In 2013 I and two coworkers decided we were going to create our very own RPG. We agreed that we wanted to do a sci-fi setting, one where we could generate our own nations to play in, as well as our characters and starships. So we each took on one of these tasks. One coworker was to design the character and ship creation, the other was to design the combat and action system, and I was to design the creation of nations.
Not to bore anyone with details, I'll just say that their two parts didn't go anywhere and they soon dropped the project all together. I however did a good amount of work on my part, even after they left the project. I originally designed it around a d6 system, changed it up to a d10 then d20, before eventually deciding on a point/buy system.
Recently I was going through the old files on my computer and decluttering it when I came across the system again. I got into Nation States last year around October and I've been playing since. When I went through it I thought it would be kind of fun to use it to generate a Interstellar Nation State. I'll admit, the system isn't finished, but the part where you generate the nation works well enough. After a few minor tweaks, I thought I would present to you my work so far.
