Clangerland seeks enemies!

OOC - Yes, you read correctly, oh reasonable nation owners.
Quite a while back, I frequented the forums, and got on with everybody. But things only came alive when I found myself an enemy, a nemesis, even.
However, upon my return after a reasonable hiatus, the nations and organisations who irrationally disliked me are long gone.
As great as it is being everyones friend, at some point you can only progress by having some animosity.
And so I call on you. Yes, you.
There must be someone out there who, for some reason, would dislike a nation of clangers (http://www.clangers.co.uk). If so, please telegram me, and I can, at some point in the near future, call upon you to wreak havoc within my nation.
Thank you for your time.

Stay in General long enough and surf the forums and you'll get one, but wait until you get an arch enemy, then it get interesting! :P :evil:

It would probably be better for any RP if we got along a bit. I remember many an utterly irredeemable conflict in which the participants were taking hatred to real life levels, instead of leaving it between characters, where it belongs. Suffice to say, it wasn't pretty.
Anyway, it's much quicker asking for applications than by the long drawn out process of doing controversial things (or, if we are on the General Forum, sneezing would probably suffice).

Meh to you too.

Anyway, I suppose any lucky nemisis would have to be near-future tech. I would prefer RPing with someone who doesn't simply want to blast Clangerland off the face of the Earth because really that wouldn't be much of a challenge for you.
Anyone out there into intrigue? Paying off politicians to break away and start a civil war? Releasing bioweapons which devastete our food sources? Above all it would be nice if we could thrashout a reason.
I know there are probably better ways to develop animosity, but I that really isn't in character for Clangers

Come on people, there must be someone out there who wants to see my nation gone.
I remember the good old days, when all you had to do was mention that your nation had many of non-humans, then hoardes of nations were lining up to disrupt, annoy and, eventually, annihilate you.
Before I continue, I'd best say that I want a nation to help destabilise Clangerland. As much as you want too, you shouldn't be prepared to invade just yet.

If it helps, I have developed a handy list of reasons why someone may despise my nation that you may wish to use -

Are you a rampant humanist? This is the perfect way to dispupt the actions of two entire races, eventually even wiping them from the face of the Earth.
Clangerland has a fairly Socialist economy, if that kind of thing really annoys you.
Want a mass of resouces, pretty much undefended? Want a quick easy fight to make yourself more popular in your nation? Clangerland is a pretty soft target.
How about ancient history - the Clangers just arrived, and settled on the first place they found. Was it your land? Do you want it back?
Maybe it's a religious thing. Do you have a hatred of apathetic agnostics?
Maybe you have a grudge from a while back. Are you a collectivist, one of those who formerly wished to see me dead?
(Bit of a long shot here) Cast your minds way back to the invasion of Knootoss (if they go that far back). Did you suffer at all at the hands of Clanger forces?
Clangers come from a rock somewhere in space. Is there a terrible secret there? One which you would do anything to stop us discovering, before we decide to return?
Finally, Clangers are developing a form of telepathy, like a hive mind. Is this a threat to you in any way?

That's about all I can think up right now. Surely there must be someone out there who can help.

All I want to do is get a story (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=152338) going. Is that too much to ask?
Mybe I should have posted in II. It looks like a forum with more than it's fair share of random warmongers.

IF you're desperate, I'll have a pop at you. Despite my diplomatic realtions with your fine selves.

Here are some possilbe qualifications.

# Are you a rampant humanist? This is the perfect way to dispupt the actions of two entire races, eventually even wiping them from the face of the Earth.
You're pink, fluffy and rotund, in fact positively Rubensesque. Whereas athletic tanned humans are great.
# Clangerland has a fairly Socialist economy, if that kind of thing really annoys you.
As a some-time Corporate Police State, yes this would annoy us
# Want a mass of resouces, pretty much undefended? Want a quick easy fight to make yourself more popular in your nation? Clangerland is a pretty soft target.
Meh. War is fun, just dont get a 50-nation alliance on my ass
# How about ancient history - the Clangers just arrived, and settled on the first place they found. Was it your land? Do you want it back?
I think you said you settled in a brazil-like area. As i like to RP in an ecuador-peru style area, you might be right on my border
# Maybe it's a religious thing. Do you have a hatred of apathetic agnostics?
Our view: Pick God or Darwin, don't be lazy
# Finally, Clangers are developing a form of telepathy, like a hive mind. Is this a threat to you in any way?
It may affect an ongoing (and secret) psyker programme, who knows?
