Hegemony: Battlestations

[Resistance]

Game starts Friday 16th

 

 

The game is a hegemony which is centered around roleplaying, invention, creativity and war. I intend this to run as a background game which allows you to put in as much effort as you like, with a larger focus on politics than on war.

 

1 day = 3 months

Time period: 21st century

 

Maps

 

 

Blank map:

Political map: (not currently filled in)

Heat Map:

 

Please note, other maps already exist such as oil, livestock and resource maps however they aren't made publically avaliable, they are for my own reference: for example if you place cities in areas with good conditions for livestock then it is likely that your city population will increase at a much faster rate.

 

 

 

Rules & Mechanics

 

 

The game is similar in many ways to the typical hegemony; you select a country and act as the leader of it.

 

Research

Research is decided upon by the person who runs the games. Please just tell me what you want to research and I will give you an estimate. It may come quicker due to a breakthrough or it could be later.

 

Resources

Like a typical RTS the game will have resources, this mechanic will create a physical issue that players will need to deal with and helps promote trade and maybe even trade sanctions. Resources are saved as a layer on the map which is invisible to players but is visible to me.

 

Cities

Influence over an area is decided upon by cities. Construction of a city requires a sacrifice of population and income.

 

Space Travel

The game isn't confined to the planet, and when space begins to run out on the planet there will be the option to colonise space.

 

Calculated Economy

 

Population * GDP per capita = budget

 

Both of these factors can be increased, and increasing trade can also increase your budget. Modifiers include housing, businesses and resources

 

Battle Reports

I will issue full battle reports and create a new map for every new battle that occurs. This will make tactical planning a lot more important

Country name: The eternal north empire

Political description: Fascist

Description: Once one of the largest empires in the world, previously known as the Glorious Northern Empire, claiming most of the northern hemisphere. However due to general neglect, poor leadership, ENE fell into ruin. Defeated by a string of defeats of smaller nations, the ENE slowly decayed away, only the capital island remains under control. The former shell of the empire placed the blame on the diversity of the empire, saying it all went wrong when a ruler who was not native from the capital island was elected leader. From then on, nationalism took over and the northern race of people dubbed 'Highlanders' claimed that their right to rule was absolute. Now, with the fascist government ruling with an iron fist, ENE plans to reclaim the previous empire and rule it better than any filfthy lowlander could.

 

 

I'll bite. Going to need a bit more information and thinking before I actually finish my nation's creation, such as how much land can I pick off the map?

Country name: The Federation of Swiss Cantons

Political description: Military Democracy

Description: At the end of 20th century, national governments of the world collapse because of so-called unlimited democracies. These "unlimited democracies" are the fraudulent Marxian definition of value from which "Communism derives" and civil unrest due to a "pre-scientific pseudo-professional class" who called themselves Social Workers and Child Psychologists banning Corporal Punishment. The SFC is multicultural society that votes for a global leader, similar to a Representative democracy. However people of higher levels of authority also have to suffer tougher repercussions of their actions e.g. A Lieutenant could hang for making a mistake that a Private would merely be dismissed and maybe lashed for. Corporal and Capital Punishment are practiced by the government.

The people of the FSC are made up of either "Citizens" or "Civilians". Everyone is born a "Civilian", and at age 16 every "Civilian" has the right to enroll for a minimal 2 year term of "Federal Service". In theory a completed term of Federal Service ensures a "Citizen" is willing to put the needs of the community before their own personal well-being. This is because Federal Service is tough and dangerous (by design). It can involve joining the Military, being a Human Guinea Pig, testing survival equipment or Manual Labour. The Federation makes it quite easy to quit a term of service before completion (even during war time), but once someone has quit they are never allowed to enroll again. This is to ensure that all volunteers are dedicated, whilst also discouraging people from leaving.

Icu,

 

Thanks for filling out the grid. Your data has been processed. You have $2,250,000,00 to spend when the game starts. Economy will reset every four years.

Unused money must be placed in a swiss bank account if it is not being used, this makes access less immdiate. Thanks for giving the numbers, I was planning on counting.

 

Archi, could you also please fill out the grid for your starting city. If possible could you give me numbers like Icu did.
