Flag of the Volksreich (Roll II Rule)
Flag of the Volksreich (Roll II Rule) by @Thorvald (El Thorvaldo)

The Volksreich der Frau (lit. "People's Empire of Woman") was Marauder-M's country in Roll II Rule, a syncretic mashup of Holy Roman electorate, democratic socialism, and militant feminism, with a dash of Romanian Vampire Masquerade in a nod to Ailedhoo's fantasy-France. Encompassing most of the territory of the HRE, at game's start it was the strongest player state in terms of both latent power and standing army, inspiring a running gag in chat sessions around the "Volksroll". This was counterbalanced, however, by a bureaucracy so sprawling that the country had three dedicated capitals (Berlin, Munich, and Cologne, representing the three main ideological pillars).

Ironically, Marauder never rolled out in full before retiring from the game: Germany dispatched an expedition to support Namibia in the Third American Civil War, but subsequent NPC intervention in the Mediterranean crisis was thwarted by the Kaiserreich roster of parties suffering parliamentary deadlock when a scandal erupted over the Silvanians courting the increasingly unstable Majterre for covert political support; when the "Heretics' Crusade" began its invasion of France, the Magical Rights Party attempted to spark a constitutional crisis to prevent the Volksreich from mobilizing.

Uploaded to the defunct IOT Wiki in 2020 but never used in an article, this is a remake of Marauder's original raster, combining a modified naval jack and Bundesadler with the logo of the KPD by FDRMRZUSA, published under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license.
