Retro Futuristic World

Retro Futuristic World is a Role Playing Game with a difference, it is set in an alternate reality, where micro-technologies were not discovered, and the world stayed in the culture of the 1950's, much like the world of Fallout.

The Scenario
The game is set in the current day, beginning in 2012. In the alternate reality, micro-technologies were never discovered, and the world is much like the views of tommorrow of 1950's Science Fiction. For more Technology information view below. Your Duty is to create an new nation out of the old although you cannot play as an existing nation.

The world culture is based on that of 1940's, 50's and 60's, much like the Science Fiction of the 50's.

Basic Rules

 * Your nation must be a new nation, constructed out of parts and or entire sections of old nations. No new land masses. Use what already exists. Avoid creating a nation that is obnoxiously massive; in general terms, any larger in total land area than the real world Russian Federation.
 * Your nation must have been established at some point from the point of divergence 1950 AD onward.
 * Players may have more than one nation, but the amount is limited by the strength of each nation.
 * Major nations are classified as medium to large land area, strong economy, superpower military, high technology nations. Real world examples would include the United States of America, United Kingdom and Japan.
 * Moderate nations are classified as small to large land area, moderate economy, moderate military, moderate to high technology nations. Real world examples would include Turkey, Mexico and Brazil.
 * Minor nations are classified as small to medium land area, moderate to weak economy, moderate to weak military, moderate to low technology nations. Real world examples would include Cuba, Congo and Afghanistan.
 * A shared nation is a nation that more than one user has control of. Shared nations are also classified as major, moderate, or minor.
 * Maintain realism in the game. An abusive dictatorship cannot have good relations with a free, democratic nation. A nation that has a long history of poverty, low technology and devastating civil war or other causes of poor development, cannot suddenly become, within a few years of time, a superpower.
