Maybe it's longer, but you didn't write it all in one sitting, now, did you? Especially while only half-concious at four in the morning.
Not to mention you seem to make up for lack of content with big lettering.

- Hmmm, how quaint. Mere guards. The bodyguard smiled at the 15 guards.
"Of course, i will put down my gun." he looked to the left. Tenebri agents were rushing down the hall. Perhaps he wasn't needed after all. He leapt into the air and kicked out at the man who appeared to be in charge of the group of Guards. His foot made contact and the leaders head was snapped back. The other guards proceeded to fire at him, hitting him in the chest. He fell to the ground. By now the guards were rushing at the tenebri agents. Perhaps he could buy some time for his allies to get in. He pulled out his sword. Leaping up and off the ground he caught a guard running by him in the stomach with his sword. The remaining 13 guards turned around. He yelled and threw a Flash Bang grenade, then ran screaming towards the guards, sword in hand. the guards were blinded by the Flash Bang Grenade and were prone to the bodyguards attacks. After decisively chopping through them all, he saw more guards at the end of the corridor. By now, the tenebri were in the room, and had saved the queen. As for the bodyguard, he had killed allies of the state. he saved the queen by allowing friendly bodyguards through. Now was the hour when glorious death embraced him. He smiled. He was going to die, but not alone. He peeled off his body armor which had taken many bullets for him already. He shut the door leading into the Queen's suit and thrust his sword into the door at an angle, thrusting it into the wall.; therefore sealing the door (temporarily, unless some adrenaline pumped dude pulls the sword out). He picked up his gun and emptied all of its rounds at the oncoming bodyguards. Then as they take aim with their assorted weapons, he pulls out a small knife and throws it at a guard, killing him instantly. Without a seconds hesitation, the guards empty their guns on the bodyguard. Bronko Misthailn, Loyal armed servant of the deceased Lord Vineyard Falls to his knees. The guards still firing, Bronko Misthailn falls, face first on the ground. Dead.

Whittier's forces, shocked at the manner in which the govt. of Madagascar has been treating relief workers and oppressing its own people, have begun to reinforce Vineyardian assaults. Brezhnekov has issued a statement that the leader of Madagascar turn himself in to alliance authorities to face charges of crimes against humanity.
Similar corruption has been uncovered in the Seychelles, Comorros and Tanzania. Consequently, the govt. of Tanzania has been formally deposed. Special ops teams are now tracking down the corrupt leaders of the Seychelles and Comorros.
20,000 troops have arrived in Eritrea to provide relief to that nation. Accompanying the troops are 5,000 battle tanks.
--Zagreb News-- Madascar has been conquered, Vineyardian troops and whittier- troops marching through the streets, victorious. Citizens cheered, apparently happy about the takeover. The Finial battle was quick and Bloody. Vineyardian and Whittier- troops fromed up for the attack while Vineyardian artillary pounded enemy positions. When the troops ran screaming and yellign towards the Madascarian troop positions, the madascarian troops surrendered. of course, none could be taken into custady due to the insistance of the Madascar Liberation Front. The Madascar Liberation Front calimed that they were going to rebell once they were released, so all enemy captured troops were executed. A permanate Gov't is being set up, one that is only a mere puppet to Whittier- and Vineyard gov'ts. Madascar is now under the joint control of Whittier- and Vineyard. 800,000 Vineyardian troops departed Madascar to help their Whittier- allies in their other conquests in Seychelles, Comorros and Tanzania. The troops are expected to play a critical role in the securing of and the conquests of these countries.

Warta Endor
16-01-2005, 21:22
ooc. Great to see some new players!
***Message for all nations in Earth V***
Warta Endor will begin a large reform in its government and its policies. For now the following things will change:
1. Warta Endor will retreat from Africa as soon as possible.
2. Its military will be reduced, modernized and better trained.
3. A neutral position will be taken in foreign affairs. Only if an ally is directly attacked will it step up for an ally.
4. Elections will be held as soon as possible. This will mean the end of an one party system.
5. The nations with which we have a bad relation (Kopparbergs, Doomingsland) will be contacted to see if relations can be improved.
1-Doomingsland will be contacted to see if a peace can be established. Warta Endor's African possesions may be given to Doomingsland.
2-Warta Endors forces (currently about 12 million active and 5 million reserves) will be reduced to 8 million active and 5 million reserves. More money will be spended in research. The Air Force and Army will be modernized and adjusted to the function of regional power in SE asia.
3-Warta Endor has enough of war in far away places. It will only participate in a war if an ally is directly attacked.
4-The people of Warta Endor aren't very positive about the current communist government. Elections will be held as soon as enough parties have subscribed.
***Telegram to the nation of Doomingsland***
I know the current relations between our two countries aren't good. Warta Endor would like to see it improved. We will retreat from Africa if you agree. You may take control of the african possesions if you let all Warta Endorean forces retreat.
Signed, General Jang

Pirates in the Carribean!!!!!!!
Not only are they reaking havoc on coastal shipping, they are extremely dimwitted. One boat armed with 3 8" inch guns tried to knock out an Toyru Class BB!!!! What were these people thinking? All 9 18" inch guns were aimed on the vessel and when the smoke cleared there was only a bit of wood left floating on water. Naval Patrols have been incountering much pirate behavior in the last month. These ships are heavily armed when compared to an unarmed commerical vessel, but the second they step up against a Naval ship, they're done. These pirates are belived to be entering the pacific from northern waters near Mexico.

Tenebricosis
16-01-2005, 23:50
Yakovi Dreft, Premier of Tenebricosis and Chairman of the UFSR, entered the wide hallway leading to his office, the walls of which were draped with large banners depicting his likeness. A long green carpet carpet was unrolled by two servents as he began his march. A long line of soldiers flanked the carpet on either side; they each saluted in turn as the Premier passed them. The Tenebri Patriot's Melody began its flourish with trumpets and violins and seal vocalists, blossoming into the hypnotic tuned which had been specifically designed to instill a patriotic fervor in the hearts of all who had been conditioned to hear it. As the Premier exited through the ornate door at the top of a flight of stairs at the end of the hall, an enormous Tenebri Flag unfurled behind him. It was good to be home.
Dreft entered his private study. He glaced at his rows upon rows of seamonkeys. They appeared to be doing well. One had already grown fangs and was actively trying to escape his small glass prison. Dreft smiled. They would be ready for the seas soon. He sat down at his imposing black marble desk to read the news. Ah, good. The puppet government he had set up in South East Russia had finally asked to be annexed by Tenebricosis. It's about time, it's been nearly a year since the end of the Second Korean War.
What's this? A new panel had been added to his control array while he was at the "peace conference". It consisted of a number pad, an LED display, and a large red button. He liked buttons. Dreft entered his birth year, for fun, and delicately pressed the large, shiney, red ceramic button.
A spring underneath the button gave way to the pressure being applied to it. A strip of metal, only a centimetre long, came in contact with two other pieces of metal only fifty millimetres apart. An electric impulse was sent through a wire which was connected to Pr. Dreft's computer inside his desk. It retrieved a string of numbers and letters which was sent at the speed of light through a series of copper wires to an underground installation in Perm.
A message flashed on one of the many moniters embedded in the Premier's desk. SILO 1983 ACTIVATED. LAUNCH IMMINENT. Every light in the Kremlin shut off simultaniously. A loud, synthesised BEERP filled the room, and red flashing lights replaced the once calm fluorescent glow. The Premier was startled at first, but then red the words on the one lit screen. His face was illuminated by the soft blue radiation of the computer moniter. "Oh, crap."
He frantically searched his desk for the speaker into which he could deliver commands to his advisors. Dreft found the device and wrenched it from its plastic holder. He clicked it on and shouted into the mouthpiece. "This is the Premier! To any and all personnel working for the greater good at Silo 1983, DISABLE THIS MISSILE AS SOON AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE! Whoever is responsible for the successful shutdown of this launch will be made a Hero of the Fedsoc Union!" He replaced the radio transmitter in its clip. His fingers twisted anxiously. This might be the end, he thought. Damn. I forgot to record Adventures of BeanPaste Man.

Silo 1983 was in chaos. They were the silo currently in charge of the Cobalt warhead which had been armed and aimed at the capital of Sharina. Noone knew why the order had come down from the Kremlin to launch, but noone cared. They had new orders, orders which were nearly impossible. The missile was already initiated. It had begun the launch sequence, and it could not be stopped from taking off.
Boris Yashkonitsivych was a nuclear physicist/nuclear weapons expert. His current assignment was Director of Silo 1983 located in an undisclosed location in Perm. His mind was racing, trying to think of a way to stop the missle before it reached the apex of its climn. After that, nothing short of the hand of God could stop it. But, God was against the law, now, he remembered. The hand of Trotsky Incarnate, then.
Boris was seated at the head computer terminal in the monitering station five miles from the actual underground silo. He had almost won a game of Party-Enemy Sweeper when the alert sounded over the PA. LAUNCH CODE ENTERED, LAUNCH IMMINENT. EVACUTE PREMISES. The robotic voice repeated this message over and over again. He couldn't believe it at first. This was not supposed to happen yet, there was no war! But someone at the Kremlin had access to the codes and have sent them here. He looked out the window and to his horror saw the top of a missile rising from the ground. A deep rumble filled the room, shaking everything. The missile gained velocity and left the surface of the earth. It was already half a kilometre in the air before Boris did anything.
He began trying all the default abort codes; none of them worked, the launch had come from the Kremlin. He tryed to access the missile's onboard computer. It was encrypted with a 2048-bit algorithm. There was only one option left. He began typing furiously, trying to remember the correct syntax of the commands he was about to send. He hoped that this one string of text which was now nothing more than a radio oscillation would stop the start of a global thermonuclear conflict.
Two hundred miles from the surface of the earth, still situated directly above Zagreb from before Vineyard had joined the UFSR, the Federal Defense Sattelite began to stir. It had recieved orders to turn towards a missle that was over two thousand miles away and fire a concentrated beam at the fuel compartment. Its thrusters kicked in and it slowly began to turn.
For five short minutes, all across the world, a bright purple streak could be seen in the sky. It was followed shortly by an explosion that ended the city of Perm. One million sacks of flesh formerly known as human beings were converted into hydrogen, and all that remained of the once-great city of Perm were a few scattered ruins of some blackened skyscraper.

Pirates attack food convoy leaving Martinique
Slowly cruising at 20 knots the 3 Baracuda Class Supplie ships were easy prey for bandits but the day of pirates in the carribean were long gone, that was a thing of the 1600s. This food shipment was going to Uruguay
Suddenly BAM an 5" shell landed right into to the tower in the last ship killing the helmsman and wounding the captain. Having nothing else onboard except for 4, 50 cal. (Located on the Quatermasters deck) They tried to push full speed back towards Martinque.
The fast Pirate boats (at biggest 70') ran up aside the supply ship and fired two more shots into the side of the ship, now taking on water it was forced to stop.
The other two Supply ships opened fired with the machine guns strafing the pirates ship decks, the would be boarding party was either shot or now hiding.
Wounded Captain, "We're beening attacked, we've taken hits and there's a man down get some one out here!"
The pirate ship continued to fire on the other two ships and a direct shot hit a machine gun, killing 3
Far off an Missle Corvette was seen coming full speed out of Martinque and the pirates knew it was too dangerous to proceed. Firing 3 more shots at the supply vessels before leaving, taken nothing except 6 of their own crew dead.
The missle corvette came along side the supply ships and helped escort the damaged one back to an dry dock for repairs, the other two went directly back t oharbor for minor repairs and "refitting".
Total Revertromance dead: 4
Injured: 3
The ships now have a 5 inch gun in the bow that can flip up incase of attack (much like the German Q-Ship) and have an additonal 8 machine guns along each side bringing the number to 20 machine guns a vessel. To help with the new threat each convoy leaving Revertromance will now be escorted by an Hellsing Class BB.
The very next day another 3 ship food convoy leaves for Urugauy, this time with an Hellsing leading the way.
Revertromances shipyards are once again under deadline, to fill an Whittier Naval order.

Whitter take THESE stats their the right set if you compare them to the original set your see an difference. Regardless i basically used his frame and worked around it and the guns
His order of 20!!!!!! Is nearly the intire output of the Revertromance National Dockyards but thanks to the completion of Guadaloupes Commerical Center,
this oreder could now be met in the 4 years time it takes to build simply one of the Hellsing BBs
(Im building 10 at Guadaloupe's new shipyards, at the same time. And another 10 on Martnique's)
Opon completion these 20 craft (the only 20 in exisistence besides mine) they will be sent to your Carribean nations capital, from there you may do what ever you want them.
Total payment for 20 Hellsing Class BBs= 120 Billion
LOL, this thing is a joke!
I have been designing ships for NS for well over a year and this thing is just far out.
A couple of things:
-Way too much difference between standard and full loads.
- Way Too Light
- 18 18" guns is way out of the question
- Submerged torpedo tubes just result in a hole in the hull
- Beam's way too low; one salve and you can kiss this goodbye.
- With all that armour, you'll barely go anywhere, I guarantee it. And if you've got 22in turret faceplates, then you can forget having any stability at all on a beam of 135 feet.
- With 5 screws you'll get massive canal effect. Anyway, it makes control minus rudders hard.
- Not sure just how you manage to get a ship with that much plating to move with 300,000 SHP, let alone move at 32 knots. That's assuming it hasn't capsized anyway.
- Why the hell there's a catapult is beyond me. Tip: The seaplane's day is over.
- Where the hell are you going to put twenthy-eight 8in?!
- I trust with all those turrets one will atleast be superfiring? Uh-oh, capsized again.
- Why the hell are you using the quad 40mm? That was last seen in WWII?

hey the q-shiped worked and thats all i really know so im basicing the the small 5 inch on those designs, as far as poping up/ hydrolic, storing ammo/im not a warship i only need to store a couple (20 rounds) in the tower, recoil/ its the same as on a warship

i belive the Q-Ship was a british anti- german sub ship. It wasn't german, it was british. Get your facts straight.
Also, the only reason those damn weak ships worked is because german subs surfaced after they hit the vessel, either to board and loot, or to simply finish off with surface gun. Usintg these against your "Pirates" won't do you any good since they appear to attack ships automatically. No sense hiding the damn gun then!

Daily report to Kopparbergs High Command from the fronts at Cyprus:
We have been very successful with the campaign in Cyprus. Thanks to the attacks made by Doomingsland, the Cypriote Air Force is heavily reduced. We have met very little resistance in the air, so the bombings of the Cypriote bases has been done by the book.
Both of the airports (Nicosia and Larnaca) were captured after only two days of fighting. We have already received reinforcement troops from Algeria to the airports.
The northern front has reached the city limits of Nicosia, and the capital will be entered later today. The peninsula to the northeast is fully controlled by our troops, and a camp is set up outside the village of Rizocarpaso.

"Exactly what I'm saying. We don't need Ecuador. Our interest is not in the Pacific area, and that tiny little country only cost us a lot of money to maintain. The taxes collected there does not cover the maintain cost. I'm going to sell that country to someone." said the king.
"Oh, boy. What should we do with the people living there?"
"They can move to Argentina or stay there, it's up to them. Put that country up for sale now!"
"OK, will do..."
Secret Communication to Kopparbergs
Dear Sirs:
It is our understanding that you are desirous of ridding yourself of the headache of governance in Ecuador. We are willing to assist you in this effort and would be willing to offer you the sum of $600 billion to assist you in your efforts and the relocation of citizens who wish to leave. We can also assure any of your citizens that desire to stay that they will be afforded the full rights and protections of a citizen of Mauiwowee once we take over.
Sincerely,

In Light of this event, the Noble Nation of Vineyard would like to purchace the country of Equador. We have been looking to expand our empire by peaceful means and this seems like a great oppurtunity. Therefore, we would too like to bid 600 billion and offer exclusive oil contracts with the kingdom of koppersbergs as a bonus.

"Sire, Kopparsberg is offering to sell the control of Ecuador."
"What? He's selling it?"
"Yes Sire, and I advise we make an offer. The ability to expand our holdings out of Peru into Ecuador without war is an opportunity we should not pass up."
"Who are we likely to be bidding against?"
"Mauiwowee is likely to bid so as to get access to the Pacific from South America. Vineyard has apparantly made an offer as well."
"Hmm, money we can offer, but would sweeten the deal I wonder - some kind of bonus. Kopparsberg already has an outstanding oil and gas deal with us through S.H.I.T."
"How about a military base?"
"That's a good idea, I wonder what else we can through in there though? I got it, an exclusive agricultural contract for products out of North America - We've got wheat, corn, cotton, soybeans and rice aplenty their - we can supply him with food for his citizens and livestock as well as cotton for his textile industry on top of the oil and gas he already gets and a military base."
"I like it sir, we need to make an offer he can't refuse money wise though, we don't want to get out bid."
"Agreed, how about a trillion dollars, that's probably more than its worth and it will take a while to recoup our investment, but I think it would good in the long run."
"I like it sire."
::: turning to keyboard :::
To the Eminent ruler of Kopparsberg:
Dear sir:
We note your offer to sell Ecuador with great interest, as the holders of Peru, a neighboring state, we take very seriously the idea of who will control Ecuador. We were quite pleased with your governance of the area, but understand your desire to pull out at this time. We are therefore willing to offer you the sum of $1 Trillion for Ecuador. We will also permit you to maintain a military base there if you so desire. As an added bonus, we are willing to negotiate significant trade deals for agricultural products we produce in North America such as wheat, corn, soybeans, rice, cotton, etc. on top of our already favorable oil and gas deal arranged through S.H.I.T.
If the offer is of interest to you, please let us know and we'll send a team to discuss terms of the agricultural deal and make arrangements for the immediate transfer of the funds.

People in Warta Endor have reacted happily at the news of the reforms of the government. At the news of the retreat from Africa the public reacted like this:
"Have you heared about the retreat from Africa?"
"Yeah, and I'm damn well happy about it. It cost us more than it produced."
"Warta Endor retreats from Africa, do you have everything to say about it?"
"Well, its the end of a "colonial" empire, but it cost a lot, more than it produced."
"Excuse me, may I ask you a question?"
"Wat? Ik begrijp je niet! Wat? Ahhh, flikker op:P"
"Euh, I'm sorry."
With us in the studio is Gen. Bustestas of the Staff. General, do you have anything to say?
"Well, as quite a few already said, Warta Endorean Africa cost more than it produced. We already had a short war with Kopparbergs over it, and devolopment of the region wasn't going according the plan."
Will this be the end of Warta Endorean imperialist desires?
"Well, that depends on who wins the elections."
Yes, as in other news, so far four parties have entered the run for president. The Communist Party of Warta Endor, The Socialist of Warta Endor, Liberals United and the Imperialist party. More news will come after the break...

The new government had failed to reach export quotas the last 2 years and it our turn to step in again. Obivously these peopel can't govern themselves, so Revertromance will do it for them
5,000 Troops landed on the beach and started towards the capital, NO resistance since the African nation is now used to Revertromance government (from the Aid missions) and egerly awaits it's annexation as an Revertromance state.

Dear sirs:
We note the restructuring of your government and the withdrawal of your forces from Africa and the end of hostilities with Doomingsland and Kopparbergs with a touch of both sorrow and approval. In order to lessen the blow to your people in terms of lost territory and land for expansion, if you would grant full and complete ownership to us of the Halmahera Island grouping as per the map below, we would be willing to forego any and all claims to the remainder of Indonesia. We have troops in Borneo and other of the islands, but will withdraw them upon the arrival of your troops in the area. Also, as a friend and ally, we would be more than willing to permit you to establish a military base in the Halmahera Island group to ensure that your ability to control Indonesia in it's entirety is secured. We merely wish to establish this island as an extension of Mauiwowee. If this arrangement is satisfactory to you, please let us know so that we might prepare our troops to withdraw upon your arrival in the area.
Sincerely,
His Royal Highness,
King 'Lude II

OOC: I've got more to do, but I'm tired and need to do some RL shit. Here's a preview though of things to come. I'll get back to Robert tommorrow.
Steve
Steve was the "ace-in-the-hole," the trump card, the guarantee of success for General Sun, or so General Sun believed. Steve (his given name was Steven, but he preferred "Steve") had grown up in Brisbane, in sight of one of W.M.D., Inc.'s largest factories. At age 16 he had gotten a job there as an errand boy. Somehow he had come to the attention of General Ripper, who had a keen eye for military talent, and upon his mandatory enlistment into Mauiwowee's military, had immediately been offered special services training. Being unsure what he wanted to do with his life, Steve had accepted and found that he was well suited to special ops. He had decided to make the military his career. It couldn't hurt, he had thought, plus, who knew what benefits could come his way with General Ripper on his side.
*************************************************************
Steve was 6'0" tall. A blonde, blue-eyed surfer. He was strong, but not burley or "Samoan built" as he liked to call it. He held black belts in Krav Magna, Kung Fu and Karate. He had obtained a degree in mechanical engineering, with a specialty in weapons design and knew everything there was to know about personal and small arms, from trigger pull stats in terms of pounds-per-square-inch on a "Saturday Night Special" to rate of fire on a Thompson Sub-Machine Gun to electronic fire control requirements for case-less ammo in a Mauiwoweean produced .40 S&W caliber machine-pistol. He was fluent in Russian, German, English, French and Spanish. His idea of fun was to strip down, to their bare component pieces, 5 or 6 different types of guns, mix all the pieces up in a box and then see how fast he could rebuild them all. Kind of like mixing the pieces for 3 or 4 jigsaw puzzles up with each other and then putting each puzzle together by drawing pieces at random from the pile. Steve had a weakness though, a weakness that had not gone unnoticed by important people; money and women. Steve ran through them both the way chili runs through the intestines of a person with dysentary. He had been known to blow an entire month's pay in one night with a high priced call girl or max out his credit cards on the latest technological toys. It was this weakness that General Sun had thought to exploit.
*************************************************************
Steve remembered that night on Christmas Island's beach well. They had come ashore, the spotlights came on, people began firing at them. Here, though, his memory diverged from his comrades. He remembered being cut off from the boats by other troops. He remembered the surrender of the unit to their captors. He remembered everyone being bound and "escorted" (or in the case of Robert, Paul and Bobby, being carried after being knocked out) to waiting Hummers and being transported to a hospital: A hospital that went as far beneath the ground as its floors rose above it. He remembered, he remembered it all. The conversations with General Sun, the promise of money and all the women he could ever hope to bed. He knew where the white room was. He had watched his unit get injected with various psychotropic and hypnotic drugs. He had observed them being given hypnotic trainings and suggestions. He knew what had happened to his unit, he had participated. He had winced when Paul and Toshes were killed. He had smiled at the strangulation of the old lady. He had enjoyed the way Daniel's attempted escape had befuddled the doctors and scientists who were running the biological computer program for General Sun. He knew everything, and more.

Pirates attack Mercant shipping off Uruguay
An unescorted group of ships carrying computer processing parts to Martinque was shot at instantly and an boat was sited at bearing (may have got it mixed with mark not sure let it slide) 35. The 5 inch was now installed on all mercant vessels and it was immedaitely uncovered. The pirate ship was surprised but kept speeding towards the convoy.
"Smoke that bicth!", Captain
BOOM
The 5 inch shell landed nowere near the pirate ship but splashed a bit of water on the engaging pirates. Still engaging the pirates let loose another round that smashed into the side of the boat, this time the sailors reached for the new machine guns and let loose a couple rounds (noneffiective) The pirates fired another round (now at 200 meters) which speed past the tower of the ship and landed safely behind the convoy.
Out of weapons and ideas the 5 inch fired again, and yet again missed. More machine fire but this was met by an enemy shell landing right in the middle of the deck killing a few.
Now on fire the ship feel prey to the pirates while the remaining ships (full speed) had started speeding away, towards Martinque.
The pirates boarded the enemy vessel and had nothing to do with the remaining crew (20), they were thrown overboard and started swimming when
PIN PING PING
They were shot in the water with the on-deck machine guns
Fully retreating the other remaining vessels let loose a couple shots but only one actually hit the fast moving pirate boat, blowing an hole in the side and ending the chase. However that damn vessel did not sink.
An intire ship worth of Pentium 4 3.4 ghz processors, heatsink/fans and etc. other computer technology were lost to pirate activity, total amount lost: millions
Two days later the remaining ships from the convoy entered harbor and told government officals of their encounters with the bandits, they seem to be the same "group" from the last attacks
(OOC: there guys; even though they're an 5 inch on the ship, in rolling seas, hitting an fast moving target is near impossible for an il-train crew

"Okay, I thought that we should have at least ten bids, ha ha!" replied the king. He was in a very good mode today. "Tell me more!"
"First we have a bid from Mauiwowee. They offer us $600 billion and assistance with relocation of the citizens who wants to move to Argentina."
"Hmm… okay, and next?"
"Well… I don't know if I should take this for serious, but Vineyard has made a bid." said Stålhandske with a low voice.
"Why are you whispering? Tell me the bid."
"Okay, they too are ready to pay $600 billion. And a exclusive oil contract as a bonus."
"Hmm… sounds interesting. And what's the third bid?"
"It's Norleans, the southern neighbor to Ecuad…" The king interrupted Stålhandske.
"Don't tell me who our neighbors are! Do you think I'm a fool? Of course I know who my neighbors are!! Now, continue, how much will they pay for Ecuador?" said Carl Oscar with a fast hard voice. The good mode was gone.
"I'm sorry sir. They are willing to pay us $1 trillion for Ecuador. And we can have a military base in Ecuador if we want to. As a bonus we can have very good delivery contracts on agricultural products from Norleans holdings in North America. I recommend you to take this bid, sir. It's very good, and we get a lot of money, more than I expected."
"I have to think about this. As I see now Mauiwowee won't get Ecuador. It may be either Vineyard or Norleans."
"Okay, but why are you considering Vineyard's offer? Norleans' bid is much better, sir." Stålhandske was trying to understand the king, which was not an easy thing to do sometimes.
"You said it yourself, a good oil contract. And I have another thing in my pocket. I may want to sell this to Vineyard out of other reasons that you're not aware of. Let me know immediately if we get another bid on Ecuador, otherwise I will let you know my decision later today."
"Okay, thank you sir." said Stålhandske and leaved the room.

Cyprus
Daily report to Kopparbergs High Command from the fronts at Cyprus:
General, I'm very pleased to tell you that we now control everything to the north and to the east of Nicosia. We don't have the city in our hands yet, but I expect it to fall in one or two days.
We have had bigger losses today. Due to a counter strike we lost 18 Apaches in a missile attack. We didn't expect them to attack the camp outside the airport in Larnaca. We have raised the defense around both airports now, and we have placed five Patriot PAC-3 systems around each airport. In the attack we lost 180 men too.
As we now control the whole northern area, I suggest that we continue with the next phase in about three days.

*** Press Release ***
Today the nation of Norleans announced the consolidation of all state run oil and gas companies under the new name of "Norleans Offshore Oil & Gas Exploration and Extraction Systems, Inc. (NOOGEES, Inc.). This merger brings together the 2 most powerful oil producing regions in the southern portion of North America and encompasses the bulk of all offshore oil production in the Gulf of Mexico as well as the extensive oil fields of Texas and Oklahoma. The complete merger of their respective production will result in a company that is pumping approximately 5,533,260 barrels of oil per day and an estimated 24,657,840,000 cubic feet of natural gas per day. With substantial reserves still to be tapped, NOOGEES stands to be one of the most powerful corporations on Earth V to date. Luckily for Earth V, Norleans is ruled by democratic methods and is generally friendly to the free world. With estimated net profits of $25,663,698,672.00/year from its oil production alone (estimates on natural gas production profits were not available at the time of the report), the impact on the economies of the Southern Half of the North American Continent, Norleans and their S.H.I.T. allies cannot be underestimated. Norleans has announed its intent to offer stock in the company and is currently selling crude for $40.00/barrel on the open market and at a reduced price to her S.H.I.T. allies. Since the company is state run and owned and can hence avoid significant taxes and government restriction, epxert analysts estimate the company has a 31% net profit margin making it an outstanding investment opportunity when its IPO is announced in the near future.
To celebrate the launch of the new company, Duke Huey P. Long, III of Norleans announced today a one time gift of an entire day's production of oil to each and every member of S.H.I.T., and announced an offer extending a seat on the board of directors to it's closest geographic allies, Kopparbergs, Sharina, Lachenburg and Fodmodmadtol, was in the works.
President Rand Veristek read the latest international news on his flat screen display on his maghony table in his office at a undisclosed location. He smiled when he read an article.
Ecuador. Excellent.
Rand put in several commands, and a display came up presenting Sharina's current budget and surplus. Rand nodded as he read it, apparently satisfied with the numbers.
He opened his communications program, and began talking into the microphone to create his message to the nation of Kopparbergs.
This device is a wonder. I'm quite glad I had it installed.
After an indeterminate period of time, the message was completed. Rand took a deep breath, and began inputting commands to begin the process of sending the message to Kopparbergs.
================================
To the esteemed leaders of Kopparbergs,
Greetings, friends. It has come to my attention that you are selling Ecuador, and holding an auction for it. If it is not too late for Sharina to bid, then I would like to add Sharina's bid on Ecaudor, along with some additional incentives.
Here is the starting bid I would like to put up for Ecaudor, along with incentives.
Bid:
$2.5 trillion dollars.
Incentives:
1. Half price on oil exports from Alaska, Yukon, and Nunavut.
2. Kopparsbergs will not be required to pay any fees to travel the planned Guatemala Canal.
3. Supplies and food will be delivered to your campaign in the Mediterrean Sea.
4. Sharina will contribute its construction machinery, engineers, and personnel to rebuild Cyprus and other newly conquered lands of Kopparsbergs.
5. Sharina will pledge aid in future conflicts to Kopparsbergs.
I believe that this would be quite beneficial to our two nations, as well as bringing all of us closer together. In these troubled times, friendship is worth more than its weight in gold, as the adage "United we stand, divided we fall" rings true.
I shall await your response regarding this.
Live well and prosper,
President Rand Veristek

Stop funding the communist party. Although we do not oppose your actions, we strongly reccommend against it.

Another communist party in Warta Endor will prove us wrong. 440 billion dollars? Fine, we will pledge our years extra money to them ($676,492,462,800.00).

HBS Hurricane started going into the deep lagoon and about half an hour into the water the boats were sighted!
An full broadside was fired and blew 2 pirate craft clear out of the water, an direct hit of the docks. 8 inches, fired on the remaining boats. Since they were in the lagoon with Hurricane blocking the only way out, the pirates were trapped.
Hurricane continued further a few more yards It let another broadside loose on the docks, now on fire and half gone. Pirates were rushing towards the remaining boats (10), but after an missle salvo by the Hurricane 2 more boats were blown apart.
The attack happened so quickly the pirates had no time to ge to thier battle stations, they were getting slaugtered.
Two pirate boats fired their small 5 inch cannons into the side of the Hurricane, but with an 24 inch thick armor belt, it did nothing more than shake the ship and injure an gunner stationed 2 decks above the blasts.
The Hurricane continued to let loose on the pirates with the large naval guns, an third broadside let into the "base" and anything that was left, is gone. The docks are on fire and only 5 boats remain
The pirates are surrendering and begging for mercy; but the order was to destroy ALL enemy forces. However, the government of Revertromance (conservative) would never stand for an mass murder.
The quick 10 minute naval battle was an victory for the HMS Hurricane proving it could be effective in battle despite its large girth, and also proved to the Revertromance Milatary, the ships abilities.
ALL surrendering pirates were put on board the Hurricane (to be transported to Martinique) However the boats could not simply be left. The boats were dicthed at the mouth of the lagoon and sunk so that the ships could not be recaptured by returning bandits.
The crew of the Hurricane started back to Martinque (a two day journey from south Mexico)

Greetings! We have heard from our agents that Doomingsland plans to aid his ally Wirraway in the defence of his country. To make war on Wirraway is to make war on Doomingsland, so we are offering our help. Doomingsland, (in our opinion an upright bitch) has always been at odds with our nation. We therefore offer you bases in our territories to help you launch attacks against the Italian peninsula. Logistics will be provided. We will also offer 1 million men as 'mercinaries" that could be rented out for one dollar a day(as in the whole army for a dollar a day!). We will provide logistics for our "Mercinaries" This way, we can help you without auctually declaring war or officially engaging our forces. Instead, a Vineyardian will act as an army of mercinaries to help you. If you would like help, of course.

The Duke sat down with the reports. He had been pretty much ignoring them due to concern for his wife at the peace conference in Tehran. He had finally received word from Whittier- though that the Duchess Firebhrand Long was secure, with her security detail, in a safe house. Knowing that, for the time being anyway, the Duchess was in no danger, he turned his attention to other matters.
Hmm, "no reply to our bid for Ecuador, I wonder who else is bidding and whether we should increase our bid or sweeten the pot a little." He thought. Picking up his phone he called his minister of foreign affairs, Lord Birmingham of Alabama - "Lord Birmingham, good to hear your voice." the Duke said. "Look, do we have any idea who is bidding against us for Ecuador?"
"No sire, we don't. Rumors are that Sharina and Vineyard might. We can be sure Mauiwowee has though. Fodmodmadtol might be in there as well, but we can't say for sure who has bid, or how much they may have bid if they did."
"What? Vineyard may have a bid in?"
"Yes sire, they may I stress the word "may" though. We can't be certain."
"Damn, if we lose to Sharina, Fodmodmadtol or Mauiwowee, I'm not too concerned, but Vineyard, here, in our hemisphere, that is unnaceptable. Surely Kopparsberg wouldn't sell to them."
"I don't know sire, they have a lot of oil, if he sweetened his deal with some sort of oil deal, we might be in trouble. They get a good price because of S.H.I.T. but Vineyard could undercut that as part of a deal that Kopparsberg found attractive."
"Fuck! I can't go for that. Communicate to Kopparsberg, we wish to raise our bid to $2 Trillion and in addition to our previous offer regarding agricultrural products, we'll offer to sell them oil at a discount of 5% below cost per barrel for the next 5 years and promise them a seat on the Board of Directors for NOOGEES. Oh, and while you're at it, since it is possible Sharina is bidding as well, as a gesture of good faith, send them a copy of our previous bid and this new bid with a message telling them we did not want them to think we were doing something behind their back since they are such a great ally, and so forth and so on, you know, the standard "lets be best buddies and tell each other our deepest secrets" type routine.
"Yes sire, and, btw, I think it's a smart move."
They then hung up the phone.

"Okay, Ã…ke, have we got any more bids on Ecuador?" said the king Carl Oscar V
"Yes, we have a couple. Sharina has sent us a very nice message. In short it reads like this: We get $2.5 trillion dollars, half price on oil from their northern territories and free passage through the planned Guatemala Canal. Plus, and this is great I think, they…" here Stålhandske was interrupted by the king.
"I haven't asked what you think, I just want to know what they're offering. Now, continue"
"Okay, I'm sorry sir. They will deliver supplies and food to our campaign in the Mediterranean, and they will help us to rebuild Cyprus and other newly conquered lands. And to the last, they will pledge aid in future conflicts."
"Hmm… Yes that's interesting. Does we have more bids?"
"No more bidders. But Norleans has sent an upgrade of their bid. They have raised the price to $2 trillion, and added a great deal on oil with a discount of 5% below cost. And a seat in the board of directors in their large oil company."
"This is hard. It seems to me that Vineyard's offer is to low. I wanted to sell this to them, as I wanted to make a great deal regarding another issue... But they may be interested in one of the
provinces in Argentina that I'm also going to sell. We have to look at that later. Okay, tell Sharina that they can have Ecuador, but ask them to pay $2.8 trillion."
"Yes, I'll send them a message right away. When will the handover take place?"
"As soon as possible. I'm going to order all of our military in Argentina to move out today, I need the troops in other places right away. Make a good deal with Sharina"
"Yes, will do that."

We have the pleasure to inform you that we are willing to

Pirate Peace Talks In Martinique
After the recent battles between the pirates and Revertromance Navy, an encripted messege was sent to Revertromances government from the pirate "homeland" in southern Mexico. (The mexicans are not all priates. They're just an large group of bandits in mexico, for these past RPs)
It read:
After the Massacure in Lurs Ares (i made it up :p ) Lagoon, We would like to end hostilities towards our two parties. We will end ALL hostilities between pirates and merchant shipping in the Carribean Area between Revertromance
"Send this is return", shouts the genral
Fine, but if you so much as point one more gun at ANY S.H.I.T member; we have missles and we will fine you. But if you truly stop raiding mercant shipping in the carribean, We will stop sending your boats to the bottom (total sunk after pirate hunting campiagn = 58)
END
"So, now were having peace peace talks with these terrorists, i think we should continue to hunt these bandits down.", says milatary advisor
"Yes, but if they stop raiding ships, than their not pirates.....that means they arn't doing anything illegal. That we know about atleast. Besides, half of the active pirates in the carribean are too scared to leave their docks. We've scared these vermon into submession, and succesfully ended mercant raiding.
That is if they except ofcourse, and considering we're threatning them with the might of our Navy i think they will accept our proposition (chuckle)", genral
2 days later an simple messege is recieved from the bandits:
We accept
OOC: peace between global powers and freely roaming pirates has emerged for the most part, but if this war breaks out this could trigger more pirate resistance. They would see it as an "chance" to make a quick buck with all that war material moving through the waters of the world.

Price $1.85 billion, U.S.D.
General Information: The "Sub Jet" (patent pending) silent propulsion system developed by W.M.D., Inc. is a quantum leap forward in silent propulsion for submarines. To describe it in general terms:
traditional submarines are propelled by a propeller/screw that is sits externally from the hull of the submarine itself and spins around a shaft which is connected to a turbine which spins due to steam generated by the closed water system of the nuclear engine. However, the "sub jet" removes this external mechanism that creates sound in the water that other subs and sophisticated sonar systems can track. It does this by using a turbine, similar to a jet's turbine, which is mounted internally in a sound proofed central section of the submarine's interior. Water is forced through the tubine (just like air is forced through a jet engine's turbine) into an enclosed chamber where it is placed under pressure (again, just like air in a jet engine). There, it is (for all practical purposes) instantly superheated by the nuclear engine (like the air in a jet engine is heated by the explosion of the gasoline it mixes with which is sparked in the combustion chamber of a jet). The pressure is relieved by a rear opening aft of the pressure chamber, but still inside the submarine which the water "squirts" out of (just like the explosive gases "squirt" out the rear of a jet engine) to provide forward thrust. Instead of a screw with 4, 6 or 8 blades spinning in the water that surrounds the sub. and pushing the the sub. forward and creating noise sonar can track, you have a turbine with 110 "blades" sitting inside the submarine which is pushed forward by the force created when heated water under pressure is released through the aft "blow hole" (as W.M.D. engineers have come to describe the water's ejection point from the turbine's compartment). Note, the water is NOT heating to boiling as the release of steam would create turbulence that was as easily tracked as convential subs. A second opening at the aft of the submarine also acts to provide additional thrust as water is ejected from it. Secondly, since the primary source propulsion actually occurs INSIDE the submarine, by the time the water is ejected from the aft "blowhole," turbulence from the turbine has been reduced to almost nill. At maximum attack speed the sub is as easily tracked as any other sub. However, at normal cruising speed of 12-14 knots and a depth of 300 feet, the sub is all but completely undectable.

Air pilots are honing their skills on similators. The nation is set for war.
((OOC: OMG that Bud II sub is outragous.
First off How could a sub magically get rid of it cruise missile cells and put more torpedos in? Or just magically take out torpedos and add missile space? It doesn't work out.
And the propulsion system is bogus. Even if it did work, you would leave a very long trail of hot water behind you that subs could easily track. And even though the turbulance takes place inside the sub, you cannot muffle to sound like it says. Water is a great conductor of sound and the sounds would simply follow the tube out of the sub and into the open seas.
And lastly, price. For that price this sub would have to carry 1/4 the equipment is soposedly has and be 1/2 the size

We therefore offer you bases in our territories to help you launch attacks against the Italian peninsula. Logistics will be provided. We will also offer 1 million men as 'mercinaries" that could be rented out for one dollar a day(as in the whole army for a dollar a day!). We will provide logistics for our "Mercinaries" This way, we can help you without auctually declaring war or officially engaging our forces. Instead, a Vineyardian will act as an army of mercinaries to help you. If you would like help, of course.
We are entering talks with our allies of joining the war on You and jonothana's side. Have hope, i believe that we will join.

A tall thin man walks up to the podium in the press room of the Celackian parliment. He turnes to face the camera. His beard brushes up against the microphone as he puts on his glass. He begins to speak in a commanding voice.
"Today our allies in NATO, Sharina, and Jonothana, are, at this moment, in danger of being engulfed in war. We support them fully in the seemingly inevitable war. We pledge military aid, oil at lowered price, free-run of the Suez canal and supplies to our allies in this endevour.
Already, troops have been sent from mainland Celack to Egypt to prepare defenses. As we speak close to 3 million men have been commited to the defense of the border with Libya and several ships patrol the meditarnian sea to the north of Egypt.
To the enemies of our allies, you are now enemies of Celack. Surrender now. If you even try to invade our land we will come down on you like several tons of bricks. We wish for peace talks to start before this war.
To the Celackian people, this is our duty. Our allies are under attack. We must help defend them. That has always been Celackian policy. It has been such for over five thousand years. We must do our duty. Some of you may not understand why, but do not despare, we shall be victorius. We are Celackian. We have never failed.

General H.C. Ragnes watched as the engineers built another bunker in the sand. Just 10KM away was the enemy land. His job at the moment was to make sure that the border was defended against the inevitable wave of troops that would attack.
He turned his gaze skyward as the jets screamed overhead, on patrol. The patrol would consist of three planes leaving every half-an-hour out of one of five airbases. Each flight would go one fifth of the border and turn around and fly back along the border. The theory being that if the jet's spotted something moving in on the ground, they could report it in and then have enough fuel to slow down the enemy until re-inforcements arrived which would likely be more jets and attack helicopters.. It was a good plan, in theory. The main problem was the maintence of the jets and helicopters. The sand got everywhere and it was causing a headache for the mechanics.
He turned his attention back to the builders. They were screwing in a fixed chain-gun on the buker window lip. The bunkers were made from reinforced concrete and hidden in sand dunes to make it less easy to see. Unfortunatly it got in the eyes of the soldiers in the bunker too and it wasn't as effective as a cave, but it would have to do.
The main headache for the general was the tanks. Few were made for desert climate and those who weren't would barely work. They were mainly being used as a sort of artillery and well armed bunkers. The general sighed. The defense was shitty at the moment but everyday they spent out here made it a little it better.

::: Secret Transmission to RevertRomance :::
We are refunding your over payment of $1.85 Billion. At 1/2 off, the cost to you is $1.85 Billion total for two subs. The first will be delivered within the next 30 NS days and the second within another 60 (OOC: so basically you'll have both by this evening). Please note the cost does not include missiles, torpedoes, etc. you have to arm them yourselves. Also note that switching out between torpedoes and cruise missiles involves re-configuring launch areas and it is suggested you establish a sub as capable of either/or and leave it at that since re-configuration of launch areas is not a simple matter.
OOC: Actually, it is not all that far "out there" with current sub technology with the exception of "charged hull" idea (which I got from the movie 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea). Development cost for the sub was close to $100 Billion, but once developed and the factories tooled for production, build cost makes it profitable to sell at the $1.85 Billion mark.

OOC:
1. Please note my reply to RevertRomance, it's an either/or situation there is no "magic" involved. You either configure the sub for cruise missiles or for torpedos. If you want to change out, you must take the sub through a lengthy re-fit.
2. The sub is sold without any missiles, torpedoes, etc. The only weapons that come with the sub for the $1.85 billion price are the two deck mounted guns. I agree that "fully loaded" the cost would be significantly higher.
3. As to detection and the hot water stream, the stream would not be all that long due to the volume of cold water around it that would cause it to disipate rapidly. Also, I never claimed it was undetectable by thermal imaging technology at all, my claims were related to echo-location sonar. The hot water issue and the use of thermal imaging technology is a weakness that could be exploited and is acknowledged by me.
4. Sound dampening technology could reduce the sound of an internal turbine to "undetectable" levels at lower speeds. You'll note I said it was "virtually undectable" at depths of 300 feet or below and when traveling at 12 knots or below. At higher speeds its becomes detectable and at max speed of 27 knots or so is easily spotted by standard sonar because of the turbulence created as the water is ejected from the aft portion of the sub.
5. The propulsion system would work and similar systems have actually been considered. I cleared this with one of the engineering professors at the college where I teach. Same with the sound dampening. The problem is that there comes a "break even" point where the sound damping will do no good and that is proportional to how fast the turbine is spinning and how much turbulence it is creating. The faster the spin, the more turbulence and the less capabable sound dampening will be. Therefore, the faster the sub is traveling the more likely it is to be detectable. I placed that point at the 12 knots area.
All of these considerations have been taken into account quite some time ago when I first put this sub out there before Earth V. The sub's greatest advantage is it's speed capabilities in attack mode. It is vulnerable to tracking with thermal imaging technology at any speed and easily tracked with standard sonar at speeds above 12 knots or so. It can be configured to use the weapons described, but, as you note, some of them must be an either/or proposition, you can't have them all at the same time.

"Okay, Ã…ke, have we got any more bids on Ecuador?" said the king Carl Oscar V
"Yes, we have a couple. Sharina has sent us a very nice message. In short it reads like this: We get $2.5 trillion dollars, half price on oil from their northern territories and free passage through the planned Guatemala Canal. Plus, and this is great I think, they…" here Stålhandske was interrupted by the king.
"I haven't asked what you think, I just want to know what they're offering. Now, continue"
"Okay, I'm sorry sir. They will deliver supplies and food to our campaign in the Mediterranean, and they will help us to rebuild Cyprus and other newly conquered lands. And to the last, they will pledge aid in future conflicts."
"Hmm… Yes that's interesting. Does we have more bids?"
"No more bidders. But Norleans has sent an upgrade of their bid. They have raised the price to $2 trillion, and added a great deal on oil with a discount of 5% below cost. And a seat in the board of directors in their large oil company."
"This is hard. It seems to me that Vineyard's offer is to low. I wanted to sell this to them, as I wanted to make a great deal regarding another issue... But they may be interested in one of the
provinces in Argentina that I'm also going to sell. We have to look at that later. Okay, tell Sharina that they can have Ecuador, but ask them to pay $2.8 trillion."
"Yes, I'll send them a message right away. When will the handover take place?"
"As soon as possible. I'm going to order all of our military in Argentina to move out today, I need the troops in other places right away. Make a good deal with Sharina"
"Yes, will do that."
Message to Rand Veristek, Sharina
We have the pleasure to inform you that we are willing to
sell Ecuador to Sharina. We agree to the terms in your bid,
but we want you to raise the amount to $2.8 trillion dollars.
If you agree to this, you can take over Ecuador when you
want to. We are calling out all of our military forces this
week. The local government will stay there until you have
replaced everybody with your own personnel.

(Åke Stålhandske, Secretary of Foreign Affairs)
Rand smiled as he read King Carl Oscar's message. He began developing a response immediately, and within ten minutes, it was sent, along with a monetary transmission.
============================
Greetings, my friend King Carl Oscar V,
I am glad to hear that you have accepted my bid. It shall usher into a new age of prosperity for both our peoples.
I am sending not 2.8 trillion dollars, but instead, I am sending 3 trillion dollars as a gesture of friendship and goodwill. In addition, my other incentives shall take effect immediately.
I shall send two full carrier groups from the Sharina Pacific Navy to Ecaudor, along with five divisions of Army, and two divisions of the Air Force to help secure Ecauador, as well as putting down any riots until proper police forces can be trained.
The governmental officials, the Air Force, and the marines will arrive within two days, while the rest shall arrive by the end of the week.
I look forward to having more dealings, relationships, trade, and more solid friendship with your nation.
Live well and prosper,
President Rand Veristek

We would gladly take up for offer of 1 million "mercinaries." They could be quite useful in the upcomming war. We hope you are our nations can gain stronger ties through warfare and diplomacy.

--Secrect telegram to Jonothana, Sharina, and Vineyard--
Friends, it appears the warfare is upon us. I fear that it is inevitable. This is why USSNA is proposing that the following nations enter in a secret alliance: the Global Defense Initiative or G.D.I. (Gotta love C&C) Under this Alliance we will all protect the other in the event of an attack. You under no means must discount trade in between members as this isnt an economic alliance, but you are encouraged to do so.

It was announced later today that Sierra Leone, Sao Tome & Principe, and Equatorial Guinea are now under full control. The boarder between Sierra Leone and Guinea has been fortified also. Also annouced today, all military instilations are now under full alert
I like the sound of this GDI. I accept. But when anylizing them military situation, i can't help but notice that due to the fact that our combined territories are awfully wide spread. To minimise this disadvantage, we need a strong fleet. Currently, my naval fleet is 20 carrier fleets strong. I suggest that we merge out fleets under a single joint command to rule the seas and cut our enemy off from his other territories. The 1 million man army is ready to deploy to any location you wish them to deploy to USSNA. I think i will be draged into this war anyhow, so i pledge my full support!

I control nearly half of the whole North America. In addition, I project considerable power along the Pacific and Caribbean. With the latest addition of Ecaudor, my Pacific power can only increase. :)
I don't believe in holding lands hap-hazard all over the world, because it would be much harder to protect and defend aganist invasions or enemies.
Ecaudor is my first non-continuous territory, but it is pratically next to Mexico and Latin America which I have solid control over.
And this is quite a twist, me ending up on the same side as Vineyard. :p

How did this war start again?

We talk, you sleep.
"This just in. Prime Minister Tuesat of Celack has weighted in on the conflict that has engulfed the world. We go live to his press conference."
A tall thin man walks up to the podium in the press room of the Celackian parliment. He turnes to face the camera. His beard brushes up against the microphone as he puts on his glass. He begins to speak in a commanding voice.
"Today our allies in NATO, Sharina, and Jonothana, are, at this moment, in danger of being engulfed in war. We support them fully in the seemingly inevitable war. We pledge military aid, oil at lowered price, free-run of the Suez canal and supplies to our allies in this endevour.
Already, troops have been sent from mainland Celack to Egypt to prepare defenses. As we speak close to 3 million men have been commited to the defense of the border with Libya and several ships patrol the meditarnian sea to the north of Egypt.
To the enemies of our allies, you are now enemies of Celack. Surrender now. If you even try to invade our land we will come down on you like several tons of bricks. We wish for peace talks to start before this war.
To the Celackian people, this is our duty. Our allies are under attack. We must help defend them. That has always been Celackian policy. It has been such for over five thousand years. We must do our duty. Some of you may not understand why, but do not despare, we shall be victorius. We are Celackian. We have never failed.
I wish you all a good night and I hope that the next dawn brings new talks for peace."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
General H.C. Ragnes watched as the engineers built another bunker in the sand. Just 10KM away was the enemy land. His job at the moment was to make sure that the border was defended against the inevitable wave of troops that would attack.
He turned his gaze skyward as the jets screamed overhead, on patrol. The patrol would consist of three planes leaving every half-an-hour out of one of five airbases. Each flight would go one fifth of the border and turn around and fly back along the border. The theory being that if the jet's spotted something moving in on the ground, they could report it in and then have enough fuel to slow down the enemy until re-inforcements arrived which would likely be more jets and attack helicopters.. It was a good plan, in theory. The main problem was the maintence of the jets and helicopters. The sand got everywhere and it was causing a headache for the mechanics.
He turned his attention back to the builders. They were screwing in a fixed chain-gun on the buker window lip. The bunkers were made from reinforced concrete and hidden in sand dunes to make it less easy to see. Unfortunatly it got in the eyes of the soldiers in the bunker too and it wasn't as effective as a cave, but it would have to do.
The main headache for the general was the tanks. Few were made for desert climate and those who weren't would barely work. They were mainly being used as a sort of artillery and well armed bunkers. The general sighed. The defense was shitty at the moment but everyday they spent out here made it a little it better.
OOC:You had the sides right, except it's me instead of Dumpsterdam, and Kopparbergs is on our side, too. The war hasn't even started yet, but USSNA is starting to act all imperialistic towards Wirraway, and we had no intention of invasion. In otherwords, you're the agressors.

Stop funding the communist party. Although we do not oppose your actions, we strongly reccommend against it. We need an agressive nation in the FOAM alliance that will prove our accusations against FOAM. This will give our alliance a huge boost in its standings. Another communist party in Warta Endor will prove us wrong. 440 billion dollars? Fine, we will pledge our years extra money to them ($676,492,462,800.00). We could also gain an ally over in that country, therefore gaining influence in the region. My nation has always had friendly relations with them, so we would like this alliance. So please fund the Imperialist party.

Don't be a fool. Your father would have seen that by funding the communist party, we can strongly influence them after they gain power, even place our own puppet leaders in their state. Eventually, they will join the UFSR and we can use them for any purpose, be it aggressive or peaceful. We will have a large sphere of influence in the area. The imperialists are a bunch of right-winged lunatics who will not respect our authority. You have wasted quite a bit of money. Remember, we are "communists" in a sense.

Heh. World War, finally. :)
I went through NES Economy and compared stats of some of you Earth V guys to my nation.
I found out much to my surprise that I could give Tenebrocosis a run for his money with economy, military, etc. and he is 2x - 3x my population. I can also fight Doomingsland one on one, as my economy and military budgets are slightly bigger than his, yet I have 400 - 500 million less people than him.
I'm honestly surprised that I can actually fight nations much bigger than me and have a chance of holding my own. About damn time too. :D
OOC:
Remember, it was allowed by the Great Sixth Reich quite a while ago that when calculating my GDP, it should be added to that of DontPissUsOff, since we merged to form the UFSR. He is sort of in a state of "suspended animation," he gave me permission to RP for him and he agreed to become a Class I member of the UFSR, in which his territories and economy and population become part of Tenebricosis. If, at any time, he becomes interested in RPing in Earth V, he can secede from Tenebricosis and reclaim all his old territories.
Basically, my GDP is probably about twice what you think it is. That's why I, as well as you, are superpowers.
But I'm bigger, and in a war you would lose. Also, all nations of the UFSR, (that's Tenebricosis, Whittier, Vineyard, The Great Sixth Reich, and sort of DontPissUsOff) are required to support each other in a war. So don't think of attacking any of us any time soon.
If there's a world war, it'll be FOAM vs UFSR.

Hmm. Numbers may not always mean victory. The Greeks proved this aganist the Persians during Alexander The Great's campaigns.
In addition, defenders have a decided advantage over invaders, for quite a few reasons.
1. Logistics
2. Shorter distance to deploy troops / material.
3. More people are willing to support a defensive war as opposed to supporting an invasion.
4. Defenders know their terrain much better than the invaders.
5. Defenders can hide or spring surprises more successfully than invaders.
I can think of some more reasons.
Basically, if it was a 1 vs 1 war between Sharina and Tenebrocosis, it'd probably end up a 50 / 50 chance if Tenebrocosis invades, and perhaps a 40 / 60 chance in favor of Tenebrocosis if I invade him.
Also, successful use of tactics can allow 100 men to take out 200 men, or even 500 men if executed properly.

We are refunding your over payment of $1.85 Billion. At 1/2 off, the cost to you is $1.85 Billion total for two subs. The first will be delivered within the next 30 NS days and the second within another 60 (OOC: so basically you'll have both by this evening). Please note the cost does not include missiles, torpedoes, etc. you have to arm them yourselves. Also note that switching out between torpedoes and cruise missiles involves re-configuring launch areas and it is suggested you establish a sub as capable of either/or and leave it at that since re-configuration of launch areas is not a simple matter.
OOC: Actually, it is not all that far "out there" with current sub technology with the exception of "charged hull" idea (which I got from the movie 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea). Development cost for the sub was close to $100 Billion, but once developed and the factories tooled for production, build cost makes it profitable to sell at the $1.85 Billion mark.
Sincerely,
General Ripper.
OOC but still relevant to the IC: We're going to make one sub an mostly missle and other sub mostly torpedo ;since we're not gonna wait weeks to reconfigure

When they crossed the border, a huge thrust by 500,000 troops sezed the city of Francistown quickly and without incident. Only the capitol remains to be captured. 20,000 Botswanan troops were captured during the attack, and they have all dissappeared into captivity.

Kopparbergs High Command, Buenos Aires
There is a meeting going on. The subject is of course the uprising issue in Europe. There are only four people in this meeting as it's considered strictly confidential code red: the King Carl Oscar V, Carl Hamilton (Sec. of Defense), Åke Stålhandske (Sec. of Foreign Affairs) and the Supreme Commander.
"Okay, Ã…ke, update us on the situation. Who is defending who?" said the King.
"First we have Wirraway. He started the whole thing, and you all know how. He seems to only have one allied, Doomingsland. And as we are allied with Doomingsland I guess others would say that we're on their side.
Jonothana that was attacked, or sort of anyway, is a member of the military alliance NATO. As soon as other knew the incident, his allies began to scramble their military. USSNA, Sharina, Celack (who controls the Suez canal) and even Vineyard have stated that they will defend Jonothana. TGSR has allowed them to use his territory if necessary. That's were we stand now."
"Okay, thanks for the briefing Ã…ke. Remember me to promote you some other day. What do you think of this situation Hamilton?" said the King. He was very calm today, despite the serious issue.
"Well, together with Doomingsland and Wirraway, we have a lot of military power in the western Mediterranean. Look at this map." Hamilton showed a big map on the wall:
http://peter.korkala.se/kingdom/europe-war.jpg
"Wait, do you see how important Cyprus is to us?" said Carl Oscar.
We can draw benefits from this. How is it going with the campaign there?"
"It's almost done. In a week we will have complete control over Cyprus. I received a report today that stated that the capital Nicosia has fallen. It's only the southern 25% we don't have yet, but that's a deliberately fact. We haven't even tried to take it."
"Okay, that's good enough. I want you to order some ships, it's up to you and the Supreme Commander to decide which, to go to the south east Mediterranean. We must be ready to close that corner of the sea. If we do that, nobody can enter the sea by the Suez canal." The king thought he had a great idea...
"Hmm... but what about Celack?"
"Don't know, but I don't think he would be such a big problem..."
"Okay, I have to discuss this with the Supreme Commander" said Hamilton. "Then he should give the order to the concerned ships."
"Thanks guys. Meeting dismissed. I have some important things to take care of. I might call you to another meeting later today, so don't leave town. Ha ha." Carl Oscar thought he was very funny. None of them was allowed to leave Buenos Aires when there was a situation like this.

"Sir!"
"Yes, Lt. Gen, what is it?"
"Keep glancing at the map, i can't help but notice that our forces need to reposition for the comming war."
"What do you mean?"
" Well, we have 1 million troops invading Botswana. Another .5 million is stationed in Zambia. 6 (including one million auxillary) million in the Main lands. 1.5 mill. in Iraq, Kuwait, Oman and Saudi Arabia. 288,800 troops in Jamica, guarding the Ships being Built there."
"And?"
"We don't need .5 million in Afirca, no one is threatening us down there."
Lord Vineyard II strode over to the maps. he just glanced at the situation and knew what to do.
"Reinforce Celack. The Suez Canal is the key to defending Afirca. Send .5 million troops from the Hervatska Afriacin Army there to reinforce their positions."
"Yes, my lord. Gen. Bantu will be informed at once."
ooc: Jonothana, you asked why you are involved in all of this. Well, wirraway is attacking Switzerland, and you havn't said a thing. So far, 4 people are pledging aid (such as myself) to your cause, while Wirraway has got doomingsland who got koppersbergs on their side. This is a world war.
o.o.c. To get to the suez canal you'll have to get through my navy. But yeah there are troops there as well. I think I mentioned my fleet earlier.
OOC: Me and Doomingsland are going to utterly destroy anyone who attacks us, still waiting for Jonothana to respond so I massacre his troops.
Quite doubtful.
Lets see....
Wirraway's side:
Wirraway: 1,411,000,000.
Doomingsland: 1,397,000,000.
Kopparbergs: 908,00,000.
Total: 3,716,000,000.
Jonothana's side:
Jonothana: 1,457,000,000.
Sharina: 924,000,000.
Celack: 4,051,000,000.
Vineyard: 467,000,000.
Total: 6,889,000,000.
As you can see, Celack is bigger than the WHOLE "Wirraray Alliance", and the combined population of "Jonothana Alliance" is nearly DOUBLE of "Wirraray Alliance".
So, again, this....

Concordiat News Network
The over 800,00 men of the Wirrawyan 2nd and 3rd Armies continue to over run Switzerland in the glorious re-conquest. We are being told that heavy aerial bombardment has decimated the fixed postitions and fortifications that are the lynchpin of Swiss defenses. This is all possible because, as you all know, Switzerland was once part of the Concordiat. Apparently after our forced withdrawal detailed plans were kept of all defensive positions in the alps and the rest of the country. These plans have been utilized to great effect. Losses have been fairly high but well within acceptable ranges with about 7,000 killed and 11,000 wounded.
Wirrawayan forces have breached the outskirts of Geneva and are moving rapidly through the lowlands. Forces form the south are in the process of taking Laussane. Switzerland should fall in the next few weeks as troops continue to pour in.
In other news there have been reports of a heightening of Wirrawayan military readiness throughout the Concordiat. Leaves have been canceleld and training operations stepped up. We are also getting reports that some Asian forces are in the process of being transported to the European theatre.

Concordiat News Network
The over 800,00 men of the Wirrawyan 2nd and 3rd Armies continue to over run Switzerland in the glorious re-conquest. We are being told that heavy aerial bombardment has decimated the fixed postitions and fortifications that are the lynchpin of Swiss defenses. This is all possible because, as you all know, Switzerland was once part of the Concordiat. Apparently after our forced withdrawal detailed plans were kept of all defensive positions in the alps and the rest of the country. These plans have been utilized to great effect. Losses have been fairly high but well within acceptable ranges with about 7,000 killed and 11,000 wounded.
Wirrawayan forces have breached the outskirts of Geneva and are moving rapidly through the lowlands. Forces form the south are in the process of taking Laussane. Switzerland should fall in the next few weeks as troops continue to pour in.
In other news there have been reports of a heightening of Wirrawayan military readiness throughout the Concordiat. Leaves have been canceleld and training operations stepped up. We are also getting reports that some Asian forces are in the process of being transported to the European theatre.

OOC:
I have built up a lot of SDI and anti-missile defenses, so a nuke attack aganist my nation would be futile. You'd need to send 1,000 nukes just to hope to have 1 get through my SDI defenses.
You see, I've packed microwave SDI defenses every 600 meters along my Veris-Wall. The Veris-Wall runs the ENTIRE border of my nation (land and coast), and I've RP'ed construction of it in Earth V.
What's more, I have SDI vehicles, as well as additional static SDI turrets around all major cities, enhancing my anti-nuke defense even further.
I have a space station, some satellites, and some space shuttles with weapons on them, namely railguns.
So even if you guys start nuking each other, probably the only inhabitable area left would be North America, thanks to my SDI systems. ;)
At any rate, SDI or not, I must request that nukes are NOT to be used, as it would ruin all Earth V RP'ing, present and future.
If nukes are used, I will request a new Earth V to be created, where the radiation and crap does not exist. :)

Hmm. Numbers may not always mean victory. The Greeks proved this aganist the Persians during Alexander The Great's campaigns.
In addition, defenders have a decided advantage over invaders, for quite a few reasons.
1. Logistics
2. Shorter distance to deploy troops / material.
3. More people are willing to support a defensive war as opposed to supporting an invasion.
4. Defenders know their terrain much better than the invaders.
5. Defenders can hide or spring surprises more successfully than invaders.
I can think of some more reasons.
Basically, if it was a 1 vs 1 war between Sharina and Tenebrocosis, it'd probably end up a 50 / 50 chance if Tenebrocosis invades, and perhaps a 40 / 60 chance in favor of Tenebrocosis if I invade him.
Also, successful use of tactics can allow 100 men to take out 200 men, or even 500 men if executed properly.
But of course. Just wanted to make sure you knew my statistics. Remember, the Tenebri military doesn't even supply troops with helmets, so you can imagine what training is like.
Actually, it's rather good.

((BTW dropping stuff from space wont work. AA missles do wounders on them))
Depends. If you fire small missiles, then perhaps.
But if you fire large missiles or tungsten rods, that would be harder to destroy.
Mass / velocity. Taking down a 100 pound missile is very easy compared to taking out a 1 ton solid metal artillery shell, or 1 ton tingsten rod.

Well you see, an AA missle would hit a 1 ton projectile and break up it's surface. Then under the heat of it's own reentry it would disintigrate. These big solid projectiles must be shaped correctly or else they burn up in reentry.

Okay. Lets take a look at that.
A 1 ton solid metal projectile would be more dense than an meteor or asteroid of similiar "volume area". It would take some time for the projectile to melt completely, but before then, the projectile would most likely hit Earth's surface.
Failing that, the projectiles could always be thermally coated like the Space Shuttles.
Also, AA missiles have a ceiling of 10 - 25 km. That wouldn't give the incoming 1 ton projectile much time to "melt away" before ground impact. If this occurred at 60 km or more, then perhaps.

I never said it would melt. It would break up. The AA missile would break away any protection it has from heat.

Ahh, yes. In this case I cite the example of Sir Peter the Sage, he claimed territories in the US but faield to post again after that. Sharina or someone occupying the US asked TGSR if he could count Peter's territories as nuetral since he had yet to post. TGSR agreed and the country annexed Peter's holdings. KM is the same, he failed to post so I counted his holdings as nuetral when I invaded. I can dig this up for you if you want, but I hope that you take my word for it.

I am basing this off two factors.
Factor #1:
Sharina:
GDP Per Capita: $36,837.19
Unemployment Rate: 3.10%
Defence: $5,119,414,068,938.40 15%
Doomingsland:
GDP Per Capita: $30,810.91
Unemployment Rate: 4.56%
Defence: $4,127,642,627,908.80 41%
Factor #2:
Tactics, along with a huge tract of land that would take you a while to subjugate / suppress.
I said that I could take you 1 vs 1, or make you busy / occupied that you would risk losing ground to me if you reinforce Wirraway or Kopparbergs.
I never said I'd "roll over you", defeat you easily, or wipe the floor with you. I was saying that I'd have a 50 / 50 chance with you, more than enough to keep you busy during Earth V World War.
It definitely won't be "Utterly Crush Sharina" like Wirraway claimed. That was the point I was trying to make. I am and will put up a fierce fight, equal to any fight any "big" nation would give.
Another point I'm trying to make is that just because a nation has a bigger population doesn't mean that it automatically wins war because of it.

I am sending not 2.8 trillion dollars, but instead, I am sending 3 trillion dollars as a gesture of friendship and goodwill. In addition, my other incentives shall take effect immediately.
I shall send two full carrier groups from the Sharina Pacific Navy to Ecaudor, along with five divisions of Army, and two divisions of the Air Force to help secure Ecauador, as well as putting down any riots until proper police forces can be trained.
The governmental officials, the Air Force, and the marines will arrive within two days, while the rest shall arrive by the end of the week.
I look forward to having more dealings, relationships, trade, and more solid friendship with your nation.

Rand smiled as he read King Carl Oscar's message, and then frowned slightly when he scanned that the implications of Sharina and Kopparbergs being in opposite sides sank in.
He shook his head slightly, before composing a response.
Perhaps there's a solution. There must be.
Suddenly, a figurative light-bulb formed in his mind, and Rand smiled once again as the last vestiges of his frown disappeared into the never-ending flow of time.
==========================================================
Quad encrypted secret tranmission to King Carl Oscar V:
Greetings, friend.
I have taken note that we have took stances on opposing sides in the inevitable conflict. I have several thoughts how to prevent our nations from becoming enemies.
First, how about a secret cease-fire? Sharina forces will take extreme caution not to engage your forces, and you can do likewise.
Second, I shall not order any attacks whatsoever aganist your holdings in South America, notably Argentina.
If your forces are mixed with Doomingsland forces or Wirrawayan forces, my forces will target their forces exclusively, leaving your troops and formations un-touched. Sharina has some excellent precision weapons that are capable of this feat.
Would this deal be possible, and is it possible if we could make it work both ways? I truly do not want to war with you, but I risk the wrath of my allies if I do not participate in the battle aganist Doomingsland and Wirraway.
In addition, fate has dealt me a cruel and unusual twist. I am apparently going to be allied to one of my enemies, namely Vineyard. How times change.
I truly hope our two nations can avoid war and bloodshed aganist each other.
Live well and prosper.

I have built up a lot of SDI and anti-missile defenses, so a nuke attack aganist my nation would be futile. You'd need to send 1,000 nukes just to hope to have 1 get through my SDI defenses.
You see, I've packed microwave SDI defenses every 600 meters along my Veris-Wall. The Veris-Wall runs the ENTIRE border of my nation (land and coast), and I've RP'ed construction of it in Earth V.
What's more, I have SDI vehicles, as well as additional static SDI turrets around all major cities, enhancing my anti-nuke defense even further.
I have a space station, some satellites, and some space shuttles with weapons on them, namely railguns.
So even if you guys start nuking each other, probably the only inhabitable area left would be North America, thanks to my SDI systems. ;)
At any rate, SDI or not, I must request that nukes are NOT to be used, as it would ruin all Earth V RP'ing, present and future.
If nukes are used, I will request a new Earth V to be created, where the radiation and crap does not exist. :)
Yea, but we can still threaten to use nuclear weapons... >:)

Hehe. I have no problem with that. Nuking ships or small islands could still work.
I do like some "barking" myself, and intimidation factors as it adds a new dimension to diplomacy. :)

He can't just give it away after I've invaded. He failed to ever RP his nation and besides gave it away weeks after I had stated that Switzerland was under my control. Switzerland is part of my Empire, TGSR recognized it and the precedent was set with Sharina's annexation if Sir Peter the Sage's holdings. You are violating my borders, now leave.
That's what the war is for. We're not leaving.

This is an incorret statement. TGSR then backed out of his decision and never made it clear who owned switzerland. I fear that it is only him that can now make the decision.
I quote from TGSR
All your invasions have been recognized, but I still need an offical telegram list of nations invaded by you.
But I'm still not sure about Switzerland. KM had it, and he never posted except to give his terrorities to Jonathana.
This statement effectivly voided your invasion. Only TGSR has the decision to make this clear now.

Moon bases? Hypersonic bombers?
TGSR has said that there will be no FT involved in Earth V.
If TGSR allows the moon base and hypersonic bombers, I will introduce my own FT to counter these. Namely a space station with weapons, dozens of attack satellites, laser / microwave beam anti-aircraft point-defense, and hypersonic missiles. ;)
None of which is considered Future Tech, we went to the moon in 1969,
and Russia has had the so called underwater missiles sense the 1970's. We now have hypersonic aircraft that is capable of mach ten or better.The
Space Station is an exact double for the International Space Station. The
Shuttle is the one we now use. We have had lasers & microwave weaponry
for years. So what exactly is your point? Apparently I was right ... you figured that my property was next for your ambition. And now you have run up against someone you can't bully. As I said do yourself a favor, and leave my property alone.
P.S. If you bring in " real future tech " I will do the same.

Okay.
Where are there hypersonic bombers RL? Blackbird jets don't count as they are spy planes, not bombers.
Moon base? That might be possible, I admit. However, you won't have artifical gravity, and people living there would need to do a lot of activity to maintain their health. People can't stay in space for sustained periods of time without centifrugal gravity.
Your moon base would require lots of resources and material to make the whole base centifrugal.
Keep in mind, you have two territories, and you'd be hard pressed to produce enough natural resources to do your space program, moon base, thousands of bombers, etc.
However, I have far more land to draw natural resources from, as I control nearly the whole Rocky mountains, considerable resources in Alaska and Mexico, and some extra resources from Ecaudor.
So in terms of resources, I'm able to build lots and lots of stuff compared to many other nations.

The Blackbird is obsolete, the aircraft I have is presently being used.
Its been thirty plus years sense we went to the moon. Do you mean to tell me that you don't think we could build a moon base right now if we wished too? People are living in space aboard the International Space Station.

(dude this is Earth V anything outside Earth V isnt reconized in Earth V. Also a moon base is possible, but it would drain a lot of resources and wouldn't be of much military value. As for the space station, ever notice who it has become a flop? Hypersonic planes in earth V is an iffy subject. We are only testing this technology IRL and the first one broke up. You might have hypersonic bombers, but they wouldn't carry much yet. I think that is more along the lines of 2025-2030.

Sorry to burst your bubble of superiority, Kormanthor...
Earth V = absouletely NO galactic empires, interplanetary trade, FTL travel, etc.
That means you are limited ONLY to the planet Earth for all Earth V stuff.
Second, I have made it clear that I desire to unify West USA, West Canada, and Latin America. Ecuador and Caribbean holdings are my only other possessions. After that, I won't be invading or wanting more land. I do not want land in Africa, Asia, Australia, or Europe.
Let me ask youa question. If I was such a greedy land-monger, I would be tryuing to take as many unclaimed lands as I can. I would be invading Africa, Europe, Asia, etc.
Yet I am not. I am content to be an North America empire, with holdings in Caribbean and one state in South America (Ecaudor). The only reasons I wanted Ecaudor was to gain one state in South America, and become able to solidfy trade / relations with all S.H.I.T. nations in South America.

Starfighters (beyond space shuttles and modern era satellites) = FT and not allowed on Earth V. I mean fighters like TIE's, X-wings, etc. aren't allowed.
FTL ships not allowed in Earth V universe.
For all intents and purposes, you are a Modern Tech nation in the 2000 - 2020 range in Earth V, limited to 2000 - 2020 tech. No 2100+ AD tech.

First, I have RP'ed the conquest of all these lands I own.
Second, I continued RP'ing for well over 2 months, with absouletely no reaction from you.
Third, you were inactive in Earth V until the last 2 weeks, after months of no RP or interaction in Earth V.
Fourth, I have repeatedly made it clear that once I take your territory (before you suddenly became active) that I would not expand any further, or invade for additional land (exception to this is the Caribbean).
Fifth, I am content to have a North American empire, and not have ANY holdings or "sphere of influence" on other continents, with the exception of Ecaudor in South America.
Sixth, to summarize all this, my Imperalism is coming to an end once I finish unifying West Canada.
Seventh, I am not interested in having a "beef" with you outside of Earth V. For all intents and purposes, I consider each Earth / universe seperate. Wars, IC disagreements, rivalry, hatred, etc. in say, Earth III stay in Earth III.
I am not exactly on the same page as Vineyard as you can see from my IC actions in Earth V. But I could be best friends with Vineyard in Earth III or Earth IV because our rivalry and ideologies will stay seperate between both Earth's.
Last, you say you can draw resources and economy from your Andromeda planet. This would be a god-mod because Earth V is for MT era, not FT. For all intents and purposes, you are a 2 province nation with limited assets in space, and are forced to use space shuttles and similiar space technology. No FTL, no space cruisers, etc.
Numbers and bigger population DOES NOT mean an automatic win in warfare. Take a look at this map.

You would struggle to produce 30,000 tanks, 100,000 cruise missiles, millions of infantry guns, etc. with what resources you have as laid out in that map.
I'm able to extract far more metal ore, minerals, etc. than you Kormanthor. I'd be able to build far more war material, because of this. I control the most resource rich areas in North America, compared to two Canadian provinces with medium deposits at best.
It's simple economics and mass. I have more iron, tungsten, uranium, etc. deposits, and I will factor this into warfare.
You'd be like Japan, and me like the USA in WW II. Japan had very little natural resources in its Home Islands, while the USA had practically millions of tons worth of metal and resource deposits.

Two things.
First, I don't RP in NS Earth, I RP in Earth Series. The only instances I do RP in NS Earth is to help friends, NATO, or alliances I'm involved with in conflicts.
Second, one problem with MT vs FT is that these RP's never work out, except for the extremely rare gem of a RP. It will be quite a while before I even transfer into Space Age or FT. That'd probably be this summer or next year at the rate I'm RP'ing with MT nations.

If you're upset about my land / size, look at Tenebrocosis. He has quite a good chunk of land compared to me. :)
Buy my land on Earth V and I will leave peacefully.

These are Tenebrocosis lands in Asia. He has some land in Europe, namely European Russia.
China is about the size of the USA. Tenebrocisis lands can easily hold TWO China's in it, and he could try to annex Mongolia or other lands to increase his size even more.

Here's my lands in North America. When you cram all my holdings, I come up to the size of 1.25 USA. Add the area of Mexico and the half dozen small Latin America countries to my West USA states. Then add Alaska. These alone would give me as much as 2/3 the USA in land area.
Then add my 4 Canadian territories. About 1/3 - 1/2 of the USA land size.
So it does come up to 1.25 - 1.5 size of the US. Tenebrocosis still has considerably more land than me even after adding all my land together.
All I wanted was to be left alone ... you don't want to do that so ...
I honestly didn't want war with you Kormanthor. I am perfectly willing to pay you, and help you invade / colonize Africa or Asia, or help you build more colonies on the moon. :)

Just buy the land from me, I no longer wish to have my name associated
with Earth V. I am not a conqueror, I only wish to found colonies and develop
them peacefully. Because of people like you all that isn't possible on Earth V.

I will also speak to VirginIncursion because I'm sure one of you all will feel
like you must have her territory as well.
Earth V is boring without imperialism.
I havent been here for a while, and I checked the maps that show Ramissle partially in Djibouti, which i have no clue about. Can someone tell me whats happening?

Kormanthor, I only wanted to create an unified West North America. Honestly, once I purchase your Canada land, my imperialism will come to an end, followed by massive domestic build-up.
I am willing to pay you $6 trillion for both Canadian provinces. :)

Done .... My Canada forces will load up as quickly as possible and move to the moonbase temp. Until Kor Fleet Starships can come to pick them up and
take us home. Then the moonbase will be dismantled and taken when we go.
Sharina your imperialism might stop, but what about the rest of the imperialist
of Earth V? One of you said Earth V is boring without imperialism, so what are you all going to do to relieve the boredom?

Thank you.
I am just glad that we avoided un-necessary bloodshed and deaths.
Hopefully we will meet again in space, under better terms several NS decades or centuries down the line.
Go in peace,

OOC:
Now my imperialism in North America has come to an end.
Operations will continue in the Caribbean. More detailed IC post regarding Kormanthor's sale and final annexation of Sasketchwan will come tonight or tomorrow.
