The world looks like something from an early science fiction stories one could find in The Weird Tales magazine - zeppelins roam the skies above huge art-deco skyscrapers, jazz performed on theremins flows from the juke-joints, while gangsters fight with electric guns. It is a World made by Telsa, although not the world he might have dreamed of. How did it all started?
In 1893 Nikola Tesla makes an interesting allience- he is approached by Charles Yerkes, baron of mass transit. Yerkes shows great interest in development of wireless broadcast thinking it can give him some edge over his business rivals. The first wireless transmitter is built in 1902. with Yerkeses money and world entered a new era. After Yerkes died in 1905 Yerkes- Tesla foundation continued to work to make world a better place, now working for benefit on mankind and not for Yerkes financial interests. Flood of inventions came into the world: radio, electrotherapy, microwaves, huge electrically powered factories that increased production by hundred-fold while reducing the amount of human work needed.But no amount of technology can eliminate man's greed and ambition. And some events happen no matter what. Again, it was the murder of Austrian heir to the throne that had opened Pandora's box of destruction.
In 1914 World War started raging with new destructive power as all sides involved used Tesla's invention to kill and destroy. It kept on for full five years, destroying much of what's been build and changing the face of world. It ended undecisively, with a victory for US backed Entente powers, and World Council was put in place to take care of the world peace. However, behind the curtain of new world diplomacy arms race raged on. Now, in the year of 1930, there are more challenges for the world powers as destructive potential of Tesla's invention is revealed.
In this RP you might play as any Nation, character or organization. The point of divergence is 1893.
Rules:
1. Don't Godmod
2. Don't be a jerk
3. No war-boners- I expect long period of diplomatic tension between countries before you take out big guns
4. If needed I might RP nations that are not taken by players and are necessary for the political goals of played nations. I will consider out-of-the-blue annexation of "NPC nations godmodding
5.Have fun.
