The New World is suffering the impending scourge of war. The North American Union, the oldest and most powerful nation in the United British Commonwealth of Nations, is in an intractable cold war with a new regional rival: the Catholic Republic of Langenia. The two giants dominate American trade, military power, energy sectors, and industrial output, but they are diametrically opposed to one another ideologically. The NAU is a multinational and federal parliamentary democracy with the Britannic sovereign as their head of state and symbol of Anglosphere prestige and power, power and prestige that is waning since the start of the century. Langenia is a centuries old nation developed from intermarriage and codependence of native peoples and later Europeans where culture and language became a unique blend of the two, but Langenia established decades ago an authoritarian regime that promises security and prosperity if all serve the state and the Supreme Leader.
Military power, economic power, and geopolitical power are all key to maintaining control of the American subcontinents.
Who will be the new constable of the New World? Who will help the NAU or Langenia reach dominance from the Arctic to the Strait of Magellan? Or will another player in this great game geopolitics emerge?
For players interested in this, you may apply on the OOC thread or telegram me, The Union of British North America, as I will be OP. Langenia will be deputy OP and we'll make any major decisions jointly.
Obviously, NS accounts set as countries in the Americas will be preferred as players (including fictional countries set in the Americas or alternate history countries), or those willing to play as countries in the Americas. Countries outside the Americas will be considered along with their role, but not too many are to be expected.
Please confer with the maps and geography of The Union of British North America or Langenia for where you could participate.
Examples of American countries (that are not ruled out by North America or Langenia because of already claimed geography):
- Mexico
- Brazil
- Argentina/Patagonia
- Chile
- Uruguay
Rules:
1. No godmodding or metagaming.
2. Keep military forces and technology within MT or MT+ (talk with the UBNA or Langenia if you have questions). Fictional but modern tech equipment is acceptable, but subject to confirmation among the OP and deputy OP. Also keep military tactics and operations within realism (logistics, people, logistics).
3. Keep OOC in OOC, keep IC in IC.
4. Invasions and other major military events (like treaties, WMDs, things like that) must be discussed before hand to hammer out the agreed outcomes among players.
5. Be fair, reasonable, and not a mean person. The UBNA and Langenia both have the collective and individual power to remove players who fail to follow the rules, including escalation to NS mods.
