Roleplay Rules of Almaren
Minister's Note
It is the duty of the Roleplay Minister to facilitate quality roleplay in the region. This duty requires the Roleplay Minister to moderate roleplay activity, ensure all roleplayers are treated equitably by their peers, and uphold a standard of quality for the region's roleplay.
Consistent with this responsibility, I am exercising my authority as Roleplay Minister to create a code of rules to govern roleplay in Almaren, by which punishment shall be meted out for behavior inconsistent with Almaren's expectations for its roleplay community.
Any violation of these rules is liable to punishment at the discretion of the Roleplay Minister, up to and including a complete ban from Almaren roleplay. The Minister is not required to hear appeals for such punishment to be lifted.
As Roleplay Minister, I reserve the right to amend these rules at my discretion.

General Roleplay Rules
1. These General Roleplay Rules shall apply to all Almaren roleplayers in all roleplays in all roleplay forums.
2. No flagrant attacks against any Almaren's person or identity shall be tolerated.
3. No roleplay that violates the limitations imposed by its setting (otherwise known as godmodding) shall be tolerated.
4. No roleplay that violates the consent of other roleplayers or forces them into unwanted roleplaying (otherwise known as powergaming) shall be tolerated.
5. No roleplayer aside from the Roleplay Minister acting in their official capacity may post an in-character (IC) thread without the prior permission of the thread's creator.
6. No in-character (IC) roleplay thread may go without a corresponding out-of-character (OOC) discussion thread.
7. No threads unrelated to roleplay or unrelated to the stated subject of a roleplay subforum shall be allowed.
Nation Roleplay Rules
1. These Nation Roleplay Rules shall apply to all roleplay activity in the Nation RP forum and its subforums.
2. No one except the citizens of Almaren who are currently mapped on the National Roleplay Map shall be allowed to participate in nation roleplay.

4. No in-character (IC) roleplay, unless specially designated, shall be allowed in a non-modern tech (MT) setting.
For the purposes of these rules, modern tech (MT) is defined as a setting in which the level of technology in roleplay is comparable (+/- 5 years of development) with the technology of present-day Earth and a setting where the laws of nature as we understand them are obeyed (i.e., no magic). This rule does not preclude technically-feasible projects that were not completed in real life.
5. No in-character (IC) references to real life persons, organizations, brands, products, or events shall be allowed.
This rule does not preclude any of Almaren's analogues to real events, persons, or products.
6. No threads unrelated to the out-of-character (OOC) discussion of national information, including the storing and posting of national factbooks, shall be allowed in the Factbook subforum.
7. The only roleplayers allowed to post to national factbook threads within the Factbook subforum shall be the thread's creator and the Roleplay Minister.
Map & Claims Rules
1. These rules shall apply to the Nation Roleplay Map and roleplayers' map claims within nation roleplay.
2. Names for continents and oceans (i.e. Midlantic Ocean, Adoris) can be replaced if the replacement name has the approval of a majority of nations which inhabit that continent or border that ocean.
3. No claim may overlap an existing claim.
4. No claim may exceed 60,000 pixels on an equal area projection.
5. Claims belonging to nations who have been inactive in the roleplay subforum for 30 days shall be removed.
6. Nations may only use the official roleplay statistics from their claim for nation roleplay.
7. No claim may exceed a population of 1.4 billion.
Free Roleplay Rules
1. These Free Roleplay rules shall apply to all roleplay activity in the Free Roleplay forum.
