[indent]It's here. Today. Not some far off battlefield or distant plain. Nor is it a labyrinth of medieval factions or fantastical creations. It is 2018. The [b]Known World[/b], a world similar to our own but different all the same. The same amenities, luxuries and technologies we are afforded today exist just as they do in this world; but the land masses are different. The countries are of your own creation, the future, yours to build. [b]Modern Day[/b] is a fictional nation roleplay that begins on January 1st, 2018.

In Statehood, you represent a [b]Political Party[/b] within one of many nations in the Known World. It is modern day and all the amenities, luxuries and technologies that exist in our world exist here. Your limitations are simply what you can functionally accomplish in the game.

[b][u]Mechanics[/u][/b]
1. [b]Elections[/b] will occur with regular frequency. If you do not hold a seat of power in the government, you will be considered part of the Opposition. Multiple players can join the same nation vying for political control.
2. [b]Governing[/b] is an integral part of the game. Trade Agreements, alliances and even war are all utilized, though do so at your own risk.
3. [b]Policy Making[/b] is up to you as the player, feel free to enact, remove or create whatever policies you feel will benefit your nation, so long as you have the votes.
