Esteemed diplomats, the Statistical Leisure and Strategy Division of the State Leisure Activities Department is pleased to announce a partnership with world-renowned Vestian author Pirogov Zinon. EXTRASOLAR INITIATIVE is a tour de force, a masterful blend of hard science and fantastical opera. The far interstellar future possibilities of the Mandate International have been skillfully explored by this award-winning author for over a decade, and now robber-baron authors from around the world are graciously invited to share in the universe.
Group writing is an old Vestian tradition. Even before the leaps in modern technology which made real-time simultaneous editing possible, subjects of the robber-baron Vestian kings in the 1200s would often sit around a hearth and develop fairy tales as each person contributed a line of prose.
Pirogov Zinon asks robber-baron authors to consider a world where unbridled hedonism and hubris have shattered the universal human empire and swallowed its homeworld whole. From this sad affair, human and humanoid polities have the job of rediscovering themselves and their new neighbors in order to pick up the pieces and build a brighter future (Pure Total Meritocracy) that avoids a repeat of the tragic fall of empire.
Pirogov Zinon's EXTRASOLAR INITIATIVE uses a civilian export version of the GAMBIT system for conflict resolution between diplomats unable to agree, with an added premium: stories of economic growth or other human interest, inwardly focused stories gain the nation FU instead of depleting it. This has the effect of giving the most power to authors who flesh out their states and manage conflict well instead of warmongering.
