Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A Modern World is a vast NationStates Role Play 'world' - a scenario where RPers group together to create an alternate earth filled with their own countries.A Modern World incorporates around thirty different countries. It uses the same roleplay techniques as its parent game, but adheres to using real world geography, climate, natural resources, and population as opposed to NationStates more ambiguous set up. Founded by Drapol in 2003/2004, the group has included three different incarnations starting on Jolt and surviving on to the new forums.The main site can be found here, which is membership-only. It can also be found on NationStates here. |

Disproportionate Retribution: Beddgelert ostensibly went to war with Tsalland because the latter was dumping Bibles across the borders of the former. |

Nuclear Weapons Taboo: Averted, though no nuclear weapon has been used against a city so far, Walmington and Nibelunc went on to Nuke 'em with tactical weapons in Dra-Pol and Areopagitican. |
