Hey everybody, just here to gauge the interest level for a new RP I thought of, regarding the United States of America and a possible situation in the near future of states succeeding from the Union. It's basically based off of a few things, such as the American Civil War RP that a few of us participated in a long time ago, as well as the video game Shattered Union and the Supreme Ruler 20-- series of video games by Battlegoat.
Storyline:
So, in general, this is RP revolves around the idea that all 50 states have left the US, dissolving it and all it's acqused corruption and power-players after some disagreements regard various world issues and the fact that many believe the US Government had lost touch with the people. However, this couldn't come at a worse time. The world economy is in shambles and barely a stone's throw away from collapse. It is this sudden and unexpected dissolution of the US that pushes it over. Furthermore, around the globe, similar powerplayer and "superpower" countries are experiencing similar dissolutions, although the majority of which are able to retain their autonomy. The European Union, having seen a slight decline in power and membership in the early 2000's, is suddenly thrust onto the world stage and adopts overly aggressive stances toward the struggling world, going so far as outright threatening and invading countries that refuse or ignore invitations to join. Meanwhile, foreign oil prices continue to rise amid world financial trouble and increasing tension, having shot up nearly 7 dollars in the stretch between 2009 and 2010, to an astronomical $9 dollars per gallon. Back in the US, riots and mob rule run rampant as police and law enforcement are all but abandoned after weeks of endless rioting and mob rule, resulting in many urban city centers such as Los Angeles and New York to be turned into charred, firebombed warzones, with occasional battles amid the streets between rogue citizens and remaining national guard. At night, life is a whole different story. One wouldn't even venture outside of his house, tent, apartment, or even car unless he had a death wish.
Each player will take control of a single state, of which is purely up to them to decide. They will take control of all the state's assets, cities, etc, and will lead it and shape it however they want. You may play an Ambassador from another country or organization, such as the aggressive EU or the like, but it must fall within the storyline above. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the other thread. And yes, this will be off-site.
