Here's my basic idea: The "Republic" of Calisnara are ruled by an iron-fist one party dictatorship which frequently fake elections, and depict the occasional disappearance of politicans against the party rule as "alien abduction" in the media. Now, a rebellion ensues and seizes control of the goverment, they promise to hold elections and form a true parliament; but due to the turmoil the rebels decide to close the border.

Due to the new hope for the Calisnaran people, no large objections occur, and the skepticism is only mild. A girl, though, escapes the border to a certain country(any country from my region will suffice), with a tape. The gist of it is showing her in a compromising position with one of the parliment members while some of his colleagues are watching, and visibly enjoying the scene. She alleges being raped, and that the parliament, along with the rebellion is controlled by pedophiles and they enacted many laws to sanction, and leagalize adult-child sex.

The RP will pick up from there. I'm not a pedophile, but I always thought roleplaying this particular scenario will be very interesting. Though I'm afraid many people will take this seriously, and offend me personally or send in idiotic messages like "I send uber 80 megaton n00ks and teh destroy you preeverts!!!!1!!1". All I'm looking for is a quality RP, is anybody willing to join in?

ooc: I don't think any/many people will object(at least OOC)
Meanwhile are you looking for nations to come try and liberate the people?

Not really, I'm just looking for the roleplay to be how nations react, if they invade, or see a reason to side with the Calisnaran goverment then they have that choice. If any goverment sees that invasion of the country will free the people, then definately you can use that as a pretext. Anyway whichever country to choose to house the girl, who'll be RPed by me, will be instrumental to the RP.

ooc: Would the nation that the girl flees to/houses her, have to be from your region, and instrumental how?

Well, I think this is more in the norm of roleplay, to have characters fleeing into the same region, but I can change it if need be; I'm not rigid in this matter. Also, the girl will be instrumental because she hold the tape, and is the one making the allegations, she has viable proof, as such the housing nation will have to make decisions accordingly. This is what makes the girl and the nation instrumental, they're the one who'll respond to the new situation presented by the Calisnaran rebellion.

So, nobody gave me their opinion yet, does that mean I can go ahead and start the RP? Will anybody be willing to join, or should I just trash the idea?

if your looking to spark international outrage then she'd probably be better off giving the tape to the news agency maybe?

You mean the news agency in the housing nation? Well, I guess it's up to the president/minister/goverment official that watches the tape. Although, I'm sure that they'll most probably show the contents of the tape, it's definitive evidence against the Calisnaran goverment, right? Anyway, if I start the RP, will you be willing to join?

You're going to have to include details on how the rebels managed to 'close the boarders'. Typically a rebel faction is the smaller force. Also you should give detail to what sorts of numbers they have.

Is your nation landlocked, or do you have a shoreline?

The Allied States of the Royal Code will support the rebel faction and would be more than happy to participate in this RP.

Is this the IC thread also?

Np, I'll start another IC thread. This was just to check if people will be okay with the subject matter. Everything will be explained when the RP kicks in. The rebels already won by the time the RP starts.

We'd join; but we'd need a reason to specifically involve ourselves in conflict..maybe if your government had kiddnapped some of our children and we could prove that..?

Now let's say i changed my stance, and supported the defeated government faction, would it take an act of war to re-establish the former government? Or is diplomacy a effective (enough) wepaon in this nation?

I'm not going to do that, just asking.

Is there some sort of senate or parliament where details in the new govt can be worked out?

Also, is the new government going to be opening up to international trade? Because the RAE company might be able to assist in the big-gun department =D

I think trying to establish the old goverment will prove difficult, especially since most of the members are either dead, including the dictator, or in exile. Another easier option is to try to establish a new goverment if you were to stand against the Calisnaran republic. International trade, maybe...Also, Animarnia, I could have the girl escape to your country. Then you'd have to take up the responsibility of demanding a response from the Calisnaran authorities. So, is that alright with you?

I might get involved, depending on how things go.

Now, all what I need now to start the RP is a nation willing to house the fugitive girl. Any nation willing to take the responsibility? There are definately benefits to holding the girl...again as I said, she'll be instrumental in determing where the RP goes.

I'm not in the region, but Mondoth does have very open arms for Refugees of any sort.

I'd also be willing to play host to the girl.
