Hey y'all, welcome to dixie land A house Divided in which the CSA goes and destroys the USA teabagging them for the rest of time, just kidding. This rp takes place at the beginning of the ACW, It will be turned based and stat based, so no lucky CSA mass conquering.
Nation Registration: OPEN/closed
Procedures
The way A House Divided will play shall be very simple. You send your orders to me, Balena_Rex, or any other Gm who takes the job if this gets to big to handle.The orders you send to me shall then be rolled and posted by me (or another GM) in an update in the IC. Each round of orders will take be one year in game. With the only exception of the first round which begins in April and ends in December. There shall also be war updates, which takes place during wars.
Orders work like this: each country gets 1 main order, an order that always works, and 3 normal orders, they have a 50/50 shot at working. The main focus will always succeed to a point, but it can only be used to improve your country, not to steal land (ie, improving infrastructure is ok, taking a colony is not). During a war, a nation also gets three war orders. War orders can only be used for things such as raising troops, launching attacks, etc.
Orders shall be due every Friday, and posted every Saturday.
Orders must be sent to a gm like this AHD, (Insert Nation), year.

Rules
1) Remain civilised at all times.
2) I am not the US Marines, and I do leave people behind. If you don't get your orders in on time, you will not be included in the update, and you will have to catch up next week.
3) Keep things realistic. I understand that it is unlikely that we will be following the real history to the point, but no Ebola Nukes
4) Don't be afraid of losing a war, just fight as hard as you can.
5) Don't rage in IC.
6) Keep war goals normal, not insane.
7) Don't start wars unnecessarily or at the drop of a hat. Try diplomacy first.
8) Secret Alliances must be sent through me.
9) No editing IC posts except to correct grammatical errors.
10) Wars can only end with a mutually agreed upon Peace Treaty. This includes if a nation is wiped out completely (see rule 5).
11) Declarations of War are final, and cannot be taken back. Only a Peace Treaty may resolve the conflict, even if no fighting occurs.
12) All Mobilization by countries must be announced 24 Hours before the official order deadlines.
13) All IC posts must include either your nation's name or flag.
14) If you are AWOL for more than three updates, you will be dropped and your nation up for grabs. You can reapply, but someone else may have taken your old nation. Warnings will be given out first.
15) I am not infallible. In fact, I fall pretty often. If you have a concern, feel free to ask, but don't get snarky with me.
16) My word is the final word.
