from a post by the GM
>Players in the game represent characters in the fields of politics, the army, religion, journalism, etc. There are no set rules or list of actions; a player sends a private message to the GM saying what he or she wishes to do that turn, and the GM makes a list of plausible outcomes and subjects them to a random number generator to see which one occurs. There is detailed information on the situation inside the country in various fields of life, from the condition of its armed forces to the state of its cultural facilities. Players will generally be briefed each turn as to how their actions went as well as the situation they are in (e.g. how soldiers under their command are doing, how their efforts to organize people in a region are progressing, and so on.)
there are over 40 players. a lot of activity takes place in private forum areas like the cabinet so what's public doesn't look very active, but it is active.
the roleplaying is really simple, you don't need to write fifty paragraphs or act super serious or whatever, the main thing is what actions you convey to the GM (because those are taken seriously, like you can't ask the GM to found a gay rights' party or something).
