If anyone is interested in organizing a regional map, that would be awesome.
Also, please telegram me your nation's general biography so that it can be ranked!
Super Power: A state with a dominant position in international relations, and is characterized by an unparalleled ability to exert influence on a global scale. This is done through the means of both military and economic strength, as well as diplomatic and soft power influence.
Potential Super Powers: A state which through growing political, military, economic, and social renown is recognized as being a possible candidate for future Super Power status.
Great Power: A state that is recognized as having the ability to exert its influence on a global scale. Great Powers characteristically possess significant military and economic strength, along with some soft power, however not to the same extent as Super Powers.
Emerging Powers: A state which is seen as having power and influence above the expected, with growing international influence, military strength, and social renown.
Middle Power: A state which may have influence outside of it's local surroundings, however either does not have an overly significant presence in global military or economic affairs, or may perhaps lack the soft power to be considered for Great Power status.
Regional Power: A state that has power within a geopolitical region. A nation which wields great influence within their area of the world, but may not have the economic or military strength of Middle Powers.
Nominal Power: A state which wields little international influence, economic, and/or military might.
Hyper Power of Democritus:
No nation has risen above the rest.
Super Powers:
The North American Federation - With a massive armed forces, state-of-the-art technology, large amounts of American-sourced soft power, and major scientific advancement, the North American Federation is the world's largest economy and a true Super Power.
New Metropolitan France - The NMF wields considerable global power, with an efficient and actively deployed armed forces, strategic military installations across multiple continents, soft power over French and European Culture, a powerhouse economy, and advanced technological sectors, the Sixth French Republic is a modern Super Power which acts as 'the World's Policeman'.
Empire of the united kingdom - EotUK maintains a large armed forces, and has strategic territories across the globe. With a large percentage of their population in the military, a major defense budget, heavy influence in trade, and historical British cultural links around the world, the Empire wields considerable soft and hard power. The United Kingdom and it's Empire is a worthy Super Power.
Potential Super Powers:
Virrgo: The new USSR has a large armed forces, which were reformed following the mixed results of the Soviet and post-Cold War Russian models. The country also possess soft power through ethnic and language influence in Europe, Central Asia, the Far East, and the Americas. The USSR's economy is self-sufficient in many areas. Recent involvement in Eastern Ukraine has shown that Virrgo remains a dominant country in European affairs, and the DEU Oil Pipeline project has greatly increased the nation's influence. The country was a former Super Power during the Cold War, and again in 2015 as the Restored Russian Empire, however Republican reforms and a declining global presence resulted in the country falling to Potential Super Power status once more.
United Democratic Christian States - The Prussian Empire was initially quiet in international affairs between the end of the Cold War and short-lived incorporation into the Kalmar Union in 2016. Following the reformation of the Empire in the second half of the year, the country was first able to prove itself a Great Power, and then as a Potential Super Power, by dramatically increasing it's influence globally. Close military partnerships with the Super Powers during recent conflicts has made the Prussian army one of the best in the world for it's size, while it's soft power in Europe and Indochina continues to grow. Should the Prussian economy be able to prove itself as being a world leader in 2017, the nation will earn Super Power status.
Great Powers:
The Kalmar Union - The independence of Prussia greatly hurt the Kalmar Union, and their abstention from active participation in conflicts around the world has left their military untested, meaning that they were downgraded from being a Super Power to Great Power status part way through 2016. Despite this, they are not be underestimated. The Kalmar economy remains very strong, and the country has a heavy presence in international politics and European culture. To become a Potential Super Power, the KU would need to prove that they can impact the world on the same level as the other Super Powers.
Puertollano - A rising power, Puertollano maintains a medium-sized military, and an independent economy. The country has a growing level of influence in world affairs, shown by their successful removal of all nuclear weapons from South America. Should their military become more experienced, the country may be considered for Potential Super Power status, although they are unlikely to match the economic power of the Super Powers for some time into the future.
Zackaroth - Zackaroth's armed forces are domestically developing advanced technology, while the country's soft power can be found in the information technology industry and oil markets, which it dominates due to it's geopolitical location in the Middle East. Zackaroth has also been able to exert their influence outside of the Middle East in recent times. Recent interactions with foreign nations has increased the country's influence abroad, subsequently making them a Great Power.
Emerging Powers:
Akksum - Akksum had been divided by infighting for over a year before a stable Republic emerged in 2016. The country has successfully negotiated with global partners, and is historically a major trading power. With it's military only being tested against mediocre opposition in recent times and quiet voice in world politics however, the country has much work to do before becoming a Great Power.
The turkish state - The Turkish State is a major power in Democritus, being in a strategic location bordering both the Middle East and Europe, as well as maintaining a large and well trained armed forces. The nation has long been a strong voice in regional affairs, however their involvement in Nicaragua has been all but forgotten by most of the global populace and politicians. Their recent invasion of Greece may well result in a change in their ranking however, and should the expected peace treaty be strongly in the country's benefit then the country may very well become a Great Power.
Orostan - Despite frequent clashes with various countries in 2016, Orostan had quickly redeveloped it's economy to be a major trading bloc (although one vulnerable to foreign actions), and has built a diversified armed forces. Orostan is well known globally, and this has gained them much notoriety, however only stability and continued growth will enable them to become a Great Power.

Conventions on Regional RP
The Conventions on Regional RP are a set of key principles and guidelines for Democritus roleplays. These should be followed at all times. Additions, removals, and modifications to this 'convention' can be considered by the Regional Government for possible implementation by the Founder.
1. Prior to participation in Democritus RPs, a nation must first receive approval from the Founder.
2. All RPs must abide by generally realistic principles. This can be loosely applied to allow for some activity and to account for varied alternate histories, however must remain generally consistent.

In all RPs an opponent has the 'right of response', meaning that further attacks should not be made by the same player against them until they are able to make an IC response within a reasonable amount of time. The founder will decide in consultation with the regional government and involved players how long a time limit is reasonable.
6. If the impacts of an RP event are deemed to be 'beyond prediction', defined as being unable to realistically evaluate and respond to IC, then this would be included under the category of 'godmodding' and be banned. One example could be nuclear weapons.
7. Other examples of godmodding include being unwilling to accept sufficient setbacks or defeats in a RP or dictating the casualties or actions of a force that is not under your own control, or making your own actions unstoppable/unkillable.
8. Former DRS/[Insert name of new organization here] legislation is IC only, and can be broken without OOC consequences so long as the other above OOC regulations are adhered to.
