Okay, submission are closed.

I didn't expect quite this much interest in the game, which has been both pleasantly surprising and also forced me to make the difficult choice of pairing down to a manageable crew. There were a lot of really great submissions, and even if you didn't get picked I'll be keeping those who have applied in mind if any of the chosen players have to drop for some reason.

I'll give everyone a day to report in before I kick us off with an IC post. 

Thanks!

[b]Answers to setting questions:[/b]

[*] Technology is near-future for the most part. Basically what we have today but just a bit better. Electronics are smaller and faster, smartphones can fold, public transit is improved and a workable solution for most people. 
[*] Global communication is still a thing but all connection is done via satellite. Due to no ongoing maintenance and interference from the Nox that blankets the earth said satellite communication can get pretty dodgy sometimes. Communication is thus much easier within a single Sanctum City, and gets slower/more expensive from one city to another.
[*] Global population is less than a billion, around 3-4 hundred million sounds like a good number. I'm going to take the easy way out and not give a specific year, but somewhere between 2050-2100.
[*] I'll have to add it to the map, but the Imperator sits at the city of Nova Roma near the Black Sea.
[*] Notably Nova Lux and the largest military academy in the Imperium are both located in Palmyra. Though this is outside Nova Roma and technically the Imperium's center of power, House Mars control of the city is nominal at best.
