Okay, this is a forum game occurring in a fictional Latin American country. The players are playing as decision-makers (President, Supreme Court Judge, Legislator, Military, etc) in the country and they themselves determine their goals. Of course, the goal tend to be the acquisition of power to get reforms through (or to prevent reforms).

The game is turn-based, a typical turn lasting four-to-five days. The GM (that would be me) would receive the actions of the players through PM, and update during every new turn. A turn represents six months.

You could start choosing your characters now. Here's the stats sheet for the game:

UNITED STATES OF PALOMBIA
(Estados Unidos de Palombia)
==
Early 1945
==
Next Election: Late 1948
==
Flag: Three vertical stripes, yellow, blue and red (formally adopted in Early 1925)
==
General information: The United States of Palombia is a proud independent state which lies between Brazil, Colombia, Peru and Venezuela in the northern part of South America. It is a landlocked mostly agrarian country which exports rubber, fruits and some minerals.
==
Independence: Late 1923 (from Colombia)
System: Presidential Federal Republic
==
Foreign relations:
Good relations with the United States
Decent relations with Brazil, Peru and Venezuela
Strained relations with Colombia
==
System of government: The Palombian constitution is dividing the government into three branches, the executive, legisative and the judicial, which each are separated but dependent from one another. The executive can sit for two consecutive terms. There are no term limits for supreme court judges, assembly members, senators or governors. Majoritarian single constituency voting system. Equal suffrage for males above 22 years of age. Elections are held every four years for president, governors, the lower chamber of the parliament and the state parliaments. Cronyism, voter intimidation, bribes and political violence are existing and are prevalent in some voting districts.
==
Father of the Nation: Salvador Ruiz (age 78, PPP, self-appointed in late 1944)
==
Popularity: 66%
==
The Father of the Nation is Salvador Ruiz, who was bestowed that title by the Senate and the Assembly in 1944 upon resigning from his presidency. In practice, it means a life-time immunity to legal charges, no taxation, the right to access all public documents, the right to enter all public buildings and even walk into all meetings and conferences held within any level of the state. His birthday is a national holiday. The Father of the Nation is also allowed a personal body guard of sixty men. Officially, he is neither the head of state or the head of government, but many analysts claim that Salvador Ruiz still is the de-facto leader of Palombia. His two oldest sons are President and Vice President respectively, and his third son is the General Secretary of the PPP. His grandson is the captain of the Ruiz Bodyguard. Salvador Ruiz is well-respected by the people, and seen as a national hero.
==
The Ruiz Bodyguard is an elite division which is independent from the Palombian army and officially a private personal guard. In reality, they have access to all public institutions and have more modern weapons than the regular army. They are dressed in blue blue uniforms with red and yellow berets on their heads. All members of the Bodyguard need to be at least six feet tall and of Criollo origin.
==
Captain of the Ruiz Bodyguard: Luis Reyna-Ruiz (age 22, PPP, appointed in late 1944)
Infantry: 65 men
Armoured cars: 3 vehicles
==
President: Joaquin Ruiz (age 52, term 1, PPP)
Vice President: Pablo Ruiz (age 47, term 1, PPP)
==
Popularity: 53%
==
The President is responsible for setting up a cabinet, presenting a budget, appointing supreme court judges, and could also propose laws and constitutional amendments. A simple majority support (51%) from both chambers of the congress is needed to gain support for laws and appointments, whereas a super-majority support (67%) is required to carry through constitutional amendments. The president can also veto the congress, but can be overridden with a super-majority opposition to the veto. The president can also declare martial law, but that does require a super-majority too. The President is elected in a single-round election. The candidate with the plurality of votes is winning the elections.
==
Chairman of the Senate: Sancho Vega (age 57, term 3, PPP)
==
Popularity: 30%
==
Seats of the Senate: 25
==
PPP: 23
PLN: 2
==
The senators are appointed by the state governors. Each state has equal representation in the senate, with five senators each. The senate can propose laws, and veto law proposals from the people's assembly. The Senate also has the power to impeach the president, but would need a 67% chamber majority to do that.
==
Chairman of the People's Assembly: Raul Navarro (age 45, PPP, Term 1)
==
Popularity: 45%
==
Seats of the People's Assembly: 99
==
PPP: 85
PLN: 11
independents: 3
==
The assemblymen are directly elected in a FPTP electoral system. The states are represented according to their population, but the outline of the electoral districts are favouring the countryside at the expense of the urban areas. The People's Assembly can propose laws, but cannot veto law proposals from the Senate.
==
Supreme Court Judges:
Santo Prado (age 66, independent, appointed Early 1930)
Julio Trevino (age 63, independent, appointed Late 1936)
Diego Bertiz (age 65, independent, appointed Early 1941)
==
There are three Supreme Court Judges, which are appointed by the President upon the death or retirement of their predecessors. They can declare laws unconstitutional and block constitutional amendments, as well as establish judicial imperatives by judging in favour or oppose a verdict in a lower branch of government. Every judge in the Supreme Court has a veto, so affirmative decisions have to be taken in consensus.
==
Demography: There is a high fertility rate, but also a high mortality rate, where two out of five children are not expected to survive their first five years.
==
Population: 3 500 000
Annual Population Growth: 1,6%
==
Criollos: 5%
Mestizos: 45%
Indios: 35%
Negros: 10%
Other: 5%
==
Catholic: 80%
Animism: 15%
Protestantism: 2%
Judaism: 2%
Other: 1%
==
There are five states in Palombia, which each are named after their capitol city. The states are responsible for police, primary education, infrastructure and the (very rudimentary) public welfare system. They are not taxing their constituents however, instead receiving money from the federal state to care for their needs.
==
I: State of Palombo
State Capitol: Palombo (Population 250 000, Capitol of Palombia)
Governor: Montego Alonzo (age 39, PLN, term 1)
Popularity: 56%
Senators: 5
PPP: 3
PLN: 2
Assemblymen: 33
PPP: 19
PLN: 11
independents: 3
==
The state of Palombo is not only the seat of the capitol of all of Palombia, but also the most populous, the wealthiest and the most well-developed state of the country. The city of Palombo is the only urban area in Palombia where nascent manufacturing industries are developing, though small-scale artisans and traditional plaza markets are still dominating the city-scape. Access to electricity, communications and water is good. The city is also the centre of the Jewish, German, Italian, Chinese and Japanese immigrant communities, which all are flourishing in trades. The city is also the seat of the only university of Palombia, the Colegio Nacional de la tecnología, la ciencia y el comercio (CNTCC). The state economy is generally rural, and most of the land is owned by large estates, though around a tenth of the land is owned communally by the villages as commons, often used to grow subsistence crops. Recently, foreign companies have shown interest in purchasing land in the state.
==
II: State of Oviedo
State Capitol: Oviedo (Population 100 000)
Governor: Pancho Sanchez (age 46, PPP, term 2)
Popularity: 47%
Senators: 5
PPP: 5
Assemblymen: 18
PPP: 18
==
The state of Oviedo is located to the south of Palombo and is a rugged landscape of folded hills and valleys, covered in patches of green vegetation. The state has good quality of it's soil, and produces almost half of the base food which the country is in need of. Despite that, the mostly rural population are mostly composed of landless rural workers, though 15% of the land is communal. Access to electricity and healthcare is bad, but the access to education is comparatively good.
==
III: State of Zelaya
State Capitol: Zelaya (Population 50 000)
Governor: Salvador Montoya (age 42, PPP, term 1)
Popularity: 42%
Senators: 5
PPP: 5
Assemblymen: 17
PPP: 17
==
The state of Zelaya is mostly known for its rubber plantations. Rubber trees are sapped of their juice and the material is exported to the United States for refinement. The conditions for rubber workers are appalling, and hundreds of workers are succumbing to diseases and accidents every year. The major owner of the rubber industry is the Meyer & Leonard Firm, which is based in the United States. The economy of Zelaya is mostly rural and dominated by large land-owners, though small privately owned subsistence farms also are existing. 20% of the land is communally owned, mostly by indigenous communities, but that land is of bad quality. Undernourishment is usual. Access to education, healthcare and electricity is bad.
==
IV: State of Theodoros
State Capitol: Theodoros (Population, 50 000)
Governor: Carlos Martinez (age 36, PPP, term 1)
Popularity: 53%
Senators: 5
PPP: 5
Assemblymen: 16
PPP: 16
==
The state of Theodoros is predominantly based around the Theodoros silver mine, which is owned and operated by the Bolton Standard Minerals Extraction Company, which is based in the United States. The conditions for silver miners are lethal, and their working conditions are horrible. The economy is mostly rural and under the control of large land-owners, but more focused on subsistence than on exports. Around a tenth of the soil is under the ownership of private farmers and communities. The soil has the worst quality in all of Palombia, and diseases and mortality rates are generally higher. The access to education, healthcare and electricity is bad.
==
V: State of Avianos
State Capitol: Avianos (Population 50 000)
Governor: Rafael Aquino (age 45, PPP, term 2)
Popularity: 39%
Senators: 5
PPP: 5
Assemblymen: 15
PPP: 15
==
The state of Avianos is considered the most beautiful state of Palombia, but is also the poorest state, with a majority indigenous population (85%) and an agriculture that is mostly centred on subsistence. Most of the land is owned communally (55%) and the rest is mostly consisting of small patches owned by individual farmers. Electricity, running water, healthcare and education are virtually non-existent, and the roads are continuously wrecked by heavy raining from the Andes, leading to bad communications. Illiteracy is rampant and about half of the population doesn't understand Spanish. Once, it was the centre of the now extinct Zichú Culture, which has left ruins of pyramid cities scattered over the countryside and the jungle.
==
The Amazonas Territory
==
The Amazonas Territory is almost exclusively consisting of a thick rainforest, rivers and swamps, and is a possession of the Federal State, which means that the President is directly responsible for managing it. Despite being more than half of Palombia's territory, the Amazones have no roads, no civil institutions and are mostly inhabited by indigenous tribes who are living on small-scale subsistence agriculture or as hunters and gatherers. It is a hostile environment, filled with malaria, reptiles, poisonous insects and predators. It is also the rumoured home of the Marsupilami, a spotted lemurian animal with a nine metre tail, but no reliable information on it's existence has been proven.
==
Head of the Central Bank: Pedro Avila (age 61, independent, appointed late 1937)
==
Interest rate: 1,5%
==
The Central Bank sets the national interest rates by buying or selling obligations. Palombia suffered from hyper-inflation following independence, so the general tradition is to try to control inflation with the help of interest rates, even at the expense of growth.
==
Economy: Palombia is a mostly agricultural nation, with almost six sevenths of the population living as rural workers, subsistence farmers or in villages and hamlets. The base crops are maize and potatoes. Tobacco, sugar, coffee and cacao are grown commercially and exported, mostly to Colombia for quite low prices. The country imports meat, energy, oil and machinery, and suffers from a slight trade deficit. The two main income-generating areas are the silver mine of Theodoros and the rubber plantations of Zelaya. Most of the population is impoverished and undernourished, though starvation is unusual in the urban areas. Most of the economy (85%) remains under control of large landlords who are employing rural workers or exploiting indebted landless farmers as debt slaves. Due to the Second World War, the economy is suffering shortages and low growth numbers, though the war is soon expected to be over.
==
GDP: 2 500 000 000 P$
GDP Capita: 714 P$
==
Inflation: 0,5%
Unemployment: 7,5%
==
Growth: 2,0%
==
Education: The education system is mostly focused on a six-year primary school, which officially is compulsory but de-facto only is enrolling a third of the children in the country on a semi-regular basis. While the buildings and the books are provided by the federal state, the school uniforms and lunches must be funded by the families of the children. Also, many children are helping their parents work. In the urban areas, there are private schools which often are run by the Catholic Church or various foundations, and children from the middle classes and the upper class are sent to such schools by their parents. It is also very usual that the children of landlords are taught by privately hired teachers whom are schooling them in their own houses. There is one university, with capacity for 6000 students, which is funded by student fees and by subsidies from the state (the building). There is also one military academy which is teaching officers.
==
Access to primary education: 36,3%
Access to secondary education: 3,5%
==
Literacy: 20%
==
Healthcare: The federal state is funding emergency clinics in each of the provincial centres, and is also providing medicines, the salaries of the medical staff of those clinics and the nurseries of schools and orphanages. The rest of the healthcare, including the major hospital of Palombo, are private institutions. The same thing for chemists and minor hospitals. Most doctors in Palombia are private physicians who are making visits to their patients. There are no publicly funded vaccination programmes, and people are regularly dying of malaria, pneumonia, tuberculosis, dengue, leprosy, polio, typhus and the measles. The main treatment for contagious diseases is to put the afflicted individuals (provided they are from the lower classes) in enclosed colonies where they are treated with a minimum of care and generally die after a while.
==
Access to basic healthcare: 50%
Access to advanced healthcare: 12,5%
==
Energy: A third of the energy is produced by domestic providers, mostly oil and coal powerplants, whereas the rest is imported from Colombia for a price above market fees. Most households in city centres do have access to electricity, as most factories in Palombo. For ordinary urban households, given that they have electricity, it's practical use is limited to three to four hours a day. Most of the mansions on the countrysided do have electricity, but ordinary people don't have access to it.
==
Access to electricity: 25%
==
Infrastructure: Most of the roads are dirt roads of quiet low quality. In the more remote parts of the country, they are generally flushed away and cut off by the rain period and need to be rebuilt every year. The main railway is connecting Palombo with Colombia, and to some extent ferries are also used to traffic persons, goods and services.
==
Infrastructure: 20%
==
Media: There is one government-controlled radio frequency which is sending pro-government propaganda. There are two privately owned national newspapers, one conservative and one independent with a slightly liberal slant. Radio is reaching most of the country, whereas the newspapers are reaching a minority of the population.

==
Military forces: The military of Palombia is consisting of a small professional army which is primarily focused on defending the country's borders and fight insurgencies. The equipment is somewhat outdated, but the army is well-equipped in terms of supplies and ammunition.
==

Infantry: 25 000 men

Armoured cars: 50 vehicles
Fighters: 15 aeroplanes
Bombers: 5 aeroplanes
Patrol boats: 10 ships
==
Technology: 1930's, purchased from the United States and Venezuela
==
Culture: Conservative traditions, religion is very influential. Labour morale is low on the countryside and somewhat higher in the cities. Many local saints are celebrated. The national drink is beer and the national cuisine is nachos. Marriages are generally arranged, and females can be engaged by their parents from as young an age as five, often with males that are fifteen to twenty years older. Males have considerably more sexual freedoms than females in practice, and brothels are usual in the cities and villages (though prostitutes are shunned and have zero legal protection). Honour killings are rare but do exist. There is a significant Criollo racism against everyone else, a Mestizo racism which is directed at the indigenous and Afro-Palombian minorities, as well as against some immigrant communities (notably Jews and Asians). The Catholic church is conducting missionary activities amongst indigenous peoples, while some protestant sects have been established in the urban areas. There is a personality cult around Salvador Ruiz, and his portrait is hanging in all public offices, while children in schools are learning to swear an oath of allegiance to him.
==
History: Palombia achieved it's independence in 1923, following the 1911-1919 liberation war and the negotiations of 1919-1923. While Luis Reyes served as the new nation's first President, the power was wielded by a few influential rural dynasties, amongst them the Ruiz dynasty. Salvador Ruiz was elected President in 1924 and has since that been the dominant force in Palombian politics, serving four terms as President and controlling two interim Presidents. In 1932, he was made Generalissimo and Father of the nation, retaining the control over the armed forces and the police, and since that he has dominated the country, awarding positions and powers to his cronies. By putting his sons as President and Vice President, he has well ensured that his legacy will survive him. He is opposed by the liberal middle classes in Palombo, who have rallied to the support of the Partido Liberal Nacional.

No one wanting to play?

We need the heads of state, the heads of the military and the heads of at least the two major opposition parties before we could start.

Good, you get the gist of it. :p

Now the only thing is to seriously play :D
