The Iron Curtain: A Cold War NRP

Okay but how are things done, we could literally have anything happen, and how will war work? There must be some kind of structure...

The Iron Curtain: A Cold War NRP

Okay someone please explain to me the logistics of how this RP is going to work

The Iron Curtain: A Cold War NRP

Nation's full name: Democratic People's Republic of Korea
Population: 9,000,000
Current leader's name: Kim Il Sung
Allegiance: Non-Aligned
Military strength: Aprox 135,000 men

(If you want I can give South Korea's Stats too?)

Ah, I get you. That makes sense.

That way you don't have to use leaders you don't want (you don't have to use Honecker for example) but instead of inventing someone to take his place you research into real people who existed then and find which ones you think would be appropriate. That way we will avoid people just inventing the "perfect politician" who will avoid all the situations they don't want without any kind of limitations. if they want say, a moderate reformer they look up moderate reformers in their country...If they want a brutal dictator they look into for example, extremist faction leaders or whatever suits them. The point is they are looking into real people and not just making up their ideal person and it's still alt history.

Not necessarily. As long as said fictional leader sticks to the main ideology of the country they lead then there shouldn't be huge problems. I might not even use Honecker, for example.

What I mean to say is, instead of just inventing someone, a person should look into say...Politicians, political theorists, academics, military leaders...Whatever they want. You know, real people that existed and choose with them instead of making someone up. There's plenty of real life people who would fit. Like for example, If I wanted to go alt history I could say, pick one of Kim Jong Il's brothers to take over instead of him. It would still be someone who never was leader in real life but at the same time is a real person.

If you want to play with Kim Il-Sung as your leader then go right ahead.

Yes, however I worry about allowing people to just...Invent someone....It could lead to problems

Because this is alt history for the most part, we can also have fictional leaders. I'd imagine some might remain the same though.

I hope this means we can just choose who we want to be leader out of existing real people and not "make someone up" right?

Playing as East Germany, my immediate goal will likely be getting my hands on West Berlin :P.

Good luck my fellow country divided by the evils of western imperialism :P

Of course! Anything past 1950 is going to be made up by us. We don't have to stick to facts.

I will of course be sticking to the Juche idea and raise a fierce wind of making a fresh leap forward on all fronts of building a thriving country filled with confidence in victory!

....For real and not just words perhaps :P
