SINES III Blood and Steel

DO NOT POST YET

Setting:

Bloody wars across the worlds have raged. Britain-France sought to re-conquer North America resulting in death and destruction on both sides. The Poles sought to expand their empire, the Turks brought Christian Europe to its knees, and the juggernauts of India and China clashed. Now the once mighty Empire’s of Germany, Poland, the Arab Caliphate, and Mongolia are no more. Anarchist groups are rising along with new powers and Empires. Fascist and Communist ideologies are being theorized. The world will once more be awash in Blood and Steel.

Nation Background:

Players, stories, orders, countries, NPCs, updates, map.

Players - no limit. Anybody can join except religious people, right-wingers, left-wingers, capitalists, Nazi’s, socialists, mentally retarded, ugly, lesbian, gypsies, dinosaurs, white people, brown people, blacks, yellow people, Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Pagans, Heretics, homosexuals, witches, Satanists, hippies, liberals, conservatives and people who disagree with me.

Stories - not necessary, but very encouraged. Good storywriters would get bonuses based on their stories. Write bad stories and you get bad events though….

Orders - orders in a list. Please, not only stat-based and military orders - I encourage innovative solutions of various problems, like attaching AT mines to dogs, removing swamps and rainforests in massive programs, making government reforms and many other such GENOCIDE! Please be detailed (but not too detailed) do not give vague orders. PM required. And battle maps are good.

Countries - pick a NPC, create your own (tell me where and tell me some details - ruler, brief history, culture - and I will give you the stats) or start a rebellion or demand for independence. Note that these are not bound to succeed. If your country is in dire straits, you can switch country or flee and establish a “government in exile” and lead the resistance movement. Also, please read your nation background, and don’t act uncharacteristically for it. Rebel groups can be played of course.

If two or more players claim one nation and all of them really want it, they are encouraged to start a civil war and try to out rule the other player’s ruler. Genocide, atrocities, and destroying things for no reason in particular are encouraged. I like bloody-mindedness.

NPCs, I will play them, kind of. Same as the NPCs in all other NESes of late – but don’t expect them to roll over just because they’re NPC. As I’m the one playing them – fear them as much as PCs if not more. What terrible atrocities will I inflict on you?

Updates – I will, set a date and deadline for orders and stuff so I can update. The updates will be on the weekends. I want orders by Friday with the update on Saturday/Sunday I live in Bangalore India and thus I will be updating according to IST (Indian Standard Time). Got that you arrogant Western bastards? My time not yours.

Map – I will use the one Disenfranchised has made. I will put in cities (black circles), fortifications (line of black squares) and dissent areas (white area within nations), stalemated fronts, (red or yellow lines) Fortresses (bigger black squares)

Government
Your nation needs a system by which is manages its people. This is your Government. You can have different types of Governments, and can invent your own (For Example, Monarchy Communism), but keep it realistic, please. They all have their advantages and disadvantage, and switching between them carries its risks/benefits. Please think it over when you switch between Government types, as it will have an effect, sometime irreversible.

Example types of Government:

Fundamentalism, Multiparty Democracy, Theocracy, Monarchy, Constitutional Monarchy, Parliamentary Monarchy, 2-Party Democracy, Divine Monarchy, Absolute Monarchy

Different types of Governments, obviously, have different ways of doing things. Also, depending on your type of Government, companies might be more or less inclined to invest in your nation, and your citizen’s mood will be affected. Also, for some kind of of Governments, your Senate, or Parliament can overrule your action, or whatever you call your Legislative Representative Body. Below is a brief run-down of various Government-types, and how they work in this NES. Note that there are numerous variations and sub categories but this is the basic.

Democracy: This is what many consider the best type of Government. It is transparent, it is fairly efficient, and it truly represents the people. As we all know, this is the Government where the people choose their leaders. Most nations are democratic. You are generally in charge of things, you control the agenda, how’s you spend the eco, to a certain extent. As with all Governments, the Congress or Parliament or Congress must pass your initiative into law. Same with this NES. Now, usually your Government goes along with you. Want to increase the military? Sure. Want to spend on industry? Sure. However, for decisions, which are controversial, such as supporting a Fascist regime, or invading another country, you must get your Parliament or Congress (me) to approve of the measure. If they don't, then the matter dies. If you commit irrational decisions, as I, and thus your Congress or parliament sees fit, then they can overrule you. I will rarely overrule your actions, unless it is totally irrational. Irrational decisions include changing your nation's name to something weird, or randomly joining a nation. Democracy comes in different forms. They range from Multiparty Democracy to 2 Party Democracy to Federal Republic and whatever. They are all fairly self-explanatory.

Monarchy-Rule by a King or Emperor. You can have absolute monarchy, Divine Monarchy where the people view you as a God, Constituently or Parliamentary Monarchy and so on….

Fundamentalism - This is a very Religious Government type. The religion varies, but generally this is in a nation with its population being a large majority of one religion or another. One Supreme Leader, usually chosen by God, or so they think, is in control. Generally, the people are very supportive of the regime, unless you do stupid things. Your people can rebel, but it is rare. Religious Fervor keeps you in power however this harms scientific advancement.

Changing Government types is generally an unstable and difficult affair. It takes skill to do so, and will cause upheaval and possibly civil war. Yes bloody civil wars….I find civil wars fun…. It’s a good excuse to massacre your own people.

Technology Level

Will use the age system. It is the same as in other NESes of other people; of course the ages are not identical. You can always try to invent something that was invented later in OTL, or you can, if giving me a good reason why this should work within your current techno capabilities, invent something that was never invented. This begins in the Early Industrial Age/Middle Industrial for the most part. I won’t allow insanely fast tech advances. If things get unrealistically fast I will visit a new Dark Age upon you…

Early Industrial Age: Railroads, Ironclads, Cavalry, Infantry, and Artillery, Balloons (US Civil War Equivalent)

Middle Industrial Age: Dreadnoughts, Better rifles, hand-cranked machine guns, telegraph, better artillery, Anarchists and so on (1860’s to 1900’s)

Late Industrial Age: Early Tanks, Early Planes, Destroyers, Chemical Weaponry, Rapid Fire Machine-Guns, Mortars, Early Subs, Early Flamethrowers, Trench Warfare etc…(WWI equivalent)

Early Modern Age: Better Tanks, Better Fighters, Early Aircraft Carriers, National Socialist ideology , Marxism, Better Bombers, Radio…. (Post WWI equivalent)

Middle Modern Age- Panzers, Radar, Sonar, Better Aircraft Carriers, Better Subs, Hitler (Praise be unto him), Stalin (A god on earth) and of course the Atomic Bomb. Where would we be without you? (WWII equivalent)

Also simply because you advance an age does not mean you get all these advances. You may have to research them. Nay in fact you will probably have to research them. HAHAHA!! Suffer fools suffer!!

Military

That will, as of now, consist of army and navy (later to be joined by air force). These will be number-based as it gives more versatility. These will be represented in divisions and squadrons (at a later date, I might also add "capital ships" as a separate part of the navy).

What will you have in it? Anything that is allowed by your tech. level (see Technology Level)! Each “stat-growth” will increase any part of military by 5 (however, there could be exceptions). But know that if you have too large an army, your economy will probably suffer, as will perhaps, depending on your culture's stance on war, your confidence; of course, both could be restored by successful military campaigns.

Also note that 1 division represents 10,000 men, and 1 squadron 10 ships or 10 planes.

UUs - one per nation, but can be changed at any point (though the newly-“demoted” UU units will not be happy). I will keep a list of them, somewhere. Could be land, sea, or air at a later point. They will be separated from other units in the stats and are usually always at the Elite or Professional level unless something untoward happens. They are grown as normal units. Remember to keep them REALISTIC.

Training - it is done in levels. There are separate training stats for army, navy and air force, and it is grown with eco. points. UU is assumed to be one at the Elite or Professional level usually. If your army grows too quickly, there will be a chance of training level lowering because noobs are *******s.

Mobilization- Your army will not consist of 500 divisions or whatever at all times. Mostly you have a peacetime army, which is the small core. To increase the size of your army significantly during major wars you MUST mobilize and then you can conscript. Also you get 1 extra eco point each turn you are in mobilization to represent the production boost.

Conscription- will give you a certain amount of conscript divisions that you could specify if you want; of course, conscription, especially in democratic countries, tends to be quite unpopular, especially the large-scale variety... also Wartime mobilization is required for large scale conscription to occur. Peacetime conscription is possible but small numbers not millions.

Logistics-Logistical support is necessary for any real military operations, so you will probably have to invest 1 eco. point into each such operation, whether offensive or defensive(Unless it is your homeland); if involving a particularly-large army (or navy), you might have to invest more than one eco. point.

Deployment-Not all you troops will be all over your nation at all times. You will have to deploy your troops to specific areas to defend or attack. The area they are deployed to will be listed next to them. You can also set aside troops as reserves.

Training levels:

None-Rabble-Semi-Rabble-Tolerable-Normal-Better-Good-Very Good-Professional-Elite

Economy

This is a measure of how good your nation’s economy is doing. Each turn, you have “eco” to spend, which represent a portion of your budget. Note that you automatically spend enough to sustain whatever infrastructure, etc. you have in place. Consider the eco that you spend to be additional. Everything is sustained by your budget, although I reserve the right to make nasty random events occur, or positive ones, which will randomly change things, but never too drastically. In order to advance to the next eco level, you must invest your eco/turn+1 into your economy. There is no maximum eco level. You may invest as much into your economy as you like per turn.

Example:
Your economy is at level 1. You must invest 2 eco to boost your eco/turn to 2. You do not need to invest the eco required to boost your eco/turn to the next level immediately. You can invest over time.

Here are the eco levels, and a description of your economy, at each level:

Shattered (1) - Barely functioning (2) - Mostly Functioning (3) - Functioning (4) - Severe Depression (5) - Depression (6) - Recession (7) - Failing (8) - Stable (9) - Normal (10) - Above Normal (11) - Growing (12) - Strong (13) - Very Strong (14) - Prosperous (15) - Very Prosperous (16) - Extremely Prosperous (17) - Outstanding - (18) - Very Outstanding (19) - Powerhouse (20) - Superpower (21+)

(You can go higher than this)

In ones economic stats, one will now see that some people have stats that look like this:

Economy: XXXX (A/B/C/D). This is interpreted as follows:

XXXX - Verbal Description of your Economy
A - Eco required to raise economy to next level (B+1)
B - Eco you spend/turn (Don't forget Bonus eco, etc.)
C - Eco that you have banked, and can spend anytime.
D - Eco that you owe other people, your Debt. Note that this goes up over time, due to Interest.

So, the above person has A invested to increase their economy, they can spend B in one turn, and they have C banked, which means that they spend that C eco anytime they like. Furthermore, they owe D to other countries. If you have any questions about this vital part of this NES, just ask me.

Also you should note that the economy can also be boosted by innovative economic policies and ideas and such. Or you could simply rape another country loot them nude, and enslave them. That’s always fun to do.

Miscellanous Stats

Those stats below are all grown with eco. points, but, like with growing economy itself, you are supposed to point out what exactly you are doing.

Education

This is just how your people are... educated, I guess. Obvious enough. With a good education, you have better chances of receiving a “miraculous invention”. It also affects just how advanced are your weapons, and thus the success of your army in a battlefield.

Once someone reaches Enlightenment education, he becomes able to randomly to get the next age at any following turn. When he does, he loses two education levels. Don’t count on discovering all the scientific advancements instantly though. You have to research them next. HA HA!

None-Dumb-Illiterate-Tolerable-Literate-Educated-Well Educated-Academic-Enlightenment

Culture

This is how culturally strong, patriotic and unified your nation is. A nation with a strong culture is less likely to fall into a civil war, and its people would resist most invaders and otherwise help their government. This also influences army morale. A weak culture is unlikely to be as resistant to outside threats; there are often rebellions and defections. The higher your culture is, the higher are the chances of assimilating less militant minorities. And even if you are occupied the invaders might get assimilated.

None-Divided-Untrusting-Average-Strongly Cultured-Patriotic-Hyperpatriotic-Jingoist-Uberpatriotic

Confidence

People can be fiercely unified and patriotic, but they will not necessarily like their ruler - in fact, a strongly cultured nation with little confidence in its leaders can, in its cultural unity, lynch the rulers and fire their remains from cannons. Into the huge pot filled with boiled sharks. Not that the rulers will care by then... You can grow confidence by economy (propaganda), but wouldn’t it be easier to write a speech or persuade the people that you are the leader they need? If it’s a junk speech I’ll have your leader lynched by an angry mob.

Lynching-Hateful-Resentful-Barely Tolerating-Tolerating-Respecting-Admiring-Loving-Nation Personified

Infrastructure

Roads, bridges, boats - all things used for transportation of goods and men - are listed under infrastructure. The higher is your infrastructure, the easier it is to move your (or enemy) troops across your territory; also, infrastructure could sometimes slightly grow economic benefits from trade centers, and it is a must for maintenance of a high culture level in large empires, as well as actually maintaining your grip on faraway provinces.

None-Dirt Paths-Pathetic-Barely Tolerable-Tolerable-Improving-Good-Efficient-Very Efficient-Great-Excellent

Leadership

Whether military or civilian, leadership is an important factor. Competent military leaders will successfully carry out plans or will even attain some successes on their own without orders; competent bureaucrats will greatly help all government programs and assist the development of the land. But incompetent generals will even with the best plan stagger and blunder, while incompetent civilian administrators will embezzle funds and otherwise will be corrupt. So, this is quite crucial, and cadre preparation thus should be an important priority.

None-Imbecile-Moronic-Stupid-Incompetent-Barely Tolerable-Tolerable-Competent-Better-Good-Brilliant

Projects

Modernization programs, national revival, technology development, canal digging, and other PROJECTS. You tell me what it does; I tell you how long do you build it. You don’t have to mention it is being worked on every turn.

Intelligence

You can always PM me and ask me for intelligence information - like rebel groups, military positions, etc. However, the information you receive might - not be received at all, received not fully, be inaccurate, be downright lies. In your orders, you can order to spend more eco. Points into counterintelligence/disinformation, which decreases the chances of your enemy's success in espionage.

Complaining to the Mod

You can complain me however if you are rude or annoy me I will whip you with a leather strap. Oh yeah BDSM….

Nation Background

To better fit in as the ruler of your country, you will have a brief history of each country. It will change as the NES goes, TIME TO TIME - after the end of a major era, such as the beginning/end of a world war, rise/fall of an empire, and other such. However I’m lazy so don’t count on it.

Alliances and Organizations:

You can form any alliance or organization that you want. I will post it, and the nations in it, and a brief description in one if these posts. Simply PM me the desired agreement, nations joined, and the description, and I will post that. If you want NPC nations to join, you must ask me. Also kindly make threads of these types of alliances and organizations separate from the main NES.

Nation Background: It has been a long time since Mongol armies rode forth leaving death and destruction in their wake. The Mongol Empire is a shadow of its former self, the Khan a figurehead with no power. The Mongol situation is bleak. The local warlords rule and the Empire is backward. But perhaps a powerful Khan could bring the local warlords to heel and set the Empire on the path of modernization and reform. But who?

Nation Background: Annam’s independence was secured from China by India after the war. The country collapsed immediately into infighting and civil war resulting in Chinese intervention that seized the northern half of the country before leaving only due to Indian threats. Finally a General seized power and imposed his brutal rule upon the country. Annam has little hope for the future….

Nation Background: The Abyssinians hemmed in by the Mali, the Ottomans, the Arabs, and the Zulu to the south have finally begun to take notice of their dire situation and attempted to modernize.

Nation Background: Poland was once master of Eastern Europe. An Empire stretching from the Caucuses to the gates of Berlin, till Denmark and into Finland at its zenith. Alas no longer. Terrible wars against its neighbors have sapped it of its land and prestige and much of its power. Pushed back from Berlin, forced out of Denmark, overrun in the Ukraine, decimated in Finland. Germans, Swedes, Russians, British-French, and Turks were responsible for Polish defeat. That has not been forgotten nor forgiven and the intact military core desires revenge….

Polska ne zginela!

A few questions now:
a) What year is this?
b) When did the "War of Polish Collapse" take place?

Nation Background: Sweden-Denmark-Norway suffered terribly in wars against the Poles, Germans, and British-French. However they have finally succeeded in pushing the Poles out of Finland and successfully defended Norway against German and British invasion. Now that the SDN is on the rise their eyes turn to taking back Denmark from the Germans or perhaps moving against Poland….

I'll take these guys.

Nation Background: The Sublime Porte…. the Master of the Middle East, True Defender of the Faith. The Empire is at its zenith. It occupies land deep inside the heart of Christian Europe. The Ottomans advanced all the way to the gates of Berlin and Warsaw before being pushed back by the combined forces of all of Europe. Currently the Empire is consolidating and preparing to march again. Who dares stand against the Sublime Porte?

Viva la Ottomans!!!

Projects:
Nation Background: Poles, Turks, Swedes, Germany has suffered a great many invasions and has only managed to survive intact due to the help of their British-French allies. Poland got as far as Berlin and before being pushed back by British-French counterattacks and it was a similar situation with the Ottomans. Germany is a weakened and devastated nation strong rule is required to rebuild not only the nation but also the confidence of the people. Here too “disturbing” groups are arising and the only functioning institution seems to be the battle-hardened military.

I'm seriously tempted to take the U.S... but I'm just going to wait one or two updates, though, before deciding.

We would like to enquire how the Sublime Port itself thinks about negotiating?

To Spain
From the Ottoman Empire and his most esteemed Majesty the Sultan

Surrender your remaining Holdings in Italy, the Islands of Corsia and Sardinia along with ceding your African holdings too Tunisa and we shall have peace and agree to push no further into Europe.

Nation Background: The Americans rebelled against the British-French driving them to only their holdings in Canada. However the British-French soon regrouped and counterattacked seizing the entire Eastern coastline and the Great Lakes territory in a bloody war. Despite the terrible loss the United States survives and dreams of vengeance against the British-French. A vengeance that may come especially with the rise of separatist movements in occupied territory. Can the US regain its lost territory?
