Eeeh, I'd rather let the initial game start play out before doing anything in-game like alliances. My edited map is up.

I'm gonna have to steal that image cuz i edited mine before you posted this and crossed my outposts out(well the ones that were an issue

I'll do my best.
They would want to maintain their independence. They wouldn't necessarily turn down help on occasion when they need it, but they also wouldn't allow outsiders to sit at the blast doors. So those checkpoints are a no.
More like a doorway at best, or a crawlspace at worst.

Then how does O get supplies? >>

Because they're risking their necks on the surface, if they're not self-sufficient. It comes with the territory of having your stations being so spread out.

I suppose that can be where they keep all the vehicles..........yeeesssssss
Pat

Vehicles are useful only for sections of the surface, and I'm not allowing them immediately. Railcars on the other hand, they're fair game.

. Remove the tunnel to a neighboring independent station. They wouldn't have allowed it.

. Having any tunnels of your own, or are you going to pass on that?
Roby6Com
. Get that application to me today or tomorrow.Tomorrow we begin the RP. Three NPC factions are going to probably going to be made.

fixed, but how come that tunnel can't stay? I have no intentions of using it nor would i have people stationed there. As explained in the image, USMC-Raiders scouted the tunnels, doesn't mean they're staying..

Name: The Rochdale Foundation
Origin: The Foundation was founded by the board of directors and trustees of the University of Rochdale and its affiliated medical hospital fled into the stations with their students and families. Life was a struggle initially, but the Foundation was slowly unified as the trustees exerted greater and greater authority to the point where they are the central body in charge of all matters of the Foundation.
Station(s): F, I, and L
Ideology: The Foundation is a rather centralized organization, which depends on the Board of Directors and Trustees. The Board is the sole governing body and exerts complete control, forming a sort of meritocratic oligarchy with retired or deceased board members being elected upon by the department that the board member is in charge of. Otherwise, the political culture of the Foundation can be described as Liberal Socialist.
Population: 3,300
Economy: The economy of the Foundation was largely established by the faculty of the economics and finance departments of the University. It relies on allowing a certain amount of private property and enterprise to encourage innovation and some economic mobility. As an intellectual stronghold, the Foundation has been the bastion of science and manufacturing in the stations with its doctors, engineers, and other skilled, educated workers. The economy is able to sustain production of makeshift firearms and air/pneumatic based rifles, which require quite a lot of raw materials to continue to manufacture and maintain. In exchange for these resources, F Station is largely open to all traders and is a safe haven for any STALKERs who may need medical services or supplies in general. F station does not contain any other major infrastructure or goods than serve as a large marketplace. While all the other stations are largely not accessible by outsiders unless during emergencies (such as a friendly STALKER team from another station needing to find immediate shelter or help.) Finally, the Foundation also takes on contracts for ambitious engineering/construction projects from others.
Summary:
Major Services/Exports/Productions:
Medical Services + Medicine
Construction/Engineering
Makeshift Firearms
Major Imports:
Machinery Parts
Scrap Metal
Construction Material
Specialized Equipment
Chemicals
Fuel
Military: The Foundation's military finds its heritage from the University's former campus police force and ROTC program. While the Foundation may not have a special forces with fancy old world weapons and equipment, they do rely on all adults being able to serve as a militia/national guard in times of emergencies as all adults have had to gone through a training program to learn how to handle firearms, melee, and conduct routine operations and tactics.
Despite not having a lot of pre-war weapons, manufacturing and production in the Foundation have developed to the point where the Foundation's military relies on a domestic weapons program to standardize the equipment of the military. (Think along the lines of the Polish Home Army and how they secretly made weapons to continue their resistance.). Weapons include a domestic version of the British Sten submachine gun called the Rattler, PCP air-rifles based on old commercialized air hunting rifles, makeshift grenades, and a makeshift flamethrower that uses a mix of petrol and pressurized air. Finally, all men are also given a knife/bayonet in the event that they have to fight in close quarters.
The Foundation's military is split into three groups: The Guard (the direct descendant of the University of Rochsale's campus police and is largely based in Station F) who serve as a paramilitary force that enforces the law and guards the stations, the Officer Corp who is the active military branch of the Foundation that consists of career officers and cadet NCOs who are going through the Officer Training Program or military training (the Officer Corp is also the "elite" of the military in the sense that they are technically the only active branch of the military who conducts offensive operations such as surface scavenging missions, scouting, and etc.). The Officer Corp's main base is stationed in Station I, and finally the Reserve, who are all able bodied adults in the Foundation who have gone through military training and are on a reserve status, but may be called upon by the Officer Corp to serve in events of emergency.
The Foundation's military operations have largely been composed of security and exploring/pacifying the surface. The Officer Corp sends small expeditions to map out the surface, scavenge certain needed items, and equipment, make small, secured, hidden supply caches that technically only they and a few other allied/friendly STALKERs know of. This is to make the surface a little bit safer and easier to travel through.
In addition, important comms and messages, particularly in hostile territory, is transmitted in a code/cipher that is changed every 3 days. This is an attempt to throw off any eavesdroppers and ambitious bandits from trying to mess with Foundation operations and compromise security.

Seems strange you'd add it but don't intend to use it, and then you'll question why it was removed.
You'd or someone else would have to make it. American cities don't have layers to them on the scale of Moscow or Rome. Also, stations wouldn't allow vulnerabilities to exist. They each all have blast doors which can take some punishment, but a tunnel offers no such protection.

Get back to me when that's complete and we'll probably begin shortly thereafter.

, a reminder to please finalize your sheets. If you're worried about militaries or what your stations can actually produce, expand upon that. Because I'm not going to let people materialize railcars and powerful weapons out of nowhere once we start.

I stitched up the map as best I could so that there was not some big ugly crossed out part in the bottom right corner. You can use it if you want.

Name: The Kuomintang
Origin: Right before the world was turned into cinder, China established a vast and complex network of spies, black ops and subversive organizations, working in close contact with the local crime bosses and ready to strike whenever they received the order from the Mainland. The chief of the operation was Colonel Zheng Xiulan, commanding officer of a small special operations platoon who at the time was spying on the local Marines garrison, at least until they received word of the imminent destruction of the city. She received the intel mere hours before the bombs dropped, and it was clear that she and her associates were expendable. Thinking fast she gathered her platoon, any agent and infiltrator that could make it in time, and gathered as many civilians she could from the local Chinatown, fighting their way inside the metro and trying their best to survive the attack. They established a settlement, they even managed to farm for food and make small manufacturing shops, but they had no more contacts with the Mainland, and judging from the state of the world, they could very well be the last of the Chinese people.
Station(s): M, N, K
Ideology: The Kuomintang is a military oligarchy, with their capital settlement in Station N (Renamed Xin Beijing) , with Colonel Zheng as head of state and supreme commander of the army, followed in importance by the Central Political Committee and the Central Military Committee, who despite being de jure two separate governing bodies, all positions are occupied by the same members who also happen to be military officers. They claim to have annexed the city in the name of the People's Republic of China, or in case, heaven forbid, China no longer exist as a political entity, they claim to be a successor state and be ready to conquer what's left of the world and rebuild their once glorious nation.
Population: 2'300 and growing.
Economy: The Kuomintang has a curious mix of capitalism and collectivist work ethic, with workers organized in "Corporations" that have no clear head figure, aside from a Political Officer that have to ensure the workers loyalty to the State, ability to satisfy government contracts and in case of enemy attack, even function as commanding officers. The Corporations are allowed to have a good degree of competition among them, but the Economical Committee always keep an eye on them, and occasionally step in to change things according to the will of the State. Curiously their currency are regular American coins that had a hole drilled in the middle, supposedly for ease of carrying, and maybe due to nostalgia of the Homeland.
Military: Every adult citizen have to serve in the People's Liberation Army for at least 4 years, deserters are punished with "reeducation" and forced labor. The Army doesn't have particularly advanced weapons, and the tunnels make the use of explosives too dangerous, what with the fear of cave ins. But what they don't have in hardware they have it with highly motivated and loyal soldiers, who are notorious for fighting to the death.
