Fair enough. Although you did say you got it from the CIA factbook (Which I've seen)and that anyone could use it...

And TIOR, I doubt it, this is just a fluid guideline for my RP's, I don't like having tons of details to remember

Well does anyone think they have the skill to clean up the map I have except for the boundries? It would be grealty appreciated.

Great job on your factbook :) That reminds me to work on mine too. :)

*BUMP for idiots...err comments! yeah, comments...

You might want to go back and edit out all the spots where it says "Halberdgardia" and the like...there's still some stuff from my factbook left over.

EDITED: And if you get a blank copy of that map could you give it to me?

*bump*

Nice work. Though you could have used the ever famous Pacitalia Format. ;)

*BUMP* Updated: I HAVE A MAP!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!! :D

Meh, bump.

What does the Silver Sky think of the USSEA?

What does the Silver Sky think of the USSEA?
OOCly you a good looking nation/government to me, but ICly we have had little or no contact.

I suppose you're gonna ask me if I can help you/JC in your "Southeastasia Declares War On Joint Conglomerates" RP, we have our own megacorp, we view JC and other MT Mega Corps with a feeling bordering on hate, cause our own Mega Corp(We Buy It Inc.) is a 'good' corporation, and I'm involved in an big RP with Space Union, and I have my own nation on a off-site RP, so really no time.

*bump*

So is that company you run moralistic?

For now yes, they haven't had to resort to more "hostile" methods as of yet, but they do have a sizeable force at their disposal, my company likes to try to find a middle ground between making profits and giving high enough saleries, so while they try everything to get bigger and better then the competition they don't totally ignore the average working man/woman.

*bump*

I understand. But since the RPs started before I could answer ya, too bad. But however, why not establish diplomatic relations with us (see my sig)?

OOC: My nation tends to not like just starting relations with others on a whim, all the other nations I'll allied to I had contact with ICly on way or another, take Sarzonia for example, I allied with him cause I saw his RPs and bought from his storefront, or Space Union, cause I joined the NS Missile defence thingy, I don't like to ally for OOC reasons.

OOC: Time to make first contact.

Greetings from the Libertarian Concordance of Czardas! We know little of your nation and wish to open diplomatic contact with you. The Concordance is not sure of any military or other engagements your nation may be involved in at the present time and thus, forgive us if our message comes at an inopportune time. However, we wish to solidify all of our contacts in the surrounding region, especially in the face of an oncoming major war between us and an alliance of many nations of far greater size and military strength than the Concordance itself.

If you wish to open diplomatic relations with us, please reply to this message as soon as possible, and have a pleasant day.

From: President Jason Horton Garner
The Armed Capitalist Republic of The Silver Sky

We've heard of you little slice of the world before, our "contacts" have reported good information about your nation, we would be glad to open diplomatic contact with your nation. I suspect an embassy exchange would be
in order?

We see you are another peaceful nation hammered by the warmongers of the world, we would be happy to help you with your struggles, although our military is undergoing refits with new weapons and only 25% of ground forces are capable of being sent overseas we can direct you to Silver Sky National Arms to help produce low cost weapons and IFVs for your troops to use. They also have mercenaries for sale should you need some.

If you wish to pursue an alliance you will be assured of the full economic and military backing of The Silver Sky, especially since most industries of our nationalized, but not run by the government, Silver Sky National Arms (Subsidary of We Buy It Inc.) has a great deal invested in how well our military does.

I see that I have raved on a bit longer then I should have, so, if you wish to pursue further contact please respond.

Thank You,
[Signed]

OOC: I may have other surprises instore later. ;)

OOC: Czardas, you have MSN Messenger, or mIRC?

Foreign Minister Kari Alhoun studies the message and smiles. An embassy exchange. A possible alliance or military aid. This is better than he expected, with just a normal contact to a nearby nation. He begins to type up the reply immediately:

~~~~~~~~~~~
From: The Libertarian Concordance of Czardas
To: The Armed Capitalist Republic of The Silver Sky

Greetings from the Concordance! We would certainly be glad to have an embassy exchange with your nation. As it is we have a fairly large embassy program already running with representatives in many countries, so we would be more than happy to add another nation to that list.

We see that you have "researched", so to speak, our current international situation. Concerning the Warmaster conflict, any aid of any type, no matter how small, would be appreciated. The odds are much bleaker than most people suspect—and many think the situation is bleak even with their lack of information. We are not sure what numbers your information has found, but we believe we are outnumbered by a force totaling over 12,000 planes, 1,500 ships, and untold millions of soldiers that may exceed 100 million. While several nations have also issued condemnations, as yet no-one else but the Second Empire (aka Fluffywuffy) has made any move to stop the spread of warlike dictatorships, and this Empire, while certainly having the resources for such a large-scale conflict, has mobilized little but its submarine fleets, and even those have yet to make any move.

We would be glad to enter into an alliance with any nation, and the Armed Capitalist Republic is no exception.

Oh, and for future reference, send all contact to me: Kari Alhoun, Czardaian Foreign Minister. I will have to do in place of a national leader, of which Czardas has none per se (the need for a head of the Governing Council was deemed unnecessary after the resignation of Ianus Idi in 1963).

Just lay down the needs of a embassy we'll build it! Here is our embassy staff:

1. 50 Armed Guards (M12 Pistols, AR-91A Next Generation Assault Rifles, various weapons)
2.10 Diplomatic Personal
3. 5 LV-08, 3 Personal Variants, 2 ATGM Variants
4. 3 Diplomatic Bullet Proof SUVs
5. 2 UH-60 BlackHawks
6. 70 Embassy Personal
7. Enough under ground space to supply the personal with 2 weeks of food/water/supplies
8. 2 Helipads and parking garages

That sure is alot of enemies, what'd you do to piss them off? Only one nation to help, wow that's a low for the international community. We can try to get support for you from our allies, but no guarantees there and it may take a few days. Although you can be sure of the help of The Silver Sky Republican Army and We Buy It Inc.'s security forces as we've already outlined in our talks.

And for future reference, all contact will either be with me, or Secretary of State Kara Maddox.

From: Foreign Minister Kari Alhoun, The Libertarian Concordance of Czardas
To: President Jason Horton Garner, The Armed Capitalist Republic of The Silver Sky

Greetings from the Libertarian Concordance! We have set up an embassy for your purposes in our capital, Czarna. The new TSS embassy is to be located in the center of that city. We wish to know if you would prefer the walls to be soundproofed, as the favorite activity of Czardaians is to protest and it can get quite noisy (we have subsidized soundproofing for all buildings in major cities at any rate, not as though anyone ever stays inside except to sleep and eat, being too busy working if they so choose beforehand and protesting when they are not).

Our embassy staff would be slightly smaller; this is a conclusive list of what we will send to your capital.

~ 8 Diplomatic Personnel, and families
~ 52 other Embassy Staff
~ 25 Czardaian Special Operative guards and their full equipment
~ 4 official bulletproof semiarmored cars
~ 2 unofficial bulletproof unmarked cars
~ 12 A93E SM motorcycles for guard transport
~ 2 weeks' supplies for similar storage
~ An appropriate secured connection to the Czardaian intelligence databases
~ 1 or 2 helipads with an appropriate communication line to Czardas

All we did to incite the wrath of these many nations was to condemn the actions of one of them, The Warmaster, and prepare for war. Immediately all of its numerous allies promised aid and began preparing for war against us. Some did eventually declare war after we engaged Doomingslandi forces over international waters.

In addition, we were not the only nation to respond to Warmaster's human rights abuses. However, we were the only one to take action. Nations such as Fluffywuffy, Gyrobot, and Brydog, all of whose economies and militaries are stronger than Czardas's itself, issued condemnations but did nothing or little else. Kilani alone has shown signs of involvement, but it is a smaller and somewhat less influential nation, and thus may not hold as much power.

We are glad that at least one nation out there can realize the possible damage religious dictatorships can do in the international community. Thank you.

Yes sound proof would be appreciated by the staff, as they may actually want to sleep for a while, when they aren't watching the protest.

You embassy will be built atop a hill in Silver City (that map was old, I changed the name of my capital), with a great view.

Ah yes, the international community shows it's true side, it's like the UN, they can issue condemnation after condemnation and still take no action. You can rest assured that we are a nation of action, especially when it comes to allies.

While we don't officially condemn religous dictatorships, we only do if they threaten another nation or commit genocide.

We will prepare the building according to your wishes. We realized that this was a problem after a 6-day series of protests in the capital barricaded us inside Congress Hall. Apparently the protestors worked in shifts, singing stirring songs and rallying speeches all night long. While this would normally be very inspiring and all, there were a few among us who felt the necessity of sleep.

I'm sure the delegates will be glad to hear that the embassy has a view. Czardaians enjoy new environments of all types, especially from above. That may be part of the reason why so many volunteer to join the Air Force, prompting the use of so many combat planes.

The Warmaster has done both: it has launched planes and missiles at Czardas, and committed a genocide of supporters of democracy in its nation, killing 152 members of its governing council alone. Despite this, we were the only nation to take action. The Concordance is understandably glad to find another nation that values action above simple condemnations.

Ah yes, that is fine, we're still trying to gather enough people who want to be in the embassy, shouldn't be more then a day or two more though.

Ah, yes, well most of us Skyians enjoy the wide expanses of the open ocean, probably the reason we have such a large navy, and we also like big things, probably the reason we have so many Neptune-Class Super Dreadnaughts.

Ah, so they have, well I guess it's time we got some "researchers" into their nation.

Also representatives and a taskforce from We Buy It Inc. have prepared to head to your nation, they're are happy to annouce that the take over of the Arms Manufacturing and Uranium Mining Sectors have procceded smoothly, although they're wait for the go ahead from you and the companies to overtake the oil sector, they also extend an offer to the Ore/Metals Mining sector.

And for reference the Representative will be Chief Operations Officer Francisco Diaz. He is excited to be able to finally travel to a foreign land.

Official Memo from the Overseas Resources Division, Conquest Industries Inc.


Greetings to the fellow corporation of We Buy It Inc.! We had fellow contact when welcoming the Pallawish Corporation and you brought to attention the fact that we had not yet had any contact despite being two of the largest economic superpowers in the area. Conquest Industries Inc. and its subdivisions are unquestionably one of the largest military suppliers in the world today; it seems to us surprising that a large megacorporation such as yours has not heard of us. While Conquest has semi-protectorate status under the Bandurian Imperium, as well as a monopoly on the Imperium's arms manufacturing, uranium mining, and petroleum processing industries, we have morphed into a multinational operation with major stations in seventeen countries and additional operations and holdings in many more.

Once again, I extend to you my greetings and hope to open relations with you at some point in the near future.
Maxim Lorens
Chairman, Board of Directors, Overseas Resources Division
