[Libertine Worlds]

I would like to join the ESUS.

INFO: The Confederacy of Libertine Worlds(CLW) are a small group of three inhabitable planets(Libertina, Orasia, Orlania) and one inhabitable moon(Hope) spanning two solar systems in the farthest reaches of the galaxy.

HISTORY: The history of the CLW began nearly 700 years ago when a small fleet of nine starships, including two wholly dedicated to carrying terraforming equipment, began a journey away from a large core world to a little known planet to escape political and religious persecution. The 40,000 passengers, most in cryogenic preservation, traveled for seventy years to the planet. Upon arrival the sun in the system was named Liberty and the planets was named Libertina in honor of the ideals it and their journey represented.

Libertina was a world ripe for colonization, as it mirrored a young Earth. The planet had rudimentary microscopic life in its oceans, but the rest of the planet was wholly devoid of any life. Terraforming would be as simple as converting the atmosphere into oxygen and populating the planet with plant and animal specimens brought along.

The terraforming process lasted 234 years, during which time the small population lived in "bubble cities" attached to the two rather large terraforming stations on the planet's surface. Once completed, though, a land grab ensued. Nearly half of the population left the old cities to live in the wilderness and set up farms.

But as fate would have it, two years later the small starfleet built on the planet began exploring the nearby Orip system in search of readily available raw materials, but instead came upon a thriving alien civilization on the planet of Orasia. The Orasians were a omnivorous furry humanoid race with claws, compound eyes, and a culture based upon personal freedom. The two civilizations signed a peace treaty, and a month later a mutual defense pact and trade agreements.

In only fourty years time the treaties signed by Libertina and Orasia evolved into a de facto confederacy, and were made official. The Confederacy of Libertine Worlds was born. Since that time both the planet Orlania in the Orip system and the moon Hope of a large gas giant in the Liberty system have also been terraformed and colonized with great success.

OTHER: The CLW seeks free trade with all worlds in the galaxy, and wishes to join the ESUS for that purpose, and to share in new exciting technology.

Someone should come shortly to test you. Hang in there

[The Mindset]

Welcome to the ESUS! In order to gain admittance you must complete three tests which we will use to judge your roleplaying ability. Note that these tests do not have to be considered part of your nation's canon, and most nations tend not to include them in their history. You may, however, include them if you so desire.

You can take as long as you want and there's no set length of post. Now. onto the first test:

Test #1: A invariably deadly, quick-killing, highly infectious disease has taken hold of your nation's capital. In response, your government has ordered the lockdown of the city, and designated the entire area quarantined - no-one gets in, no-one gets out. Anyone who attempts to escape is shot on sight. Write from the viewpoint of a citizen who has recently lost his/her family to the disease, and how they deal with the situation.

You may decide whether your character lives or dies, however, no cure to the disease may be found.
