The year is 2015, and North America is in turmoil. National Guard units are regulary called on to solve problems on the Mexican-American border, and Washington tries to stop it. Calling upon State's Rights, they resist, and bar the federal military from bases or funding by the states. In response, D.C. refuses to fund interstate highways and pulls funding to many projects.

Finally, the state of Florida becomes the straw that breaks the camel's back. Govener Charlie Crist, promises the Cuban exiles he will use national guard troops to get rid of Castro. After a succesful invasion using national guard and cuban exile troops, the Federal government declares martial law. In response, Florida and neighboring states secede. Texas and California follow, bringing nearby states with them.

Spurred by their example, Quebec secedes from Canada, followed by Alberta.

Unlikely, yes. But lets go with it. So using this map (http://img387.imageshack.us/img387/4633/prop10ys.png) you can claim up to a resonable amount(decided by me) of states/provinces to form new countries. Rename them, and add up their populations to find your new one.

States still open

*Bump*

This sounds remarkably like the onion's 1000 years into the future article. Why not name some factions? Maybe a great lakes alliance? A midwestern Collation? And wouldn't the supreme court declare it unconstitutional to not fund the highways? Otherwise, sign me up!

I didn't want to name any factions so that people could make their own factions, and name their own new countries. Oh! And what states/provinces do you claim?

*Bump*

This sounds pretty good. Could I have New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island? I'll make up a faction name when I'm feeling more creative. And on the map can I be red?

Okay. Your claim is up.

*Bump*

*Bump*

Since most of the Northeast is taken, I'd like Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, D.C., and Kentuky, to form Greater Virginia.

Also, are we able to invade othes, and either annex them, or set up puppets?

Your claim is up. And yes, you can go to war and annex other states. Just don't rp until at least 2 more people sign up.
So far I see east coast dominance...

*Bump*

Oh come on people! Bump!

I'll take California, Oregon, and Washington. Together, they shall form the West Coast Alliance, or WCA. They may or may not be united under the Govinator.

I'll take Nevada, Utah, and New Mexico.
They become the Confederacy of Las Vegas.

(I had to do that. I love my hometown. :D)

OOC: You can have Arizona as well if you wish, and what color?

Me? Blue.

As soon as he says what color, I'll update map. And then we can rp!

Yeah, I'll have Arizona as well. Color can be anything but pink or yellow. :p

Alright I'll update. Do you guys want to start now, or wait for more people?

Doesn't matter to me.
How exactly will this work? Do we go to war with each other, or what? I suspect we'll have rather weak armies, more like militias.

I might as well get the ball rolling. After several fraudulant elections in Ohio, and several guerilla attacks against Huntington and Wheeling in Western Virginia. Greater Virginia invades Ohio, first seizing South Point, and Ironton, home to some of the guerillas. After the State Defense Forces attempts to stop them, Kentukian forces attack, and seize Cincinnati. All over Greater Virginia movements are sprouting up insisting that the land lost during the state cessions be returned to G.V. The occupied area in Ohio is named the Territory of Symmesia, meaning the Virginians are there to stay.

I would like Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana and Missouri. They will be called the Mid-Western Alliance or MWA. Make me green.

Could I get Michigan and Wisconsin? I'll call it "The People's Republic of Michigan."

Indiana might not be the best... choice.

Could I get Michigan and Wisconsin? I'll call it "The People's Republic of Michigan."
Wisconsion is taken. What other states would you prefer(perhaps a Canadian province?)

That's fine. Could I get Ontario, then?

Since dark green is taken, I'd like to be a dark purple. Perhaps plum.

How much would Greater Virginia have to pay to purchase your claims to Indiana?

So....what do ya think?

You misunderstood. I wanted purple because Kanea had dark green, but if they wish to keep purple, in exchange for green, it's okay.

Ok! Lets start!

First Step: Make a factbook.
Here's a model to follow

The factbook will also be where other nations can ask for diplomatic relations. I'll have mine as an example in a little. Make sure to post a link to your factbook here. Oh! And title the thread "Nation Name(SRP)"

My factbook is up! (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=482563)

OOC: woops. Didn't realize I was logged in as my puppet.

When do we gear up? Are the remainders of the U.S. and Canada still united countries? And can we have covert operations in Mexico? They've had a good many secessionist attempts historically. I might as well mention that I'm seizing Bermuda.

Edit your claims a bit, and you'll be in

AFTER HIS CLAIM WE WILL NEGIN TO RP, BUT STATES WILL STILL BE OPEN!

By the way, realize that most of our populations will be civilians and we will not possess very many weapons. I don't want people suddenly having tanks and planes and stuff.

(Unless you seize the National Guard bases and Military bases)

True.

I have Area 51, by the way.

Yeah, I was thinking about that. If you want you can have a little PMT technology, but nothing to big. The rest of us our stuck with normal weapons.

No PMT.

I get some B2 bombers and some other experimental planes.

Are all the spots filled?
I was hopeing to get some northern territories like Alaska, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut.

I believe we should be able to roll over several unclaimed states fairly easily, with what we already have.

Those areas are all unclaimed. Just make a factbook, before the RPing starts.

I have some very, very bad news. I am failing cemistry, I need to study, and am afraid I cannot continue this rp. I can barely post on my regular nation, and I just can't support this rp. If anyone wants to take it over, go right ahead. You can split my claims amongst yourselves.

Yeah, I'll be fine.

As for how we should divide up his territory, I guess we could just say what's left of the US gets it. None of our territories are really near that area.

Fair enough. And for reference, will the U.S. capital be in Omaha, Denver..?

RIGHT...
First off, originally, we said "states and provinces." That's the US and Canada. I'm going to let you go into the Caribbean, but you can't have that much. Drop the Dominican Republic and Florida and I'll let you be Cuba.
