing' or in the building of the world, setting, and characters.

That you do.

How do we want to do this? I'm down to take host bids. Hosts typically handle the scorination, but because this is the first one in a while I'm down to deal with the scorination for anyone who would like to host but not deal with the tedious part. Hosting, in that sense, would entail preparing the OP with arena information, an intro to the country as if the reader were a tourist (for example), etc. that kind of stuff.

I'm planning for space-related RP with working title of The Moon Project. The premise of the RP is that Haishan put something on the Moon. Other details however, aren't hashed out at the moment. Anyone interested could ask me in GD's Discord.

Somewhat in PMT due to certain aspects--for a start I'll post an IC NOTAM in news thread as a hint. For further details et al, hit me up on Discord as aforementioned or send a TG.
I prefer Discord though. I'm no longer in regional irc channel anymore by the way.

I meant more whether it was a historical based RP or 'current day' one.

TG inbound.

What would you guys say to a GD version of the International Civil Aviation Organization?

Dienstadi Aerospace Commission (DAC) comes to mind for a name, functions in a similar fashion to the ICAO but its remit also covers 'Earth' orbit.

GATA is heavily towards trade, I view the DAC more as a sort of civil aviation authority promoting the co-ordination of flight paths, multi-national search & rescue ability and agreed standards/legislation (docking air locks for example).
