Eastern Europe is a region with a rich and complex history, and is the birthplace of both polka and the pioneers of international socialism. Our men are acknowledged the world over as superior chess players. Eastern European technology is also paving the way for space travel outside the solar system.
Eastern Europe and NS
Eastern Europe has always been relatively isolationist when compared with other major real-word geographic-based regions. The majority of roleplay occurs on the forum, and doesn't tend to involve non-Eastern Europeans. This is largely due to the inherent incompatibility with Eastern European roleplaying conventions and the free-form roleplay that characterizes NS-forum interactions.
Scope
Like many geographic-based regions, Eastern Europe encompasses more territory than the name suggests. Much of Western Europe, the Mediterranean and parts of the Middle East are within the map's boundaries as well.
Conventions
There are several "rules" in the region which govern the "accepted" roleplay's scope and nature. There are no real provisions for cases of "unaccepted" roleplay behavior, except that it has a high chance of being discouraged and/or ignored by many of the outspoken and active roleplayers on the forum.
- Nuclear Weapons - Nuclear weapons do not exist in the Eastern European "reality."
- Modern Tech - Ditto for spaceships, elves and intelligent supercomputers.
- Alternate Reality - History departs from that of the real world at least as early as 1650, AD and possibly as early as 900. Although many real-world events and powers have parallels beyond that, not all of them do.
- Map - There are plenty of rules governing who gets what on the map, mostly designed to preserve the history of past nations, ensure that limited space is used by contributing roleplayers and maintain the flavor of Eastern Europe.
- War - A moderated war system for creating and deploying militaries has been developed and in use. However, other methods (including freeform RP) are also used when all involved players can agree.
