Region: Right to Life

Hello Everyone!

I have an opportunity for the people of this good region, a roleplay opportunity. The small startup region of Nuovoiork is looking for nations to claim land on the map, particularly if any of you would be interested in playing as any potential nations in the fractured continent. Additional information can be found below. If you're interested, feel free to send a puppet over and we'll get you started.

What is the roleplay about?

The roleplay itself is set in an alternate timeline similar to our own. The point of divergence is when Britain and France decide to lend absolute support to the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War, causing the war to be prolonged, due to better funding. While the south still loses, the Union is far less untied, and secessionist sentiments run amok.

It is in the 1900s that immigrants from Italy begin settling the east coast by the millions, eventually causing enough tension to cause a race war in New York City, with an Italian ethno-state called Nuovoiork being established and recognized in 1905. From then on, it would inspire various secession movements across the nation, eventually leading to the collapse of the United States by the 1930s.

In this alternate timeline, the story is focused on North America, particularly what became of the balkanized United States, as people struggle to survive and adapt to this dangerous, dark, and backwards mess of a continent. A new dark age has shrouded North America. We aim to shed a light on the geopolitics of the continent, the stories of it's people, and have fun while doing it.


How do I get started?

1) Get your kiester in the region, preferably a puppet of yours so your main nation can continue as is.

2) Talk to me about getting on the map, detailing where you want to be.

3) If you haven't gotten on our LinkDiscord, get on that.

4) Introduce yourself, and make your first post about where your country will start. Originality and creativity is encouraged.



From humble beginnings

Co-Founded by Nuovoiork and Legio de Caesar on July 20th, 2019, Nuovoiork was originally intended to house puppets and serve as a place for Nuovoiork to wither away after previous failures in Red Pill, Coalesce, Union of Slave States, and Nazi Eurasian SuperContinent. Low and behold, our region slowly but steadily managed to attract a few people, and was eventually repurposed into a roleplaying region, which it still is to this day.

The region originally had a very decentralized roleplay system, and was ultimately rigged against new players, and corrupt rping practices were the norm, as Legio de Caesar and Nuovoiork eventually reached an unrealistic, godlike status in the region's rp, and suffered greatly compared to other roleplay systems in other regions.

Despite this, there were a multitude of different powers to choose from, and the region was at it's most active, with many memorable nations like Heathers of westerburg, Les renards, The arkham state, Fascist state of nuovoiork, The third mexican republic, and the new nazi reich of america all contributing to the rich arrays of roleplay in the region. Business was booming, though it would not last. As the great powers gobbled up the land with no restrictions, the region stopped being competitive, and eventually ended in a nuclear holocaust between Legio de Caesar and Nuovoiork to end the previous system, causing the Great Restart we see today.


The Great Restart

This is where we are now. In this system, we are aiming to improve upon roleplay by modeling it off of Pax Britannia's rolling system (whoever has the bigger number wins in rp battles), not so dissimilar to D&D. In this, we aim to level the playing field so that new players have as much a chance at success as better established nations, as the previous system discouraged new players from entry.
