First developed by Frymonmon, presented here by Outcast

Hello and welcome to World in Revolution; 1861. The date is April 15th, 1861, and the Confederate States of America has just fired the first shots of the US Civil War. You, the player, must now take the reigns of a nation and lead it through this turbulent and troubling time. Although the US Civil War will be a big part of the early stages, it is not the only focus of the game, and any nation is up for grabs.

Procedures
The procedures for this game will be fairly simple. You send orders to me, Outcast, or another GM should this game get too large for one person to handle (as has happened in the past). Orders will be explained in more depth in the OOC. The orders will then be rolled and presented by me (or another GM) in an update. Each round of orders will last one year, with the exception of the first round which begins in April and ends in December. There will also be war updates, which occur (obviously) during a war, as well as mini-updates which can happen at any time.

Statistics, orders, rules, and other important aspects will be explained in the OOC.

Available Nations

Not all need to be filled. If you want a nation that is not on the list, ask. To apply, post a list of three nations. If you decide to be an idiot and pick Azerbaijan or Bhutan or other completely irrelevant nations, I will automatically minus 1 from all your rolls.

How are you going to handle german reunification?

Prussia
Sweden
Switzerland

Those are my nations, that I want to be.
Brazil
Japan/Ottoman Empire
China/Mexico

So Boerd said How are you going to handle german reunification?

I've got a number of options. It is unlikely that all nations will be filled, so it is very possible that I can ignore Hanover and Bavaria and give them all to the Prussian player, or I can see if I can't convince some players to swap to a different nation if someone drops out, or I can even ignore it completely and keep a divided Germany.

Anyway, I'll probably keep this up for a couple of days before posting the OOC and continuing recruitment there.

Ottoman Empire
Persia
Russia

I'll toss my hat into the ring.

USA
CSA
UK

Seeking to come back into the Guild after a long hiatus.

CSA
France
Japan

Also, Outcast, I like your rules for NRPs. I wish everyone would follow them and I know I try to.

EDIT: If I take the CSA and the US annexes me, do I get to pick another open nation should I want to continue?

AegonVI said If I take the CSA and the US annexes me, do I get to pick another open nation should I want to continue?

Yes.

Outcast said
Yes.

Awesome. But in truth I've always been slightly confused by WiR...

EDIT: And any reason we're going with April of that year? I'd love if it was March;)

This is only the Intcheck, so it doesn't go into as much detail of the procedure as the OOC will. Don't worry, it's a simple process once you get the hang of it. And I chose April as it meant the whole Fort Sumter situation had already occured, so the Civil War couldn't be avoided.

Oh, okay. Gotcha.

Italy
Russia
Sweden

Austria
Bavaria
UK

Japan
China
Ottoman Empire

Nice selection of countries we're getting lined up. Excited to see how Germany and Japan develop...

I may have to do research into both, but will be fun

Outcast, is this fictional from this point of time has in we can dictate history or are they guidelines?

Never done a nation RP before. So if y'all aren't opposed to a newbie in this realm of RP; I'll offer interest. Three nations in order of preference:

UK
CSA
France

OOC is up. Recruiting here is closed, recruitment in the OOC is open.

@Sovi3t - mixture of both. Mostly fictional, but I don't want people going overboard, and there may be the occasional mini-update that features OTL events.

@Pasta - newbies are fine. It's an easy concept once you have the hang of it, and I'm always here to help.

Nevermind.
