The world is falling apart. It has been for a while. Now, you have been put in place of a lesser power. You now have the opportunity to make conquest upon the world, be it by war, deceit, economy, or blind faith. Go forth, and conquest.



Players will select one of the lesser powers of the world, two of which will be off-limits, "bosses", for lack of a better word. Players will send, every 24-hours, a PM detailing what their nation will do; This can be anything from looking for oil, increasing arms production, to banning alcohol and changing the national anthem. The moves will be posted as well as their results on the nation and world, unless, in the strict strict sense, they are private. News will also be posted regularly.

SAMPLE:

Player A: Mexico

1. I'd would delight in increasing taxes for the richer
2. I'd would delight in expanding agricultural sectors
3. I'd would delight in increasing funds towards military research in lazorz
4. I'd would delight in invading El Salvador with paratroopers
5. I'd would delight in diplomacy with Honduras

Etc.




The factors of five will be the players "Stats"

Always.

All players have been accepted, I will put up a map tonight and we may begin sending turns.

Turn format:

Actions;

Six actions to be performed by the government. An action consists of a federal act, be it declaring war, giving grants to businesses and agriculture, propaganda, new laws, changing the nation's name and anthem, diplomacy with an NPC nation, giving away technology, and whatever else a government could do. An action cannot be performed be or through the people, such as making the people exercise more, or having them rebel.

Completed Constructs and Research:

Completed Constructs and Research will be placed here. Players will be notified of advancements in research and completion of constructs.
(See below)

Current Constructs and Research:

A construct is any large scale renovation, construction, or production. Things such as the construction of cities, large farms, provision of power to rural areas, and fleets are constructs. Time for completion varies from different projects, and multiple and simultaneous projects will slow progress.

Research is self explanatory. Any attempt to advance technology, domestic, military, or otherwise, is a part of research. Research projects are very slow and case sensitive. A research project based on plausible and next-generation ideas will be achieved quicker, such as bio-fuels, than distant ideas, such as combat robots and WEAPONIZED SATELLITES. Researchers can commute with other nations to quicken.
RESEARCH AVAILABLE AT ONE TIME IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE NUMBER OF POINTS IN THE TECHNOLOGY SLOT.

Also, Diplomacy between players must be done personally, while NPCs will respond based on current and past relations.

I claim France.

Aye.

Is this now the OOC thread?

Yep.

Excellent.

Excellent

Shouldn't economy have a direct impact on all other stats? I noticed in the last thread that economy was rarely mentioned.

Will be eagerly awating the start of this.

Devastator wrote:I thought it starts after Kasrkai posts the new map?

Yes, that was my impresion also

He said we could send in our turns now.

Citation needed.

Ah my bad, thanks for the clarification.

PM sent.

Will the military still be divided in to land, air and sea? If so, there should also be a missile category.

A few notes about France:

It has the fourth largest economy in the world, due to being the world leader in nuclear power, second largest in agriculture, fourth largest in firearms and the world's top tourist destination. It also has one of the largest and most modern navies in the world, containing an aircraft carrier, 32 frigates, 10 nuclear submarines and numerous support craft, and the third highest military spending per year in the world. Just something to take in to account.

But you don't have Mounties. Therefore Canada is better then France.

Sent, i really am evil.

I have the largest population/economy in EU and France is 5th in Wold wide economy, not 4th who happens to be me.

Pm sent.
