I have you as Camewot government and nothing else, that could be slightly boring.

Do you want to be the MUF for me? They may not be liberal, but they are a union.

Info on you role: Maritime Union of Farmina: Has monopolised their industry's labour, but does not have the same strong armed tactics as the CWU. Considered highly inefficient (ie slack), but still has the power to laud over any changes, much like its constuction union ally.

You can still RP you government; as long as there isn't a conflict of interest.

Your more than welcome to request an existing role; or make up some new ones in your own nation.

A list of 'interested' RPers is just of no value, so I didn't put one up.

Ah. Well this is what I'm doing:

Setting: Segmentum Praetonialis - this is a resource producing colony in the former nation of Socialist Cockroaches (it was divided up a while ago).

Union: Colonial Workers' General Union - although this sounds rather government and official, it isnt. The Union has around 235,800,000 members, ie most of the workers in the colony. Most mines and industry are in a constant state of Cold War with the Unions, which are implicated and strongly suspected in failed Republican plots and they're very close to the Republican movement (which is supported in one way or another by a large minority of about 30% of the population). Republican organisations are illegal in the Colonies, but there is no solid proof and most people in the government think it would be too dangerous to try to close down the CWGU anyway.

Now, in the RP this Cold War is going to come to a fore. The Union is going to stage general strikes across the region that will seriously mess up the SP economy and have after-shocks that will affect the Praetonian economy and the economies of all nations that buy Praetonian steel ( 2 or 3, I think - I'll dig up the thread). Im not yet sure how to government will react, but that depends on how whoever plays this Union wants to play his/her hand. It is completely possible that this will turn into a Republican attempted coup / Colonial civil war, which depending on the circumstances Praetonia is in they will probably lose, although this isnt set in stone.

Government: I'm playing the Government. Well, two governments really... the SP Colonial Government which is afraid for its own position and has been slowly and somewhat stealthily reinforcing the police forces and Colonial Guard units in SP. There is also the Greater Praetonian Government which is more brutal, a little out of touch with the situation on the ground and, if allowed, would probably just set tanks on the Unions as soon as they come out for being Republican. They're also organising rather dubious Spec Ops operations against the Union leaders.

The Praetonian Government is dominated by three parties - the Liberal Imperialists (sort of liberal-conservative cross - they are currently in government), the Tories (less liberal and more right wing economically) and the Communists (who will support the Unions, but they arent in government and are the smaller of the 3 parties). The SP Colonial Government is 50% Liberal-Imperialist / Tory coalition (called LIT) by default and 82% when you take into account the local vote for the other 50% of the Colonial Parliament. The remaining 18% is 10% Republican and 8% "other" made up of small parties like Green and the Communists.

That sounds interesting, I shall keep a close eye on that part of the spectrum.
