Conscience of a Nation (shortened to Coa N) is a British election game roleplay on AlternateHistory.com, created and run by Major Crimson. The game began in 1837 as a Parliamentary game but a series of dramatic events meant that, by 1840, it has become a Civil War simulator.
- Aristocrats Are Evil: Played With, many of the characters on both sides of the Civil War are Aristocrats of varying moral standards.
- Inspirational Martyr: The Birmingham Massacre transformed the Chartists from reformists and petitioners into revolutionaries after British soldiers shot and killed 400 of their number.
- President Evil: More specifically "Prime Minister Evil" as hardline Tory PM the Duke of Beaufort comes in to crush the Revolution with an iron fist.
- The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized: Though most risisings were at least a little civilised, Liverpudlian Chartists strung up any British officers they could find and threw their bodies into the Mersey.
- The Revolution Will Not Be Vilified: The Chartists, at their inception, have been surprisingly reasonable and calm. Though radicals like "Halfhand" Pound are calling for reprisals, most revolutionaries have been enlightened enough to work for a democratic government, make steps towards women's emancipation and even except the very Tory Prime Minister who started the war into their ranks.
