For many thousands, even millions of years, members of hundreds of different species spread across thousands of star systems have looked up into the sky. Some dreamed of peace and prosperity, others of conquest and war. A few dreamed of exploration, of the wonders that would be uncovered in the sky. It was those dreamers that pushed their species forward. Inventing new technologies, taking the reins of nations, helping others, and doings things nobody else would do. About 5 years ago, a great war swept through the tiny sliver of the cosmos which included the entire local group of galaxies. This horrific war began when the Earth Alliance and Equestrian Empire joined forces to do the unthinkable: attack a Draconian planet. The Draconian empire controlled dozens upon dozens of galaxies, and the common belief was that they were invincible. However, those two empires managed to take that first planet with all technology and defenses intact through a bloody battle that spanned the entire system. When the Draconian Empire got news of the attack, they launched an invasion of the entire Milky Way. However, they made the mistake of destroying a civilization the Triarian Collective practically worshiped in the process, and thus they fought with extreme vigor. The combined forces of the Milky Way brought down the Draconian Empire, with the help of species they liberated from their control. Now, the war is over and the dust is settling. The Draconians have been defeated, and are considered extinct, courtesy of the Triarii. The nations occupied by the Draconians are being set free with the Milky Way nations, which now have extremely advanced Draconian technology to reverse-engineer. Will the local group enter a golden age, or will it fall into chaos after the war?

Summary of events after thread was moved:

Your government can be as strange as you want it to be, it could even be a democracy in which minority always wins! Your species can also be human, provided you have a detailed explanation of how you got out of the solar system and at least 300 light years away before the official government did.

=Rules=
NO godmodding
NO metagaming (knowing secret stuff the enemy is doing) (unless you have spies)
NO isnta-stuff
Make an interesting history, no "It exists" histories.
Explain most of the history of your species, not just the space part. ((I didn't do that because we already know it and the only major event after now was WW3))
NO powergaming (taking control of other nations, specifying enemy casualties by number fall under this)
Put OOC in double parentheses, like this: ((I so totally won that battle despite having only five ships!))
Also, the stranger and more interesting your species is, the better! 

My app (I made it in full format to give new players an idea of how to do it):
Name of nation: Earth Alliance
Species: Human, normally peaceful, but when attacked they show their nasty side, they can be very ruthless if provoked. Especially if the enemy started the war over religion, in which case the enemy would be lucky if a single member of their species survived.
Description of government: The EA is a democracy, they count every citizen's vote and use them alone. Majority always wins. The economy can best be described as pseudo-socialist.
Description of military: The EA ground and air forces are huge, with trillions of soldiers and vehicles in them due to the extreme strength of the Draconian equivalents. Their space forces are one of the largest in known space, also due to the war. Unlike the ground forces, which are now occupied with absolutely nothing, their space forces are constantly exploring, looking for new species to ally with.
History: After the 3rd World war in 2031, the remaining nations of the earth bound together to form the EA (earth alliance). In 2057, at a secret EA facility in Antarctica, the EASS Galileo was launched. The first ship to use the new negative energy warp drive, the Galileo was able to reach star systems up to 200 light-years away from earth within a few short years. This ushered in a new era of space travel, the EA began producing large numbers of starships and by 2123 they controlled every star system withing 200 light-years of earth. The EA had debated moving out further, but every time someone put the notion forward it was rejected, as most of the citizens were afraid of contact with hostile aliens. Finally, in 2133, they were able to get the idea through the paranoia of the citizens, the vote was on the side of expansion, with just enough people voting for it for it to pass. The EA began construction of a faster FTL and by 2137 they were able to reach out further and faster. The EAS Hawking was launched with this new FTL. During the Draconian War, the EA was a major player. They are credited with getting the nations of the Milky Way to ally and build up their military through multiple unorthodox ways, one of which was acting threatening so that the other nations would prepare for war. As they despised the Draconians the most (before the attack on the Aetherii), they now have an insanely large military. However, during the war Earth was destroyed by the Draconians. While this had little actual impact due to most of it's surface already being scorched, it was a great blow to the morale of the EA.
