Forenote: Until this forenote is changed, or even removed, I must clarify that this IC RP is not open currently to applicants that have stated that they will be arriving on the 6th of December. In the IC time, it is only currently the 5th of December, which means that only those who have explicitly made it clear on their applications that their character(s) shall arrive on the 5th shall be allowed entry currently.
I will send out telegrams to the rest of the applicants when the 6th of December comes along, as so no one misses it. Until then, I ask that you refrain yourselves from posting here until that clarification is made.

The Novyy Tsaritsyn Kremlin, towering over the eponymously named city. It is similar in many ways to the Moscow Kremlin |
The Setting:
Not many in Tsarstvo Alyaski, nor the international world could have expected the early arrival of the wedding date between her majesty, Tsarina Ilyina Romanova and his excellency, Svenska-Britannia's chief General, Albert von Windserdotte. It is hardly customary for such an important event to take place mere months before meeting with said person, the expectation would only have been normal back before industrialization, where feudalism and serfdom ruled the world over...
However, that is the reality. Due to some unforeseen event, a hiccup perhaps, something that has been known to many an Alyaski resident but is either too uncomfortable to talk about, or has escaped memory. Either way, the important day shall not be soiled by an early date, it will still be an event to be celebrated, and to stand the test of modern times.
On the 6th of December, 2021, the wedding day will begin in earnest. With an exception to the most obvious event of the day, a great feast will be held after the official coronation had taken place in Novyy Tsaritsyn Kremlin's grand dining hall, and there are many other rooms, such as multiple lounges, office rooms and guest bedrooms on offer for other, perhaps not by - the - book activities.
OOC:
Please read the forenote above before continuing further.
Hello, and welcome all to the IC release of B День любви и жизни: Official Union between Tsarstvo Alyaski's 2nd Monarch and Svenska-Britannia's Grand General. Once more, I cannot underline the importance of this more, pay attention to any forenote stated before even attempting to make any post, please?
Well, anyways. In this IC thread, applicants who have been accepted by yours truly on the OOC thread now have the liberty of posting on this IC , of course whilst paying attention to any rules, guidelines or any additional provided information. I expect that everyone here can be sensible and follow the rules on this IC thread, alongside any additional guidelines provided on the original OOC topic, naturally. Mainly, I hope that you, the participants can find this enjoyable, and I cannot wait to see and RP with you all!
By any means, here are some rules that I wish to either reiterate or even add, see below:
Rules and Guidelines:
Firstly, there is a reason why this is in NATIONSTATES, not International Incidents:
What do I mean by that? Well, any actions that could provoke a large, negative reaction between two or more parties is not permitted. For instance, I do not want to see the Novyy Tsaritsyn Kremlin become a shooting range, a scene for armed conflict or the like. This shall be a peaceful event where serious injury and death are pretty much prohibited, unless there is a very good reason for it to happen, and when I say VERY GOOD, I mean it. I have the sole ability to void certain posts should they not fit with this criteria, or criteria below, but I hope that I will not have to void at all : ).
This is no closeted roleplay, and I expect for you, the player to acknowledge that:
Alright, what do I mean by that? The Roleplay may constantly shift and continue onwards, even if your character(s) had no role in making it so. I expect for you all to understand this fact, and adapt and change your RP in relation to the current situation. For instance, if I say that it is now the nighttime, I expect you all to react to that, for example preparing to leave Novyy Tsaritsyn, or preparing to crash in one's assigned room(s). That is just an example, but I hope it highlights what I am putting across a little better.
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 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 will be removed and prohibited from rejoining until it is seen they are fit to.
2. My nation is Modern Tech (MT), and is grounded in our real world and it's laws, as in all of them... I expect some realism with the characters you present to this RP, I am always willing to work with you to fit it in better to facilitate a more accurate roleplay if needed, and none of this has to be completely canon for your nation.
3. No god modding. So, basically, you don't dictate what other people do. You only control your character(s) and what they do. I can make liberties for the most simple of responses, such as ' [Insert person] notices [Your Person], and thus [Your Person] goes over to see them. ' or the such.
4.Don’t ‘RP in a bubble’. Try to acknowledge the flow. By signing up to this roleplay you're committing to engage with events that transpire. A good example of what NOT to do is have your character lock themselves in their guest bedroom for the whole event, but rather, actually engage other characters.
5. Let me give a scenario real quick. 'You have signed up to participate in this RP, and you have already posted numerous times in the IC thread. But real life comes over to slap you and take you away from the RP...'
For scenarios like this, where other important events take you away from your responsibilities to this, you may leave on a condition. If possible, I would appreciate it if you can provide an IC reason for why your character would be withdrawing from the event, and you could make anything semi - realistic up. Say, something along the lines of: ' YC (Your Character) has to attend a national emergency in their own nation, and thus has to quickly withdraw from the wedding event. ' At the very least, make an announcement in the topic that you'd be leaving, so that we players, and of course me as the sole admin can work around it.
6. 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.
Character cast (Tsarstvo Alyaski's characters, and NPC's):
Tsarstvo Alyaski:
Svenska-Britannia (Character(s) already present):
An additional notice:
This is rather important. Alaska is a cold climate, so expect sub - zero degrees Celsius temperatures, and it would be even colder since the winter months would be dawning. Plan accordingly with thick layers of clothes, and do not expect to be given access to the exterior of the Kremlin for extended periods of time unless warranted.
