Before this gets off the ground I would like to inform all who are interested in joining in that I am opening this roleplay as the Earth of a parallel universe henceforth named 'Earth Prime'. As with this being an parallel universe an entirely different series of events have happened starting from 1978-79.
For Example: In Earth Prime the Soviet Union's 1979 invasion of Afghanistan — while becoming one of the most costly wars in the Soviet Union's history since World War II, the invasion resulted in Afghanistan's defeat and annexation as the sixteenth republic of the USSR in 1981.
Instead of the Soviet Union collapsing and disintegrating into fifteen nation-states as it did in 1991, it merely grants independence to the Baltic republics and from the next few years afterwards slowly evolves into a democratic federation of republics.
And last but not least, in 1999 the state of California declared independence from the United States followed by Alaska, Hawaii, Washington, Oregon and Nevada causing twenty more to secede in their wake over the course of the next decade to form the Californian Federation. Through the course of small territorial skirmishes the Californian Federation managed to aggrandize its land area through repeated skirmishes with the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Mexico, and other nations in and around the Californian mainland.
Now that we have that out of the way, roleplays will be conducted as follows:
1. Massive empires will not be accepted without any plausible reason offered via roleplay. All occupied territories must be either adjacent to your nation or within your ability to project your military's strength.
2. No unrealistic armies, you cannot begin your roleplay right off by claiming a standing army of tens of millions. Everything has to be roleplayed as realistically as possible — even clones take time to produce in massive quantities.
3. All territorial claims made must be roleplayed in order to be taken seriously, claims can be made to any unclaimed territory, but must still be roleplayed as to how that nation-state acquired and secured it as their own.
4. All claims to territory claimed by other nations must also be roleplayed if you are to be creditted with actually possessing such territory(s), both sides must be in agreement to the transfer of territory or claims will receive absolutely no validation.
5. No use of any 'futuristic technologies' or technology that is far more advanced than the current technology of the era the roleplay takes place in, such claims and use of technology in this roleplay will immediately warrant an ignore by most if not all players participating in this roleplay.
Also, of course... the official in-context starting date of this roleplay will be January 1, 1998.

Also, the claims of n00b nations will not be accepted, this RP is for nations who have roleplayed since 2003 at the least and have an interest in roleplaying in the Earth of a slightly different reality.
