Surely neutrality would be dependent on what we or others were going to war for, no?

I La Habana Cuba will remain neutral for now, on the other hand I have 35 nations dont know which one to use, but I guess we should only use one nation, actually that is a rule
use only one of your nations, so choose your nation from your nations.

with NS nations?

some kind of crazy semi-RP thing here...

well i'd be allied with all the crazy people in my region for a start (Democatic Communist States) but we generally have pathetic military spending, so i should think aliances with people like Kanabia, Potaria, Arriddia and the like would be necessary


we'd pwn just because
apart from anything else Pure Metal has a pretty big-ass economy so i could at least make weapons and the like pretty fast, and a well-educated population means smart weapons, too :)


and its a shame i can't use puppets cos one of them has some awesome military pwnage

Pure Metal, I would welcome your vote in the Poll, yes I guess this is some kind of crazy semi RP thing here, perhaps we should relax the one nation rule, have fun and vote.

Purpose of the poll is also to see which type of nations you think would win a real World War, since most of us represent our type of ideal real world nation, but you can interpret the poll NS style, have fun post your best nations.

I think the communist and socialist nations would win, since there are so many of them.

War.

Tens, maybe even hundreds of thousands of people camping out, getting filthy, tromping through mud and just enjoying the hell out of the great outdoors. But here's the catch; If they see the kids from the camp across the lake, they have to kill them.

What a waste of a good time. :(

Neutral nations dont win wars, I just provided a space on the poll for neutral nations, if that is what you are refering to, if your neutral vote neutral on the poll.

By not having their cities flattened, their infrastructure devastated and generations of their people decimated?

I think in a complete world war in a world with as many nuclear-capable nations such as NS, even the neutral nations lose.

In a world with such an indeterminate geography, topology and dimensions such as the one of NS, this may not actually be the case.

No, I'm certainly not neutral. But I am unsure what category I would fall under. I'm a capitalistic dictatorship.

How exactly do you destroy a gas giant by nuking it? At best it will either ignite and become a small secondary star, or it will just reform unless you manage to nuke parts of it off into space at escape velocity.

I propose that if neutral nations' votes are the highest, there should be no war!

The other option is for all the neutral nations to band together and launch a war of pacification*: bringing peace to the insane warmongers by the swinging of the sword.

Face it, if NS is going to restage the Great War it would be much easier for all concerned if instead just stayed at home and slaughtered their own young men between the ages of about 17 to 25. If nothing else it does away with all that tedious mucking about in trenches.

This Thread was supposed to be a semi serious Thread.

The Poll part was supposed to determine what type of nations would win a real World War.

How they would win it, which real nations would fight in it.

The NS Nations part who would we support, and how
if we were those nations using our NS Nations, which NS Nations would be our allies what our war plans would be like to win the war.

The Issues would be the real world issues, Oil, Money, Land, Other Resources, the Arab Israel conflict, Iran, Venezuela under Hugo Chavez, communism vs capitalism, dictatorships in general, The USA under President Bush or any President, Russian intensions, The Eu, Cuba.

I guess I did not set up the Thread right, but it has worked out fine anyways.

Anyways thanks for the 28 fellow nations who have voted so far, and the 47 posts so far, much more than I expected.

Just keep having fun with the Thread.

Mariehamn with all due respect to you, JFK did not provide the air cover promised to the Cuban exiles during the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba because he was not sure the plan would work and had second thoughts, if he had maybe things would have turned out diffrent, now we will never know.

Most of The modern day nations and leaders of the world really dont care what happens in Cuba.

This silly post for others, I dont believe in time travel, where you can change things by your actions.

So he cared, just not enough.
The present populist leaders in Latin America have looked at Cuba as insperation.
There is a poster here debunking sterotypes of Cuba.
I'm discussing Cuba with you.

There are people that care about Cuba. The only thing is, Cuba has become so isolated lately, there are not many economic effects that would result from Cuba going under to encourage governments to do anything with Cuba. There are US military bases in Cuba holding prisoners. The US has interests in Cuba, and thus cares about it.

I'm not sure what you mean by your statement:
And who cares about Cuba anyways, except those crazy Cubans like myself, no one cares about Cuba.
Now that I feel like I've debunked the whole "no one cares about Cuba" myth, we should save this for another thread, or dismiss it.

I tried rping in there. I can't bear it. Nobody has the slightest clue how military(especially naval) engagements are operated. People are clueless about electronic countermeasures and they have no respect for high tech r&d and nanotechnology.
