[Lord Octagon]

Welcome to the NationRP introduction thread. Dig and I have been developing a brand new NationRP to be roleplayed on the forums. In this thread we will explain the different aspects of the roleplay and how it will work. This will be drastically different than the previous RP, new mechanics, balanced roleplay and we are certain that you will have great fun if you join in.

Country profiles and the roleplay itself will be in separate threads.

Firstly, the roleplay will be split into several Eras.

Eras

Era I

Birth of National Identity (1910 - 1920)

Nationalist revolutions sweep across Europe, with calls for representation, freedom of press and abandonment of multicultural empires echo through the streets from Paris to Vienna. With the Russian Revolution in sight, Communist ideology begins to grow in popularity. Conservative ideologies split between independence and autonomy. The overarching theme is emergence of national identity across the world and the march towards liberalism.

Era II

Conflict of Values (1920 - 1933)

After a crushing defeat, the nations that participated in the many warring periods of the early 1900s now dissipate into a class divide between nationalists, democratic reformers and communists. During this period all nations of the world attempt to stabilize themselves in these
radical and unpredictable times.

Era III

Fanaticism (1933 - 1947)

With the veil of false united centrism broken in the states of Europe and Asia, the curtains open for a final bloody conflict to decide who shall hold the reins of the Global Order to come. This war will not only decide the fate of the countries embroiled in it but also by consequence every nation in the world. 

Millions of men either being drafted or joining by self-determination are becoming apart of the fighting forces on each side. Not only that but now in order to support the war effort; millions of women are suddenly taking up work in factories leading to the liberalisation of society and women, for the first time, entered the public life en masse.

Era IV

Dualism (1947 - 1991)

After the end of the greatest conflict known to man. The world stage was set with a different attitude and the gods and kings of old have now passed on the torch to new combatants. Two or three new major global powers now dominate the playing field and take control of the machine that is the New World Order.

The world has been plunged into constant threat of nuclear devastation. The advent of the Cold War brings a major spike in political difficulty, as the demand for public services effectively doubles in comparison to the previous era, new research has been uncovered and many policies of the previous era become ineffective. The choice is now between major cost cutting or tax reforms to maintain liquidity.

Era V

Fragmentation of Values (1991 - 2040)

The collapse of the dual world order and move towards multilateralism are accompanied by groundbreaking advances in technology and social changes that upend the traditional values cherished by many. The divide between the young, the old, the haves and have nots, all come to a head in the modern age. Public services at at the most demanding in this era, the ways to meet these demands have increased yet at additional costs. The age to shape the future has arrived.

Mechanics removed, we're making this much more simpler.

All that might seem complicated, but do not fret, the roleplay will be fairly straightforward on your end. Whilst the formulae may seem overwhelming, you do not need to worry about those - for example, raising taxes will be as simple as stating that you wish to raise the taxes.

Whilst we work on a few finishing touches, we would like to ask for an interest check. Please post below if you are interested in participating in such an RP, and if you have any questions, please direct them to either myself or to Dig.

I had a lot of things to do these past few weeks. The country profile thread will be released very soon - so start thinking about the type of country you're going to run! 

God this is so much to read. Iam heavily interested in this.

Please add fascism as a ideology!

I believe fascism is covered under "Totalitarian State" but you are free to refer to your system of government as fascism.

The effort that has been put into this is truly mesmerising. I would gladly be part of this! Great job on the thread!
