Considering that >POST is a fucking disaster (pardon the pun), I've looked into Realpolitik which Rumsodomy seems to be expanding daily. I currently am in charge of Hungary at the moment. Does anyone else play?
How it's different from >BLOC
There are Nations, there are Factions, and there are Corporations which players can take control of. If a player wishes to make a faction in a country that is currently administered, the player assumes control of that country. Almost every country is represented in this game.
Factions play into the game by vying not only for popular support but the eventual overthrow of the government (in most cases). There are four type of factions that can be used universally currently:
Communist, Right Wing, Nationalist, and Organized Crime.
However, there are some specialized ones available to The Middle East, Latin America and Africa. Those being:
Islamist (Mid. East), Drug Cartel (Latin America), and Warlord (Afrika).
As a faction, you gain power every turn in order to do stuff with (because factions don't need money apparently). This goes from essentially stealing weapons to launching an anti-government propaganda campaign. The amount of power you gain per turn depends on the approval you will gain as you play the game. The hosting country has the power to slap your goddamn shit at any time and launch a propaganda campaign against you, though. So try not to get on the radar.
Corporations just came out two days ago as of writing this and I'm not entirely sure about them so far. All I do know is that they have a specialized field and stick to it. They also have political power.
Money made in a country can be taxed and a corporation can make their factories/mines/wells in every country.
At any rate, I know I'm coming off as a hardcore shill, but would anyone else be interested in playing this with me?
