Simple IOT

This IOT is a callback to simpler days. Not IOT 1 simple, but simple nonetheless. All rules are down below.

It will be using the map from IOT V, which for reference is over here.



Claiming/Colonies


Trade


Combat/Military


Technology


To join in, choose 5 provinces, a color, and a name. RPing will be rewarded in various ways, and powergaming will be punished in a way that I shall decide based on the severity. Updates should be once every three days, allowing you time to have diplomacy, make strategies, and backstab your closest friends. I reserve the right to change update speed at my leisure.

Country Name: The New Kingdom of Israel

Country Color: Blue

Type of Government: Constitutional Monarchy

History: ((I realize that Moshe Dayan only became the Chief of Staff in 1953)) Before the nuclear war, Israel was already at a high security threat. The surrounding Arab countries constantly attempted to "push the Jews back to the sea". Because of this, Chief of Staff (or Ramatkal) Moshe Dayan created large underground bunkers in case of a missile crisis. When nuclear war finally broke out, the Arabs wasted no time in testing Israel's defenses. The Ramatkal, with the approval of the Knesset, ordered martial law and took control. He took the population into the bunkers he had built and they waited. Soon, the fallout killed off the enemy Arabs and the Israelis began to emerge from their subterranean bases. They soon rebuilt Israel. Moshe Dayan was still in charge, though the people did not totally approve. Sensing the hostility, Moshe Dayan declared Israel a constitutional monarchy, similar to the former UK but with changes. Instead of an heir, the population elected the king who would rule for life. The Knesset still had power too, and a checks and balances system was soon incorporated. Because of the new government, King Dayan declared Tel-Aviv the new capitol. This was a wise choice for two reasons. The first was the ocean. A steady supply of fish helped the Israeli population boom. The second was symbolic. Tel-Aviv roughly means Spring out of the Ruins and is the Hebrew title of Herzl's book Altneuland, which outlined the idea for a Jewish state back in 1902. Making Tel-Aviv the capitol meant that this Israel was like spring blooming in the ruined cities of the Middle East.

OK, that looks like enough to get started. Sign-ups are still open (We needs more people in Africa, India, and Asia in general!), and when I say so, this game is a-go! Just have to get the map all done.

Edit: THE GAME BEGINS! All orders must be turned in by 3:00 PM Central US Time on June 28th. You may post your orders in thread if you wish, but PM me if you do. Otherwise, PM me your orders.

MORE INFO LATER, ABOUT THE RAINBOW, I REALLY WANT IT, IF NECESSARY I'LL UPDATE THE WHOLE MAP WITH PLAYER CLAIMS AND MY RAINBOW EACH UPDATE AND SEND IT TO YOU

Naraian Queendom
Government: Caste
Country Colour: Dark Blue
History: Later

Nedim, your country will be pink, OK? Also, all new signups (ilduce, Nedim, anyone else who joins) can still send in orders for this turn!

Wow, 4000 BC? I thought that this was supposed to a return-to-roots IOT (IE Modern Times). We aleready have enough ancient IOTs going on as is.

It's more Civilization based. Early on, turns might be up to 100 years, then as we get more into it, it's gonna go down to 50, 25, 10, etc. If this thing lasts long enough, we might well be going into future stuff.

If it were me, I'd make it modern as well, but if not, 100 years is too slow with the average length of these games...

That said, I'm going to play as the Indus Valley Republic.

Claims: I can't make a map, but five territories around the Indus area on the border between India and Pakistan, basically anything in West India.

Government System: Caste System, the highest ranking people vote for a King, who serves for life. Anyone in the highest caste could be elected King, but usually someone from the royal family is chosen.

Economic System: Caste System.

Color: Red.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Fine, since I can't have rainbow (even though I implied that I'd take care of it), pick dark green or dark red.
