200 years ago the War of Gods, and it seemingly destroyed everything. It all began when the Second Ethiopian Empire and the Caliphate of Istanbul began slugging it out over control of Egypt, but it ended with the nukings of majority of the major cities of earth. Addis Ababa, Shanghai, Moscow, New York, Istanbul, London, and many more where destroyed, and humanity was driven underground, but that was in 2080, now, twenty years after humanity crawled out of its bunkers, after nations started to rise again, it seems that humanity is entering an Age of Rebirth.
It is our turn to Rise again from the ashes, it is time for the Rise after the Rebirth.

Welcome to The Rise of Man, a Fallout-Like RP without all of the fantasy elements of the actual Fallout universe. This is also the Pseudo-Sequal of Age of Rebirth, an RP I hosted half a year ago. If you need any information on it here is the link to the actual Characters Tab, but you really don't need a base knowledge of the original lore.
To move on to what this RP will be about, it will involve the Rise of Civilization after years of being underground. The War of Gods (Also known as the Final World War) devastated everything and resulted in a lot of technology being destroyed, but those 200 years underground led to different technologies being founded. Power Suits, small hand-held laser guns, and similar types of weapons. This along with the twenty years of being above ground and the rediscovery of how to create Automobiles, Zeplins, Boats, and Primitive Aircraft have led to first contact between the continents.
To move on, nations cannot be large, in fact, I'll limit them to 10 territories per nation. That may sound small, but realize that colonization will be allowed with each post, meaning that you can grow larger. I will have to limit it to grabbing two pieces of land per post if they border you, and one piece of land if they don't.

Legal Nation Name: Βασίλειον τῶν Ἱεροσολύμων (Kingdom of Jerusalem)

What Areas Do You Control (Territories): The Area around the Holy Land


Flag or Banner (National and Political):


Political Party: Ruled by a monarchy, ruled by a man who claims to be a direct descendant of Julius Caesar.

Type of Government (Self Explanatory): Absolute Monarchy

Date Out of Bunker: Entered Bunker, 2099, left bunker, 2265.

Productions (What your nation Produces):
Steal and Arms are the main productions of the Kingdom, though they have a minor farming industry.

History of the Nation (Self Explanatory):
It all began with the fall of Athens. Caliphatian bombs blotted out the sky, and after all the destruction, they nuked it for good measure, a city of 2 million decimated to a population of ten thousand. Those who survived got onto multiple arc tiered ships (Each ship can hold 2000 as a comfortable amount, and a total of up to 5000), and they sailed too Cyprus to try and pick up more people for the plan of Julius Constantinus Caesar, or as he is known to the population of the Kingdom, the Savior of the Greek People. After two years in Cyprus, officially making it 2082, they sailed to Crete, where they stopped for ten years. In Crete they heard that majority of the worlds major cities had been destroyed, including Istanbul and Addis Ababa. The thought of retaking Constantinople intrigued Julius, but he knew what he had to do for the grace of God.
With a total of 50k people he sailed to the Holy Land, eventually landing on the Gaza Strip on November 25st, 2092. The population of the Holy land was decimated after the multiple occupations by Holy League members (I am assuming that because Ethiopia was a Christian Theocracy and Istanbul was a Caliphate it was a war between holy leagues) and Gaza was depopulated to about 100 thousand, with majority of the communities devolving into Tribal like conditions ten years after majority of the worlds strongest nations where destroyed. Julius soon began going from village to village, demanding tribute and religious conversion to Orthodoxy, those who converted where spared and where forced to join Julius's band, the ones who refused where slaughtered by Julius's army. By December he had sent scout troops outside Jerusalem.
Jerusalem was preserved throughout the war because no one wanted to destroy it. This is what both sides wanted, both sides needed. The Ethiopian Christians wanted the city retaken for Christendom, and now, 12 years after the War of Gods began, Julius would conquer it again, the holy land would once again belong to the Christian people.
100,000 troops marched on Jerusalem on December 24th, 2092, beginning what would be known as the Battle of Jerusalem. Julius men charged at the 500,000 people in the city (After Depopulation and Genocide from the Caliphate) beginning the true rise of Julius's empire. Within a day the man had retaken the city, slaughtering all who opposed his rule. By the end of the battle late on December 25th, the city was down to 10,000 of the original population, all of whom converted out of fear. Within 7 years he had eventually conquered everything from the Sinai to Antioch, but this was when the radiation began to spread at a rate that no one predicted. All of the 500,000 people who lived in the Kingdom where pushed underground in all of the cities they lived in. They where still connected through phone-like devices, but they had no real way of getting to each other, which is why Julius told the people to all begin digging towards Jerusalem, no matter how long it took. He would keep this land, no matter how much radiation spread across his kingdom, he would keep this land and he would make it stable, even if he had to build a labyrinth to do
it.
Death eventually caught up with Julius, and on December 24th, 2112, he died, leaving his son Justinian to take the thrown. Justinian oversaw the finishing of the Holy labyrinth across the territory of Jerusalem, connecting all of his underground kingdom together. The rest of Justinian's reign was uneventful, and he died on September 1st, 2139. The next in line for the throne was Justinian's 16 year old son Julius the Second, who led the Empire until his death on October 15th, 2201.
The next two reigns where all uneventful other then advancement of the Labyrinth, which now became a community of sorts, with new villages and cities growing inside of it. On December 25th, 2255, Julius the 3rd took the throne at the age of 18. Under his rule he began to set up the first expeditions onto the surface world and exactly ten years after he took the throne he began to recolonize the Surface World. He found nomads that wondered from the former Caliphate lands had taken up Jerusalem with the leader of the tribe calling himself Caliph Ataturk.
In response, Julius slaughtered all 50,000 of the nomads for encroaching on holy territory. He took the crown of the so called Caliph and put it on himself, crowning himself Patriarch Julius of Jerusalem, Holy King by Grace of God of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, destroyer of Heathens. Any other tribes that encroached on his territory during the nearly 200 year time underground where either converted or slaughtered. Julius also allowed those who wanted to stay underground keep being underground because large cities of at least 100,000 people began to pop up in the labyrinth and he didn't feel like forcibly relocating them to the surface.
Currently Julius is still in rule of the Empire and he is ready to officially begin expanding it.

Main Race (What is your State Race + Racial Demographics):

Greco-Levantine, 25%
Pure Levantine, 40%
Pure Greek, 35%

Main Religion (What is your State Religion + Religious Demographics):
The state religion is Jerusalemite Orthodox Christianity, which is led by the Patriarch of Jerusalem, who also happens to be the King of Jerusalem.

@MetalLoverI was meant to ask this for a while now so I say it.
What should we assume about this apocalypse?
And how messed up is the civilization?
If this were fallout then practically all major infrastructures would be bombed and people have a hard time to know what's going on a few hundred kilometers away much less to know the state of the world.
But given the location of our nations and all that I have the impression that while we did suffer an Apocalypse they recovered relatively well. Kind of like Age of Rebirth but with more anarchy.

Which one is the image you're aiming for?

The apocalypse drove the surviving members of humanity underground and a lot of infrastructure and technology was destroyed, but the 200 years underground + the surviving technology allowed for a lot of humanity to recover, just in different ways, meaning that one nation might be a bit steampunkish in nature, and another might be a bit more focused on the technology that they recovered and advanced from the Age of Rebirth, so to put it likely, its like an Age of Rebirth with more variation in technology and a lot more anarchy.

Alright, imagine my Hussars kind of like this:

But on hoverbikes looking a bit more futuristic in equipment.

Yes, as our resident King can confirm these Hussars are Polish. But they looked so good propaganda distorted history in a way that public thinks this is how Hungarian Hussars looked in battle.
Not like there's anything bad with the classic Hussar getup. Winged Hussars just fits the wild style I am giving them better.

Shogunate of Osaka



What Areas Do You Control:

The purple area in Japan around Osaka

Political Party:
Osakan Royal Family

Type of Government:
Feudal Kingdom

Date Out of Bunker:
tbd

Productions:
Steel, Coal, Fish, Rice, Computers, Automobiles, Planes, Industrial Machinery, Armaments and other weapons.

History of the Nation:
When the bombs fell upon Japan, it was only inevitable that a trade city like Osaka would face a great brunt of the force. A portion of the population of all of Kansai's cites and towns fled to a bunker, located near the city of Nara. The Bunker was, however, poorly constructed, only able to keep out radiation, but with broken air filters, poor food storage, and all around sub par living conditions. The life expectancy in the bunker had dropped to 30 years old on average, meaning many generations would come and pass in this harsh place. Here, the survivors of the great war would lay in wait, with generation after generation passing by, wondering when next they could return to their homelands. For a long while, the people of the Nara bunker slowly began to forget what actually was beyond the gates of their subterranean home. Memories of Japan, of Kansai, began to become entwined with that of legend.

The people in the Bunker began to tell stories of how the gods, disgusted with the decadent lifestyle that the Japanese had taken up, destroyed the world, but focused their wrath especially upon their people, who they saw as degenerate and in need of destruction. They filled the world with demons and fire, and the ancestors of the vault dwellers were believed to actually have died in the destruction, and that the spirits of the ancestors were sent to a hellish plain, still to have children, so that each subsequent generation would suffer as well. It was said that the spirits were locked into a prison of iron, surrounded by powerful fire, and that demons guarded the doors to the outside world. The dwellers of the vault, now totally unaware of the reality of their origins, began to associate the fabled land of Kansai as the paradise that lay beyond their prison, and that Osaka was the name of a prophesied kingdom that would be founded; holding the belief that the Goddess Amaterasu was sympathetic to their cause, and would, when they were ready, send a chosen one, born from her and one of the human dwellers, to free them. And once the savior of the damned would rise up, and free the people of the vault from their hell, he would lead them into the promised paradise to found Osaka.

This did, in turn, prove to be partially true, as the Dwellers did eventually find their way out of the vault, though they were late to arising out of the vault, they eventually were, by a pseudo-legendary figure known under the birth name of Takeshi Minami. Minami was born to an unknown mother, who seemed to have been absent since his birth, and who, according to his father, Yoshiro, was very absent, and only appeared from time to time, and seemingly disappeared the next morning after giving birth to young Takeshi. By the time that Takeshi was 16, he began hearing voices, and having visions of an unknown world. By the time that he was 18, he had been receving these premonitions every night, and, when he turned 18, he received one final revelation.

It is time, you know what must be done.

Suddenly, something seemed to click, all those visions and messages that he had received. He had to break out of the vault.

Minami began to talk to everyone he could, alerting them to the prophetic dreams he had received, and urged them to join him in leaving hell, to go into the promised land. Though most found him to be insane at first, he did achieve followers, and over time, he built a strong party to take on whatever lay beyond the iron gates. When his critics began to detract from his claims, it is said that a miracle happened, and that, in the midst of giving a speech to empower his warriors, before they took on the demons of the outside world, that Takeshi's body glowed with sunlight, and that he had a voice befitting of a powerful king, despite being yet a young man. With his followers at the ready, The Warriors of Minami began their assault into the outside world.

The land of Japan was a damaged world, though vegetation and animals had become stable once again after the centuries that the Vault Dwellers spent underground. Soon, however, the trekers were attacked by Mutants, who they mistook to be the demons of the gods. The ferverous settlers slew all the mutants they could, and soon, they decided it was safe to begin the move onto land, and the march unto Kansai. From this point on, it is said that the people of the vault declared themselves, the Kansaijin, and adopted a temporary life of nomadism as they wandered in search of the promised land.

According to Minami's prophecies, the place were Osaka would be founded, was already chosen by his mother, Amaterasu, who said that she had built for him, a palace for he and his descendants to reside in until the end of all things. After restless trekking in the reborn wilderness of Japan, the Kansaijin, stumbled upon what was once the Osaka Castle, though damaged badly, it was still standing tall above the ruins of Osaka, now mostly reclaimed by nature. The Kansaijin rejoiced, and decide that they would settle in the spot surrounding the palace. Takeshi Minami was renamed to King Kyūseishu, as an honor in his vital role in bringing the Kansaijin to their new home.

However, one problem remained, the grounds near Osaka Castle were infested with mutants, who were quick to attack the Kansaijin as moved in. Thus began the war for Osaka, a battle between the mutants and the humans, ultimately ending with the extermination and expulsion of the mutants, and the settlement of the Kansaijin in the lands of Osaka. From here, it is said that King Minami distributed his lands into 13 pieces, his own personal lands, and 12 plots for his original 12 followers, who were made into his first Daimyo. From this point on, Osaka was largely a City State, though the Daimyo state would often expand outwards. Many records of the archaic period of Osaka have not survived, but it is known that the legend of the promised land began to take on a different meaning over time, with the promised land moving from not only Kansai, but the entirety of the Japanese Islands.

The Shogunate of Osaka really comes into history following their expansion into the Kingdom of Kanto, when they made a revelation that, they were not the only humans in Japan. An explanation developed, that said that following the formation of the Osakan City-State, that occasionally the trouble causing descendants of evil daimyo were expelled, that over time their descendants would form kingdoms of their own, and that as the kings were not descended from Amaterasu, who made a covenant with the Minami Family, that they were illegitimate kingdoms, and must be conquered. In reality, these other humans were likely the descendants of vault dwellers who came onto land. The Shogunate of Osaka has been slowly growing, colonizing new land, killing mutants, and annexing nearby kingdoms. The King waits for the day that he can declare himself Emperor, and unite his kingdom under the name of Japan. For now the Shogunate grows slowly, as technologies from the old days are discovered in ruins, and rediscovered by brilliant minds once again. Osaka is a military powerhouse, with growing technology to support it, though its feudal nature may in fact be the death of it.

Main Race (What is your State Race + Racial Demographics):

The Shogunate is 98% Japanese; a minority of mutants exists as well, making up 2% of the population; they are mostly relegated to slave labor.

Main Religion (What is your State Religion + Religious Demographics):
The Religion of Osaka, practiced by virtually everyone in the Shogunate, is descended of Japanese Shinto, with the Kami still being present; however, the Osakans are very reverent towards Amaterasu, who they see as the great protector of all of Osaka. They also preform ceremonies and show reverence to King Kyūseishu, who receives a ceremony on the founding day of the Kingdom and on his birthday. It is said that there are elements of Osakan Shinto that seem to be foreign, and though they do not know it, these can be traced back to Christianity, which had a rather large presence in the culture of Japan prior to the bombings, due to growing western influences. Such is seen in Amaterasu's covenant, the presence of a Messianic figure with godly descent, and others.

Other:
The Society of The Osakan Shogunate follows the King (Shogun), who distributes land among the Daimyo. The Daimyo originally numbered in 12, but many more exist now, though all come from 12 aristocratic tribes, who are named after their legendary founder, one of the original Daimyo who were chosen by Kyūseishu. Below the Daimyo, are the Samurai, who are a military caste, in charge of watching over and protecting the Daimyo's lands, keeping his serfs in check, and answering his calls to war. Below the Samurai are the Freemen, who are any humans who do not fall into the previously stated classes, and are not slaves. Slaves are on the bottom, and mostly composed of prisoners of war, and mutants.

Holy Empire of Ethiopia

For God, Country, and Royalty

Legal Nation Name: Holy Empire of Ethiopia

What Areas Do You Control (Territories): Light blue nation in East Africa.

Flag or Banner (National and Political):

Political Party (What Party leads the Nation):
No Political Party leads it, in fact, it is still led by the Coptica, a descendant of Zakariah Abraham Zaile. The current Coptica is Zariah Zakrius Zaile

Type of Government (Self Explanatory):
The Second Ethiopian Empire Empire is ruled by the Holy Leader of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, the Coptica. The Coptica is said to be a descendent of Abraham, the founder of the Abrahamic Religions. The Copticas, while being religious leaders, are all in the same dynasties. Zariah Zakrius Zaile ancestor was the founder of the Second Ethiopian Empire, the state that eventually led to the Holy Empire of Ethiopia. Zariah's son shall be the next Emperor.

Date Out of Bunker:
2260

Productions (What your nation Produces):
Agriculture and Steel are the main productions

History of the Nation (Self Explanatory):
It all began with the assassination of his father by what was eventually revealed as an Ottoman Spy. Fasilides knew that at that moment he would destroy them, even if it meant taking the world down with him. He started the War of Gods to retake all of the land that the Caliphate stole from Christendom, and by the end of things he ended up causing the apocalypse.
Fasilides himself was given a live feed of the nuking of Istanbul, and oh boy it was a beautiful thing, buildings that stood for thousands of years destroyed, the straits lined with floating bodies. The Caliph himself escaped to Ankara but the damage was done.
At least, that was until they destroyed Addis Ababa. Once that happened both sides began lobbing nuclear bombs at the other nations, eventually resulting in a full on apocalypse scaled event causing majority of humanity to flee underground. It seems that it would be a long wait until the Ethiopians got control of the land they deserved.
Fasilides died at the age of 90, leaving his grandson Zakariahus to take the throne. He expanded New Addis Ababa (The Underground Area under the original Addis Ababa) and the reconstruction and advancement of technology, even overseeing the construction of the Beta Power Suits. Zakariahus died at the age of 50 from a heart attack, leaving his son Fasilides the Second to be the new king.
Fasilides the Second ordered the destruction of all Non-Ethiopian peoples, eventually leading to the destruction of 40% of the population. This eradication has already given him the title of Fasilides II the Destroyer. Other then those events, his reign was rather uneventful, along with majority of the reigns that followed.
Twenty years ago an 18 year old Zariah took the throne as Coptica. His first act as Emperor was to send Exhibition onto the surface to see if they can recolonize the surface world. Majority of the scout troops where destroyed by a Yemeni tribe that migrated across the waters and eventually settled around the Addis Ababa area. In response to this massacre of his scout troops he sent up a group of 1000 power armored soldiers, along with himself in power armor, to destroy the Yemeni tribe that murdered his men. The battle itself was nothing but a slaughter house, with the primitive guns and spears of the Yemeni tribes barring no match for the power armor. Within two months the Ethiopian troops pushed what was left of the Yemeni Tribes to Socotra, where they sent over boats to siege down and take the Island. The rest of the Yemeni tribesmen where disperse out among Africa and the middle east, with some sources they even went as far as India.
Zariah then set upon officially making New Addis Ababa and the Original Addis Ababa one city, with the ruins of the old territory serving as the area that they must repopulate. He set upon rebuilding the old Fasilides Castle to make it the knew capital building for the Empire. Zariah also declared the creation of the Holy Empire of Ethiopia, the successor state to the old Empire that once dominated Africa would be reborn from the ashes of the Rebirth. Zariah knew that it was his destiny to claim the land that was stolen from his families line during the 200 years of following the War of Gods.

Main Race (What is your State Race + Racial Demographics):
99% of the Empire is Ethiopian following the mass eradication + the racial inbreeding during the 200 years underground. The other 1% are Yemeni's tribes that are hiding from the Empires control over the region.

Main Religion:
It is a similar thing for religion, with around 95% of the Empire being Ethiopian Orthodox, and 4.9% being Islamic, with another 0.1% being Yemeni Pagan.

From this point on, it is said that the people of the vault declared themselves, the Kansaijin, and adopted a temporary life of nomadism as they wandered in search of the promised land.

According to Minami's prophecies, the place were Osaka would be founded, was already chosen by his mother, Amaterasu, who said that she had built for him, a palace for he and his descendants to reside in until the end of all things. After restless trekking in the reborn wilderness of Japan, the Kansaijin, stumbled upon what was once the Osaka Castle, though damaged badly, it was still standing tall above the ruins of Osaka, now mostly reclaimed by nature. The Kansaijin rejoiced, and decide that they would settle in the spot surrounding the palace. Takeshi Minami was renamed to King Kyūseishu, as an honor in his vital role in bringing the Kansaijin to their new home.

However, one problem remained, the grounds near Osaka Castle were infested with mutants, who were quick to attack the Kansaijin as moved in. Thus began the war for Osaka, a battle between the mutants and the humans, ultimately ending with the extermination and expulsion of the mutants, and the settlement of the Kansaijin in the lands of Osaka. From here, it is said that King Minami distributed his lands into 13 pieces, his own personal lands, and 12 plots for his original 12 followers, who were made into his first Daimyo. From this point on, Osaka was largely a City State, though the Daimyo state would often expand outwards. Many records of the archaic period of Osaka have not survived, but it is known that the legend of the promised land began to take on a different meaning over time, with the promised land moving from not only Kansai, but the entirety of the Japanese Islands.

The Shogunate of Osaka really comes into history following their expansion into the Kingdom of Kanto, when they made a revelation that, they were not the only humans in Japan. An explanation developed, that said that following the formation of the Osakan City-State, that occasionally the trouble causing descendants of evil daimyo were expelled, that over time their descendants would form kingdoms of their own, and that as the kings were not descended from Amaterasu, who made a covenant with the Minami Family, that they were illegitimate kingdoms, and must be conquered. In reality, these other humans were likely the descendants of vault dwellers who came onto land. The Shogunate of Osaka has been slowly growing, colonizing new land, killing mutants, and annexing nearby kingdoms. The King waits for the day that he can declare himself Emperor, and unite his kingdom under the name of Japan. For now the Shogunate grows slowly, as technologies from the old days are discovered in ruins, and rediscovered by brilliant minds once again. Osaka is a military powerhouse, with growing technology to support it, though its feudal nature may in fact be the death of it.

Main Race (What is your State Race + Racial Demographics):

The Shogunate is 98% Japanese; a minority of mutants exists as well, making up 2% of the population; they are mostly relegated to slave labor.

Main Religion (What is your State Religion + Religious Demographics):
The Religion of Osaka, practiced by virtually everyone in the Shogunate, is descended of Japanese Shinto, with the Kami still being present; however, the Osakans are very reverent towards Amaterasu, who they see as the great protector of all of Osaka. They also preform ceremonies and show reverence to King Kyūseishu, who receives a ceremony on the founding day of the Kingdom and on his birthday. It is said that there are elements of Osakan Shinto that seem to be foreign, and though they do not know it, these can be traced back to Christianity, which had a rather large presence in the culture of Japan prior to the bombings, due to growing western influences. Such is seen in Amaterasu's covenant, the presence of a Messianic figure with godly descent, and others.

Other:
The Society of The Osakan Shogunate follows the King (Shogun), who distributes land among the Daimyo. The Daimyo originally numbered in 12, but many more exist now, though all come from 12 aristocratic tribes, who are named after their legendary founder, one of the original Daimyo who were chosen by Kyūseishu. Below the Daimyo, are the Samurai, who are a military caste, in charge of watching over and protecting the Daimyo's lands, keeping his serfs in check, and answering his calls to war. Below the Samurai are the Freemen, who are any humans who do not fall into the previously stated classes, and are not slaves. Slaves are on the bottom, and mostly composed of prisoners of war, and mutants.
