For the past ten years, Europe has remained divided between the Federal Republic of Vyrsar and the Allied States of Azurlavai. Two military and economic powers staring at each other over a shared border as each tries to claim what they can. Vyrsar fights fervantly to bring its past to order, while Azurlavai fights whatever threatens it. For the time being, the two are evenly matched in terms of technology, military strength, economic prosperity and overall determination. A full-out conflict between them will end badly for all sides, regardless of who wins.
Welcome to the Cold War.
--------------------------
A few ground rules! In this continuum, human history has been -erased-. Nothing is like our own world. No nations, no events remain the same. But the world is the same. So far, we have two contenders, with the hope that several more will join. The main focus is, of course, our two competing European nations. However, in a Cold War, everything in the world influences things, so your nation might just be the greatest influence.
Another thing to make clear; this is a fluff thread. We're using the events here to cast a world, not work towards a specific goal. That means we'll be going on for a while without a clear end in sight.
Confirmed Nations-those known to be in the RP
Federal Republic of Vyrsar
Allied States of Azurlavai
Kingdom of Maiquis (France, divided up there on the map)
Federal Republic of Free Terra
Dominion of Voyostok
People's Republic of Kalakuri
Those people who wish to apply must not only state their nation and territory to claim but also their stance in the war and who they support. If you territory is already claimed, you may attempt to negotiate for it with the person who claimed it, but while reasonable we work largely on a first-come-first serve basis. This is a realistic, serious dedication thread. The usual rules apply (no godmodding, spamming, trolling, insulting etc.). Vyrsar and I hold the keys of power here.
And another note on Post Modern Technology-we run the gambit from the 2020s to about the 2070s. If you have advanced tech that you think puts you over the edge, submit it to either me or Vyrsar first.
Here are some examples of current technology in widespread use in this world:
Powered armor
Mech suits/exoskeletons
Holograhic HUDs
Advanced combat optics
Caseless ammunition
Combat drones
Fuel-air explosives
EMP technology
Railguns
Optical stealth
Orbital weaponry
We thank you for your cooperation, and hope you have fun!
and that North America and practically all of the Arabian Peninsula is due for annexation. Like Russia.
