Optional RP Prompts
As a disclaimer, there is no rule that you must follow RP prompts. You can diverge from or completely ignore the prompt. There is no bonus for responding to the RP prompt, nor is there a penalty for ignoring the RP prompt.
MD1 RP Prompt: Tell me about your nation's capitol city. Why was it chosen to be the capitol? What's the culture of the city? What makes it unique? What makes it fun? Is it a young city, an old city, an expensive place to live? Any and all details are welcome.
MD2 RP Prompt: Tell me about language in your nation. What do people speak? Are people mostly speaking Terrenean? (English?) Is your local language in danger of becoming lost? Are you trying to resurrect a dead language? Are there a bunch of langauges spoken- from migrant groups, or native groups, or anything like that? Do you have an official language? Do different regions speak different languages? And are linguistic issues divisive politically? Anything and everything there is to know about language in your country- let me know!
MD3 RP Prompt: Tell me about Pets in your nation. Are people big pet owners in your nation? What kind of pets do they have- dogs, cats, etc... Very familiar to the international community? Are there breeds of internationally common pets(dogs, cats, hamsters, etc...) that are unique to your nation? Or are there entire species of pets that are unique to your nation?
And to build upon that... Are certain pets a showcase of wealth or power? Would wealthy people be more likely to have any exotic pets? Or maybe your country does not have any sort of pet-owning culture: in that case, do they think it's weird that others do?
MD4 RP Prompt: I've asked about your nation's capitol city- probably one of the largest cities in your country. Let me ask about your country's rural life. Do you have large rural populations? What are they like, on the aggregate? Right-wing, culturally conservative? Left-wing agrarian? Do they tend to be more or less religious? What do they do for a living? A lot of farmers? Loggers? Retirees? How much of your country lives in the rural areas? Maybe just a small chunk, or is it like half the country? And what do rural areas look like in your country? Lots of corn? Trees? Mountains? Lakes? Everything and anything there is to know about the rurals!
Or maybe your country lacks rural areas. In that case, why is that? Is that just a function of geography? Or is that the result of intentional practices by governments to urbanize the country? Or maybe another reason entirely- destroyed by natural disaster? Nuclear war? Environmental waste? Spill the beans!
MD5 Prompt: 16 teams are left in the tournament. IT's an exciting time- all of you have achieved something, and there are hopes that your team is the one good enough to win it all this time around. Tell me about hope in your country- both inside & outside of football. Is there a ton of hope and optimism around the NT? What are people hopeful for in general in your nation? Hopeful about the general direction of your country? Hopeful for their personal lives- economically? Hopeful that their kids will have it better than they did? Hopeful about personal things- getting married, buying a house, etc... Anything that your citizens are hopeful for/optimistic about, let us know!
