Damn, I may regret making this game again, but why the hell not.

The events of these game are purely player determined. I merely dictate the results. Also, the wordl this takes place in is modern day earth. Thought I should make that clear.

The world is at war. The two original countries involved in their private and small conflict has escalated to the height of a global conflict, testing political alliances and ideals. Many countries disagreed with the policies of their governments and open rebellions took place. Dictatorships rose in many formerly democratic countries, inciting attacks from the still democratic countries. World War III rages on.

This is a semi serious world simulation, so no doing anything too stupid unless you want to be destroyed. Also, I need two volunteers to be the original two countries that started out this whole mess. The mess itself will be decided on by me once I have the volunteers.

Character sheet:

Country: (A real geographic location, but if its ruled as a dictatorship you can call it whatever you want. Yes, you can even call Canada the united galactic federation of bob)
Form of Government: (To simplify things, I suggest a dictatorship)
Your Name/Title: (If applicable. You can be the grand leech of all awesomeness if you feel like it, but again, not to stupid please.)
Basic info: (Its called wikipedia. Id like ?real? information, such as capitol, military size, whether or not they have a nuclear weapons program, size of military, economy etc. Any thing you add to this section, put in quotes.)
Secret Weapon: (Something that you make up. For example, if you are the United States, you can say that area 51 is real and that it has a flying saucer. Or you could have a secret nuclear program, or a secret crack military team. Whatever this is, PM anything related to it to me.)
History: (How the current government and your involvement came into being.)

Example:

Country: The Grand Republic of Central Europe (Aka. The Czech Republic)
Form of Government: Dictatorship
Your Name/Title: Gurvin Olakov, Grand Leader of the People
Basic Info: No nuclear weopns program or navy. Small army and air fprce. Economy 82% EU average. Population of about 10.2 million ?Until the takeover by Olakov, the country was highly activist. He also reinstated the draft to bulk up the army.?
Secret weapon: Pm'd to GM
History: After the minor conflict that sprang into WWIII took place, the government of the Czech Republic sided with the NATO countries (as they were part of NATO and the EU). This angered many people in the country (Though not the majority), who rose up and rebelled, installing a dictator with their political views. Olakov and his men suppressed basic freedoms and reinstated conscription.

Again, this game is player determined. I DM the results. And yeah, I expect everyone's sheets to be at least as good as the example. (Which isn't that great.)

Sounds like fun, here is my entry -

Country: The Unified Island Confederacy (aka) United Kingdom
Form of Government: Dictatorship
Your Name/Title: Supreme Overlord, Sam Ridley
Basic Info: Navy, Airforce and Army, Nuclear weapons program, Population 60,975,000, Economy - 5th largest in world, 2nd largest in Europe.
Secret Weapon: PM'd to GM.




History: Whilst the majority of the UKs armed forces were abroad fighting in minor pre-WWIII conflicts, Ridley incited a bloody coup in London, using a small army of devout followers he had gained through the loss of confidence in the current political climate. By recreating the gunpowder plot he destroyed the Houses of Parliment, and in the following confusion his army split into two groups - one taking care of ther remaining security forces in London. The other entered Buckingham Palace and forced the Queen to abicate - leaving her throne to Ridley.

He promised a brighter future for the inhabitants, whom quickly fell into line under his militarian regime. He promptly recalled most of the troops from abroad, forcing them to swear allegience to his new Confederacy. Basic freedoms were restricted and Ridleys reign began as he isolated himself from the rest of Europe. The Royal Family is though to have fled the country.

Ridley has since built on new structure on the ruins of the Houses of Parliment - The Grand Hall of the Unified Island Confederacy. Where he gave his first inspirational speech to the populace. Promising food on every table, jobs for every family, and above all, a brighter, better future, in which all citizens can play their part. Ridley captured the hope of a nation, securing their loyalty for the future ahead...

(Edited to add Flag and expand history)

I have a few questions...

Will we have a world map? It would be easier if there was a world map where we can follow progress.

How do battle work? Do you do some calculation and say the results, or...?

What is the aim? To gain political/economical/militaristic control of the globe? To defeat the other nations? To survive a Global Thermonuclear conflict?

And finally, is there some button for the declaration Defcon 1, or is Thermonuclear combat banned?

1. Yes. I'll color in places in MS paint so it will be messy but there will be one

2.I will calculate how far into the country your forces get based on the amount of forces you invaded with, defense and terrain. So yeah, I'll do some calculation. (It's the sole purpose for a Dm in this game.)

3.Unless you are one of the original two countrys, you decide that.

4. Nuclear war is permited, though advised agianst for odvious reasons.

Samexf, your accepted.

I'm down.
Soviet States of Rostovakia (Soviet North Ossetia)

Premiere Alexander Kozlov
Area: [contains all- Rostov Oblast, Volograd Oblast, Krasnodar, Astrakahn, Kalymkia, Ingushetia, Kalbardino-Balkeria, North Ossetia, Chechnya, soon to assimilate South Ossetia] Approximately 600,000km[sup]2[/sup]
Resources: Highly rich in dormant Heavy Industry since the Soviet Union, including the Volograd metropolitain area, Highly arable land and the more rich Oil deposits of Russia.
Population: 7,005,956, 2014 est.
Currency: Nova Ruble (R), ^0.64 $USD
Military: Equivalency to Former Czechoslovakia, with extensive interior strengthening and isolation programs underway to make it reliant on only Domestic weapons and vehicles, planning on making country completely autonomous and self sufficient by 2030.
Navy is very small but growing.
Superweapon: Highly Efficient Secret Proprietary Aircraft Engine, allows for highly versatile and cheap aircraft.
History: Due to the economic strain caused by the United States' recession in 2008 in conjunction of the Military Muscle-flex under Vladmir Putin by Russia in 2009 and 2010, Volograd Oblast and Rostov began meetings with surrounding Oblasts and sections of Russia, until they began an ambitious plan to go for autonomy to form a strong, unified Ossetian country and culture unique to the continent and apart from Russia.
With it's autonomy, the political status with Russia is heavily strained and partially weak due to Ossetia losing it's most reliable source of demography and bureaucracy, whereas Russia lost one third of it's industrial and commercial power with the split.
It's political friends are those who are still Communist, although Chinese relations are starting to falter. Ossetia tenaciously tries to Ally with the United Island Confederacy, but the proud British people refuse to take a gain of Communists unless they can prove themselves a capable power.

Ah. Thanks for your answers, I guess I'll join since I have a lot of free time on my hands and this could be interesting.

Country: National Republic of Lithuania

Form of Government: Republic

Your Name/Title: President Tomas Krik?taponis.

Basic Info: Extensive medical research program, progressive science. Medium sized army and small air force, very small navy. Economy 65% EU average. Population of 3,45 million. Nuclear energetics are very well researched.

Currency: NLL (National Lithuanian Litas) (1 NLL- 0,5 USD.)

Secret weapon: It's secret, isn't it?

History: One of the Oldest countries, Lithuania has had a troubled past. Blood stained her banner, but she was defeated time after time in it's older days. Eventually she became a small nation in the Baltics - her people bitter, disliking Poles, Russians, Jews, Germans and it left them with an everlasting hate towards communists. Just freed from the Soviet Union, they see themselves as the heirs to the dynasty of Last Pagan Nation. Their spirit is strong, but they were divided. Until a charismatic politician - Tomas Krik?taponis, a nationalist, brought the people together to fight for a cause - the reinstitution of the Largest State of Europe.

Once World War III was in sight, the small republic decided it was time to take the lands that were stolen from them and repay all for the harms that have been done. With the election of the new president, Lithuania has started to conscript infantry, purchase and create tanks and gear up for war. The time to write the wrongs of history and bring back the largest country of Europe has come. The Nation is Aggressive, the People are Cynical and the rest of Europe is their Enemy.

Fine. I just want to have a simple country but it's too wrong. The history that I can make up is wrong, the geography is wrong. THANKS. THANKS A WHOLE LOT.

Country: Germany-Poland area. I'll call it Polmany.
Government: Republic.
Name: President Chrysler.
Info: Capitol of Warsaw. Population 120,000,000. No nuclear program. "Heavily based on tanks and foot units, as I'm going to decree. Poorly trained navy, average airforce. Spec Ops? Undecided as of now."
Secret Weapon: I'll go with Blitzkrieg.

History: Shortly after WWII, The USSR took over Germany.

In my version of this history, the people rebelled. In 1960, they were successful and reunited Germany. Unphased, they took over Poland and stopped all expansion in order to join NATO. After joining NATO, the country perfected Blitzkrieg and started some rudimentary research on a Spec Ops force, code names "Patriots", who are rumored to rival the SAS and supposedly wear some new form of camo: Red for the blood of Germany's Past, White for the hope the Poland Had, and Blue for the Courage they yearn to display.
Okay. You don't understand how this works. history is the same as it alwyas was. So You'll need to change that.

But you said in the opening:

History: (How the current government and your involvement came into being.)
Which mine is. Mine explains that after the USSR took over, Germany rebelled and took Poland, creating the country that I've created.

I think what he meant was that your chosen country's history is the same as it was until the modern era, then, some time ago, you took command and formed your government, thus diverging from history. There history changes, not before.

However, you wanted to form a new Nation along with a Government. You can have the government, but you can't have a Polish-German state, because it would be against modern history, see? If we would be allowed to create our own nations we could make a WSSR (World Soviet Socialist Republic) Or Mexuba (Mexican Cuba).

Edit: Come to think of it, Mexuba would be awesome.

Well, I can't choose between the two and I have an interesting snippet of non-sequiter history. Besides, they're close together! It's not like I'm making a Mexican and Chinese country.

So Is Cuba and Mexico, but my country isn't Mexuba, now is it?

Well, you'll have to if you want to participate. This is an Rp where we take real history and then just take command of one country and then the paths of history diverge into what actually happened and what will happen here. So, Germany is still Germany and Poland is still Poland. I'm sorry, but you'll have to decide, unless the OP says something other. (At that point, I'm making Mexuba.)

P.S. Take Germany. They have an "Instantly Crush Poland" button.

If I remake everything, choose one country, things like that. Are you gonna accept me? Or are you not gonna because I did not understand the rules to start with? The rules are vague.

Examples:
Country: It says one geographic location. Technically, the Himilayas are a geographic location. So, can my country be based along the Himilayas, even though there is no one country that has all of the Himilayas? No. You shouldn't say geographic location. You should say Political Location.

History is also confusing. For my original, I did give it a story on how it came into being. But you rejected it. Why? Well, it didn't follow "History up till a few seconds ago". Clarify it like this.
History: Why your country is in this conflict.
There. That's simple, and I know that I can't post an alternate history.





So, if I understand those and make a new country following those, am I allowed?

This looks like it could be awesome. I can't give you my country right now--I have to do a bit of reaserch to decide where I want to be, get some sleep so I can make coherent decisions, and find my dictator hat. But rest assured that I will be participating. If I don't post anything tomorrow, I will the day after.
