The World as We Know It


Game Rules

Nation Dossier
1. The Nation Dossier is your primary form of information in TWaWKI. Information there supersedes information anywhere else. Among the information there is your population, government, enacted policies and military and economic information.
2. State Power is the centralization of your government. The higher your nation's State Power, the more policies can be enacted. For every 15 State Power (rounded down) your nation has, your nation can pass 1 Legislation.
3. Policies are an act, bill or major political, economic or military action that your nation enacts. Passing a bill/edict/act/reform is passed via IC and must be named to minimize detrimental effects. 

Industries
4. There are four industries in the game: Rail, Automotive, Arms and Aviation. At the beginning of January and June you will have an opportunity to implement the Industry Phase. (See Industry Phase below).

Order of Play
5. The Monthly Phase is as such. Every in-game Month the GM posts an update for that month (example: February), explaining events that have unfolded. Following that, any post you do must take place in the month immediately following that, attaching a Summary to the end of post explaining your nation's actions. In the next Monthly Phase, the GM will reveal the results (if any) of those actions.
6. The Industry Phase takes place during January, April, July and October where you as a nation can direct the invisible hand of your four industries at three month intervals.

Industries Phase
7. There are four industries: Rail, Automotive, Arms and Aviation.
8. Each phase is worked separately.
9. The Industrial Phase is completely optional to the player and can be automated by the GM for the player if the player wishes.

Rail Industry
10. Your nation will fall into one of two categories: 1. a nation with a rail industry (requiring at least 1 domestic rail company) and 2. a nation without an rail industry.

Automotive Industry
11. Your nation will fall into one of two categories: 1. a nation with an automotive industry (requiring at least 1 domestic automotive company) and 2. a nation without an automotive industry.
12. During the Automotive Section of the Industry Phase, nations without an automotive industry will start in random order and have two options: Offer Incentive or Pass. Once a player has bid, it will move to the next player. They can Offer Incentive at a higher rate or Pass. Once all nations have gone, this phase ends.
- Offer Incentive: Starting with $5,000,000 you will make a bid to create a demand for a foreign automotive market to enter your nations domestic market. This money could be considered building roads as viable infrastructure or creating a political campaign to get a foreign manufacturer into your market. Once a bid has been placed.
- Pass: No bid is offered and your nation's government offers no incentives.
13. The top bid will then receive a Demand of 1d6 + [Bid Amount in Millions].
14. Nations with an automotive industry will then set their nation's domestic automotive actions per company. 1 Automotive Action is taken per month.
15. Each turn, you will select the action the automotive industry takes for each Automotive Company that is domestically owned.
16. A company has the following stats:
Automotive Company
Name of Company
Owner & Special Ability:
Bank:
R&D Points:
Models / Demand / Selling Price:
Factories / Monthly Production:
Units Sold (Monthly / Total):
Major Losses:

The actions a domestic automobile company can take are:
Automotive Actions
Research & Development: +3 R&D Points.
Open Factory: Costs $100,000. Will begin producing the latest domestic design.
Close Factory: Cost $40,000. Closes factory producing most obsolete domestic design.
Expand Market: [Select Market. Your highest automobile design - Their markets highest automobile design = Demand equal to the number multiplied by 1.5.]
Take Loan: Takes $150,000 Loan. Must pay back 25% per year or company takes 1 Major Loss.
Design Automobile:
* Choose Low End (Subtract -1 R&D). Mid Level (Subtract -2 R&D). Luxury (Subtract -4 R&D from total spent).
* All Available R&D Points subtracted by Latest International Designs.
* If the sum is negative, the company creates an Automobile that is 1 Level less than the Latest International Design and the company takes 1 Major Loss.
* Costs $10,000 for every R&D Point spent.
* If the sum between between (Available R&D Points subtracted by Latest International Design is greater than 10, the design fails and the company takes 1 Major Loss.

Official Government Name: The Serene Empire of Tara

Head of State: Her Imperial Majesty the Empress Liliana, Queen of Sairland, Suzerain of the Vershellen Principalities, Matriarch of House Tara, Radiant Duchess of the Royal Marches, Defender of the Empire and the Star in the West, Lady of the Winter Dynasties and Protector of the Cinnamon Isles.

Capital City: Rigour, the Star in the West

National Language: Tarantese

The Serene Empire has its origins and seat of power on a set of sprawling islands in the balmy equatorial seas. Imperial colonies have since been established on several other landmasses, supplying the metal and stone-poor islands with these resources and acting as a market for the various foodstuffs and luxury goods the Home Duchies – the five original islands of the Empire - provide. The islands themselves – with the exception of inhospitable, mountainous Monrutaine – are generally congenial, interspersing thick jungle and cloud forests with broad, open floodplains perfect for settlement. To others, though, Taran summers are stiflingly hot and incredibly humid, even with the frequent thunderstorms. is split into several administrative and geographic units, as follows:

1.) The Home Duchies. The origin of the Empire, the five Home Duchies are its beating heart. Richly watered by regular rain and spared the extremes of the world's weather as a whole, they are lush and green. The balmy capital region comprises the five principal islands of the ancient duchies – Arcadia, Monrutaine, Vallefay, Myrantia, Salamis and of course the Royal Marches themselves. The islands – with the exception of harsh Monrutaine – are a mixture of lush, rich rainforest and broad, fertile grasslands amply watered by rivers and dotted with sparkling lakes. Such hills and mountains as exist are old and gently rolling, and the beaches slope down to the turquoise seas in long, white arcs. Most of the settlements of any note here are, unsurprisingly, seaports of one flavour or another, the greatest of which is dreaming Xantal on its thousand isles.

The imperial capital of Rigour sprawls across miles of the meandering river Rheol in the Royal Marches.

2.) Sairland - An archipelago to the south-east of the imperial heartland, in earlier times Sairland was an independent maritime nation and long-term trading partner of the then-Serene Kingdom of Tara. It was a state renowned for its commercial acumen, its music and its artistic sophistication, but in the latter days of its existence as an independent nation it was convulsed by the throes of revolution and internecine war. Tara, in particular, watched in horror as the Sairish people went mad – or so it seemed to them – burning down palaces and grand monuments that had stood for generations, tearing down a culture which had stood for a millennium in a few short months. The Sairish merchant fleet and the navy together both quickly turned to piracy as the disintegration of the Sairish nation continued, fuelled by demagogues from a half-dozen different powers who had aimed Sairland like a missile at the Serene Kingdom and her shipping lanes, many of which passed through Sairish waters, long since considered safe and now suddenly some of the deadliest in the world.

Whilst the Kingdom had initially tried to stay out of the conflicts in Sairland, as soon as Sairish ships began to prey on Taran vessels, it became clear that something had to be done. Those few Taran agents who happened to be in Sairland – and those that had survived the pogroms – were rapidly coordinated and the Royal Navy sailed for Sairland in quick succession. The armada sent most of the Sairish fleet to the bottom of the sea in short order, just outside the capital Port Vannis, and, having defeated the seaborne threat, the Royal Army was the next up to bat, enormous troop transports disgorging fully a quarter of the entire army into Sairish harbours to restore order – by any means necessary. After several of the more belligerent pirates and agitators had been summarily shot by the advancing soldiery and their strongholds reduced to rubble by naval bombardment, the islands began to calm down and the Royal Engineers came in to clean up the mess and repair some of the damage that the conflict – and the previous years of civil war – had wrought. With the agitators shot, deported or behind bars in the newly-created Empire’s special cells under the tender care of the Harlequins, the Sairish citizens began to appreciate the return to sanity and the stability of Taran rule. 

The King of Sairland is Alexander de Rochevalle, governing his territory from the silver-domed Grand Palais in Port Vannis.

3.) Vershellen - The principalities across the sea, Vershellen is the second-oldest overseas possession of the Empire, initially conquered for its rich deposits of gemstones to feed the voracious appetites of the merchant princes and high nobility. The land is harsh; the principalities themselves are scattered across the desert, huddled around oases, aquifers and the rare permanent rivers that come down from the high mountains that fringe the principalities on two sides. Unsurprisingly for such a maritime nation, imperial power is concentrated near the coastal cities, where both the crushing might of the Imperial Navy can be brought to bear and the moderating influence of trade and travel has broadened the mind.

The current Vicereine is Maharin de Sulimenne, whose family lands encompass the regional capital of Aurian.

4.) Cinnamon Isles - Exotic and engaging, a tourist destination right across the world – to quote a tourist advertisement ‘The dusky and enigmatic Cinnamon Isles, where natives the colour of rich chocolate cavort on the orange sands and wine-dark seas lap the shores under a nacarine sky.’ The Cinnamon Isles are found to the south and west of the Home Duchies. The mainstay of the Cinnamon Isles’ economy these days is tourism, unsurprisingly, given its great natural beauty and the aesthetic sense the Dominion’s rulers have preserved ever since the Isles fell under Imperial rule. 

The capital of the Cinnamon Isles is the city of Cinnabar, where Aurelia Thierrault, the Vicereine of the Isles and Countess of the Rathing Sea in her own right, rules from her sandstone palace and the sleek shapes of hotels discreetly mingle with the villas of the wealthy, jostling genteelly for position along the curving sweep of the beaches.

-Sairish: Traders, merchant venturers and erstwhile pirates from Sairland, a small, fertile archipelago to the south and west of Tara’s Home Duchies heartland. The stereotypical Sairish appearance is one of blonde hair, fine features and eyes like the sea itself.

-Vershelleen: Natives of the Serene Empire’s second-oldest overseas possession, after Sairland itself, the Vershelleen are dark-skinned and fire-eyed, revelling in heat and humidity that would severely hamper others. A common myth is that their ancestors were burned black by the sun.

-Pencharnese: Hailing from the Cinnamon Isles, the dusk-skinned Pencharnese have held and cherished an economic rivalry with Sairland and the Sairish since time immemorial. Despite their cosmopolitan homeland, their trading heritage and their practices of hospitality, they still hold themselves apart from the other groups in the Empire; their own word for themselves translates simply as ‘the People’.

-Moravines: Originally hailing from the most isolated and mountainous of the imperial Home Duchies, the Moravines are known for their strength and stubbornness as well as the similarity of their flattened features – it’s often remarked that Moravines have only three surnames across the entire duchy, which, whilst a falsehood, is not too far from the mark.

--------------------------------------------------

Empress Liliana - Serious and devoted to her country, the young Empress tries to be balanced and listens carefully to her Opal Court and their counsels, carefully taking soundings before committing to any action. Her still-childlike figure is a powerful tool in making others underestimate the power of the Empire, while internally she is held up as a beacon of hope. The Empress always makes a point of visiting any disaster area or great new development, to either celebrate the achievements of the people or to commiserate and direct more resources into recovery procedures.

Her closest counsel is the Imperial Chancellor, Peregrine Montclair, the Duke of Arcadia.

Her Majesty's Government and its Cabinet

1.) Peregrine Montclair, Imperial Chancellor and Duke of Arcadia - The affable and smiling fifteenth Duke of Arcadia, Earl of Xantal, Viscount Saere and Imperial Chancellor, Peregrine Montclair is the day-to-day de facto head of the government. As Chancellor it's Perry's job to orchestrate the often-fractious Parliament and govern, in his empress' name, the far-flung possessions of the Serene Empire. 

Even before the Chancellorship, Peregrine Montclair was one of the most powerful men in the Empire – not that he shows it much, hiding his true power and wealth behind a smiling, affable façade. His duchy provides advanced engines and devices, and further grows luxury cash crops and succulent fruits for the finer tables of the Empire. The Duke also receives vast revenues from the trading ports of his capital; indeed, he might as well own his own private navy, given he is the Chairman and owner of the Trifecta Shipping Group, one of the largest freight-and-passenger services in the Empire.

He is the leader of the Centrist Party in imperial politics.

2.) Alexander de Serenne, Viscount St. Clair and Marshal of the Imperial Army - The redoubtable Marshal of the Imperial Army and, therefore, de facto Minister of War for the Serene Empire, Alexander is a dark horse among the high nobility. The Serennes as a House are minor nobility in Arcadia duchy, but Alexander, from a cadet branch of the family, pursued a highly successful career in the military, fighting numerous battles and rising through the officer corps (his family, after all, paid to put him through officer training rather than see him slog through with the rest of the grunts). He reached the rank of Lieutenant-General in the Royal Engineers before retiring to take up politics. He commands the entire army from the Imperial College of War, alongside his counterpart in the Navy.

He is a member of the Centrist Party.

3.) William de Vallière, Viscount Vajours and First Lord of the Admiralty - Endlessly energetic, de Vallière is the dynamo that drives the Imperial Admiralty. A relentless modernizer, under his watch the Admiralty has commissioned and documented more studies, experiments and testbeds than at any other point in its history. His drive for all things new does not only extend to new ships and weapons, though - he has ruthlessly streamlined the notoriously-complex shipbuilding process to good effect and military acclaim. His signature practically sizzles on every important piece of Admiralty legislation or Board decision over the last few years, and it would be hard to find a more dedicated naval man.

He is a member of the Expansionist Party in imperial politics.

4.) Gabriel de Marin, Marquis of the Reach and Foreign Secretary - Tenth Marquis of the Reach, Earl Rosemont, Earl Tavistock and Baron Tenshard, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs is a powerful man indeed. A career diplomat and politician, the Gothic colossus of the Foreign Office is a home away from home. Precise and smooth, a graduate of Queen's Ring Academy and Polaris University, like most of the Cabinet, he is supremely comfortable in the clubby atmosphere of Parliament and a past master at its many and varied backroom deals and internecine political intrigue.

As Foreign Secretary, he is well-placed to put that particular talent to use on a wider stage. As chairman of the Expansionist Party, he is a strident and well-known voice in Parliament, pushing for bringing civilisation to the benighted heathens of the world by any means necessary.

5.) Nathaniel Ruthven, Earl Summervale and Chancellor of the Exchequer - Precise and unflappable, Nathaniel Ruthven is the oldest and perhaps most conservative of the current Cabinet. Having engaged in the mysterious world of high finance for many years as Lord Allenby - his courtesy title, before ascending to the earldom - he has a keen understanding of what makes the Treasury tick and, crucially, how to keep it ticking. Instinctively against any great new expenditure of imperial lucre, he keeps tight control over the purse-strings of government.

A valued - but extremely irritating - member of the Cabinet, his careful fiscal policies often force Peregrine Montclair and the other members of Cabinet to exhaustively justify their spending plans. Once set on an issue, he has a will of iron and is very difficult to shift. He is a member of the Centrist Party, and is known as the Father of the House of Blood, being the longest-serving aristocrat in Parliament.

6.) Olivier de Perrault, Baron Daubeny and Chairman of the Imperial Board of Trade - Head of the sprawling imperial trading bureaucracy, responsible for every port and freight railway terminus in the land, in charge of tariffs and customs, the Imperial Board of Trade is a powerful body, and its head an influential man.

Rotund and jolly, Daubeny is a renowned gourmand and epicure, enjoying the finer things in life that his position affords, either in the form of gifts and treats from the great merchantier houses looking to persuade him and his committees one way or the other, or else in the enviable access his position affords.

Perhaps naturally, he is a member of the Expansionist Party, aligning closely with their ideals of ordered imperial dominion - and with it, yet more trading destinations under the empire's banner.

7.) Solomon Holmes-Selkirk, Viscount Oriel and Secretary of State for Home Affairs - Details! Expansionist Party

8.) Jacques de Clifforde, Earl Fenton and Secretary of State for the Colonies - Details! Centrist Party

9.) Edward Farnese-Sagari, Viscount Thalassa and Secretary of State for Sairland - Details! Centrist Party

10.) Martyn Hamilton, Viscount Drax and Secretary of State for Industry - Details! Expansionist Party

11.) Charles Clare-Malet, Marquis Templecombe and Attorney-General to the Opal Court - Details! Apolitical legal advisor

Her Majesty's Most Loyal Opposition

1.) Sir David de Borbonne, Baron Mersenne and Leader of the Opposition - Details! Liberal Party

2.) Airey Fanshawe-Curreau, Earl Vallon and Shadow Secretary of State for Home Affairs - Details! Coextensive Party

3.) Sadi de Carnot, Viscount Carnot and Shadow Foreign Secretary - Details!  Liberal Party

The Osladian Empire


God Save the Tsar!

Head of State: Tsar Nikolas III, Tsar of Oslad, Boletaria, and Loren, Chieftain of the Tangarian Tribes (69)
Capital City: Oslograd
National Language: Sladic
Basic Demographics: 
Oslad Proper: The western most province and capital of the Empire. The province of Oslad has mild summers and harsh winters, with much of the fertile land becoming blanketed in snow. Through years of agricultural labor, much of Oslad proper is plains and farmland, with the rural population taking the fruits of their labors to the steadily growing and industrializing capital of Oslograd to put their products to market. 
Boletaria: The northern province of the Empire. Boletarians are a strong people built for their harsh mountainous homeland. The Boletarians are warriors at heart and many young Boletarian men seek their place within the Osladian Imperial Army in order to care for their families. In addition to their warrior culture, Boletaria owns a monopoly on the market for northern aquatic goods, with Boletarian seal meat and blubber selling high as an exotic item for the rest of the world.
Loren: The south-western most province of the Empire. The Loreni are an exotic people compared to the rest of the Imperial provinces. The Loreni-folk are of tanned skin and hail themselves as master craftsmen, sailors, and poets. While the Osladians and Boletarians toil and wage war, the Loreni are content to sit in their villas and harbors; writing poems and songs, crafting garments of fine silk and assorted colors, and fishing in the calm Loreni waters. 
Tangary: The south-eastern most province of the Empire. The Tangarians are a proud, and somewhat arrogant, tribal folk hailing from the Tangar Steppes. With a tradition of horse riding and archery, the Tangarians make for excellent scouts, cavalrymen, hunters, and marksmen with a long history of horse lords and mighty chiefs vying for dominance over the massive steppe. Despite all of this, the Tangarians hold their independence above all else, and the Osladian Imperial Army has waged more than a few wars against a persistent insurgency for the independence of the Tangarian horse-folk.

Demographics

Dygracians - Majority populace, almost universal church membership.

Winterlanders - Relatively small group native to the winter isles. In distant history, a few conflicts broke out, but the majority are well-assimilated at present and very few would ever agitate for independence. In contrast to the Treeclimbers, these natives have maintained global contacts and technological advancements at the same stage the Sultanate has since the inception of both.

Goldfolk - This encompasses a wide range of ethnicities from across the world that trade in Dygracia. They are paid little attention and tend to agitate for more trading rights.

Wuluwasa - They are a minor immigrant population, generally employed in low-paying jobs.

Treeclimbers - They form a small collection of tribes scattered throughout the islands that are effectively autonomous and can't be easily controlled. 

Walladutoogans - Generally friendly descendants of the coastal powers from the mainland. The Sultanate maintains the Walladutooga Colony on the mainland, a gift from an ancient heirless prince of the city, and the population is very much cozy with the Dygracians. They have a long-running feud with the Wuluwasa.

Places

Dygracia - This is the capital city, a thriving ancient metropolis, recently renovated with a cutting edge sewer system. They are currently encroaching on former countryside with industrial developments, angering the farmers who worked the land of their ancestors.

The Winter Isles - A beautiful land of mountains and powdery snow, as well the internationally famous vineyards in the north. The Summer Palace of His Divine Valor the Grand Sultan is located here. The city containing the capital, Aredelia, is located on the Northern Coast.

Mount Kulufadewaba - The highest mountain in Dygracia Major. A major holy site of the Church of Heavenly Majesty.

Walladutooga Colony - A small exclave of Dygracia located further up the coast. Donated to the Grand Dygracian Sultanate by an ancient heiress prince of the region.

Gulf of Zajek - Body of water extending into Dygracia past the 'double arms' of the land.

Aureatalum - Large city located in a massive jungle clearing in the east of the nation. This city serves as the main means of coordinating eastern railroads and central authority to the jungle lands. The surrounding jungle is the home of the Treeclimber natives.

Official Government Name: The Republic of Kalpia
Head of State: President Reimund Braun
Capital City: Arsech
National Language: Karisian
Basic Demographics: 

Geography.-  Kalpia is divided into several provinces and it has a rectangle like shape, as it is a long country that covers its fair share of land in the continent, as for the terrain , Kalpía is filled with forests, grasslands, and hills that cover most of its surface, with a mountain chain in the northernmost border. 

As for the administrative divisions of the Republican territory, the most important are as follows:

Metropolitan Arsech.- Not as large as the rest of the provinces, Metropolitan Arsech it's a special division of the territory, only recently given the status of Metropolitan area, as just recently the population in it has surpassed the 6 million thresholds required to consider it as such by the government. The importance of Metropolitan Arsech is quite as it is the largest industrial and financial center of the republic.

Province of Karp.- Karp is the mining center of the Republic , where most of the minerals are mined, refined and then sent to the capital where they used to produce arms or consumer goods, it is also a zone with much military presence, as many military exercises are taken here over the year. The Major City is Karp and it has two minor towns of importance Veira and Wusma

Province of Marneit.- Unlike the industrial Arsech or the mining center of Karp , Marneit is a relatively low-density economic zone, where most of the economic activities are focused on agriculture, it is also the less literate province of the Republic and the most traditional one as well.Major City Marneit , Towns Herja and Leikap 

Province of Kaniarus.- Kaniarus is the region where most of the Parsians and Virisians live ,  it isn't a well developed region and neither an industrial center, but it has all the coast of the republic and as such , it is of quite strategic importance for the rest of provinces , who have to send their products through the Liubeth port, which not as big as the ones of the Empire of Tara , serves its function well. Major City: Liubeth , Towns: Tarist and Sergat

Culture.- WIP

History.- The Republic of Kalpia has a long history of fighting with for its independence either with its inmediate neighbours or the rest of

Official Government Name: The Republic of Itherae
Head of State: President Alexei Georgas, 52
Capital City: Itherae
National Language: Ivili
Basic Demographics: A small, democratic republic nestled in a rather mountainous region, the Republic of Itherae is a shadow of its former self, having lost most of its lands for a plethora of reasons. It’s lands filled with valued resources and a culture that will never die, one that extends back to the most ancient of times. Yet, they remain as a dot on the map, a rather industrious dot one might add. No longer able to fight amongst some of the larger dogs of the world, the Republic has focused on stabilizing its economy and becoming a producer. Through this focus, Itherae has become a bit urbanized compared to how much land it actually owns now. With this in mind, the small nation clings onto life, hoping that it might survive any further onslaught.

Official Government Name: Empire of Violette.

Head of State: Empress Tsirine.

Capital City: Confluence.

National Language: Veletian.

Basic Demographics: An ancient and powerful kingdom that has influenced the history of The Continent more than perhaps any other, Violette is the nation to which other great nations measure themselves. Geographically dominated by rolling, fertile plains that have historically made the country a breadbasket of the civilized world, Violette's southern border is demarcated by the 'Luzerne'—a sparsely populated marshy region that extends into neighboring Thecia. At the opposite end of the country, near the Tarantese Channel, sits Confluence: a metropolis built around a large island at the point where the Jamais Ouest and Jamais Est rivers meet, before draining into the channel. Violette's storied history and significant influence over global politics have given the country and its people a reputation for arrogance and snobbery, a fact compounded by the Veletians excellence in both producing and consuming luxuries of all kinds.

Official Government Name: Grand Kingdom of Meung
Head of State: (Position, Name, Age) Crown Prince Hu Shihuang
Capital City: Yijun
National Language: Meung
Basic Demographics: The Celestial Kingdom, the Heavenly Empire, the Realm of the East, Meung has been put down under many names through the ages lead by various dynasties as it lays claim to being one of the oldest civilizations in the world. Its rich in natural resources and beauty and has had a strong history as a provide of exotic goods sought after by merchants around the world. However, its luster dulls and its shine fades as the smoke of a new era clouds the old traditions of an age of isolation; the warm, humid landscape torn asunder by its inability to get with the times after suffering a crippling blow in recent wars against technologically superior powers. Poised in a vulnerable state, its fate remains a mystery as its aging king dies and the weight of the oldest empire in the world rests upon the shoulders of the Crown Prince Hu Shihuang.
