Beddgelert

Yeah. Er. So!
Lately I've been expanding on Beddgelert's history (and it now seems that we've only been Beddgelert, as opposed to Geletia, for just under twenty years), which you can find here (http://z7.invisionfree.com/A_Modern_World/index.php?showtopic=93&view=findpost&p=16841845), hopefully, on the off-site forum. I'll probably try breaking it down into individual posts and tidying the sections up a bit, but not until it's all done.
Anyway, I've hit the modern era in the truest sense. It's 1989 and the nation that I'll be playing in AMW is just being born. So I thought, since things are so slow around here and we've got some new players and are looking for more, none of whom will have a clue about any of the old history anyway, I might try to make something of an RP out of it.
If it happens, it will be the story of February 1989, The Year that Spring Came Early, in The First Geletian Republic, six and a half years after the fall of Llewellyn Map Gelert and the Geletian Principality.
Since it should be a good opportunity for fleshing things out, it seems worth my while to make a thread out of it, but the obvious concern is simply how to get other players involved in an internal Geletian affair.
It is basically a left-wing revolution in a left-wing revolutionary state, of course, though what foreign intelligence and administrations make of it at the time is something that remains to be seen.
I'm sure it will be of interest to the People's Republic of Spyr, because their man Kezo is President of the Geletian Republic when this kicks off, but whether that translates into much of an opportunity for Spyr's involvement is beyond me. Since it represents upheaval in Europe, there's also scope for concern in Rome, Kyiv, Berlin, and London, but of course the outcome is decided, so there are limitations.
Perhaps it'd be worth my while to start the thread out by establishing its relations with other states so that the upheaval means something to them, but I don't want to get too sidetracked playing the Geletia of the 1980s.
In the end, input welcome!
