Bio

she/her pronouns. I'm interested in a wide variety of roleplays, but I tend toward prefering High Fantasy and High Sci Fi settings (think Elder Scrolls or Warhammer 40k). Whether it's a Nation Roleplay (I love digging into fictional politics) something on a smaller, individual scale, or something in between, there's a good chance I might be interested! I especially enjoy fantasy setting with weird, esoteric fluff - up to and including the nonsense that happens in Elder Scrolls, or, occasionally, Age of Sigmar.

Fave settings /period/ are Warcraft, and Golarion. WH40k and AoS are close.

What I meant to say was that hereditary diseases are a different situation than, say, giving someone fins, gills, or four extra arms. I'm essentially saying that adding new physical functions to someone is going to add a whole new can of worms to genetic modification, and comes with its own set of challenges.

I think the less serious you take that comment about human squids the better.Chances are most genetic modifications will be more internal work. Stuff like ridding of hereditary diseases or picking your child's physical appearance out. More intense modification I have no clue on.

I feel like that level of genetic modification would not only be extremely resource intensive, but likely require ages of physical therapy to cope with such huge changes in terms of motor function. It'd also likely be an incredibly painful change unless the subject was put far, far, far, under. Imho, even with such advanced tech, such drastic modifications would still most likely be incredibly complicated.
I feel like an Ocean planet would be nice, though, hell, we could always design its life to be rather early in development compared to us. Stuff more along the lines of Cambrian-Silurian life, if you will.

Aside from that, though, I do have a quick question regarding Artificial Intelligence/Robotics. Considering the shortage of manpower we're dealing with, I was going to have my nation make extensive use of both AI and robots. Namely, artificial intelligence would fill in the holes left by a shortage of scientists and administrators, whereas more basic robots would fill in the holes in manual labour and as footsoldiers. Would that kind of thing be allowed?

You have too many marked territories, you'll need to cut one. As well the EEDS still sounds like a direct annexation of the member nations than a political partnership like, say, NATO or the Central American Parliament. And I think we can remove the whole Germany-going-WW2 thing, it was silly and stupid to begin with.


A direct annexation? I thought I explained that the other three agreed to join of their own free will.
Alright, I'll cut it to Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia.
Rough draft of my app. I cut down member nations, and put quite a lot more into the formation of the EEDR. It should (hopefully) make sense now.

Name of Nation: Eastern European Democratic Republic

Territories: Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia

History: Throughout the 21st century, continued Polish economic growth allowed the nation to become one of the most economically strong and stable nations as the decades went by. Continued Russian aggression in Eastern Europe fostered continued focus on Polish military technology, along with promotion of Polish patriotism that allowed for massive growth in military size as the nation’s population began to fear potential invasion by the Russian federation. Taking note of Poland’s economic and military growth, other Eastern European nations grew especially close to the country, seeing as it was the only nation in Eastern Europe with a particularly strong military and economy. Hungary, already having an extremely close relationship with Poland, formed an official military and economic alliance with Poland in hopes of discouraging invasion by an opportunistic Russia which now had a foothold in the Ukraine.

The Polish government accepted the offer, formalizing their relationship with Hungary with the formation of the Eastern European Coalition of Democratic States, (EECDS), which would eventually transform into the EEDR. The European Union quickly began to break apart as the 21st century continued on, forcing nations like the Czech Republic and Slovakia to look to the EECDS for assistance as they too began to flounder.

Eventually, the three nations were accepted into the EECDS, military buildup only growing in prominence as the 21st century marched on. Especially with the growing political unrest in Europe and Germany in particular, the EECDS feared an invasion by the neighboring nations that were once its friends and was preparing for such with massive amounts of funding poured into military research and production. When the German invasion came, the EECDS was more than prepared.
The antiquated, tried-and-tested tactics of Germany proved to be their downfall against a nation that had so eagerly accepted and desperately engaged in military modernization. In many cases, German Blitzkrieg was unable to break the defenses of the military forts scattered across the EECDS before reinforcements arrived, and found its antiquated methods hard-pressed to defeat EECDS use of guided missiles, hypersonic aircraft, and DEWs. Polish Kommandosow earned special praise in WWIII for repeated assaults on Germany bases and supply depots using HAHO jumps, causing extensive damage to German supply lines along with GROM raids against German field command. Hungarian Special Forces frequently engaged in ambushes on Germany armored columns, while JW Formoza earned praise for sabotage against German ports and shipping convoys. The EECDS saw the most casualties against the IDF for their utilization of more modern tactics, though conflict with the IDF did not continue once Germany lost the ability to continue hiring the IDF and after the war ended.

By the end of WWIII, the EECDS had caused extensive damage to the German military and the German industrial machine, but showed little interest in occupying Germany. Quite simply, the EECDS mostly left Germany as-is, avoiding anything resembling the post-WWI restrictions placed on Germany in an effort to improve their international image and to avoid fostering hostility in Germany towards their coalition. Although the EECDS did assist German civilians, little assistance was provided to the German government or military, and the EECDS did make sure to doggedly hunt down and destroy whatever military technology the Germans had captured from them.

Throughout the Third World War, already strong relations between the four countries that would become the EEDR only strengthened. Though it may appear initially that the EEDR was formed out of fear, the reality is that harsh conflict and the sharing of a common goal served to break down ethnic and religious barriers and allow the EEDR to form throughout cooperation rather than fearmongering or sheer necessity. Because Poland was very evidently the strongest and most dominant nation in what was the EECDS, the EEDR was only able to form through democratic vote once power had been more evenly spread throughout the four member-states of the EECDS. Poland’s surprising economic growth allowed it to stimulate the growth of the other three nations. By strengthening its allies, Poland hoped to expand its own industry, damage other European powers, and improve its image on the international stage.

The EEDR was officially formed by way of democratic vote shortly after WWIII ended. The formation of the EEDR, due to the complicated ethnic differences between its many cultures, was finally accomplished by use of a deliberative-democratic system that sought to eliminate concerns of a government being heavily centered on Poland. Encouraging the growth of companies in the Czech Republic, and Hungary both helped to alleviate the concerns of non-poles and strengthen the EEDR’s economy, while an electoral system based entirely on the vote of the people (and which required a significant majority of votes) ensured that, even were the entire Polish population to vote for something, a significant numbers of Hungarians, Czech, and Slovakians must also vote for the same thing for it to be passed. In addition, in the case of lawmaking, a senatorial system that was based on political affiliation instead of location helped remove concerns of ethnocentrism from the minds of the people.

Not only were extensive measures taken to encourage smooth interactions between the peoples of the EEDR as it formed, but the formation of the EEDR provided an enticing offer to the governments of its founding members. Poland had already become an economic superpower thanks to its continued growth in the early 21st century, and, thanks to military buildup due to a fear of encroachment by hostile governments, not only did it become a military power, but its economy was only further stimulated by industry growth. Poland was a major global power, militarily, technologically, and economically, and especially considering its friendly behavior towards the other three members of the EECDS, their governments were effectively guaranteed stability and protection by allowing the EEDR to form.
Making edits to my app. I'm making it into a military/economic coalition instead of, well, "lol giant nation becuz"
Wait, so are humans allowed or not? I was thinking about creating a human nation, but I'm not sure what the absolute starting maximum of their tech would, nor if I can even use humans.

Just post feggit.It's been a year after a massive fifteen year war. I'm sure the last thing anyone wants is another massive war.


I know, but who doesn't want Poland to EJACULATE JUSTICE?
I need someone to cause a spectacle about. All I want is to launch a massive military invasion.

I'll probably call it operation "EJACULATE JUSTICE" or something.
