His Highness Demands
What is it?
His Highness Demands is an ongoing (for a while) challenge, that will follow the communist monarchy, (the only one in the world), Semyonovia, through 2 different rulers, 5 decades, 3 wars, and 1 rebellion. Your goal will simply be to become the remembered Semyonovian car brand. Not a Semyonovia-based manufacturer, but one (whether German, American, British, or anything else) that is the favorite of the Semyonovian people.
Semyonovia
Where is it? (mostly lore)
On the map:
Semyonovia, looks like this:
- Persktokt is the capital, with a population of (in 1950) 238,921 people.
- Tekntoz is the second-largest city in Semyonovia, with a population of 135,734 people.
- Seydotzt is the third-largest city, with a population of 73,166 people.
There are many smaller towns and villages throughout the country.
Language:
For precision, if there are needed word decals on a car, i.e. a Semyonovian police car, flip the letters vertically. Thatâs it. No super complex language rules.
Semyonovian Monetary System:
Ok. The Automation dollar-to-Semyonovian Daktoz is simple:
- Divide the Automation price of the car by 7.
- Then, (since Semyonovia is full of little, cobblestone roads), apply a âwheelbase-taxâ. Add your carâs wheelbase length, (in inches) to your final price. So watch how long your car is!
The Ruler(1):
Gevketovt II, born on November 4th, 1919, grew up as rightful heir to the Semyonovian throne. At the early age of 8, he showed a love for cars. Specifically the American racers and later the pre-WWII European sportscars. But sadly, Gevketovt I disliked automobiles in every way. So much so, that he banned them from Semyonovia. Thankfully for this challenge, Gevketovt I died on September 28th, 1949, which meant that Gevketovt II could finally un-ban cars. Which he did.
The Challenge Itself
FinallyâŚ
His Highness Demands Round #1:
The yearâs 1950.
Cars are here.
King Gevketovt II has declared that, along with cars getting un-banned, he is also looking for a partnership with a manufacturer, to try and get a car in every Semyonovian driveway. Rumor has it that the desired car is a rugged, dependable station wagonâŚ
His Highness Demands Round #1 Rules:
