IIRC the one I played ca. 2006 was called Globalia. It was super nerdy shit where you had to structure your posts like official government statements, very “model UN” kind of thing.
Shoutout to my based younger self getting to play Cuba and immediately allying with Al-Qaeda and trying to get nukes (they kicked me out for this)
I did a lot of worldbuilding RP sessions in group chats, where depending on the time period (always 2020s-2100s), I’d play as South Africa having transitioned to FALGSC and immediately renuclearizing, starting another Cuban Missile Crisis and blowing up Tel Aviv with orbital gauss artillery.
Oh and South Africa became a superpower at a scale resembling the Stalin’s first Five Year Plan, with the equivalent of an Ibrahim Traore/Muammar Gaddafi/Julius Malema taking power in 2027.
This was also at the time where I had just gotten into politics after moving back to South Africa in 2014 and had only begun my ascension to the “Stalin did nothing wrong, Mao was based; Death to ameriKKKa, Death to piSSreal” phase, lol
That could’ve been my Cuban-led axis of evil if only the mods weren’t so square
