If i missed anything or if i have something wrong in the above maps or lists, please let me know.
I'm not an expert on everything that is going on around the globe.
Chosing a nation:
While all nations are available, its important to think about the country you're going to play. First of all you need to know the nation you RP, know its way of dealing with issues and know its policies. If you don't know that much about the nation you want to RP, no problem. Just make sure you get to know it. Find out what their situation is, in what kind of organisation they are involved in ect. Besides knowing the country you want to play, take a quick look at your own plans for the RP. Is it realistic in the lines with your country? If so, then join up. If not, perhaps another nation would be better.
Post Quality:
I expect a decent post quality, no one/two/three liners. I expect at least two Paragraphs. Try to put a good amount of detial in it and it shouldn't be a problem to get up a good post.
Timescale:
In this RP there won't be a precise timeline. Its to difficult to maintain a clear timeline while one is involved in a war while another is waiting for something to happen. Becouse of this we will put dates in our IC posts. When someone has a meeting or is involved in open conflict we proceed at a slow process, when there aren't any urgent happenings we can proceed more quickly. Just keep an eye on what everybody is doing and it will do just fine.
Historical Accuracy:
We will all start with the current situations and policies in our nations. However, becouse we are not going to follow history it can chage over time. This ofcourse not to fast. If you want drastic changes, then pick a country suitable for that matter. If you have the time, let it roll, start with minor changes and slowly change your nation.
Waging War:
Any conflict that is started must be waged reasonably and realistically. Keep all factors in mind: support, UN, terrain, mobilization ect. All major armed conflicts (Wars & Revolutions) must be pre-approved by me, This to keep it all realistic. If you plan on a war, let me know how you are going to build up the tentions, what you are going to do to prevent war, and how eventually the war will start. Keep alliances in mind, NPC's will act if needed. If you can't figure out a good plan you have options, i could try to help you with it, however this is not always possible and it very much depends on the nations policies and current situation. The second option is that you pick a country wich is already involved in a conflict. There are plenty of choices out there, so when you want to fight, i advice you to pick a country that is already involved in a war/conflict.
Technology:
Understanding the limitations of your nation's technology is important. The US will start with the best technology and it will probably stay that way. Its okay to improve your nations technology, but know that you can't jump ahead. Becouse we don't know what new inventions will come in the near future we will keep ourselves to the existing technology. We don't know what new technology will become reality in the near future, so keep yourselves to the current, existing technology.
Know How to Lose:
If you lose, say good game and go on. You can request to play as a revolutionary with new goals in the country you lost power in if you wish, just be realistic and don't go out there doing superman style politics/warfare. There's a map of existing seperatist movements in the world, plenty of choice among them.
Meta-Gaming:
What is meta-gaming? If something is talked about in OOC, for example a invasion plan for Afghanistan. I don't want someone going in there and placing troops in the way of the plan just from what they read in OOC.
Nuclear Warfare:
This will be the last point. Nuclear Weapons usage are going to be a strict part of this RP as Fallout is not something nice and there are rules on how to properly use them. Let us say two countries go to war, I don't want the two countries to as soon as they get into conflict, launch a nuclear missile at someone. If you are expecting to do that, this is not your RP. Now I will allow nuclear weapons to fly at times, but be aware of range and the possibility of it not making it to the target. Use it as sorta a "Last-Resort tactic". All Nuclear strikes must be pre-approved by me and made with legit reasons, even if you are bluffing the use just to get what you want.
