Way I see it, unless somethings posted it don't matter. I am
willing to hold off if I don't get enough interest. Right now
there are 3 people I know who are up for it. I will post the map
later so people can get an idea of the style.

I haven't actually decided if I'm going to post it here or not
yet, but it's going to be somewhat of an RP and somewhat of a
game.
Though, I'll probably post it here b/c most of the peoplez
interested in it are on here.

Well it looks like I am going to have time to start up a game.
Its between medieval and steampunk with the latter in the lead.
I have everything ready for both so lets get a sign up for "A
Clockwork Grey" Steampunk game. It will utilize a modified
version of Peaceman's rules as previewed below.
Economy is stupid easy and I will even do it for yall. Budgets
are what you spend your money on. Price lists will be available
for military equipment as well. This is freeform and laid back.
I do hope to get some players cause I want to run this bad. If
your game just sign up by saying that you want to play. The more
the merrier folks.
[quote]Procedure
Step 1. Choosing country location, government, economy and
leader (Step1 Below)
Step 2. Fill out Nation Card your nation has 28 points to spend
on statistics (Step2 Below)
Game Turns
A combat turn is 8 hours. 21 combat turns can occur in a real
time day.
A real time day = 1 week = usually during combat or disaster
response
A real time week = 1 month = standard post.
Every Week = an economic turn
Procedure
Step 1. Choosing country location, government, economy and
leader (Step1 Below)
Step 2. Fill out Nation Card your nation has 30 points to spend
on statistics (Step2 Below)
Game "Turns"
Every week is a game time month. Meaning a real day typically
equals one game week.
Every real world week is an economic "turn".
We will now start building our countries.
Part One
Step 1. Civilization Name:
Step 2. Choose a Government (These modify your finished Nation
Card and can give you a 6)
Governments can vary to be whatever you want it to be. The only
exception that must be made is that you must have a head of
state who has to have one of the leader traits mentioned. You
must also post how often your leader changes, etc. If a leader
lives too long or has some bad luck in an update, I will create
a new leader based on naming schemes. There is an exception. If
you are a monarchy or otherwise hereditary government, new heirs
will be born occasionally and will inherit the throne when your
leader dies. If none hereditary you can name your own heir or
simply deal with it only when the time comes (probably not a
good idea).
Government types:
Authoritarian ( -1R/+1O ) - a political system controlled by
unelected rulers who usually permit some degree of individual
freedom.
Communism ( -1I/+1G ) - characterized by single party rule or
dominant party rule of a communist party and a professed
allegiance to a Marxist-Leninist communist ideology. A state of
the working class.
Constitutional Monarchy ( +1P/-1R ) - A government that has a
monarch or emirate, but one whose powers are limited by law or
by a formal constitution.
Constitutional Republic ( +1P/-1R ) A government whose powers
are limited by law or a formal constitution, and chosen by a
vote amongst at least some sections of the populace.
Democracy ( +1P/-1R ) - Rule by a government chosen by
election where most of the populace are enfranchised with the
right to vote.
Dictatorship ( -1P/+1G ) - Rule by an individual who has full
power over the country.
Fascism ( +1R/-1P ) - Fascists seek rejuvenation of their
nation based on commitment to an organic national community
where its individuals are united together as one people in
national identity by supra-personal connections of ancestry,
culture, and blood through a totalitarian single party state
that seeks the mass mobilization of a nation through discipline,
indoctrination, physical education and eugenics.
Monarchy, Tsardom or Emirate ( V ) - Rule by an individual
who has inherited the role and expects to bequeath it to their
heir.
Oligarchy ( V ) Rule by a small group of people who share
similar interests or family relations.
Plutocracy ( V ) - A government composed of the wealthy
class. Any of the forms of government listed here can be
plutocracy.
Republic ( +1P/-1R ) - a form of government in which the
people, or some significant portion of them, have supreme
control over the government and where offices of state are
elected or chosen by elected people.
Socialism ( +1P/-1I ) State Socialism advocates for the
nationalization of the means of production, distribution and
exchange as a strategy for implementing socialism. Social
Democrats advocate redistributive taxation and government
regulation of capital within the framework of a market economy.
Libertarian Socialism advocates direct worker's control of the
means of production without relying on state power to achieve
such an arrangement, while also opposing parliamentary politics
and state ownership over the means of production.
Theocracy ( +1R/-1T ) - Rule by a religious elite.
Totalitarian ( -1P/+1R ) - Totalitarian governments regulate
nearly every aspect of public and private life.
R = Resilience, P = Population, O = Offensive Power, I =
Industry, T = Technology, G = Ground Power, V = Varies (means
further choice is required to define this type of government
antagonistic monarchy)
Step 3. Choose an Economy the ability of the economic systems
principals to deal with economic problems. (These modify your
finished Nation Card and can give you a 6)
economic type:
Capitalist-Nationalist (Mercantilism) ( +1I/-1P ) Nationalist
economy whose goals are to advance national business interests.
Free Market Capitalist (Laissez-Faire) ( +1I/-1R ) Supply and
demand are allowed to reach natural equilibrium without
government intervention. Private ownership is key.
Social Market Capitalism ( +1R/-1O ) Free market system with
government intervention. State provides significant social
security, unemployment benefits and recognition of labor rights
through national collective bargaining laws
Communism ( -1T/+1P ) - Common ownership of the means of
production, with distribution determined by need.
Corporatism ( -1R/+1I ) Social hierarchy and corporate
privilege; Corporate relationship with agreed upon obligations
between employers and employees. Feudalism
Participatory ( -1I/+1P ) Workers vote on what to do, balanced
job complexities so that no one is in charge, compensation for
effort and sacrifice workers are paid higher wages than
thinkers.
R = Resilience, P = Population, O = Offensive Power, I =
Industry, T = Technology
Step 4. Create a Leader
Leaders Name
Leader Traits
Leader Traits are what sort of benefits that your leader brings
to the faction as a whole. When your leader dies, the following
leader will likely have a trait of his own. Yes, this means that
your leaders are not permanent, and depending on what sort of
government you have, leaders may change frequently or rarely at
all. All factions have been given a number of randomly generated
heirs where applicable.
Fertile: Your leader is a stallion among his people, and they
replicate this themselves. In addition to producing more heirs
if you're a monarch, your population will have a high growth
rate.
Mercantile: A man who knows his figures, this sort of ruler will
always get the most out of production, taxes and trade. +1
Industry.
Intellectual: As a tinkerer of some renown, this leader is
frequently the center of explosions of brilliant ideas and
occasionally fire or shrapnel. +1 Technology
Warrior: A fighter and general known well to his people, the
warrior is noted for his prowess in arms. His soldiers are
significantly better in battle than those of any other nation.
+1 Offensive Power
Religious: Your Leader is a Holy man, he gets the most out of
his people, they rally to the country. +1 Resiliance
Leaders Background Story:
Step 5. Choose a starting Location:
Step 6. Provide map with location marked
Step 7. Preferred Map Color:
Step 8. Country Background: (The backgrounds we used in PoN are
excellent data entries, this is also where you put in a back
story, one that hopefully ties in with other nations.)
Step 9. List at least one long term goal and three short term
goals:
Step 10. Choose five items your country has for export:
Step 11. Choose seven items your country must import:
Step 12. Create your countries military ORBAT I have a large

Also a note on tech for the steam punk world:
Tech 1 is basically the Zulu's, spears and shields and maybe
some muskets if they are lucky enough to get their hands on
them.
Tech 2 is about 18th Century stuff. Muskets, a handful of rifles
maybe, considered backwards.
Tech 3 is where the world was in 1860. Rifles, some new
prototype repeaters, the usual steam powered shenanigans. The
use of fantastical tech is slowly being used. N-Screws (Negative
Gravity ships) and blimps are slower and less armed then the
Aerodium powered vessels.
Tech 4 has mastered Aerodium and have advanced vessels that can
carry more armor, guns, and move faster. Medical science has
vaccinated people against common illness (assuming they can
afford the cost)
Tech 5 has made mechanical and Aeronef advances with aeroplanes
flying in graceful(ish) sky circuses as soldiers march forward
with early machineguns. Medicine is racing ahead and food is
being grown in the largest yeilds the world has ever seen. Some
even speculate that a phantom man made event called Global
Warming could lead to the destruction of the planet (those are
obviously just people scared to move ahead)
