I'm new, and I think that the best way for me to plunge into RPing is by making my very own RP. But of course, I'll need help. And supposedly, the II community is dedicated and helpful to new RPers. So any help making my RP is welcome.

If enough people (i.e. one person) show interest, I'll post my collected ideas so far.

Note: Please don't plagiarize or copy in any way the ideas that go on in this thread. I highly doubt anyone out there is that low, but you never know.

Create some sort of situation, like a rebellion in your country, get permission from antoher nation to start an invasion, have a controversial election. The most creative I've seen was when one nation asked for otehr nations to send the current leader the perfect princess.

What a coincidence! One of my ideas was a controversial election. pay attention to the thread for long enoguh, and I'll have the details up for you.

Tho Leafanistan has listed almost everything, the main thing you should consider first is what tech level you want your nation to be. PT(Past tech) MT(Modern Tech) or FT(Future Tech). The suggestions made by Leafanistan are all basically for MT nations, but if your considering being a FT player like myself and my entire region, than I would suggest the best RP for you to start is an intro RP.

Basically describe your nation, and have some way for other people to join in and meet your people. Intros usually turn out good and give you allies as well as enemies to RP with.

Well, that's my advice for ya, welcome to Nationstates, have fun :p

Thank you Taledonia. Leafanistan, if you're still around, here it is:

Okay, here it is:

Spolotikopia politics/government work like this:

60 counties
1 Parliament- 500 seats
1 Senate- 2 seats per county
1 Prime Minister
1 President- (just a figurehead, like the British queen)

Parliament elections- people vote for a party. Depending on the percentage of the popular vote, a party recieves a number of seats.
Senate elctions- same as US Senate elections.
Prime Ministerial elections- each party has a candidate. Must recieve simple majority.
Presidential elections- Parliament nominates and votes for the President out of the Parliament people.

Politics:

4 Major Parties- The Liberal Party, The Progressive Party, The Patriot Party, and the Conservative Party. There can also be independent parties.

Note: Since Spolotikopia is more liberal than most countries, parties must be kept in perspective. For example, if a party is conservative in Spolotikopia, its probably more like moderate right or moderate.

The Liberal Party: Liberal. The minority in most elections.

The Progressive Party: Has been the ruling party almost since the founding of Spolotikopia. Moderate left.

The Patriot Party: The other major party, the only rival to the Progressives power. Not so good at being a rival. Moderate right.

The Conservative Party: Conservative. The other minority, like the liberals.

(If I see the need, I can post other ideas later.

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread, I always like a chance to get in on roleplays.

Come and join us at the Lemurian University's new RP School. It's open to members of all regions, and we're just getting up and going so this is a perfect time for a new person to come learn with us. Its on our forum:

Please come visit. If you like what you see you will be welcome to join.

It sounds good, but until I get more experienced, I'd rather just try to cooridunate my NS RPs and my regional RPs.

Nice plan, and if I'm correct, your canadian like me yes? Anyways, on a personal note, Conservatives are better than liberals!!! w00t go right wing politics!

Idea: The Senate, Parliament, Prime Ministry (is that how you say it?), and Presidency are all controlled by a secret society. However, a group of concerned citizens have discovered them. It is now up to the citizens to defeat the secret society.

Idea: Name-istan, a region of Spolotikopia, has declared its independence. A rudimentary military has been set up, with international (just say me, for now) backing. Aided by elements of the Fluffywuffy military, the XX-istan military has launched a war of independence. A campaign of terror has begun to demoralize your population, and you must achieve victory or be split between Fluffywuffy and ***-istan.

Idea: After a riot demanded that I send peacekeepers to help you, things have become anarchic once again. Now, under the pretense of restoring order, my "peacekeepers" redefine peace as "killing people."

Idea: Because of my war with the rest of my region, you believe that I will lose. You cite that if I fight a war of attrition I will lose, and, believing I have lost, you attack a few isolated, yet strategically important, colonies. With the military mostly at home, you take them with little resistance. It's now up to the few million inhabitants of these colonies to resist.

Taledonia: No, I'm American, but I based the Parliament on what I know of Israeli government, the Senate on US, and the fact that the President as a figurehead from Israel. Then again, Israel is like England, and I'd bet that Canada is also like England, so there you go.

Fluffywuffy: Nice idea, but instead of the secret society, lets try to incorporate my other idea:

Progressives run government so efficiently that they bring it up to a 100% incoem tax. Patriots preach tax cuts during campaigning, giving them the hugest majority ever recieved by a party in all elections ever in Spolotikopia history. Progressives, on the other hand, do worse than the Liberals and the Conservatives.

bump

Fluffywuffy, if you don't mind, I'll take your idea and form a closed RP with it between us. I might change it a bit. Is that OK?

(I'll TG you.)

NOTE: This thread officially suspended until further notice. I have found my RP, thought of the ideas, etc. People were right, II is helpful and friendly.

But still... bump!
