Hello and welcome to World in Revolution; 1900. The date is January 1st, 1900, and the Boxer Rebellion rages on, the Ch'ing Dynasty is on the verge of collapse, and with it years of influence from Western nations. You, the player, must now take the reigns of a nation and lead it through this turbulent and troubling time. Although the Boxer Rebellion and other events in Asia will be a big part of the early stages, it is not the only focus of the game, and any nation is up for grabs.
Nation Registration: open/CLOSED
Procedures
The procedures for this game will be fairly simple. You send orders to me or another GM should this game get too large for one person to handle (as has happened in the past). The orders will then be rolled and presented by me (or another GM) in an update. Each round of orders will be the span of one year. There will also be war updates, which occur (obviously) during a war, as well as mini-updates which can happen at any time.
Orders work as thus:
Tier I: Britain, France, Germany, Russia.
Tier II: US, Austria, Italy, Japan.
Tier III: Spain, Brazil, China, Netherlands.
Tier IV: Belgium, Bulgaria, Greece, Ottoman Empire, Portugal, Romania, Serbia.
Tier V: Afghanistan, Canada, Persia, South Africa.
Tier I gets two NFs, two normal orders, four war orders, and a treaty order.
Tier II gets an NF, three normal orders, four war orders, and a treaty order.
Tier III gets an NF, two normal orders, and three war orders.
Tier IV gets an NF, a normal order, and two war orders.
Tier V gets two normal orders and two war orders.
Orders are due every Wednesday with the update posted on Saturday, unless I say otherwise.
Orders are sent to the GM via private message with the title formatted as; 'WiR - Nation Name - Year'. Example (and this is a heavily simplified version):
WiR - Belgium - 1900
Order One (nf): Increase the level of factories.
Order Two: Perform naval exercises off the coast.
Order Three: Build a railway from Ghent to Antwerp.
Order Four: Spread Belgian influence in the Congo further east.

Rules
1) Remain civilized at all times.
2) I am, like Outcast, not the US Marines, I am in-fact in the Spetznaz, and I do leave people behind. If you don't get your orders in on time, you will not be included in the update, and you will have to catch up next week.
3) Keep things realistic. I understand that it is unlikely that we will be following the OTL to the letter, but that doesn't mean you can go and invent nuclear weapons in 1880 or release a tribe of smallpox-infested African Gorillas in downtown London. (However airborne ebola is okay for the lulz)
4) Don't be afraid of losing a war.
5) Don't be too harsh in war settlements/reparations. This is how Fascists are created. Nobody likes fascists.
6) THERE IS NO RULE SIX IN THIS EITHER BRO.
7) Don't start wars unnecessarily or at the drop of a hat. Try diplomacy first.
8) All treaties/alliances made secretly MUST be sent to me also. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.
9) No editing IC posts except to correct grammatical errors.
10) Wars can only end with a mutually agreed upon Peace Treaty. This includes if a nation is wiped out completely (see rule 5).
11) Declarations of War are final, and cannot be taken back. Only a Peace Treaty may resolve the conflict, even if no fighting occurs.
12) All Mobilization by countries must be announced 24 Hours before the official order deadlines.
13) All IC posts must include either your nation's name or flag.
14) If you are AWOL for more than three updates, you will be dropped and your nation up for grabs. You can reapply, but someone else may have taken your old nation. Warnings will be given out first.
15) I am not infallible. In fact, I fall pretty often. If you have a concern, feel free to ask, but don't get snarky with me.
16) My word, alongside any other GM, is final.
