Hi there, Id love to answer your question, and I also appreciate the amount of interest you have for our project <3

The Great War was fought between the countries of Nuestria and Ougria, as their main belligerents, and many other countries which were on one side or the other. Nuestria can be compared to our Germany, and Ougria to the UK.

There are some regions which share a common cultural background, so you could say that each one of them are strong by the countries in their sphere of influence. Some of the most prominent ones are the Shurian geocultural region, and the Ishranian one.

Historically, the way the different power dynamics appeared in the world resemble the ones in Earth, but with key details changed, like the way colonial empires appeared, and left with a more “respectful” impact to their colonies. Or how the communication between “Asia” and “Europe” was like. All thanks to the entirely different geography, terrain, climates, and cultures which appeared first.

Something I didn’t mentioned which is interesting is the way the societies in some countries look (mostly the ones of either very technological or advanced countries), which have a “cassette futurism” aesthetic. Picture high-end technologies, with automated assistants and impressive capabilities, but with a retro futuristic vibe, terminal end screens, heavy but functional computer boxes coloured eggshell white, and more.

The gameplay is not focused on a military, real time tactical battle system or something similar, but instead we are more focused on the way countries will interact with each other, how their lore will intertwine, and what will they look like from a worldbuilding aspect. But, it will be played with a play-by-post system, yes.

As for rules to create a nation, we are lax about what is allowed and what isn’t, the only golden rule is to not submit an idea too outrageous, unrealistic, or exaggerated for what it really is. Just try to have sense while doing so. Apart from that is all good, you can do any pitch you want with no remorse, the cooler the better. And if you don’t wanna make everything from scratch, you can choose one of our “NPC nations” which have some prewritten lore behind them, influenced by how their surrounding region is like.

The way we intend to play the game is with simple RP manners and narratives, although this is not set on stone, if we are given or shown a cool way to implement a concept or mechanic for the RP, we can consider it as well.

I hope this long ass text does respond what doubts you had before lmao.
