This is a little unusual as I won't have the time to manage this idea myself, but I was wondering if anyone was willing to take up on it.
Most NRPs focus on warfare, invading other countries due to the antics of a megalomaniac bloodthirsty dictator, and elaborate descriptions of armed units. But what about an RP where we didn't go to war that easily? Most interactions would focus around cold diplomacy, sanctions and vetoes, and deals under tables and behind close doors. Military action would be taken as a last resort in this scenario, and even if it happened it would be more likely to be proxy wars than large-scale global conflicts.
It is 1951, and the War to end all Wars has ended. The superpowers of the world have thrown men, tanks, and planes at each other for seven years, claiming 55 million lives in the process. In the end, the Holy Empire of Domrovia, broken by the collective might of the war machines of the Grand Alliance, was invaded, its capital city Randenburg occupied, and most importantly - its major port city, Marendorf, annihilated by an Allied nuclear bomb. The newfound technology was developed by a union of Allied scientists, granting all members a degree of knowledge about the subject. By the end of the war, at least ten Coalition members had ongoing nuclear development projects. This didn't help cool the tension already going on between the Western States and the United Council, the two separate factions the Alliance split into over the newfound aconcept of welfarism, the idea that all people should have an equal amount of property - a stark challenge to the capitalist way of life in the West. Such are the two points of contention - but with the world just recovering from the bloodiest war in world history, another armed conflict is quite out of the question.
Nukes and socialism - what could go wrong?
