Didn't say anything about the factbook having to be comprehensive mate...

"The Orange Creek is a Hellenistic country situated in North Africa, and is governed by a parliamentary constitutional monarchy. It is majority Crymenathean, and first emerged in the 10th Century BC from a wave of Mycenaean migrants after the Bronze Age collapse."

This passage, slapped on a dispatch, is a good enough overview.

"The NROC (Neo-Republique De Ceratae) is a Democratic state vaguely reminiscent of that of the upper continental North America. It is mainly atheist, and emerged in 2300 from a liberation war of the Mars moon colonies.

Thanks to my unwilling faithful employee Pory I now have even more biomechs >:)

Untecna wrote:Well, what I mentioned was 1. The scale was ridiculous, 2. If someone wanted to use a species that came from another galaxy or area in the Milky Way, Xeosia could claim that the system was annihilated, and 3. Such an operation would just be unfair overall.

I'm confused. Why would the second case be an issue, if that hypothetical someone cannot possibly create the exact same species that Xeosia would be able to confidently claim to have been annihilated? And, doesn't this prevent people from doing what they want within their own territories?

THAT MOMENT WHEN YOU'VE BEEN MESSING WITH YOUR NS STATS IN ISSUES FOR COMEDY TO JUST NOW LEARN THAT YOU NEED YOUR NS STATS TO RP HERE

You came from Mars? Who was the colonial power that you revolted against? Also what's the etymology behind "Cerata"?

Soon
Once we get a bathroom installed

They weren't Xeosia's territories, they were simply "planets" and "systems", without names or locations.

As for the use of species, no specific species was mentioned in his post, so it would be ridiculous to assume that Xeosia had something in mind for each and every one.

He agreed to void it, though, on the grounds I mentioned.

Introduction

Hey there! If you're reading this, you most likely got it recommended to you when you entered our region!

This guide will give you easy ways to help you start RPing in IoC, along with some helpful tips and tricks to make your RP game better!


Land


Before you can join RP in our region, you have to have land on one of our maps. In order to get this land, you should contact the current cartographer through telegrams or through the RMB. You can find the maps here: page=dispatch/id=1557811
Note: You must follow map rules. This is mainly for the Moon, Venus, and Mars maps.

You will have to give them your claim, which should be of an appropriate size, i.e not a massive landmass, to the cartographer. If it is approved, you have land!


Factbooks


For RP, there are a few factbooks you may want to make to have information or other things for your nation in our RP for player reference.

These kinds of factbooks are as follows:

  • Overview of Nation

  • Character Information

  • Military Information

  • Leader Information

    Overviews generally have information about your nation as a whole, and can be beneficial for future reference. A good template can be found here: Template

    Character Information factbooks generally have information about your nation's characters. You can find some examples by looking at some of our nations.

    Military Information give general information about your armed forces. Note that all military have to abide by the stats we use.

    Leader Information is a factbook about your nation's current leader. A good template can be found here: Template


Characters


Characters are who you RP with in our region. They can include, but are not limited to:
  • Your leader

  • Leader's Family

  • Government Officials

  • Others

Generally speaking, it's good to include a few stats and a picture with your characters. Things like age, health, gender, relationships, and other things can be used as stats for reference.

For character pictures, a good place to find some would be here:
Safeborru
Most images on this site are NS-rule abiding, and you can find plenty of character images on here.

Not content with those? Thats fine, you can also look up other resources or search for images directly on your search engine.

To upload images, use the [img] and [/img] BBcode text, and between them, put the URL of the image.

For image hosting, which you'll need to get a good URL, use ImgBB.

Depending on your nation, you may also have different layouts or amounts of information for your characters. Look at some other factbooks to get some reference if you need too.


Stats


In IoC, we use some of the NationStates stats in our RP. These stats are, as follows:
  1. Population

  2. Average Income

  3. Industry: Automobile Manufacturing

  4. Scientific Advancement

  5. Economy

  6. Industry: Information Technology

  7. Health

  8. Lifespan

  9. Economic Output

  10. Human Development Index

  11. Government Size

  12. Industry: Arms Manufacturing

  13. Public Healthcare

These stats determine what your nation is able to do in RP. Stats are increased and decreased by answering issues. A guide to all the effects of issues can be found Linkhere.

Arguably, the most important is Scientific Advancement, or SA. Use this factbook to determine your tech level:
page=dispatch/id=1557774

SA determines what technology you have, on a few different areas, mainly for your military and citizens.

The other stats we use determine what you'd expect them too.

Orange Creek wrote:You came from Mars? Who was the colonial power that you revolted against? Also what's the etymology behind "Cerata"?

Lore-wise, it was a group of Xenophobe radicals in an international moonbase, so yeah, and I claimed land there first, so...

It was originally "Sentiara", a variation of the Italian-Greek word "Sentirai", "you will hear". Then it adapted to "Cerata".

So basically, they were just nameless territories that Xeosia owned? If it's so vague, why would that be unfair to other players?

I mean, we did establish a precedent that nations cannot monopolize cultures simply on the basis of ownership. There was this controversy in the past involving MU, who back then tried to monopolize German culture due to having owned Germany by that time, though those attempts were voided.

Going by that precedent, mass genocide shouldn't prevent newcomers from RPing the cultures that were supposedly genocided. If Xeosia kills off all elves, that doesn't prevent newcomers from RPing new elves. However, what Xeosia should be able to do is to prevent newcomers from RPing his version of elves.

Me who still doesn't have an etymology for Untecna's name:

You don’t need them to RP, some stats just affect how you can RP.
And it’s not that many, so you’ll be fine.
