"Sir, we have a situation. You might want to see it for yourself!"
Before we head any further into the RP I want to get one thing clear. I love the XCOM games. As fun as they are, they often make you want to break the keyboard with your forehead, because they are so ruthless and unforgiving. This only amplifies if you play Xenonauts which is a lot more accurate and keeps more of the old games aesthetics. But none of them make any sense. I never understood how a governement would back out from funsing an anti alien campaign which CLEARLY lacks funding, instead of giving it more money to do it's job. So I am here to test my theory, and to quell my interest. Roll teh curtains!
In a world that closely resembles ours, with people living in it just like us, things are not as fun as you mgiht think. the date is 1939 March 1 and the governements of the world are in terror. After decades of constant territorial fights, a few large empires annexed most other smaller countries shaping the world in different ways. Oppositions between them change the way the world works. Smaller countries struggle to maintain power and influence. Most from Unions to have a greater effect on their bigger neighbors. There is no such thing as UN and the word is in a constant MILD war era, so to say. But on this day humanity might have faced their biggest enemy yet. Not their own neighbors. Not their own. But extraterrestial life. At 0640 Standard Unified Time, scanners all around the world picked up an extremely strong pulse lasting around 4 seconds coming from somewhere around the rings of Saturn. Upon further investigation it was discovered that a fleet of massive battleships have entered the solar system and are heading straight for our planet (Mawei).
If we fight a war against our own species they mgiht scare us. They might initmidate us. But the fear of unknown instictively puts us in terror at teh sight of alien life. There is only so muchg the rival empires could do. As terror and chaos spreads nation wide, propaganda is heavely used to maintain the masses. By the end of the day, the whole world knows about the aliens. This is day of the breakdown. At 1500 hours the Sarav Coalition declares martial law, and soon the other countries follow. It is time to count down until the common enemy arrives. But will our species devour itself in fear before the biggest threat arrives? Or will it unite to repel extinction? Only the time could tell. 6 months from now.
Now I hope that is clear. In teh next 6 months everyone will want to do what they can to prepare. That emans invading others, starting wars or making peace. The world is in chaos. There is no singular goal amongst the split humanity. With the weapons avaible resembling early WW2 era, people need to act fast, and dwell deep into research, or fund an economy capable of repelling anything using masses. Now I hope you can all get the vibe I want to get from here. Save your asses. I want some very interesting nations to be planned out, and you can edit teh map that I will put in the hider below. Not that I want serious people to play, those who are willing to post till the RP dies because of old age. There are NPC nations that won't do much, but can be a good trade partner, and give you other benefits, so gaining them as allies might be a good idea. Borders should connect. You can put small NPC nations around your empire's border too, as long as they won't take up too much space. Have fun planning your nations culture and history!
