Nuclear weapons never augured well for the continued maintenance of society.

After Ford's second term in 1976, his mental health began to deteriorate, leading to the bombardment of Cuba in 1977, retaliating for Cuba's support in the Angolan Civil War. This, paired with Cuba's rapid ascension into the Warsaw Pact, led to the outbreak of World War Three.

With Stanislav Petrov declaring that the early-launch warning satellites were correct, this is the final, fatal deviation from our own universe. After six years of bloody fighting, the world was plunged into nuclear war in six hours.

Now, 30% of the population and 90% of the existing economy lies evaporated. It will be up to each nation to reclaim what they see fit, and to rebuild the global society.

Welcome to The Ashes!
A nation-roleplay server meant to be a more casual, laid-back reception, with common-sense and fair-play rules still maintaining the server's integrity.
RP mechanics are practically absent, so the server relies on the skill of the players (or an optional dice roll) to determine things. This means you won't have to read an Exodus worth of rules and regulations to play on our server; useful, huh?
The player is able to worldbuild their nation as they see fit, with each nation getting their own channel to store things, such as population and military statistics, various domestic actions, and whatever else you please!

We are also experimenting with allowing different species, so long as they're humanoid. A fantasy-esque aspect, if you will.

So, if you would like a more relaxed experience as to what other servers offer, come right in! Our premise will change after every reset, leading to a new, fresher experience every time!
