Founded in 2011, Esquarium offers an active, engaging community, worldbuilding that is both well-developed and adaptive to new arrivals, and high-quality modern tech roleplaying. Set in a closed world and canon separate from the greater NS multiverse, we have an extensively-documented lore and roleplay opportunities open to all members, from military conflicts to diplomatic visits to location RPs to parliamentary shenanigans, and everything in between. Oh, and we have a snazzy Wikipedia-style map.
Interested? Feel free to hop on board! We are always looking for new members to help us build an interesting world. We don't expect you to be active every day and in every aspect of the region. More interested in writing IIwiki articles than character RPs? No problem. We welcome new and experienced players alike and we'd be glad to have any style of play.
Please complete the following application. You will be accepted after receiving TWO approvals. One of us will be with you shortly to approve you or offer some suggestions for revisions before accepting you. You will not be denied except in exceptional circumstances.
Approval panel: Ainin, Union of Akoren, Tuthina, Sjalhaven, Sjealand
- You may either link to a previous RP or write a paragraph or two from scratch for the RP sample. A good, professional news article is acceptable as an RP.
- You may write about anything for your RP sample. Here's some ideas if you get stuck: Your country's generals inform you of an impending nuclear strike; An assassin strikes on the Queen's wedding day; A newspaper article about a hurricane
- Please don't claim to be a great power from the start, and try to keep the population size reasonable. Remember that in real life, less than 6% of countries have over 100 million people and less than 12% have over 50 million people.
- Please choose a contiguous spot over an island. If you really need to be an island, please explain why in the application.
- We would prefer it if you placed your nation in a culturally realistic position (i.e. don't put Swedes in the middle of the African/Middle Eastern continent of Nautasia or Kenyans near the North Pole or Chinese speakers in the Nordic continent of Nordania).
- Don't be afraid to edit your coastline to your liking. In fact, we highly encourage it!
