The Goal:
A functional, reasonably-long lasting NRP.

Many NRP's seem to fail from the start. This NRP seeks to avoid that by having a minimalist nation sheet. Other RP's seem to fail during the course of the game. I'm trying to avoid that with specific, straightforward rules, heavy reliance on player interaction, and "roleplaying agreement" to fill in the gaps from nation sheets.

This is, of course, somewhat experimental, and may fail gloriously.


The Genre:
I see no need to specify this. We're roleplayers making a fictional world; whatever schizo-tech-magic mashup that results is just how that world is.*

The Rules:
  • You must post two to three paragraphs. No less than two, no more than three. New paragraphs for a line of dialogue won't count toward the total.
  • Unless you've said something to the GM, failing to post once every week means you will be kicked (school is an acceptable excuse!).
  • At least two out of three posts should contain some kind of interaction with someone else's nation. This could be a diplomatic overture, troop movements along a border, espionage, trade, or any of the other millions of things nations do to and with each other. If we're not interacting... what's the point?



.



Nation Sheet:
***DO NOT ADD ADDITIONAL CATEGORIES TO THIS SHEET!!!***


Also, please try to refer to at least one other nation in your nation sheet. That's a guideline, not a rule, but it's a guideline that will help spur interaction.


Name of Nation: Your Nation's Name

Color on Map: Which color on the map your nation corresponds to

Summary in 50 words or fewer: What your nation is/what your nation's all about

Write three solid paragraphs (doesn't have to be about your nation): This is to make sure that you're a reasonable writer who actually has some level of commitment to the RP. [If you need a prompt: "Unlock new potential for your civilization through active research in both technology and culture."]




Map:
-The map is an icosahedron, the shape of a d20.

I'd still like to discuss the technology in this universe. Just in brief.

Name of Nation: Bakalarian Sovereign State

Color on Map: Green

Summary in 50 words or fewer: The BSS a conquering nation. But, if we cannot get what we want we often use spies to get it. We are not keen on invading now, as we can barely hold up with limited trade and plunder. Our only trading partner is Purple

Write three solid paragraphs:
Evan runs through the courtyard and out into the street heading for the docks, not daring to look back in hopes of losing the creatures chasing him. He leaps behind a stack of barrels at the docks. Evan slowly pulls out his rifle hoping not to make much noise and aims it in between a crack in the barrels. He waits for a few minutes, holding his breath almost the entire time and the creatures appear 20 feet away. They look straight at Evan.
Evan makes sure his aim is right and open fires dropping all three creatures and running out from behind the barrels loading his clip into the resilient creatures. He crouches down, feels the pulse of the first one, slits it's throat and cuts of both ears. Each ear is worth 50 Penios in the shop. a weeks worth of food. He awkwardly shuffles over to the second one reaches for the ear and the creature jumps up and grabs Evan's throat.
"Why do I always make these cocky mistakes?" he asks the creature.
The creature just smiles and rasps, "Ooh well. Too late"
Suddenly, the creature is torn off of him as everyone watches and Evan looks to see a bullet through the creatures eye. Evan looks around and spots his brother who patrols this area as a Bakalar soldier.
"Thanks big brother!" Evan yells, his brother nods and walks off. Evan reloads and loads 5 bullets into the last monsters skull and continues to cut of the last 4 ears and walks away to the shop to collect his reward.

It's been awhile since I have written things longer than a paragraph. So, in this case that may count as 4 paragraphs. So, sorry if it does.

Name of Nation: Crab Island

Color on Map: Olive

Summary in 50 words or fewer: Crab island is a state priding itself on democracy that originally sat on just a small continent between two landmasses. However, it invaded both mainlands and spread its control over two shores and set up two Military Territories, Pisces and Cancer. It's main exports are "Smoke", Meat, and Coconuts.

Write three solid paragraphs: General Marcus Tazville hummed happily to himself, leaning over the railing of the watchtower that overlooked a base full of soldiers going about their day. He sipped from his cup of Coconut coffee. In his seven years watching over Cancer he never got used to how terrible it tasted. Who in the right mind would make something like that, anyway? Sergeant Wilhelm Jobbe jogged towards Tazville holding a clipboard, saluted, and began reading off to him.
"Sir, I finished collecting all of this years votes. Looks like Tennigan wins again." The sergeant adjusted his glasses as he finished. General Tazville dumped his coffee and wiped his hands together. "I'd ought to get back to the Island tonight, then." He took the clipboard from Jobbe and walked towards the Landing Base.
As he walked, flipped through each page on the clipboard, detailing the votes of every single "citizen" in Cancer. He stopped when he got to page 7, seeing a large portion of votes for Hale. Unacceptable. If the fat bastard would keep his promise of decomissioning both Pisces AND Cancer, then Crab Island would be done for. He casually whistled as he pulled out the page, and grabbed for a nearby phone. "A-Base? This is Papa Devil, I'm going to need to delay the flight to Gil by say... Two hours, I'd like to make one last checkup on the base. Over." And with that, he plucked out Page 7 and pulled out a lighter, burning it to ashes.

Okay, sure, @Voltus_ventus let's talk about tech a bit. I had no preplanned idea for the UPR's tech level. I did mention steam engines and a magical healing plant, but that could go a lot of ways - steampunk, early industrial, magic steampunk, no magic but with a superstitious population calling science magic.

What do we, in general, think about tech? There's no requirement that everyone even developed at the same pace.




@bluetommy2 No, your sheet from the interest check is fine. Go ahead and post in the characters tab.

~o~0~o~


@Charles Approved! Go ahead and post in the characters tab.

I don't think Technology should be too important. We should just develop our own nations, and see where we end up. I mean Crab Island is in a WW2 era of technology, with maybe some weak super-science.
