This world is not our own, but we may be here to stay.[/center]

It's an average day in your faction's universe when there's a great flash of sizzling red on the horizon and a boom like the thunder of a thousand cannons. At the edge of a perfect 1-mile wide hexagon, the land ends. It's been replaced with a great freshwater sea. Other islands are visible in the distance. Perhaps land continues beyond your island, but it is not what you're familiar with. Now it's up to you to survive, thrive, or possibly escape in this new world.

Islands hold dark shapes, ruined cities, strangely glowing crystals, forboding castles, massive forests, secret temples, cities towering up to the clouds, creatures of myth and legend, or perhaps even other factions.

---

This NRP is multiversal faction based. That means that you can select any videogame, book, tv show, movie, other form of media, or real life, grab a mile-wide hex chunk of land (or sea, or space-station), and throw it and its inhabitants into this new world. There are other islands to explore, and other factions to meet, trade with, and possibly war with. I may, as the game continues, start teleporting in even more islands, or throwing "mega events" at you (such as a hurricane, or, oh, I don't know, rearranging the hexes).

[b]Important note: Everybody should start off at an approximately similar level of surprised and mildly screwed. So, sure, you may have star-trek technology, but you might not have power, farmland, or a large amount of people, for example. Or perhaps your magic kingdom lost its connection to the mana-field, and your chief sorcerer's are forced to research the aether fields of this strange new place. I'll mostly trust you to self-limit.[/b]

[hider=Some Random Ideas I had]
If you're lacking inspiration, here's some ideas I had. Feel free to steal, expand upon them, or get inspired from them:

The White House from [i]The West Wing[/i]
A Soviet base from [i]Red Alert 2[/i]
The city of Mogadishu from [i]Black Hawk Down[/i]
Grantville from Eric Flint's [i]1632[/i] series
Gotham City, from the Batman comics
Pawnee, Indiana, from [i]Parks and Recreation[/i][/hider]

[hider=Hex Facts]
Hexs are 1 mile (1.609km) wide at their widest point. That means that they're about 0.366 miles (~0.589km) per side, or 1/(1+sqrt(3)) miles per side. The border is a precise, clean, perfectly straight cut down to the molecule. This means that hills would end in straigth, smooth cliffs if they're on the border. Dirt would clump into a shiny substance on the border, but it would crumble back into normal dirt at a touch.[/hider]

[hider=The Map]
{I'll start filling in factions as they come along} {{Feel free to make suggestions of parcels of land to teleport in - I may or may not use them}}
