Overview of the RP
This RP will be based around the fictional country of The Democratic Peoples Republic of Siam, where lately tensions have been rising against the government by the people of the country. Nothing major has begun yet, but there have been a noticeable increase in protests that have been so far peaceful, trying to get the government to change a lot of things people have problems with. Little did anybody know quite how Siam would respond.....
You will play people who are amongst these protests, specifically at one location that can be made up later so our characters can either know each other already and be in the same area, or they get to know each other easier in the RP because they are near each other. That doesn't technically mean they are protesting for the same reasons as each other, it is just a gathering of protesters that want changes for various different reasons, and all in all, a major overhaul of the government. The protests have gone on for a few days already with no problems, but that will quickly change.
Culture
Sports: Hockey is their most popular and successful sport.
Government:
Premier: Devin Oleynik
Secret Police: Talshiar Yar
Military: The Military of Siam, and its various different divisions
Laws:
Their views on homosexuality aren't completely known. At the moment they don't have equal rights to heterosexuals, but nobody knows for a fact if they would be able to pass marriage equality or if they would just make things worse if they could. Like, executing them on the street, or imprisoning anyone known to be a homosexual.....which isn't many people likely because it is unlikely they are openly talking about if they are or aren't.
Geography:
Population: 85 million
Military Size: 6 million
Military Power: The military is quite powerful, being top of the line for their region. They have guns, chemical weaponry, aircraft, tanks, and so on.
Talshiar Yar Size: 150,000
Siam Police Size: 750,000
Major Industry: Logging and oil industry are the big ones.
Land: Varies. There are extremely mountainous sections of the country that people even live on, and then there are the more low-land areas. The country is known for having a lot of rivers and being a rather green, forested country, though that is decreasing due to the logging industry taking off in the last few years. They get a fair amount of rain annually, and can sometimes go for a month or two straight with rain every single day. That is in the late fall, throughout winter, and sometimes early spring weather. The summers can be fairly warm and humid at times, though not ridiculously so. Most of spring and most of fall is typically somewhere in between too warm and too cold, of course depending the individual person.
