The world stood in peace as the rampaging armies of Hitler and Hirohito finally stood silent. A deathly pall has been cast over Europe and Asia, as the victorious United Nations are left to deal with the ruins left behind from the wars of conquest. A peace has settled across the planet between the major powers, but this unity was not long to last. Both the United States and the Soviet Union began to become more and more involved against each other, as the Soviet Union grew more and more isolated. The two largest victors of the Second World War now stand locked in a Twilight Struggle against once another. Only now, the Soviet Union's aging leader Joseph Stalin has passed from the Earth, setting up the stage for new leadership in the world's most powerful Communist state. It is now time for you to guide your nation as these two nations duel each other on the world stage, guiding your people through this period that has been created from the ashes of the most terrible war the world has ever seen.
This game is much like the successful and popular World in Revolution series of games, except under a different name. For such a time period, the name does not fit the nature of the game. The name itself was taken from the board game that only allows two players, however, this shall not be the case in Twilight Struggle: 1953. Instead, it will operate much like the older World in Revolutions, except under a slightly modified set of rules and procedures. For this thread, you are to submit your choices for a nation to place in this time period. The only nations that you may not sign up for are the United States and the Soviet Union, those will be dealt with separately. For general information, the game will start on July 27th, 1953.
In order to submit an application to play, you must post one to four picks in order to be considered as a player. If you are applying for a nation, your first pick MUST have at least a few sentence explanation on why you want that nation. Failure to do so will result in your submission being ignored.
Enjoy! Signups will last until Thursday, January 22nd, 2015.
