Is this set in the "real" world, or one that is total fantasy, but mirrors ours?
The latter. There will be a world map after the player nations' dossiers have been created.

BLOOD & IRON
WAR!
January 2nd, 1916 the world was beset by the grievous reality that is war. With an intricate web of alliances in place to force every Great Powers hand, there are no nations uninvolved--or at least, unaffected. With the formal declarations rolling in and nations mobilizing millions of men, the war ahead looks to be all encompassing. A true World War.
Blood & Iron is a geopolitical military, political and economic RP where you as a single player embodies the identity of a single nation and leads it through The War, and into the world after. Whether your nation succeeds or not is up to you.
MECHANICS
I. A Living Nation
While previous iterations have utilized point-based systems, this system is instead a Play the Hand You're Dealt type of system. You are in charge of the cultural identity of your nation, it's name and leaders and the rest is up to chance. The important factors will be rolled and you'll be given a Nation Dossier that you will carry with you.

-- Industry: How many factories you have. (Relevance: Determines how well equipped your armies will be.)
-- Stability: How stable your nation is. (Relevance: How fast your nation will surrender during war.)
-- Colonies: How many colonies your nation has. (Relevance): Colonies grant you resources.)

TIMELINE
<Snipped quote by Theodorable>
Ouch, why did you have to reboot back to factory settings?
I had a corrupted driver on my new video card, and after finagling with tech support, they agreed to reimburse me for the entire card if the only option was to re-install, which I just chose right off the bat because besides a few games and maps I've nothing important on this computer.
I can either make a new map for THIS game or we can do a new game. Up to you, gents.
However, because I had to restore my computer, I've had to redownload my mapping program and do not have the original map. :(
What else are we waiting on? We could have started IC a long time ago.

Forum: Nation Interest Checks
Whoever is the Ardain player, would you like to collaborate on some history with me (Empire of Mille-Sessau)?
I'm here I'm here! I had to reboot my computer, back to factory settings. Very unfortunate.
I'm back. This thing isn't dying out.

"Duchy of Navoy"
You literally took the Duchy of Savoy and changed one letter.
One letter similarities are a statistically inevitability. I'm not sure why you're telling me this though as I can't see textual intonation of humor or anger.
Would the Duchy of Navoie be more satisfactory/less humorous?
No. Monday/Tuesday are just my toughest work days. I'll be around tomorrow.
