As work continues on the Doujin, I have chosen a few select nations that are able to get a preview of what is to come.
Nations chosen:
Unum Veritas
Scandavian States
War_in_heaven
Credonia
Pwnica
New Empire
The Zoogie People
Edit: Clan Smoke Jaguar can to, if he wants
The prospective people, please telegram me or email me either your MSN / AIM / Yahoo instant messenger address, or give me your email address.

FAQ About the Doujin, and naval warfare in NS.
Notes About the Doujin and her Armour:
General Protection:
Low Priority Belt: 12? Treated Plate Steel/3? Titanium Composite
High Priority Belt: 20? Reinforced Plate Steel/ 3? DPU Band within Titanium Composite Panelling
Internal Bulkhead (Low Priority): 10? Treated Plate Steel
Internal Bulkhead (High Priority/Keel) 18? Reinforced Plate Steel
Internal Bulkhead (Command Centre) 24? Reinforced Titanium Composite
Turret Mount (General) 20? Reinforced Plate Steel/6? Titanium Composite
Turret Mount (Faceplate/Roofing) 36? Reinforced Titanium
Structural Pressure Release Systems, Combat Frame etc:
Because it was anticipated that considerable amounts of firepower would be aimed at the Doujin in order to disable her, significant improvements were made to the armour and the structural frame that supports it, as well as other measures.
The primary armour around core systems is secondary. All vital systems (basically stripped down to the command centre, engines (the water jet propulsion system is capable of internal steerage, rendering rudders off the vital list), main turrets and basic comm systems). These are well protected. Aside from the exterior armour they sit about thirty metres from any contact point, beyond three high priority armoured bulkheads as well as the exterior panelling and its own very tough level of protection. Penetration-based missiles can at best hope to get past the first layer of armour, destroying ?blast space?, but not going deep within the ship.
As she was designed in the Freethinkers, she was built with Freethinker naval ideas in mind as well as Doujin ones. She is built with an excess of ?blast space?, decks sitting between armoured bulkheads fitted with items of secondary importance. Pressure release systems, such as those found on modern day warships in order to prevent magazine explosions finishing off a ship, are used to prevent bulkling along the ships interior frame. The Doujin is built to be hit and have her exterior armour penetrated repeatedly, but remain with her core systems intact.
In order to maintain structural strength, a honey-comb like frame of steel is used within lateral titanium meshes that the decks sit on, which are in turn attached to the Titanium Composite ribs which are in turn welded to the keel. A triple bottom of low and high priority belts can stop the concentrated blast of a standard 21? torpedo, and the sheer length and structural strength of the entire composed network of metal supports prevents cavitation damage.
RAM (Radar Absorbant Material) is not so much to hide the presence of the vessel per se, as to deny accurate targetting of incoming radar-guided weapons. As the only realistic way any other set of surface vessels is to disable the Doujin in any meaningful capacity is to deploy long range missiles attacks against precise hull targets, then heavily shielding the radar profile prevents the accurate targetting by ranged radar and sensor systems of the Doujin?s primary warfare assets. Combined with the overtly powerful ECM suite, blanket CIWS and missile protection and sophesticated network of decoys, then the Doujin can safely remain unworried by ranged missile strikes.
