OOC: OK, the numerous Earths are getting a bit crowded so I figured that the time was right to create a new earth.
EARTHNOW
Main points:
1. Realism
OK, the time frame for this Earth will be the year 2005, tech levels will be MODERN+ insomuch as all current technology is allowed as well as any created tech that is based on a current prototype, regardless of development level. A techmod should probably be required to confirm whether anything is outwith this stipulation.
2. Antinumberwank
Every nation will have a population based on the actual current population of the area that they possess (using the CIA world factbook for popn numbers, for example). The exact claims process will be worked out in due course but the area shall be proportionate to the persons NS nation size. Thus, the result shall be that armed forces shall become a realistic reflection of a nation's population, not its NS population. There will also be a cap on the number of nations a large nation can claim. Again a claims/territory mod will be required for this.
3. Context/Freedom of Role
This Earth should be a place where someone could actually play as a smaller nation and not be worried about being invaded by some behemoth from the other side of the planet. To this end, nations must have a strong cultural/racial/political identity in mind when making claims.. there is no point in a nation claiming territory in Wisconsin and Mongolia since these places have absolutely nothing to do with one another IRL (unless the US invades the place for some reason..)
OK, this is the basis of this Earth, if interested post comments/expressions of interest below.. and after a week or so we'll see about getting it together.
