Story
It is the year 2011, the government of Kotralistan has collapsed. Kotralistan is an island in the middle of the straits of aqua. Most of the world turns a blind eye to this as Kotralistan is just another failed state. International aid workers make an alarming discovery on the island... OIL, lots of oil. The IOC (International Oil Commission) estimates approximately. ~250,000,000,000 barrels of it. (200billion of which can be extracted for reasonable prices). Worth approximately ~15 Trillion Dollars (at $60 a barrel). Nations whom are desperate to get their hands on oil are willing to go to war for oil reserves that can guarantee their states prosperity for the next century. However with so many nations jumping into the fray, it becomes apparent that deals must be made and it must be shared. Two coalitions born of greed are formed each trying to gain victory and seize the island. A third coalition bent on defending the island from outside predators is formed.
Coalition of Independent Oil Producers
Objective: The Coalition is formed of nations who have struck a deal to cease the island and then divide the oil amongst themselves. The reckon they will each walk away from this much richer and much more powerful.
Location: Northern Landmass
Members:
Federation of Allied Energy States

Location: Southern Landmass
Members:
International Peacekeeping Alliance
Objective: The alliance is not interested in the oil themselves, they are a do-good alliance of states whom wish to see the oil used to rebuild Kotralistan.

Rules/regulations/miscellaneous information
1. No Nuclear weapons, satellites, orbital weaponry, electronic warfare, chemical weapons, WMD's.
2. What goes on in this RP has no effects on things outside this RP. I want maximum participation and this seems to detour so many people from joining or playing actively.
3. NO GODMODDING. Look at the map, you cannot simply move forces from one place to another. Ships have to carry them or aircraft do. It takes time as well, considering the scale of the map. Take realistic casualties and deal realistic damage. If you think someone else is godmodding bring it up right away, don't let it go on until a point where an argument is going to start.
4. No you cannot destroy the oil wells.
5. 2.5 Million men per person CAP.

feel free to use this thread to negotiate some rules and specifics of how you want this to go down, nothing is set in stone yet and I don't think actual RPing will begin until we have it well worked out.
