Hey, I was just wondering, how exactly does this RP work. I mean it's got a bunch of lore and history and the OP seems to indicate that everyone would be playing nation vs nation but how exactly is that facilitated? Is it sort of like Babylon 5 with representatives of each nation in a neutral area and decisions and information filter through that station. Or do you IC just "AS THE NATION" in sort of a [i]Civilization 5[/i] style? Is there a system set up for this?

Also generally when it comes to nation on nation do you just sort it out among the RPers of that nation who takes what losses, how many troops died for that victory, which side wins, who's loosing resources, who annexed what world or is there more concrete numbers of how powerful each nation, base, supply line and so forth is? I guess I'm asking does it perform more like a strategy game where you match wits and abilities to determine who comes out ahead or is it more like a collaborative story where the players figure out what's going on amongst themselves?
