Third Spanish States
09-02-2009, 05:18
I've ran out of signature space for everything and I want to put a quote instead of that load of links there, so here is everything of relevance about my past RPs and stories, jokes, nation info and alike, both active, inactive, ongoing and finished, besides a few pearls done by other NSers.
General Info
DEFCON 1: Pickup trucks mounted as technicals with MGs, AAs, ATGMs or MANPADS gain 50% off in gas stations. Orbital forces active.
Allied Nations: Beth Gellert(?), Allanea(?), Zintharia, Theorosia.
Alliances: Calcutta Communist Contract Organization (http://forums3.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=551988) (?)
Tech Level: In a glance, Third Spanish States can be considered as Modern Tech with some biopunk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberpunk_derivatives#Biopunk) Post Modern Tech elements. More specifically, cloning, selective breeding of human beings and limited germinal choice technologies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germinal_choice_technology) are commonplace, where unlike in Huxley's Brave New World, such are used to increase the number of people unwilling to bow down to a government or to oppression rather than opposite, although such technologies can be used for the opposite as well. There are towering arcologies in its largest cities(and lots, lots of hackers that do it in the old way(no datajacks for now)), massive networks of skyways among buildings, MagLev stations everywhere and like in any cyberpunk, lots of crime, even if mostly done in the Internet. Although most of such elements are definitively not MT, the military technology of the Confederacy is definitively MT, and thus does not include supersoldiers with cyberware and/or power armor, LOLmechas and/or hovertanks, like in the case of some other NSes which use 2040s or close decades as their timeline.

Planned RPs:
The Wolf at the Door (Realistic PMT)
Year 2067
Description: While the Confederation has at last achieved its status as a multinational superpower across Earth, succeeding where projects like the Soviet Union have failed, with allied communes from America to Oceania, and stood among the pioneers in the commercial and military exploration of nearby outer space beyond Earth's orbit, modern civilization faces its greatest challenge to survive as the global production of oil has long gone way below the necessities of humanity, leading to the Long Emergency, the greatest economic depression of mankind history: entire nations collapsed into fragmented chiefdoms ruled by warlords, and many governments became increasingly authoritarian as chaos raged over the streets.These new governments, built over the economical ruins of former democracies, have made alliances, and see the Confederation as a greater threat to their existence than the Long Emergency. A world war was about to begin, and perhaps define the future of humanity for centuries to come.
PS: This is a planned RP for the long term. Don't expect it to happen in the next 4 years.
Ongoing RPs:
Prophecies without Meaning (Continuation of Kell: Of Anarchists and Snakes (http://forums3.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=552920))
21st Century
Description: Two years since his ascent to power in the former principality of Kell, Edward Vaughn, now known as the Black Prince, has at last managed to eliminate nearly all the remains of the old order through bloodshed and draconian counter-intelligence measures, defeating cabal after cabal against his plans, and to finalize his dreamed project of transitioning a monarchy to a revolutionary anarchist confederation, he has finally renounced from rule over Kell, giving direct control of its radically changed public organizations to the people, and thus he was no longer important for all but protecting Kell from foreign enemies. As the nation of Waldenburg begins to show symptoms of societal collapse and is threatened by many foreign barbarians and savages, he visualizes a new opportunity for his revolutionary vision: to focus Waldenburg power into the most powerful anarchist confederation ever established, outmatching even his allies at Third Spanish States. However, achieving such feat will border the impossible and have him exchange cunning with extremely powerful enemies, while a new conspiracy breeds in his new nation and the shadow of Gholgoth begins to loom over the entire region.

Anarcho-Stalinist War
Year 2039
Description: Cortez's dream of Third Spanish States has succeeded - his new Spain has
grown as a significant power into the 21st century. However, his revolutionary legacy is challenged by many, and Spain remained divided between anarchists and Stalinists for nearly thirty years. The future of the Confederation and of the anarchist revolution can only be assured by the reunification of Spain, through whatever means necessary. With a casus belli, now the Confederation has its chance to end for once and all one of the most brutal regimes of mankind's history.
