If this post is considered to be spam or idiotic by any of you then I apologise in advance, but well, this is a role-playing forum and I am promoting a role-playing game.
A little background is necessary to properly explain. Many years ago a man by the name of Jonathan Mayer (aka RepRev) started a fan website for the computer game Republic: The Revolution. Over the years that the site has been active several (4 to be exact) iterations of a game called the RepRev RP operated. The premise of the game was to simulate, on a basic level the politics, crime and intrigue of a newly independant and democratic Eastern European state. The game was moderately successful over the first 3 iterations but fell down due to the fact that the rules introduced were far too complex. The fourth was a step away from this making the game accessable and fun to play. Indeed at its height the game had over 50 fully active members (probably doesn't sound too impressive but it was) spread over various factions of varying ideologies. This iteration failed because the meat of the game, the political element took too long to start up and people began to grow tired of waiting.
This 5th game, independantly hosted on a free board by one of the game's players, is an improvement on all those that have come before it, the rules have been refined and tweaked and we are hoping that with significant membership the game can really get off the ground. Therefore I ask that any of you who consider yourselves apt and sensible role-players to take a look at and consider joining the 5th RepRev Roleplay game here (http://s2.invisionfree.com/reprevrp)

WAIT! I live in Estonia. It was under the rule of The soviet union and was freed lately. But where exactly does it take place. And why are the names Russian.

It takes place in a completely fictional country called Novistrana. The names are similar but not identical to Russian ones.
