-La-Ida
(spoof of Al-Qaeda due to Bytro’s terms and service)
*- Symbolizes if country is playable by default
Disclaimer: La-Ida is a fictional group needed to truly depict the early 2000's and the war on terror. The state is loosely based off of Al-Qaeda. Selecting this state does not subject any player to ties, sympathy, or support with the group. Simply for roleplaying purposes. Personally, I am extremely conflicted on adding this into the game, but I want to make a good Roleplay.
RULES:
1. No land grabbing
Definition of land grabbing:
"Landgrabbing" is something that all RPers hate. It's pretty much just invading a nation for no reason at all except for land. For example, if say France were to attack the UK and invade them just because they wanted the UK's land, that'd be land grabbing. You must have a reason for war, which preferably you will build up over a few days atleast. However mass expansion is not advised, considering the time period, the days of large scale invasions are more or less over.
2. No Gold use, we promote equal gameplay experience income set aside.
3. No trolling
4. Must post everyday in World Herald! Posts must exceed or be equal to 1 well written paragraph.
5. Must ALWAYS STAY IN CHARACTER!
6. Must make all decisions based off a reasonable decision your country would make in real life during that time period. (2000)
7. You must have a legitimate reason for war! ALWAYS resort to diplomacy first.
8. AI’s will not be attacked. You may also not attack through AI nations.
9. NO “FIGHTING TO DEATH”, if you feel like you've lost the war, you must surrender and comply to the demands of the country who was victorious.
10. Do not escalate situations fast for conflict.
11. No intentionally targeting nations leaders unless it is roleplayed. Must be a good reason to target them.
Legitimate reasons for war should be common sense in this community. If you lack common sense, please refer to an admin of the game (myself) and he will guide you in the right direction.
Note: Failure to follow rules will result in extermination from the game.
War:
As many other Roleplay creators, I like to classify wars into a few categories…
Skirmishes-
Skirmishes occur over a short period of time about little conflicts. No more than one province can be captured during a Skirmish, unless it turns into a minor/major/World war.
Minor War-
Minor Wars occur with 1-3 countries. During a minor war, only up to 3 provinces can be taken per nation in war. Unless it is turned into a major/World war
Major War-
Major Wars occur when anywhere from 3-4 minor/secondary powers engage in a war. These wars are considered far more serious and up to 5 provinces can be captured per nation in the war. Unless turned into a World War.
Word War-
World wars are the most serious of all wars. Involves 4 MAJOR powers, with at least one major power opposing. During a world war, up to 10 provinces can be taken by the victorious faction. (Exception: Unless victors choose to create a vassal/puppet/etc.)
Note: PLEASE do NOT escalate conflicts into world wars with ease. Example, Skirmishes should not instantly turn into world wars.
Features:
Leader Feature:
This roleplay will incorporate a new feature that i am testing out.
Every country must have 1 Milita, that 1 Milita unit respresents the head of your state. (Your leader) he can travel around your country, but isn't require to attend every meeting. You can roleplay him in the newspaper going around the world, due to unrealistic travel times.
Rules on Nuclear Weapons:
Countries allowed to have nuclear weapons:
- USA
- UK
- France
- Russia
- China
- India
- Pakistan
- Israel
- North Korea (later in the game)
- Iran (later in the game
ALSO NOTE NUCLEAR WEAPONS CANNOT BE SOLD!
Admining:
To ensure the roleplay thrives, and all rules are followed, this roleplay will feature an admin. The admin will be respected at all times, and will enforce the rules as needed. The purpose of having one is to make sure everyone can have fun in a prosperous Roleplaying environment. (Admin for this roleplay can be found in the nations list.)
Factions:
This Roleplay will include all factions (that are important to the Roleplay) by default.

The fundamental purposes of the European Union are to promote greater social, political and economic harmony among the nations of Western Europe. The EU reasons that nations whose economies are interdependent are less likely to engage in conflict.

Tech Tree:
A Tech tree restricts certain nations from getting certain technology, that would be considered "unrealistic" given the time period.
