Nation States is largely considered to be of the Free-Form type of role-play.
Free-form role-playing is a reference to any online or real-world games that have no predetermined actions, no established storyline, and are completely driven by players. People will freely type out or say their actions.
What exactly is Role-Playing?
Think of roleplaying like improvisation - it may be pretending to be something or someone you aren't normally, or a version of yourself. Many people think that roleplaying is limited to scary dungeons and big fire breathing dragons, or even the mother/father/son/daughter roleplaying in a psychiatrist’s offices, but true roleplaying can incorporate anything from futuristic science fiction robots to blonde bimbos with big guns (and I do mean machine guns). Roleplaying is about experiencing new people, places, thoughts, and ways of thinking that you may not normally encounter.
How do I start?
First, think of a situation that you would find either fun or challenging, preferably both, and put yourself into that situation. How would you react? This can also apply to how your nation reacts, it's after all just a bigger character in the long run.
What is a character?
Quite simply, if you are an actor in a movie, your character is the fictional persona you take on to portray a role. Much in the same way, a roleplaying character is the "life" you take on. Your character will interact with other characters in storylines or plots to form a game. Your character should have a personality and goals, much like any normal human being. Though your goal may be to surpass the common garden slug in doing nothing but eatting and sleeping, it is still a goal.
What is a storyline?
A storyline, as it will be further elaborated on, is a storyboard, or simplified script of a roleplaying game or session. This helps move action along a particular path to reach a goal. This goal may either be hidden-and revealed through a series of trial and error, or it may be an obvious goal set forth from the beginning of the game. Meanwhile, the characters will interact in this story, grow and develop as meaningful inhabitants of the lands they originate from, and learn valuable life lessons. More or less, you live a life through the conflicts around your character. A storyline is not an intrigal part for some types of roleplaying, but is is always highly recommended to have a goal, whether it be unstated or stated.
