You Can Only Choose Two Spots in the Map
The RP follows the map of the Earth and land borders determine a spot (aka NPC). For example, you can choose both Spain and France as your territory as they make up two spots. When choosing a spot make sure that what you choose has a land border or is near each other (for Island nations). If you choose the spot of Russia then you can no longer get another spot as Russia is already big.

You May also wish to have the name of your nation different from the name of your nation IC.

Occupation of NPCs are Allowed
You may invade and occupy an NPC but you'll have to deal with its armed forces in the invasion phase and then rebellions (insurgency) in the occupation phase.

Wars May Cause Changes In Your Territory
In cases such as invasions, you may lose a part of your territory. This is not shown on the map so please note.

Your Nation Follows the Geography of the spots you choose in the Map.

Players Entering the Roleplay are Allowed to pick spots that are occupied by an already existing player
If this occurs, all types of influence of the occupying nation will have to be removed. The new player will also not inherit the alliances (meaning that they will be removed from it) that the NPC they took control of.

Use Of Puppets Nations to Participate as a nation IC is prohibited
One player means one nation.

Spots In The Map That Are No Longer Available For Selection Are:

United States
Canada
-
Germany
France
-
India
Pakistan
-
Russia
-
China
Taiwan
-
Australia
New Zealand

No Godmodding
Godmodding is taking control of another player's nation during roleplay. It's frowned upon and with good reason. you only control your nation and what belongs to it (i.e. Citizens) and no one else's.

Keep it realistic
Make sure everything your nation does in the roleplay has a reason for it whether rational or emotional.

Be Respectful
It's just a game so please avoid insulting and attacking each other personally in OOC.

Stats
Your nation's trends, policies, descriptions, and dispatches are used as stats for your nation IC. Although dispatches to be used for roleplay must first be approved by the RP moderator. You'll also inherit stats not covered by your OOC nation's stats in the area you choose to control on the map, mainly population.

Some trends are nulled or not used. Below is the list

  • Death Rate

  • Lifespan

  • Obesity

  • Pacifism

  • World Assembly Endorsements

  • Law Enforcement

  • Weather

  • Charmlessness

  • 4th and 5th paragraph of your nation's description.

  • Inclusiveness trend

    Properly Detail Your Actions
    This means you can't make things appear or make things suddenly occur without a precursor (RMB RP posts) that would imply the thought: "It was there all along" without saying or build-up.

    Follow Timelines
    Events in RP follow a continuous timeline. Generally, what is posted first will happen first. If a player wishes to initiate an event that took place before an event that already has taken place then please seek approval from the RP Moderator.

    Interactions with RP Moderators Should Be Respectful
    Feel free to speak up your opinions with RP moderators when you disagree on something or want to clarify something. Keep it respectful and objective. Also, respect their final decisions. Never go personal or emotional.

    Controlling NPC Nations is Allowed
    You may control NPC nations but this doesn't mean that what you make them do are exempted from the rules.

    Do Not Copy a Player's Dispatch(s) intended for RP.

    Don't Forget to Update your Dispatch used in the RP if need be.
    You don't need someone else to tell you that. The initiative is a must.

    Metagaming is Prohibited
    Metagame, or a game about the game, is an approach to a game that transcends or operates outside of the prescribed rules of the game, uses external factors to affect the game, or goes beyond the supposed limits or environment set by the game.

Players Are Required To Create A Military Dispatch If They Want To Establish One
Use this Guideline when making a military dispatch.

Players that have a military are:
North power (United States - US/Canada)
Sattwikstan (Bharat - India/Pakistan)
Nato pact (German Federation - Germany/France)
Soumyajitstan (Russia)
Indian armed forces (China/Taiwan)

Players Are Prohibited From Acquiring and/or Replenishing Lost Military Assets While In a Conflict or War.

Looting Players
Looting players is only possible once you have fully occupied that nation's whole territory. You can only loot the remaining defense budget of that nation.

RP Moderators Decide The Outcome Of Battles
In initiating a battle, the involved players will have to detail their objective for the battle and the number of military assets they'll assign to it. It is suggested to do this by telegramming the RP Moderator but posting it in the RMB is also accepted though not recommended. Be reminded that your objectives will be executed by your military by default.

Use Of Weapons of Mass Destruction Against a Player Must Be Agreed Upon And Use Of It Against NPCs Requires Approval from the RP Moderator.

Posts relating to actions in a War or Espionage will be done in a turn system.

You have to control and have characters when performing espionage.
Launching espionage missions works by a form of agent handling. It works this way:

  • You will require an embassy to the nation you're performing espionage on. Embassies will contain the station (or HQ) of your intelligence service in the nation you're targeting. They are essential for launching espionage operations.

  • For Human Intelligence, characters or people from your nation will have to interact with the characters or people of the nation you're attacking. Your people would be recruiting citizens of the nation your attacking. You'll gather information through them. Your Intelligence Agent's proficiency will ultimately depend on their training cost.

  • For Signals Intelligence or Cryptography, your scientific advancement trend will have to be higher than the nation you are attacking. Keep in mind that you will not be aware of everything so you have to know the "what, when, and where" of things.

  • For Image Intelligence, this will purely depend on what assets you deploy and when and where you deploy them to do their work. Examples of assets are spy planes and spy satellites.

  • For Cyber Warfare, your cyber warfare ability will depend on the training cost of your cyber personnel and their quantities.

You Only Have Access To Military Gear Or Equipment That Originated In Your Territory
For example Boeing's F-15. Boeing is based in the USA which means if one of your spots on the map is the USA then you can acquire those. If your homeland is not the USA then order from the origin or the player controlling the USA. You can also acquire a permit to manufacture equipment that didn't originate in you however you cannot acquire said permit from NPCs, only Players.
