Heres the deal: I have this lovely big nation just lying around (along with a few other, even larger, but they aren't important), and I was wanting to get back into the RP scene. I've familiarised myself with a few changes that have happened here, and made myself a shiny new region.
My problem is that I don't know what to do with this 2.76 billion-person behemoth. Should I RP with all of the people, or a more manageable number? Should I be preset or future or space tech?
What I do have a good idea of is my government and economic structure: very socialized in some ways, but with large corporations providing goods and driving the direction of the nation. Small figurehead royal family with no official power whatsoever, and a large legislative system. One central ~150-person congress, composed of delegates from ~150 smaller, regional congresses. The regional legislatures (and the areas that they represent) would have little power or independence- they exist to allocate funds and deal with relatively local problems. Cities would not have mayors, but be run by the local legislatures.
I need help working on the rest of it, and I need the rest of you folks' input. What's the norm of late? What is there a deficiency of, nation-wise? What sounds really nifty, but you've never tried? Help me out here.
