Aren't basically all our stories character stories?

I believe this would be for short stories of average citizens rather than powerful people within the nations.

Fair enough, plenty of our stories are about powerful people.

I don't understand the splitting. We all already character RP and people might get confused and start shitty tnp inspired diplomatic alliance rps /me sends 100k soldiers bruh.

Why do we need a distinction.

Perhaps not calling it that would help? Something more like "Portraits of your Nation" or some such. I don't strictly think we need that subdivision in particular at this juncture but perhaps in the future. I do favor the "Internal" vs "International" subforum idea as well as a subsection in Pre-Modern Fiction for "Historical Records/Debates". A "National Image" subsection (or really any other name for anything in quotes) for creating streams of information such as national animals and misc things related to our nations feel that don't necessarily enter into actual writing, perhaps in the planning room?

I don't see the need for "Character RPs" as a separate category. Powerful or average characters, it's all already character driven RP at some level.

A devoted section for history and facts however could be useful. That said I'd be wary of generating too many new subsections, or nesting them too deep. I think at most 2 levels should be the limit.

Also putting a distinction between major types of RP and average joe RP might be seen as trivializing average joe RP.

That is a good point.

Was on the fence, but am swayed by this point.

I wholly agree with this.
Today's date is: Today is Jocidi, 5 Cielidor AR 5 - Day 1770 of the Glorious Revolution.

Many trials make manifest
The stranger's fate, the curses' bane.
Many touchstones try the stranger
Many fall, but one remains.
