World Conflict 26: The Signups

I have made several series, but this is set to be my largest ever, hopefully lasting till March!

Signups Open until January 7, 2026

Players will form empires out of multiple countries, and they can fight, and conquer each others' territory! Here is how it will work

You sign up by commenting on this blog. You will name your empire, and every country in it. You can have any number of countries you want, but

1. The empire must be contiguous (except for islands, I will decide if they are close enough to count)

2. The empire must have a population of no more than 300 million people. The United States will actually be split into states, and if you select China or India, you cannot select any other countries.

You will also select your capital city and core country (the country the empire is based around).

Empires may span continental borders, as long as the empire remains contiguous

First come, first served

Anyways, here is a basic rundown of what happens

The Wheel Returns

70% chance of spinning War

A war will happen between two empires. The loser will lose one of their countries (selected randomly, must be bordering the other empire)

10% chance of spinning Pact

Two random empires will form a non aggression pact. During wars, the other country cannot influence the GDP and population of the side.

10% chance of spinning Alliance

Two random empires will form an alliance. During wars, the population and GDP is influenced by the other country.

10% chance of spinning Breakup

Breaks up a random alliance or pact

After each episode, every country that fights has a 20% penalty per Battle fought in. The wheel is spun 7 times per episode. A question will be asked and you must answer it in your private group to remove all penalties.
