Introduction

This an alternate history roleplay, in which players imagine all types of historic nations in the technological setting of the 1920s. There are, however, a few limitations on which nations may be re-imagined.

Each week is an in-character year. Depending on your power level, you will be expected to write more or less at different intervals.
HOW IT WORKS

You give me a nation and a historic head of state of said nation/province (as applicable) from any point in time after 1492. The nation should be the nation you wish to play, and the head of state gives me an idea of what regime you would most enjoy playing thematically. The name of your head of state will be determined after this process. The head of state you name will also determine the borders used in determining your approximate power on the power scale. You must also provide at least one article on your nation. This article must be from a scholarly source (.edu, .gov, a few trustworthy .coms, and for god's sake no wikipedia).
I will then respond with what level your nation is on the power gradient, taking into account historical factors, whatever GDP figures may be available, and then make an admittedly utterly arbitrary estimate of your power. You may contest and give me articles, and maybe I will change my mind.



After that is complete, and you confirm you still would like to play that nation, I will give you some nation stats and we will go from there. Right now that is very much up in the air. The central point is to gauge interest right now.

Interesting choice. What type of France, per chance? Did Napoleon succeed? Is he republic alive and well? Are the Bourbons in power?

Stats will be generated ASAP.
Although, I should say, you would be somewhere between World Influence and Superpower.

It is certainly a world power. It borders on Superpower, most certainly. I am warning you because it will require a very large amount of commitment and effort.

I'm interested. I would like to play as Puritan United Kingdom known as the Commonwealth of England and Scotland, with the historic leader being a Richard Cromwell that was never overthrown. Is that alright?

Wonderful. Sorry I haven't posted in a small while. What colonial holdings, though? That would be important.

This is British territory, assuming the French took India, Burma, and Canada.

I've been looking at this for a while now and I'd actually like to try this RP if it's still possible :)

The Nation I was thinking about taking is one which has had a turbulent past, a nation which has played a vital role in the history of Central Europe with a fine martial tradition and has made great scientific advances. Its eagle a sign of strength to its people.



Anyway, you think that would be possible? :)
