1950's Earth?

Okay, the 1820's Earth was a bad idea. NS is saturated with 19th century stuff anyway.
How do people feel about a mid-20th century RP? That puts us before the age of INSTANT PWNAGE AT 1000 MILES WITH HYPERFAST SUPER KRUZE MIZZLES, but within the realm of modern warfare, so people can have all the tanks and airplanes they want. Nukes may be a bit of an issue, but I'm sure something can be worked out.
This also gives me a few chances to work some things out with the map system. I think that, this time around, I'll try some pre-defined nations, more based on real geography so people'll feel a bit more comfortable and wont have to make up everything (IE: You can use real city/geographical names if you want), since its a bit of a load to have to name EVERY geographical feature and city-place.

So, what does NS say? Interested?

I think this would work out so much. I would be so interested. Now I'm not the most familiar with Rping so would we use our own Nations? Count me in on this one.

It doesn't count as mythological if its invented by Sony :P I meant from Resistance: Fall of Man. That was in the 50's ;)

Mythological beasts arent allowed ;)

Tynlandia, the general idea is that you make up something roughly similar to your NS nation, but which reasonably fits within RL geography.

Hmm Sounds very interesting. I still think this will be very succesful. Now, I also want to know if we have to keep opur military's the size they would be for our nation or could we make them larger? or The economy Just an example.

For the sake of sanity, lets avoid alien invasions, time travel and Command and Conqour :P

How about somebody develop NationStates 2 (that's a capital 2 with flashing lights)? Then maybe we can have different eras to play in also.

Well, I've already got the 1950's part down...Vetalia's themed as a retro-futuristic nation to begin with, so moving in to that timeframe wholly shouldn't be too difficult.

Alright, we got a couple'a people then. Im fiddling around with the map now trying to keep things balanced. Most likely we'll use the same rules as I had planned for the 1820's Earth, minus the bits specifically related to 1820, of course.
Oh, and I'm considering basing populations on RL instead of NS, just to keep things more or less balanced.
