Revolution IOT 2: Sign-Ups

The Rules

Note: all rules are subject to change, so please keep an eye out for them. Thanks. Yes, these rules are pretty much borrowed by IOTVI. No point in reinventing the wheel.

House Rules

1. Do not flame, troll, or personally insult any other player OOC or IC. At all. You may comment on certain things negatively, but don't take it further than that.
2. Stay on topic. Make sure all comments are relevant to the fictional world of the current IOT and have nothing to do with your personal religious/political beliefs.
3. Your posts should actually consist of something relevant to your nation and not just one-liner comments. Do not spam.
4. Long diplomatic discussions belong to the realms of Social Groups or visitor and private messaging, not the Game Thread.
5. REDACTED
6. The GM is supreme. He reserves the right to change game rules, ignore or modify orders, impose restrictions on players, disband player nations, and so on.
7. Above all else, RESPECT THY FELLOW FORUMERS.

I'll usually warn players first if they break the rules. If they break the rules repeatedly, then I'll apply this:

1st Strike: Minimum Destruction
2nd Strike: Moderate Destruction
3rd Strike: Extreme Destruction

And so on.

I reserve the right to ignore this policy for players who really piss me off, and kick them out of the game instantly.

Inactive players (AWOL for more than 3 turns) risk facing the Wrath of the GM (WoG) ie having their nation disbanded. These players can rejoin the game, but their old territories won't be restored to them; they'll start off with 10 claims like every new player.

Special Powers

In RIOT II, nations can tailor-make their own superweapons. To be fair, they will all have the same in-game power. Just different favors. The first tier costs 100 LPs.

When you start a program, send me a PM the details of your special power. Massive artillery bombardment? Dragon raids? Atomic Bombs? It's up to you.

NPC Actions

Bribe: Take a quarter of the NPC's LPs. That's how much it costs to bribe them to go to war with someone.

Sphere-of-Influence: Take half of the NPC's LPs and that's how much it costs to pull them into your sphere. When they're inside your sphere, no one else can attempt to bribe them. If another player outspends you SoI-wise, the NPC enters their sphere. You can control the NPC's diplomacy but not spending.

Install Puppet: Take the total amount of LPs that NPC has. That is how much it costs to install a puppet. Puppets can not be bribed or placed in someone's SoI. You control the Puppet's Spending and Diplomacy. If another player tries to create a puppet, there's a chance of a civil war breaking out.

Annex: Take the total amount of LPs the NPC has and triple it. That's how much it costs to annex.

Destruction

There'll be a map called the "destruction" map which basically shows territories damaged by special powers with a number on them. The number is how long until the territory degrades to a lower level of destruction.

Normal (White): Everything's relatively fine.

Crisis (Yellow): Many are dead and the destruction is moderate. Drains 1 LP. Takes five years to return to degrade to normal conditions. A Tier-1 SP can cause these.

Disaster (Red):Millions are dead and the destruction is horrible in the targeted territory. Refugees are making emergency aid difficult by clogging routes into the territory. They're increasing tensions in neighboring territories as well and crime and conflict is on the rise. Drains 2 LPs each. Takes ten years to return to White.. A Tier-2 SP can cause these.

Wasteland (Blackish): Destruction and death is near universal in the targeted territory. Bordering territories are dealing with the effects poorly and have become disaster zones themselves. The Refugee problem are problematic on the borders of the large disaster zone. It takes fifteen turns to return to White. Without another special attack or GM penalty, it will take 15 years for a return to normalcy in wastelands. A T-3 and above SP can cause these. Drains 5 LPs each.

The effects can stack as well. Say that a single unlocky territory is hit TWICE with a T-3 weapon, that's 30 years of wasteland in that territory, 20 years of disaster in the surrounding territories, and ten years of Refugee problems on the fringes.

AHAHAHAHAHA NO JEWS THIS TIME AROUND



COPYPASTA

Neo Old Kingdom
Government: Monarchy

Leader: Pharaoh Ramses XII the Great; Ra

Religion: Egyptian

Language: Egyptian

Currency: Egyptian lira (are you seeing the pattern yet?)

Capital: Memphis

Development: Second-world bordering on first.

Economic Policy: An odd mix of capitalism, barter, and, uh, give-the-pharoh-moneyism (neo-ancient-feudalism?)

Social Freedom: Egyptians enjoy surprisingly free social lives for a monarchy.

Political Freedom: Women are better off than in other nations. No elections, it's a monarchy.

Military: The land army is large enough to protect Egypt proper. The navy is a force to be reckoned with, provided that the opposing country is smaller.

History: Ramses XII was tired of people having so much political freedom in the west, and saw it spreading to his beloved Egypt. Islam only oppresses women, and in the bad way. Also, Islam wasn't Egyptian, unlike the old gods, who were significantly more awesome (all Islam had was a flaming sword). Thus the Neo Old Kingdom was created! Also now the gods are real apparently.

Europa Colonists

Government: Colonial Governorship
Leader: Governor Jacoby Merhoose
Religion: 36% Catholic, 34% Protestant, 25% Orthodox, 5% Buddhist
Language: Earthican Europa (English Nouns, Swedish Verbs, Yucatec Grammar, & Irish Pronunciation, with a Korean Accent)
Currency: Europa Calcao
Capital: New Houston
Economic Policy: Laissez faire
Social Policy: Most Social Decisions are made on Europa
Political Policy: Most Political Decisions are made on Europa
Divisions: 35 Europa Pentapods (1225 total)- Fearsome 5-legged Machines of War.
Squadrons: 1 Europa Subpod (30 total)- Ships of War capable of travelling on the Sea or Beneath it
Air Wings: 3 Europa Saucerpods (240 total)– Advanced Craft of War capable of both Atmospheric & Space flight.
History: In the tumultuous years of the 2080’s, America (who else?) sent a scientific expedition to Europa, one of the Moons of Jupiter. After approximately 35 years, the small scientific outpost had grown into a proper colony. But the future was not bright for the Colony of Europa, for soon afterwards, radical Buddhist terrorists brought down NASA. With America unable to directly control Europa & the people uncertain of what to do now that communications with the Motherland had broken down, a number of Factions emerged in the Europa Colony. After a decade and a half of Civil War, the Europa Merchant League managed to unify the Moon of Europa under their rule. With their power secure, they sent out settlers to Earth in an attempt to reestablish contact. The colonists managed to seize all of old Texas & Louisiana. After Fidel Castro VIII, communist dictator of Cuba, attempted to kick them off of Earth, Europa launched an Invasion of Cuba. The Mexican territories along the Gulf Coast & in the Yucatan were only added after a foolhardy attempt by Gran Mexilombia to conquer lands from Europa, in la Reconquista Dos. Now, with colonial holdings secure, the Europa Colonies are experiencing a period of salutary neglect, as the main bulk of Europa’s Military returns home to quell unrest.


OOC: This is a joke nation. I am still joining, & will attempt to RP as seriously as possible, but this is still a joke nation.

The Republic of Antipode Fauna

Tired of constant mistreatment and fat tourists with video cameras, the Animals of Australia have said, NO MORE! They have quickly used their superior strength and numbers to kick the humans off their precious continent and have once again claimed Australia for themselves. Their society is highly separated, with the smarter and stronger marsupials in charge, especially Kangaroos.

"Animals of the World! Now is our time! Already we have overthrown our oppressors here in Australia! Here, we have put THEM in the zoos! Now we eat THEM on summer BBQs and use THEM to pull plows for our agricultural needs! Join me, and soon animal-kind will rule the world!" - Prime Minister Hops addressing world fauna from Can-of-Berries, New South Whale.

Claims:

Divisions: Flightless Bird Infantry or Kangaroo Snipers or Turtle Tanks
Squadrons: Whale Shark Transports and Whale Submarines
Air Wings: Eagle Fighters
(All of these are part of our military)

Heh.

Dogs of war.

Note: The RAF is not declaring war on all humanity, only on the humans of the Antipodes (Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania).

EDIT: If any one has any pictures of animals wearing clothes, they would be greatly appreciated

Government: Tribal
Capital: New Quebec
Language: French and English
Economy: Barter
Social Policies: In most communities, men are the usual guards and hunters, and typically are the leader of the household. Women usually tend the fields and stay at home. Do to how the government works, women can not hold a position in government, but still receive rights in other areas.

Divisions: 30,000 (Standing Army), 75,000 (Militia), Men starting at the age of 13 must take a mandatory 3 year long military course so that they must know how to fight.
Squadrons: 15 Ships, there is not a lot of focus on the navy currently, though some have expressed ideas of putting more funds into it.
Air Force: 3 Planes, there is a even lesser focus on the air force than the navy.


Claims:

Edit: Animal Farm! Finally!

Okay, an animal nation is taking this too far.

Then I strongly suggest joining this social group.

OOC: You missed the thing about American Space Colonists colonizing Earth, I assume?

IC: Greetings, Prime Minister Hops of the great Republic of Antipode Fauna! I would like to propose a simple trade: We ship our prisoners to you for use in your zoos & fields & as livestock, you ship your criminals to us for the same reason. Sound good to you?

New Imperial Spain
Government: Monarchy

Leader: King Leonardo Castillo

Religion: Roman Catholic Majority, Sunni Islam, Protestant minority(minorities persecuted against by most of the populous)

Language: Spanish(official) Various other European languages in use

Currency: Hispaña Denero

Capital: Madrid

Development: Second world

Economic Policy: Free Market and capitalistic systems

Social Policy: People are freer than expected.

Political Policy: Any citizen can vote for governors, but the federal government is a Monarchy.

Military: Armies can defend the borders properly, but the navy is the jewel of the military. Aircraft are used lightly.
Division: 4000 people
Squadron: 6 ships
Air Wing: 3 planes
History: King Castillo's goal when he finally officially founded New Imperial Spain was to re-glorify what was a failed state in the 21st century. This would mean winning wars, economic prosperity, and making an Empire. Starting out with technology from 2010, he had expanded his modern kingdom to most of Iberia, casting out the old Portuguese government. Alas, he failed to hold northern Spain, which became part of a Sicilian Nation. As of today, however, he successfully leads Spain into economic expansion. With his diplomatic skills, he had sealed a loosely-held alliance with a nation in the Black Sea to secure the remnants of the Portuguese nation, which he appropriately named Exiled Portugal. He began reconstruction of the Armada, the fabled great Spanish navy. His last order of business was to rebuild the Empire. He expanded into northern Africa, bringing old Spanish provinces back under their true flag. He'd even got a colony in the Philippines. But these tasks were still not complete, and he had his final, greatest aspiration....

TOBETHEGREATESTPOKEMONMASTEREVERTo have Spain lead the world as the greatest scientific power to this day.

To be fair, if you start spamming this thread with animal pictures, I'll start dropping comets on Australia.

The Hetmanate of Ukrine



Government: Constitutional Monarchy
Leader: Grand Hetman Vsevolod I
Religion: 90% Ukrainian Orthodox, 4% other Christian, 6% Other
Language: Ukrainian, although Russian is spoken in the southern parts of Ukraine
Currency: Hryvnia
Capital: Kiev
Economic Policy: Market
Social Policy: Social Democracy
Political Policy: The Grand Hetman is largely a symbol, and is elected once the previous Grand Hetman dies. Most of the power goes to the Prime Minister, with the Parliament being a law-making body. However, the Constitution says that in times of extreme strife (i.e. 10% Black Zones, 20% Red and/or 30% Yellow), normal government is suspended and power goes to the Grand Hetman.
Divisions: What most other country calls "Divisions" the Hetmanate calls "Hosts". Each Host has about 10000 soldiers in it. Most Hosts are Mechanised or Armoured, the MBT of choice being the T-54s scavanged from old Soviet barracks. A Host is headed by a Hetman. Confusingly, "Host" also refers to the area of land that the Host has juristiction over and is for all intents and purposes a territorial subdivision.
Squadrons: Approximately 5 battleships. The Navy currently has about 50 ships.
Air Wings: The "Angel" class fighter is the most common fighter. The Air Force has 125 of them.
History: Following World War III, the Ukranian Cossacks managed to organise and take control back from the shambles that were Ukraine. Re-establishing a capital at Kiev, they have managed to largely restore order (although Ukraine as it exists currently is mainly a Night Watchman state), and seek to possibly re-unify even most of the former USSR.

Empire of the DMV

Government: Dictatorship
Capital:Baltimore
Leader: President Lowblow
Religion: non official

It was at this time that a young charismatic politician rose to power, promising to build a better country out of the carcass of the old. One by one, nations fell to lowblows armies with the last country to fall being the Ohio Collective which surrendered after five months of constant artillery bombardment and air strikes. Lowblow now seeks expand his influence across the sea and to build the ultimate WMD to secure his empires place as a super power.
Division: 190,000 men
Squadron: 30

The Great Plains
Government: Elected Great Chief. Chiefs rule every province and are elected every 5 years. They elect a new great chief every 10 years.
Leader: Chief Black Crow
Religion: Ghost Dance, Native American Church, Christianity (discouraged)
Language: Much has been done to revive Native American Culture and Language. Native Languages are widely spoken and taught in schools, but the majority is English and it is taught as a foreign language.
Economic Policy: Due to nomadic life being economically impossible, most still live and farm as they did before, but they have gotten back their ancestoral lands, which are much richer than reservations.
Social Policy: In theory the Non Native population should be relocated, deported with all their cash and bellongings or have adopted some aspects of Native life. In practice, that is not feesable and most people retain their old way of living.
Political Policy: Only Native Americans can hold office.
History: As turmoil and chaos spread in America, Native Americans rose up under Chief Black Crow. Through a serious of efficient military manuvers and due to the millitary being emergency scrambled to deal with riots in the East, Black Crow managed to claim much land. White Settlers were removed, told to live in reservations, or left alone.
Division: 5000 men
Squadron: Curently no navy. 5 ships per squadron planned.
Air Wing: Consists primarely of captured US fighters. 10 aircraft per wing

Supposed to do a map.
