Point Based Guidance

Javnia

Take a look at this, I believe it would help. It would ground our nations in a measurable reality.

Game Turns

A real time hour = combat turn is 8 hours.

A real time day = 1 week = usually during combat or disaster response

A real time week = 1 month = standard post.

Every 4 Weeks = 1 quarter and is an economic turn

Disasters:
Below are the standard disaster points from disasters.

Weather	DP	Geological	DP	Man Made Disasters	DP
Hurricane	1-10	Caldera	5-50	Crashes	1-3
Tornado	1-3	Volcano	3-18	Fire	1-3
Flood	1-3	Earthquake	1-20	Explosions	1-3
Landslide	1-2	Tsunami	1-6	Chemical Accidents	1-10
Blizzard	1-4			Nuclear Accidents	2-20
Drought	1-3			Biological	1-10
				Pollution	1-3

Civil Strife is caused by poor government or by RP choices. DP 1-10.

Countries Resilience is subtracted from DP; Industry or Technology can be used to remove DPs at a 1 to 2 DP ratio. Foreign Aid RP’d but measured in Industry or Technical can be sent as well.

WAR!

Defensive Fortifications +1 vs attack

1. Compare nations’ total scores and a d20 roll.

Example: Naval Engagement add your Naval power and if in range your Air power compare to opponents power so If you had a 2 Navy and a 2 Air Force you would have 4 points, your opponent only has his Navy with 3 points. You both roll a d20 you get a +1 to the roll.

2. Winner does 1 pt reduction to opponent’s military (Air, Ground, Navy as appropriate) power.

3. When all military power is destroyed then damage is to Resilience than alternating Industry, Technical and Population.

4. A nation reduced to all zero stats exists as resistance fighters and governments in exile.

5. After war damage can be repaired using Resilience on a 1 for 1 basis, Industry or Technical can be used to remove damage at a 1 to 2 ratio.

Other uses for the points can be forthcoming.

Rilicon

can you give an example nation?
like, put Javnia in the template. I don’t have any authority, but I would like to hear more about it

Javnia

Based on the card we all know:

My population is between 100-499 million

My industrial power produces a GDP of 5 trillion

My technology provides a GII 35-49. Average standard of living with little advancements.

My ability to resist disaster and the effects of war are average.

My space program can put satellites into orbit.

I have a modernized air force with between 500-999 aircraft

I have a large army with modernized (this means old gear that has been enhanced with modern tech) equipment.

My navy is state of the art with 200-399 ships.

I have an average deployment speed.

I have an offensive power of PWI 0.13 the lower the number here the better. Dominance.

I have minimal strategic power capable of only inflicting light damage.

Rilicon

okay, I think I understand. once again, I don’t have any control over this, but it does seem like an idea that would work

Javnia

Deployment Speed

1. When a country declares war both countries compare their deployment speed.

2. If one is higher, they get a free combat turn action for each point higher.

3. That is 8 hours that can be used to move equipment into theater or to make attacks without defense fortification bonus and half the opponents attack power.

Offensive Power

You add to your countries attack power before rolling your D20.

Strategic Power

Strategic Power added to Offensive Power goes directly against the country’s resilience with no bonuses except the fortification bonus (if you have them) in a WMD attack.

Choosing a government

Governments can vary to be whatever you want it to be.

Government types: Modify your Nation Card

Authoritarian (-1R/+1O) - a political system controlled by unelected rulers who usually permit a small degree of individual freedom.

Communism (-1I/+1G) - characterized by single party rule or dominant party rule of a communist party and a professed allegiance to a Marxist-Leninist communist ideology. A state of the working class.

Constitutional Monarchy (+1R/-1I) - A government that has a monarch or emirate, but one whose powers are limited by law or by a formal constitution.

Constitutional Republic – (+1I/-1R) A government whose powers are limited by law or a formal constitution and chosen by a vote amongst at least some sections of the populace.

Democracy (+1P/-1SP)- Rule by a government chosen by election where most of the populace are enfranchised with the right to vote.

Dictatorship (-1P/+1DS) - Rule by an individual who has full power over the country.

Fascism (+1I/-1P) - Fascists seek rejuvenation of their nation based on commitment to an organic national community where its individuals are united together as one people in national identity by supra-personal connections of ancestry, culture, and blood through a totalitarian single party state that seeks the mass mobilization of a nation through discipline, indoctrination, physical education and eugenics.

Republic (+1I/-1OP) - a form of government in which the people, or some significant portion of them, have supreme control over the government and where offices of state are elected or chosen by elected people.

Socialism ( +1P/-1I ) – State Socialism advocates for the nationalization of the means of production, distribution and exchange as a strategy for implementing socialism. Social Democrats advocate redistributive taxation and government regulation of capital within the framework of a market economy. Libertarian Socialism advocates direct worker’s control of the means of production without relying on state power to achieve such an arrangement, while also opposing parliamentary politics and state ownership over the means of production.

Theocracy (+1R/-1T) - Rule by a religious elite.

Totalitarian (-1P/+1O) - Totalitarian governments regulate nearly every aspect of public and private life.

The following three can be totalitarian, dictatorship or authoritarian

Monarchy or Emirate ( V ) - Rule by an individual who has inherited the role and expects to bequeath it to their heir.

Oligarchy – ( V ) Rule by a small group of people who share similar interests or family relations.

Plutocracy (V) - A government composed of the wealthy class. Any of the forms of government listed here can be plutocracy.

R = Resilience, P = Population, O = Offensive Power, I = Industry, T = Technology, G = Ground Power, SP = Strategic Power, DS = Deployment Strength, V = Varies (means further choice is required to define this type of government antagonistic monarchy)

Choose an Economy – the ability of the economic systems principals to deal with economic problems.

Economic type: Modify your Nation Card

Capitalist-Nationalist (Mercantilism) (+1I/-1P) – Nationalist economy whose goals are to advance national business interests.

Free Market Capitalist (Laissez-Faire) (+1I/-1R) – Supply and demand are allowed to reach natural equilibrium without government intervention. Private ownership is key.

Social Market Capitalism (+1P/-1I) – Free market system with government intervention. State provides significant social security, unemployment benefits and recognition of labor rights through national collective bargaining laws

Communism (-1T/+1P) - Common ownership of the means of production, with distribution determined by need.

Corporatism (-1P/+1I) – Social hierarchy and corporate privilege; Corporate relationship with agreed upon obligations between employers’ and employees. Feudalism

Participatory (-1I/+1P) – Workers vote on what to do, balanced job complexities so that no one is in charge, compensation for effort and sacrifice workers are paid higher wages than thinkers.

R = Resilience, P = Population, O = Offensive Power, I = Industry, T = Technology

Inmoria

this is turning into DnD and im lovin it

Dagestani Socialist State

This is actualy a very nice idea

Dagestani Socialist State

Javnia

We are basing this of off nationstates info or what?

Javnia

Right now, I’m just seeing who would be interested or if anyone sees ways to improve it. However, If enough people like it I will approach our representatives to get it approved.

The point system allows the moderator to assign points, ie 40, 33, 27 based on how strong he feels the nation should be. It also allows a nation to choose a more difficult country to play (22 points). You assign the points to the statistics based on how you feel your country should be. This allows us all to be different yet measureable.
