Is it realistic RP

I dunno if this was fair but from the outset I anounced my nation as one founded 60 years ago by an international aerospace consortium which took and slowed a massive near earth asteroid into a stable orbit - this site of scientific and aerospace engineering research eventually became the self sufucient Colony of Neoluna - making a living off of biomedical, industrial and aerospace science research grants and products.

60 years after its founding in stable orbit as a research center - about 5 million people were working out of Neoluna - these explorers, engineers and scientist mostly are concedered the population of Neoluna.

And about 60 years later we have developed a unique problem. Since our founding we have been forced to sell our aerospace products and launch systems to any nation or corporation that could afford to pay for in order to survive. Now easy access to space exsist to any well off corporation. And some nations don't have tight laws or limitations on what they're corporations can do. In fact in some post capitalist states mega corporations as they are called run the show. If some of these states relly heavily on an aerospace industry they'll find themselves in heavy competition with us naturally. We have found a few branches of these megacorporations setting up major installations in space and launching pirate missions from them. We have tracked 2 major space terrorist cells to 2 such megacorp branches and have dispatched them accordingly.

OOC :: I have a few questions - like whats an hour or day in game? whats 4 days and 7 million more people later on in game time?

4 days ago RL time I made this announcment:
We have fended ourselves from 3 raids and 2 terrorist attacks - attemps to destroy our fledgling nation.

In response we've announced a 220 - 305 billion dolar defense construction contract grant to the most capable suplier of proven defense systems in paticular a mobile base of ops with a manufacturing unit on a par with our shipyards, a multirole capital ship & aerospace superiority fighter designs so an orbital guard can be founded to destroy piracy and space terrorism.

Now after heavy trade negotiations with larger, powerful nations which we conceder allies in the war against space piracy and terror - we believe we are in a possition to defend ourselves even though we have yet to fulfill the primary objectives of the original emergency grant - grant money has instead been used to research manufacturing and production techniques to replicate more advanced technologies lended from or brought from our trade partners 01 and Seed for example.

I think I've work with the constraiants of good role playing here.
And I want to make a store front the international neoluna exchange but I would like some feedback from more experienced NS players first.

((OOC: You're RPing a very unique nation, and yes, of course it's good RP. I'm warmed by how many newbies like you are coming into NationStates, newbies who actually are willing to RP well, and that can RP the pants off of some older nations. You have a great concept going, so stick with it!

Oh, and time is rubber in NationStates. It is generally agreed that a year is a day and you need to be a month old RL before you build nukes, but many people tweak time so their characters don't die out after two months.

The only thing I can see wrong with all of this is the defense construction. It'll cost at least $220 billion, something your nation doesn't have to spare at this point. You can check your GDP here (http://www.pipian.com/stuffforchat/gdpcalc.php?nation=Neoluna), to see how much you can afford.))

OOC :: the 220-305 billion credit expenditure I though possible concedering the explosive growth in the aerospace industry at the tie of our founding.

IC :: It became a trillion dolar industry for us within 30 years. By the time the international aerospace consortium granted us independance - we had 220 billion ready and 88 billion more we could possibly put down in emergency funding without going belly up - a neat trick is how our nation is very technology intensive - a lot of corporations started brand spanking new from neoluna along with thier new biomedical, industrial or aerospace innovations or original inventions for the international market.

OOC: Of course its a great idea! It could work unbelievingly well, as either a charactor rp (having a main charactor) or a nation rp(having wars and stuff). Either way, its a good idea, and I'm just as happy to see a newer rper whos able. Anyway, I suggest you continue the rp, and count me in in any way possible.
