Nation Background:
Players, stories, orders, countries, NPCs, updates, map.
Players - no limit. Anybody can join.
Stories - not necessary, but very encouraged. Good story-writers would get bonuses based on their stories. In the immortal words of stalin006, storywriters get random events!. Or something like that.
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. There will also be projects - the local analog of wonders, but more about that later.
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 dont act uncharacteristically for it.
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 outrule the other players ruler.
NPCs - lol, considering theyre NPC, I will play them, kinda. Same as the NPCs in all other NESes of late but dont expect them to roll over just because theyre NPC. As Im the one playing them fear them (almost) as much as PCs!
Updates I will, probably, update on Wednesdays save for emergencies. Updates will consist of global events (main news), random events (random events - people who write good stories get good random events, often related to what theyre writing about. And there is also always a bad random event for a random nation), spotlight (a more detailed description of something that happened) and ooc (OOC comments and death threats).
Map - I will use Jasons - much as I would like to use NKs modification, but Im too lazy to draw the map again. Anyone is welcome to do that, though. I will put in cities (black circles), fortifications (line of black squares) and dissent areas (white area within nations). Some might want to know that a large light gray circle means a nuke.
Government
Government - is your form of government. Now note that I DONT want the Sheep2s Oceania syndrome in this NES. You are free to change your government, and explain it how ever do you want, but that can piss off followers of the previous governments, and might lead to nation-wide riots. Or a civil war, depending on what mood I am in. In other words change governments at your own risk.
Technology Level
Will use the age system. It is the same as in other NESes of other people, ofcourse 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 technocapabilities, invent something which was never invented. This begins in the Late Modern Age, and I know this isnt completely realistic, but I am quite sure some players will get into the next age absurdly quickly.
Early Modern Age: early tanks, early planes, machine guns, armored trains, heavy non-rocket artillery, grandships, U-boats, poison gas, outemperors.
Middle Modern Age: advanced tanks, advanced planes, mechanized infantry, rocket artillery, primitive nukes, space satellites, total wars, professional genocides and ruler impersonators. And whatever you people think off by then.
Late Modern Age: guided missiles, stealth planes, early robots, modern armor, ICBMs, advanced space programs, night-vision, Internet, NESes. See above.
[insert something about what the future holds here]
Military
That will, as of now, consist of army, navy and air wings. These will be number-based as it gives more versatility. These will be represented in divisions, ships and air wings respectively. In the future you can get
What will you have in it? Anything that is allowed by your tech. level! Infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineers - you name it. Each stat-growth will increase any part of military by 5.
Using advanced tactics and strategy is advised. If you just order attack enemy on the border with 10 divisions, I will think that you order me to launch a mere charge at the enemy. That might work, but rarely.
Mercenaries - if you pay an economy level, you will get 10 divisions of well-trained fighting men. They will be separated from your own battalions in the stats, and will leave after two turns, unless you pay them another economy level. Yes, they are expensive, but they are quite worth the price. Btw, you can also hire mercenary ships that can also act as privateers.
Economy
I will be using Goob NEs system for economy.You can have a stable 0/4 economy and to grow that you need to put 5 eco points to bring it to a
0/5 economy.
In additon you can bank your economy as well. So you will have 3 number
1/5/4 for example.
The first number is how much eco has been contributed toward growing the economy. The second number is how many eco points you get a turn and the last number is banked eco which has been stored away and can be used at any time.
Shattered (0/1)
Depression(0/2)
Recession(0/3)
Stable(0/4)
Growing(0/5)
Strong(0/6)
Prosperous(0/7)
Outstanding(0/8)
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.

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.

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 wouldnt it be easier to write a speech or persuade the people that you are the leader they need?

Projects
Local equivalent of wonders (that name is inappropriate in most NESes, as these are often modernization programs, national revival and other PROJECTS, not just huge and magnificent buildings). You tell me what it does, I tell you how long do you build it. You dont have to mention it is being worked on every turn. You can sacrifice an econ. level once for a project to speed it up by two turns.
Complaining to the Mod
If you have complaints to the mod, walk out of the door, find the first huge angry drunkard that you see and tell him that hes stupid.
Other then that, ofcourse, you can complain to the mod about his mistakes. The mod will listen. Whether or not he will do something about it is unknown even to me.
Nation Background
Some may think I stole this from EQ, but I got that an idea once, long, long ago. I know noone is likely to believe that, lol...
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.
Rules, Story, Map were all stolen from Das. And he did stats. Without him this NES would'nt have been possible.
