Hello! I see you're interested in Taijitu role play! Congratulations!
Here are a few basics to get you started!
-Taijitu RP exists in its own world. Many countries may be based off of countries from our own world, but there's no overt connection. Tajitu has its own self-contained history. That being said, timelines generally match up for the sake of simplicity. The year 1975 in Taijitu, for example, will be treated like the year 1975 in our world in terms of setting, culture, technology, etc...
-Don't be daunted by national history. Long time RPers here have a bit of history with each other. We know the history of our nations in relation to each other's but don't let that detour you! Your own nation's history is what you make of it. If you think you have a good idea about incorporating someone else's nation into your own history just PM them! Be polite and explain the situation. If it's something they're open to doing you two can work out the specifics. If you have any other questions just ask in the RP Planning forum and we'll help you out
-There's one "timeline" here. The Great War section takes place in the past, around the turn of the century. Anything can go there so long as it respects period technology and ultimately leads to the proper conclusion of the Great War, with the Coalition emerging victorious.
-"Modern" roleplay takes place in a time period that's more properly understood to be the early 1980s. We start there and go forward. The latest one can set anything is 2020. So feel free to Tarinto your RP idea if you so choose!
Thank you,
