The Sphere of Influence System

Summary
The Sphere of Influence System is a System in which Player nations can influence NPC nations to further align them towards their nation, flipping them to their form of government and being solidly in their Sphere of Influence. Conflicts are rolled via a chart, and nations can interact with nations via the RMB to help gain influence over a nation, maxing out at 10. at 10, nations can be turned into Satellites states (or outright annexed by neighboring non NPC nations), and will be locked into a Player's sphere of influence as a puppet nation. The Player is then able to spark proxy wars with other NPC nations with the Satellite state, growing or shrinking the size of it as wars are fought across a continent.

People's nations can be stopped from forming Satellites, however. So long as a nation is able to influence an NPC before another player reaches 10 influence with an NPC, they can battle it out in a great political game between the two nations, going back and forth on how influenced said nation is. If a player's influence is waning, they could attempt a coup, that itself could directly lead to a civil war where whoever wins gains the nation as a satellite. This allows people to interact and fight wars, without ever truly going to war with the other, as was common in the Cold war. Nations are encouraged to create their own spheres while being under other nations who have greater spheres then them, forming a great web of connections and interaction, where conflicts are just as struggles politically as they are ideologically.

Rules

    1. Any PC nation can influence an NPC nation. Influence is gained via conflicts had within a NPC nation.
    2. only 1 influence is ever gained per conflict per nation. Conflicts change per map update
    3. there can only be 10 influence max in an NPC nation. if there's multiple nations influencing an NPC, the influence is substracted from other nations, and given to the one influencing it.
    4. Upon reaching 10 influence, an NPC can become a "satellite" of a nation.
    5. Upon becoming a satellite, PC nations can directly influence said NPC nation to go to war with other NPCs, causing a Proxy war.
    6. Proxy wars are fought between player nations via mercenaries or direct involvement. if the Satellite is the attacker and wins, it gains land off the NPC nation. if its the attacker and loses, the Satellite is lost from a PC nation's sphere, and has to be influenced again.
    7. if a PC nation is losing a NPC nation Influence race, it can instead attempt a Coup against the NPC nation to try and secure it in its Sphere. this causes a Civil war within the nation, which must be fought between all influencer nations until a victor is decided.
    8. No NPC nation can be wiped out besides annexation.
    9. Proxy wars can only develop into full scale wars if all participants consent to the war.
    10. Proxy war victors are decided either by the participants or by how much support the admins believe each side has.

NPC Nations experience "Conflicts" every so often. This is how influenced is gathered, as directly involving yourself in a NPC nation's conflict is how to gain influence in it.
The conflict is decided from a chart which changes their influence or government. you can check here:

Altera

Nation

Flag

Summary

Ajayypo Duzluk

The Respublikasy Ajayppo Duzluk once was part of a greater Alteran state, yet was fractured after extremist elements fractured the Federation.
Ajayypo Duzluk has a large cattle industry, with sheep and cows being herded in great amounts.

Al Mustaha

Al Mustaha and Halbya used to be one of the same, yet when the King died, his lands were split among his sons. Whilst Al Mustaha is no longer a Kingdom,
The threat Halbya has with its retained monarchy has caused numerous squabbles between the two, resulting in a bitter feud.
Al Mustaha has a large oil supply buried underneath it, causing a great deal of strife between it and its neighbors.

Anuwai Kubwa

Jamhuri ya Anuwai Kubwa was once a Colonial nation like many states in Altera, yet gained independence after the Great War. Sitting on the border between
Kastia and Altera, the two continents have influenced much of Anuwai Kubwa, for better or worse.
The lack of industry has hurt Anuwai Kubwa over the last decades, with its only main export being Spices.

Buyakistan

Buyakistan was part of a greater Alteran state, yet gained independence after a civil war caused the Federation to crumble.
Yet recent years haven't been kind to Buyakistan either, as old rivalries with its old Federation allies have been rekindled.
Buyakistan rests on a large silver and gold mine, which have been exploited to the country's benefit.

Bozkirey

Bozkirey was once the Leader of an Alteran Federation with it, Ajayypo Duzluk, and Buyakistan, yet lost its position after a civil war in Bozkirey caused the other nations to leave. Bozkirey has remained bitter with its neighbors, both for abandoning Bozkirey to Civil War and for giving up the dreams of a Federation.
Bozkirey has a large Diamond industry, which has caused ruthless struggles to obtain said Diamonds for foreign export for generations.

Halawyt

Halawyt was once a colony of Tiresta, but after their defeat in the Great War, they were granted independence. While granted independence relatively long ago, they were never able to develop to the same degree as other nations, becoming a colony by a different name by many across Lerodas. Rubber is one of the resources the nation has in clear abundance.

Halbya

Malakia Halbya was once united with Al Mustaha, yet were fractured after the sons of the Monarch split the country.
With Al Mustaha no longer a monarchy, Halbya wants it back, yet lacks support and manpower to do so.
Halbya has a large oil supply, which it competes with Al Mustaha to find buyers.

Maringia

Maringia was a former colony formed by interest groups by wealthy Ostyern and Pelkland nobles, funding settlers to form a colony in 100. Founded on the ideals of Imperialism, Maringia is a Minority Estoran population ruling over a large Alteran one, leading to Paranoia by the Estoran Minority, causing them to treat the native populace more and more harshly. During the second great war, Maringia flipped represents itself as a Third Position nation, that likely would've joined the war on the side of the Volstorans were it not for entry of Aatelisia into the war. Now, it is simply a backwater of the old world, fighting for what they themselves believe is the "future."

Estora

Nation

Flag

Summary

Berzia

Historically a wealthy regional powerhouse of western Estora, the Grand Duchy of Berzia had suffered national decline well before the first shots rang out of the World War. The country is plagued with corruption, scandal, and rampant poverty, with minor revitalization efforts.

Boscitain

A once thriving nation of Estora, Boscitain suffered greatly after an inflation crisis completely destroyed the economy.
A once politically stable nation now suffers with internal conflict as many other nations do.
Boscitain is famous for its aircraft industry.

Krajna

Krajina had always been in a state of conflict since its independence. It has been unable to become stable, not helped by influencing powers over the last four decades.
Whatever the case, Krajna has begun answering these calls of influence, for the hopes of becoming stable under a guiding hand, rather than an iron fist.
Krajna has a large Agricultural industry which it exploits across Lerodas.

Mulacia

Mulacia sits in a weird spot, being one of the first nations to gain independence from a foreign in the newly shaping Estora. It was released from Tiresta, and Imperialist power that saw itself on the losing side of the Great War. While Mulacia released from a relatively well off nation, a recession in the 70s killed off any forward movement for the nation, and it is now simply a pawn of powers far greather than it ever was.

Ostyern

The Republic of Ostyern, still clinging to legitimacy as the seat of authority for the union it once controlled, has since managed its collapse by falling into a dictatorship under joint-control of the military and conservative faction. Efforts have been made to stem the economic fallout from failed union, but more and more radicals in the country look towards a forceful reunification.

Volosten

Formerly a constituent part of the cultural union with Ostyern, Volosten broke away during the dissolution of the republic during 214ME. Initially a shaky union of left-wing radicals and regionalists, Volosten quickly emerged as a socialist-oriented republic.

North Volstora

When Volstora was defeated in the Second Great War, it was split in two between the two powers of Aatelisia and Arvene. North Volstora fell under Aatelisia's influence, which turned it into a Socialist Republic, guaranteeing the loss of all old war iconography. Splitting with South Volstora, the two obviously wish to one day reunite, but North Volstora would wish for it be under a red star rather than whatever the south has to offer.

South Volstora

When Volstora was defeated in the Second Great War, it was split in two between the two powers of Aatelisia and Arvene. South Volstora fell into Arvene's hands, leading it to a Capitalist Republic, which while not completely abandoning the old ideas the nation once had, it still shunned the old government that caused their defeat in the first place. It one day wishes to reunite with North Volstora, though casting the communist party that rules it into a fire if it can help it.

Wielkia

Wielkia awoke after a squabble with Krajnia caused the two to fracture in a violent civil war. And while Wielkia hoped independence could save it from instability, it only seemed to worsen the issue.
Now, the nation can only hope that it finds steady footing under another nation, or be doomed to civil conflict.

Pelkland

A historical border march between the Arvenian and Aatelisan nations, Pelkand developed a unique nationalistic identity and a proud culture that brought it through the turmoil of the World War. Home to great boreal forests and swamp lands, Pelkland has long made use of its natural geography to defend itself.

The Yustov

The Yustov has been around for centuries as one of the oldest Nations with one of the oldest cities as well. Unlike many of the minor independent States, The Yustov's decay was a slow process going back decades, with the state following behind massively during the industrialization of Lerodas.

Chukuo

While Chukuo is technically an Estoran state, its connections mostly lie with Kastia, where it was a major player in the region for centuries. While having many trade goods to offer around the world, it failed in Industrialization the same way The Yustov did. Now it is fought over on multiple fronts, as its massive population still makes it a worthy state of being influenced.

Kastia

Nation

Summary

Dooxadi

Dooxadi was, like many nations across Lerodas, a colony of an Imperialist nation. However, Dooxadi had outlived its overlord, and now has to pick up the pieces as an illiterate and backwater nation.
Dooxadi is known for its silk and cattle industries.

Karnatia

A large and populous nation, Karnatia was on the route to becoming a superpower of the Continent, yet religious and cultural strife has practically split the nation into warring cliques.
As well as that, Karnatia has experienced Famine after famine, limiting its economic growth severely.
Karnatia is home to a thriving spice industry.

Khamkya

Khamkya is a nation that has, for so long as its existed post imperialism, been in a state of constant conflict with itself or its neighbors. While boasting a large Army, this Army's loyalties are rarely to the government, and rampant Bandit problems have lead even Government officials questioning if Khamkya can survive.
Khamkya exports large amounts of grain across Lerodas.

Laupulau

A small Island republic, Laupulau had weathered the storm of Colonialism, yet now faces the issues of the modern age. occupied by insurgents, mercenaries, and even its own army, Laupulau has a lot of work if it wishes to join the modern era.
Laupulau has a large appliance industry, thanks to outside companies.

Talkheer

Talkheer had once been an unindustrialized rural state with little for powers to gain, yet after the Great War and the proceeding decade of chaos, has turned Talkheer to be both be an industrialized state, and worthy of being influenced. It has great ambitions for a new age for the nation, yet lacks in punch to achieve them.
Talkheer has a thriving arms industry.

Pachay State

The Pachay State formed as a rebellion from Khamkya. The Isolated Jungle of the region caused Khamkya forces to be unable to even retain influence in the region in the first place, and so let Pachay State split off only after a few years. The Pachay State itself hasn't seen any real economic growth since its independence, but its strategic location could make it a valuable target from foreign powers.

Samaistan

Samaistan was a independent nation that formed from numerous smaller nations that united to hold better influence in the region. Unluckily for them however, they never figured out how to transition from having power held by the small nations formed states, to a centralized government. Now Samaistan is simply a monarchy with no power. Land sold to Arvene also wishes to be reobtained, which it hopes to do one way or another.

West Manchito

While West Manchito split from what we call East Manchito, both claim to be a united Manchito. West Manchito split from the East after a massive famine took place due to little government involvement. It was carried out by military elements who almost couped the east, but were stopped by the local garrison. Now the two are embittered and battling for the country.

East Manchito

East Manchito claims to be the continuation of the old government, hoping to go on without all the mistake the old one made. Manchito once was a republic, but after the government failed to resolve a famine, the government was almost couped by other military elements. While forces loyal to the current East Manchito governments retained control of the east, it has basically taken control of the government, forming a Military Junta to maintain order.

North Rahmia

Nation

Summary

Anoria

The Federation of Anoria had achieved independence a century earlier, yet an inflation crisis and depression caused the entire nation to become divided. A long age of strife began, and only recently has the finding of Emeralds from below has it been worthy of once more being influenced by the outside world.

Chotanea

A breakaway state from Anoria, Chotanea hasn't faired much better than Anoria has over the last few decades. After a disastrous border war between it and Anoria, draining both of them, Chotanea now exports wheat and cattle in high amounts.

Inagea

A native nation to the continent of North Rahmia, Inagea has much reason to hate the likes of both old Colonial nations and the other native nations inhabiting the continent. However, that hasn't stopped them from doing business with these nations to stay afloat. Inagea participated in the Great War, and while coming out of it intact, the nation has been rocked to the core ever since.
Inagea has a large oil monopoly in North Rahmia, which is exploits like many nations.

Moerasland

Moerasland was a small and centralized republic, located on the coast of North Rahmia. However after a devastating flood, followed by an uncharacteristic coup and economic crisis, Moerasland is now the target of foreign influence.
Moerasland is a heavily industrialized nation, yet is also where many nation's millionaires offshore money.

Surkotea

A thriving Industrial nation, Surkotea would've likely joined a list of influential nations if said industrial sector didn't stagnate and begin to crumble. The nation is barely functioning, with corruption rampant, and its once thriving Car industry being taken over by better, and more reliable competitors. Surkotea now has to rely on making parts for the cars it used to make itself.

South Rahmia

Nation

Summary

Altenora

A once relatively well off Colony in South Rahmia, Altenora gained independence and struggled to find itself developing ever since. In the 80s a massive inflation of the currency almost caused the entire country to explode, only saved by Military intervention and a changing of currencies. Now the country owes a debt to its own military, and struggles to find footing even now.

Centro Rahmia

Located on the border of Northern and Southern Rahmia, the República Federal de Centro Rahmia was once believed to be a strong contender for Great Power of Rahmia, yet was unable to rise beyond being a small power broker after nearly falling apart during the Great War.
Centro Rahmia is made up of numerous small states under one Federal Government, and has a large Copper mining industry.

Costa Roja

The República Nacional de Costa Roja was once a large state of the República Federal de Centro Rahmia, yet broke off after Civil conflict after their disastrous entry into the Great War.
Costa Roja has a thriving Industrial sector, with their main export being cheap yet reliable cars.

Codello

A once large and proud nation, The Gran República de Codello fractured into a million pieces after an Economic Crisis threw the country into Turmoil. Only recently did a Military General reunite the country after an age of Anarcy.
With the economic crisis, Codello's economy is barely functioning, and Piracy is rampant in the region. Wheat is its main export, outside of mercenary contracts.

Colina Roja

Neighbor to both Centro Rahmia and Costa Roja, Colina Roja would've once been part of both of them had they not split off from the two after their independence from the homeland.
Costa Roja likely would've been a stable republic, were it not for the large amount of Oil underneath it, which draws many a Power to it.

Veadulsia

Located in Southern Rahmia, the República de Veadulsia has always been under the influence of one nation or another after a shaky independence and revolution halting the nation's growth.
Whilst not having a heavy industrial base, the fruit industry, especially from still influential Banana companies, has kept the nation afloat and has made it worthy of being influenced.

Moraya

Moraya was a sister colony of Altenora, both gaining independence at relatively the same time. While more successful in recent days than that of Altenora, it still suffers from economic issues and a general distrust between the military and government.

Sangos

One of the few colonies colonized by Alterra investors, Sangos is a Rahmian Island Republic with a shaky history. Being neutral through both Great wars, it found itself completely isolated for decades. Now that it's finally on the world stage, it has found itself horribly alone and separated from allies both locally and abroad. However, its island location may make it a valuable ally to have.
