The Cold War rp(1970s)

All right, this is the OOC Signup thread for a 1970 RP. You pick a country and play it either historically or you can deviate some, but try to keep it reasonable. Note this takes place during the cold war, has happen according to the books up to 1970. Just whatever happens in rl up to 1970, goes, and period end of story
Time.
Our Time scale is one week equal one year. But during wars depending on the size of the war, it will be slow down a bit.
Current Year: 1970
War.
War is conducted by one of the war moderators, whenever you enter into a conflict you send orders and troop sizes and general objectives to the War mod and he'll RP out the battle.
Economics
You do your own Economics in the Economics thread(to be linked) and then the Econ Moderators will decide if its good, if it isn't they'll tell you to fix it. You more or less have a free hand in this.
Please do research on your country, any violations of Realism and Historical Accuricy will be handled by Ottoman Khaif or Lachenburg and then corrected. If you become such a problem that you must go, the moderators will try to get together and vote on whether or not you stay.
NPC's
NPC's will handled by a player not directly involved with the roleplaying or a moderator, as the situation dictates.

"In order to ensure that major nations are Role-Played by experienced, and dedicated individuals, any player who intends to choose one of the nations below are to be subject to a thorough (sp?) background check by members of the moderating staff. In the event the nation in question has failed to display maturity, realism, dedication, along with other important qualities throughout their previous RPing experiences, a Moderator or Administrator reserves the right to deny that said person of their claim."

Iran...at this point, under the rule of Shah, yet it may not last that long...do to growing support to the Pan Islamicist...yet I say pick a easlier nation to rp then Iran, sinces it a bit complex to rp.

OOC: Might I suggest that you, for the time being, claim a lesser power such as Canada? After all, we have very high expectations for our American player and we do not want to overwhealm your mind with such responsibilities (seeing as you are already part of several other RP's).
However, in the event the United States remains unclaimed for a long duration, I shall permit you to RolePlay the position.

Hello No Taxes (Turtledove WWII), Lachenburg(Somthing or other), Kordo (E20) and Ottoman Khaif(EII).
Decided I just mosey on over here and see how fun it's going to be, Lachenburg looks like he is giving hell to newcomers and thats the best way to go.
So could I be South Korea? How much stuff do you need to start off? I usually don't like to make the Factbooks until it seems I won't be wasting time (no offense) and South Korea may not yet be that important.
For starters I would like to change my state a lot, like masive changes, different currency, capital, government, policy, lifestyle, but of course not military. So I do ask for some lenecy to really see how far the borders can be stretched. Since really, how fun is it if you already "know" who is who and what is going to be what.
Oh, well, I'm Moorington is that matters.
