Union of World Powers

Euroslavia
27-12-2004, 05:37
OOC: I'm going to keep this to a small amount of nations, so i'll admit, it's going to be very hard to get in. I'm also not only restricting this to nations that I get along with, unlike most alliances. I will look strictly at RP ability and national stability. Applications should be more than, "Nation A wishes to join the UWP." There should at least be a description of your nation, the government type, and why you would be a great asset to the Union.

The Union of World Powers is going to be modeled after the European Union. The UWP's principal task is to create an area of peace, freedom and prosperity by pooling resources in those areas of public policy where concerted action is best.

After the fall of the RWC and the disappearance of NATO, the world seemed even more unstable. In order to create some sort of stability in the world, a blessed Union would be formed. Not just a union of economical statistics, however, there are many more aspects of the Union.

Each applicant must also have a functioning market economy and the capacity to cope with competitive pressure and market forces within the Union, and to be capable of incorporating Community law into its own body of legislation. This means major adjustments to its institutions and administrative structures. The negotiations with each applicant country relate to the whole body of Community laws and regulations.

Each future member of the UWP will have a specific number of seats within the Parliament, depending on their population. The number will be determined later, after a few nations are accepted.

I thought that the RWC was still around, just not as it used to be.

Am I seriously wrong about this?

I'm very interested in this one, I recently got into some very near future tech stuff (5 years) so this looks good.Of course, being me I won't be let in.

Ankhmet would bring HISTORY to this alliance. Ankhmet has many years of experince with one kind of government.The Empire has existed for over 4,000 years with no change of government, without even a change in the royal dynasty.As such, Ankhmet is very stabl. We would also bring a liberal viewpoint to this, as many states that get involved in these are somewhat conservative.

Chellis is interested in such a Union, however, we are not sure that we can agree to have our national policies decided by a popular decision. We would be willing to agree and submit to certain things, but we would need to know just how penetrating these would be to current chellian laws, etc. We are fine with complying with things that deal with international policies, etc, but are not sure how much we would be willing to bend on personal policies.

Our name and reputation should really speak for ourselves. One of the strongest nations in the world, we have not had a successful revolution since the one over 500 years ago, and that was right after we were formed. We have one of the strongest economies in the world, and Euroslavia should realize the power we hold, from our knowing each other in NATO, that we are one of the most potent forces in the world.
The Evil Overlord
27-12-2004, 07:49
The Dominion would consider such an association, provided that membership did not interfere with the internal activities of Evil Overlord Enterprises or infringe upon the Dominion's sovereignity.

Evil Overlord Enterprises has major trade links around the globe, although primarily concentrated in the Pacific Rim. The Dominion also has a history of supporting (and enforcing) free trade and free passage of neutral shipping through international waters.

Sarzonia expresses some interest in a Union of World Powers; however, we have some reservations about any alliance that would infringe upon national soverignty after our experience in NATO.

Our national government has been centered on the idea of representative democracy since our inception as a country and we have a market economy that is strictly monitored by our government to prevent any company from being too powerful. We make some allowances for companies that have a worldwide scope, such as the Portland Iron Works.

Our record on civil rights makes us a world leader in the category of ensuring full freedom and equality for all of our citizens. We believe our record speaks for itself should you reconsider your stance on issues that would compromise national soverignty.

Thank you for your time.

Risban
27-12-2004, 08:08
The Empire of Risban would like to join the Union of World Powers. Whilst we are fairly new compared to some other nations, we are a very active member of global politics. Risban is a member of several alliances already (such as the NWO, Committee of Vigilance, OPEC, Pacific Rim Alliance, Empire of One, and a few others), and has good relations with nearly every other nation whom we have interacted with. We have tight alliances with several nations, and have an abundance of Non-Aggression Pacts and trade contracts with many more.
Concerning trade, Risban has a very strong economy and a decent export list, with our main manufactued item being Automobiles, closely followed by Information Technology and Basket Weaving. Our top three businesses are the Scorpius Corporation, the Zorag Company, and Risban Automotive Industries.
The United Nations currently classifies Risban as a Father Knows Best State, though we are often called Iron Fist Consumerists as well. Citizens rarely pay a tax over 10%, and enjoy some civil rights. The UN calls our leader a "benevolent dictator who allows the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches closely for anyone to slip up." Our population at the time of this message was 203 million citizens.
-The Government, though going through a slight militant rebellion a little while ago, is extremely stable now. Our police force helps make sure things stay calm at all times.
As for what we would bring to this Union... Much about what was previously stated concerning Risban's trade and economy, as well as our relations with many other nations and alliances, should prove to be an ample example of our excellence in Foreign Affairs and membership of large organizations. With our political and economic ties, our negotiating abilities, and our economy, we would be able to be of great service to this union. Our economy as remained Strong or above ever since our nation was formed.
Concerning Community Law: the Empire of Risban would be more than happy to obey laws set down by the Union so long as they do not hinder our nation's economy and military.
With that said, we look forward to hearing your response.

Sincerely,
Alexander Perkins, Imperial High Minister of Foreign Affairs
-Emperor Robinson A. Scorpius-




OOC: And concerning RP ability, I feel fine stating that I believe I am at least a decent Role-Player. Whilst the whole Tunisian debacle was a minor set-back, one must remember that 'twas my first time acquiring territory on NationStates. And I attempted to remedy the problem by creating enemy forces, having someone play two seperate viewpoints in the Tunisian government, and starting a slight war between Risban and the rebels.
If you need examples of other role-plays I have participated in on these forums, feel free to ask and I shall provide them to you.

Parlim
27-12-2004, 08:41
Headline: Parlim Applies to the Union of World Powers

An aging man, now well past severty steps up to the podium. He is Jackson Maverick, President of Parlim. Despite his age, he is still very much full of life. He smiled, fatherlike, at the thousands of people gathered below him, and turned on the microphone.

"Today, on behalf of myself, the representitives, and the people, the Horizon Democratic Republic of Parlim applies to join the Union of World Powers.

The crowd cheered.

"We have grown strong these many years, I feel that both us, and the UWP could benefit from this alliance. Our government, a Republic-styled system, hasn't failed us yet. The Representitives have made their first unanimous descion (well, he joked, "since my election", the crowd roared).

"For those of you at the UWP watching now, I'll give you a little overview. Our Republic has a council, a group a representitives elected by each of our cities. They meet here, in Port Hope, the capital of our country. While their main function is to elect officials, such as myself, and the ministers in my cabinet, they can also overrule me, should I overstep my bounds. This system allows for incredible freedom within the usual confines of government, but, at the same time, allows for a reasonable amount of safely, as the President can't go promoting his own agenda without being overruled by the council.

"History-wise, Parlim hasn't had a revolution. We have had many striking reforms, but no blood has been spilled during a changing in the government, unless you count the stubbed toe I got moving into my office. We are reliable."

"Our economy is booming, with our currency up to half a Credit to about two US Dollars. Our other industries are also booming with trade."

"Militarily, our nation's navy is supreme, our cruisers and battleships making our sector safe for all of its citizens!"

"In conclusion, we hope the UWP accepts us, and helps to open a new chapter in Parlimian history. Thank you."

(OOC: Yeah, I overdid that a bit. ;) Anyway, we're future-tech, so I hope you can accept that. As I have said, we've never had a revolution, just reform, our economy is frightening, and our military is impressive. I think Parlim could be an asset due to its access to outworld resources, and a high tech military.)

Oh and the RWC is still as powerful (NATO is still pretty powerful too just like us they've done a bit of housekeeping) as ever just it's had a bit of an inhouse clean up and consolidation, besides not been much on the entire hardline alliance front recently...

27-12-2004, 10:16
Atlantis is very interested in this union. Four hundred plus humans call Atlantis home. A quickly rising economy, (Struggling to Strong in 3 days) Capitalist of course. Atlantis can truely be called the home of the free as citizens are granted much leeway. Much history, and knowledge of the old world can be brought into the union. How would this help any?? Look at the mistakes of the past, to prevent them from happening in the future.

OOC: Perhaps some position in The union could include some sort of record keeper, if possible.

Prior to comment, I've been keeping an eye on this to see how it developes and so far... well, I've concidered some of the points you've made and the points others have made (along with their history) and as usual I'll give you my criticism and suggestions, especially seeing as your one of the few people who actually listen to it. ;)

First I'll start with the actual alliance concept: You want to keep it small and hard to get into, which I'm automatically tagging with the thought "Elite". This is pretty understandable and advisable, afterall, if you are going to create a Union of peaceful nations you want to make sure that all members are model nations with a reasonable track record or at least something to compensate for a poor history, like recent examples of willing to reform.

So yeah, you'll want to be pretty thorough with nations you haven't encountered before in order to see if they suit your alliances need, as for the ones you have, well that comes down to your opinion of them (which will count for something, they don't have to be your friends, but they should at least be respectable). Talking about the specifications though, I can't help wondering at the mention of "Stability" when your own nation has had it's dictatorship uprooted and been replaced with Communism... usually that sort of thing isn't good for Stability but then again I haven't kept up.

This aside, stability is a good thing to look for in a ally, generally you want these nations to be dependable, which requires being sure that their government won't change too suddenly (which may change their alliances/interests as it did with your own nation) and their economy is stable.

But hell, I shouldn't need to tell you all this, and it's pretty early here. So I'll leave it at that... for now I'm giving it a miss, I'm happy with my nations alliances as it is and if I need individual relations with a nation I'll do it with them, not in a group alliance.

The main concern I can see would be the member selection... this is a problematic process because we all hate turning people down. Though I've found that group alliances are less desirable these days because I would rather individually ally with nations so I know the nations I'm officially allied to are actually the ones I respect and trust... with a group alliance you don't always have control of those nations.

*shrugs*

Good luck, you'll probably need it.

The Soviet Union would be interested in becoming a part of this said Union. However, there are some issues we would have to put foward concerning our own position;

1.) Our economy is currently not stable. We have allies assisting us, but it will be some time before our former strength can be regained.

2.) Our government just went through several reforms (OOC: COUGH COUP COUGH) including a more liberal form of decisions. We are no longer the autocracy we used to be.

Apart from these two things we have mentioned, there is nothing really substantial that I have left to mention in this report except a 'profile' you wished to include;
Population: 2.804 billion
Economy:: Frightening [Rped as strong; will increase RPwise though]
Civil Rights:: Very Good
Political Freedoms:: Few
Economy Form: Collectivist
Established Long Form: People's Soviet Union of Hogsweat
GDP:: 85 trillion [Rped as 15 trillion; will increase RPwise thogh]
Government Priority::Defense
UN Category Father Knows Best State (not sure how to change this?)
Region: Haven
Notes: Split into Seven Republics that have sworn an oath to the motherland.

However, if it wished by the Union that we convert our economy to a Market Economy to compete with our allies then that shall be done - albeit with slight discomfort. We are always loyal to our allies and I am sure that trade between any nations in the alliance would be a good thing for themselves, and us. Because of this, our willingness to reform and our loyalty, we would be a good asset.

Keeping this in mind, and that our economy will increase and only get stronger as time passes, and with new allies to trade with, we formally submit our application to what could be a powerful alliance.

Minister for Pre-Subjugation External Affairs

TEO: The Union of World Powers would have absolutely no restrictions to place on the Enterprises of any specific nation, and would not compromise anyones' sovereignty. Each nation will retain their political/social/economic structure, as they see fit, however, if we see that the economic structure is unsuccessful, the Union will offer ways to make things more efficient, but at the same time, it will not enforce anything upon the nation in question.

Euroslavia is gratified that a nation such as yourself would express interest in our Alliance, and would see it fit if you were to join the Union.

OOC: I purposely did not put too many specifics within the initial statements because of the fact that I, myself can become very ADD when I see long paragraphs talking about things that I really don't understand fully. All the details can be worked out when the first few members are accepted to the Union.

Sarzonia: I can guarantee that if any nation has doubts on any specific thing, I suggest that they raise their doubts, and that we discuss this in a sane and logical manner, because we all know that leaving one problem to stick around for a while can lead to an eventual explosion of problems. (I'm sure that reminds you of a certain alliance...) Anyways...

Euroslavia is proud that one of its greatest allies has applied for membership. We are fond of the way that Sarzonia maintains its reputation and we know that there is still a lot to learn. I look forward to seeing your contributions. We would be happy to see you in the Union, that is, if you accept.

OOC: Like I said before, all of the specifics will be worked out when the initial nations have been selected, and if you or TEO have suggestions on members that have applied, feel free to t-gram me, or message me on AIM- Euroslavia, or MSN- Euroslavia@gmail.com.

Kanabia: We aren't quite educated of your nation, and will do a simple background check to see of your actions in the past.

The Merchant Guilds: I have had my reservations about letting nations in that don't quite get along with other nations I plan on taking in, however, from the things that I've seen from you, I don't believe that you would exactly start a lot of trouble, and would be quite an asset to the Union. Again, we will do a background check just to see exactly how you've dealt with things in the past, and will get back to you as soon as possible.

Modern Atlantis: The fact that you are a smaller nation is something that may count against you in the long-run, but like I said before, acceptance in the alliance isn't going to be based on Creation Date, and current Alliances, it will be based on how you've run your country, and how well your RP'ing skills are.

The All-Knowing Iuthia: In making this thread, I was almost positive that you would make a few comments/suggestions. I always do look forward to what you have to say because, obviously, I take your questions/concerns to heart, knowing that you wouldn't come out and just completely bash my idea (in writing that is ;), you may be thinking other things in your mind :)) Just wanna say thanks! Oh, and I just wanted to let you know about my current govt situation. We did have a revolution a while back, and it was definitely quite bloody, but my people are quite patriotic, and eventually realized that the current government is satisfactory, seeing as we aren't a hardline Communist government. If anything, I should consider my nation a dictatorship because Euroslavia doesn't exactly act like a Communist nation.

Hogsweat: The fact that your nation isn't exactly stable right now is my main concern. That's why I'm going to put your application on hold currently, and will continue to monitor your actions, and the stabilization of your nation, and of course, Euroslavia will pledge aid.

Psov: We have heard a lot of good things about your nation from our allies in Sarzonia, and will seek out your past legislations and actions.

Each nation will retain their political/social/economic structure, as they see fit, however, if we see that the economic structure is unsuccessful, the Union will offer ways to make things more efficient, but at the same time, it will not enforce anything upon the nation in question.

Euroslavia is gratified that a nation such as yourself would express interest in our Alliance, and would see it fit if you were to join the Union.

OOC: I purposely did not put too many specifics within the initial statements because of the fact that I, myself can become very ADD when I see long paragraphs talking about things that I really don't understand fully. All the details can be worked out when the first few members are accepted to the Union.

<OOC>
There are a few things you need to know about the Dominion before making a decision- especially if you plan for a full, EU-style political/economic integration:

The Dominion is a corporate autocracy, ruled by the Evil Overlord through an oligarchy of high-ranking corporate officers of Evil Overlord Enterprises. Everyone and everything in the country is an asset of EOE. The population is referred to as citizen/shareholders, and status is awarded solely based on profit-making potential. That said, citizen/shareholders can increase their influence and status by improving some aspect of EOE's corporate structure.

Civil rights are nearly non-existent, and are granted or revoked at the discretion of the Overlord or the senior corporate officers of EOE. The Internal Security police are everywhere, and every square centimeter of the country is monitored by cameras and other sensors. All citizens are implanted with a passive RFID chip at birth, and their movements and activities are strictly monitored and controlled thereby.

Only citizen/shareholders are permitted within the Dominion's geographical boundaries. This specifically includes foreign diplomatic personnel. The only outside contact with the Dominion is through the free-trade port city of Freeport, on Amida Island off the Dominion's SW coast.

I list these to make sure you're aware of them before inviting me to join up. Assuming the UWP alliance does not interfere with the Dominion's internal matters- and the Overlord's questionable civil rights history doesn't turn you off- I'd like to see a rough "Statement of Principles" or something similar that defines what the UWP stands for.

Eredron
29-12-2004, 20:09
The Republic of Eredron tentatively puts forth it's name for consideration to be joined in the Union of World Powers. With some kind of presence established in every corner of the globe, Eredron is truly capable of acting as a player on the international stage, with the military and economic strength to realize her objectives and mandates.

However, before Eredron would with finality agree to join this organization( and assuming we were accepted ), the Republic seeks further clarification.

Is this Union to be opened to all nations regardless of government type and policy, or will there be restrictions? The support and advancement of democracy is now the driving force behind Eredron's foreign policy, and although interested by this proposal, we have little desire to become tied with dictatorial regimes.

Secondly, will there be a minimum population restriction?

The Republic also has concerns over the extent to which the UWP would be empowered to change national legislation and government policy.

We are one of the largest trading centers in the world. An estimated 2,300+ people visit the grand market, which is about the size of two vatican cities every day. You would think that would make our economy better, but the government only extracts %1 from every trade.

We also have a 100,100,000 man army, not including machinery and will actively participate in any war deemed necessary by the Union.

Out government is somewhat of an Oligarchy, with power for only a few people. The poeple are unopressed, however, as a result of the polycracy of the nation and the benevolence of the government.

Nah, I think you've got it the wrong way around. Instead of calling it something complex and long with a combination of all the other alliances... instead give it a over simplified name to show it doesn't need to be flashy to be good.

We would be willing to agree and submit to certain things, but we would need to know just how penetrating these would be to current chellian laws, etc. We are fine with complying with things that deal with international policies, etc, but are not sure how much we would be willing to bend on personal policies.

Our name and reputation should really speak for ourselves. One of the strongest nations in the world, we have not had a successful revolution since the one over 500 years ago, and that was right after we were formed. We have one of the strongest economies in the world, and Euroslavia should realize the power we hold, from our knowing each other in NATO, that we are one of the most potent forces in the world.

We have been attracted to this alliance because we hope there will be no small nations that need a helping hand, Kriegorgrad is a live-and-let live nation but we find it a waste of time to go out of our way to help some third-world hell hole (OOC: Ignore Kriegorgrad being a lil bit third world!) because we have our own problems, I’m sure most of the people of Kriegorgrad would rather have food on their own tables than food on some foreigners table.

Kriegorgrad can lend it’s experienced hand in both war and diplomacy, Kriegorgrad has experience in both, while our diplomats may not be on a par with that of say, Iuthia, our diplomats do indeed far-surpass the ignorant buffoons that clog up the worlds embassies nowadays. The Kriegos military is remarkably well funded and it’s training is rather rigorous.

Most humbly request consideration of allowing the nation of the Bedou Peoples to join in the most honorable of endevours.
The Bedou Peoples nation has recently under gone great and successful economic reform bringing itself back from the edge of collapse.
Our soveriegn territories lay in Southern Sweden(Capital), Tajikistan, joint stewardship of Kyrgyzstan, Burkina Faso(Where in lay our sprawling Diplomatic center), We posses ports in Brito, Nicarugua. As well leased land in Eastern Yemen.
These do not include the large colonies of Bedou who have been warmly accpeted into the nation of other sovereign peoples.
We are truly a Global People, undefined by race, language, land, or creed.
The broad spectrum of Bedou people would afford an immense cultural diversity to the UWP, as well, we are by many Islamic nations considered a respected and formidable leader in the fellowship of Islam.
Being an Islamic nation the Bedou have a history of defense of many faiths--including defense of other faiths against those who would claim justification under Islam for aggression against them.
I could continue for pages on the many reasons there are to allow the Bedou Peoples into the UWP.
I will however, refrain from hyperbole.

Apllication for Membership into The Union of World Powers (UWP)

After long consideration, the Cabinet has decided that it would be beneficial to the nation of Jonothana to join the UWP.

We promote peace, yet if we will not hesitate to stop any attack on allies, through the use of our substantial army. We always have a referendum on any action involving more then 200 troops, and not once have we had a result less that 60% in favour of our actions. Our citizens are mainly peaceful, thanks to laws and examples set by previous governments.

Despite this pacifism, we have a large army, should trouble arise. It currently stands at 15 million available troops, with 3.6 million mobilised, meaning we have 18.6 million troops altogether.

This means we are particularly strong, and we use it as a powerful diplomacy tool, avoiding fighting and the deaths of our men, and the enemy's. And, using this tool, we could force our enemies to comply with demands of money and troops etc. which would be beneficial to us. However, the only time we ever to something similar to this is when it would be a severe risk to us or the international community not to confiscate weapons and equipment. We only demand soldiers, and small groups of them, when they are thought to have committed war crimes. They are arrested and are held and tried in accordance with the Geneva Convention. Should they be acquitted they are transferred back to their native country, however if they are convicted, they serve their sentences in a high security prisons, where they are treated well.

Routes for refugees are opened, and if they want they are accepted into the many well-equipped and furnished Accommodation Centres, where they can wait for a home in Jonothana in one in their native land. We also endeavour to make sure prisoners are kept in good conditions there, and that any political prisoners or slaves are freed, and given the same options as refugees (as described above) have.

And so, we hereby present our humble application to join those at the Union of World Powers, as we believe our policies are sufficient to constitute a responsible, peaceful, World Power.

Not certain, but I think Euroslavia said that we're going to create some sort of permanent organization before accepting any new members. This should give everyone a better idea of the membership criteria, what the UWP stands for, what the members will be responsible for, etc. Once we get that set up, it will be more difficult for any single member nation to prevent another nation's admission (provided the prospective new member meets our yet-to-be-formalized membership criteria).

I suggest that everyone interested in joining TG Euroslavia. He can let you know how long it will be before the UWP formally accepts new members (my guess is- not very long) and other information you might need.

Our nation(s) has an event rich but largely peaceful history from the federations construction in late 2000, to now where we consider ourselves at a stage where we can move outwards from our own northern union and become a part of a larger international group.

Having a strong planned economy and a dedicated base of workers in many industries, most notably information technology and entertainment, we offer many strengths to the UWP in the form of solid trade and an experienced cultural and diplomatic attaché core as well as a loyal and modern People's Armed Forces.

It has been created, and forums have been made a long time ago. We were all worried that you just didn't want to participate. I think the forums are on the 2nd page.

Re: UWP
-Second Risban Application


The Empire of Risban would like again to apply for the Union of World Powers, after being "temporarily" denied.

Name: The Empire of Risban
UN Classification: Iron Fist Consumerists (At times a Father Knows Best State)
Civil Rights: Few
Economy: Thriving
-Economy: Large private sector led by Information Technology, Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and the Automobile Industry.
Political Freedoms: Rare
Population: 303+ Million
Pacts Risban Formally Already Belongs to: The New World Order, the Empire of One, the Pacific Rim Alliance, the Committee of Vigilance, the Protectorate Organization, OPEC.

The Empire of Risban is constantly active on the international political stage. It had several tight alliances with other nations, trade contracts, and Non-Agression Pacts. We have not yet enter into any formal military conflicts with other nationstates, and do not plan to in the future.
The Empire of Risban, while maintaining a navy and army, focuses mostly on economic and diplomatic ties with other nations. We are open to trade and have much to both offer and ask for.

The Empire of Risban fully supports business, trade, and diplomacy. We are a capitalist state. Our largest businesses are the Scorpius Corporation, the Zorag Company, Risban Automotive Industries, and Hermes, Incorporated. Our economy has always been very strong, and is getting stronger.
As we stated in our first application, we are willing to follow any laws set down by the Union so long as they do not hinder Risban economically or diplomatically.
Thankyou,
Alexander Perkins, High Minister of Foreign Affairs

Official Statement from the UCTCR:
The United Cuban Territories of Communist Rule have voted for an application to this alliance. The UCTCR is located on the island of Cuba and consists of over 2 billion persons. The government of the UCTCR is a simple system, but effective. The government pursues International wealth for even distribution to its citizens. Private enterprise is allowed, but all profits will go to the state. Services are free to all in the country, and profit is collected from the International community. The UCTCR remains as a shareholder in the largest oil conglomerate (OOC: That I've seen in NS history) in the world. The UN, which we have, unfortunately unprescribed from, views us as Democractic Socialists. Even without the revenue gained from the oil conglomerate, the UCTCR has a budget of 21 trillion USD. We are also wise to the world of International Politics and Economics. We have yet to have an invader set foot on our shores, a reflection of the UCTCR's non-violent stance. We have, on occasion, committed troops to conflicts but have not lost any to violence. We are intelligent people, with great support, and rich history. We would be an asset to the UWP. (END)

Premier V. Ilyenov finished handwriting the note on the official stationary. He peered at the letter from a distance, grinned, and slid it into a manilla envelope. Hopefully this would be the one great thing he did before he died.

The Shahdom is much interested in joining the said alliance, The Union of World Powers. Parthia is well known for one of the most powerful economies in the NS world. We have a very strong hold on the oil market and control much of the Middle Eastern Reserves. This alone makes us useful for solving problems by cutting off the flow of oil from nations deemed a threat by the alliance. Other economic sectors we have significant power in include the uranium mining, textile, automotive, heavy industrial, and computer technology industries. In addition, our military is absolutely overwhelming, we have large numbers of well equipped and trained men at our disposal which can be mobilized within a week. Moreso, we are armed to the teeth and our men are equipped for the modern battlefield. Parthian soldiers are a useful asset to any combined military campaign. Suprisingly to many people, Parthia is a pro-civil rights nation where the government does not interfere with the lives of the people (My civil rights rating is very good, theres just a few instances where the exceptions arise). I trust my 2.1 billion subjects to run their own lives enough.
