aka. Welcome back to Werediplomacy
Your canvas map to paint!
Background:
Following a disputed election and a tie vote, the U.S. Congress installs the most unpopular President in U.S. history, as Elon Reeve Musk becomes the 48th President of the United States. Shortly after the election, increased unrest, rioting, and a growing number of militias have given rise to ever-increasing domestic terrorism. In response, the President invokes the Homeland Security Act and declares martial law on the West Coast and other areas of the country.
Though highly contested, a Supreme Court ruling sidesteps the electoral process, disqualifying other popular Presidential candidates such as Mr. Beast and Taylor Swift from several states. Public outrage explodes when a sham election leads to incumbent Elongated Muskrat accepting a second term in office. During the 61st Inauguration Day ceremonies, Washington, D.C. is struck by a low-yield nuclear weapon, killing Musk and most of the U.S. Congress. The destruction of Washington, D.C. effectively breaks the chain of succession, sending the nation into chaos.
In an emergency vote, the European Union deploys peacekeepers to the greater D.C. area to secure international interests. With separatist sentiment rising, the free Republic of Cascadia declares home rule and secedes from the Union. The Republic of Greater Texas follows quickly and declares sovereignty, taking neighboring states with it. Soon, the Tri-State Authority, the Illinois Khanate, and Old Dominion Confederation establish their own governments, each rallying around regional interests and shared identity.
Elsewhere, the Pine Republic, Bay Federation, and Rust Belt Republic form coalitions based on cultural and historical ties, while the Great Plains Union and High Sierra Republic assert their independence over vast stretches of farmland and mountainous terrain. Meanwhile, the Enclave attempts to re-establish a government in DC (though they would never claim to want to unite the entire country under a single rule... at least not publicly) and the forgotten states of the midwest form a Frontier Pact, giving them unprecedented political power.
Now, the once-United States of America lie in ruin. The time for words is past, and a Second American Civil War now erupts as sixteen factions wage war across the land. They battle one another to reclaim a nation, to restore peace—to rebuild this shattered Union.
Rules:
A maximum of sixteen (16) players can sign up. Roles shall be handed out when the game is full at the discretion of the Game Moderator (GM). After sign-ups are closed, and roles passed out, the game will proceed to a fall (night) deadline.
The game shall continue in a spring/fall (day/night) cycle with each 24 hour period (one day and night) occurring in one update. In this period, the day time shall be consumed with debate among the Free Nations (villagers) over whom to lynch. Sometimes the nations (villagers) may decide to target more than one of their companions, in which case a Lemeard-approved TIE can occur, and all targeted Nations (villagers) will be eliminated. At night, the Loyalist Powers will retaliate and target one nation state.
The nation states win by eliminating all the Loyalist Powers, guaranteeing their survival and independence for years to come. The Loyalist Powers win by equaling the number of Free Nations, allowing them to defeat them in open warfare.
Special Rules for Werediplomacy (please read):
Of the newly formed nation states, most want to coexist peacefully as independent powers. However, a number of states are secretly loyalists of the old regime, and will use its nuclear weapons to restore a one-state hegemony.
During the spring seasons (day), the Free Nations vote through the United Military Governance for which nation to sanction and divide up. The territories of said nation will be split up among its neighbors. This is important because each free nation gets one vote per state that it controls. During the fall seasons (night), the Loyalists choose a number of territories to strike with nuclear weapons, colouring them black on the map and rendering them useless for voting purposes. A Nation which has 0 states left is considered as dead and eliminated. Loyalists may strike their own territories if they so choose. Loyalists may destroy a number of territories each night equal to (1 / <number of nations in the game> * <number of territories in the game>) = (48 / number of surviving players) i.e. 3 territories at game start.
When signing up for this game, please also pick a nation you would like to play from the second post.
- You may change your nation's name or colour, but not its starting states.
The game will start with a night deadline, but there will be no hunt on the first night.

Role RP Translations:
Free Nation (Villager): These countries have complied with the terms of the peace treaty and disarmed their weapons of mass destruction. This has now however left them defenseless against the weapons of the Loyalist Powers, and their only chance is to band together to try to find and eliminate these powers one by one.
European Union Intervention Force (Seer): Has a good cybersecurity Department. Can spend a year performing scan to detect the presence or absence of advanced destruction weaponry in a certain country.
Loyalist Powers (Wolves): Not satisfied to see the Union Shattered, these states have kept in their possessions weapons that they may use to completely wipe a number of states off the face of the planet, although these weapons take a year to charge so they can only use them once per turn.
Russian Intervention Force (Warlock): Has a good cyberwarfare department. Can block the actions of the European Union or the Ukrainian Peacekeepers once per year.
Ukrainian Intervention Force (Guardian Angel): Armed with Stingers, S-300s and Patriots, this force is able to protect a number of territories per year from the Loyalist's WMDs.
