Roleplay Reel #1 (First Draft)

Iraelia

TNPer
One of the most important aspects of NationStates is roleplay. After all, the premise of the game is acting as your nation's leader and answering issues to determine the status of your nation. Of course, that's just about it, answering issues. However, for those whose minds are entranced by fiction, there exists more than just issue answering, there is roleplay. There are many ways to roleplay in NationStates; on the NS forum, in your own RP world, etc.; but the mot prominent form of roleplay in The North Pacific is the world of Eras.

Based in TNP forums and operating their own discord server, Eras has been used as an RP setting for about three years now and is open for anyone in TNP to join. Order is maintained by a team of roleplay moderators who ensure that people are obeying the rules of TNP RP. While things have slowed down recently in eras, a lot of important events have occurred in the past few months that will shape the future of Eras.

The biggest such event is the Council for the Reaffirmation of the ANU. In Eras, many nations have banded together to form alliances and unions in order to strengthen their nations position in the world. The two largest alliances are the Pan-Gotic Union (PGU) and the Pheonix Union (PU). The PGU is a union of nations that are ethnically gotic, the Eras equivalent of German. The PU is a union of nations that are positioned on the Pheonix Strait, an area of strategic and economic importance in Eras. The predecessor to the PGU, the Northwestern Union (NWU), had been working on an agreement with PU which would form the Alliance of Northern Unions (ANU). However, before either party could ratify the agreement, the NWU was disbanded and replaced by the PGU. Now that the PGU is firmly situated, members of both the PU and the PGU have gathered at a conference to discuss the actual ratification of the ANU. However, the proposed alliance is seeing significant opposition from powerful nations like the Ilian Coalition (a member of the PGU) and Xentherida (a member of the PU) and it's future is most definitely in question.

Another important event that has been transpiring is the formation of the Trillium Compact (TC). The Trillium Compact is the successor to the Trillium Accord (TA), an organization of democratic nations designed to further the goals of national sovereignty and voluntary cooperation between nations. The TC, having just been ratified, has now gone searching for new members to join their ranks. These proposed nations are Iraelia (as an associate member), Goyanes, and Syrixia (both as Observers). All of these proposed members have received criticism from some sitting members of the TC. Syrixia is a self described autocracy and fails to meet the important democratic requirements in the eyes of the Ilian Coalition, Xentherida, and the Hastfradic League. Goyanes, while democratic, has strong allegiances to the PGU and PU which has off set several members of the council. Iraelia is also a democracy, but a history of racial tension in the nation has put the TC on edge. Needless to say, these nations will have to fight tooth and nail for entrance into the TC.

On a more local level, there have been several ongoing national roleplays. One such RP is Modergen, a character RP within the nation of Goyanes. The RP centers around a terrorist attack on a newly built subway station in Goyanes by an organization seeking to re-institute dictatorial rule to the neighboring nation of Xentherida. They bomb the station under the guise of fascists from the nearby nation of Ninhundland, a sworn enemy of Goyanes, in the hopes that it may lead to war and further their end goal. Another active RP is Yavneh Roya. Yavneh Roya is a traditional Iraelian holiday celebrating independence from the nation of Syrixia. This Yavneh Roya, the Prime Minister of Iraelia invited nations of the world to celebrate with the Iraelian government. The final major National RP event that is ongoing is the Post Crown Conflict. Eras had recently gone through a major conflict where the nations of Samaria and Scallendovia declared war on the nation of Cogoria. The conflict has devastated the region and resulted in the destruction of Scallendovia. As a result, both Cogoria and Samaria have sent representatives to the Merillian League (acting as a neutral third party) to sign a peace treaty. Both nations signed the treaty, and the conflict has finally come to an end.

This has been Roleplay Reel #1.
 
Good work thus far, maybe make clear that those opposing the ANU are members of the two alliances in question, PGU for Illia, and PU for Xen (iirc).
 
Looks good for a first draft. As I was way too lazy to deal with forum formatting, I just made edits to the whole thing in Google Documents which can be found here.
 
"to the neighboring nation of Xentherida"

TRIGGERED

I'm not quite neighbouring; I'm an ocean away. Also also because I'm not nitpicky enough already, the spelling is "Phoenix" as opposed to "Pheonix". [/b]
