Due to all the science and space related stuff popping up lately, I've thought about resurrecting the Earth II International Space Program. Would anyone be interested?

Yes, I would. It would propel my nation to stop worrying about surface ordnance and start putting up some reconaissance sattelite, and then my vaunted ABM system.

EDIT:

I believe I have found the motherlode of all maps. It's a map of where *all* the oilfields (as well as natural gas reserves) are in the world and how much they have left. You can see it here:

Okay TLS, this is what EII Xinjiang looks like:


Population: 95 million (approx.)

85,500,000 Han Chinese
9,500,000 Turkic ethnicities*


*The Uighur ethnic group was seen as the largest threat to Xinjiang's continued existence as part of Zhonghua; as a result, many of them were either forcibly dispersed throughout Zhonghua or simply 'disappeared'. It should be kept in mind that the PRC was in the process of colonising Xinjiang when they were overthrown by the combined efforts of the NeoSuunist Revolution and the invasion by the Rosians; once established, Zhonghua simply increased the efficiency, speed and size of the operation. Eventually the Zhonghuan government plans to have removed all Turkic ethnicities from the region.

The Turkic ethnicities that remain have been dispersed throughout the Xinjiang region to ensure that the Han constitute the majority in all districts. The Zhonghuan government has invested heavily in Xinjiang to ensure its economic viability; as one of Zhonghua's main oil and gas production areas, it is extremely well-guarded by both the armed forces and the secret police.

If there are any doubts regarding the Han population, keep in mind that the population of Zhonghua is over three times that of RL China. Before anyone asks, the Zhonghuan government is harsh enough to have removed the numbers needed to pull off that kind of population redistribution, all in the name of progress. In my timeline it's been about 10-15 years since Zhonghua got their hands on Xinjiang.

Finnmark would be good, but, I would suggest picking somewhere other than Basra. By land, theres a massive distance to the nearest foreign border. By sea, the nearest other nation is the Germanian Munsandam peninsula on the other side of the Gulf. By air, you could get to the Greenmanbry border in Arabia, but theres plenty of better spots. If you're not looking for a naval base, Rutbah or a city in Kurdistan (Iraqi provinces of Dahuk, Ninawa, As Sulelymaniyah, and At Tamim). If you want a spot on the Gulf, the area around Doha is good, as is Bandar e-Lengeh in Iran, Salwa in Arabia, or Ruways in the UAE. Cities in N. Iran would be good for the 'Stans, the Causcaus, or the Caspian sea. Basra just doesnt give you the reach to atack anyone. You can take it if you want though. Either way, id like to make sure i have a consulate in the province/state/nearest big city to my base, and if you could put one in the capital of the Sultanate you choose (ie Tehran, Baghdad, Mosul, Riyadh)

Any further discussion should prbably go in my international relations thread.

Unfortunately, I think that it would take the combined militaries of all Pacific nations to defeat me - yes, I' that pompous and confident in ability to win. The resources of New Caledonia don't matter to me - they have the resources to expand to small Pacific islands, which is what I'm doing. I don't have a navy, although it's being built in Japan, a fairly large ally of mine, and they're probably my largest trade partner.

Nonetheless, I have a fairly positive outlook on the conclusion of Mesmerize, which includes me owning all of what Celtayoshi owns in the Pacific, and if Cotland continues his belligerence, all of what he owns.

[OOC: Actually, removing the nuclear tips off an ICBM won't blow me to heaven's high. Unfortunately, ICBMs are some of the easiest things to respond to since they don't start corkscrewing until they re-enter the atmosphere. If it wasn't for some budgetary features the U.S. would probably have a very accurate ABM missile system, and indeed they do [if it was ever tested]. So, again, that won't solve your problems.]

But against an island nation with limited room to use land based ABM systems, or, at least hide them, and a nation with the capabilites to remove any space based element to the ABM system means that fairly quickly you could find yourself exposed...

Fortunately for me, you don't need much room to operate an ABM system. And I doubt you'll have the capabilities to take out the sattelites I'm going to have Japan shoot up soon enough. But, that's left for in character posts - but, these are sattelite constellations, on other orbits, so it won't be as easy as you think.

The world was different back then. Certain member states(such as myself and the Parthians) had particularly bad relations, and had gone to war at least once, at it appeared as if war would break out again and again. After we kicked out the nations that kept on trying to kill everyone, we had a stable alliance. Unfortunatly, it turned out not to be as strong as we all hoped.

Well, I'm bored, so I'm going to tell you how my game went...

Well, it started out with me playing as Poland. I then tried to overthrow the government of the U.S.S.R, and it worked! So anyhoo, my big neighbor was now just Russia. I then went to war with Germany while it were weak, and owned them, and made them my puppet. I also took over the Baltic states. So ANYHOO, after I switched to the French for a spin to intervene in the Spanish Civil War(the Republicans won, with the aid of the French), I switched to the Greeks, beat the crap out of Turkey(and took all their coastal provinces), took over Bulgaria, then the Romanian coast and the Russian Black Sea coast, as well as the Caucasus. So ANYHOO, I then switched to Poland. I was having nice economic reforms, when all of a sudden my ally France declared war on Russia. I made peace with Russia quickly, so all was good, until France landed an army on the Russian Baltic coast and took Leningrad. Seeing how I didn't want France to take Moscow, I went to war with Russia(my forces had just owned Czechslovakia, and I took over the Slovakia part, so my forces were veterans of either the Baltic War, the Czech War, or the German War). I took alot of their provinces, including Kiev and most of what is now Belarus and Western Ukraine, and I beseiged Moscow for 2 months. Then, after I had amassed 23 of my trained divisions(I had to send 9 of them to re-capture Leningrad, because those moron French left it undefended), I attacked Moscow and CAPTURED IT! I was much happy, but by then the French had captured all the Russian Territories west of the Urals that I had not(the British had invaded the North and the French had sent another army to capture the Russian Far East via the ocean), so I had no more chance of expansion. Oh yeah, and during my war with Germany I extended the borders to what they are today. So, I then started playing as the Russians(so the A.I could build up Poland better than I could), and realised I was ROYALLY screwed(I had 5 divisions, against like 20 French,8 British, 1 Egyptian, 1 Belgian, 5 Australian, like 3 New Zealander, and 10 Polish, seeing how the A.I had decided to give the French some expeditionary forces), so I retreated back to Siberia. I then trained 7 more divisions, and used them to conquer back areas of West Russia(y'see, the French had a bunch of divisions, but they were all split into groups of one, so my 7 divisions would own the French).

That's where I stopped playing, because I decided to check on NS.

What was this?

Hearts of Iron II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearts_of_Iron_II).

Really fun game.

Basically, you pick ANY country that existed on Jan. 1 .1936 and play as them until Dec 31 1947. You can play different scenarios, or you could choose to start at a later date(if you have the game fully patched to ver. 1.2, you could start either in 1936, 1938(right before Munich Agreement), 1939(Invasion of Poland), 1941(Germany invades U.S.S.R), 1944(D-Day), with all countries as they were historically at the starting date).

There are also some other cool scenarios, such as the Spanish Civil War(this event happens in a normal game, but if you play the Spanish Civil War campaign it's a bit more realistic and you are ONLY playing in Spain), or a fictional Platinean War between Argentina(backed by the Nazi's) and Brazil(backed by the U.S.), and another scenario is a fictional invasion of Japan(the alternative to Nuking Japan. Needless to say, alot more people die this way). There are like 10 other scenarios.

I would also pwn at the Winter Olympics.

You can defintely count on me not to follow the Geneva Convention.

I would love to play Brockian Ultra-Cricket, the rules of which are as follows:
Rule One: Grow at least three extra legs. You won't need them, but it keeps the crowds amused.
Rule Two: Find one good Brockian Ultra-Cricket player and clone him off a few times. This saves an enormous amount of tedious selection and training.
Rule Three: Put your team and the opposing team in a large field and build a high wall round them.
The reason for this is that, though the game is a major spectator sport, the frustration experienced by the audience at not actually being able to see what's going on leads them to imagine that it's a lot more exciting than it actually is. A crowd that has just watched a rather humdrum game experiences far less life-affirmation than a crowd that believes it has just missed the most dramatic event in sporting history.
Rule Four: Throw lots of assorted items of sporting equipment over the walls for the players. Anything will do - cricket bats, basecube bats, tennis guns, skis, anything you can get a good swing with.
Rule five: The players should now lay about themselves for all they are worth with whatever they find to hand. Whenever a player scores a 'hit' on another player, he should immediately run away and apologize from a safe distance.
Apologies should be concise, sincere and, for maximum clarity and points, delivered through a megaphone.
Rule Six: The winning team shall be the first team that wins.

The Black Plague doesnt sound so fun.

I hate CS *shudder*. It's not as cool as everyone thinks it is.

Anyhoo, I'm down for the E2 Olympics, the Geneva Thinger, and the Cricket thing(Even though I haven't the faintest idea how to play :().

I'm not so sure about t3h plague. I mean, I could probably protect myself from it relatively well(at least in the more urban areas), but I think such an outbreak that kills millions is VERY unlikely, especially due to the facts that many nations here are EXTREMELY advanced. Now, if we had any third-world countries, there could be problems...

On the Geneva Protocol: This is different from the convention, which is more famous, most likely because it's broken more often. The Convention could be dealt with in the Human Rights conference underway now. The Protocol deals with Chemical and Biological weapons. [It was signed before nuclear weapons, between the two world wars (1928), although it is the basis for most of international law when it comes to using nukes.] To put it simply, it bans chemical and biological weapons. The E2 version doesnt need to be that strict. Something banning first strikes and use against civilians might gain more approval.

Olympics :Someone (nosegoes) should start a thread for the Olympics. Perhaps start one (either summer or winter, doesn't matter), and choose a RL date and city for the next one.

Bubonic Plague : The plague will begin in Hyderabad (inner city india gets pretty close to third world, although it could be a weaponized attack), and spread from there. Even though better medical systems exist now than in the last outbreak, over 100 years ago, outbreaks in the modern world still cause lots of death, and more importantly, lots of fear. AIDS and SARS are the best modern examples, but look at the fear the threat of avian flu brings up.

Disease scares people. I live in New England, and EEE is a big fear. Living with a doctor, I also see the panic over the flu vaccine every year.

Ultra-Cricket : Regular cricket is beyond me, but in one of my boredom-induced moments, I remebered the part of Hitchhikers that Squorn put up.

Well, the plague (which i always spell wrong the first time I type it), is i n Hyderabad. I had three ways of explaining it:
1)Lingering disease from past outbreaks resurfaces
2)Escaped from medical lab in India (since we dont use WMDs)
3)Foriegn weaponized disease

The problem with you doing it is all the things we're working together on (Poland, Israel, space program, MESC, and all the things in the past). You could be a backstabbing traitor, or it could be an accident, or an "accident." I was hoping, as you have lots of large cities, especially in India and Pakistan, you could get a mouthful of plague victims (not very tasty)

In fact I've still got those handy Sons of the Blue Crescent hanging around. For those who don't know, they're a terrorist group that has caused quite a bit of trouble in the past(including overthrowing the Greater Carthage area and invading Cottish Sicily, and assasinating the last emperor minutes after he had abdicated his thrown). They're the kinda people that go "We are the master nation!" and they hate anything not-carthaginian or un-imperial. They're fine with Carthages overseas holdings, seeing how they have pledged their alleigance to Carthage, but not other countries.

Used to be you for Air and Navy, TN for army. I've actually been using the same miltary for a long time, simply because I haven't gotten around to my massive military reorganization that occurs whenever I have some time. Unfortunately this leads to my military being stretched thinner and thinner, although that does help get rid of things like Madras/Chennai, which had 1/4 of the military stationed there at one point.

Although repealing the Flag Acts against all but Huahin and Brydog was going to happen as soon as Poland gets started up again (someone's been in the bathroom for quite some time.), it would still take a long time to restablize conditions, unless we ended up on the same side of something important.

Well, two posts from the current one in the plague thread will be my announcing we have one confirmed dead from plague. However, it will leave enough time for the disease to escape before we begin our emergency plans. We dont realize it's an attack, but then you can say "we did it, we did it!" if you want. Perhaps you're mad that we took Indian land that once belonged to Carthage. In central india you might even get some local support, but the South has been Elephanti for too long (only Bahrain has been around longer), to get any real support. Giving money/weapons/other support to the Koror rebels might help as well.

Concerning Yelm: As of Sept 30 he was 17 days inactive. As of today he is 11. That definitely means he logged in and in fact did so on the 3rd. This means that he didn't go to 21 days. I am not going to declare him decree 12 because he is not a case of people who never contributed to Earth II. He did not make a request for Decree 13 so if he gets to 21 days of inactivity then you can go to town.

Concerning The Knights Templar: Deleted by NS for inactivity. Have fun, it's free claim.

Good I hope it lights the fire of independence world wide

There are plenty of peeps who want to come into E2 but can't. I pressure all imperial nations to give up some of your territories to new folks....You can't maintain an empire forever!!!!

The romans couldn't even do it without having to divide among generals

I foreseen Europe's future in e2. It’s a future of independent states, new democracies who won their freedom peacefully or through violence. Of course as long as the RC stays in place this task will be much difficult.

Panthean intelligence are also looking over the revolution against yelm in Romania. Might have to invade that as well as it would give us an ample opprunity to watch over the imperalist of Russia and Europe

imperialist!

IMPERIALIST!
<slam fist on to desk>

What possible use can Israel have its in current state. The imperialist want to show it off like a trophy, in the same way that they show off Europe and Russia has merely trophies!! Panthea encourages all citizens of imperialist occupied countries to study the great revolutionaries the past, Tom Paine, Vladimir Lenin, Che Guerra, Panthean invests millions of dollars in publications like Uprising in which encourages rebellion, In other words if we don't invade we still can affect your nation through external resources. Its Panthea's GOD giving destiny to save the world from imperialist and crooked crooks of the anti-nationalist Roman confederacy! LIGHT THE FIRE OF REVOLUTION! BURN BABY BURN!

All independent loving nations must form an alliance to counter the RC! We must form the Brotherhood of Nod to protect those who are oppressed in Europe and Russia. Fools, haven't opened their eyes yet and see that they been hagged by Rome. The Confederacy was just a buffer in protecting the Huns of North Germania march through Europe. Ask yourself why the barbarians stoped at Rome's gate despite having a military advantage. Why doesn't NG do what his great ancestor did before him, sack rome!

Panthea strives to rebuild the holy land and set it up for a independent Jewish nation. Having equal rights and laws under our protection.

It is Panthean's destiny to secure the holy land. It is the last of the great Christian crusades in which we envision a land of mutual relationship between Jews and Christians.

We demand that Cotland, Elephetum, and TLS back down in their blockade. Because as stated above it is a futile attempt to hold back resistance against the old world powers.

We only wish to invade Israel and then give it to a new nation on E2

And just exactly how do Pantheaa intend to get those troops into Israel when all routes in to the nation are being blocked by allied forces? What assurances do we have that you will not take the land for yourself? You say that they will be under your protection. It looks to us that you mean that you will rule the Jews at gunpoint, something we cannot allow. Also, we advise against calling one of our most asteemed allies for a "Hun", especially when we're considering giving Israel to that ally.... (OOC: ;))

Message to Cotland

I above all leaders of the world have a certain respect for the North Germania empire. Read between the lines and you will see that. They and the following world events made Pantheaa want it is today. When the great blackmail of Slovakia took place it made us realize that we must expand or die! Using the paranoid as weapon has allowed the right wing parties of Panthean to take power in the first time of its young history...that and the race mixing between Russians and Slovakian Refugees in Orenberg Oblast. That’s when the Slovakian Mafia came in handy at making opposition "disappear"
<laugh><grin>

For years we sat dormant not realizing our true potential...That’s until the Glorious Revolution in Poland made us realize that REVOLUTION IS POSSIBLE!
Without the Polish resistance nothing would have been possible. Many books have been written and many made for TV movies have been produced just from that event. The only thing different between us and the polish warriors is that we think that an foreign nation can help push the cause for revolution from the outside. Call it a “people’s imperialism”

In Israel we plan to reeducate the masses and build a democratic nation for them...in which then and only then will I transfer power to a new nation (ooc: a new person coming into E2). The knights Templer was one of the few small non-imperialist nation, our concern is that Israel will become a part of the larger empires instead of free and independent.

We are in a good mood and since we don't feel like slaughtering the Cottish army in the holy land we have decided to offer a compromise. Award us parts of Israel where Israelites are the majority

or

Make an imagery line in the middle of Israel with the Northern under Panthean rule. Jerusalem will be mutually shared


I'll give you one more chance. To quote the Gladitor movie "Am i not merciful"

End the blockade or else we invade the West bank and the Gaza strip first. And let it be known we don't show mercy to those who resistance a Jewish nationalist revolution. Now is it really worth it, to stop one little nation from gaining its independence.
Ohh and notice that we have never said that we plan to harm the Palestine...we just said that we wanted Israel for the Israelites.

I give you 1 day to think about it. Time line for invasion is Saturday night...

And don't worry we will get into Israel if we have to plow are way through your battleships. Not one step backwards
