OOC: Well, this is my first time starting an RP on NS. I'll do my best to fit this in with the rest of NS, and see how it turns out.
Background:
Collapsia has long been a Military Dictatorship, ruled over with both an iron fist and a silk glove by the Glorious High General, who has done everything in his power to support the Corporations that provide Collapsia with its wealth. As a result of this, Collapsia has ended up a number of enormous, polluted cities. Its largest, and its capital, Collapsia City, has a population of over 100 million, and, from below, a perpetually pink sky. However, its skyscrapers soar over the polluted layers, shining brightly. At that level, they are pressurized against the thin air outside, and sparsely populated by the few who can afford to live there.
Down below are the oppressed, who work Collapsia's factories, and fight their wars. At the bottom they live in what were once city streets, but, due to more roads being built over them, have become tunnels. Above that are the slightly wealthier, who have streets, and, occasionally, a glimpse of the pink sky. In other cities it is much the same thing.
The ruling party, the Plutocratic party, has long suppressed all rivals. But now, they have decided, is a time for international legitimacy. They will hold a free election, and show the world that Collapsia, too, can be a free state. They will invite journalists from around the world to visit Collapsia, see Collapsia's elections, and tell the world what they see.
Any nation may send a team of journalists/reporters into Collapsia, maximum of one team per nation. These teams will recieve diplomatic immunity for all but the most heinous of crimes, and stay in luxurious suites at the Collapsia Grand Hotel, in the high, wealthy sector, with a view of the western half of the Collapsian nation. All basic expenses of the trip (Collapsian upper-class food and lodging, transportation around the city, and similar costs) will be payed for by Collapsia.
