NationStates Jolt Archive

Okay, so this is my second attempt at a nation vaguely based off of the Cthulhu mythos. The nation essentially consists of large tent cities as residential areas, sprawling underground factory complexes, and huge wastelands dotted with blasphemous and disturbing ruins.

My military is rather small, but highly trained and a bit fanatical. They also haven't updated their equipment since the Cold War era.

As far as the Lovecraftian stuff goes, I don't intend to use it to affect the course of a war in any way besides influencing decisions on my people's parts. That, and the occasional scout/small army group might disappear/go mad.

As far as the war goes, any reason is good for me. Disgust at my people's religions (they worship the Old Ones), plain old imperialism, whatever.

I'm a rather large island, and there are quite a few strong, if outdated, defense complexes, especially in some of the central mountains. (The rest of the area is pretty much flat and desertish. I have Camel calvary. Camelry?)

Only real qualifications is that A) I don't simply want to be nuked into oblivion. That wouldn't be cool. B) You must be a good RPer.

OCC: This sounds pretty cool. I would like to invade.

All right. I've been lurking before I was playing, and you do seem a decent RPer. Can I have a few details please?

I'll take it, this sounds interesting. The Griffincrest Corporation would come for your oil.

No.

No.

That was cold. Why not.

OCC: I would probably invade for either the hate of your religion or for your resources. Depending on the geography and how big your force is, I will decide what to send.

No.

?
Blackhelm's a decent Rper.

Mostly this.

Kempfers, you have been randomly selected as my next victim. Put up your dukes and prepare for war.

Not cool.

And the fact that, quite frankly, I have no interest in fighting an evil corporation drawing on an apparentally limitless mercenary force.

Not cool.

And the fact that, quite frankly, I have no interest in fighting an evil corporation drawing on an apparentally limitless and oddly loyal mercenary force, and plywood planes carrying unlikely loads.

Is this Whyatica?

Is this Whyatica?

Nope. But as I've said, I've been lurking around for a while.

And I admit I'm not really sure on the feasibility of the planes, so I've edited that out.

Care for me to explain both the planes and the mercenaries?

Go right ahead. Although, to be honest, in all probability I still won't be interested in fighting an evil corporation. Just not what I'm looking for at this time.

Actually...you just gave me an idea. Thanks!

You know, I had a really long, detailed post, but Jolt ate it. I'll post it again tomorrow, but for now suffice to say, really big deserts, except for some really tall mountains.

Fifty thousand men in the army, mostly infantry or Camelry, (those these fight mostly as dragoons) really good at fighting in the desert, fairly average out of it. AK-47 favored weapon, camels favored transport. Satellite/radio communications spotty, landscape constantly shifting. Huge ancient roads only real way of transport apart from camels. These connect the oasises. Driving off them is a good way to get lost/buried.

Good night.
