The grand neo mezo union

Hello,
I must ask for economic help thank you

All of you newbies, I enjoy all of your RP but some of it is kinda unrealistic. I'm not pointing fingers at anyone but please read the Roleplay guide.


Welcome to Anteria, the second planet in the Tendor System, home to humanity and all their beautiful nations!

The Anterian roleplay is a modern tech world completely unrelated to Earth. That means that the roleplay takes place in the current year; 2021, and any real-life countries, as well as the Earth, Solar System, Milky Way, etc simply don't exist. But how does it work?


First things first

    - The No. 1 rule in roleplay and worldbuilding is consent. So before you go and declare war on other countries, you need to understand that in order to include other countries into your roleplay, worldbuilding and lore, you have to get their permission to do so! That's why Anterian roleplay isn't just only acting and reacting, but often creating and discussing scenarios and events together with other members. Of course, foreign policy that includes other nations like for example travel bans, condemnations, or embargoes, which don't necessarily have to directly harm or generally affect the nation, are an exception.

    - Since this is a realtime RP in 2021, please stay realistic, especially when worldbuilding and roleplaying military. If you don’t know what is realistic and what’s not, just ask the Director of Roleplay (DoRP), a Councilor, or someone with enough knowledge to advise you.

    - In order for roleplay-posts to be canon, they have to be posted on the Regional Message Board (RMB), even if you already posted it in Link#today-in-anteria on the regional Discord!


How does one start roleplaying?

That is fairly simple. Whenever a new nation joins the roleplay, everyone acts like they have always existed. That way people are free to create their lore as they wish. If you don't know what to post or want to contact other roleplayers on a simpler way than having to write telegrams, there are several channels on our regional LinkDiscord server dedicated to roleplay and worldbuilding, which is why I highly recommend joining it!

On the other side, whenever a nation leaves the roleplay, may it be due to inactivity and CTEing (Nations "cease to exist" after 28/60 days of inactivity on NationStates, depending on if they are on Vacation Mode or not), leaving Anteria, or the player changing their nation in the roleplay, everyone acts as if the nation never existed in the first place.

If you want to add some spice to your worldbuilding, you can also create a wikipedia-like article about your nation on a website called LinkIIWiki. Don’t know how it works or how to start? Just ask Registrars or people with knowledge for help and take a look in #wiki-requests on Discord. We already have lots of articles, including one about LinkAnteria itself! When looking at the iiwiki-page, you might notice that Anteria is treated as a planet in the "LinkTendor System", which means that planets like Mars don't exist and that our system looks different. Anteria is the name of the planet, similar to how our planet is called "Earth" or "Terra". Same goes with our irl countries. As England doesn't exist in our roleplay, the universal language is often referred to as "Common".

Now we get to the most complicated part of Anterian roleplay: War.
Anteria works so well because we have the rules stated here. And that also applies to roleplaying warfare. To prevent newer players from jumping into the RP and directly trying to start wars or similar, we have several rules in order to restrict warfare. One of those being that you as a new player are not allowed to start conflicts like wars (including insurgencies and civil wars) for the first 28 days of your stay in Anteria. That way, we can ensure that people get to know our RP and rules well enough instead of heading right into low-quality and/or badly prepared warfare roleplay.
Additional to that, in order to start wars, there should be some kind of buildup and casus belli (so a valid reason for war), instead of just declaring it out of the blue.

Those are just some examples, so please make sure to read the
Rules of War
!

When talking about war history, we do have worldbuilt our own equivalent to the two irl World Wars; The Great War. In order to participate, I recommend contacting Zhousheng (Discord LinkFjana#6634).


The Map

Of course, roleplaying and worldbuilding without having an idea of where nations are is almost impossible. That is why we maintain a map of Anteria. In order to get a spot on the map, you have to claim the area you want your nation to be. You can do that by either downloading it or taking a screenshot (The latest map is linked on Anteria's World Factbook Entry, as well as in the Link#map-submissions channel on Discord), marking your claim (make sure it is reasonably sized and consider other maps like climate, tropical storms, etc.), and sending the claim to the Director of Cartography, Foxomexra, either by sending a telegram or posting the claim in Link#map-submissions on Discord.

When you have claimed a spot, your nation will be added in the next map update, which is every Wednesday and Saturday

White spots on the map are unclaimed land. It is complicated on how much one can interact with it, as there neither a void, nor complete anarchy with no governing structure, but rather some kind of governments noone can roleplay with, since there is no player to roleplay with. That also makes expansion of territory into unclaimed land for roleplay purposes a complicated topic, but not an impossible one. If you have something like that in mind for a roleplay idea, just talk with the Director of Cartography or Roleplay.

Need more information? Just read the Map Guide


The essentials of your worldbuillding

What you definitely need are the population and GDP of your country. Those are one of the most defining factors of how your country is gonna look like. Since NationStates-stats are highly unrealistic, you will have to come up with your own. For that I recommend the following:

    1. Ask the cartographer Foxomexra about the size of your claim.
    2. Settle on a population density, taking climate and other stuff into account.
    3. Calculate your Population (Pop. Density × Size)
    4. Settle on a GDP per capita (if you plan on being as wealthy as European nations, anything in a range of 10,000-45,000 ACU range is recommended, 50,000 ACU and above is quite wealthy, and countries even wealthier than that are usually smaller in population, like Switzerland, Qatar, Norway, etc.)
    5. Calculate your GDP (GDP per capita × Population)

Please be reasonable with your nation's population density and most importantly GDP per capita. Trying to be a world-dominating economic power like the irl USA will not work!
For population density and GDP per capita, I suggest taking real-life countries as a reference. If you are wondering what “ACU” (or sign ₳) is, it’s an abbreviation for “Anterian Currency Unit”. Though it’s not a currency but only a unit of measurement for international trade. 1 ACU is 1 LinkUSD. Similar concept extends to the so called “Anterian Wealth Unit” (AWU, ₩), which is equal to one LinkInternational (Geary–Khamis) Dollar and is used as a unit of measurement for the LinkPurchasing power parity.

Read dispatch

Hopefully this helps. Any questions ask New sebronia, the director of RP or any of the RP Councilors. Just saying I'm not pointing fingers at anyone but please do read it.

If you haven't already join our discord. The link is in the regional info page. I'm guessing that you already have claimed a spot on the map but if you haven't there is a map guide in the regional info page. And if you are a WA member endorse our WA delegate Lesser Velutaria (and me pls). Any questions ask me or the directors. :)

|Part 4, Getting Cocky.|
small note, if you haven't already, read the previous submission, Battle of Bende, as it is essential to understanding what goes on.

The troops celebrated, they managed to capture a town with minimal casualties, and it seemed nothing had gone wrong; They spent the night drowning themselves in the wine available, while unprofessional, Altaajir felt it would keep them happy. As everyone knows, a drunk army is neither capable nor formidable in battle, and this was the opportunity the insurgents sought. What alluded them was the presence of several enemy combatants that hid within the unsearched houses. At the eighth hour, the ambushers had enough of waiting for everyone to fall to alcohol or fatigue. When they turned their heads, the shutters of many windows opened up with powerful thrust.

In the resulting moment, unorganized and unfit Qui Latineans stumbled to find hiding places. Those who succeeded in grabbing a weapon and finding a spot to take cover were few, and even then, they were drunk and ill-equipped. As shots rang through the air, the slaughter of a squad and a half commenced in just two minutes, twenty-six men caught in the wake. Altaajir was to blame; Although he wanted the best for his soldiers, he had let them fall into a trap. Twenty-six people made an unwilling sacrifice because of this decision, and more would have followed if it weren't for the grenade of قبطان الرمال; He was the squad leader of one of the annihilated.

When the bomb exploded inside the building, the structure felt a minute shake, and soldiers inside were suppressed. Immediately searching the home, and more like it, the command never lost sight of their mistakes; They couldn't, or those working under them would remind them. Nine of the twenty-six were able to be treated, but the others had received fatal injuries. The question naturally asked of Altaajir was, 'Sir, that was a terrible mistake, but I ask of you; How will you avoid something like this again?'. Altaajir responded, 'It will be a joint effort to never think of our journies in the country as parties, and to neither lose sight of our vulnerability nor our surroundings.'.

Freedom, No Matter The Cost!
This chant rang through the Qakhori capital of Zhenguqaziq. Crowds of tens of thousands of people, who were protesting many years of authoritarian rule, repression, and violence, proclaimed victory in the early days of this year when President Naquris and his administration finally stepped down over fears of being killed by his citizens, whom he called his "little playthings". Naquris' opposition's main proponents were brought to the All Qakhori Peoples Council to form an interim government. Their main goals were freeing wrongfully jailed people for being in opposition to Naruqis, and implementing a new constitution penned by famous Qakhori writer, and former politician, Beibitzhan Bakhytzhanov with the aide of several other pro-democracy Qakhori figures.

Today the new constitution comes into full effect, after a resounding "Yes" vote in last week's referendum. Some main acts of the constitution include A framework for a functioning unitary parliamentary constitutional-democratic republic, re-separation of Head of Government and Head of State, a far-reaching charter of rights and freedoms, "The Right to Equality Before The Law" while doing many other things, finally gives LGBTQ+ people the exact same rights as everybody else, and the reformation of national symbols including a new flag, national emblem, national anthem, and a new national motto. A motto one from any corner of the country would know by heart, "FREEDOM, NO MATTER THE COST!"

Snap elections have been called to fill the Presidency, Prime-Ministership, and the unicameral 200 seat Qakhori National Qenges.

Former president Niruqis' whereabouts are still unknown.

STEAM TRAIN SHIPPED TO SAN CALIA TO RESTORATION WORKS

LAURUA, Lau. A few days after the bought of EPM by SRAT, the Rugidoan ventures to the island nations continue as Ferrocarriles Nacionales de Rugido (National Railways of Rugido) has stated that the Heritage Operations team is shifting their focus to the restoration of the “Niagara” 4-8-4 No. 3039, locomotive that was retire from service in 1967.

While it is unknown if recently bought EPM might ease the passage of the locomotive by ship, a specification of the railway is that the engine needed a small conversion from coal to oil to avoid coal shortages on the intended excursion service.

“Imagine the voracious appetite of the locomotive burning tons of coal in a matter of hours,” “That’s a lot of ash and cinder. With an oil burner, the locomotive will not produce this kind of debris, although that is the decision of the Calian restoration workers”

The Heritage team used former FP7s to move the 3039 to the Port of Laurua into a cargo ship that has destination to Solana Beach and there start the restoration process. The Ferrocarriles Nacionales has plans to restore the steam engine to service the main rail line between Laurua and Santa Elisa, colloquially named “La Vía de Elisa”.

Argarzia, a Numbered Army, also known as a Field Army is typically between 100,000 and 300,000 thousand troops strong. Please consult with myself or other members of the RPC before participating in such narratives, and to ensure your RP is realistic.

For reference two full strength field armies contain about the same quantity men and material as the entire active armies of the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Japan, Germany, S.Africa and Poland added together.

My TGs are always open for advice and clarification, as are those of the Director of RP New sebronia if you'd like to take matters higher.

TL/DR, without better reasoning, a prepared build up, a better grasp of realism and following the Rules of War guidelines , you're not moving upwards of half a million troops around.

The RP Team is here to help you, but it's important that our advice is taken on board. This is a learning region and by making use of the more experienced members and following the guidelines, newer nations can flourish. Many thanks in advance.

| Conscription Extension |

( April 29, 2021 - Pavikat )

Following a vote in the Pavikat to extend Bakyern's mandatory military service to include women, the Chief Speaker has announced the vote to be in majority Aye's.

Discussion on whether the conscription should involve woman has been occurring for a long time, but following last night's vote in the Pavikat, it is now official that women will have the same treatment as men when it comes to mandatory military service. Women were before excluded from military service, with fears of losing a population of caretakers and mothers in conflicts overseas or in general during military service.

The majority of votes seem to be arriving from mainly conservatives and nationalists with opposition mainly from liberals and libertarians. In presidential candidates, Stafen Ovost has announced his support for the extension, citing 'equality' as his reason for support.

As of June 13, all women aged 18 to 23 that meet requirements will be legible for a conscription into the armed forces if called so.

Foxomexran Government Responds to Argarzian Threats

Following threats issued by Argarzia yesterday to Foxomexra's northern neighbour and ally, Rectia, the Foxomexran government has issued a formal complaint and reiterated its stance to defend the territorial integrity of itself and its allies. In the event of Argarzian aggression, Foxomexra is willing to offer support to Ronmy as well, which is by extension of the Foxomexra-Rectia alliance, considered a Foxomexran friend.

The Argarzian-Foxomexran border has seen no changes in troop posturing, as with the ongoing light conflict in western Foxomexra there is already higher concentrations of Federal personnel than usual. Most analysts do not expect a war to erupt over the territorial status of Lake Lasuda, as the recent Argarzian claim has no founding in history, having been split in its control for the past several hundred years - Foxomexra gaining control of its portion in roughly 1816. Nevertheless, the armed forces of both the Provinces of Lydia and Hereal have been put on a high alert and are standing by in the event that the worst comes to pass.

Foxomexran Businesses to Start Buying Less Krenyan Oil

As the royal regime in The Krenya begins a plan to rapidly expand its oil production, several major Foxomexran businesses have expressed interest in seeking out new sources of oil. The most notable of these - the Tsora Corporation - recently stated in public comments that "... the volatility of Krenya's monarchy has led to many scares like this in the past, where every other quarter we just have no idea which way prices will go - you'd think we were working in Plagyorasia or something."

Foxomexran businesses purchase approximately 100M barrels a year from Krenya annually, however based on predicted actions as a result of this recent change it is expected for these imports to decline by around 30%.

Tiskaiya Condemns Krenyan Attempt at Oil Monopolization

Earlier today, the Krenyan government announced it's intention to increase it's oil production from 650m barrels per year, to 765m barrels per year.

This shambolic attempt at destroying the free market has seen widespread backlash and condemnation from government officials and the public populace alike, across the nation.

In order to circumvent it's "ally's" attempt at ruining it's economy, the Tiskaiyan government has announced it's intention to lower the cost of Tiskai oil from 60 ACU per barrel to 45 ACU per barrel.

It's the government's hope that this action will sustain Tiskaiya's economy through Krenya's assult on the free market.

Attention: ArgarziaRonmy & Rectia.

Your three way RMB based 'war' has been declared Non-Canon, by the Roleplay Council.

You've been asked repeatedly to tone things down, and warned about the rules and guidelines of Anteria by members both from the RP Team and the Region at large. I've personally telegram'd some of you on this issue before.

Your RP has been in breach of:
•New Arrival 28 Day Probation
•The Anterian Rules of War
•Realism & RP Guidelines

As such the narrative has been unanimously agreed upon to be considered non-canon.

Should anyone need to brush up on any of the Rules or Guidelines, they can all be found at the top of the regional home page, if you'd like any particular item or article pinged to you via the Telegram system of by Discord direct messenger, please do not hesitate to ask me or any of your fellow Anterians.

Should anyone be after advice on how to avoid this again, please, please reach our to your RP team, it's what we are here for. We are an all volunteer group of player, who do this for the love of Roleplay, and can offer many diverse perspectives and areas of expertise. We are more than happy to coach you through any points of the World Building process, form language construction, to military hardware, to religion from an Anterian perspective. I can assure you being stonewall'd by players and being forced to delete threads is not a part of the role any of us enjoy.

Posts concerning the non-canon narrative will now be suppressed
