BTW I support TNP. The only I brough them is for my homeland's defense. Too many nations are bringing nukes here, so if hell breaks loose I'm ready. My nukes will remain hidden in the forests and won't be moved until the war is over.

We realize this, but will not stand for a nuclear war braking out.

Remember, launch nukes, lose an ally.

OOC: Im using my nukes to get ride of the communist. And i am want to fire them but first i need to see what the communist will do now. Since i have there Headquarters outside of Corpus Christi i decided to target all around it and inside of Corpus Christi. And Kisnesia Why leave the war if the nukes could get the communist out of Texas, then all we would have left is the CBGP, DGP, GLP and RU

Because this war is not to the point that nukes are necessary. Plus, when people start lobbing around nukes, it attracts the attention of larger and larger nations until it no longer matters what happens in Reformed Texas, as everyone else will just start nuking each others homelands.

It also presents the opportunity for major Godmod wars.

If TNP is hit by nukes first, then it was done by a foriegn nation, not by one of the national factions. At that point , Kisnesia will withdraw all troops from Reformed Texas, and launch an invasion of the offender's homeland.

KEEP THE NUKES AT BAY!

<ENCODED TRANSMISSION TO RT>
We think we can nab the northern quarter or so of Region 5 before Phyrric's troops can get there. Should we proceed, or wait? 100,000 troops are at the ready, plus whatever you have available in Region 4.
<END TRANSMISSION>

BLN has successfully occupied Tucumcari, New Mexico with little resistance, and has set up base for BLN's troops and any other allied troops that need a place to go.

(Sory about my mishap with the carriers Edolia, I misread the article and have been gone at my dad's house.) Knowing this I have sent over 120 SU-37 aircraft, yes they're out, maybe you were thinking of the SU-39.

<<OOC: Yes, you're right about that. Sorry.>>

I have also sent three additional Navy fleets to begin bombarding the coast and inner areas of area 11 with cruise missles and armor bombs. Later on today and tonight an additional 200,000 troups will be sent to area 11, bringing the total to 400,000 troups in area 11, the push forward will commence once all troups are in the area. Artilery is also being moved in, tanks, armored vehicles, hummers, and gun vehicles. (around 15k of each.)

OOC: Edolia, how are you not godmodding when you fire 800 missiles into the open ocean, tehn state you have totaled my fleets, yet at the same time haven't the slighest clue wher my fleets are?[/quote]

<<OOC: I didn't say I totalled your fleets. That would be godmoding. I said that I expected that they would destroy your fleets. But to get to your question... You say that you are playing 2003 tech. The fact is, we are currently many years away from building stealth ships of any decent size (besides tiny little missile boats). Big things like carriers, cruisers, battleships, destroyers, frigates, etc are extremely easy to spot and hit. The only reason that the US fleet in the Persian Gulf wasn't destroyed by Iraqi forces is that they don't have the long-range missiles of the accuracy necessary to hit them. An advanced nation (Edolia with over 900 million population and a frightening economy would certainly qualify) would definetely have these missiles. It's really quite impossible to hide a fleet.>>

With the report of more Jenniverian forces being sent into the Gulf, the Edolian commander laughed. "Let's see them get through Phyrric's blockade. Commence full assault of the beach-heads. We shall drive them before us."

Forces in Mexico, totaling 170,000 soldiers, over 2,200 tanks and 1,000 helicopters and 1,800 SAM batteries are being repositioned in Zone 8. A massive assault against Zone 9 is being orchestrated by these troops along with 50,000 Teegerian troops and 30,000 extra Edolian troops and 1,000 tanks. New Edolian forces have arrived in the North of Zone 8 and are assisting. Thus, the total forces attacking Zone 9 are as follows:

530,000 Edolian soldiers <<OOC: Remember how elite Edolian troops are>>
50,000 Teegerian troops
Communist forces (probably around 20,000)
6,200 LeClerc tanks
Communist force tanks (probably just a few outdated ones)
400 F-22s
400 F/A-18s

The pressure is being increased against Jenniverian beach-forces. Eight C-130 transport planes take off, each carrying one MOAB bomb. They are ordered to drop them on high concentrations of enemy troops or tanks.

<<OOC: I can't make a new map now. I'm just taking a short break from studying for my Chinese test on Monday.>>

After seeing that its main ally, Jennivier, had joined the war and was starting to suffer some casualties, Peoplethings's government has decided to join the cause and support the TNP, but mainly its ally Jennivier.

Peoplethings will send 12 naval fleets, standard size, to the area 11 oceans and coastal zones, 400,000(Jennivier+Peoplethings= around 600,000 troups) troups over the course of 36 hours, and an additional 20,000 tanks, 10,000 armored vehicles, and 12,000 hummers. All of which are to be sent to the area 11 shores and used at Jennivier's, and the TNP's, disposal.

It is hoped this aid, as well over 2 billion in economic aid, will allow the Jenniverian forces to take zone 11. Peoplethings would aslo like to anounce its deployment of AFSS troups, or the Allied Forces Sercret Service Troups, a group of 5,000 of the world's most highly trained and efficent killers. They will be moved in via semi-stealth helicopters during the night. There goal is to seek and destroy all and any superior officers they find in major area 11 cities.

"More capitalist fools coming to their deaths?" The commander smiles. "It looks like our friend Phyrric will be able to test out his fleet quite nicely. If he need help, I'm sure that our bombers would be quite happy to provide support."

After receiving word of a possible MOAB attack the Jennivierian forces have increased their guard and aimed SAM missiles into the air. C-130s will be like sitting ducks thanks to their large size and slow speeds. We welcome the layed back target practice.

Jennivier will be providing security to oncoming PT forces. We shall make rutine flies over them with our SU-27/30 fighters.

Jennivier would also like to thank Peoplethings for its generous support. We can't describe how happy and appreciative we are, such support could turn the war.

OOC: Hahaha, Phyrric stop Jennivier and Peoplethings? That's like saying a 10 year old could take on 2 thirty year olds. I'm sure PT will be glad for the target practice. As for you, Edolia, I could care less how old, or highly trained you are. The fac tis you are taking far more damages then what you're saying. You are nowhere near as good as you think, nor want to be, IN real life, two nations the size, and of the same economic strength, as Jennivier and PT would crush you, and still have some left for Phyrric.

"Sir, here are the combat reports:

the 1st Infantry has secured the city of Nacogdoches and surrounding area with minimal resistance.

Armor units encountered mild resistance outside of Bryan, but when 2nd troops arrived shortly after, the mayor surrendered the city.

We are still moving down the beach, Lake Jackson and Bay City have both fallen. The 223rd Marine is making headway towards Victoria as we speak.

Losses from resistance and fighting has incurred 140 deaths and 200 injuries."

"Excellent job, have the 2nd garrison Bryan and proceed to Killeen, send another 15,000 as reinforcements, we will be expecting heavy fighting once we hit the outskirts of Waco and Austin. Garrison Nacogdoches and procced to Palestine with the 1st, send them another 5,000 reinforcements. Do not cross into TNP. Let the 223rd have fun on the beaches that they so dearly love."

"Aye sir, the withdrawal of Kisnesian troops is near complete, are there any further orders?"

"Yes, send a message requesting further assistance and deployment of another 125,000 troops and increase the air patrols over all areas occupied by Phyrric. Establish a base and fuel depot in Port Arthur, start cycling the naval units for some RR."

"More capitalist fools coming to their deaths?" The commander smiles. "It looks like our friend Phyrric will be able to test out his fleet quite nicely. If he need help, I'm sure that our bombers would be quite happy to provide support."

Phyrric has severed diplomatic ties with Jennivier. All diplomats and ambassadors have been recalled. The terms of the blockade stand.

Thanks to aid from PT Jennivier can now afford to seek out Phyrric based blockade ships. Our planes will start with the area 11 waters and move up to area 6 waters, then graze area 5 waters. We have launched 600 Q-5 ground attack based bombers. They were launced from airforce based in and around Jennivier. Within the next 6 hourd an additional 200 will join the hunt. The Q-5 is one of the fastest bombers in the Jennivierian airforce, they should have no problem outrunning SAM missiles, and should be able to destroy ennemy ships before they have a chance to launch their planes. This attack will be much like American attacks on the Japaneese boats during WW2, hit and run.

http://utenti.lycos.it/drno/news/Q5_bomb.jpg

and would it be logical to say that Jennivier is close to Texas?

First off, I would like to see that plane outrun a SAM or CIWS system.

Second off, what fuel tanks are you carrying to be able to fly from Brownsville to Houston to Florida and make it back to where ever those planes came from, that would be about a 5K mile round trip easy. I ask this because you will be going really slow.

<<OOC: Excuse me? Phyrric and I are bigger than the two of you and we both are far more active and thus have more worked-out militaries. I'm willing to say that I'm taking damages but I don't understand how the hell you could land that many troops and not take major casualties when you're being carpet-bombed by planes? Thus, like I said, we have AS MANY troops as you, plus armor support, plus air support! How can you possible believe that you are winning the battle? Please, stop.

What has happened to your fleet? Must I argue with you more about how 800 Yakhont-3 missiles would have destroyed it? Fleets are vulnerable! If you put a big fleet 50 miles away from the coast, do not expect it to live long. They need to be out in the middle of the ocean to have any sort of chance of survival!>>

Stop saying I'm godmodding, I've had enough of taking no major damages no waht anybody does, you have countless money for some reason too, that needs to stop, and 800 missiles into the open ocean still gets me. You need to come back to earth or leave the war. I'm ignoring all your moves till you get realistic with your actions. BTW I said PT and I could take YOU and POSSIBLY have some force leftover for Phyrric. Pay attention to what you read.

GODMODDER..and if you had payed attention to waht I posted, you would've noticed I said "should" not "for sure" or "definently"

My god. You need to listen to reason. Instead of just telling me that I'm wrong, how about trying to argue with me? I have a lot of money because I'm a HUGE, RICH COUNTRY! If you calculate my GDP, you will find that my military budget is easily in the multi-trillions of dollars. Please, if you can explain how your army can defeat superior numbers with heavy support, by all means do so. I'm willing to hear. However, you haven't mentioned anything about that.

And to have your ally get to me, he first has to fight through Phyrric, doesn't he?>>

I ask this because you will be going really slow. That's the whole idea of sending another 200, these will have to be refueled and/or come back to our airforce bases to be refulaed then sent back out. Also note: read what I post, I said "should" not "definently", it was a figure of speech.

IC: I am going to be away fro a tad, waiting on others to post.

OOC:
Jenn....what is the deal with the planes and navy man?

How are forces being reinforced by you? Cannot be coming from Mexico, Gar2 and Edolia have that box locked, cannot be coming from the sea, we have not had a confrontation yet, never saw a post of mass movements down from the north...so whats up?

You have 188M more then me, and lower civil rights. Civil rights add to your GDP hence you don't have much more then me. Also commen sense tells you only about 10% max of your GDP is your military. Asides from that 10% that includes ALL your military, eg Navy, Army, equipment, training, so your nowhere near as good as you think. And for your info I'm a senior in HS Academic Honors classes who has a 3.77 average GPA, average being my HS career.

Since when do civil rights have anything to do with the economy? The little box that says "economy" says what sort of economy you have, not your civil rights (mine are just a tad bit lower btw). There is absolutely nothing in NationStates that says your economy has anything to do with it. Perhaps we should bring this to a forum moderator and he can tell us what happens when two armies go against each other, one obviously superior to the other.

Alarms blearing as all 4 missle are being loaded with nuclear war heads. All 4 targets are confirmed and the luanch crew awaits the Generals signal. The General then takes a deep breathe and says,"Open the silo doors."

As the doors open it reveals a large nuclear missile, primed and ready for launch.
http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/publications/bulletins/aviation/images/aviation4.jpg

"Open doors 2, 3, and 4 aswell. We're sending everything we've got."

He then types in the lunch sequence to the computer. And says to the Captian.

"Raise hell"

the captian then walks over and puts in a key and flips the switch that reveals a big red button.

"General you do the honnor"

*loud explosion noise as underground silo shakes*

The first missile is luanched as the other await there timed sequence to launch.

Once again your narrow mindedness shows through. If you were to use a GDP calc you would see your nations GDP is in the trillions, just like mine, not your militaries. Also you would notice that higher civil rights does mean more money to the economy, any GDP calc clearly states this. Apparently you aren't as smart, nor as good, as you would like to think.

General Thompson questions"I hope everyone in and around Corpus Christi got out fast enough. We have 1 nuke coming down on the city and 1 to the north, south, and west of the damn place."

"Uhh...I dont remeber giving them a warning sign of the missiles?"

"Oh sure you did we would of had to tell them about the nukes!"

"Sir, I think that everyone is still there. They have no idea!"

"Well then we will just have to blame it on sombody else. I hate it when this happens"

Pyrrhus has issued the following:

"A declaration of war has just been issued to Reformed Texas for the use of nuclear weapons. Our intent is complete and total unconditional surrender, full occupation and reduction to a puppet state hearby overseen by a UNAOTO committee.

End statement

"Sir, Corpus Christ has just been knocked out. The TNP nuked us, sir."
The Imperator of Edolia, Erik von Blatterschplitt sat in his throne, stunned. "Retaliate. I want to see everything under TNP control a radioactive wasteland."
"Yes sir."

Nineteen 15 kiloton nuclear warheads are launched from Edolia. They streak towards their targets, different areas under TNP control. Edolia holds its breath. This will launch the first use of nuclear missiles by Edolia in its history. All of Zones 3 and 4 will be completely wiped out and most of Zone 2 will be destroyed (the TNP-controlled part).

Meanwhile in Corpus Christi, casualties are high. Over 30,000 Edolian soldiers have been killed in this nuclear assault.

A message has been sent to all warring parties, suggesting that some sort of peace agreement be reached after this nuclear exchange.

In an effort to help our obviously confused ally, RT, Jennivier has launched several Patriot missiles all ICBM missiles. The Patriots were fired from checkpoints on small islands sorrounding Jennivier.

OOC: Too cool to admit you're the one at fault? Like my dad I'm only wrong in a very very rare blue moon. I know my stuff and you aren't half as good as you want to be. GODMODDER has been declared on you, feel free to get a forum mod, they'll say the same.

Sir missile 2,3 and 4 have all luanched. Corpus Christi will be hit by them all in exactly 1 min. 43 sec. at the same time.

what????????? is going on with Jennivier?

How is seeking a peace accord Godmod? Can this be explained? There was no fault admitted there, just a suit for peace after a nuclear exchange.

<<Patriots don't do shat, and they especially wouldn't do anything against ICBMs. If you know so much about weapons, you should certainly know that.

BTW, it's not very professional to argue by saying "You're wrong. I'm rarely wrong. Believe me." Once again, you have said absolutely nothing to back up your claims of military superiority while I have said quite a bit. Either way, I don't think it matters. I expect that this will all end in Texas being reduced to a nuclear wasteland.

BTW, there's something wrong with that calculator. My budget should be a lot larger than it is (I have 100% tax rate).>>

Ask a forum mod, because my life says your wrong and the GDP calc is right, taxes have nothing to do with economic power. Stop being stupid and just ask a mod because I know you're wrong. And I don't know much about missiles, I've been asking my dad, but I didn't ask him on that one, and yes patriots would do something to an ICBM, missile+missile=explosion, patriots are plenty big, they just lack the needed speed,.

I am going to be withdrawling my forces from the capital and surreder all forces to the National army. CBGP will not be able to clean up the nuclear mess that the communist have irresponsibly created.

oh man, I thought this was going to be fun.......some people need to read the sticky threads about starting a nuclear war, it is the ultimate way to kill a thread. Off to greener pastures I guess......

Alright... They lack the needed speed. That's one of the reasons they don't do anything! The other reasons include the fact that the way they work is this: They blow up and use shrapnel to destroy the plane/missile. It's effective against planes but missiles aren't as delicate and it rarely works on them. Either way my nukes would be airburst, thus they would explode pretty high up. Patriots wouldn't have the time to get to them.

And I never said taxes had anything to do with economic power. But the budget would be how much of your GDP your taxes take up. 100% taxes means that the budget should equal 100% of your GDP. Thus....

Stop saying stupid statements like "My life says you're wrong." Back your claims up. It's the only way that you'll ever be taken seriously in life, kid.

the Communist Forces have haulted all there advances and surrender all there forces to the Natoinal Army. We denie any claims of alliance we made with Edolia, Westmoon and any other nation that claimed to be fighting for the Communist cuase. They shame the name of Communism.

Edolian forces are leaving the Texas area. Erik von Blatterschplitt shook his head sadly. "Texans aren't worth saving. Perhaps we should just wipe the country out. Fools who start nuclear wars do not deserve to live."

The massive, five trillion dollar SDI defense satellite cloud that hovers around the Haven region (built by 14 nations, mostly very powerful and rich) begins defending Edolia from this attack. However, on a fluke, one makes it through....

13 nuclear missle are being fired at the Edolian capital. and 10 at the capital of Phyrric. There was no need for such an irrational counter nuclear attack on Texas. You didnt hurt the TNP as much as the people. The TNP was on battle fronts in other places. More civilians died from this bombing than all the soldiers that died in this war! CT is right you are a shame to the name of communism!

OOC:Shouldnt the Edolian leader in Texas be killed since RT nuked his ass?

Jenniviers Current President: "Well, well, and well. There's no need fo us in Texas now. I'm ordering the full withdrawl of forces. These senseless nations can duke it out all they want, the only true winners are us, hell we're the only ones smart enough to keep out of this nuclear war, you can't beat that.

Tell PT they're 5b has been rerouted back to their accounts, we can do now. God bless us, and mainly Jennivier!

ENOUGH ALREADY!!! EDOLIA YOUR BEING THE BIGGEST DICK IN THE WORLD! YOU CANT EVEN AFFORD HALF OF THOSE NUKES YOU JUST CLAIMED TO HAVE!!! YOU ARE A HUGE GODMODDER!!! AND JUST BECAUSE I LAUNCH A FOUR NUKES DOESNT MEAN YOU CAN START GOING NUKE HAPPY!!!! ALL OF YOUR NUCLEAR ATTACKS HAVE BEEN IGNORED.

<<OOC: Um... considering the US has about 5,000 nuclear warheads (or somewhere in that area) and Edolia is about three times larger and richer we can easily afford to do that.

And what do you expect? If you launch your nukes at Edolia, we'll launch them back.>>

Yes, the Edolian leader in CC is dead.

BLN has successfully occupied Tucumcari, New Mexico with little resistance, and has set up base for BLN's troops and any other allied troops that need a place to go.
Whittier is not going to like that. That's his territory.

Since when do civil rights have anything to do with the economy? The little box that says "economy" says what sort of economy you have, not your civil rights (mine are just a tad bit lower btw). There is absolutely nothing in NationStates that says your economy has anything to do with it. Perhaps we should bring this to a forum moderator and he can tell us what happens when two armies go against each other, one obviously superior to the other. Once again your narrow mindedness shows through. If you were to use a GDP calc you would see your nations GDP is in the trillions, just like mine, not your militaries. Also you would notice that higher civil rights does mean more money to the economy, any GDP calc clearly states this. Apparently you aren't as smart, nor as good, as you would like to think.

Edolia Gross Domestic Product
Population: 906,000,000
Civil Rights: Very Good
Economy: Frightening
GDP per Capita: $35,000
GDP: $31,710,000,000,000
National Budget: $16,972,714,080,000

brought to you by:http://www.pipian.com/stuffforchat/gdpcalc.php

Well you can't argue with that, you're obviously wrong, your nations budget is the only trillion in that figure, not your military.

In RL civil rights have nothing to do with the economy. This game is something entirely different however.

Sorry to bust your bubbles, but in RL, taxes are one the two main factors that affect your economy. The other main factor is the interest rates that are set by your nation's central bank.
I would know this having done some work for certain people in political office.
Unfortunately, the people who created the GDP calculator did not take that into account and are as noted earlier, mistakenly presuming that GDP is determined entirely on population and civil rights.
In RL, all of the nations that tried to do their economies this way are actually bankrupt nations now.

IC:
In response to the deteriotation of the RT conflict into nuclear exchange and the cold blooded massacre of withdrawing West Moon forces but the capitalists.
West Moon has activated its star wars anti nuke program and is now shooting down all nukes being launched by either side.
Furthermore, 550,000 West Moon troops equipped with antiradiation suits are being deployed to the area occuppied by the massacred West Moon soldiers to establish a safehaven for all Texan civilians who wish to escapes the war and to begin clearing the areas 8 and 11 of all radiation.
These troops are not there to invade or impose any political system on the people of Texas. They are there to setup a safe haven for civilians and to be peacekeepers.
They will be heavily armed so it is advised not to attack the peacekeepers.
As soon they are in place, a great council will be held with the surviving populace to set up a new government run by the locals until the RT war is over.
Further, it the West Moon military has been ordered to target the nuclear facilities of all remaining belligerents. They now have 12 hours to halt the launch of all further nuclear missiles or face a strategical nuclear strike by West Moon designed toward eliminating said nations' nuclear capacities.
We do not seek war with these nations but they halt their nuclear war at once, or we will do it for them.
They have 12 hours to comply.

I think the nukes would've hit by now

I think the nukes would've hit by now

It's a warning against launching new nukes. :D

WestMoon: Since the nukes aren't heading towards you, your SDI probably wouldn't be able to stop them. We have the right to respond to nuclear attacks made against us.

We also warn you that any attacks made upon the nuclear facilities of Edolia will be considered attacks upon our nuclear deterrant and a full scale nuclear assault will be made upon you as well. Do not get involved in a conflict that does not involve you.

We are perfectly willing to negotiate with what remains of Texas (though unless Redevac has a very big SDI program there wont be anything left of him) and we have withdrawn all troops from the region.

bump

Due to the nuclear activity, Kisnesian troops have been withdrawn from Reformed Texas. 30,000 were killed or wounded in the nuclear launch on region 4, just as the planned assult on region 5 was beginning.

Kisnesia will contact WestMoon about participating in the peacekeeping force.

Damn RT, settle down. What is the point of this racial statements and flamebait? Chill

This is why I left to avoid all this, cannot believe I still had this site tagged.

(Mod contacted about racial slurs)

what about contacting the mods over Edolias un-realistic nuclear attacks? And him constantly harassing Jennivier? Not only that but he was not being fare in the maps that he was making. He was not giving Jennivier the amout of territory he actually controled. Not only that but he was acting as if he was the best person in the war(which is not over). And if you look at the map he makes the RT nuclear missile stricks greatly smaller than the ones he said hit the TNP controled areas. Edolia was not being a fair player at all. He was godmodding a lot and made enemies very quickly with his arrogant attitiude.

There are angry vibes here.
Just relax. No call for racial slurs. No call for namecalling.
No call godmoding.
We just ignore all but 3 or 4 of Edolia's nuke strikes and call it even.
And the contaminated areas, will mostly be in zones 8 and 11.
No reason for anyone to be hotheads.
Just calm down.

West Moon also demands in explanation from Edolia. As over 65,000 of our troops were brutally massacred as they packing up and preparing to leave RT. If it turns out that the incompetent leader of Edolia's armed forces caused a nuclear, West Moon promises that Edolia will suffer the consequences. We demand to know who started the nuclear war.

Edolia is also going to be removed from this roleplay for unfair playing. And to Teegeria. There is no nuclear war. It was just 4 hits in Corpus Christi to greatly weaken Communist Forces. But it has turned into a massacure. No more nuclear strikes will be made(Simply because im all out now) And for the heck of it, Edolia why did you make an irrational post with 19 nuclear missile shots?

I live in NM and near an airport, the winds are nearly ALWAYS from the east. The planes take off into the wind on runway 8-26 toward the mountains. Good to live in the region that is questioned. :)

Thank you all, it has been enjoyable, have a good night and do not forget to tip your waitresses.

<<OOC: RT's the boss so I'm not going to argue about being kicked out of the RP but here's the thing...

Perhaps some people don't understand the seriousness of the use of nuclear weapons. Remember... IF YOU USE NUCLEAR WEAPONS THERE WILL BE A FULL RESPONSE! That goes for any nation in the real world and in the NationStates world. When you use weapons of mass destruction, expect a full response. That is why sane/smart nations do not use nuclear weapons unless their enemy doesn't have them. If you use nukes for no reason, expect to be destroyed.

Either way, if my rational and realistic use of nuclear weapons is IGNORED, I will fire IGNORE cannons back against Reformed Texas for being a racist, for being an asshole and for being an idiot.

Oh, and about not responding to the nuclear blackmail -- you made it clear that it would be almost impossible to find the nukes so I decided to leave it alone and not risk Edolian lives. I didn't expect that the TNP would be so idiotic as to use nuclear weapons.>>

OOC: Im using my nukes to get ride of the communist. And i am want to fire them but first i need to see what the communist will do now. Since i have there Headquarters outside of Corpus Christi i decided to target all around it and inside of Corpus Christi. And Kisnesia Why leave the war if the nukes could get the communist out of Texas, then all we would have left is the CBGP, DGP, GLP and RU

Because this war is not to the point that nukes are necessary. Plus, when people start lobbing around nukes, it attracts the attention of larger and larger nations until it no longer matters what happens in Reformed Texas, as everyone else will just start nuking each others homelands.

It also presents the opportunity for major Godmod wars.

If TNP is hit by nukes first, then it was done by a foriegn nation, not by one of the national factions. At that point , Kisnesia will withdraw all troops from Reformed Texas, and launch an invasion of the offender's homeland.

KEEP THE NUKES AT BAY!

What? Did I hear something?

The Federation of Big Long Now has recalled its troops home, and is now looking onto different things. We are a developing nation, and cannot keep fighting this extensive war.
