God, Gatling, and Glory [Steampunk/Imperialism NRP]

I'm in! My claim: Conceptualizing a nation heavy in debt (anyone want to be my lender?) to keep pace with modern industrialization.

The Descent of Man

Interested. So remnants of former governments are OK? Like a re-formed USA or something?

SCI-FI -or- MODERN ERA

Like Dinh said, it's not "Soviet Russia". We are creating our own nations/countries from what we know. I want to play as a Communist State. So, designing a communist state can count as original idea. My nation sheet is still WIP.

@hellrazor

WIP is fine. I totally understand if you want to play as a communist state in the RP just take into consideration that the modern form of communism in practice is pretty different from Lenin or chairman Maos idea of it. Also consider changing the name from USSR to something invented. When I see USSR at the top of your page I think USSR-simply because that culture had such an incredible impact on the world. Not to mention your rulers name is almost exactly the same as Russia's current president. If your hell bent (see what I did there?) on using the Russian/slavic naming convention for your country here is a name generator I recommend: http://fantasynamegenerators.com/russian_names.php#.VNQyp-bF-So @Darcs The spice isles are really shaping up. What is the official name of the Buyan Lucia religion? Or do I just call it Buyan Lucia?

Hmm....This is a fictional roleplay. Please create original countries to play as.

@Rhymer

Arguably USSR doesn't necessarily have to refer to Russia because as far as its meaning goes it makes no mention of Russia. "Soviet" comes into Russian political terminology to often prefer to districts, sort of like state or provinces. It's like referring to the United State of America as the United States, it's actually not at all specific to a nation since it's describing more of a political state than a national identity. These terms only get that way when brought into the context of a world, in particular our own; where they have more meaning. So the only cause of complaint may be the usage of Marxist-Leninist since arguably those are "our world" terms and not fantasy world terminology. One might also argue on this vein "Spice Islands" is just as realistic as there are regions of our world that are - or were - referred to as the Spice Islands, predominately Indonesia and that archipelago there was known as the Spice Islands for quite some time.

Laying Foundations - Ancient Nation - Futuristic Nation RP

Wait..what? Is it ancient world or futuristic nation? Or civilization is restarting after an apocalypse?

Wip...

The League of Nations

Flag

Location

The League of Nations has embassies in Atlan,Sorco and Ikora. The League is currently debating and voting on where to construct the new International Headquarters.

Government

The League of Nations is formed by representatives of charter-signing member countries. The League elects it's own President who presides over the council. In addition, the League is free to form committees and enact policy, allocate moneys and provide international assistance. Mostly, the government acts as a mediator between countries.

Economy

The League of Nations rely on private funding, charter-member taxes and other sources of international financial aid to carry out it's policies. Most countries are required to pay for policy they wish to enact.

Military

The League has only a token force of actual military made up of volunteer units from charter-member nations. Most of the military force work as security for VIPS

Foreign Policy

The League of Nations has an official policy of peace,economic prosperity and financial aid and education to developing nations.

SCI-FI -or- MODERN ERA

Ok so people are leaning towards a Modern Era RP. Here we go: Use the template to get started on your country. If you don't want to fill out a section right away thats fine. Add any other info you need to. Just keep it concise. I don't have time to read your nations 1000 year history that isn't really relative to the RP.

Nation Template

nation name

Nation Location (see below)

Geography

Include any info that is important to natural resources, any naturally occurring disaster (hurricanes,typhoon etc) and any major landmarks(worlds tallest mountain, deepest lake etc)

Government

Describe your government as briefly as possible. Democracy? Who's President? Constitutional Monarchy? Who's king? etc. Then tell me who really runs things. Maybe your president is the pawn of corporate interests. Maybe your monarch is a puppet for another government entirely. Maybe everything is exactly as it appears. It's up to you

Economy

Describe how STRONG your economy is. What makes the most money? Think manufacturing, natural resources, if you have a large country you probably have more than one source. Also name at least one major company based in your nation.

Military

Describe the composition of your military. Do you have an air force/navy/army/special forces etc. Name any major generals. Any special weapons? Any weapons other nations are wary of? (nukes,gas etc) Without going into specifics tell me how strong your military is.

Culture and Society

What sorts of people inhabit your country? What do they hold in highest regard? Education? Technology? Beer? Are any religions prevalent that might influence national policy?

Foreign Policy

What is your nations stance on foreign matters? Interventionist? Isolationist? Give an example in recent history (aiding another nation in war, economic sanctions or whatever) Also include any allies or enemies.

Add any other sub-categories you need to describe your nation with. Maybe Domestic Policy?

Without code: Nation Name Location Geography Government Economy Military Culture and Society Foreign Policy

Nations will be located in one of 3 geographical clusters akin to continents. Ikora, Atlan and Sorco. These are important because they describe your spheres of influence and how quickly your interactions with the other nations happen.

Map Thus Far

Interesting..Would you guys say A is better because the Nations RP is saturated with Sci-Fi games already?
