Considering the utter joke it has been turned into.... consider the UN a thread for IC discussion of international issues in front of the international community. Time..... my head hurts... I'll deal with it tomorrow. You'll live till the next revision. Additional: The F-117 Nighthawk will be limited to superpowers only and even then at a limit of 15 aircraft.

The Erusean delagates were seated on the far side of the room, both had arrived forty-eight hours ago via a commercial flight directly from the Erusean Confederation. A short stay at the Erusean embassy overnight gave both men time to prepare for the this morning, both now found themselves staring at a room full of fellow diplomats from various nations around the globe. One held a very interesting issue hidden away in a locked briefcase chained to his arm, one that would bring a dire situation to the already tense atmosphere of the conference.

We are now live.

OOC: This is intended to serve as the 'news thread', the template for posts follows. -Time stamp- (Our start will be 01-01-1989) (mm/dd/yyyy) -Service (CNN for example)- -Headline- -Body of announcement-

Alright quite a few revisions to get this off the ground. UN membership at the beginning is voluntary, as are the various treaties. However unscripted use of chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons is still off the table. (Unscripted: without the other side's agreement and prior knowledge in OOC) As soon as the major events and UN thread go live this RP is open.

And yet we still find ourselves with a the various stereotypes, a Soviet Russia, a US, and possibly a North Korea. Either way if people find that they can't RP the way they want to due to my decisions then why are they staying on board this RP? I'm not making them stay thats for sure.

[/quote] By alternate I just meant' continents and maybe a few political situations.

[quote name='Voodoo Nova' date='05 March 2010 - 08:59 AM' timestamp='1267797871' post='2214832'] What if the majority of the world is doing it, how will you enforce it? [/quote] I doubt most of the participants are that determined to be spiteful. As fun as playing an isolationist, destructive, genocidal nation is those don't last very long most of the time (North Korea is the exception).

Economic sanctions, naval 'quarantine', Operation Desert Storm, etc.

I placed the caps on the military as a starting measure due to various issues arising, I'm working up a system for you to increase your military post start. The reason I'm making systems is to avoid the continuous reinforcements scenario which I've seen quite a few times. The economy is an animal I have yet to determine, I'll probably attempt to shape it as it emerges. Because we need some form of global organization, some form of limitations on the actions your nations would be willing to take or this will end up like CNRP.

I'm aiming to play this like the real world, those who choose not to play by the rules tend to get labeled as the 'axis of evil' depending on whether we have any George W Bushes in power. In other news, http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p3/marines6103004085/maps/AECNbasewbordermountains.png

Btw, these are mandatory at start. The UN charter (international law, human rights) (were gonna have UN), Geneva Convention, and a unilateral freeze on chemical and biological weapons production and development, and finally SALT. You can pull out of them after start.

Double post, in light of issues surrounding people's assumptions for military strength I've made a tier system based on world status. There will be a maximum of 3 superpowers, myself, Sargun, and Elrich von Richt. Then there will be 4 major powers, with the remander at the RP'ers preference. Pick and Choose I do not want to see the stats ALL maxed out.

Nuclear 9/11? Also I'm working on a resource allocation system for your military based around your GNP (after the cost of living which will be a percentage based on population) which will be based on your population.

Its kinda difficult to have highlands running up to the coast.

Please don't do anymore local geographies, I'm working on a map for that.

Just finished the latest version of the map let me savor the moment for a second geese.

There is no good guy or bad guy, just the guy who writes the history.

Something like the Nodic Confederacy... gimme an almost landlocked place please. Medium to large in area. [/quote] Sargun took the only one chief lol.
