I’ve never hosted an NES before; based on what I can see, it involves laying down a ruleset and processing player orders ad infinitum. So let’s give it a shot!
Standard rules of courtesy of course apply. I hope we can all have fun during this little experiment of mine!

Sentoya is an island city of approximately 2.6 million inhabitants. Scratch that, a city-state of 2.6 million inhabitants. A constitutional monarchy, it has endured for many centuries due to its status of remaining independent and neutral being of strategic interest to most parties. It is a more or less developed nation, and has seen increasing deindustrialization, preferring to let the tourist and service industries begin to bring home the bacon.
The country is not without its woes, however. Hurricanes and conflicts in neighboring republics have caused a large influx of refugees; to a country with nowhere to expand but up, the issue becomes readily apparent. Many tenements have been hastily erected in parts of the city to accommodate them, and the dire conditions have seen an increase in crime; larger criminal organisations have used these street gangs to expand their power and hold on the city. Corruption has been a problem for some time, which prompted Prince Isaac III to fire most of the police force and train new recruits. To add insult to injury, Prince Isaac passed away but a few weeks ago, childless no less. Per the city’s constitution, a childless monarch shall pass the throne to a popularly-elected individual; this leadership crisis’ hampering of the establishment of new police forces, combined with the possibility of anyone from the pauper to the richest man in the city being able to take the throne has created serious civil disorder in places. Only the government and the very wealthy are shielded by the Royal Police; everyone else is left to fend for themselves.
It is a chaotic city-state, some parts of the island remaining tranquil and prosperous as others become violent and anarchic. But if there is one thing Sentoya is for certain, for those who are willing to take risks, it is a land of opportunity.
Brief Synopsis:
Population: 2.6 million

Some Information
Character Traits: Every character ranks in several fields – these are hidden and assigned to characters based on roleplay and your orders. They basically add invisible modifiers to you – your chance of foiling plots, profitability of your firms, public opinion of you, etc. Being descriptive and being involved is a good way to accumulate good traits. It is suggested you detail your characters to assist with these traits’ assignment. If you’re not on record giving speeches you won’t be charismatic, for example.
Businesses: They make money. Simple enough.
Law and Politics: Elections are held regularly for the Consulate, and the Prince has numerous special duties and abilities. He can, for example, dispatch national agencies to do particular tasks, presuming the government has the funding and has built said agencies. For the purposes of gameplay, the Prince’s domestic role is focused on over foreign affairs. As entertaining as lavish banquets to discuss world hunger with other world leaders are.
Actions: You can essentially do whatever you want each turn. Obviously more outrageous actions have a higher chance of failure; you are also ultimately limited by the rank and file of your organization. A group of a few dozen obviously can’t do much, whereas a group with thousands could cause serious carnage to anything that messes with it. Actions that carry serious baggage such as criminal activity can seriously damage public opinion if they come to light, so be careful.

, is nonetheless enlightening. During an influx of immigrants from other nations, many could not afford to move onto the tightly-packed Isla Bella. Many instead chose to settle across the river.
