"Although the shooting war is over, we are in the midst of a cold war which is getting warmer." - Bernard Baruch

Iron Curtain


The Second World War has been over for twenty years, and the world has changed rapidly since the days of the Axis and the Allies. Shortly after the downfall of the Nazi Reich and the Allies began to divide the spoils, a chill went through the once united front against fascism. In the east, the victorious Soviets quickly began to establish new socialist governments in place of the former pre-war regimes across eastern Europe and in eastern Germany, declaring the new puppet state the legitimate government of all Germans. In the west the United States, France, and the United Kingdom restored liberal democracy in place of the totalitarian regimes that came before, with the images of the Fuhrer and Duce being nothing more than relics of a dark time. Now a great wall divides the democratic west from the communist east and the nations of the world are beginning to divide themselves along the same lines. It is a time of revolution, change, and war. The question is, which side of the wall are you on?





Welcome to the Iron Curtain! Iron Curtain will be a Cold War NRP starting in the turbulent year of 1965. The United States has intervened in Vietnam after the death of Kennedy, the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China have become political rivals and fight for dominance over the communist world, and independence struggles continue on in Africa. The world is a very different place, and the threat of nuclear annihilation looms darkly over everyone. In this roleplay you will be taking the role as a historical world leader of any nation of your choosing, so long as the nation existed in 1965 of course. Will you take up the role as North Vietnam and fight off the western imperialists, or perhaps India and fight for your claim to Kashmir? The choices are all up to you. However, go too far and you may quickly become a threat to an already unstable world order.

Rules for the RP will be fairly simple; standard stuff for historical RPs.

  • Standard NRP rules, no godmodding, powergaming, etc.
  • Keep the OOC clean, no racial slurs, no sexist language, etc. Treat everybody like you'd wanna be treated.
  • I, as GM, have final say and my word is law. If I don't like how you're acting I have every right to show you the door.
  • This is a more Advanced RP, so longer posts are a plus. If a player doesn't post for more than 5 days and doesn't give a reason they will be liable to be kicked.
  • This is also a historical and realistic RP. So no Fourth Reichs, no reviving Stalin, and no custom nations. You can make choices different from reality but only after the RP has started, but up until 1965 history has played out just as it did in our own timeline.
  • In terms of formatting, I'll allow anything. If you wish to write from perspectives of individuals within your nation's government, military, or just society that is fine. In addition if you'd like to write from the 'AAR perspective' that is allowed too. Full writer freedom, just keep it eligible.
  • Lastly, enjoy yourself!


I'll add on Nation sheets, etc once we have an actual OOC up and running. But until then, any interested parties?
