Roll To Lead A Nation
« on: January 15, 2013, 04:04:34 am »

Roll To Nation It Up
Hey you! Yes you! Ever wanted to run a nation? Ever wanted to have complete freedom whether to run a dictatorship and shoot people for breathing? Or run a massively liberal state where animals can be elected and punishments for crimes involve fruit hats and psychotropic drugs? Ever wanted to have a completely stressful working conditions with millions screaming at you? To eventually have a bloody coup where all your ministers are killed? No? Too bad, the last yobbo didn't either and the shops close soon, and I need some milk. See ya, have fun with your country!

Rolling system:
1: Diplomatic Disaster You just fucked up badly. Very badly.
2: Complete Blunder: It's salvageable. Maybe.
3: Small Failure: Yeah, it ain't so bad.
4: Small Victory: Small, oh so small.
5:  Good Victory: It's time for champagne!
6: Overshoot: Good job prime minister, there is pea- OH GOD WHY IS THE AMBASSADOR ON FIRE

Turns are the equivalent of 1 week. Your actions can be anything, be it diplomatic missions or gearing your factories to produce Transformers Toys. These will influence the random events you will get. Actions can be targeted on  other player's countries or leaders, and battles or war can take place.

So, I'll cut it off at around 8 players. The style can be as tongue in cheek or as serious as you want.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

Name of Leader: Captain Cuddles, represented by Dominic Wood
Name Of Country: Happily Forever After
Gov. Type: Brutal Dictatorship
Main Export: Children's Toys
Most Famous For: Being the only oppressive regime ruled by a furry feline. Or rather, The Most High And Glorious Furry Leader.
Main Import: Firearms and ammunition (see below)
(Not so) Short Description: Around 20 years ago, an online campaign was started in Happily Forever After to vote for a certain cat that someone had entered in to the elections. It was successful, but the plan went horribly wrong. The power got to Cuddles' head and he now governs a dictatorship over the people, represented by the cowering Mr. Wood. Due to him being a cat, many splinter factions have formed in the country to try to oust him from power and they are in a constant state of civil war. Cuddles supplies them with arms and ammo so they keep each other weak. The country is now a barren wasteland constantly at war, surrounding an amazing capital city which is, for now, safe from the warring factions.

EDIT: Just noticed, there seems to be quite a high probability of failing on that dice. I can see how this is going to go... :P

Name Of Country: Oberlin
Gov. Type: Utilitocracy
Main Exports: Experimental Devices, Gold
Most Famous For: Slightly Crazy Scientists

Short Description: Oberlin was founded recently by a visionary man.

Turn 0
The time has come for a UN meeting. It was deemed wise that you all attend. After flying across the world ( Or boating) you now stand within the UN building. The diplomats are currently having a fancy gathering, the kind with wine and cheese and caviar. All the world's leaders are attending, so it may be a good idea to make an Impression...
