RISE AND FALL OF THE VARECTIAN REPUBLIC


The year is 91 B.C. (Before Current). The Varectian Republic has a long and storied martial history, but her sudden expansion has stalled. With the great Southern Mayyad Empire growing in the south, and the Lacedonian and Delosian provinces requiring attention across the water, the Republic must now face threats external and internal, lest it fall apart at treacherous hands from the inside and growing threats from the outside. The Ardenoisian Tribes to the north and the People of Marfactorum and Thecian colony of Sarecia on the Delosian Isle to the east, the potential for expansion is ever present. To the west, the Sasticcan Tribes and the fiercely independent Subian tribes threaten trade routes.


The Varectian Republic and it's Provinces, 91 B.C.


The Varectian Senate, with one hundred junior and senior senators is a power unto itself. With the Varectian Legions at it's beck and call, it is a powerful tool, except for it's constant division. You, as a senator of the Varectian Senate or a governor of one of the Republic's vast provinces, will lead the Republic. Though will you lead it to it's continuation, or its downfall?



MECHANICS
-- You as a player will represent a single character: a Varectian Senator or Governor.
-- The game will begin with a Sortition (casting of lots) to appoint Governorship and Appointments.
-- One Turn is equal to 3 Years in peace and 1 Year in war.
-- Each Turn, a character may take 1 Action:
* [Call for Vote| Senator Only]: You may call for a vote on the following: Raise Legion, Disband Forces Relocate Forces, Raise Navy, Call to War, Call to Trade, Call for Peace, Call for Appointment, Call for Exploration, Call for Legislation.

* [Raise/Disband Troops | Governor Only]: If you are a Governor, you may raise/disband 3,000 Varectian Auxilia for 20 Vects in your territory or 5 Triremes for 30 Vects.

* [Plot]: This creates a Plot, which you may ask others to join. You may Plot to Seize Power or Plot to Kill. Use this wisely.

* [Govern/Campaign]: You may Increase Loyalty in your province, or Decrease Loyalty in a neighboring province if you are a governor, or Increase Support for your Senator by 3 Senators or Decrease Support for another Senator by 2 Senators. This costs 15 Vects from the Vectarian Treasury.

* [Send Gift]: May send a gift of 30 Vects to a PC or NPC character or an NPC nation your Province borders.

THE GOAL OF THE GAME
-- As a Varectian, you may want to expand the empire in a war. You may want to see it's citizens more loyal. You may wish to forge alliances. You may wish. . to become Emperor. These are all possible.
-- Governors must pay attention to the Loyalty of their provinces. Higher loyalty will increase it's income. Lower loyalty may cause it to revolt, though Governor's who wish to seize power may want a rebellious province. A province not loyal to the Republic will also be more loyal to the governor if he too does not support Varectia.
-- Senators must pay attention to their Support, which can range from 0 to 100. These NPC Senators are crucial for passing bills in your favor.
-- Besides just your actions, great IC posts will garner favorable events for you.







That's the whole game. I as moderator will represent the NPC powers of the game. The world map is much larger than what you see above, but Varectia must explore if it wishes to find new lands.

This is an interest check. If I can find 5-10 players who wish to have a character, this should be a fun RP.

Drop your interest here with questions, suggestions, etc.

Good luck with this, the Nation Roleplay subforum has been a bit slow as of late, so it's always nice getting something fresh into it.

@ethanjory You're always free to join!

Given the fact this is mechanic-lite and moves at 3 Years/Turn, the game should be relatively fast paced.
