This is my revision. Hope you guys like it! Please point out any flaws.
Welcome to the
Create a Nation thread! In here you can start a new nation, trade with other players to build up your economy, form alliances, make rivalries with other nations, construct new railways, create a space program, build new cities, improve energy, or even go to war! The concept is simple, you begin your nation and build up as your nation progresses. How does your nation progress? You influence what happens to your nation! Will you depend on trade and alliances for prosperity? Will you use power and force? It's all in your control. Just remember, we are here to have fun, so don't be disheartened if your nation happens to fail or become killed, just start over again!
Getting Started
Once you start your nation, you will chose three peices of land on which to build your country. The lands must be adjadecent, and can't be too big. (ex: Germany, Denmark, Poland). From there, your story will begin. You will start with a GDP of $50 Billion, and as your build your country up this number will rise. You can create weapons, build new cities, and declare war. As you get richer, you influence will spread, and you can annex new lands. To start, fill out the application below.
Rules and Regulations
1. What the other mods say goes.
2. No excessive foul language.
3. You must have a reason to attack another player. (For example, you cannot invade for fun. Be realistic! Don't go around killing other nations!)
4. Take the game somewhat seriously.
5. Don't do unrealistic things.
6. You cannot develop nuclear weapons until 25 years after you create your nation.
7. You cannot have manned space travel until 10 years after you create your nation.
8. You cannot have manned planet expeditions until 60 years after you create your nation.
9. Don't post YouTube Videos, or unrelated images.
10. Don't claim land occupied by a major NPC (see below)
Storyline
In the year 2014, Iran completed it's nuclear weapons program, and launched four missiles at New York, London, Berlin and Los Angeles. All four cities were obliterated. This prompted World War III, in which the NATO and Israel declared war on Iran, as well at Russia, China and North Korea. No country won the war, and all major cities in the participating countries were destroyed, except for Jerusalem. The 50 US States broke apart, and today the leading world power is India, with a global population of five billion. Most countries have gotten back to their feet, and many former third-world countries are now major powers. Most of Europe was wiped out with the exception of Scandinavia.China and Russia are both now wastelands, occupied by refugees, war survivors, and bandits.
List of leading AI countries: (these cannot be claimed)
1. India (GDP: 12 trillion)
2. Brazil (GDP: 7 trillion)
3. Australia (GDP: 6 trillion)
4. Mexico (GDP: 4 trillion)
5. Saudi Arabia (GDP: 3 trillion)
Note: Claiming devastated lands (such as parts of Russia, or most of Europe) will give you an equal land to a non-devastated land. It means it doesn't matter.
Land claiming
Some lands are too big to claim.
-The US is divided into states.
-Canada is divided into it's territories.
-Australia is in territories.
-Russia is in oblasts. Bandits and refugees will make it hard to maintain the land.
-China is in the same situation as Russia.
-Britian is one land, Northern Ireland is claimed as the rest of Ireland.
You can't claim a leading AI country or another player's land unless you conquer them.
Timekeeping
For now, one real life day will equal one season. There are four seasons which make up the in-game year (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, in that order). This is subject to change.
Current year: Fall 2014
Note:
Be realistic. You can't start with nukes, or spaceships, or lasers.
