The Island's Revolution

The year is 1800. The French Revolution happened only a few years ago. On the island of Castereos, the monarch was the corrupt and greedy King Evariste III. He didn't think a revolution would happen on Castereos, but he was wrong.


The leader of the revolution was Will Aurelio, a wealthy crony and best friend of the king since childhood. The betrayal obviously came as a big shock to Evariste; to him, Will just seemed like any other of his cronies. But like his idea that the revolution wouldn't happen, he was wrong. Will was the founder of an underground republican group called the Roses, in reference to the Roses they wore on their shirts during meetings. After many months of planning, the plan for the revolution was complete and it was decided that Will would be the one who started.


Eventually, the day came when the revolution was planned by the Roses to occur. That day, Will walked into the king's palace and fatally shot him with a rifle. He proclaimed himself the new king, and much to his confusion, the former king's cronies seemed oddly content with this. After about a month of killing all of the known government employees, the revolution was complete and no one affiliated with the government was left alive. Will demoted himself to Prime Minister and made the members of the Roses his Parliament. Now that the revolution was over, they had a lot of work to do if they wanted to make Castereos the country they wanted it to be.


This is where the role-playing starts. If you sign up, you become a member of the Roses. You are able to do things you'd be able to do in most modern-day republics: pass bills and laws, form political parties, create ideologies and spread your message, etc. However, since this is only the start of the republic, you can do a lot more. You're able to define where the electoral divisions are (provinces, states, wards, districts, whatever you want to call them), election procedures, how many seats there will be in Parliament, and a lot of other things. Like I said, you have a lot of work to do.
