In a world on the Precipice of War, a nation is divided. The good ol' US of A, communist for some fuckin' reason, takes on the superpower of Spain as the country fractures, creating new super powers out of the states of Florida and the region of New England. In this bizarre world, Canada ain't apologetic, and British Columbia, now its own nation, joins the fray with its own Pacific and Atlantic naval fleets.

Precipice of War Classic hits your local bookstores this summer.

Also: there's jets somehow.

And Florida mines their steel straight out of the ground.

Those Everglades are a natural blast furnace, I tell ya.

I wonder: can we get away with re-releasing Precipice Classic in the same vein as Pepsi/Coke classic?

I pray you do not, judging from what I've seen

China sends all the armies to Africa. Aboard their navy they sail from Shanghai and Hong Kong around the coast of Indo China. They are headed towards India.

Ethiopia prepares for war by sending special ops into South Africa and conquering all of the nations there. They begin building Savannah-based aircraft carriers to roll across the Serengeti and launch Zulu warriors in jet planes. Yaqob sits in his office and decides to personally call all the world leaders to invite them to a conference so they can all abruptly chicken out of their conflicts together.

China hurriedly goes to Africa conference, sending Mei Hsiu Mei to it. She arrives tripping acid and not knowing what's going on. She drops LSD into all the leader's cups.

We can return to Sporum to lord over the wastelanders that inhabit it.

For a second I wondered if I was reading Sporum-era posts.

I'm trying to get back into posting semi-regularly, so I decided to spruce up the year-old Georgia canon (I'll be editing wiki pages accordingly). My old posts, I've decided, are not canon anymore but I'll be re-writing from my most recent post ( because Evan frequently mentioned the events going on in it) and going on from there. I've more-or-less decided where I'm going with the Guards now and maybe that'll help me post moar. Anyway, here is the updated Georgia canon:

---

Faction: Georgian Guard

Leader: Davit Patarava

History:
The First Georgian Republic was founded in 1956, after peaceful yet lengthy talks with the Russian Empire led to their independence. Despite the early days being dominated by policies that kept their former masters happy, The First Georgian Republic had asserted it's own sovereignty by 1965, when it handed the Armenian-majority region of Javetskh to its neighbours. Armenian and Georgian relations were warm throughout the 60's, as both nations worked towards their surprisingly mutual interests. Georgia, at the time, was a relatively poor country with a weak military and an even weaker government yet she plodded through the 60's without any major instability.

The Ottoman invasion in the early 70's marked the end of an era for the people of Georgia as they were subjected to stern Turkish occupation for six miserable years. The Georgian and Armenian militaries were smashed by a surprisingly strong Turkish force and calls for help from Mother Russia went unanswered. Almost immediately after the country was swallowed into the empire, the remnants of the Georgian military formed a resistance to Turkish rule and began a campaign against the occupation of their land. The Georgian Resistance allied itself with several other organisations working within the old Ottoman Empire, including the ASF, Abkhazian separatists and even the Russian Mafia. The Georgian Resistance, assisted heavily by Abkhazian separatists, expelled the Ottomans from Georgia just weeks after the Armenians did in 1976. The Georgian Resistance founded the Second Republic of Georgia in 1976 and served as the Interim Government of Georgia. However, the Interim Government was dominated by military types with no experience in politics or how to correctly run a country. Despite high hopes, the Second Republic of Georgia lasted only fourteen months before disintegrating and leading Georgia into the period of anarchy that it is infamous for. Disagreements with their former Abkhazian allies, an incredibly unorganised government and economic isolation were the main factors that led to the the downfall of the Second Republic and the deaths of the war heroes that led it.

The lack of any central government turned Georgia into a playground for several factions and ideologies. While the world watched the final struggles of the Sick Man of Europe with mixed feelings, Georgia collapsed in on itself. Groups and individuals of all shades and motives now dominate the political field, each claiming to be the true descendant of the former Second Georgian Republic and each fighting tooth-and-nail for control. The Georgian people, no longer feeling safe in their homeland, have flocked across the borders to Armenia and Persia in their hundreds of thousands, forming large diaspora communities across the Near East.

The Georgian Guard was formed in 1978 in the Ottoman client state of the Republic of Adjara, which encompasses the south-east region surrounding the city of Batumi. It's founders, a group of disgruntled war veterans led by Davit Patarava, originally created the group in the hopes of protecting the former citizens of Georgia from the increasingly-oppressive regime in Adjara. This ideal evolved as the militia ballooned in size and the leadership are now toying with the idea of open rebellion against the Turkish-backed regime. The Georgian Guard, which originally only patrolled Batumi neighbourhoods, are now the largest armed paramilitary in Adjara and this title has caught the attention of several Georgian groups with similar views.

The Georgian Republican Brotherhood, operating from Tblisi with the remnants of the espionage unit of former governments, have become particularly close with the Guard and are openly encouraging rebellion against the Turkish-backed Adjaran President, Polat. Another group with ties to the Guard are the Georgian Peoples Liberation Front, a Marxist group who have infiltrated trade unions across Georgia and also encourage open rebellion.

Despite careful reservations from Patarava on the topic of open rebellion, the idea is becoming increasingly popular in the Georgian Guard as inflation, food shortages and poverty grows in Batumi. While total war rages on in Africa between superpowers, an entirely different conflict seems to be brewing in the infamous failed state of Georgia...

Good to see the revamp. Now, get postin'.

@Dinh AaronMk, I got your message from the topic you posted on the topic about military roleplays.

This looks interesting as I am in a few nation roleplays. Is France open?

Yes it is. Quite open, really.

We've had France's before, but they never lasted long and never had a long term consequences. The only requirements for a France is this:

Invaded by the German Empire during the Great War, it was one of the nations most affected. It has since recovered but traces of the Great War's effects still linger. Nearly all of it colonies were lost - some through revolts, others more peacefully - as a result of the war. Unable to manage its Algerian territories, and hoping to help its economy recover, Algeria was sold to the Spanish in the early 1970s.

<Snipped quote by Plot Summary for France>

Alright, a weaken France that's still face the consequences for the Great War. That does sound interesting, but I do want to know a couple things:

1) How bad is France's economy after the Great War?
2) Are the people still upset about the loss of the Great War and piss off at the government for the loss?
3) Is France and Germany's relationship good or bad?
4) Is there anything else that I should need to know while making the sheet?

To expand on what @Vilageidiotx wrote some other further information about RP France:

Through the seventies the nation was presided over by a self-insert President titled "Monsieur Greene". President Greene largely engaged in large-scale infrastructural programs of motherland France and neglected its colonies. So much so as part of its abilities to pay for this they sold Algeria to the Turks or something, who then sold half of it to Spain. France's negligence also lead to the ultimate usurpation of French colonial government in Indochina by Chinese-sponsored revolutionaries in Laos and Vietnam, Cambodia was jockeyed out by convincing the monarchy to denounce Europe.

France was also a member of the very short-lived Central Eurasian League which sought to balance power against the Russians by recruiting the Germans and I think Spain into a international league of nations ran by the Ottoman Turks. This however fell apart when Greene decided to have France invaded for revenge of not getting Alascea-Lorraine back in the Great War. They however failed this mission and withdrew from Germany when their goals were not met.

An indirect effect of this war in the broader Francosphere could be interpreted as the loss of French Guyana to Brazil and many of their other over-seas colonies to some extent. Madagascar is still a French African colony, I'd hazard to say the only European colony not Spanish left in Africa. And they still got their Pacific islands but in the one time I've written anything within them they were merely French in name only and acted on some level of autonomy.

The French are also allied with Spain who is fighting the perceived socialist government of Yaqob, Emperor of Ethiopia or the Pan-African Empire.

Some parts of the above are certainly canon. The second German (or Prussian)-Franco war being one, the short-lived CEL alliance that war ended, and the loss of French Guyana and Indochina. And I think they're still aligned with Spain.

Woah woah woah woah. Most of that is non canon. I wouldn't even recommend referencing ninety percent of that mess. As far as I am concerned, what is in the plot summaries is the entirety of what is required canon.

To answer the first three questions: We don't quite know. We've kept the RP compartmentalized to make sure it is accessible despite its long life. What I can tell you is that the war was much more devastating than anything Europe has likely ever seen in the real world, to the point I would suspect the damaged surpassed that of the Second World War. Realistically... yeh, France should have went through some temporary collapse, and we know that it would have been weakened enough to have both lost its colonies and taken a relatively isolationist stance since... it hasn't played a major part in the RP's history.

What you do need to know is the condition of your neighbors. The important nations surrounding France are booked. We have an Italy in @Wilted Rose, a Britain in @Shyri, a Germany in @Pepperm1nts. Now, those three don't post often, but your southern neighbor Spain, @gorgenmast, is the leading European superpower.
