Is anyone into nation-building RPs?

Reality is lemons and the internet's my lemonade!
As the name suggests, nation building RPs are where you can play the leaders of various factions but it also has a twist of strategy similar to 4X strategy games.

Is anyone interested, or needs any more details?
 
I am interested, just a bit skeptical due to how last times in nation rps I was bombarded with terrorist attacks and wars with no casus belli.
So yeah. I hope this one won't be the same as last 200 or so. ^^
 
@Dreamweaver @ChelonianCommander From my experience nation building RPs are kinda different from normal RPs mainly because 1. The scale is much larger and 2. Some numbers might be involved. The way I've played in the past is generally like a mod of a map game that takes place with turns and all. It's the kind of RPing you see on NationStates mostly but with some changes.

Basically you will be playing entire nations, and each turn you affect your nations' military, economy, policy or foreign relations (mostly, some games also have science and tech trees). So say in a turn each country might have action points and they choose to spend them on various things. Eg, 1 AP on raising a regiment, 1 AP on building sewage systems. This can all go on in a log sheet. In the IC thread, the players (through their named characters, such as King, Queen, General, Spymaster, etc) will RP the actions out. The mechanics can be fleshed out.

Thereafter it could be dice-based or GM based. Say you move a regiment into an area that you know is empty except for scattered militia. Most likely it will win, but it depends on the system. I probably can't do it all on my own and would appreciate another GM honestly.
 
Might be too ambitious, hahah...

Whichever genre is good. I generally prefer sci-fi or fantasy especially when it comes to nationbuilding. I have basic plots for both genres. Realistic and modern nation builders abound anyway, be it in the form of WW2 RPs or other Earth-based ones, I'd like to create something original.
 
thespacekid, I think I might take a look and consider joining... hmm...
But I myself is planning to make a fantasy roleplay series of nation-building, but the nation-building part won't be so detailed with stuffs like dice, economy and action powers,

P.S. why not Magitech? That is Fantasy and Sci-fi at once,

That falls down unto Warhammer 40k section. And those grimdark rps tend to end badly on my side. I am not interested in getting banned once again.
 
No, it hasn't to be Warhammer 40k. It can be anything else, like some Final Fantasy stuffs,
And as long as you don't go overpowered and insult other RPers, I think you're fine you won't get banned

It can be a bit more wacky while still maintaining a moderate level of seriousness,

Okey dokes then. So will there be a map and will there be a standard nation creation sheet? If not, I can whip one up to keep things easy.
