Great, maybe we should also sign a non-aggression pact or something.
Alright I am good with that.

The Lightning Star- would you be interested in selling Syria to me..

Now i am just confused. Is this happening because BISE collapsed or did BISE collapse because this is happening?

Everyone seems to be confusing cause and effect at the moment which is understandable.

BISE reflects numbers of NS calculators. I calculate stock prices from them. The crash occurred because many nations made poor economic decisions on issues or made tax cuts in the regions that reflected their stocks (i.e. NG's cut in healthcare caused a drop in Kinetisch stock prices)

So to answer your question the BISE crash resulted from the calculations I've shown above (not just your nation, many nations)

In order to help restore the global economy, the Barbary Coast Company has decided on a plan to stimulate global trade; every country that allows the Barbary Coast Company to operate in their country without tariffs on their goods will receive 50% discounts on all goods we bring into their country. While this will result in a temporary loss for the company, we believe it is essential to help restore the world's economy.

However, all country's with which this deal takes place must not be at war with another nation.



We are willing to participate in your offer.

-Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, decision made after consultation with Ministry of Commerce.

Yeah, it all came to me in the past 10 minutes. Well alright, 10% isn't that much, i am not about to hit rockbuttom like HD is. He has less then a tril on his defense.

Can I join Earth II and what land is there left for me to claim?

Um Hello?

Nope, no more land left. However you can ask people if they are willing to give you some.

Um Hello?

What's up dude?

Read first page, if you can find some miniscule island that has not been claimed yet I'm sure you can join. Make sure they haven't already been claimed yet.

BISE reflects numbers of NS calculators.

So what do you do when there's a guy like me who doesn't use the NS calculators? All my stats are RP'ed.

I'd like to claim the Baker Island, Caroline Islands and the Society Islands i searched for them on the claims list and they are nothere to be found.

EDIT- Deleted original material. Bjornoya, did you see my post?

So what do you do when there's a guy like me who doesn't use the NS calculators? All my stats are RP'ed.

CRUCIFY!!!

Nah, hmm.. not sure. Stocks in the BISE have to reflect tangible evidence or else I'll be accused of God-modding. If there were an up-to-date news-letterish presentation of what was going on inside the country I could make a decisions based on that.

As far as E2 goes it seems you can either choose wht is presented by the NS calculator or choose something less, but never more (population, spending, etc) Most people choose the maximum. I'd like to RP realisitcally but with 4 billion sixe nations threatening war with me it would not be healthy for me to take anything less than what NS presents.

The thing is, I discarded the NS stats because they're impossible to control. If I wanted to, say, increase health care spending, I can do that in a RP but not through NS unless that random issue shows up. Plus, the game wouldn't take into effect an embargo placed here or any other kind of RP'ed situation, because there's no way for the game to know through its coding.

I pull my stats from my factbook, which I compiled through digging for RL stats and information (because my main nation is based on RL). This is my economic overview:

www.geocities.com/vicendum/vicendumspotlightrome.html

It wasn't hard to do- just look on Wikipedia or on the individual provinces' homepages (because each one carries stats).

I've been thinking of expropriating it to my NS population because I'm at a disadvantage here too- Bjornoya, you're not alone: I'd rather use RL figures too, because they're A LOT more manageable. The funny thing about my stats is that they're actually worse than what ThirdGeek spits out- I have a GDP of $18,000 US, when ThirdGeek gives me $19,000. The only problem is that ThirdGeek doesn't give me a defence budget and believe me I have one, and it's quite sizeable.

Thirdgeek gives me a GDP of $36,000 US. Isn't it awesome being uberly-capitalist?

Here (http://nseconomy.thirdgeek.com/nseconomy.php?nation=The+Lightning+Star) is the rest of my economy. It's also important when you calculate the fact that Carthage is completely owned and controlled by the Barbary Coast Company; it makes a profit of Kt. 107,670,207,289.36 ($181,671,940,759.34) annualy. That's a big profit, if I do say so myself. For a company, at least.

TLS- your GDP isn't 36,000 its $32,861.97 to be exact..

This may seem a little random cause I've been gone a while, but it is perfectly well thought out and not as silly as it seems. Glad to be back again

With the dawn of the new sun, every leader across the world awoke to the news a mysterious letter had been placed on their desk, unknown in origin. As letters were being open, a broadcast spilled across any and all open channels

*****Decree of the Grand Master of the Knight Templars and Defender of the True Pope, Guillaume de Rossal:
A middle aged man, unremarkable in appearence but for the burning intensity in his eyes, step up to the podium . . .
"My name is Guillaume of Rossal, Grand Master of the Poor-Fellow Soldiers of Jesus Christ and the Temple of Solomon. I fought in Jerusalem as the Hordes of infidels ravaged the Holy Land, and I fight still. Children of God, I call to you, as a fellow servant of God and the Holy Father, Pope Innocent XV, to pick up your arms and drive these infidels from Jerusalem. God has blessed us with Riches, and so we offer 50 trillion dollars to any who help to drive the heretics from the holy land. But know the the riches God shall give you will make these earthly riches pale in comparison. It is time, brothers. Deus Vult."
The man made the sign of the cross and retired from the podium, the signal fading away.

The letters read by world leaders had but two variants.
1. " I have been so fortunate today to extend to you God's blessing. The Holy Grace has called upon you, and I, to liberate the Holy Land from the Heretics and Heathens of Carthage, and restore the Holy Father. Surely you are blessed to receive this calling, and in this task you shall enternaly be in the House of God. Fail not in this task; the riches of this world and elsewhere are to great. Carthago est Delendum!"

2. "While you have not been so fortunate as to adhear to the calling of the Mother Church, know that now is your time. To join this great Crusade would greatly aid the . . . indulgence of your . . . other faith. However, should you choose to ignore this calling, your peace shall be you own. To get embroiled in the wrong side of this conflict would be unwise, and unneccessary. No friend of Carthage is, for the time being, a friend of ours. Go in Grace, or in Peace. Do not bring war upon yourselves."

OOC: Yes, I'm launching a crusade. the religious undertones are there only because it is a crusade, but it wont get any more dirty, dont worry.
As for the letters, use your judgement as to which one you got.
I'll be posting the thread soon; I just wanted to get everyone's attention, ans $50 trillion has a way of brining people out of the woodworks.

TLS you do realize E2-wise I was the first to establish a nation-wide mega corporation? Visara Co was around before the Carthaginian revolution.

But yeah, it has its strengths and weaknesses. Bureacratic overload for a nation-wide corporation would be enormous.

I asked Layarteb for florida. OS do we use Weapons like we would from normal NS. Like SDs and stuff.

riddle me this.

@ Lay- Probably top 5, stuff has got all rearranged since I last figured that stuff out. Im either 1st or a clost 2nd. Pushka, TLS, Hirgy, and Bjorn are all up there as well.

@Pushka-go to cia.gov, and look up Russia, the US, or any other big country. It shows barrels needed per day. If you use a massive population (like 4 billion or so) then it would need much more than that.

@ numbers debate-I use somewhere between RL and NS. I have slightly over 1billion people, 1/2 my NS population, but more than the total of my RL territiories, because the cities tend to be massive. My military would kick anyone's rear in RL, but in E2, I might lose a one on one fight with any of the massive nations (Lay, Pushka, etc.) although it depends on where you attack (if anything so much as hiccups in the Persian Gulf it will be so dead it isnt funny) I havent actually looked at thirdgeek in forever, does anyone have a link?

@TKT-you do realize I own half of Jerusalem right? Giving someone 10 trillion dollars and then threatening one of his allies that he's been trading with for the last 2,000 years or so isnt smart, but I won't kill you over it.

I would like to claim Howland Island

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howland_Island

Is Jarvis Island Claimed yet?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jarvis_Island

So can we use SDs and stuff like that?

TLS- your GDP isn't 36,000 its $32,861.97 to be exact..

Pffft, close enough. 36,000, 32,000, it's all good :).

And Bjorn, does it really matter who was first?

Thirdly; is someone calling for a crusade? If so...

Official Statement by the Merchant Princes of Carthage
The Grand Duchy of Jerusalem is controlled by the Council; 5 Dukes who each represent each of the quarters of Old Jerusalem(the Jewish Quarter, the Muslim Quarter, the Christian Quarter, and the little-known Armenian Quarter), as well as one who represents an alternating minor group every 4 years (Such as the Ba'hai). We have never stopped anyone from coming to Jerusalem, a vibrant, festive, prosperous, and peaceful multi-cultural city. The Barbary Coast Company firmly believes in the separation of Church and State. For example, the city of Old Makkah (RL Makkah) is maintained by the Order of Salah ad-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub, New Makkah (RL Christchurch) is maintained by the Eastern Followers of the Prophet, many Hindu holy sites are maintained by the Vishnu's Chakrams organisation, and the Churches of the realm are maintained by the Bishop of Carthage, who is a Bishop of the Catholic Church.

Your calls for war against the "infidels" are uncalled for; also, take into account over 300,000,000 Christians are Carthaginian citizens; we do not believe that they enjoy being called infidels by a radical terrorist organization that poses to be a state. We firmly believe that your call for crusade will go unheeded, and then your nation shall become the laughing stock of the world.

So can we use SDs and stuff like that?
Use your head. Superdreadnaughts are PMT (stuff after 2020). If you bothered to read the decreed, you would know that Earth II is MT (stuff up to 2020). Hence, PMT stuff are off limits.

Use your head. Superdreadnaughts are PMT (stuff after 2020). If you bothered to read the decreed, you would know that Earth II is MT (stuff up to 2020). Hence, PMT stuff are off limits.

No really. But I looked at some of your antions military and you gusy have some SDs. But it actully is MT its one of theose things that are MT but havnt benn built.

Pffft, close enough. 36,000, 32,000, it's all good :).





TLS, have you thought about selling Syria, I am willing pay to 30 trillion for it...

If you don't sell me Syria...I shall kill your garrison in Syria for lunch and have your soul for dinner...muhehahahaha..no really ,I really want Syria , damn it all.

I would like to claim Howland Island

If you're looking for something a little more substantial, you could RP a rebellion in my portion of Antarctica.

If you're looking for something a little more substantial, you could RP a rebellion in my portion of Antarctica.

Ok sounds good. So jsut a rebellion or an invasion? Or could I buy it from you to save the trouble.

Also Elephantum I would like to buy your part to.

@Pushka-go to cia.gov, and look up Russia, the US, or any other big country. It shows barrels needed per day. If you use a massive population (like 4 billion or so) then it would need much more than that.

Few things. First 80% of my electric grid gets its power from nuclear energy, second 17 out of remaining 20 % is natural gas, the rest is oil, wind power and so on and so forth. Third, a lot of Russian natural oil reserves are just sitting there and are not mined by anyone, just because thats how it is in RL does not mean thats how it should be on NS there i have the sufficient resources to mine those fields. Fourth my pop is 2.6 bil. Fifth, so how much oil are you offering to sell? I mean what is the amount i should buy? I really don't know what will be too big and what too small.

TLS i said i agree to your proposal, can you respond to that?

Well then go look at France, which is mostly nuclear or other sources. I honestly can't give you a number, you'd have to come up with your own best guess. Although you mine more fields, you also use a much larger population than RL Russia, so you really have to decide for yourself, but rest assured we have enough to fill your order.

Ok sounds good. So jsut a rebellion or an invasion? Or could I buy it from you to save the trouble.

How much would you want for it?

Pushka- Lay makes a bunch of money from his storefront too.

Nations who aren't in the stock market aren't really affected from it's crash right?

How much would 30 million barrels be?

Well, if the US stock market were to crash today, so would just about everyone elses. But it really depends on how much you trade with other countries, and how self-sufficent your economy is.

Pushka- Lay makes a bunch of money from his storefront too.

Doesn't look like it would compensate sufficiently

Nations who aren't in the stock market aren't really affected from it's crash right?

The stock market crushed because NSTracker and ThirdGeek started acting funny and brought NS economies of many nations down. You should check your economy at the NSTracker to see if there is any change for you.

Is there any land anybody will sell to me?

Teh Ninjas check TGs.

Responded Pushka.

My stats seem normal, my gov. waste is a bit high than I remember (10t) but other than that everything seems fine.

Thirdgeek gives me a GDP of $36,000 US. Isn't it awesome being uberly-capitalist?

See, I'm capitalist too- the only difference is that since my Vicendum (and thus main) territories stretch across RL impoverished regions (my main territories include Ethiopia and Somalia, whose combined GDP is $11 billion less than Bill Gates' net worth), so that drags down considerably my GDP. I have announced plans to increase their infrastructure but I haven't had the opportunity to really RP it.

TLS i said i agree to your proposal, can you respond to that?

I didn't see you agree'ing, sorry. Consider the proposal in action with Pushka.

Dweladelfia, what I had in mind was that you could have a rebellion of sorts against Squornshelan rule in the Antarctic Peninsula and since my government has much bigger concerns elsewhere, your rebel leaders and my government could probably reach a settlement that would give you the land.

So yeah, I'm totally unscathed by this recession, with my defense budgets remaining almost as big as they used to be (60T, minus 5 billion). And that'll be going up once I start liberalizing the regime's domestic policies...

Be very afraid, children, be very afraid. ;)

Azimeth would be interested in buying land anywhere in the world. That'd be nice. >_>

I learned something new about myself today- when I'm drunk, I'm very philosophical. Even more so than I usually am. That and I'm a lot more talkative. As in A LOT.

I'm still hammered as I write this...but for anyone looking to take advantage of me, you'll be getting nowhere- and fast. Faster than light. Which is fast. So yeah.

I'm feeling pretty good about myself. I think I need to do this more often...

I could totally kick your ass in a drunk-philisophical debate.

Hell I was talking Sartre and Derrida with my sister and brother-in-law down at Anacapa Brewing Co.... in SPANISH!!!

Yeah, but can you come up with a whole new meaning of life? Because I can. Life makes a whole lot more sense now, and I have Heineken to thank for that.

Riding the Yonge Street bus late at night isn't such a chore anymore...I can see life in new colours; and odours. Yes, odours. This is a wild night I'll never forget- and neither should any of you. Ever. I'll keep tabs. :D

I understood the concept of death once then i was drunk, then i woke up i did not remember what it was, but i remember the feeling that it all made perfect sense.

Guys in the drunk philosophical debating i am on a whole other level up above you, sorry guys, thats a birthright right there.

@Lay: Check TGs.

@Rome: You sure there wasn't any marihuana in that beer you drank?

Come up with a new meaning of life? Next time I get drunk no cuz last time I got drunk I already created and went over all the possibilities ;) Besides, got more important things to worry about than the meaning of life, like "Why do I think about what the meaning of life is?"

Dweladelfia, what I had in mind was that you could have a rebellion of sorts against Squornshelan rule in the Antarctic Peninsula and since my government has much bigger concerns elsewhere, your rebel leaders and my government could probably reach a settlement that would give you the land.

Ok all start the thread.

Official Press Release from the Ministry of Defense

In response to the economic setback experienced earlier in the week, the Government has decided to reduce the size of the peacetime military. These cutbacks will mainly affect the Army and Navy, and to some extent the Air Force. We assure the public that the ability for the military to defend the Kingdom has not been reduced. Instead of a large military, we are opting for a smaller professional military to help put out the troubles that may arise in the world. The size of the Home Guards shall not be touched. The conscription shall also be removed, effective as of next year. This is a part of the Governments plan to modernize and strengthen the military.

The Army shall reduce its amount of infantry and armor to a bare minimum, and rather rely on independent regiments, para regiments and rapid response units for the defense of the Kingdom. All in all, the projections of the Army looks like this at the moment:

Infantry Brigades: 24
Armored Brigades: 8
Artillery Battalions: 8
Para Regiments: 30
Independent Regiments: 24
Rapid Response Units: 24
Cruise Missile Units: 24

Combat Engineer Regiments: 24
Medical Regiments: 8
Logistical Support Units: 96
Military Police Units: 24
Army Aviation Units: 12
Military Education Units: 8

As for the Navy, a substantial amount of the fleet will have to be sent to the mothballs, including all battleship battlegroups. The carrier force will be reduced as well, but not as substantially as the battleship group. About 18 carrier groups, including all Alliance battlegroups will be sent to the mothballs. The amphibious force will be reduced in size by 30%, meaning a total of 12 groups will be retired. The remaining 28 will be sufficient to maintain the Kingdoms offensive capabilities. The reduction will limit the Kingdoms blue-water navy, but it is not completely gone. We will still be around on the seven seas.

The Marines and Air Force will remain as they are in size.

All in all, this reduction will not only help ease the budget, but it will also give the military a smaller, more managable profile. The new focus of the military will be on peacekeeping and defensive missions, not as a large offensive giant with nothing to do. The reduction in size will allow the Government to spend more money on the individual soldier, and to give each soldier more attention. We are confident that this will allow us more flexibility in our deployments of forces, both at home and overseas.

OOC: Bjorn, NOT DERRIDA!!!! Friggin hell, I was discussing him last week, my assessment of his work was described as 'dogmatic'. Seriously, I hate the smug french twat. His writing is so pretentious and it really, after all its intricacies, really means nothing much at all. SO ANNOYING! Interdeminacy doesn't take 4 pages of prentetious crap to explain, LOOK UP A DICTIONARY!

And now, thanks to the revamping of the military size, I can spend more than $715k on each member of my armed forces. Professional military, here I come! Ph33r m3...

After reviewing the situation for the Navy, the Kingdom would like to offer for sale the following amount of aircraft.

SH-60R Seahawk ASW helicopters
TABThe Seahawk is a trusty ASW / SAR helicopter, capable of doing most of the tasks needed for a modern navy. The aircraft put up for sale were all refitted to "R"-standard a few years ago, and are in prime condition. All aircraft put up for sale are newly overhauled and will come with a full tank of gas. Dispite the excellent condition of the helicopters, they are used and as such, there will be a reduction in price. All aircraft are for sale for $15 million each. A total of 2,452 SH-60R Seahawks are for sale.

C-2B Greyhound transport aircraft
TABThe Greyhound is a trusty carrier-borne transport aircraft, capable of carrying a lot of goods and passengers over substantial distances. The aircraft are all refurbished and overhauled, and will arrive to the buyers with a full tank of gas. The aricraft are used, and as such, each plane costs only $12 million. There are a total of 630 C-2B Greyhounds for sale.

E-2E Hawkeye airborne early warning
TABThe Hawkeye is a trusty, proven design, capable of seeing and controlling aircraft quite a distance away. It is in short a carrier-borne AWACS aircraft. The Hawkeyes are all refurbished and overhauled, stripped only of classified equipment and electronics which are replaced with top-notch unclassified equipment and electronics. They will arrive with a full tank of gas, and cost only $20 million each. There are a total of 98 Hawkeyes for sale.

Like it or not, everyone is going to be affected by the stock market crash. Suppose (all hypothetically) Cotland owes Pushka money, perhaps from a land purchase. Suddenly, Cotland's economy is gone, and Pushka is not getting his money. Additionally, when Hawdawg, Pushka's major trade partner (just using your names), suddenly has its corporations and economy collapsing, Pushka loses a great deal of trade income, not to mention access to the goods. However, the effects can also be positive, as new nations may step in to fill the void left behind by more affected nations. We live in a global economy, and that's what happens.

On the plus side, my economy's been on the rise (according to ThirdGeek and NSTracker).

Jarvis Island is claimed by me, as are French Polynesia and Micronesia.

Likewise, those countries with 100% taxes would be in serious economic problems because no business would be there with tax rates like that, nobody profits but the gov't.

"Stortinget proposes name-change, people approve!"

OSLO (NTB): 84 % of the population are in favor of the name-change! The Kingdom of Norway is now known as the Realm of Cotland!

Earlier this month, the major opposition party in Stortinget proposed that the Kingdom should change its official name from the Kingdom of Norway, a name which isn't very popular in parts of the Realm far away from Norway itself, such as Australia and Israel, to another name. That namechange was discussed intensely in Stortinget over the past few weeks before the politicians finally decided on nominating the new official name "the Realm of Cotland", Cotland or ROC for short. This name-choice signals a clear homage to sitting PM Thomas Rothsky (FrP), who in his time was the Emperor of the old Empire of Cotland.

Politicians from all parties maintain that the order of business will remain the same as before, with only a new name being the change. Frank Orbeite (Ap) says that "the order of the government will be the same as always, with the King and Prime Minister in the pilots seat. This is little more than a change of our official name, not a completely new style of government every so often like the Carthaginians had a tendency of doing before the Merchant Princes came to power."

The name-choice was put to the real test when the referendum was held throughout the Realm a week ago. Turnouts for the voting was at a whooping 97 percent, and the last of the votes were counted yesterday. After making sure the whole of the Realm held their breath for a night, the officials announced the results today: 84 % are in favor, 13 % are against and 3 % voted blank.

The name-change marks a new page in the long and glorious history of the Realm. In the past, there has been several Cotlands, most of them Empires, all of them glorious. The last Empire, commanded by Thomas Rothsky suffered no defeats in any areas before Rothsky himself chose to listen to the people and step down as the Emperor. Shortly thereafter, the treacherous Russians invaded and took the lands earlier belonging to the Empire. Now, this author hopes that it is time for the new Cotland to show some strength and clearly show the world that it exists. If that will happen is left to be discovered though.

The Empire applauds this name change and not only would like to display our liking of this new name but also to support this new name throughout the world.

Me and Cotland have traded some stuff.

After reviewing the situation for the Navy, the Kingdom would like to offer for sale the following amount of aircraft.

SH-60R Seahawk ASW helicopters

The aircraft put up for sale were all refitted to "R"-standard a few years ago, and are in prime condition. All aircraft put up for sale are newly overhauled and will come with a full tank of gas. Dispite the excellent condition of the helicopters, they are used and as such, there will be a reduction in price. All aircraft are for sale for $15 million each. A total of 2,452 SH-60R Seahawks are for sale.

C-2B Greyhound transport aircraft
TABThe Greyhound is a trusty carrier-borne transport aircraft, capable of carrying a lot of goods and passengers over substantial distances. The aircraft are all refurbished and overhauled, and will arrive to the buyers with a full tank of gas. The aricraft are used, and as such, each plane costs only $12 million. There are a total of 630 C-2B Greyhounds for sale.

E-2E Hawkeye airborne early warning
TABThe Hawkeye is a trusty, proven design, capable of seeing and controlling aircraft quite a distance away. It is in short a carrier-borne AWACS aircraft. The Hawkeyes are all refurbished and overhauled, stripped only of classified equipment and electronics which are replaced with top-notch unclassified equipment and electronics. They will arrive with a full tank of gas, and cost only $20 million each. There are a total of 98 Hawkeyes for sale.

I have Ethiopia and Somalia...

I was talking about my (main) nation based on the NS Earth (which I pull from the Rome I have on Vicendum), not the Earth II version. I connected myself to Ethiopia and Somalia on the NS Earth because in RL Italy took both of them (well, most of Somalia and all of Ethiopia).

I understood the concept of death once then i was drunk, then i woke up i did not remember what it was, but i remember the feeling that it all made perfect sense.

Guys in the drunk philosophical debating i am on a whole other level up above you, sorry guys, thats a birthright right there.

@Rome: You sure there wasn't any marihuana in that beer you drank?

Completely 100% positive. See, getting drunk is always a revelation, to life itself, how much you can take or anything else really. It is true, beer goggles do exist, and it's now my duty to tap into them.

Perhaps I should expound my wild night, because that will explain why everything now makes sense. I went out with a female friend of mine to first a strip club (she really, really, REALLY wanted to do it, and I said "okay". Do you really think a guy's going to say no to that?) and then a nightclub. I'd explain what happened between me and the stripper but then the mods'll come after me, so I won't. Needless to say, the strip club part was the best, though after I got my last drink (and lost my inhibitions) the nightclub wasn't so bad.

Subject Possibility of new Commercial destination

Dear sir/madam

We saw your advertisement, and we are wondering about the possibility of opening a direct connection between Bardaros or St. Lucia and Tobago, either by boat or by airplane. We see this as a way of generating more profit for both our nations, as this will lead to an easier way of tourists to get to the destination while they at the same time may spend money in Caribia (the name of the Cottish Carribean province). We would like to know how the EOL thinks of this idea, and are hoping for a swift and hopefully positive answer.

I got the links, and I posted them on my blog. Since there's two blogs, I was going to create a sub-heading to group them in. I want to know what I should call that subheading. I've used "Blogs Of The Forsaken Outlaw".

Come up with a new meaning of life? Next time I get drunk no cuz last time I got drunk I already created and went over all the possibilities ;) Besides, got more important things to worry about than the meaning of life, like "Why do I think about what the meaning of life is?"

I know you missed one- specifically the one with "Georgia On My Mind" ("Georgia" being the name of the stripper I was with). Besides, I already know the answer to that last question- we think about it because to understand the meaning of life is to understand the purpose of our existence. If we don't know why we're here, then we have no reason to be here.

Then with your permission, we shall establish a boat route between St. Lucia and Tobago. The airport at St. Lucia shall be enlarged to be able to accept even the largest civilian passenger aircraft. We are offering tourists from all around the world the possibility to avoid having to fly to Layarteb City and from there to a port where you can take a boat to Tobago, but rather direct airlink between St. Lucia and the nation in question, and a cheap boatride from St. Lucia to Tobago.

[OoC And that last bit is known to all nations in Earth II]

We have made the decision to transfer 8th Gvardia as well as 34 and 35th armies to Dijoubi, our new autonomous republic in Africa. In addition to that 40th, 41st and 42nd armies will be created out of the local populace integrated with Russian officerial personal, until officers can be recruited and trained from the locals. The armies will be fully equiped and shall have all standard additional divisions attached to them, including divisions from R/C-R, nuclear forces, and so on and so forth. The Russian Federation VMS African naval fleet will consist of 8 Flotillas and 4 Submarine Divisions.

Baker Island, the territory we recently acquired in the pacific will serve as a naval base, with a main mission to station and resupply Russian VMS vessels operating in the Pacific. The island's land area will be increased using modern technologies to house additional vessels.

If still available, the Cymrean Armed Forces would like to purchase 10 of the SH-60R Seahawks. The CAF has a small $5B defense budget, but ten new choppers should be do-able.

I'd be interested in purchasing all the Hawkeyes.

I was wondering how much a $5B defense budget would pay for.

After having spent three years in the Canadian Forces, I figure I have a decent idea of what kind of assets Canada has. I looked up the defence budget for Canada; it's currently $14.3B with 62,000 uniformed troops.

Given my current military budget, I figure I can maintain the roughly 20,000-strong force that was pivotal in acquiring my nation in the first place, as per my factbook. And I think I can safely snag 10 new Seahawks without breaking the bank. :cool:

RE: Message to Cymrea

Dear Sir,

With regard to your recent offer of pilot training, I would like to extend the gratitude of Dominion of Cymrea and the Cymrean Armed Forces. The recent request to purchase Seahawk helicopters from the Kingdom of Cotland comes with the understanding that pilots will be needed for them. Unfortunately, our current military assets do not include any individuals with the knowledge or skill to man the hopefully forthcoming Seahawks.

With this in mind, I have been authorized by the Cymrean Senate to extend to the Huahinian Armed Forces an invitation to send flight instructors and training personnel to Cymrea. Your personnel will be housed, fed, and paid a modest supplement to their Huahinian salaries in exchange for their services.

This invitation will, as authorized, be extended to other nations. First among them will be our neighbour and regnant RomeW, and others are still being considered by the Cymrean Senate.

It is agreed that the ability of Cymrea to defend herself is an important factor in the stability of the region, and the Ministry of Defense is doing its very best to accomplish this goal with the limited resources and funds available to it. With our continued and dedicated effort, Cymrea will become a stable and reliable nation capable of defending not only herself, but also her neighbours and allies.

The Dominion of Cymrea was founded on the desire to establish a sovereign homeland for the Welsh people. Though this has been proven impossible over the centuries under the British Crown, Cymrea does not harbour any hostility toward Britain or the British people. We have accomplished our sovereignty and any slates have been wiped clean. It is with a fresh and optimistic outlook that Cymrea moves forward.

Ever in service,
Gareth Rhys, Consul Legatus, Dominion of Cymrea.

Dear Sir,

It is my great honour to extend to you, on behalf of the Cymrean Ministry of Defense, an invitation to assist in the establishment of a military university for the training of future officers for the Cymrean Armed Forces.

It is our goal to found a premier war college with the best instructors possible, construct a curriculum that covers everything from the historical through to the speculative, and establish a solid foundation from which Cymrea can build an advanced military.

From our regnant Rome, we ask only for instructors - those with the advantage of long experience, skill, and training in the Roman Empire. Roman instructors would be housed on campus and, in addition, paid a supplement to their Imperial salaries, as we would consider their instruction to constitute international military duty.

I thank you in advance and look forward to your response.

This letter confirms the interest of the Cymrean Armed Forces in the possibility of acquiring fighter aircraft in the future. Be advised that with our limited budget and resources the CAF may not be quite ready to make more military purchases at the moment. In the meantime, however, we are certainly more than willing to consider any Huahinian proposals.

With regard to Huahinian personnel, they will be housed at CFB Azuria - near the city formerly known as Prince Rupert - for the duration of their stay. It is anticipated that a training contract for ten instructors, for a period of thirty-six months, will be sufficient to achieve our training objectives.

Official message to the World

We are alarmed by the sudden Russian mobilization and demand an explanation as to why they are mobilizing over a Germanian naval exercise. Again, this is an example of Russian overreaction, an issue which the Russian Federation has denied in known Russian style. The Germanians sent a relatively small naval force, and you respond by mobilizing your entire military.

We strongly condemn the Russian Federation for warmongering and for increasing the already high tensions in the area, tensions which we have tried to calm without any cooperation from the Russian Federation. We remind the Russian Federation that it was they who walked out from the summit in Rome, clearly showing the world that they had no desire for peace. We demand a full Russian demobilization immediately, as this can only be seen as preperations for a Russian invasion of the Fourth Reich.

Furthermore, in order to reduce tensions, we also demand that the Germanian warships remain in international waters and does not voilate Russian territorial waters.

Let us remember that NG's fleet is moving into postition to block russian ports. I believe it is every right for Russia to be wary. ALthough the full scale moblization might have been a little much, during these times one cant be to sure.

I recommend both parties stand down, and blame no one for relationship's sake.

Perhaps, if military training exercises must be run in the region, they could be done jointly, with North Germanian and Pushkan forces coordinating and cooperating with each other.

Otherwise, this is why we discern between international and territorial waters....

Russian Responce

The Reich has placed 1.5 million troops 30 kilometers outside of our borders and now they have mobilized a naval fleet towards our territorial waters. Taking into consideration the racist nature of the Reich's regime as well as the high state of tension already existing between ourselves and member states of The October Alliance you must admit that our actions are propelled by nothing except common sense and wishes of self-preservation.

I'd be all up on board, actually i have proposed this immediately following the NAP between VCO and TOA, but it kind of got buried. The problem is NG's government is racist, they won't operate with me, neither would i want to operate with them unless they change their stance. In addition to that all that TOA does is attempt to bully me, so that kind of hampers any improving relations movements.

No pain at all. In fact, just the opposite. I've thought of using "Rome West", but I don't know if there's some differentiation between your territories in North America and the rest of the Empire, since they're not contiguous. Not that many nations here have solid contiguous territories...:)

There isn't. It's all still the Roman Empire. In fact, my Empire is more of a federation than a real empire- the Dominions are extremely autonomous, with the only restrictions placed upon them is that they have to remit some of their taxes to the central authority in Rome, the citizens must be able to have universal suffrage when called to vote for a new Emperor (an election which is happening this year), their Legions can be called upon by Rome at any time, free trade must exist between the Dominions and in matters of "Empire-wide" foreign affairs (such as relationships within alliances), the power falls to Rome. Other than that, there's quite a lot of freedom afforded.

FROM: Consul Legatus Gareth Rhys
RE: Military Training

Dear Sir,

It is my great honour to extend to you, on behalf of the Cymrean Ministry of Defense, an invitation to assist in the establishment of a military university for the training of future officers for the Cymrean Armed Forces.

It is our goal to found a premier war college with the best instructors possible, construct a curriculum that covers everything from the historical through to the speculative, and establish a solid foundation from which Cymrea can build an advanced military.

From our regnant Rome, we ask only for instructors - those with the advantage of long experience, skill, and training in the Roman Empire. Roman instructors would be housed on campus and, in addition, paid a supplement to their Imperial salaries, as we would consider their instruction to constitute international military duty.

I thank you in advance and look forward to your response.

OOC: I inserted the name of the Consul Legatus (which can be abbreviated to the CL) which can be found in my factbook.

We are very much interested in the idea and would like to explore it further. We would like to base the main campus in Rome itself and perhaps open an international academy too, with several campuses also being present throughout the Empire.

We look forward to hearing your ideas.

The Roman Empire is deeply concerned by the recent actions in Europe. In the interests of peace and stability, we are again urging all nations to resolve their issues diplomatically, and we will provide a forum for which this can be achieved. It is prudent that the nations of the region develop a dialogue with one another, since all that we have witnessed is nothing more than vitriol and that can only escalate.

We are genuinely interested in solving this problem peacefully and we hope that our call will not go unheeded. The future of Europe hangs in the balance.

$1.96 billion wired to Norway. These aircraft will be refitted for special duties above our Artic Islands. Instead of taking off from and landing on Carriers, we will use the same technology to allow them to be operated from very short runways which are situated on almost all our islands. This will enable us to set up a sensor net through which no-one can pass.
The Huahinian Gov't would also like to table bids for Rome's Ellesmere Island, and the EOL's Baffin Island, Southampton Island, and the other surrounding smaller islands. (all these are in north Canada by the way!)

Official Announcement from The Holy Republic of Hawdawg

Due to recent actions beyond our control in the BISE and an overall downturn in international trade, we have been forced to make immediate cuts in our DoD. We have deactivated some 45 Air Force Divisions, in a broad base reduction to lessen the strain of the military on our economy. We are still commited to a strong defense of our homeland and although we have reduced our capability somewhat we still would like to remind the international community we are by no means in a weakened state.

One word: Oil

First off, Bouvet is far from the Artic. It's near Antartica, on the other side of the world globe. The reason why I demanded it is national pride and patriotism. The hell if anyone is going to hold Norwegian territory but myself. Its also part of my long-term plans...

Following the same logic i should demand all of Russia for myself. Anyways, if you tried to pull that stunt with Bouvet island on me, that'd start the WW2.

There was a WW3?

Out of the plane steped Emperor Vega. He walked down the ramp as the crowed cheered. He saluted the two gaurds at the bottom and walked up to the podiom.

"Today, is a bright day. The day we are A free nation!" Crowed began to cheer.
"Our imperium will strech out across the globe. Form sea to sea. All Peoples of the earth will bow before us!" He lifts up his hands bidding the crowed to cheer higher and higher. F-13s over head let out colored smoke. Red, White and Black the countrys colors. While Dreadnougts in the harbor set off fire works.

Thus the begining of the Imperium........

Wow, that was a big-ass TG. Excellent idea though, I like it (they'll never know what hit them...)

lol, responded

The Emperor prepared for his radio address like any other day. He jotted down notes on a small piece of paper and began to look around him to make sure that nothing would interrupt him while he gave his address. Finally, it was time, and so, as usual, he depressed the record button on his computer, which allowed the microphone to recieve any sound, clearly, within a ten and a half foot radius. He sat a foot back and spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the Empire. Times have changed have they not? The stock market crash has affected every nation in one way or another. The Empire saw a 20% fall in non-government regulated fields. Our defense industry has not been affected, I can thankfully say.

"The hardest hit was Manchurian Global but lest this not continue any decline. I have authorized a tax cut to allow for each and every citizen of the Empire to be prepared during this time.

"Let this not dissuade you. Our economy and the Empire still holds strong. The Shingrot still holds its value of $1.83. Our GDP is still in excess of $38,000 and unemployment holds at 2.86%.

"Many have advised me that our nuclear test may have been a major factor for this. I can assure the world that our test was just that, a test. We have not rallied the war troops nor are we currently getting involved in any crisis abroad. The Empire is currently at REDCON 4, our normal peacetime alert.

"Still, the hardest hit were our health sectors. Hospitals throughout the Empire are being given a small funding stipend to assist them. We keep funds aside for these situations and I am more than happy to release some 1% of our stored funds to help the hardest hit sector so that no citizen may go without adequate health needs should it be necessary.

"With that I will bid you all good night and tomorrow shall bring a better day."

Imperial Decree
Due to the recent stock market crash the Emperor has decided to make some momentary changes. However, we wish it to make it clear that the government has been affected only marginally due to our isolationist policies as of late and due to our nonexistent participation in the stock market. The following are the changes proposed by the Emperor:
1) Cutbacks to Administration and public transportation will be installed as soon as possible.
2) All funds devoted to Healthcare will be used to lessen government waste.
3) ADA (African Development Association) will now be given full control of the Healthcare system. This action will be supervised by government officials.
(OOC: For backround information the ADA was established by the previous Emperor, Alec Takenski, to improve and rebuild the impoverished African provinces. He is currently the head of this organization and uses his own personal funds to assist in the major projects.)
4) All currently active military units will remain in their state of mobilization. The rebels , though diminished, are still a threat.
5) Imports will be dropped by 600 billion in order to increase trade surplus even further. This act will only affect the rich, the normal Ninjanian citizen should feel no affect.

These five changes shall be installed by the end of the week. An economic summary will be reported again in one months time. That is all.

Dweladelfia prime [Post 10436]: Wow another one who can't read the claims list.
DP [Post 10441]: Transferred.
DP [Post 10442]: Okay dude until you start looking at maps and the list I'm not giving you any more claims.
DP [Post 10451]: All those being the South Shetland Islands I can give those to you.
Hawdawg [Post 10463]: Yes by all means people please respond to the crash. Everyone was pretty much affected in some way, shape, or form.
Varsola [Post 10465]: And you are talking about?
DP [Post 10467]: Hate to rain on the parade but E2 excludes superdreds. If you register on the forums you can see a list of tech stuff.
Teh Ninjas [Post 10470]: How will that affect the Caribbean (i.e. trade imports)?
DP [Post 10471]: You only need to post a request once. When I get to the update I'll get to it. Patience is key here.

Affect in the Caribbean will be marginal. The deduction mostly goes with imports of luxury goods that aren't necessary for the common citizen.

Bjorn I could get some of that land off of your hands if you want. TG me if you're interested.

Theres a forum?

Theres a forum?

My signature and the first post are probably the best places to look. Have you read the first post?

As long as the land doesn't put you over the land-population matrix level you are in then you can claim it. Normal dreads are just normal BBs so they are quite allowed.

Lay I registered again for the forum under a different email account. If you could confirm that one and delete the other one I'd appreciate it. Sorry for the hassle.

It shouldnt be. All I have is that part of antartica and a couple small islands. I have 1.735 billion pop. So I guess i claim it.

OOC:

I think everyone needs to respond to the Stock Crash. Whether or not you have invested in the market the bottom falling out will effect your economy and the funds you have available to wage war, pay pensions, etc. In a global economy we all are effected. No one is immune. It doesn't matter if you downsize your military, reduce government grants, reduce spending, etc. folks need to reflect some damage from the incident.

-Hawdawg

Don't need to, i haven't participated in the stockmarket and my economy is back at the pre-crush levels so i am good.

Okay you just have to do an RP post that when it's up.
