[center][h1]The World Undone[/h1][/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.

It passed with a 104-91 vote in the legislature. The initial rate, selected at 2% of a person's average wage was expected to bring in roughly $30,000,000 a year in extra revenue--but implemented starting August 1st, was expected to add only $13,000,000 for the remainder of the year.

The [b]Army Corps of Engineers[/b] were then assigned to dismantle five cars and work to design a military automobile of their own, the ideal goal of the design is the following: - Lightweight frame and build. - Must be able to carry 3 people. - Ability to go aprox 15 MPH on unpaved roads and 20 MPH on paved roads. - Have four wheels, an engine and frame (just like the automobiles in the west do). Their work was expected to take some time, but Taran reverse engineering was dutifully considered to be some of the best in the Known World.[/indent][b][h3]July 3rd[/h3][/b][indent] Requests to license production of new weaponry in the [b][color=blue]Kingdom of Illesia[/color][/b] were finalized with the following results: 1.
