Nation : Republic Of the Western Sun (ROWS)
Armed Forces : The Western Victorious Armed Forces (Desert Defense Force + Western Victorious Regulars, Free Pacific Navy, Western Republican Air Force)
Chief Staff : Admiral Timothy Vazquez, Grand Admiral Carlos Richardson, Commander Patrick Jones, Corporal Matt Reid, Major General Mariana Jung
Government Officials : Council Chair Barry Reverte, Councilwoman Gabriela Polk, Councilman Dan Kowalski
GDP : $3 Trillion

This fledgling nation was founded after parts of the USA and Mexico joined together to form their own nation. It controls almost all of California, Washington, Oregon, and Northwest Mexico. The technological advances coming out of Silicon Valley have allowed it to prosper. Its army is quite small, consisting of a small group disciplined soldiers (Western Victorious Regulars), and a second band of soldiers well versed in all types of guerrilla warfare, known for their unpredictable battle tactics (DDF). It also has a fairly small air force, with very few bombers and fighter planes stationed in its two air bases. However, it has emerged on the scene as a major naval power, with multiple nuclear submarines, a very powerful navy. The Free Pacific Navy primarily protects shipping lanes in peacetime, with strike forces strategically positioned all over the Pacific, ready to respond to any foreign aggression. Recently, rumors of a top-secret space program have begun to circulate, leading some to speculate that the Republic Of the Western Sun is developing ICBMs.

If you ever have any questions just ask and i can help verify.

Good one, masterpie. I've noticed peopleare trending toward Socialism, and generally focusing on the nation stats over army stats. Nothing wrong with this, but you'd expect to see some Totalitarians or Communists kek

Hey Genghis, I don't know how much work this would be, but if you can provide a vague description of what each stat does, I think it would help a lot.

I'd say the best guide is to think about their rp applications.

I'll go over them shortly.

Also bear in mind that when the game starts, there will be the in character thread where we actually play, and an out of characterthread.

All of the stats seem logical to me- except diversity. What the hell does it mean for my character to be more "diverse"? Diversity of strategy, more people connect with them, is just physically different from the majority?

Diversity reflects on personality as well as their ability to lead in diverse ways, etc. They are simply diverse, they are smart about many things or can handle many things.

Nation : The Hawaiian Empire
Armed Forces : Armed Forces of the Hawaiian Empire (Imperial Hawaiian Army, Imperial Hawaiian Navy, Imperial Air Force of Hawaii, Imperial Nuclear Corps)
Chief Staff : Chief of General Staff Daniel K. Polk, Admiral Julian Akaka, Marshal Robert Olsen
Government Officials : Chancellor of the Imperial Privy Council Drew Lamont, Minister of the Treasury Victor Inouye, Minister of Justice Jason Chan, Speaker of the Central Assembly Laquisha Davidson
GDP : $200 Billion

Hawaii succeeded from the United States and created it’s own country after a successful coup was thrown which also saw the capture of much of the US navy stationed in the islands. A puppet figurehead emperor was installed and the empire is now run by the Imperial Privy Council (headed by Chancellor Drew Lamont) with occasional input from the Central Assembly. Hawaii’s current relations with other countries are peaceful (?) and the young nation itself is stable and ready to expand their influence into the Pacific.

I'm currently making a status sheet for Poland (Which I made slightly bigger in the future)

Well just bear in mind guys we still need some representation for Asia (which should have tons anyway), as well as maybe more in Africa and some in south America. Anything that isn't taken up by players I'll make into an NPC-situation.

I already see a war brewing.

Genghis, I'd like to make a world map which I update every so often, and would like to fill in the blank spots with some NPC nations that people can interact with (trade with to boost economy, invade, etc.) Would you like to work with me on making some NPCs to fill in the blanks? Going to start a mail thread about it.

Ehhh we'll see.

[Remember when I said I was going totalitarian? ...I lied. The backstory I came up with doesn't fit totalitarianism.]

[Also, some of names are based of movie characters and real-world people.]

[And this took longer than I expected ;_;]
~~~

Quick backstory: With the crysis in 2015, separatist protests in south and sotheastern Brazil grew incredibly quickly. The crysis finally came into control in early 2018, close to the presidencial elections. As the Workers' Party wins again, the separatist movement grows tremenduosly once more and the south and southeast secede from Brazil, forming a semi-autonomous republic. Not recognized by the world in general, the separatists decide to make their move - they stop paying taxes to the federal government, but to each state's government, rather, and they annex some of more developed northeastern states (Bahia, Sergipe and Pernambuco). They achieve some recognition, but the rest of Brazil refuses to give them full indepence. Investing their income on local infrastructure and anticorruption, the coast's growth far surpasses that of the rest of the nation, that falls into a huge crysis.

Surprised so many are going socialist. Just know that everybody being the same economy can go zero to a hundred real quick.

Take all the time you need to develop your character sheet. You got 2 weeks.

It's because socialism "rules" ^_^

Ha. Ha. Ha.

Socialism is way more All-around than any of the others. With future challenges being unknown, people want to "hedge their bets".

well really since none of our countries have really been that big no one would benefit from Capitalist.

There, mine's done. Took damn ages.

Yes but consider resource wealth. I've yet to explain the stats, but I'll tell you resource wealth has a lot to do with how much you get of resources, how much money they give you, etc. Etc.

I'll tell you the big focus of each economy.

Capitalist - Exploit poor nations, develop serious money and industry.

Socialism - You have a balanced outlook, but your resource wealth will cripple you. Socialism is good for keeping your nation from collapsing but still having economic power.

Communism - Corruption is severely limited, social classes are out of the picture which maintains a happy populace. However, you are extremely poor. You are a people of material, not wealth. This will be difficult for trade and diplomacy.

Totalitarian - This is for people who want to maintain completely control of your population but want to handle an efficient military. It is definitely effective in warfare.

Also bear in mind that as the game goes on, you might witness revolution and your government or economy may change etc. Etc. It's just how it goes.

When i made my faction, i had a window open to look at the thread, and another to make my faction.

I'll go over all the stats right quick.
