2015. The world has changed. Russia, manipulating its vast seas of oil within Siberia, has achieved new power and now competes with the United States and China for power. As they expand, old break-away Republics rejoin the Federation. The New Russian Federations isolates itself from NATO Nations, and their old enemies in the West. As the Russian Federations turns back into the New Soviet Union, the West waits for an inevitable conflict.

In the East, a new Premier rises in China. Scoffing the old Leader's ideals of Special Economic Zones, he closes these down, and has their CEOs arrested as enemies of the State. A military build up begins, and their eyes turn to Taiwan and Japan.....

In South America, the military Juntas of Argentina regain power, and plan to expand Argentine rule throughout the Continent, and retake what they claim to be theirs: The Islas Malvinas, or the Falkland Islands.

In Africa, a mass communist revolt in Angola turns into a pan-African movement to unify and make Africa great.

Basically, I want to see a massive war fought on a global scale. Any country that currently exists may be used, but I'll list ones I especially would like to see:

GOD: Wanderjar
United States: Amazonian Beasts
Russia (now includes Ukraine, Poland, Finland, the Baltic states, and the old Middle Eastern Break away Republics): Gente Del Agua
China: Red Tide2
United Kingdom: Kulikovia
Germany
Japan: Duckquackmuse
Taiwan: Naasha
Argentina
Iran: Tocrowkia
Israel: Nova Boozia/The Friesland Colony
Iraq: (Amazonian Beasts as Iraq is a US puppet)
Jordan
Syria: Candistan
Egypt: Carbandia
Italy: Blessed Chris
Africa (In general, any country you want)
Pan-African Communist Movement
Vietnam: Gonlyun
Ireland: Drexel Hillsville
Venezula: H-Town Tejas
Cuba: The Aeson
Netherlands/Belgium/Luxembourg: Clan Wark



Anything I missed as well, that you think you could RP and make it important. In this RP, I shall be God. I can't RP it, so I want to see good Character RPing, and decent combat. I will set daily weather patterns (If a new day is to start, I'll say what its like throughout the area so the RP flows better)
and will create random "events" to occur. I don't know what those may be, but I'll think of something.

Anyone interested?

I would love Russia, or the New Soviet Union, but how do you play these kinds of RPs?

Take current military statistics, and possibly add 100,000 to them or so. (Maybe more in this case, since I'm sure you'd be drafting like crazy)

Yes, but is it just all war/battle RPing?

I can only find how many people are of age for military service. And since there are so many other annexed nations what can it be that average. Even though it's 21/35 Million

Alright. Also, yes, I want battle RPs predominately. Of course, that includes strategy plotting, etc.

America is mine if I can have it.

Oooh can I take Japan if its gonna get invaded by China! Sounds interesting.

Can we form allainces?

I'll be the UK

Is Ireland open?

Just out of curiosity, if we're playing with Russia having a bunch of the old Soviet Union states back, and Africa uniting, could I roleplay as a Britain working to bring the commonwealth states closer together?

I'm thinking that Canada, Australia, and possibly India would be part of the new Imperial Commonwealth, and would although unofficially, more or less be pledged to assist the Motherland in any wars she might undertake?

If you do that than don't you dare try and pull Ireland in with you...

You'll be competing with the US for Canada, keep in mind. The Monroe Doctrine is still in effect.

Well... since Russia's taken, I will go with China.

Japan please, I'll be all alone with Russia and China staring greedily across the sea of Japan.

In South America, the military Juntas of Argentina regain power, and plan to expand Argentine rule throughout the Continent, and retake what they claim to be theirs: The Islas Malvinas, or the Falkland Islands.


I dont think so, as of the moment, the military is completely demoralized and badly armed, plus, the current policy seems to be firing all of the current high-ranking officers (like the Air Force Dude who just got fired for going over the Minsitry of Defense and directly to the President).
Also, people remember the hell the 70s were and wouldnt stand in for another try.
So, basically, what you say is kinda impossible in real life, aside from the fact that you cant rearm and retrain a military force which is still using 60s assault rifles and 40s Battleships (There's even a German 88 like 6 blocks away from my house).

Two questions about technology...

Will stuff you usually see on NS(Tungsten Rod Sattelites, ETC Guns, etc) be avaible?

And what about nukes?

Japan please, I'll be all alone with Russia and China staring greedily across the sea of Japan.

"Oooh can I take Japan if its gonna get invaded by China! Sounds interesting."

Taken Already! ;)

I'll roll wit' you guys. I'll take...Venezuela.

personally, i would like to lead a unified conglomerate of islamic culture. if africa is uniting, why not egypt, iran, syria, and if possible jordan. holy wars make everything a bit more interesting and i would like to see these guys have a fighting chance. i do have a working knowledge of islam, so don't call me a wannabe or an intolerant idiot.

rylden would be interested in joining this conflict on God and amercas and israels side, no offense

One thing about that, make sure that you don't mix the Sunnis and Shiites...

Errr... you need to use Real Life nations...

GOD is not a side.

Gah sorry! My mistake, I will take the Republic of China, Taiwan.

EDIT: Hurray for confusing people. Although commonly known as Taiwan, the island is referred to as 'Chinese Taipei' in diplomatic circles and maintains it's name as 'Republic of China', although few countries recognise this.

I'm interested, but being a complete newb to the roleplaying aspects of NS, I wouldn't trust myself with a large nation, and i'd feel more comfortable roleplaying a nation I know something about. So, having spent some time in Southeast Asia, and unless anyone has any objections, i'd like to take Vietnam. With no outside threat from foreign powers, Vietnam could potentially take control of the entire peninsula (but not without a fight from Thailand), and a unified Indochina could be a serious thorn in China's backside, especially if China is already caught up in a conflict with Japan/South Korea/USA.

Bump!

I guess I could be Syria.

Who ever the hell is China, Russia would like an alliance with you!

United nations of Islam considering alliance with japan. Consider us as highly mobile, centralized demi-nation based in iran and having ties to the muslim community in neighboring provinces.

Sorry I couldn't update it last night, I had to be away for a while (Grandpa back in the hospital again...most of you know the story :()


anyway, I'm going through now and updating claims.

Vietnam sounds good to me mate, and everyone, consider your claims to be so, it'll just take me a moment to update them.

Gonylum, Russia is looking for an allaince with China, and if so troops will be sent to deal with your nation's actions first. But if China declines Russia will open negotiations for an alliance between USA/Vietname/Japan/Russia. We like to warn you ahead of time.

Mate, wait until the Rp actually begins ;)


Also, China and Russia hate each other, I think a Sino-Russia war is more likely than an alliance ;)

Ah yes, but as I see it China needs allies. And I need manpower. Maybe it's is time to close that gap. And if he says no he has an enemy on nearly all his fronts, so that might force him to change his mind. *Evil Laugh*

I'm thinking of keeping the RP to what we'll have by about 2015. If you're country could have it by 2015, then its fine.


Nukes? I'd rather keep WMDs to the possible gassings, otherwise, please dont. :)

True. But the USA wouldn't side with you, as we hate Communism. THerefore, Alliance with USA = Impossible.


However, as God, I can arrange a communist uprising in the US if I wanted, but we'll see.

(Yeah, those are some of my Godly powers, but I'm mostly just going to be a moderator who occasionally will set in a variable, such as an insurgency in a conquered nation.)

I'd be a war pact, besides who wants to have a war with Russia? Anyways Japan and Vietnam would hopefully put pressure on the USA to have an allaince WITH THE GREAT SOVIET STATES OF RUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSIIIIIIAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! FOR THE MOTHALAND!!!

I appolgize, but I will fight for my allaince :-p

Alright, I would like a Germany and an Israel, but I'll begin once a Germany is found.


Heres the format for the RP:

Each campaign, or theater of war, will have its own thread. Therefore, the European War will have its own thread, the Pacific War will have its own thread, the South American war will have its own, and the African war will have its own thread.

1 Master thread will be created. It will be our OOC thread, and also serve as the Hub for the other threads (links will be established there.) Therefore, the RP won't be cluttered with posts relavent to other theaters, and ALL (EVERY SINGLE ONE) OOC remarks are to be in the Master thread I will make. Therefore, this RP will be organized. Organized RPs are longer lasting RPs.

Alright? This RP begins as soon as I've found a Germany.

No one wants to be Germany? Bull, cmon guys. JOIINN!

....Japan wouldn't say a thing to the US, except maybe to bring troops to help defend them. Vietnam may put pressure on the US, but it wouldn't matter.

Think realistically mate. Russia hasn't got a chance for an alliance with the US or any other Western nation.

Hmm, you're right. I've got to become allies with Asia and Africa's Communist Movement. I'll probable help Vietnam taking Indo-China. Vietnam how do you feel about getting some revenge of France? But then America would go to war with Russia. I'm probable not guna RP Russia goin against any Western Nation, damn NATO. Wait, does it still exist?

What about the Southern American states?

I like the idea of an alliance of some kind; we'll see what happens when the RP starts though, eh? Besides, historically, Vietnam was closer to the USSR than it was to China, so i'd probably be willing to help you out if you help me, whatever you do.

As for China, like I said, Vietnam and China weren't really close friends after the Sino-Soviet split, and besides, Vietnam is currently going down modern China's path (a communist government with a semi-capitalist economy), and it's brought some serious economic growth to the nation, so they wouldn't favor China going back to pure communism too much. If Russia's buddy-buddy with China again, though, we'd probably back down against the latter, for the time being.

I wouldn't mind taking Egypt..Assuming you don't mind me joining, Chris. (also sorry to hear that about your grandfather..:( )

Forget an alliance with China, and help Japan (moi!) surely a war between Russia and China would be the most interesting option? Eh? Plus with an alliance with Japan and Vietnam, as suggested below you'd be in quite a good position?

Well, interestingly enough, after I made my false claim to Japan, I checked out their military stats. All I can say is good luck, against China and Russia you'll need it.

Hah can't you see? I'm trying to make sure I don't have to defend myself against both of them, I slightly regret choosing Japan now, but maybe a short sweet lifespan would be fun.

Have you taken another country?

Taiwan, with the crazy economic and military power and all, only trouble is that we don't really have a 'formal' mutual defence agreement with the US and the People's Republic hate our guts.

Do you think maybe the USA would help me out? Against the communists maybe?

I believe Japan and the US have a defence agreement in place, there are certainly already US military personnel in Japan.

The biggest obstacle you are going to have is that the Japanese constitution outlaws nuclear weapons inside the country and is also strongly against Japanese forces being deployed overseas, so you'll have to find a way around that if you wish to mobilise.

Absolutely Carbandia! I'll put you down now.


And as for Duckquackmuse, yes, the US should help you out. We have very close relations with Japan, and the JDSF is strong enough to hold its own. I'd expect to see Russia take the Kuril Islands, as the despute over them almost became a war in the early 1990s, and the Chinese would like Hokkaido.

Don't forget the Spratly's, Chris..Last time I checked they were claimed by no fewer than four different nations..(China, Vietnam, Phillipenes, Japan)

So do you reckon a Russian/Chinese alliance is on the way?

Russian-Chinese alliance? In the real world? No. Not a chance in hell even in the RP, especially because the new leader of China (Who is fictional but relevent to my RP), is a Communist Extremist. He is young, vibrant, and wants to prove that Chinese Communism (Maoism) is the best.

He will deffinately oppose Russia, viewing them as lesser Socialists, and eye the oil rich lands to the north.

As well as Taiwan, Brunei, and Malaysia, I think. Popular place. :P

Like I said, once I find someone to be Germany, we're good.

(Hell, I might just be Germany and start it. Alright, it's on!)

Alright, the Master thread is up, and the subsequent Europe War thread will begin soon.

Do that in your campaign thread.

I'll take Isreal. Sign me down for Nova Boozia/The Friesland Colony, since I can't be bothered switching to a nation that I'm not actually RPing as in the traditional sense.

So, Green Sleaves, I take it that your pan-Islamists will be including those Islamic states who aren't so keen on the first and only bastion of Jewishness? Do I smell a Middle-East war thread in the air?

Not even the 2006 election of the Democrats has damaged our special relationship! Unfortunately, it appears the roadmap to peace is missing some very important junctions... ;) to you too!

Italy for me please.....

Any chance I could take a coalition of Eastern European countries?

Something along the lines of Poland, Czech Rep., Slovakia, and Lithuania, unless someone else wants any of these...

^East Europe doesn't exist anymore

Nope, I just did that as the opening post. It was the best thing I could think of to get it started.



So if you want to play as an insurgent, thats fine. If you ever want another country though, tell me, since we have plenty availible.

I suppose I'll be Germany, if it's still available.

Kind of, but you're pretty much beaten by me. I mean im like a post away from marching on Berlin.

Oh snap. How about Iran, then?

Chris, wouldn't it make things more interesting for all concerned if you rp'ed the npcs? Like say Libya, for instance..Siddi Barrani is only about 60km inside Egypt, as I recall (or 60miles..can't remember which), so it is possible they might notice the build up..

Oh snap. How about Iran, then?

Iran is cool, btw if you're Iran I've sent you a Alliance request you haven't answered yet. And you get 25% off Russian war-time goods.

k, Iran it is then...

I'll turn over Germany to you if you want as well. Just keep going the way I've been doing it, and I'll hand over the reigns.

But, Germany is getting ducked in the ass...

German Armor is the Leopard 2 A5-6 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopard_2). The Anti-Aircraft guns are SAM Sites (ROLAND (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_%28air_defence%29)), and Gepards (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer_Gepard)

What about Infantry rifles. I want to see if I have some range on you. BTW Can you take some Anti-Aircraft Installation losses since i've been bombarding them with nearly 300 2000 PzH Howitzers?

Maldaathi wishes to claim Iran if possible.

Iran is already claimed mate.


Care to have anything else?

Can I control a neutral coalition of Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg. Seeing as they got the crap beat out of them during the last world war and their common Netherlandish ancestory, it only seems right for them to join together into a unified neutral force.

I'll take Germany if that's OK, has WW3 started yet?

P.S: US isn't getting involved in Europe this time.

What about Iraq? I know it is a puppet but why would one player control two nations?

I think you can, you should anyway.

You can have Iraq if you want it, but I've already laid down a sequence for it.

I may join NATO but only in the event of invasion. The Lowland Coalition I've claimed has a strong history of neutrality and with the changes I want to apply to the region I think neutrality will have to stick around for a bit.

I'm happy to follow your sequence, at least for awhile.

There needs to be a new China!

I'd like to be South Korea, if it's all right.
