Romania and Yugoslavia still existed prior to the collaspe of the USSR (well not sure about Romania to be truthful, but I'm fairly confident it existed :D). Yugoslavia collasped after the fall of the USSR and broke up into several different states.
Anyhow I think Yugo would be considered neutral, even if it was communist (Tito-Stalin split). Anyhow doesn't really matter as this is an alternate history so anything can happen (I mean in real history, China is neutral since the Sino-Soviet split). Hell, the USA can even be a commie!

can i join as a terrorist group, The People Democratic Liberation Army (PDLA). Pro communist
Someone post in my factbook/diplomacy thread >.<. I have Central America's oil :-p.
Remember, most of that oil goes to America. :p I've sent an aircraft carrier and a few ships to protect it, so if you sell it to Communist nations I won't be pleased. Neutral nations are fine to sell too though - not to ditact what you do with your oil, just saying what will please America.
Actually, I believe France has what I'm looking for (unless the USA would be willing to part with one of it's decomms...). France has a carrier in drydock, the Clemenceau, awaiting Decom...but it's still in fine condition and can host 40 aircraft. Should work fine for me (assuming France is looking to make some money, and not just looking for scrap metal).
If you show that you can be trusted by America, and our pro-NATO, then as my factbook states - we will start discussing selling. Obviously, all NATo nations get first dibbs so to speak.
Good to see NATO filling up - my you lot have posted a lot whilst I've been sleeping! I'll check on the factbooks now to see no ones done something I wouldn't do...:p I've decided that I'll operate the same tactic as AB, you come to me, - my factbook (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=528188) - however, with Japan and Canada, I'll make an exception.
Also, USSR and Cuba, I'm considering putting you back to Unstable, as your not really an enemy...yet. Plus, I have many replies in my factbook ready, and if you wish to buy from my nation either do it there or by TG until we have a sales thread or general IC thread. Infact it would probably be better to wait for that.

My diplomatic relations with nations have had a big revamp to include new nations. Basic changes are that Russia and Cuba are now Unstable, not enemies, all Warsaw Pact nations minus Afghanistan (who are a Democratic Republic so are labelled as stable) are Unstable, and all NATO nations are allies, and all neutral nations minus India and Japan who are 'Friendly', are Stable.

According to Wiki the first one is due in June 2007 - which means if we speed it up due to the Cold War I should have maybe three by now.

Total $314 billion
Per capita $49,700
Official languages Arabic
Establishment
Republic declared January 8, 1926
Recognized May 20, 1927

This bits long.
History
The emergence of a Saudi state began in central Arabia in 1744. A regional ruler, Muhammad bin Saud, joined forces with a cleric, Muhammad ibn Abd-al-Wahhab, to create a new political entity. This alliance formed in the 18th Century remains the basis of Saudi Arabian dynastic rule today. Over the next 150 years, the fortunes of the Saud family rose and fell several times as Saudi rulers contended with Egypt, the Ottoman Empire, and other Arabian families for control on the peninsula. The Saudi state was founded by the late King Abdul Aziz Al-Saud (known internationally as Abdul Aziz bin Saud).
In 1902 at the age of only 22, Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud re-captured Riyadh, the Al-Saud dynasty's ancestral capital, from the rival Al-Rashid family. Continuing his conquests, Abdul Aziz subdued Al-Hasa, Al-Qatif, the rest of Nejd, and Hejaz between 1913 and 1926. On 8 January 1926 Abdul Aziz bin Saud became the King of Hejaz before being assassinated by the Democracy Movement.
Basically I'm democratic and I still have a lot of oil. Also my government believe in equal rights for every one also we are some what anti american and pro european.
Anyway military.
Saudi military was founded as the Ikhwan army, the tribal army of Ibn Saud. The Ikhwan had helped king Ibn Saud conquer the Arabian peninsula during first world war.
By expanding the military forces years later, Saudi Arabian today has many military branches.
Military branches of Ministry of Defence :
Army
Air Force
Navy
Air Defense
Independent Military branches:
National Guard
Republican Guard
Military branches of Ministry of Interior:
Saudi Arabian Police Force
Saudi Arabian Border Guard
Saudi Border Guard
Saudi Coast Guard
Al-Mujahidoon
Saudi Emergency Force
Major Cites with Population over 1 million.
Riyadh capital
Jeddah second largest city; pilgrimage gateway to Mecca; main Red Sea port
Dammam Eastern Province capital; third largest metropolitan area
Makkah the holiest city in Islam (traditionally spelled Mecca in English)
Madinah the second holiest city in Islam (traditionally spelled Medina in English)
Other major cities
Ta'if mountain resort above Mecca
Tabuk northwestern border city near Jordan
Buraidah city in north central Arabia
Hofuf major urban center of the Al-Hasa oasis
Qatif large coastal oasis city and oilfield
Khamis Mushayt western Arabian mountain city and military base
The Economy
Saudi Arabia's economy is petroleum-based; roughly 75% of budget revenues and 90% of export earnings come from the oil industry. The oil industry comprises about 45% of Saudi Arabia's gross domestic product, compared with 40% from the private sector . Saudi Arabia has claimed to be in possession of 260.1 billion barrels of oil reserves (about 24% of the world's proven total petroleum reserves) as of 2003. Moreover, according to the Saudi government, the proven reserves increase gradually as more oil fields are discovered and oil recovery improves with technology. These reserve figures have been contested and may be significantly lower.

-Kadena Air Base (Okinawa)
-Camp Zama
-Misawa Air Base
-Akizuki Ammo Depot
I'd be willing to keep Yokosuka (the real one of importance to the USN), Atsugi, Sasebo, Iwakuni, and Yokota, but the rest (really, the only other one of importance is Kadena since it's on Okinawa) I'd prefer to be out (Zama only has a few years left IRL anyway).
Here's a list of existing bases in Japan, question is, do you want them still there? If so, I could hash out a deal about them. This list is essentially biggest to smallest.
-Yokosuka Naval Base
-Atsugi Naval Air Field
-Sasebo Naval Base
-Iwakuni Airfield
-Yokota Air Base
-Kadena Air Base (Okinawa)
-Camp Zama
-Misawa Air Base
-Akizuki Ammo Depot

I defiantly want troops in Japan - however I'll cut out the last three if you want. How many troops would you be happy about me stationing there?

Letra Enviada a la Nueva Estación Japonesa, NHK
Two things have happened today in the great Fascist state of Nicaragua. One, there are plans to create a nuclear energy facility, hoping for the construction to be a American-Nicaraguan project. The materials needed are all here, except a crucial one, Uranium and Plutonium. We wish to request the United States to supply this to us, as a sign of trust between our nations. The second happening inside the borders of the immaculate nation of Nicaragua is our now anti-Honduran setting. Whilst the government is raising awareness that this hatred is pointed towards the Honduran government, not the people, several border skirmishes have ended the lives of two Nicaraguan troops, and injuring three more. The Hondurans who attacked did not have any military garb and are believed to be a rebel movement that has been anti-Nicaraguan or Fascist. The Honduran rebels that had attacked our brave soldiers suffered fifteen casualties, most killed.
Signed,

I said I'd send 1 Nitmz class aircraft carrier and a couple of cruisers to protect oil assests - not give them to you! I don't sell Naval Ships - and I've checked in all the threads I could of sold you it in. So I'm sorry, you just don't have it from me (and I don't think anyone else in the world has the Kitty Hawk class ones so...).
I might consider selling off decommissioned ships (such as the John F. Keneddy), but this did not happen in this case. In fact, the only things I will sell now are not in service planes and weapons really.
EDITED: Greece is a NATO member since 1951. Can't ignore that, so Greece will be on NATO's side.
Can I be STALINIST Albania or acually the Peoples Republic of Albania.
In the other game i was communist North New Zealand but i guess i've lost that so i guess i will keep it realistic and become Albania
Population: 3.8 million
Head of State: Çomo Bashkim
Government: Fanatical, Stalinist, Communist state
Capital City: Tirané (Tirana)
Alignment: left Warsaw Pact in 1968, aligned with China, Split with China in 1978, Declared it would become socialist Paradise on its own in 1981.
Current Alignment = None, completely Nuetral BUT things can change
The Start (1944-1957):
Communist rebels led by Enver Hoxha booted out the italians and germans at the end of the 2nd world war. Enver set up a provisional govt where people suspected of colloaborating with the enemy was executed. by 1946 the communist were fully entreanched and Albania was declared a peoples Republic. in 1948 Albania followed the USSR and denounced Tito as a revisionist and Crypto Capitalist and purged titoists from the party.
The Split with USSR and eventually their split with China (1958-1977):
Hoxha fell out with Stalins successor, Khruschev and aligned Albania with Mao's communist China. Albania officially left the Warsaw pact in 1968 and all soviet technicians working in Albania were sent out and Soviet Aid stopped arriving in the country. Albania became China's only ally in Europe. Then came Mao's Reapproachment with the USA and nixons visit to china. This strained relations and when Mao died, China cut aid and eventually relations were severed.
Going it alone (1978-1985):
Albania was a very isolated corner of the world and trade and relations was very restricted. Enver Hoxha declared Albania to become a socialist Paradise on its own. Enver Hoxha died and was replaced by Ramiz Alia.
Challenge to the Party (1986-1991):
with the economic stagnation in Europe, Ramiz Alia bowed to pressures telling him to look at the international standards of human rights, Which albania was very behind. Ramiz Alia allowed limited economic reforms folowed by some political reforms such as a limited free news paper and some pluralism in the government. by 1989 the communist states in europe survived and no revolutions took place. The party took a big sigh of relief as they had been anticipating a revolution. However the reforms Alia introduced gave the Albanians an expectation of more freedom and strikes, demonstrations and protests plagued the nation through late 1990-early 1991. In July Hardliners staged a coup and eliminated the reforms, imposed martial law and deposed Ramiz Alia and expelled him from the country.
The Return to isolationism and re-stalinization (1991-2007):
Çomo Bashkim established himself as the new leader by October 1991 and he bacame the President of Albania, head of the Communist Party and minister of foriegn affairs. all opposition was crushed the reforms were denounced and propaganda was expanded to demonise all of Albania's neighbors
Italy = for its invasion and attrocieties during 1939-1944
Yugoslavia = for betraying Stalin and its relaxed brand of communism
Greece = because greeks in southern Albania were being prosecuted
USSR = for betraying stalin and its policies
China = for its betrayal of Stalin
ect
in 2006 Çomo handed the post as minister of foriegn affairs to a loyal party member but he still had a tight grip on the nation and Albania's economy continues to grow at a snails pace, the borders have been sealed since 1946 and living standards are still low.
Last year in 2006 Albania celebrated 60 years under communist rule and Çomo celebrated his 56th birthday.

H-Town: How does Nicaragua have an Aircraft Carrier? Terre says he bought one from America when Honako says he didn't sell him one. Terre also says his GDP is up to 149 Billion USD when it's only 20 billion USD in the real world.

I'm calling bullshit too. And it's been two weeks RP time, if you hadn't thought of that, either. Underdeveloped nations like Nicaragua don't just grow Singapore-sized GDPs in two weeks. Fix it, Nationale.

Hi, I was out yesterday... anyone feel like giving me a short review of whats happening thus far?
Mussleburgh, click on this page, below the banner NationStates (upper left) on the link named International Incidents. In the window that appears, click the New Post button, on the left, lower than the banner, but above the first thread. Remember that the name you give to your first message will be the name of the thread.
TGs sent to "Yugoslavia" and "Albania".
Could we assume that the NATO countries have contacts/embassies between them and the Warsaw Pact have embassies among them? Or should we RP it?
About that NATO meeting... Honako, since we are on different time zone (actually, I think I'm on the different time zone that most of you, since while I sleep the thread moves on with 5+ pages) I would like to ask that no final decision should be taken in less then... I don't know..24 hours, 48 hours.. something like that. If I have time I'll post something later today.
Are the reasons stated by the countries for the others to see, thus to comment on them? Did you intent it so that we RP it, or just.. vote?

Your actually only a couple of hours timezone wise from me. I live in the UK, so I understand what you mean - most people here most in the Middle of the night to me lol. I'll give around 48 hours for votes yeah. The whole point of the thread being by video think was so you didn't have to have the hassle of RP going to the airport, then meeting, then lunch etc. - however you can RP a fews things, like your leaders character, how he makes descisions etc.
Also, who are you in the THIS?
So, has anyone started a thread for a meeting of the Warsaw Pact?
Nope. Little has happened with them yet, though you don't really need a thread to discuss issues.

The Zumwalt thing is probably unlikely - however if all goes in favour of your baltic attack resolution thing then I may let you. Also, did I have permission to place missile silos and annouce to NATO you will begin attacks on cargo ships if those resolutions pass?
Enjoy your trip. I'll make sure no one invades you - you can just be very, very neutral, for, I think it'd be three or four months NS time. :p

I can outpay ANYBODY...I need my hands on one of those things in case China gets uppity on East Asia.
And Britain: Are you trying to lose Japanese investment? Because that's where you're going by going all to hell with the "search and seizure thing"...that's gonna real badly tick off my investors, who are probaly going to see an IC gradual pullout (along with dropping NATO-Japan relations...which previously were good)

LOL Saudi Arabia is anti-American. Also, Mussleburgh - America does not hate you - you just made a very bad diplomatic mistake when using the words 'anti-American' and 'building nuclear weapons' in the same paragraph. Anyway, I don't want to be harsh - just somewhat realistic - I'd like to point out that nuclear weapons take years to build, thats months real time, a larger economy and support from nations that would be a diplomatic blunder.
