OOC: The Ministry

Automagfreek

OOC: THIS IS TOTALLY OOC!!!!

Seeing as alot of the old Ministry nations are starting to die off, it is time once again for me to begin recruiting for an alliance so secret none of you even knew it existed.

The Ministry is a secret brotherhood, in fact so secret that nobody except Ministry nations know who is in it. I will say this however, ALOT of very powerful and influential nations are in it, and we operate very far under the radar.

So far The Ministry has purchased The Resi Corporation and begun buying up other weapons manufacturers, in turn earning The Ministry trillions. The Ministry has no charter and no rules, except for one: the survival of all Ministry members is paramount. Nothing is more important than a Ministry nation's duty to a brother nation.

So, if you think your nation is badass enough, influential enough, and ready for something of this calibur, then post here saying why you should be let in. There is no official admission process in The Ministry, but instead a 'Don't call us, we'll call you.' policy.

If a nation catches my fancy, I will contact you in private. And no, this isn't another 'AMF bootlicking' alliance, this is a brotherhood in which we are all equal, but I just happen to be the only known mouthpiece for.

Do not TM me to inform me of your interest, I will not respond!

Just for the hell of it, here's why I should be let in.

1) I Godmod like hell.
2) My RP's often consist of little except me constantly bitching about people either not participating or how they RP like crap.
3) My Storefront sells ships that do not include vital statistics. Many ships have neither their size, mass, crew size, weaponry numbers, or even how capable they are in their description.
4) I am a Grammar Nazi, often berating people for the simplest of spelling errors.
5) I spent almost no time on developing and constructing my ships & technology, yet still claim they are properly introduced into the IC Universe and insult those who do the same as I.
6) I often request information from other players then completely disregard everything they say.
7) I frequently contradict myself on my RP history, one day saying I have never been in any wars and the next saying I was the starter and victor in Galactic War I.
8) Though I have more than 9,000 posts on the NS forums, the majority are single line posts almost always in an OOC fashion.
9) I give no thought to the other players on NS, my actions are based purely upon an urge to have my own fun and damn the rest of the world.
10) I have an unnatural fascination with cheese that can be seen in almost all my RP's.

Yet after all that I still have a reputation as a powerful Space Nation, I am regarded as being equal with the highest and most capable of Role-Players, and I am even used as a reference point for what a quality NS player should be. Quite often I am credited with being the one to truly start Space Tech, that my Galactic Alliance (Which was and still is the largest Alliance to ever grace Space NS) is what transformed Space into a largely unused section of Role-Play into a viable source for IC exploration and control.

Thank you, and have a nice day.

With the quality of interest here, plus the level of posting done by various repliers, I feel that I am not worthy of being in thie Ministry. That combined with my feeling that I do not have the required amount of influence needed for such an exaulted position makes me feel like this is a waste of time. However on the off-chance that you consider me for application, I am a fairly good RPer, depending on who you use as a guideline, and have a fairly good storefront that might or might not be useful for you.

Anyways, whether you choose me or not, I'm interesting in this Ministry either way.

Ministry?

This wouldn't be the same group as Ministry from PA would it?

The same sort of thing, secret alliance with members that trascend alliance boundaries etc. The same model was copied later by the other major alliances when they moved out to other games from PA.
Momanguise
18-11-2004, 12:56
ooc: Well, just because I can (and obviously because I want too), here is my statement of entry.

Momanguise, a nation of undoubted potential, yet never truely recognised for what it is. In her distant history, when her population was not even a bare one hundred million, fourght in the battle for the twin cities. When Camewot, a young nation smaller than Momanguise herself came under attack from an army of powerful imperialists, who seized the port town of the Burning City and marched upon Camewot's second city, the Twin Cities. The alliance constituted some of the more powerful nations of the day, Gothernburg-Frank and Unified Sith being two examples. Momanguise, then a struggling nation with a failing economy dispatched a force of fifty thousand soldiers to the Twin Cities to defend Camewot from domination, and in a miracle of tactics and improvisation the MEF was able to inflict massive damage upon the attacking forces and was able to hold the enemy back until substancial aid arrived and the city was saved. Ultimately, the RIA, a powerful alliance, was never able to muster the forces to attack another nation and riddled with infighting it collapsed soon after.

Momanguise then entered a period of prosperity, her economy stabalised and she became a more respected member of the international community. Until the democratic leadership of Ernesto Sanchez she opposed the brutal regime of Fascist White States, and ultimately took part in the invasion and final sacking of that said country. She next came to international prominance with the Dr_Twist civil war, where she half-heartedly supported the communist government, but was made uneasy by civil rights abuses by her supposed allies. Ultimately, General Franklin of Dr_Twist launched chemical weapons against Automagfreek Greece, and it was only the timely intervention of the MPSA (Momanguise Peoples Security Agency) who captured and executed the fleeing Franklin which helped to avert a serious war. Momanguise called for an immediate cease fire, which was respected by all sides. During this incident, Momanguise had left the RBA in disgust at the autocratic and incompetant leadership of that said alliance.

War again threatend Europe, with the forces of Guffingford threatening Europe, Momanguise again half heartedly hounered the commitment towards her ally Dr_Twist. Ultimatelty this incident came to nothing.

Momanguise was again to demonstrate her plucky courage when she opposed the Russian invasion of Azerbaijan, and was able to secure a free non-soviet state.

Now however, a new leader has arisen. Koda, the Ruin of Ages has deposed the democratic government and implanting his own philosophy upon the nation, Ideocracy. Momanguise, never defeated in war, has changed beyond measure, and few know now how her future will progress.

OOC- Ooohhh....I knew all along that there was an alliance of super powerful nations.

And now, a short post on why I should be considered for the...err, the organization I guess.

Samtonia wasn't all that active on the old NS, but as of this point, we've managed to start racking up quite a credibility for, hopefully, "good" RPs. Now, a note on IC reasons as to why Samtonia should be considered:

-Consistently in the top 300 for economic rankings
-Excellent defensive fighter, probably among the five best defense rings in NS.
-Active member in multiple alliances, showing we can be trusted
-Massive arms production and uranium sectors

And OOC reasons:
-Good posting record (No godmods, flames, etc...)
-Level-headed RPer (No rushing into things, including insults)
-Pretty Good RPer(No number-wanks, steadily improving storytelling ability)

Those are the best reasons I can think of off-hand. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. Otherwise, thank you for your time and consideration.

It should be known that King Michael McLeod has expressed an interest in this mysterious "Ministry", but feels that if we are not well enough know that we must provide evidence of our 'superiority' as certain other nations had already, then the 'Ministry' was perhaps not as all-knowing as they were made out to be.
Sarzonia
18-11-2004, 15:57
Sarzonia has developed a reputation over the past few months as a country that will stand up for its ideals when challenged to do so.

*It was the first of three countries to declare war against Holy Panooly in reaction to a campaign of ethnic cleansing.

*It prepared a massive invasion of Challenger II when that country planned to eradicate its gay population. That invasion never took place because Challenger II rescinded its anti-gay policies.

*It dealt some of the biggest blows to Socialist_Cockroaches after that country launched an unjustified attack against Roach-Busters.

*It stood down a larger foe on several occasions: in Cam III when that country declared an unjustified war against Nellisland, against Haukka when that country threatened Isselmere-Nieland, and versus Sdaeriji when that country was found to have supplied Sarzonia's colony in Branwyn with weapons. It also stood with Praetonia against CorpSac when the latter country made unjustified threats against it.

*Sarzonia also convinced Roach-Busters to rescind its policies that jeopardized human rights with one well-placed phone call. It also secured the withdrawal from theatre of Roach-Busters in the McQuaide-Generic Empire conflict without firing a single shot.

Sarzonia is currently President of the Victoria Alliance and is a member of NATO.

Euroslavia
19-11-2004, 02:49
Euroslavia shows an interest in becoming part of this Ministry. Here are a few reasons why we should be allowed in.

*Euroslavia is a very experienced diplomatic nation, having solved conflicts within its own region, the Kingdom of the Midlands.

*We have taken initiative to create a Medical Alliance to benefit those who don't have anything, especially those of 3rd world countries.

*Euroslavia is a member of the Congressional Board within NATO (well, obviously you know this), and continuously interacts with the other Members to efficiently help lead NATO.

*Military-wise, Euroslavia dealt with Goldana and Ulan Baator at the same time, which at the time, were both nations were close to equal in population, making their combined forces, twice the size of Euroslavia itself. Both nations were swiftly defeated, and in turn, the nations fell victim to the 28 day cold (They got deleted for inactivity).

*Euroslavia was victorious over Nikolaos the Great in their invasion of our territory, during our civil war, despite our forces being severely limited.

*Has never deserted, or forgotten an ally when they were severely in need. Alliances hold the most importance within Euroslavia, and we don't plan on ever forgetting our friends.

*Became the first nation to put Generic Empire' citizens in trial in foreign territory, due to their actions that violated Euroslavic law. We gained the support of countless nations, and in turn, they released our unjustly captured citizens, while we sentenced their criminals.

*We will not back down, and will do whatever it takes to gain victory, whether it be through politics or military.

*EDIT: We're also a member of GDODAD.

Please note that President Kenny Williams of IDF is very interested in this alliance. We stand by our record as an active participant in NATO and a strong supporter of our allies when they are in need. Seeing as how the alliance is built around the survival of all of its members we would be good members. After all, the vast majority of IDF's wars are wars where we joined to protect an ally in danger. We will continue to do this if we are a member of The Ministry.

McLeod03 is an active member of several large alliances already committed to bettering ther members, including the New World Order. We would like to see better relations between the NWO and the NATO members, especially since we are allied to many members of NATO through the CAP, OMP, and the AGP.

We also work towards bettering the whole human race through ongoing research into new medical treatments as agreed through our membership of the United Medical Alliance. This aim of protecting our allies and innocent civilians has brought us into contact with many hostile nations, and as of yet, we have not lost a war, but always managed to negotiate a peace treaty.

I take then your not the same Ministry. Shame, if you had been it would have been fun to look up some of my old enemies. :)

But to be quite honest, I doubt an alliance like 'ministry' in all seriousness is any different to any other major alliances on here, all it lacks is a public face and public wars. It can't do much else, which a usual alliance can't do :)

Schultaria Prime
19-11-2004, 17:15
The Nation of Schultaria Prime is most interested in this development, but considers its status in the international community to be of such a reduced level as to not be entirely sure of even a consideration of admission. Nonetheless, our government would be more than honored if our name was even remotely considered by the nations composing The Ministry.

-----

*SECURED TRANSMISSION: (AAUTH: SKEDEX-1159EX)*

FROM: SID-8, LOCATION CLASSIFIED

A personal statement from Central Director Elliot Schultz


"I make this secure transmission directed to the nations of 'The Ministry' via encoded attachment to this otherwise droll response thanks to the people of SID-8. If the membership of ‘The Ministry’ is listening to this message, and I hope you are, you should know that Schultaria Prime has only taken the initiative on such viable resources when we believe that we can prove to be of worth.

Our nation does not like to involve itself in military matters, save for the defense of its justified and rightly negotiated national boundaries. We do not see the diplomacy of the sword as the first option, nor do we ever envision ourselves as formidable military powers in the near future, although we will resort to more 'extreme' measures in the case of 'extreme' national threats. As a side note, our policy on nuclear weaponry reflects this reality; if war was to ever reach our waters it would be met with the fires of ten thousand suns strewn across the water.

But I digress, Schultaria Prime is not a warring nation, and I believe that this is our strongest point for admission into 'The Ministry'. Our country is a nation of builders, scientists, intellectuals, and other progressive peoples wholly committed to spreading the advancement of knowledge and understanding to those willing to learn. This is probably best exemplified in the laboratory complex of Eldaimovey; the wonders contained in this facility could bring untold prosperity to the world. Our scientific resources are without parallel in the fields of civil engineering, and our international policies have offered our nation a reasonable buffer from the baser intrigues of some of the more imperialist nations scattered across the globe.

In Schultarian, there's a saying that I think best sums up the qualities of our nation: 'Ain allnea natontati asufa kerga, signai natontati camasai cronceah.' (In all the nations suffering war, one nation must be the builders.) This has been the closest thing to a self-fulfilling prophecy in Schultaria Prime. In an increasingly unstable climate of wonton destruction and careless international policies, we have taken it upon ourselves to serve as the builders of society and a model of logical advancement.

We know that the same storm's brewing on the horizon, but it's a different animal from the ones of the past. When the dogs of war are once again let loose and destruction has been inflicted across the land, our nation will be at the ready to rebuild the world."

Thank you for your time,

20-11-2004, 05:01
The Mikosolf Corporation finds strength both in its people, its economy, and its millitary. Though we can seem impersonal refering to our populace as 'worker drones' or by their employee number we find strenght in humanities ability to adapt to problems that arise, which is why we have some of the largest human run/monitored construction belt systems in the world. Furthermore any and all factories can be easily retrofitted to produce an innumrable number of goods, take our car lines, these can be easily converted within a day from making twenty thousand cars a day to making thousands of tanks.

We also find strenght in our profit driven economy, though only all-consuming we feel that we have enough profit margins stored up to surprise some 'frightening' nations economically.

Finally our millitary, 'wars are won upon the back of the infantryman' has always been our motto, and we stand behind it. Though technically all parts of the millitary are independent we have geared quite a few things to make each squad capable of doing almost any task from calling down cruise missiles to anti-tank weapons with only a small multi-frequency painter. Though rarely put to the test due to our current "we only care if we lose money" policy as well as the "wars are profibable, especially if your not in them" idea we feel that our millitary who continually undergoes rigourus training sims and computer-aided combat are ready to defend allies and the homefront.

*executes a few intelligence agents*

Anyway:

ic:

Bonstock would be somewhat interested in such an alliance. Though Bonstocknian policy usually involves a policy of not acting with alliances, we see that such an alliance might benefit us. Bonstock, though seen as a nuke-happy imperialist nation bent on subjugating the peoples of China, Korea, and Japan (with a degree of truth), is actually willing to work with alliances as they benefit us. We ask for permission to join such an alliance.

With all due respect,

Bonstocknian Department of Foreign Affairs
Bonstocknian Special Services, Foreign Intelligence Division
Riksdag of the Federal Republic

ooc:

Bonstock's RP record:

-War with Driesden in defense of White Tundra (heavy godmodding, first RP)
-1st Port Yuko rebellion (revolt settled with extreme force, all involved "terminated with extreme prejudice")
-Numerous anti-communist wars (troops deployed to everywhere with communist insurgants)
-Sniper Country kidnapping affair (Former Bonstocknian president kidnapped b Sniper Country, released after long, drawn out standoff)
-Allied with Tech Annihater for sole purposes of betraying him and taking over China (yes, it was all to take over China. I don't know if he understands that)
-Took over China after fall of Tech Annihater, withdrew after AMF pressure, defended Taiwan in long standoff, took over a small colony on the east coast of Taiwan (AMF, you probably remember this)
-Great Bonstocknian Civil War (long, drawn out conflict; rebels take over Bonstock proper, government withdraws to Maropian Coast, government defeats rebel fleet and eventually wins.)
-Japann War (Japann arms its military, Azn Resistance alliance attacks it, Bonstock joins them, attacks Tokyo, and declares intent not to leave; Bonstock violates Asian New Year Ceasefire in attempt to take over Japan; Azn resistance eventually overwhelms Bonstocknians with absolutly superior numbers, Bonstock becomes hated pariah)
-Lord Harald's war (300,000 Bonstocknians land on Okinawa only to find defeat; Lord Harald dies, then returns from Valhalla)
-Myanmar intervention (15,000 Bonstocknian troops attempt to secure Burma for Marimaian intervention force; Scandal involving the assault of a Burmese village by a Bonstocknian colonel for the purposes of surfing leads to Marimaian request for Bonstocknian withdrawl; Insurgants capture and murder 4 Bonstocknian soldiers; before withdrawing, Bonstock surrounds and massacres the entire population of Mergui, Burma (pop. approx 100,000), soldiers enslave youth, kill men, rape women, loot town for all it was worth, burning what they could not carry)
-Straits of Malacca conflict (Asian powers attack Bonstock for charging tolls for passage in Straits of Malacca; Bonstock loses overseas empire, Lord Harald dies with 300 Bonstocknians in futile defense of Maropian Coast against a Sinoese army 1000 times its size)
-Collapse of the Federal Republic, ensuing chaos (in progress)

21-11-2004, 19:22
>Token Newb Saying It Might Be Fun To Get In On This<

Godular isn't particularly large or influential in most cases, we freely admit this. Truth be told, its mainly because we like operating away from the limelight. Its all about keeping a low profile and using it to our advantage, really. Let everybody know that we deal with a whole bunch of frivolous issues every day and they likely won't pay much attention to the little blurb about a new battle fleet shipping out between reports of Godulan Health Ministers being shot dead for introducing repetitive issues and religious demographic shifts.

We like our invisibility. It means we can blame other people when we sucker punch the big guns, then sucker punch them again when they go after the scapegoats!

I suppose the only thing going for me beyond liking our lack-of-influence is a decent RP record. I can play multiple parts in an RP with relative ease, I know that RPing does not consist of doling out one sentence fleet orders, and I have at least a decent grasp on the english language (I spel gud! foniks wurkd fur mi!) so you won't see any l33tsp34k from me except in OOC posts where I'm making fun of it.

I likely have no chance of getting in, but truth be told I don't mind either way. We'll just keep going on being our own little anonymous hellion...

Oh well. Samtonia would humbly like to thank you for your time and simply ask that, if any more openings were to be made, in any regard, if you might simply keep us in mind.

And with that, I depart. Good luck to all nations still applying. We hope you get in and we certainly hope all nations in the Ministry remember to use their power sparingly, remeber how they begged to be let in, and remember the (I'm sure) fair process that was used to determine entry in case they themselves must do it in the future.

Again, thank you for your time and sorry for any wasted time Samtonia may have caused you.

I'll tell you why Karakas should be in the Ministry.

1) It doesn't RP on the NationStates forums. In fact, my record consists of something like 3 posts in one of Menelmacar's threads. The quiet ones are always the most dangerous.

2) The government has no qualms about anything. And I mean anything. Want some weaponized Ebola serum? How about weaponized snow cones?

3) The dude who owns Karakas lives in the same time zone as the Far East and so can do evil while American Ministry-ites are asleep. Efficiency plus!

4) I have reason to believe that I am invisible. Teachers tended not to see me in school, even when I was sitting in the front row and had my hand raised. That has nothing to do with Karakas' ability to be in the Ministry, but it's true.

Greetings, all.

I honestly do not think I am strong or well known enough to join this Ministry Alliance.

However, I have gotten some positive feedback regarding my RP'ing in Earth II, V, and custom weapons development. I also stood up to Decisive Action / Communist Mississippi during the Nazi Weaponized Virus invasion of Hataria Mammalia.

I was the first small nation to stand up aganist his raping and capturing nearly 50 million women to be used as sex slaves. I had approximately 10- 15 million people total (NS stats page) at that time. I avoided an outright war with him and the now defunct LOEL (League of Empire Loyalists).

Here's the two threads concerning this.

The first link is my first serious IC post in this thread. From that post onwards, I'll play an important role in the war in regards of humanitarian aid and such, as well as standing up to DA / CM who was easily 50x my size back then.

http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=6789990&postcount=121

Second link will bring you to my attempt to condemn CM / DA, and for a small 10 million population nation, I gathered some support of much larger nations aganist CM / DA.

http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=348908

I am willing to stand up for the less fortunate, willing to support friends, and also willing to go up aganist nations larger than myself.

If by some infinitesmal chance, I'm allowed into the Ministry, I will bring the same spirit of convinction and standing up for friends to the alliance. If I am not allowed in (most likely) I'll understand completely as I doubt I'm as well known or "super-power" like some of the 2002 and 2003 nations.

To put it simply, I allow my actions to speak for me, as words are just words. The saying "Talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?" comes to mind.

He did stand up to DA, though he failed in securing many of the lives he tried to secure. Alas, sometimes it is impossible to get every bit of an expedition to work out the way you want it to. You do own southern Hataria, no?

Ooc- You avoided a war because I liked you and didn't want to crush you. I'd never be able to live with myself if I crushed a small guy for no real reason. Anyway, you were obviously a good RPer from the get go, and crushing your ambitions and such would have cost NS a good RPer if you got discouraged and left. So it's important to keep in mind, when somebody is a good RPer, don't just go crush them for trivial reasons, you know?

ooc:Dracun although is a "democracy" as of "now" is a hardass when it comes to defending it's allies. We though don't have a diverse military have a strong and powerful one though not the best in the world of course. Although far from the title of a super power we still believe the ministry which may or may not exist would profit in some way. We are very sly, with our mouths so therefor we may be able to help you in situations in which you wish you weren't into though you probably can take care of that with your military lol. Plus were sweet talkers so we me be able to help you with stuff.
Please consider our "application" that may or may not exist

OOC:Mmmmmm.... no. He has some ability as a writer, but the ability to design and impliment is seriously impeded by his inability to escape a mindset. This is a serious problem. And "clever" is not the same as "great".
