Oh, since I've been thinking on this, what exactly is the world wide technology level currently? Has it been taken back to modern times or before because of world war three and the economical collapses, or is it 2030 era technology?

Even in your more reasonable case does there exist a chance to expose 'subfactionalism', as we may call it, within the Middle East. Obviously the grand Sunni-Shia split and their various branches, but also the case of the Bahá'í Faith, Mandaeism, the Yazidis that we hear so much of nowadays, Ibadi Muslims in Oman, the whole Wahhabi bunch of shenanigans, the status of Israel and the Jewish state.Not to mention the dual-denominations of Christianity in the Balkan peninsula and the Greek peninsula and insular territories.And I'll conclude this by noting that nigh all historical 'superstates' if they can be called such exploited superfactionalism above nationalism or religious factionalism to maintain their power and control. Take, for example, the case of the Habsburg supremacy in Austria, the policies of the Sublime Porte in the Ottoman Empire, the whole states' rights vs federal power in the USA, cult-development and hyperstatism as well as oppressive policies in the USSR and to some extent the latter Yugoslavia, ethnic classism in various Chinese dynasties, indeed, even in my own Crimean state here does there exist a cohesive federal ideology centred about sometimes forceful national disregard and oft-violent 'enforcement' of socioeconomic equality. All of these examples highlight the importance of controlling factionalism in a superstate.


Oh, I know. Even united by religion(And even that's not fully united as you said), there's still ethnicity and the blood thats been lost between those various groups, not even counting the trouble with maintaining the Balkans, which is still the powderkeg its been since WW1, albeit, not as much for the world. I chose it as a lesser evil sort of thing; it's not nearly fully realistic, but I'm trying to get at least somewhere there. As this RP isn't focused on realism persay, I didn't mind as much in regards to making it as realistic as I could for this RP, as that's clearly not its focus. It would certainly be fun to do something like this while fully accounting for the various ethnic conflicts, religious splits, and diversity, however. I thought I'd set back and relax a bit and not go full realism, as I haven't RP'd here for a long time, and I don't want to go all out. However you do raise a lot of good points in what you say. There's also the ethnic manipulation the USSR(And PRC to a lesser degree now) that happened, such as forcibly removing all Germans from eastern europe and moving the various peoples of eastern europe around. For example, today Poland is around 99% Polish because of the USSRs meddling, which is unprecedented for almost all countries(Naturally, anyway).

94% Polish, apparently. That's probably from post cold war immigration. Probably.
I went with religion, considering that's fairly easy to justify and an objective of a fair bit of people in that part of the world nowadays.
Sakaki, want to work on the borders of the balkans, since no one is interested in them other than us?(Except for Hungary as a certain someone wants them for the German Empire)

And it depends on when exactly your country was formed.
Could I have the Ottoman Empires borders at its fullest extent(Without Hungary), with Iran, the Arabian Peninsula, Afghanistan, Pakistan and all those central asian countries with "stan" in their name? I can never remember their exact names.

The way you put this makes it sound like I'm going to be hanged.


I was going to suggest firing squad, but this can also work.
Sure thing, put eet up. We'll have to figure a way to work out what we can do with Tatsua.
Oh, I just mean in general. I'm neither for or against the app in specific. I'm just talking about the villains as a whole having stronger abilities. I'm sure the Admin will speak to that RPer and find a much much happier middle ground.
Stronger villains means stronger heroes to counter. So it may not be a good thing for us, thinking about it.
What do we do if our character doesn't use a specific appearance?
