Well rp countries basically are countries created by players and they get to roleplay with other nations as well such as war, diplomacy, etc. The player can create any country he or she wishes altough it must be realistic and must meet the rules set by the moderators, also known as the rp tips. Then the country the player has created can have alot of cool events or news cycles so as to show that its an active country forum. There are tons of ways to interact with others, from international music festivals, sporting events, etc. For more info, you could go to one of the rp country forums and see how they do it, most have their own styles on rp and such and its up to you to make a style of your own

How can they share and update their map? Is it separated from the game itself?

Well yes it is separated but for uniformity, your map should also be based on the world map the community uses

I've been reading some topics but I still don't get it at 100%.
I understand what it is, but what I don't get is how does, for example, the trade works? It's like mindblowing for me

Nation Roleplay, commonly referred to as NRP within Discord communities, is a genre of roleplay where participants assume the roles of nations. In some cases, players may also take control of political parties, corporations, organizations, rebellions, factions, or even individual characters.

When discussing the Discord variation of NRP, it’s worth noting that each server tends to have its own unique style. Some servers are designed to host a single game, after which players migrate to a new, clean server dedicated to a different timeline or scenario. Others maintain a persistent structure for ongoing play.

Having played NRP for nearly two and a half years, I’ve encountered a wide variety of approaches, although many servers borrow heavily from one another.

Common Features of NRP Servers

- Guidelines and Etiquette: Many servers provide detailed roleplaying guidelines, often in the form of documents or explanations. These outline the etiquette for writing posts as a nation, party, or other entities.
- Thematic Channels: Dedicated channels for specific types of posts, such as economic policies, military actions, political interactions, events, and more.
- Time and Map Channels: Spaces for tracking the timeline of the roleplay and viewing or updating maps.
- Templates and Resources: Channels offering templates for roleplay posts, character creation, or other game elements.
- Nation Forums: Dedicated areas where players can post profiles or overviews of their nations, visible to others for reference and interaction.

NRP offers a deep and immersive experience, allowing for creative storytelling and strategic decision-making, whether you’re leading a nation or exploring other roles within the roleplay.



Examples for templates:

"*Full Name*: (The full name of the Nation)
*Short name*: (A name that will be used to refere to you Casualy)
*Capital*: (your nations Capital city)
*National Language/s*: (Your nationa National Language or Languages)
*Population*: (Estimated Population of Your nation)
*Relegion/s*: (Your Nations Official or Largest Religion or Religions)
*Goverment Type*: (Your Nations Ideology)
*Head of State*: (Your nations Ruler who rules the state)
*Curency*: (The name of Your Curency)
*Concept and Brief History*: (Your nations Basic History and Concept)
*Flag*: (pin yout Nations flag Below)
*Claims*: (Pin your Claims Bellow via A Basic Map)"




And now filled:

"*Full Name*: Republic of Bulgaria
*Short name*: Bulgaria
*Capital*: Sofia
*National Language/s*: Bulgarian (for the Bulgarian part of the Federation)
*Population*: ~9M
*Relegion/s*: Orthodox Christianity
*Goverment Type*: National Socialism (Light)
*Head of State*: Hristo Kunchev
*Curency*: Juga
*Concept and Brief History*: Synced with the Yugoslavia one
*Flag*:
*Claims*: Just the Bulgarian part of Yugoslavia"
- this is a submition I made for a custom NRP I am playing in rn, as of 30.11.2024



Examples of posts:

__Pirdop copper smelter and refinery__

*This facility, now under construction, is set to be the largest and most modern center for copper smelting and refining in Southeastern Europe. Located strategically between the towns of Pirdop and Zlatitsa in Sofia Province, western Bulgaria, it has been designed to capitalize on the region's natural resources and industrial potential.*

*With an initial planned annual capacity of 160,000 tons, this plant is poised to become Bulgaria's foremost copper smelting company, expected to produce approximately 240,000 tons of smelted copper and around 60,000 tons of copper cathodes each year once fully operational. It will serve as a cornerstone of Bulgaria's industrial development, providing materials critical for electrical, construction, and manufacturing sectors.*

*Equipped with the latest smelting and refining technologies of the era, the facility is being constructed with efficiency and productivity in mind. It will support the nation’s economic growth by supplying copper to both domestic industries and international markets. This project reflects Bulgaria’s ambition to modernize its industrial base and strengthen its standing in the global copper industry.*

# ČSD Takes on the Reorganization of Railways in Outer Czechoslovakia #
***February 1956***

Following Czechoslovakia's independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the nation's railway infrastructure was predominantly oriented towards Vienna, rendering it inefficient for the transport needs of the newly established state. The Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD) faced the monumental task of overhauling and reconfiguring the system to better serve national interests.

Today, Czechoslovakia confronts a similar challenge in the regions of Outer Czechoslovakia, where the railway network remains aligned towards Berlin. Recognizing the need for comprehensive restructuring, the ČSD has announced its commitment to undertake this ambitious project.

The reorganization of the Czechoslovak railways following independence spanned over a decade. However, ČSD asserts that the current undertaking can be completed within five years. This confident timeline is attributed to the organization's extensive experience gained from past efforts and the relatively smaller scale of the affected region.

This bold initiative underscores ČSD’s dedication to ensuring an efficient and cohesive railway system, vital for the nation’s continued economic and logistical integration.

## PREPARATIONS FOR THE 1954 ZAFRA
**June 1954**

Last year's zafra was suspended due to all the complications and turmoil in the nation's political landscape, but this year 1954 will make up for that.

The government has set itself a goal of a million tons of sugar produced within the duration or the zafra, August-October, that will equal up to about 2.5 billion dollars in value, wich will help in developing other sectors of the ecenomy after it is exported.

During these two prior months to the event, propaganda will be spread across the island, encouraging people to take part in volunteer labor in preparing and performing the zafra; the FACD and people from the Dominican Republic will also help in achieving our goal.

**British Royal Navy: Naval Production**

*Under the supervision of Winston Churchill, the British Royal Navy shall begin to fund it's money into the Production of Battleships and Battlecruisers, further expanding the firepower and strengths at the seas and to ensure British dominance across the globe. As well as this, in addition to our previous naval post, we shall continue the research of other ships and naval guns to expand the overall size and weapon power of the Royal Navy.*

**-=-**

*Firstly, dockyards in Invergordon, Scrapa Flow, Devonport and Bereheaven shall be expanded. These dockyards shall be the production hub for the Royal Navy's Battleships and Battlecruisers. Speaking of which, five **King George V-Class Battleships** shall be ordered as well as the production of the 15 Inch Naval Guns which will be fitted in our main Battleships. As well as this, another four **Lion-Class Battlecruisers** and shall be ordered, they shall be accompanied by the research of the **HMS Queen Mary** which will be completed by late 1913.*

> *To further develop this production of fine Ships, we will begin the research and production of the **"Iron Duke-Class"**. The **Iron Duke** shall be equipped with four of the newly researched twin 15 inch cannons, sixteen in total BL 6-inch Mark XII cannons, around 6 single sets of QF 3-inch 20 cwt anti-aircraft guns and four 21 inch torpedo tubes. As well as the heavy armaments, the **Iron Duke-Class** shall be given Inclined or Sloped armour, thus giving it much more production under the deck.*

*And lastly, with the British Empire prospering with all its goods, First Lord of the Sea Admiralty Winston Churchill has ordered that the Royal Navy shall begin to produce **5 Battleships and 2 Battlecruisers a year** to ensure British Dominance at seas.*
