Peaceful Protests in Qui Latine

Over 200 people were found on the streets in Qabli, all calling for social democracy and representation. After 2 hours the dictator, Khaled Byn Corro met with the protestors. "Social democracy? Representation? Sure, you can have it. Here, I'll let you have a representative in my cabinet for every million in population your state has". After further discussion, the protestors were given what they want, and the dictator stood down to more of a presidential power level, with the cabinet informing him and making decisions when he's not there. The cabinet would also tend to the people and act as a senate on new laws [cabinet elections soon].

Also, (almost) weekly reminder to read the Anterian Roleplay Guide :)!


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.


Helpful Guides

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


Any other questions? Send a telegram to the DoRP Neuewland, or write a message to LinkOlympian Inquisitor#5559 on Discord! Have fun and enjoy your stay!

It is your decision my friend. You create your own RP, as long as it's realistic. Irl nations usually try to keep a mix and balance concerning their budget spending, but of course.... some sectors will get more funding than others. So it's your decision, but I would advise you look up the budget spending of some irl nations to get a good idea of it.

The Imperial Advisory of Hadian has overwhelming rejected any form of cooperation with the Flashboom government. All on News to their acceptance of the SAA, a known communist organization that mask itself under the name of an Alliance. The glorious Hadian Imperial Advisory immediately destroy the invitation and has moved to mark the "Flashboom Alliance" as a communist threat.

*Back to normal broadcast*

In other news, Valcouria diplomats and our beloved Imperial Hadian Government have reached a mutual agreement in expanding Hadian presence in the Arctic region in Valcouria sphere of Anteria. More development in the Valcourian and Hadian relations as they arise. The Imperial Advisory has also extended an invitation to Apple landia which was accepted. The arrival of their diplomats to the Juche Tower Hotel in Cheldian City is expected. However, our great and glorious God-Emperor Jon will not attend the meeting and already declined to grant "Freedom of Movement" within the great Hadian Empire. The Apple Landia diplomats will have to have tour guides in order to move about the beautiful city of Cheldian. This move was seen as being cautious in order to protect the citizens of Hadian. More information in this situation as it develops.

Socialist nations, even communist nations, still have democracy. Democracy is an ideal that isn’t based off a market ideology. A lot of nations are socialist, or have socialist parties in Anteria. I have my socialist party as one of my major ones, even though they only hold control of the House of Representatives. Socialism isn’t a bad plan, it’s just how it’s executed. So why are you so Anti-Socialist??

Because I don't like it's principles. it seems totalitarian. And I would like to keep my freedom. Democracy has its flaws, but it's not terrible.

We take pride of our superior race. We are not plagued with Degeneracy such as homosexuals, mentally challenged, mixed race, obesity and the etc. We are completely homogeneous and tend to keep our Volk as pure as possible. Nature demands it for it is natural law. Does the blue bird mate with a raven? Does the polar bear mate with the brown bear? Does the runt of the litter remain equal within its litter? No, for they all follow natural law and we too follow this creed brought about by Nature.
