The Kingdom of San Calia

25 Miles above the Lunar Surface
Inside the Lunar Module
Time: 8:00 PM San Calia Time

Commander Henry sits down, strapped tightly in his seat along side Lunar Pilot Ben.
The two are descending to the surface of the moon.
It has been a minute since they disconnected from the Command Module and the engine engaged.
Henry looks over at Ben before looking back out his window, pushing buttons and flipping the correct switches to line up a Landing Surface Radar.

Minutes Go By, The LEM Descends More

Ben looks out the window down at the surface before looking back at the gauges.
Henry does the same, flipping some final switches, extending the gear and lining up a radar underneath.
He partially sits up in his seat and pears out the window, looking at the landing legs and the surface.

Commander Henry: "Landing legs have been extended successfully."
Lunar Pilot Ben: "Copy that Hen-"
Commander Henry: "Hang on Ben, can you see that down there?"

Ben sits up in his chair, pitching the LEM forward slightly to get a better view.

Lunar Pilot Ben: "Uhhh, Flight Control, we are coming up on a pretty rocky area underneath us."
Flight Control John: "Copy Ben, do you think you can successfully maneuver to land or do you want to abort?"
Lunar Pilot Ben: "I can maneuver, we got a little bit extra fuel."

With that, Ben begins to maneuver the LEM slowly while watching the surface.
He pushes the throttle more, slowing the descent.

Commander Henry: "Down by 20 per second, Altitude 1000 feet, Forward by 10 per second."
Lunar Pilot Ben: "Keep an eye out there for me Henry."
Commander Henry: "I'm looking, bring us forward to that spot right there. It looks clear."

Ben moves the control stick forward and moves towards the spot Henry pointed out.
At the same time, the LEM continues to descend, getting closer to the surface.

Commander Henry: "Watch it Ben. Were picking up a lot of Dust!"
Lunar Pilot Ben: "I know I got Eyes. Keep Watching!"
Commander Henry: "Watch it Ben! Watch That One!"
Lunar Pilot Ben: "I got it I got it!"
Commander Henry: "No No Watch That One! Watch It!"

Meanwhile, Emerate Island, San Calia
Time: 8:09 PM
San Calian Space Program, Building 001, Mission Control

Flight Controller John T Lexing sat in his chair, smoking a cigarette while staring up at the giant screens, giving every single bit of information needed.
He looked at a timer, 1 minute to touch down.
John then looks over at the Flight Engineer scanning over his monitor.

Flight Control John: "Engineer, how's the fuel?"
Flight Engineer: "Looks good Flight, they might be close."

Lunar Pilot Ben: "Uhhh, Flight Control, we are coming up on a pretty rocky area underneath us."
Flight Control John: "Copy Ben, do you think you can successfully maneuver to land or do you want to abort?"
Lunar Pilot Ben: "I can maneuver, we got a little bit extra fuel."

John leans back in his chair, taking a long puff on his cigarette, exhaling calmly, in a few moments they would be on the moon again.
He looks up at the screens again, looking at a camera pointing down at the surface. Suddenly, the camera started to show a giant cloud of dust spitting up from under the LEM

Commander Henry: "Down by 20 per second, Altitude 1000 feet, Forward by 10 per second."
Lunar Pilot Ben: "Keep an eye out there for me Henry."
Commander Henry: "I'm looking, bring us forward to that spot right there. It looks clear."

Medical Officer: "Flight, their heart rates are climbing quickly."
Flight Control John: "Copy Medical, its their ship, they know what they're doing."

Commander Henry: "Watch it Ben. Were picking up a lot of Dust!"
Lunar Pilot Ben: "I know I got Eyes. Keep Watching!"
Commander Henry: "Watch it Ben! Watch That One!"
Lunar Pilot Ben: "I got it I got it!"
Commander Henry: "No No Watch That One! Watch It!"

Suddenly, all in an instant, ever single computer, screen, all information goes blank. Every single screen shows the words, "Loss Of Signal."
John jumps up out of his chair, his cigarette dropping to the floor.

Medical Officer: "Flight I got nothing here! Both Bio-Readings have ceased!"
Flight Engineer: "Flight I got nothing too! Everything is gone!"
Flight Control John: "Hang on, Hang on, it could be a loss of communications."
Lunar Module Control: "Negative Flight, we would still be seeing information."
Flight Control John: "Someone please get me answers about what happened! Communications, try and reach them."

The Communications Officer nods and turns to his computer.

Communications: "Orion 17 Lunar, this is Communications Control, do you copy? Over.
Nothing but radio static is heard.
Communications: "Orion 17 Lunar...This is Communications Control, do you copy? Over.
Nothing, no sound, no response, nothing.

The veritian empire

The Kistolian 15mt nuke, also known as 'Big Boy', has now been loaded onto a Kistolian ship, which will be escorted by 2 destroyers, 4 heavy cruisers, 6 frigates and one nuclear cruiser of the Veritian Empire. It will also be escorted by a couple of Kistolian stealth submarines. The ship will be escorted all the way to Veritia, where the nuke will be taken to secret nuclear facility.
These warships are the same warships that were sent to Kistolia 3 days ago, and which arrived yesterday.
This nuke is only have many of which are in Kistolia's possession, but it is the first nuke that Veritia has brought from another country, and is also the first ever nuclear weapon that The Veritian Empire has had, meaning that from now on, The Veritian Empire is a nuclear power. (I'm not very good at writing articles as you can see, but I'm always trying to learn and I'd be open to a bit of help.)

The Federal Republic of Zhousheng

It is alive!
Earlier today, a first ever Zhoushi lunar probe since the failed probe landing of 1976 has landed on the Moon, about 100m away from the original probe. The terrain seems flat. As the research of the mission, the original intention is to check the situation of the old probe. The 1976 probe's descend stage apparently failed, causing a minor explosion upon contact with the lunar contact. However, the main computer and the Zhoushi "for the future generations" plaque both survived. The only question remains: Why would Zhousheng send a probe to the place, that already has been crash-landed before?

And my biggest nuke is Fantadrome (lat. Fantadroms) which is a standard nuke (not a hydrogen bomb) and is about 40mt



New sebronia

Alright people. As I mentioned on Discord, I have written a new Roleplay Guide for newcomers. Please give it a read, especially if you are new to the region!

I plan on sending a link in here once a week, to ensure that new people that haven't looked at the Anterian world factbook entry are up to date.
This should propably and hopefully answer many questions.


Welcome to Anteria, the second planet in the Tendor System, home to humanity and all their beautiful nations!

The Anterian roleplay is a modern tech world completely unrelated to Earth. That means that the roleplay takes place in the current year; 2021, and any real-life countries, as well as the Earth, Solar System, Milky Way, etc simply don't exist. But how does it work?


First things first

    - The No. 1 rule in roleplay and worldbuilding is consent. So before you go and declare war on other countries, you need to understand that in order to include other countries into your roleplay, worldbuilding and lore, you have to get their permission to do so! That's why Anterian roleplay isn't just only acting and reacting, but often creating and discussing scenarios and events together with other members. Of course, foreign policy that includes other nations like for example travel bans, condemnations, or embargoes, which don't necessarily have to directly harm or generally affect the nation, are an exception.

    - Since this is a realtime RP in 2021, please stay realistic, especially when worldbuilding and roleplaying military. If you don’t know what is realistic and what’s not, just ask the Director of Roleplay (DoRP), a Councilor, or someone with enough knowledge to advise you.

    - In order for roleplay-posts to be canon, they have to be posted on the Regional Message Board (RMB), even if you already posted it in Link#today-in-anteria on the regional Discord!


How does one start roleplaying?

That is fairly simple. Whenever a new nation joins the roleplay, everyone acts like they have always existed. That way people are free to create their lore as they wish. If you don't know what to post or want to contact other roleplayers on a simpler way than having to write telegrams, there are several channels on our regional LinkDiscord server dedicated to roleplay and worldbuilding, which is why I highly recommend joining it!

On the other side, whenever a nation leaves the roleplay, may it be due to inactivity and CTEing (Nations "cease to exist" after 28/60 days of inactivity on NationStates, depending on if they are on Vacation Mode or not), leaving Anteria, or the player changing their nation in the roleplay, everyone acts as if the nation never existed in the first place.

If you want to add some spice to your worldbuilding, you can also create a wikipedia-like article about your nation on a website called LinkIIWiki. Don’t know how it works or how to start? Just ask Registrars or people with knowledge for help and take a look in #wiki-requests on Discord. We already have lots of articles, including one about LinkAnteria itself! When looking at the iiwiki-page, you might notice that Anteria is treated as a planet in the "LinkTendor System", which means that planets like Mars don't exist and that our system looks different. Anteria is the name of the planet, similar to how our planet is called "Earth" or "Terra". Same goes with our irl countries. As England doesn't exist in our roleplay, the universal language is often referred to as "Common".

Now we get to the most complicated part of Anterian roleplay: War.
Anteria works so well because we have the rules stated here. And that also applies to roleplaying warfare. To prevent newer players from jumping into the RP and directly trying to start wars or similar, we have several rules in order to restrict warfare. One of those being that you as a new player are not allowed to start conflicts like wars (including insurgencies and civil wars) for the first 28 days of your stay in Anteria. That way, we can ensure that people get to know our RP and rules well enough instead of heading right into low-quality and/or badly prepared warfare roleplay.
Additional to that, in order to start wars, there should be some kind of buildup and casus belli (so a valid reason for war), instead of just declaring it out of the blue.

Those are just some examples, so please make sure to read the
Rules of War
!

When talking about war history, we do have worldbuilt our own equivalent to the two irl World Wars; The Great War. In order to participate, I recommend contacting Zhousheng (Discord LinkFjana#6634).


The Map

Of course, roleplaying and worldbuilding without having an idea of where nations are is almost impossible. That is why we maintain a map of Anteria. In order to get a spot on the map, you have to claim the area you want your nation to be. You can do that by either downloading it or taking a screenshot (The latest map is linked on Anteria's World Factbook Entry, as well as in the Link#map-submissions channel on Discord), marking your claim (make sure it is reasonably sized and consider other maps like climate, tropical storms, etc.), and sending the claim to the Director of Cartography, Foxomexra, either by sending a telegram or posting the claim in Link#map-submissions on Discord.

When you have claimed a spot, your nation will be added in the next map update, which is every Wednesday and Saturday

White spots on the map are unclaimed land. It is complicated on how much one can interact with it, as there neither a void, nor complete anarchy with no governing structure, but rather some kind of governments noone can roleplay with, since there is no player to roleplay with. That also makes expansion of territory into unclaimed land for roleplay purposes a complicated topic, but not an impossible one. If you have something like that in mind for a roleplay idea, just talk with the Director of Cartography or Roleplay.

Need more information? Just read the Map Guide


The essentials of your worldbuillding

What you definitely need are the population and GDP of your country. Those are one of the most defining factors of how your country is gonna look like. Since NationStates-stats are highly unrealistic, you will have to come up with your own. For that I recommend the following:

    1. Ask the cartographer Foxomexra about the size of your claim.
    2. Settle on a population density, taking climate and other stuff into account.
    3. Calculate your Population (Pop. Density × Size)
    4. Settle on a GDP per capita (if you plan on being as wealthy as European nations, anything in a range of 10,000-45,000 ACU range is recommended, 50,000 ACU and above is quite wealthy, and countries even wealthier than that are usually smaller in population, like Switzerland, Qatar, Norway, etc.)
    5. Calculate your GDP (GDP per capita × Population)

Please be reasonable with your nation's population density and most importantly GDP per capita. Trying to be a world-dominating economic power like the irl USA will not work!
For population density and GDP per capita, I suggest taking real-life countries as a reference. If you are wondering what “ACU” (or sign ₳) is, it’s an abbreviation for “Anterian Currency Unit”. Though it’s not a currency but only a unit of measurement for international trade. 1 ACU is 1 LinkUSD. Similar concept extends to the so called “Anterian Wealth Unit” (AWU, ₩), which is equal to one LinkInternational (Geary–Khamis) Dollar and is used as a unit of measurement for the LinkPurchasing power parity.

Here are some very useful specific guides regarding different aspects of roleplay by Zhousheng!

ARS Victims hit the hundreds, first airplane to Mustelaria departs.

3 days after the nuclear accident, and 2 days after the evacuation, the hospitals in the direct vicinity of the city of Jeseko have been overloaded with ARS Victims, together with other types of radiation sickness. In order to avoid the hospitals being overloaded far beyond their capacity, it has been decided to send anyone who can still be transported by air to be sent to countries in the wider Sekidean Union, or any other nation who can host the ill.
Today, the first airplane has departed towards a hospital in Zhousheng, Mustelaria, carrying 15 ARS Patients, here they will be cared for until they are stable enough to return to Kentalis.

It is speculated that a total of 350 patients will be brought towards other countries.

War has changed, despite what some vault-dwellers may tell you, and the way Napoleon engaged in campaigns is far outdated compared to what we have now.

The veritian empire

The Emperor has just given a televised address to the nation. "My citizens, this year has finally come to an end. Now it is the time to look back and reflect at what we accomplished, at what we won, and at how we changed. 2020 had been a truly great year for The Veritian Empire, our economy has improved dramatically, new laws were passed to ensure your safety amd well being, and, most importantly of all, we were able to improve our nation in every sector, if that be in education, healthcare or manufacturing. This year will be looked back upon with sweet nostalgia. It will be remembered as the beginning of the golden age for our country, as this period of prosperity doesn't seem to be ending any time soon.
From the bottom of my heart, I wish you all a very happy year. May your friends and loved ones stay safe and healthy. And I hope thay your happiness will remain in 2021. Happy New Year."

MS.KAMILTRAZ SAVED FROM VERITIANS
The daughter of the late Nicersdahian President, the six years old Anna Kamiltraz, has arrived safely in the Principate. Her journey here follows her traumatic abduction by the Veritian Empire after fleeing the civil war currently raging in her native land. The Emperor of the Veritians, by whose orders the young girl’s father, mother and teenage brother were assassinated, was cowed into ceding the surviving Kamiltraz child to Vultesian care by the fiery demands of Princeps Jyasperitt.

Since landing in Vultesia the child has been taken to Capital University Hospital for a non-invasive medical evaluation and psychiatric care. Here she will receive the highest degree of care and attention, with an additional, careful eye, to discover if the girl has suffered at the hands of the Veritan Empire. It is uncertain when the girl will be transported home, though a spokesperson for the First Citizen's Office has stated that the Principate has 'a duty of care' for the Kamiltraz heiress

BLOCKADE OF WARZONE IN PLACE
Dubbed ‘Operation Agate’ by the Ministry of the Military, a complete blockade of the Nicersdahian coast line and near airspace is now in effect. Fresh from a change of necessary crews, embankment of supplies and with the addition of three further warships, the VNS Okeanos’ carrier task force, commended for its performance in the Jeramerican theatre, has headed south, to ensure regional stability in North Western Astariax, and to curb further escalation of the already staggering conflict.

The three additional ships, the anti-air destroyer VNS Morningstar and the two heavy patrol craft VNS Pugilist and VNS Brawler have now rendezvoused with the main task force and the mission is said to be well underway. Already the task force has ensured Kistolian ans Nicerdahsian ‘NNF’ air actions have fallen within the laws of armed conflict, as well as escorting Veritian imperial naval assets through contested waters.

Vultesia 24 News and its affiliates will bring you more on this story as it develops.
