The Reformation: Recovering from the Cataclysm.
(This will be useful, and important later, when you read through this!) The world map, showing fourty - four different regions, of which the main fourty - four nations of the world emerged from after the Cataclysm.
IC Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=499278&p=38389615#p38389615 (It's up! We are still open for more applications here btw.)
Forenote: [ This is not meant to be realistic, nor any true reference to the real world and it's many applications. This is simply harmless fun, and something for you people to do! By any means, I hope you have fun! ]
The Setting:
It was the middle of the 20th century, and it was a century that was predicted to bring great change to the world. In the first twenty years of the 100 years, the world suffered a war never seen before in human history... Millions died, great Empires fell, and the world underwent major change.
It was obvious that, from the get - go, the world would not learn from the war. Tensions boiled once more as nations found reasons to pick fights with one another, and eventually, the game would be up. The Third Reich would invade the neutral nation of Poland, forcing the second Allied front, involving the United Kingdom and France to join in against Germany.
This would boil over to involve the whole world. The Japanese Empire would fight against a powerful United States of America in the East, and slaughter thousands in China.
But then, when the war reached it's peak... Everything stopped. The Gunfire ceased as nations crumbled without any perceived reason. The remaining soldiers on their fronts would return to their 'Countries', only to find anarchy.
It seemed like the world was going through some sort of reset, as every single nation ceased to exist, though the people still stood.
Now, it is the year that marks the new millennium, 2000 A.D. The world has recovered, if partly, nations, old and new would reform to rule their respective regions. Can these nations learn from the old world and their mistakes, and use this fresh start to bring a great era of peace? Or is humanity forever burdened to keep making the same mistakes that they had before...
...And would the reason for the major event of the 1940's, being referred to as the Cataclysm by many be discovered? Time will tell...
OOC:
Welcome all to 'The Reformation: Recovering from the Cataclysm' ! This is a soft reboot of sorts from the old 'A new world, A new age' topic, which fell apart due to ambiguity in the rules, bad and even FailRP and, to be completely honest, a small dose of incompetence. It was also in International Incidents, though this may not necessarily be canon lore for the NationStates nations. Hell, some of us didn't even use our NationStates nations, which was fine.
The other one stated that it was focused around the Confederacy of Layem Region, no? Well, this one is open to everyone, as long as they follow the rules and guidelines, which I will list below, of course! Naturally, you'll see a bunch of CoL nations on this, and that's because, to put it simply, I will be advertising the crap out of this to my region LMAO.
Rules and Guidelines (This is where the map from above comes into play)
Your civilisation can only START in one region (Listed above)
Yeah, so to prevent absolutely monster nations from being put on the map from the get - go, I will be mandating that your nation can only be placed in one single region. I encourage you all to make more detailed maps of where you'd like to start if you wish to do so, but do try to keep it within the borders of the regions that I defined above. Thanks!
The limit on the technology level for your civilisation is COLD WAR technology.
Due to the Cataclysm, civilisation hadn't developed much, and new technologies past the stuff that was available during World War Two is only just now being developed by you! (The new countries) So modern technology like unwired phones (Smartphones), advanced computers, many of the medical innovations such as multiple vaccines, pain relief and other things, etc. etc. is a no - go. And this is stressed even more for Post Modern Technology, such as lasers, energy shields, antimatter devices, and other things. If I or one of my Co-Ops (Admins) see you use Post Modern Technology without a darn good reason, then you will be voided. Repeat offenders will be asked to leave, in addition.
Give a modicum of effort to your posts, no ONE - LINERS for example without good reason.
I expect for you, the player to have fun with this, of course, but I would appreciate it if FailRP, bad RP, most importantly One - Liners (Which I saw a lot of in the previous roleplay) was kept to a minimum. How would your fellow roleplayers be expected to efficiently follow up on your posts if you've provided no substance?
You won't get punished for the first few times, but a warning will be issued to repeat offenders, and if continued, you may be asked to hang your hat.
A quick fire round of other rules:
1. Nations that continually break rules or refuse to listen to me or my four Co-Ops will be removed and prohibited from rejoining until it is seen they are fit to.
2. BASIC REALISM. If you have a nation canon that’s space based or fantasy based, we can work together on how to fit it in.
3. No instant invasions. RP your fleet crossing the oceans first. Surrounding a country should take up an entire post. RP your preparations for the attack before you attack. Be realistic. NO TELEPORTATIONS. Blitzkrieging is allowed but you must prepare for it first.
4. No WMDs of any kinds until 2 of your territories on the map are invaded. Testing them is allowed, within reason.
5. You are prohibited in raising your initial population above 250 million. This is to prevent any nation from being too overpowered from the get - go
6. No god modding. So, basically, you don't dictate what other people's forces do and the damage they take. You only control your forces and the damage they take.
7. You may claim territories on the world map after your nations creation (This can be outside of the region of which you chose initially btw). You can increase your territory through invasions, or the colonization of territories that are unclaimed. You just have to rp it.
8. No Puppet Nations, unless sanctioned by either the Head Admin, or a Co-Op.
9. Your military can only be 10% of your population. 15% if you have conscription as a national policy. Realistically, it would be less than this, but this is the maximum.
10. And I cannot stress this enough. In order to regulate this rp, and keep things fair and fun, I am the deciding factor of what goes in this rp. So, if I say you can't have as many troops as you say you do, then you have to follow my numbers. I'm sorry, but we can't have rules without enforcement.
(Just kinda copy - pasted most of this from the original RP, thanks South Acren!)

Current Co-ops (Admins)

NOTICE:
This is the OOC thread, so that means DO NOT post IC stuff, like roleplaying your created nations here. An admin will let you know if your nation is eligible to be taken into the IC thread (Which will be posted once we've got a decent amount of participants). OOC messages should be posted here as well.
Current nations (And their starting region):
- -Tsarstvo Alyaski (South Polynesia) - - Pacific Ocean Territories
- -Southern Xenick (Xenick) - - Middle East
- -Stephaniesland- - The South
- -Svenska-Britannia- - North Europe
- -Wasi State (The Undying Soviet Science Republics) - - Russia
- -Charoskania (The Kingdom of Iberia) - - Iberia
- -South Acren Exiles - - Siberia
- -Trenaka (Controlled by Charoskania as a secondary nation) - - Germany
- -South Americanastan (Northeastern Republic) - - Appalachia
- -Republic of Deseret (Non Player Controlled Nation)- - Great Plains
- -Romaniche (The Sunrise Empire [ Japan ] ) - - Japan / Korea
- -Arvenia (The Republic of California [ Cascadia ] ) - - Greater Cascadia
- -The Socialist Republic of Australia (Non Player Controlled Nation)- - Australasia
- -People Republie of Alaska (The People's Republic of Alaska ) - - Greater Cascadia (Alternate)
If a nation has already claimed it's starting region, you are unfortunately locked out of creating your nation within it... So basically, first come first served.
