The King is lazy, long live the President and Vice-President.

GM: Dutchbag, Russia; Does the stats, Asia save Japan, the Americas, Africa, Britain and the stats.
Co-GM: MagnificentOne, Britain; Does Europe save Britain and Japan

[i]Hello and welcome to World in Revolution; 1900. The date is January 1st, 1900, and the Boxer Rebellion rages on, the Ch'ing Dynasty is on the verge of collapse, and with it years of influence from Western nations. You, the player, must now take the reigns of a nation and lead it through this turbulent and troubling time. Although the Boxer Rebellion and other events in Asia will be a big part of the early stages, it is not the only focus of the game, and any nation is up for grabs.[/i]

[CENTER][b]Rules and Procedures[/b][/CENTER]

Orders are those things you send your GM every week to control your nation. Regular orders can concern anything, war orders are military movements. The amount of orders your nation has will be revealed when the thread goes live. Whoever you have to send orders to will be written down, too. Orders are sent to the GM via private message with the title formatted as; 'WiR - Nation Name - Year'. Example (and this is a heavily simplified version):

[quote] WiR - Belgium - 1900

Order One (nf): Increase the level of factories.
Order Two: Perform naval exercises off the coast.
Order Three: Build a railway from Ghent to Antwerp.
Order Four: Spread Belgian influence in the Congo further east.[/quote]

There is also the [b]National Focus[/b], which is an order than [i]will[/i] succeed, but not spectacularly. Can be used on anything except military movements.

After your orders have been sent, I will roll on them. The roll decides how well your order does. 

The deadline will always be Wednesday 12PM Amsterdam Time unless I explicitly say otherwise. Your orders will get a -1 every half an hour you're late.

[CENTER][b]Statistics[/b][/CENTER]

National Statistics, also called "Stats", are the main thing that keeps World in Revolution moving along. They are mostly all automated and kept in a Microsoft Excel Document, but they are quite complex. But for you, the player, it is rather simple since you don't have to do anything with it.
