Welcome to Terra. A beautiful planet located in the system of the Eridanus star. It is very similar to a far off planet known only as Earth. There are four continents, Tjarstkza, Lujo, Amron, and Osterica. Wars begin and end, countries rise and fall. How will you lead your nation?
Contents: 1 )The Continents 2) Foreign Relations 3) Leadership 4) Types of Government 5) Disasters 6) Economy
1) The Continents
Tjarstkza has had a history of war with Osterica, but recently they have become neutral and in some cases, allied. With other continents, however, Tjarstkza has various trade agreements but no formal alliances. Tjarstkza is cold in most places, with the countries closer to the equator only reaching temperatures of roughly 10 degrees celsius. There are many rivers, forests, and mountains. Where as the soil is firm and the land is rough, hardier crops grow well. Where as most countries in Tjarstkza have thriving economies and plentiful jobs, political freedoms are often reduced to 'keep the peace'.
Lujo, a continent that is very relaxed. The countries like to ally with poorer countries to take advantage of them, and to create business deals with larger countries. Lujo's main rival is Amron as they have had four wars with them. With these wars going on, Lujo's Union Government is corrupted, as the Mafia which is present in many Lujon countries runs it. Lujo's temperature is averaging at a 20 degrees celsius everyday. Lujo is similar to a tropical resort in geography, and its inhabitants enjoy the warm weather.
Amron is filled with mostly warlike countries, but some are peaceful and almost all have access to the sea or rivers leading to the sea. Amron's countries have had many wars with the countries of the nearby continent of Lujo. Amron is mostly tropical and deciduous forests, with a large desert located roughly in the center of the continent. It usually reaches temperatures of up to 30 degrees celsius. Most of Amron's countries are in poverty, due to the common wars that take place, and as such a lot of Amron's countries are a country in the state of anarchy.
Osterica, a large continent, was in a long, hard war with the countries of Tjarstzka, but now is neutral with some of the countries and is allied with others. Most of Osterica is corrupt and tyrannical, but it hide under the guise of a peaceloving group of countries. The few pure countries are small, or at the border of another country. Osterica has a mix of landscapes and biomes, ranging from pine forests to tropical beaches. As such, the temperature is also different in different areas.
2) Foreign Relations
Foreign relations in Terra are important, it will decide wiether your country strives or dies out. In a relation with another country, you will send a diplomat over, and ask for an alliance. In these type of alliances, if one of the countries gets attacked, the best thing to do would be to attack the person on the offensive. Say Alpha was being attacked by Beta, and Beta's ally was Gamma, Gamma would attack Alpha too. Unions, such as in Lujo are when the whole continent forms an alliance, and they support eachother.
3 ) Leadership
Voting: Voting is where the people or some group elect someone or a group of people to come into power.
Revolution: Revolution is a forcible overthrow of a government or social order for a new system by the people.
Coup d'etat: In a coup, the military overthrows the government figure and rules in his or her place.
Hostile Invasion: A hostile invasion is where a rival country invades another with its military, resulting in the change in power in that country.
4 ) Types of Goverment
Main types:
Democracy: In a democracy, the people govern.
Republic: In a republic, the people elect representatives to make and enforce laws.
Monarchy: In a monarchy, a king or queen rules and the rule is passed down to the eldest child.
Biarchy: In a biarchy, a king and a queen rule the land, and the rank is passed down in to the prince and princess.
Constitutional Monarchy: A monarchy is still in place, but has no current power over the country. It is run by a Prime Minister.
Aristocracy: In a aristocracy, the rich or powerful rule.
Dictatorship: In a dictatorship, only one or a small group of people rule all the rest and dictate all of the rules.
Theocracy: In a theocracy, a person is ruling on behalf of a set of religious ideas, or as direct agents of a deity.
Anarchy: In a anarchy, there is no goverment figure and the people rule.
Side/Economic types:
Communism: In a communist country, the government owns all businesses and farms and provides its people's healthcare, education and welfare.
Capitalism: In a capitalist or free-market economy, people own their own businesses and property and must buy services for private use, such as healthcare.
Socialism: Socialist governments own many of the larger industries and provide education, health and welfare services while allowing citizens some economic choices
5 ) Disasters
HURRICANES/CYCLONES ~ Hurricanes are frequent and most feared in the north-western region of Terra, and are rare in other parts of the world. They usually will happen every year and strike the coasts of Amron and southern Lujo, destroying parts of cities and causing major damage and causing chaos. Usually, a hurricane will cost you a lot of valuable things and more importantly, money. A cyclone is basically a hurricane, but less destructive and it is out in the sea.
DUST DEVILS AND TWISTERS ~ Dust Devils and Twisters are basically in-land hurricanes, happening in the plains of the continents. They are most frequent in areas where hot air is teeming in the atmosphere. They are also known as tornados, and their vortex sucks in anything near it and after its energy plummets, eventually is thrown back out Twisters happen in all of Tjarstzka.. Dust Devils are, in a nutshell, sand twisters. It is sand formed in to a tornado, and usually destroy hermit and nomad camps. Dust Devils are only present in central Amron and western Lujo.
EARTHQUAKE ~ Earthquakes are caused by tectonic plate smashing against eachother and eventually overlapping, and causing huge quakes in the earth.. They are common in the continent of Osterica. Normally, they will happen every few months, but only minor ones. Major ones happen every 2-5 years.
FLOOD ~ A flood is where a piece of land is overrun by torrents of water, and eventually a small sea is created over the piece of land. Sometimes floods are regarded as a miracle, but most of the time floods are renowned as punishment for wrong doings or just a plain old horrible disaster. Floods happen most commonly in southern Tjarstzka and the west coast of Osterica.
DROUGHT ~ The complete opposite of a flood, droughts cause famine and heat stroke in the countries they affect. These happen in central Amron and west Lujo.
BLIZZARD ~ A blizzard is basically a huge torrent of snow and hail that lasts for quite a while. They happen all the time in Tjarstzka in the winter time.
6) Your economy is is important too. Economy is how well your country is doing, as in wealth. When your country has a good economy that means that you have a lot of money. With a good economy you can take over more countries, buy more goods, hire more soldiers. A bad economy is something you should really fix; for without a good economy, no one will buy your goods and your country itsef is left in a rather poor state. GDP is usually a measure of how good your economy is. A smaller country almost always has a good economy for it doesn't have as many people to be counted as poor.
Rules: 1) No godmodding 2) You must wait to be accepted. 3) Listen to the administrators of the thread. 4) No perfect countries 5) Your military exceeds no bigger than 1/5 of your population. 6) Be realistic, the year is 2047. 7) I will add more rules, 8) The golden rule, Have fun! 9) Climate and other factors are determined by your continent.
