The Washington Roleplay (or just Washington) is a currently-running roleplay on the Portal to the Multiverse forums of NationStates, run by Prolieum. It has its own wikia, edited and run by many of the current players involved. It can be found here.The Washington Roleplay plays out the world of the American political system in the present day, with player characters taking up roles from politicians to businessmen, and necessary Presidents and political figures post-Reagan being replaced by Captain Ersatz versions of themselves (President Shrub sound vaguely familiar?) The roleplay runs through elections, from the Presidential campaign down to even lowly county executives, depending on the players taking part, simulating campaigns and elections alongside congressional work and the business of government. The mammoth series of 2016 campaigns have been completed, and the roleplay has been progressing through the tumultuous first year of the newly-elected Reed Administration.The roleplay went through two earlier versions, and one spin-off after the first attempt fell apart after an overthrow of the government, before coming together in the third, current, and canon version run by Prolieum, which has run for over two years and six thousand pages of roleplay and out-of-character chatter. | |

Alternate Timeline | |
| Washington Roleplay (Roleplay) / int_19b6f396 | comment |
Alternate Timeline: The roleplay starts at the beginning of 2016, and had quite a different political year than in real life-Calvin Reed, rather than Donald Trump, is now the President of the United States. | |

Blood on the Debate Floor: Over the DEFACED bill, Alaskan Senator Nilap went from words to fists on New Mexican Senator Villanueva de Peña, breaking her nose, as well as several of her ribs. She stayed on the Senate floor until the final vote on the bill was called. | |

False Rape Accusation | |
| Washington Roleplay (Roleplay) / int_3763bcf8 | comment |
False Rape Accusation: Levied against Calvin Reed while on his Presidential campaign by an actress hired by cigarette companies opposing his policies-holes in the story ended up making the accusation backfire, helping Reed, with blame falling on the Democrats. | |

Big Brother Is Watching: The revelation that the NSA was being used to spy on Secretary of State Jay Garestaer and other Republicans by the Democratic administration triggered a scandal, and a (failed) impeachment attempt). | |

Politicians Kiss Babies | |
| Washington Roleplay (Roleplay) / int_6406a19c | comment |
Politicians Kiss Babies: Subverted in rather creepy fashion, when Jay Garestaer took a baby at a rally and held it up before the crowd, proclaiming it as the purest form of life before the spread of corruption. | |

Attack of the Political Ad: Fairly common in campaigns, ranging from mild to severe-or, in the case of one advertisement by Senator Nilap accusing his opponent of conspiring to steal Alaskan oil for North Korea-unintentionally hilarious. | |
