Welcome to the State of Belmont!
We are a strict-RP community with application-based agencies. We have many openings, as well as private business opportunities. Our game is stable and receives frequent updates.
Additional information
Community
Our community is on multiple social networks, such as Discord and Twitter. You can find links to our social pages on the group/game page (forum rules limit us on what we can link to here).
For Discord, please ensure that your account meets the age requirements in your country. We take great care in protecting our playerbase and will remove any accounts that fail to abide by them.
Government and businesses
Unlike some roleplay communities such as Firestone and Mayflower, we do not host a player-run government. Instead, 2 Commissioners own and lead the community.
There are various Institutions you can join - Sheriff’s Service, State Police, Fire Service, Medical Corps, etc. These usually require experience in their respective fields, as well as applications and training where necessary.
There are also privately owned businesses, which are registered with the Bureau of Commerce. Common company types include security firms and food services. These are run by Citizens and the way to join one varies from company to company.
Rules
The full and most up-to-date RP rules can be found on our socials.
