[hr]
Finally, the War is over. Called by those who lived it, [i]The Most Atrocious War[/i] was the single most devastating conflict humanity has ever seen. Spanning four of the five continents and claiming the lives of nearly seven and a half million men, women and child, the war has ruined economies, nations and cultures. There are few, if any, who were not affected by it's reach. Whether directly or indirectly, the [i]Most Atrocious War[/i] has irrevocably altered human history. The armistice arrived just days ago, and now rebuilding the world is at the hands of those leaders who lead their nations to victory. The nations ascribed to the [b]Pact of Unity[/b] nearly collapsed in the Winter of 1915, but saw victory rendered on January 2nd, 1919.  

In this RP, you will represent a [b]Head of State[/b] from either a [b][color=lightblue]Pact Nation[/color][/b], a [b][color=red]Defeated Power[/color][/b] or a [b][color=gray]Neutral Nation[/color][/b]. This is not to say which way your nation will go, but rather it's fate in the [i]Most Atrocious War[/i] (1913-1919). Among the relevant game mechanics in this RP will be your nation's functional government, it's military and world economics.
