[OOC] Precipice of War - The Big Leagues of NRP (Only generous tippers need apply)

@Letter BeeIt's 1940's tech isn't it?

@The Wyrm

I always took it to mean that military tech is 1940s; civilian tech should be a bit more advanced, though not as advanced as IRL.

[DELETED32084]

That’s absurd... Must civilian tech is a result of military tech...

@The Wyrm

Then my inventions are viable with 1940s' tech.

Edit: Look, you guys wanted an R&D process, and Vilage told me on Steam he was fine with my fertilizer and windmills even before I posted details of my R&D process today. Well, I gave you details of my R&D process. You have it; it might have been a bit quick, but you still have it. So there is no reason for arguing, and I most definitely do not want an argument.

Broke my hiatus once more; I had inspiration.

Also, I showed my work as regards scientific stuff this time (And by that, I showed everyone how Archibald's R&D works, as well as the processes behind it).

And here is the IRL basis:

All IRL inventions/discoveries viable with 1950s' technology.

@Letter Bee

Reposting to avoid Bottom of the Page Syndrome.

And again, Vilage said on Steam he was fine with my windmills and fertilizer.

[Letter Bee]

Apologies to everyone yet again. Deleted my post.

[Pepperm1nts]

If you find that you have to constantly apologize for something, maybe don't do that thing so much.

[EveryMemeAKing]

Not sure if it's a bit too late to do this, as it's been 5 days since the last post, but I don't think this counts as Necro-Posting, so here goes.

I'm throwing my interest in here, if it's okay.

[Byrd Man]

Five days ain't shit with this RPG. It's active as fuck. Birches need to post, but it's active. So apply.

@Byrd Man

Great, though I have a question. The map on the Character Sheet's page and the Original Post in the OOC section have different maps, which one should I use to apply?
Ignore this, I got it now.

Edit: @Byrd Man, looking at claims, it seems that Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon are all currently unclaimed.

If possible, I'd like to claim those territories

[Byrd Man]

Make a sheet. Claims don't do anything here.

[EveryMemeAKing]

@Byrd Man

Oh, okay. I'll start working on it now.

[TheEvanCat]

Yeah, the Middle East is kind of a nebulous area. After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire it's just been kind of "yeah, there are Arab states... I guess." You can take a look at me (Armenia) and Chap (Turkey) for the base behind the history, which boils down to "Arab Revolt and then choose your own adventure after that."

Thanks. Will do now.

Assyrian Free State

Location (on map):

Map

Assyria is the teal coloured nation in North Iraq/North Syria

History:

History

As the door opened on the 20th century and a new chapter of history would be written, the Assyrians were simply one of the dozen oppressed ethnic groups inside of the Ottoman Empire. As the Ottomans joined the Great War, the Assyrians saw an opportunity to change that. As the Turkish forces were bogged down in trench warfare, dying by the tens of thousands, the Assyrians prepared for revolution. Nearing the end of the Great War, the Assyrians would officially begin their revolt against the Ottomans, by 1920, the lands of Northern Iraq were only Ottoman in name, and by the time the war ended in 1921, the Ottoman forces left their territories in the Middle East, allowing the former Ottoman lands to decide their own fate.

By 1922, the Republic of Assyria was an independent, self ruling nation, but it was divided in multiple factions all wanting to rule the territory for itself. The ruling party, and the main drivers of the revolution, were the Assyrian Freedom Party (formally known as the Assyrian Independence Force), this group consisted of several of the more wealthy members of the Assyrian populace. Other parties in the Republic consisted of The People's Party of Assyria (formally known as the Assyrian People's Liberation Front), the Assyrian Democratic Party (a splinter group of the Assyrian Independence Force), and the Chaldean Party (formally known as The Lord's Army of Resistance). During the revolution, these groups were forced to work together, but now, as Assyria was independent, it would seem that they would begin to already tear the newly formed nation apart. The election of 1926 would be a perfect illustration of the tension, as each party would get over 20% of the vote, with the Assyrian Freedom Party getting enough to win the election.

The first major event regarding the Republic would be the Kurdish revolution of 1928, in which a large amount of the Kurdish minority in the Republic would attempt to revolt. Barely recovered from the independence war that the Assyrians themselves fought only 8 years earlier, it would be a long and bloody conflict. The government of Assyria, in response to the revolt, would massacre thousands of innocent Kurds in an attempt to try and sway the tides of the war, and in response, the Kurdish armies only fought harder. By the end of the war, the Assyrians declared themselves victors, having slaughtered 1/4th of the Kurdish population left in their Republic.

By the election of 1938, the Assyrian Freedom Party has grown unpopular with the people of Assyria, and in response, they would vote the Assyrian Democratic Party. With this move, the new government would begin reforms that they felt would help modernize Assyria. The first would be the adoption of a parliamentary system, getting rid In a terribly unpopular move, the second would be the creation of a true constitution, and the third would be the seizing of Non-Assyrian owned businesses. These moves would see the ADP become extremely popular with the nationalists of Assyria, while it would be frowned upon by some of the surrounding smaller Arabian states. Though all wasn't fine inside of the Free State, the People's Party of Assyria would radicalize by the day, and the Nationalist group known as the National Worker's Association of Assyria (NWAA) would start to gain traction, creating mass tension throughout the Republic.

The day was September 1st, 1943. It was peaceful in the city of Mosul, capital of Assyria, when a shot rang out throughout the streets. The leader of Assyria was shot, assassinated by a radical member of the People's Party of Assyria, and with his death a civil war would spark between the government and communist revolutionaries. The Red Front of Assyria would quickly take large areas of territory located in the Northern Syrian areas of Assyria. In the chaos of the civil war, the NWAA would start their own revolt in the southern territories of the Republic. The interim leader of the Assyrian Republic would install martial law as a response to the chaos.

With little influence from outside powers, the Assyrian Civil War would be a hard fought conflict. By 1947, the government of the republic would start to once again gain ground against the revolutionaries. The collapse of the NWAA in November of that year would spark a new fervor inside the government's forces, and by 1949, the Communist Revolutionaries would also be wiped out. At the end of the war, the Execution of both the Communist and Nationalist leader would be televised all across Assyria. In 1950, the first year that a new election should have been held, the leader of Assyria would call off the election and declare himself ruler of the new Assyrian Free State.

By 1960, Assyria has mostly recovered from the chaos of the earlier decades, and they now set their eyes on creating a stable Assyria that won't fall to the influence of outside powers.

Other:

Religion

The Assyrian Free State is a mostly Christian nation, with smaller Sunni minorities found in the Kurdish populations in their Syrian territories, and some Shi'ite minorities being found in the other Arabian tribes that may populate the Free State

Racial Makeup

The majority population of the Assyrian Free State is made up of Assyrians, with the largest minority still being Kurdish despite being massacred before. There are also smaller minorities of Turkish, Armenian, and other Arabic varieties.

[Byrd Man]

I liked just the Assyrian Free State better. Need more details on the client states and how they got the way.

@Byrd Man

Right, in that case, I'm just going to go back to Assyrian Free State idea if that's okay.

[TheEvanCat]

Yeah, I like the idea of Assyria and the Kurdish conflict that's going on (although Mosul may need to be re looked at.)

But the Mosul Pact is stretching it... a lot. It's falling into that NRP trope of wanting to blob your country, and in this case it doesn't make sense either considering the factors at play in the Middle East and your country. We also don't have any explanation about it, which hurts your case even more.

Edit: Yeah, ninja'd while writing the post.

[NecroKnight]

@MetalLover

Plus they are Christians also...

[Dinh AaronMk]

The client states do feel a big forced in there. It's fine you want the territory, but stuff like this should probably be done in IC if need be.
