The Darkest Hour (MATURE)(MT/PMT)(OOC)

[Significance]

Application

-Nation name: The Greater German Kaiserreich (or just Germany)
-Some information about your nation: The Kaiserreich is a Federated Kingdom underneath a Kaiserin (Empress) and a Constitutional monarchy with the Reichstag as the main body of parliament. We are a socially progressive, monarchical Germany (in this timeline, the monarchy was restored after World War II and fully restored after German reunification).
-Plan for the RP: Germany is very much against Nazism and national socialism and will stand against it in a very strong and determined way.

Nation’s territory:

Accepted.

Looks good here Significance can have Tasmania but my country also owns New Zealand as well.

Sorry, not happening; Barfleur already has New Zealand. (Or negotiate with them.)

I'd prefer if Barfleur and Pere Housh Alpha sorted out their own territorial disputes. I'll throw out the idea of 50/50 again to help.

[Rhinocera]

Application form:
As you have the freedom the chose to act however you like as events unfold, I ask only of two things.
-Nation name - Rhinocera
-Some information about your nation - Rhinocera is a massive, authoritarian nation occupying much of Canada and Greenland, along with the islands between the two. The head of state is Supreme Consul Sahara (as this takes place 30 years in the future most of my present leadership would be dead or retired, so I’ll be using a minor character and I apologize if any minor inconsistencies occur) serving as a queen or empress of sorts. Sahara is the 1st female Rhinocera head of state and is balancing political turmoil due to her less than delightful ascension to leadership.
-and what you initially plan to do in the RP - NAS, being Rhinocera’s neighbor and a fellow authoritarian state, will be supported by the Rhinoceran government in a non-military manner for the time being, though escalation is possible. However, Rhinoceran intelligence is unaware of any widespread persecution of the Jewish population, dismissing the rhetoric as an unfortunate hateful rallying cry, not the beginning of something terrible. Rhinocera’s primary concern is preventing the establishment of precedent for the removal of authoritarian regimes on the North American continent, a precedent it will oppose violently if necessary.

[Snofjogur]

Oh, believe me I don’t see you as a pedant at all. Four years of German has led me to loathe my NS name however every way of correctly saying the name was already taken by another nation :/
Furthermore, I’m a fierce proponent of the Eszett, Max Berry however is not. Therefore NS only allows Latin characters in nation names, and therefore my beloved ß could not be included in the name despite my attempts.

Therefore I compromised and gathered the essence of, you are correct in saying WWI-style Germany, at the cost of this ridiculously incorrect name. So no harm no foul, just NS’s stupid rules at their best.

I agree, all hail the eszett! It annoys me that it's slowly being dropped in favour of ss. And I know how you feel about NS; I recently tried to create a nation with a Þ (thorn) but had to settle for Th.

[Barfleur]

Sorry for my recent inactivity. In response to Significance’s post: We will start out with a set amount of troops stationed in NZ, and for the rest of this RP, we will not bring any more troops from our home planet. How does that sound?

Works for me if written well. You just need to sort out the territorial dispute now.

[Danceria]

Thi is a tag, I assume Russia is still available for plucking? If not, I'll do India.

Russia is sadly not.

Hope East Kekistan doesn't mind a slightly Georgist/Producerist Nazboleonic little brother who gives tech support.

[New yugoslavaia]

Well, finally made a post. Jus setting things up.

[EastKekistan]

We don't.

Well, is there a nuclear Israel in the game? This is actually the most important factor that is currently underrated.

[Barfleur]

Here’s a suggestion: We own NZ, but Pere Housh Alpha is allowed to use some of my bases on the islands. Does that sound good?

[Kenmoria]

Has New Canter signed up in this OOC thread? I can’t find them here.

I don't believe so.

I was wondering the same thing. I'll TG them. It's cleaner, IMO.

[Danceria]

-Nation name: The Union of Greater Indian States

A succinct summarization (as this NS nation doesn’t exist on Earth): On an international scale, India is often described as “south Kekistan” due to it’s rather anti western and exceptionalist attitude on the world. It consists of Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and India proper. Since the 1950s and the rise of concern of environmentalism, India gradually becomes a more disciplined and authoritarian state, mostly due to the vast amount of people residing on the subcontinent. This means while the standard of living is surprisingly higher than OTL, it doesn’t exude as much influence across the world. We’re “building tall” (that is to say, mostly focused on public works and infrastructure, and competing with (and begrudgingly losing to) East Kekistan in terms of being the world’s manufacturer.

What am I gonna do?: Post offensive memes about the tragedy of six Jews dying in Alaska, and the utter ridiculousness of the whole situation. Overall, stay neutral, and sort of feel out the general view of the world. While critics state that Indians are in fact anti-semitic, this is more of an economic reasoning, as Baron de Rostchild ran the Bank of the British Empire (or at least, a wide variety of banking establishments across Europe, if this history doesn’t allow for British occupation of India). Naturally, leftists from India often decry their compatriots for “condemning the staff and wealth rather than the abusers”.

Is there any Israel in the scenario?

Not that I'm aware of. I can understand the need for one though. Any ideas on how to bring one in?

I (or someone else) can create one.

The post-1948 world and the pre-1948 world are completely different whenever we discuss Nazism due to a nuclear Jewish state.

The existence of Israel is a fact IRL so it doesn't need to be justified.

Of course. I'll let everyone here take a look at your idea, in case they would like a go. I know some people love more responsibility. If not though, I can always try my hand at three nations at once. At least if it goes wrong, it'll probably be hilarious.

I reckon whoever controls Israel should also control USA. Maybe telegram someone...? (I can telegram a few people if you’d like..)

Sure. One fact is clear though. If I play as Israel I will immediately begin to strike NAS for real. If things get sufficiently serious I won't mind nuking Anchorage. Of course if antisemites are about to destroy Israel I will carry out the Samson Option, trying to bring down as many nations as possible such as tricking USA, Significance, USSR, East Kekistan and Greater Indian States into destroying each other.

That's just how I deal with genocidal anti-merchant nations.

[Halfront]

-Nation name: Halfront
-Some information about your nation: Old, Cultured Nation that is somewhere in Eastern Europe
-and what you initially plan to do in the RP: Play as I please towards the events of the roleplay. I still need to read RP and DEvelop an understanding of it but, I will try to be an influence in it.

I'm fine with that.

I’d love to see that. Nordland won’t, mind you, but I think the threat of nuclear war would be beneficial for this game.

It seems to me that we also need someone to play as the USA. Don't know whether they're still a superpower in the 2050s, but they're probably still strong unless something drastic has happened, and no power is going to sit by while an insurgency like that happens in its sovereign territory.

Also, if there's an Israel, is there a Palestine (which would immediately side with NAS foir obvious reasons)? Does Palestine still exist in the 2050s? Has it been granted international recognition as a sovereign state? Is it still disputed? Has it disappeared?
