Is there any interest out there in Hiring Mercenaries for Roleplay and such. I have created a nation for solely this purpose and I want to know how much interest out in the II world there is.

Of course the group would be payed a certain amount of money which I will then put towards group training, arming the mercenaries, ammunition, upkeep etc.

I will also set up a thread in the II Forums and list all the details about the group, specific leaders and main goals that I'll work towards when a steady income is coming in.

Goals could be upgrading weapons, purchasing of transport, better facilities, upgrading and expansion of current bases of operations and so on and so forth.

Does anyone have any ideas that I haven't listed?

OoC: Usually under such circumstances I think people say that they have privatised their military, therefore it is run by corporations. The amount of money they are paid by the government of your Nation is thus smaller and they take on mercenary-style work to supplement their funds.

This way you can use the privatised forces both as the regular military of your Nation but can also deploy them in their Mercenary aspect if you wish. Obviously this means that they will be a more finance orientated military, but that's not necessarily a limitation.

As far as employment would go, I think you'd have to post offers for your services, with information on what you will provide and the costs of it on threads which look like there will be some violence involved. Civil Wars, Nation-versus-Nation conflict, etc.

Whatever you decide to do with your forces, I wish you good luck with it.

Yeah, Thanks for that mate. I was hoping to create this as a stand alone from the economic calculators and the main NationStates site and do just pure RPing.

I think your idea about actually posting in greater detail about services and the such is a good idea and it would perhaps evoke a great, more enthusiastic response from the NSers.

Thanks again.

Isn't RPing purely as a mercenary group fairly difficult to begin with?

It seems that way... :P

Possibly the final Bump before I let it die and re-write a more detailed version...
