In Denial About Denial
The Year is 1930
Though the Great War had just come to an end roughly a decade ago, the wounds of that bloody engagement still run deep throughout Europe. The seemingly unending spread of Spanish Influenza had taken more than 75 million lives around the globe, and lingered mercilessly in Europe until its final victim gasped their last breath in 1924.
In the turmoil following the Great War, and at the peak of the influenza, yet another blow was dealt to Europe in the form of a savage potato blight. Similar to the one that struck Ireland in the mid 19th century, this fungus destroyed millions of farms across Europe, causing crop shortages and further chaos.
The final, and most soul shattering event, was the Stock Market Collapse of August 9th, 1927. The DOW Jones Industrial Average, the cornerstone of the international market, fell a brutal 38%. Stock prices around the world became absolutely worthless, and tens of millions suddenly found themselves without a job, and for many, without a future.
Our story turns now to the Weimar Republic, or better known as Germany. Defeated in the Great War, suffering violent civil unrest immediately afterwards, and having scraped past the potato blight with tens of thousands having gone hungry for months on end, the nation has been dealt the most serious damage by the “Great Depression”. The Reichsmark, the national currency, is worth less than the paper it is printed on. Still hamstrung by the oppressive demands put on Germany by the Treaty of Versailles, the Weimar government desperately prints more and more to compensate for the losses.
The nation now teeters on the brink of collapse. Political violence is commonplace, and much of the population has radicalized and split amongst a number of ideological lines. Knowing all too well that waiting for things to blow over is the worst option, the Weimar government votes unanimously to move the elections of 1933 one year ahead of schedule, and to open the floor to more parties.
The days of the Weimar Republic are at an end. This now rests in the hands of those that wish to either lead their nation into a bright and glorious future, or drag it kicking and screaming into further bloodshed.
That choice...is yours to make.

FÜR DIE ZUKUNFT! FOR THE FUTURE!
Today, fellow countryman, it is up to you to decide the fate of Germany!
This roleplay is a unique fusion of previous Facepunch RPs like House of Cards, a political thriller, and On the Backs of Broken Men, an in-depth nation roleplay. Players will create a political faction to vie for control of the German diet, going forward with electioneering, public speaking and securing a support base.
However, should the government become too divided, or the situation in Germany become untenable, players will be able to rise up in open revolt, and choose the future of Germany with force!

Creating your Faction
Sending a Turn
Turns, during peace, will be limited to 10 lines in total, with each line not exceeding 2 sentences. Should things come to violence, a new turn format will be given to those choosing to rise up.
At the beginning and end of each turn, there will be a supplemental to give players news of the outside world, and how this desperate and wounded civilization is taking its steps into a new decade. Perhaps, even, there will be ripple effects from the choices made in Germany…
