Alternate History: 1948
For this roleplay, you are your own character. Your character has your first name (no last names because that's personal information), age, physical and mental characteristics, skills, etc. In this roleplay, I won't have a character because I will control all the other characters. (I control all the other characters to better control the roleplay, keep it from going off on tangents, regulate the world, and facilitate movement in the roleplay. With this setup you can interact with your environment anytime we're both here, and you can trade information and interact with each other while I'm gone.)
It's 1948 in an alternate reality. History is the same up to just before World War 2. In the buildup to World War 2, the Nazis captured all the scientists who tried to leave the country kept them in forced research caps. Great Britain, the United States, and Russia grossly underestimated the nuclear threat and were unable to make nearly as much progress as they did. The Germans somehow scraped together the resources to develop nuclear weapons first and employed them to great effect in London, Moscow, and Washington DC in 1945. It is now 3 years later. Germany is now consolidating power in Europe and Africa, and Japan is taking over the last remnants of Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Islands. England surrendered shortly after the bombing, Russia is suffering from violent internal strife and is being quickly eaten away from both sides. The United States has fragmented from the demoralization of German scout planes have been seen flying over the Eastern States and Japan is building a fleet in the west. The United States has splintered into regions. I'll get around to drawing a map soon, just go with it until I do. You are all from the same region. I'll get around to deciding which one or letting you vote on it later.
Additional rules:
If you have any historical corrections or ideas you think I should use, PM me.
Your character is yourself. As your first post, introduce your character to me. Don't give your last name or other personal information because that's against the rules.
Don't do research about what you should do. Research should be to inform you about 1946 American technology and culture, not to make technological jumps or try to gain insight into the campaign.
I might have to use private messages if there's something important that other characters shouldn't know or that you should have the opportunity to tell them yourself.
Forgive me if I make mistakes, this is my first time running this kind of thing.
Have fun
This intro is a work in progress, I'll do more on it tomorrow, I have to do homework now. Post here if you're interested

Re: Alternate History: 1948
I guess I'd be interested in this, now that I have more knowledge over this time period. I would suggest that the different regions of America have different government types. Like a fascist and a communist government are battling over control, while a small democratic nation still exists. So, the fascist and communist governments would be trying to expand into Canada and Mexico, while the democractatic state just tries to stay in existence.

Re: Alternate History: 1948
Also, don't forget Italy. They were allied with Germany and Mussolini and Hitler were close allies.
