User:Castille de Italia
Hello, I'm Castille. I began on NationStates in March 2012, and have been primarly a roleplayer in the International Incidents community. I'm known across NS and its communities as Castille or Castille de Italia (my main nation's name), but in other communities as Draper. I am in the IIWiki Discord and can be reached there or via DMs.
My main nation page on IIwiki is Castillia. Everything on there is considered canon, but is heavily a work in progress. Some of the factbooks onsite are still considered canon, such as the colorful cast of Castillia, but will be imported to IIwiki over time.
I only have one RP going right now, which is closed and read only. I consider it my finest work by far. Titled Deep Throat and modeled off of the Watergate scandal of the 1970s, it is a political thriller that depicts the nuances of Castillian society, culture, and conflict amid a high-stakes constitutional crisis and serves as a commentary on the state of the current political spheres IRL. It is an experiment for me to worldbuild, restructure the political system through a process not normally RPed on the II Board, and allows me to pay homage to 1960s culture, the French and American political systems, and some of my favorite films; Dirty Harry and Risky Business chiefly, and then some of my favorite music; I invoke the Pet Shop Boys, Tangerine Dream, and Gigi D'Agostino (along with a minor Sammy Kershaw reference since it fit the moment).
I have been a longtime member of the region Greater Dienstad, and have dabbled in others, such as the defunct Pardes and Haven. I'm a working white-collar professional IRL and enjoy traveling often internationally, so I don't have a ton of time to devote to NS or IIwiki these days, but nonetheless it's a hobby I'll always have that has transcended girlfriends who thought it was nerdy, my friends whom I've never ever told, or weekends I could have been golfing with the boys or out on the lake. Please look around and enjoy!
