[center][h1]The World Undone[/h1] (1905--)[/center] [hider=Orders] - Posting IC will be immensely beneficial to you as a player. It is, however, not necessary. This is designed so that you can still send in your orders if you are too busy to post, but posting IC will provide a tangible bonus to your DRM (Die Roll Modifier). - Each [b]Turn[/b] represents one In-Game Month. The player will submit [b]3 Orders[/b]. - Each order is then subject to a 1d6 roll. A 6 means a perfect execution and a 1 means a horrible failure. Posting IC gives you a +2 die roll to a single order, or a +1 die roll to all three. [Specified at the end of your IC post.]. This means that more active players are rewarded. - [b]Orders[/b]: * [b][color=yellow]Economic[/color][/b]: An order designed to benefit the nation economically. * [b][color=red]Military[/color][/b]: An order designed to affect your military. * [b][color=green]Diplomacy[/color][/b]: An order designed to conduct diplomacy. * [b][color=blue]Imperialism[/color][/b]: Exploring and developing new lands. * [b][color=gold]Conference[/color][/b]: Used to call a [i]Political[/i] or [i]Military[/i] Conference.

[b][u]Julo-Vigentan War[/u][/b] In the City of Julia, Homeguard Echelon Killigan begins the deployment of defensive fortifications on the stone walls, utilizing sandbags and haphazard construction of pillboxes. Field artillery guns for reasons unknown are deployed outside the city walls while the infantry are deployed behind. Having never left the city, the Julian sentries see very little. One Corporal is reprimanded for using a traveling merchant's donkey for target practice. The first Julian refugees from Zilorno emerge from Methyrnia--750 women and children--who request entry in the Capitol.[/indent] [b]April 6th[/b] [indent]The Prats Administration in the [b][color=7ea7d8]Republic of Ustrelia[/color][/b] signs into law the [u][b]Antiquities Act of 1905[/b][/u] giving the President of Ustrela the authority to, by presidential proclamation, create national monuments from federal lands to protect significant natural, cultural, or scientific features.

All contestants are welcome, so long as they are Illesian, live permanently in Illesia, and are interested in establishing an Illesian Automobile Company that is not owned by the government. The contest was simple. One Year from the start of the contest, which began on April 8th, 1905, contestants will present a working prototype of their self-designed automobile and present them at the Palace of the Monarch in Regoth for inspection by the Committee on Innovation. The winner will be chosen based on who could produce the most cost effective and reliable functioning vehicle, ideally even cheaper to produce than all existing models at the end of the contest. The winner of the contest, if there was one, would receive $10,000,000 as seed money to start their own Illesian Automobile Company, of their own name, design, staff, and so on, free from government intrusion. [b][u]Julo-Vigentan War[/u][/b] Newspaper articles in the [b][color=gray]Holy Empire[/color][/b] run headlines that say "JULIA'S FIGHT HAS GONE OUT," accusing the nation of cowardice.

"The Methyrnian Country is the True Enemy" a recent report shows, Vigentan soldiers being injured by falling and hurting themselves. No Julian soldiers are met and it appears all of Methyrnia will fall--by some strange measure of Grace, even in the face of Vigantan military incompetence--by the allotted end of the operation date.[/indent]
