Hey! I am also interested. I want to play as an independent East Germany. Although I dunno how a socialist state would have reasonably been raised there. Maybe the Spartacist uprising succeeded. But instead of overthrowing the federal government (or, what at the time was the Empire - I think?): the East seceded along with (half) Berlin. Or maybe it was established like in our timeline. After WW2 as the successor to the Soviet occupation government. Dunno which would make more sense. I guess that depends on if the Soviet Union existed or became a big player.

Well thanks for bringing this up, because at least this means it's something I can clarify now.

The setting of the RP was intended to take place in a completely original world, not our own world. The world map is still a work-in-progress, as well, I wanted to make sure this fundamental idea had enough interest to warrant making a full world map from scratch. 

The fundamental idea you had - I.E. A former satellite state which broke free from its overlord - is still very much possible. I intentionally left a lot of what i've dubbed "The Old World" a fairly blank slate, since in the 30 year period between The Visitation and the RP start (1961-1991) is plenty of time for some old states to have completely collapsed and new ones to come in their place. It might even be more interesting to RP as a fairly young state that only formed in the wake of the political chaos that was The Visitation. 

Hope this explains everything!
