Justice Will Be Done!
Timashevsk, Krasnodar - Age has come quick on this territorial union that is the Nerotikan state. Many have nearly forgotten the troubled past of the terrorist syndicate orginization or the soviet regime it instilled upon our people. Those memories are hidden deep due to the secretness of the soviets injustices done to the nerotikan people and the worlds blind eyes to their torments. Religious persecution, party devotion and nationalist ideals were shoved into the minds of all the people and one man stood on top of it all controlling the iron fist within the soviet republics themselves. Ivan Rostran, commanding general of the soviet secret police, put his name upon every death warrent that was served within the nation. He led the syndicated police out within our own borders to take those deemed unfit to survive in the republics and place them in the many work camps around the nation.
Many were executed without question, no reasons given and bodies left in the streets for those to witness the power of the soviet regime. Ivan himself had personally saw to the execution of many political enemies whose party allegiances were those of the democratic order, Nerotikan liberation, Reformist and others. Even some of those within the soviet party itself were not safe and Rostran was known to always go after them with the hardest pressure killing families and friends of a single person because he or she had not devoted their lifes entirly to the soviet party.
Finally, however, after so many years we come to today. The Council State of Nerotika has grown much since those days, freedom is no longer a dream and the final nail in the soviets coffin will finally go in. Ivan Rostran, age 82, was recently captured within the city of Timashevsk in Krasnodar. The former soviet general had taken to commanding the Krasnodarian rebellion as he had escaped Nerotikan justice years before by running to the chechen states. He may have been able to lead a fight against Nerotikan liberation of the chechen states but now, the man who was found cowering in a basement cellar of an apartment alone while his men outside gave their lifes to protect him has been captured without a single bullet fired by Rostran who even took to begging nerotikan forces to release him by claiming he was nothing but an old man who owned the building he was found it. Saddly for him he had information on his own person that gave him away and is now on a trasport to Voldagrad where he will stand before the council and recieve punishment for his war crimes against his own people.

Imperial Layartebian Military Tests ABM Interceptor
By Sgt. Mitchell Davis, ILN
http://www.opinionbug.com/wp-images/thaad_intercepts_scud_01272006.jpg
NORFOLK (ILMP) - Earlier this morning, the Imperial Layartebian Navy conducted its final test of the Crow anti-ballistic missile modification. The test, conducted in the North Atlantic Ocean, was met with resounding success. The target missile was destroyed by a single interceptor kill-vehicle and ushers in full operational capability for the navy's advanced anti-ballistic missile tier defense, which uses a modification of the Crow surface-to-air missile for the task.
The Crow surface-to-air missile was introduced in early 2001 following the retirement of the PATRIOT PAC-4 missile. Subsequent modifications of the missile have allowed it to be used on surface vessels in replacement of the Standard SM-4 and SM-6 missiles. When introduced in 2004, the RIM-188E Crow replaced the Standard SM-3 Block IIB missiles, seen in service throughout both the Navy and Defense Forces.
The RIM-188E Crow test was a live-fire exercise conducted against an unnamed intermediate-range ballistic missile that was launched from a sea-based platform. The missile traveled some 2,000 miles before it was intercepted by a missile launched from an Unforgiven class cruiser. Though certified for operational readiness in early 2005, this tests marks the end of the current development program, which aimed to give the Crow the ability to intercept both ICBMs and IRBMs. Further details were not forthcoming.

Check out Yanitaria's Military Calculator (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=568551). I am hoping he adds v2.1 or higher soon but it is a good tool that can be used to judge just how much of a military you can support. I would recommend putting in, for population, your capped population and scaling down your overall budget to whatever % of your main population your capped is, or something to that effect, so you can get an accurate portrayal. My military size of 16,500,000 and my capped population of 1,325,000,000 really allow me a very large area of leeway. My country can support such a massive population of military budgetary alone it isn't funny but what fun is that :).

Elsirder adjusted his tie as he prepared to step out before the gauntlet of camera flashes and questions he was sure to recieve. Pausing to take a drink of water he adjusted his suit and stepped out across the platform to a large podium bearing the crest of the chancellery on the front.
Behind Elsrider stood two flags one was the Republic's own the other belonging to the Commonwealth of Hirgizstan
Elsrider began, his voice calm and full with a familiar confidence which had been lacking following the Cottish incursion.
"Citizens of the Republic, today it is my great honor to announce that the Imperial Republic and the commonweath of Hirgizstan have entered into a free trade agreement.
This closed door agreement also includes a 400 billion per annum payment to Hirgiszstan in exchange for the commonwealth to provide the Republic with all of her military equipment."
Elsrider then turned exiting the stage giving no attention to the questions being thrown at him from the mass of reporters below him

Start an RP to put back your land (the original amount) and if you seem committed then you can claim the rest. I only say this because there have been a lot of claim & runs lately and it's a pain in the butt to do all of these map/claim changes.

100 Initial Fighters. All based out of the Mogoton mountain, small arms, but they have a cache of higher-grade explosives like C4. Basically I was planning on attack the highways near (since I can't find the names.) San Juan, Honduras, San Diego, Honduras, Las Limas, Honduras, and El Guineo, Honduras. Oh wait, found the names.
(The One attacked)
Chinandega-Honduras
Another One
Carretera Pavimentada Principial
Third...
Yalacaguina-Honduras
Last...

Okay that's definitely better. You see I don't want to commit to something half-assed. Here's my history though of Nicaragua (not fully developed yet but here's the synopsis). "In 1995, Honduras and Nicaragua fell in a very bloody and fast paced set of wars." So it is entirely possible that there remains some sort of resistance in a way in that particular area. Venezuela is more the hotspot for resistance but after the last bout, that's thoroughly crushed to living hell. There are some things to know though, particularly about the region. The Yucatan area up north in Mexico was a major hotspot for resistance some time ago but again that was crushed pretty hard. My influence on the area is rather strong and the Caribbean Sea is pretty much my backyard but there is a growing amount of piracy in the seas there that is being dealt with by my forces more and more regularly. There's a number of military facilities in Nicaragua from naval and air force to army bases and those are pretty well secure. Mountains are a good region to fight from but I warn you that my forces have extensive mountain training and I have specialized units capable of mountain fighting (i.e. like the 10th Mountain Division IRL but more specialized and larger). I want to let you know all of these capabilities so you can't say I'm either godmodding or wanking. The chances of you getting some sort of successful breakaway are very slim. The best place that you could find anti-Layartebian resistance would be like Mato Grosso or even Amazonas and Roraima, the last two I control. The last two HATE my guts and there has been "Iraq" there since I invaded. Mato Grosso isn't mine but I dealt with that place like Israel-Lebanon in 2006 and came out with a draw. I've also wanted to set Amazonas & Roraima free from my control and you've had a lot a much better chance there. Allies to supply you? Well Pushka, Nero without a doubt are not my allies so they'll give you whatever you need probably so long as its clandestine (I think). IF they want to go outright supply it might risk them being at war with me but you never know. BHR also who knows he was going to go socialist, which would have put him against me. Your call.

Well, currently I think that them helping a hundred man orginization would be small, so my leaders would probably want to build up strength and their name. It's probably going to stay small to reduce the chances of your troops finding me, since i.e. like the RL 10th Mountain Division anyone who wants to know about the special units will find out about them, and I personally think my leaders are smart enough to look into the public archives of the military in the nation. But, this isn't about beating you anywhere, this is about my national pride and how I'm going to try my best to beat your ass with the smallest shit forces there are. :D

Well most of the units aren't top secret organizations although I have to say details of my military stats, though all posted online, for the most part remain not fully disclosed. It's sort of like how difficult it is to find out about China's military because they keep it all hush hush but, overall, a lot of stuff is known although not the full details of such. My SOF and BOF on the other hand basically are VERY classified as are my more advanced weapon systems but just letting you know you would have a lot better chance with Amazonas & Roraima and I do want to give those away to someone who actually has a good RP for them.

Seeing as I am a "emerging nation" it would make sense for me to miss a season. I was inquiring for later admission thank you though
Congrats Philadelphia on your championship- you guys deserve it. Man I wish I could be down there right now- it's got to be some party tonight.
The best part of the Phillies' acceptance speech had to have been when Phillies CEO (I think) Jim Montgomery did the honourable thing and congratulate the Tampa Bay Rays for being a worthy opponent. As soon as he said "I'd like to congratulate the Tampa Bay Rays..." the Philly crowd started booing. I laughed and thought, "only in Philadelphia".
Still, the game was kind of short though- two and a half innings isn't a baseball game. Over quickly though, which was nice.
So now that the Curse of William Penn is over, can we work on the Chicago Cubs now? This is getting embarassing...

Well I can tell you that his nation wasn't communist when he was here. A long, long, long time ago he was but he hasn't been for some time now. Much of his weaponry was a mix though between eastern and western bloc influences but he combined them both into his own unique mix. He had very advanced tanks though, check out the ST-47 and stuff, very advanced weapon systems.

Can anyone here explain to me how the Canadian colleges work? Cause I've tried talking to several directly and non paint me a clear picture. Most importantly since Im a bit short on funds and am going to have to work full time while going to school part-time are there Community Colleges in Canada or equivalent of them? I found the main Ontario college site and asked them the question, they won't reply for a few days and time is of the essence here. If anyone knows please shoot me a TG and there will be cookies for you and your family once I migrate to the mysterious Northern wilderness that is Toronto.

I don't understand what's confusing you...I always thought our schooling system was pretty straightforward.
In any case, there isn't a University or a College that I know that *doesn't* offer their studies part-time. It's just a matter of applying.

Open Sea, Deep Within The Artic Circle
The two modified Sukhoi Su-35BM's were flying North-NorthEast at aproximately Mach 1.15. They were on a scientific experiment over the Artic Ice Cap, along the horizon was the sun, it had risen half an hour before, ending 6 months of summer. They were using highly sophisticated equipment to make a highly detailed map of the ice cap that they would use to track human's impact on global warming. The two aircraft would travel 1000 km NNE then make a turn back toward home. Multiple many of missions would be made like this and by the end of the summer, all off the Nehrlandish Part of the Ice Cap would be mapped.
The aircraft started the turn toward home, when one of the pilots spotted something, "What do you reckon the boys are doing today?" He had spotted small ships on their 12 o'clock, on the horizon. "Reckon we go check it out?" he asked.
"Lets show them what real flyboys are like." The two aircraft dived toward the surface, barely 50 feet from the surface they leveled off. They appeared to skim across the top of the waves. They would fly in between the ships, trying to scare the sailors.

Seeing that we have a lack of smaller active nations, which is a very unfortunate thing in nation states. Everyone wants to be the big guy, and then we lose the great story play of small nations. I was thinking at some point we could have some of us RP a situation much like what is going on in Congo now. We could have different factions dueling for power, or land, or something. Maybe a few of us could bring our nations into play in the story. Something different then the over played Iraq like situations, and better quality then the usual land takeover threads which seem to be rushed and low quality. It’s a rough Idea; it may only sound good in my head, I'm not sure, just spit balling.
Hmm, like a collapsed government situation aka Somalia. Also I play a somewhat smaller nation since im just Alaska.

Thats true, yet the benefit with Rping a country that belongs to no one is that people dont worry about losing their land. Therefor it makes the rp better.

Remember this that the Brazilian territories of Amazonas and Roraima loathe the Empire and I eventually want give those away (preferably to a newbie-newbie) but only through RP. They could be a proverbial thorn in my side.

You'd make zero cash from diamond mines, at least on the export market. Myself and USB are well established there- lowest prices, biggest yields. We own it.
Plus, as Trist pointed out, diamond mines are not that profitable in real terms, especially if the companies doing the exploiting are state run entities, which they would need to be to see returns to the Defense Budget to enable you to buy the SSN's in the first place.

I heard about limb re-growth ages ago- that story was on the news over here about a month ago. Pretty amazing stuff. Although controlling a computer with your mind- not much point unless its military. I tried voice dictation software once, that was fun for about three minutes until I realised it didn't work.

The state will be opening the Ukrainian part of the Eurasian line with a single condition, a small tax for the buisinesses/nations which use the line primarily. This tax is necissary for the Ukrainian territorial government to upkeep the protection of the line and progress toward stabilization. I have to say that this is unnegotiable, the CSN does not have the federal budget alone to stabilize and protect its Ukrainian territory after OA occupation and the collapse of the fourth reich completely destablized the territory. The amount taxed, however, will be open for negotiation and those affected are asked to share opinions on the matter.

As push said, that's not negotiating...but I can honor your determination to seem threatening. If you wish your trade to go through tax-free it will also go through unprotected, we cannot allow Hirg troops into our territory as bodyguards for the obvious reasons and without pay im sure the ukrainian guards will refuse watch over anything from the hirg state. So your choice is your choice but when shit hits the fan it will still be your choice and the CSN and Ukrainian officials refuse any blaim for what might come.
Lay, we can allow your own personal security detail but we cannot allow armored support into the area if that is what might have been on your mind. You will have full support from the Ukrainian armored battalions if they are needed but for the most part no intelligance has given us a slight bit of fear that rebel insurgents have any sort of armor themselves. Ukrainian infantry will be on call if they are needed.
Also the money gained will split to support the line itself.

Your a bit paranoid Push. I don't really care if people are afraid or not, I would say probably not- this is just a game.
I didn't mean I would invade or something. I'm just not paying.
Nero, I will arm the convoys sufficiently- no official military personnel but the people on the convoys will be armed and any molestation will be treated very seriously.

Announcement from the Russian Federation
Since the details of Chukotka-Alaska Line Project have been finalized we would like to call a summit of all partner nations of the Great Eurasian Line as well as nations of North and South America, to discuss the Great Global Trade Line project that with the completion of CALP will become a possibility. The goal of the summit would be to discuss ways of expanding the infrastructure of the Great Eurasian Line into the Americas and form the base regulatory and trade agreements to manage the new trade network. All interested parties address your plans to attend the summit to Russian Federation Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The location of the summit is still being decided on.

Pushka, I did some reading on the Bering Strait thingy and that 1968 proposal. Here's an idea of cost today based on inflation.
What cost $4,000,000,000 in 1968 would cost $23,596,305,931.15 in 2007. A recent proposal for one between Putin-Bush (that recent) is about $66 billion it says. Obviously ours would cost a hell of a lot more because it'd be bigger and much more advanced. This is perhaps a $1 trillion + project just for the tunnel itself. I think the whole Great Eurasian Line cost between 2 and 4 trillion.

I guess me and Bry can seek additional funding at the GGTL summit in exchange for ownership of part of the Company that will manage construction and once completed the operation of the project, I guess heads of all major corporations in the world that might be interested should also be invited for part of the Summit they might be interested in investing. Thats if we want to be realistic, otherwise the two of us can just give the money and pretend that trillion USD is pocket change.

ATTENTION
If you are interested in purchasing the Ra class patrol corvette (http://z4.invisionfree.com/NSDraftroom/index.php?showtopic=4968) you can do so from the Layartebian Defense Corporation - Export Division (http://z4.invisionfree.com/NSDraftroom/index.php?showforum=43) for the cost of $365 million per hull. Details are within and production can begin immediately.
Ra Class Patrol Corvette Approved For Export
By Julie Doherty, Press Department, LDC
The Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Foreign Affairs have officially given the approval to the Layartebian Defense Corporation to export the Ra class patrol corvette. Coming after months of deliberation, both Ministries have worked with experts and project managers to to tailor the Ra for export purposes. Because of the significant technological advances in the Ra class and its use of classified technology, experts and project managers have developed the Flight II model of the Ra class, which is fully available for export.
Domestic production of the Ra is expected to be for 116 hulls, a contract valued at §28,233,319,345.36. These hulls will fully replace existing Leopard Flight II and Vindicator Flight II class patrol corvettes. The Ra will join the Druid, Raef, and Vigiliant classes in the Imperial Layartebian Defense Forces with the first deployments coming to the Caribbean Sea, where piracy has been on a rise in the past two years.
Export production is expected to begin immediately with initial offerings for between 30 and 40 hulls at a unit cost of $365 million each.

I was going for a demon's skull, originally it was a human skull though.

And thats why no one should ever trade land with Cot. Common Nero, its like you tripping over the same ditch over and over. Some people just can't be trusted, period.
Cot, you get bastard points for renaming Nevsky Prospekt.

I nearly got cleaned on my bike today!! I was running up to 30mph in a 30 zone and was in the outermost of a 2 lane road. I see this silver Mercedes SUV waiting at a side road and thought, since I was so close to them, there was no way they'd pull out. WRONG! FAIL! Stupid bitches pulled out right in front of me and I nearly do a superman over their hood, thank God for my brakes and slow speed! Scared the hell out of me though, my heart was racing. I gave them the finger as I got round them and then stopped trying to get my stalled bike back down the gears and I'm screaming "YOU NEARLY FUCKING KILLED ME YOU STUPID BITCH!" All the passenger can say is "You were going too fast!" Oh yeah, coz 30 in a 30 zone is WAAAY too fast. I was raging, took ages to calm down. Stupid fucking drivers everywhere.
Pushka, looks it would be better for Wales to be the site of the Alaskan part since it's closer to Russia and therefore cheaper..

So cows = demons in Pushka? :O
I fail to see why you're so upset about me pimping my new city. It's going to be a center for economy, arts and culture, and Pushkan businesses will probably also be allowed in there if they ask the government nicely. Surely that is worth me renaming, well, pretty much everything that sounds Russian to something a bit more friendly to my western European ears :p

Works for me, Im planning on starting a new city around this project so I can really start it anywhere along the coast. It'll start out as a city for the workers and than eventually turn into Vegas type deal. Novo-Peterburg is what Im going to call it. Legal gambling and all the good stuff, something for the truck drivers and railway workers as well as tourists to look forward to than hopping continents.

Ah common, it doesn't look that much like a cow, proportion wise its somewhat human.

Its called Nevsky Prospekt because river Neva flows right through the middle of it! Neva btw was originally a Finno-Urgic/Scandinavian word, which is to say it should sound just right to your Northern European ears. Just please, leave Prospekt Prosveshenya be. Cot imagine if I had your hometown in my possession and renamed it Severograd or Snegograd, or Norwegoseveromorsk, or Severomorsknorwegosnegograd, or Muhaiobsk (I made myself lul).

Thats fucked up, a couple of months ago I was driving next to this van that had all its backside windows patched up in advertisements. It was driven by a Mexican, the fucker all the sudden tried to move into my lane without seeing me, I had to hit the breaks so he didn't hit me on the side, we were going about 70 mph on a highway. I haven't cussed in Russian that much in a long time, the asshole just pissed me the fuck off.

Well my suggestion was one that I have made previous times before. It is one of increased realism. We've all talked about it but I'd like to unite as a group of gamers here and work to its eventual use. I am talking increased realism on resource fronts, public loyalty, economy.
Currently war in EII is a trivial matter waged at the wave of a hand. The effects on the economy, enviornment, and treasury would be dramatic. This along with increased levels of resources would create an EII version of globalization that would force dipolomacy and add a new layer. What EII is missing is third world states in which superpowers battle for loyalty (ie China and the US battling not with weapons but with money over South America, Central Asia, and North Africa).
It would require players to lose some of their glory as they would need to show signs of weakness (ie Hirgy) while also forcing players to take a more interactive role in EII (ie Mariamia). It would also even the playing field taking away the advantage of a pact like TOA (let's be honest that alliance is the number one killer of activity on EII) because the economy would count for more than an over-inflated military.

I like the idea. We could even ask some E20 people for help since that is what they did. OK used to be a part of it, he'll probably know of some people who could help. I'm interested to hear what other people think.

The biggest killer of activity here is RL. People all have lives, often busy. I personally don't know if I have time to change things as dramatically as suggested. Its a decent idea, for sure, but with two large and active RPs going right now I am stretched to my limit on time. The proposal is most definetly something we should look into but Christmas is next month and people will be gone for that so I reckon it would be something to get stuck into in the New Year- maybe start an OOC Thread or something offline so we can talk extensively. I really like the idea about economics and resources- the old Bjornoyan International Stock Exchange was a real help in dealing with that- there was a world-wide economic crash and everything. Those are things we could probably do sooner, the other things would come later.<My 2 cents.
PS: I also reckon I do have weaknesses. Geographical location for one. Unlike some my stuff is split in two large chunks. I have some other problems too, nobody here is perfect or infallible.

Actually I got it working but I realized that the mod files were overwritten so I have to rewrite them. Upload in progress now. Maybe another 30 minutes if this cures it, otherwise I haven't a fucking clue.
I'm going to be experimenting with phpBB3 soon so I hope to make a change to the site in 2009 and relaunch it (since I didn't do it in 2008 and I have, in the past, done it once a year).
EDIT @ 21:00, yeah maybe more time, I have to restore the whole database. :: cross your fingers ::

Alright, so i've compiled a small tid-bit of info to update you guys.
A new factbook will be coming out to update all the info about the C.S.N., im having a bit of trouble with the military section as I usually do when I do factbooks so it may take longer then I had hoped. I have written a constitution outlining the new government of the state, The federal council will be redirected and will become the Council of State. I introduce another congressional council, the Senatorial Council, as well as a presidential position known as The Federal Official to oversee the two congress houses. In these changes i've put in a Prime Minister position who will oversee the various public ministries and the state-ran utility buisinesses (electricity, sewage, garbage, internet [Not state-watched, provided...dont get the wronge idea like im blocking websites or anything...the state provides a cheaper internet buisness compared to indepent ones, thats all])
So here's it in short, the rundown of whats new in Nerotikan government.
The Federal Official - Presidential position, Top Foreign Diplomat who presides over the congressional houses.
The Council of State - Presides over Public Legal Affairs
The Senatorial Council - Presides over Federal Legal Affairs
The Prime Minister - "CEO" of Public Ministries and State Companies
Im despratly trying to be more democratic here, if you would be so kind cotland...you can stop calling me a communist now...were just a wee bit socialist is all

Hey Lay, I don’t mean to be annoying about this, but I was wondering if we could say Louisiana has been taken over by FR. I have been worrying in the back of my head about becoming landlocked, which would restrict trade for my nation significantly. Thanks for your time.

Happy Thanksgiving to the Americans. I think I'll be the only one in US working today.
Anyways Im going to be making a factbook and a lot of changes to my nation, I think its time for it to grow since its now a much more multi-ethnic nation compared to then I started it. Plus I need to do the new military ORBAT. This will be my new anthem:
