Democracy in Action: A Governmental RP

Bumping this because I forgot to mention I opened a second interest check in the NRP section: Link

Democracy in Action: A Governmental NRP

At present we have nine people who've shown interest in joining the game, whether their still around is another question, but even if the three candidates vote for themselves that leaves six voters. Right now I'm including myself among the nine, but I may only vote in the event of a tie-breaker. Go all 2000 election and have the Supreme Court decide the presidency.

I think Thorgili mentioned he wanted to post a Presidential CS as well. I'll give him until tomorrow to do that and then we'll vote. Everyone votes, this is a democratic government RP after all.

Regnum Autem Curia (Republic of Rome Roleplay)

I'll say I'm interest at the moment, but I may not be fully committed because I'm in quite a few games at the moment. I've always been a fan of the late Republic era of Rome.

The Iron Curtain: A Cold War NRP

Not in 1950.

The Iron Curtain: A Cold War NRP

Yep. Despite the story of JFK standing firm against the USSR and forcing them to back down, it was negotiating with Kruschev to take those missiles out of Turkey that stopped the missile crisis.

Mr. President,

The rumors are true. CIA agents monitoring the situation in Cuba have indeed confirmed intelligence sources' claims that a change in government is imminent in the country. President Batista and his forces are being routing by revolutionary forces led by Fidel Castro, a former law student with heavy Marxist leanings (SEE NS MEMO #5421198123677 FOR FURTHER DETAILS ON CASTRO) Castro has not tried to hide his dislike of US influence in the Caribbean, and our analyst believe that a successful coup by Castro will lead to a Communist government just ninety miles away from United States shores. As to the rumors of Moscow's involvement in the coup, there seems to be no evidence at this time that the Soviets are involved.

Per your wishes from yesterday's briefing, I spoke to Frank Wisner at the Office of Policy Coordination. He is agreeable to the idea of launching a joint covert mission into Cuba. Tentative codename OPERATION CLOSE SHAVE will be ready to present to you and the Joint Chiefs of Staff by the end of the week. CIA informants inside both the Batista government and revolution have been told to observe and report the information as it progresses. I should have more updates to share with you in the morning.

Sincerely,

RADM Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter, Director of Central Intelligence

Yeah, the relevant financial data is going to be the hardest part of this. I know for sure we'll have the GDP as a stat to use. Figure along with that we can have income, expenses, tax percentages, industrial and agricultural base, along with an import/export stat.

So, for political alignment I would say Wernher's candidate is kind of a moderate conservative with a little libertarian streak, just my take on it, where would everyone else want their political alignment's ally? Presumably a conservative president will have a conservative cabinet, and at least one legislative body will be led by the conservatives.
