They're all social democracies, and their economic freedom tends to be even higher than the one of the US.

This post is literally the most satisfying thing I have ever read

Absolutely! I would suggest starting a little slow while you get used to things. We've got an established lore in the region, with some nations forming super alliances and pacts that have done a lot to control the political scope of things. It can get pretty interesting sometimes.
Don't be afraid to ask if you have questions about anything, we have a ton of people here who would be happy to help make sure you're caught up.

Would it be considered wise to come into this region as settlers, and build up a necropolis from scratch? Or should I have pre existing tombs and undercities here that I awaken?

An actual necropolis may be outside of what we are. We tend to be slightly post-Modern Tech (Not like post-modernism, we're way too literal for that). Things that are too sci-fi or fantasy haven't fit well.

That being said, some nations have found clever ways to blend some sci-fi elements like Star Wars into the RP pretty well.

It was probably a protest vote just like Trump was for many, or Le Pen. A lot of people apparently thought "why not" after seeing the country not improving under either of the major parties. Also, he was a populist, so he told some people what they wanted to hear even if it was unrealistic. Maybe some also didn't think too much of that tax suggestion, or thought it wouldn't be passed anyway.

Something like 96 or 98 percent of Trump's voters said they wouldn't change their vote if they could.

Unless their vote was just protesting Hillary, we aren't allowed to say he won the protest vote anymore.

What if I managed such a power in a fair way? Such as, say in battle, skeletons and zombies would obviously be weaker then normal, modern soldiers. I would be happy to blend into a modern society. I hope I don't come across as pushy with this reguest.

I think the group concern would have to do with fairness and more to do with reality.

That's a shame.

Do you recommend any region more suited to my preference?

The Skeleton Army would have been perfect when they were active. Their whole thing was about going to other regions and "invading" them with hordes of undead.

Another options would be to ask people here for suggestions. I'll admit that I don't RP very much myself, so I couldn't give great suggestions about how to fit your nation into regional canon.

You could also start a side RP. We have our main official RP, but people are always doing things on the side too.

Thanks for the advice. I suppose I could give it a shot, and move on if it's just not fitting.

I severely doubt Trump was a protest vote. I just don't think many Trump voters would have voted differently if it was say Ben or Ted. Maybe if it was someone like jeb but I just can't see any decent Republican strategist not winning especially without having to fight a good portion of your own party

Maybe.

I dunno, we have had countries like SE and LMI do magic stuff, so my policy is to let it be as long as it doesn't ineterfere too strongly with tech balance.
