Attention all COFN Members, I am announcing my candidacy for Minister of the Interior! I hope that my inactivity can be made up in the form of transparency, cooperation and most of all me! So vote Flynnvakia for Minister of the Interior!
Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
We announce our candidacies here ?
Penguania And Antarctica
Well, to make it official you contact [nation=short]Vista_Major[/nation].
Here on the RMB you just let people know about your candidacy if you want to.

Ive gotten a General idea what it is by the name of the Ministry of Justice but what Fully Dose the job entail in this region as i would like to place my name down .
Penguania And Antarctica
Oh, no. We are opponents then. Good luck my friend. :)
But I can assure you that you will have at least one vote if you will be my only opponent because I never vote for myself. =)

Why not ask our current MoJ [nation=short]Andromitus[/nation]?
Russian Fedration, Jaslandia
Oh i didnt know that . Good idea.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Fellow Citizens of the Confederacy, I would like to announce that I am running for the position of Minister of the Interior.
I have been a long time member of this community, joining it years ago. My first position being an interim for the Minister of Internal Affairs, from there I continued as the official Minister for 3 successful terms in the CFN. Eventually moving on to become Vice Chancellor, and from there Chancellor. In more recent history, I was the Minister of Justice during our time in Montaris, where I created and managed the law archives as well as the regional constabulary with a successful run and a high approval rating, continuing with Justice during the first government of the Confederacy.
I am now seeking to return to my roots and serve the community once more as the Minister of the Interior. I have a long track record of public service, as well as one of cooperation and building the bridges we need to succeed as a community.
I, Sulania, appreciate any and all support and hope to be your next Minister of the Interior.
Russian Fedration, Jaslandia, The Vidnoye, Penguania And Antarctica
That is very honorable of you Peng! I wish you the best of luck my friend as well!

RIP me. I am gonna lose this.
You people must went me to fall over dead or something. I'll have to close my eyes and point.
Russian Fedration, Jaslandia, Tserra
Going to respond to both of those nice and succinctly.
Walkers are weak in the limbs since the joints are undeniably weak-points -not to mention that they'd be incredibly hard to actually make work, considering that the weight will increase with each and every addition...like armour...or guns...or ammunition or people- that would be incredibly hard to repair pretty much every time they got dinged.
Furthermore, if they are of a large size, they'll be bombed to oblivion since yours -Russian Fed- happen to be of massive size without significant gain, these would actually require future materials to be surmounted...which it wouldn't be since legs are far less efficient than tracks or wheels.
Oh also they have "Compact" fusion...so yeah >.>
Now then, a quick summery of why I actually chose certain items to respond to:
Simply put? Certain aspects of your military are certifiably insane.
[spoiler] With regard to the Rotary gun, it's not that important that it's crewed by Super-Humans, TBH, because the limiting factor -regardless of how strong the men are- is the size and weight of the ammunition. It is physically impossible for four troops carrying a combat load along with ammunition for the gun to have more than fifteen rounds to twenty in their bag, forty if they remove the combat load and just carry ammo for the Minigun.
Furthermore, the fact that it's a minigun only subtracts from it's usefulness if it has a slow fire-rate. You've added the additional weight of multiple barrels for the benefit of...a slow, inaccurate, and incredibly heavy -The 7,62 GAU-17/A weighs 85 pounds, you have a gun equipped to fire much larger rounds- weapon that troops can't carry much ammo for.
As for it having six people to crew it..." the gun has a crew of 4 to move it and carry its ammo"
On the matter of the KZ-150...really any design is better than one that happens to encourage -if not openly want- to cause an uncontrolled cook off.
Perhaps use electrical ignition if you really must?
The BCD is the epitome of "Our troops can't fail", my dude.
A reason that things are very simple -with regards to Military Arms- is that it's hard to remember very complex things when you're being bombed and mortared, like...super hard since half your brain is punch-drunk on Adrenalin. You simply wouldn't make a complicated code for something the Grunt's would carry, you'll lose hundreds to thousands during combat -depending on battles- and simply watch the enemy jury-rig it instead.
On the topic of the 305mm mortar...that is the most expensive and inefficient way to deal with the weight of the round, though.
A simple auto-loading system would easily remove the "You have three men for that?" problem, though TBH having that many guns introduces extreme issues with supplies.
The T-197 is the epitome of "Heavier is Better" ideas with regards to tanks...which is a pretty big problem considering everything about it.
First, it must weigh well above even the Maus range -a terrifying prospect for it, considering that it won't be allowed on roads or bridges and must instead hope to god that the land is firm and stable- which would make it incredibly slow and a nightmare to repair as it's suspension practically kills itself. It's further going to be a mess when it's entire shape helps it both be seen and targeted by anything and everything on the field that can shoot at it.
In short, it's too big, too heavy and too slow with an armament fit for the days of WWII, surmounting any of these would require hyper futurist materials on the line of "Plasteel" or some other nonsense.
With regards to the Battleships, they've been completely outdated since WWII in everything but shore-bombardment, and even that can be replaced with smaller, faster, ships with smaller calibers.
In terms of speed, it's slow. In terms of Armour, it's unable to deal with modern munitions (Missiles, Strike Bombers). In terms of Firepower, it's completely behind in both range, accuracy, and destructive potential (The longest hit achieved was some 15 miles, a Sea Skimming missile like the 3M54T can reach 410 miles) while also offering a significantly higher downtime between shots due to the lack of VLS for a shell.
Your APCs are massive and will be prone to both breaking down and getting penetrated by anything with a brain.
There is a reason most militaries enjoy the concept of "Low silhouettes" and that is that it's pretty hard to penetrate something small if you can't hit it...or see it...or if it's shaped well.
You have a monolithic one that would be hard not to penetrate and would cost multiple fortunes to actually field or build. [/spoiler]
First: sorry for not responding for a while, had a few things that kept me too busy to finish typing this up.
Second: I remembered you talking about your factbook, and also remembered that you didn't have any other military factbook. I actually figured it prudent to comment on the most implausible or ineffective weapons in your arsenal so you wouldn't try to bring these over -not to say you would, just that it's best to remove a problem before it becomes one- without knowing that fielding most would be impossible or would bankrupt your nation TBH.

Welp, I don't know if I stand a chance at that position now :P Was considering but maybe....
Yukona
It can't hurt if you run
They are going to be used more for supply transport and the only ones are going to be more along the lines of Walker drones. These will have a Minigun or a double .50 cal turret. For the most part we won't be having them anytime soon.

[spoiler=Little Responces]
Dosent mean i need to use compact fusion. and your right in this RP and with what im doing they just wont work in the Mountains of Afghanistan
Insane to some , Nice to others :)
The KZ-99 perhaps your right to have some changes there . Just my military is Very Defence Oriented and its Maneuverability or lack of wasent a big concern to me
I like that Electrical thing for the 150 i do . Why i asked.
I suppose, But i never said that they cant fail now did i ?
The 305 is made with the Intent of Massive Urban Offence power i do like the suggestion of an Autoloader.
ok,But like i said i wont use it , because in the Mountains of Afghanistan That Tank is not needed and for my Potential aggressors would be over kill witch is something i dont mind.
and yea i like things that are bigger the better.
Well Not these battleships as i havent Worked on them yet. and i like the battleships and i have the other ships for other Jobs , and it dosent matter sense im landlocked.
Now im gonna be Dead Honest with you, What Armored Personnel Carriers ? Because thats a Unit that i Openly Acknowledge i lack. Now in my General Equipment Tabs i have some But nothing Full line. my Full line is a Basically a Modern M113
Its ok were all busy at times.
its ok i understand. Im a More Reasonable person than many think. I can see where your coming from. alot of that is used for a Much different military Philosophy for a Different Time Period and let a lone a Terrain. Witch is why i Acknowledged that im not gonna be able to use alot of that.
Im starting to make a Dispatch not a FB on that kinda stuff. For this RP.
Bankrupt The Federation, No Bankrupt the Freeborn Afghan Republics,It would need a new Word instead of Bankrupt lol
[/spoiler]
If you are running for office, I would recommend that you make a factbook/dispatch for your campaign/platform positions. You can send it to me so that I may feature it in the General Election factbook.

"Sadly"
You got my vote, meng
I don't see a position being open in the election that has to deal with economics, so Imma stay out of running for anything :P
Russian Fedration, Penguania And Antarctica
We have an economics commission, but you have to be nominated to that position

Vote Vidnoye!

He Nominated you i think.
As the former Vice President, may I ask what your plan is for recruitment?
Russian Fedration, Penguania And Antarctica
Well we're going to have to keep up a new nation telegram deal but I'd like to change the way we deal with nations when they get here.
When I'm looking for a region, Im looking for an active RMB and strong RP. Also to br talked to when I say hello!
So when people arrive I would and I would encourage others to do their best to get new people set up and making friends in the region!
Also I would extend a hand to old friends :)
Russian Fedration, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
Just a word of advice, i have TRAIN LOADS of old UNC Friends who maybe interested !
VOTE RUSSIAN FEDERATION FOR MINISTRY OF JUSTICE, FOR A BRIGHTER TOMORROW!

'Train loads'? Every train needs an engine, and me and my engine friends would be happy to help your UNC Friends if needed.

I will be sure to let them know about the CNF after all their region has slowed to a dead crawl.

ANNOUNCEMENT
In the near future (about a month or so in the future), I am planning to, with the help of moderators [nation=short]Unfallious[/nation], [nation=short]Kalaron[/nation], and [nation=short]Sulania[/nation], to revamp our RP system. We're gonna go back in time 1914, on the dawn of WWI. The map, our leaders, and our militaries will be changed (everyone gets to keep their territories, no worries). We will use a time system similar to that in the Commonwealth of Liberty, where one week equals one year. This will most likely begin in late May-early July, and will span a long time within the region. I have faith that it will increase RP activity in the region, and will provide us with generally good times. I can't give too many specifics because, honestly, I don't have them. However, I will work with the other main moderators to come up with an awesome RP that will help bring some fun to this region
And yes, map changes can occur. Drastic changes.
Jaslandia, Vista Major, The Vidnoye, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona, Percyton
I'm also gonna find a simple economic system that will work before we start this RP
Yukona
Um mind if i ask why?
Penguania And Antarctica
Two reasons. One: I have gotten high demands from many players that they'd be interested in a WWI RP and beyond. It would help get an idea of geopolitical situations that would appear in modern times, as I have difficulty writing it now. Two: It will help formulate many nations histories if they so please to do so. This is kinda like the last part of one, but it will help explain nations in our region and why they're like what they're like in modern times.
Besides, since Afghanistan is the nation where empires go to die, you get to keep your spot
Russian Fedration, Yukona
i know that . Out of its thousands of years of history No ones been able to Successfully able to Invade and Take Afghanistan .
Im just kinda liking the Modern Fundamentalist kinda thing just wondering if we would ever go back to it.
Hehehehehe
ahahahahahahahaaa
AHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbMyybiLbdE )
YES! Sieg Andreas; The Grand Andrean Empire will surge through the Americas's, the subjugation of the fallen will serve to bring the rest down with them, the farther we march, the farther we CAN march!
Russian Fedration
We aren't "going back to it" is the thing. This is totally new for us, and, as you can see by Andy's reaction, something people are looking forward to.
Besides, there's no reason you can't be fundamentalist in this time period, anyways. Many theocracies did exist during the time
Anyways, I wanted to tell people so everyone would start working on their military and historical factbooks for the time, as a military one will be required.
Russian Fedration, Andromitus
well...ok idk how to feel about this. I was kinda excited to do a modern Afghanistan smuggle drugs and Fund Terrorism...
You can still do that separate from the WWI-Modern Times RP chain. The modern map will still be kept there, but our main RP is going to be the Chain
Alright. idk idk i guess it will still be a bit anyways.
Damnit, Bax, look what you've done
Russian Fedration
I'm out economy systems suck balls

I mean, TBH Slave Soldiers are almost always worse than no soldiers.
Russian Fedration
Oh...What if we found one that worked? You're generalizing all economic systems like how Nurem generalizes all religious people (sorry Nurem, love you)
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
just my 0.02 cents
it feels more like the WW1 should its self be a Emphasized Specialized RP on the Forums.
Just my 2 coins
What do you mean be an Emphasized Specialized RP? I'm interested.
Russian Fedration
We have a very rudimentary one, we pretty much beat people who try to buy super-surpluses, and we certainly blew the whistle on Lat when he tried to trade-surplus + Autarchy.
I'm not saying it'll be a good thing, mind you, just that we should probably keep an open mind rather than just peacing out at the very start of the question.
Russian Fedration, Jaslandia
Btw, this means Nurem gets to keep Russia. But seriously, what if we found a system that you liked?
Like how you have your Featured RP Thing up top. I think many people came here because they liked the MT only aspect and now thats getting shoved aside for 2 years .
IDK i just feel like if people really want to do that they can do it on the fourms , like how i want with the Space RP . Just for those who are intrested on the Forums .
Astrostatzkia
You would just Plaster and Advertise it everwhere so people know about it and if intrested they can partake . like the Featured thing in the WFBE or like "Pin" it in the fourms
just a thought
TBF I haven't fully worked out my strategy; so theoretically I could just play that off as fear-mongering propaganda to cause unease in the soon to be invaded :P
2 years? I don't think it will be that long. Regardless, I'm holding a poll for it to see if people want it or not whenever it gets closer to the time
Russian Fedration
if each week is a year its gonna take 104 Weeks to go to 2022 well 2018 if your saying when the war stars so thats 2 years . unless im mis understanding something
Maybe I'm wrong, idk. However, I'd be willing to do a week equal two years, but RPs would have to be very active to get things done
And if we do do the RP; I'm probably going to model my nation a lot on Germany, 'specially once we get into WWII
Each week a year?
That's a lot
I like the month being a year
A weeks too short in my opinion
A month being a year from 1914 to 2020 will take 106 months. That's way too long for NS
Russian Fedration
That...
That is a terrible idea.
Germany got shoved into a micro-black hole after the US cleared the hedgerows and pretty much payed for every inch by swallowing their teeth.
A year for one RP seems extensive still to me.
Just thought was somrhing to point out and that's a good point activity is a concern
Ok enjoy that Astro
Ahhhh ok sorry thought we where referring to starting at like 2018
Russian Fedration
I mean't in-war specs such as military style and weaponry (keep talking this is great)
It's not one RP though. It's an RP chain that is affected by the previous RPs. We will get to modern times in the future, but this modern future would be affected by the previous events of the previous RPs
Astrostatzkia
Mate...
mate
Vista Major, Astrostatzkia, Andromitus, Yukona

I just feel it's gonna take a long long time

Oh my god thank you
The SS where the fanatics and even then it was mainly the officers if where talking late war
Russian Fedration
Np my dude.
The military is my point of focus nine out of ten times.
TBF, Germany was pretty much dead in the water during 1944, and the operation that bombed their western forces pretty much sealed their fate.
Honestly, the moment Hitler commanded troops to stand in an open field and fight the Americans was the moment they started kissing their butts goodbye.
Russian Fedration, Astrostatzkia
I'm looking forward to this. Me, Bax, and Unf were actually in a WWI RP years ago, and to this day, it's still one of my favorite RPs that I've participated in.
Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
Would you support using an economic system. Unf's already says he's out regardless. I just want something that will prevent ridiculous things.
You know what, I really don't think we need one. Just have good moderation and we'll be fine. Hear that [nation=short]Unfallious[/nation]
Jaslandia
Just follow the basic laws of economics and there's no real need to force people to make up exchange rates, GDPs, etc, and trade barriers.
Russian Fedration
Interesting. If we're in 1914, Sodor was still a British territory ruled by the humans, and the railways were still under development. However, if the player who controls Britain is okay with it, I could RP Sodor/Percyton as an autonomous province of the British nation. Plus, it would give me a chance to talk about Neil, Eagle, Wallace, and all the other engines who worked on Sodor before Thomas and the other famous engines arrived.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
R E T R I B U T I O N
The system shouldn't be too complicated, but I would be fine with a simple and basic economic system. Just so we can get a clear picture of where each nation stands, and how they could trade and form economic agreements.
Percyton
I believe Ludania currently owns Britain, so you'd have to work it out with him if you're going to participate. You wouldn't be able to do much, but from a world-building and story-telling perspective, I think you being involved would be very interesting.
Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
If you can wait 6 years (1920), the Nationalists will take over Vista Major. Then you can potentially have a Nazi to fight
Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
You could differentiate. Based on RP activity (and perhaps major events), the mods can change the time scale. That way, it's not set in stone, and it will adapt to our needs
1920 was the year the Engine Revolution happened in Percyton! It seems like a lot of things happened that year.
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
Yay free history lesson, thank you :3
I think my main problems tactics wise are gonna be the terrain of southern America tho; alongside contending with [nation=short]merlinton[/nation] and perhaps [nation=short]calofas[/nation]...But If I can secure the western coast for at least a year....hmmmm
Tis a dark but good year
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
So about this whole WWI thing
That basically voids out this nation
Jakal wasn't around until the early stages of the Cold War.
Personally I think there should be the Modern Tech RP region and a forum for the whole WWI thing or even a seperate RP region.

Hello! I am Andromitus and I am happy to announce that I'm going to be running for Minister of Interior in this next election; this past term I have worked as both the MOJ and have been apart of the Mentorship service in the CoFN since the beginning of the Latrovia Administration. I personally feel that we as a region, especially with the wonderful influx of new players into the system, has a serious chance to grow and expand in activity and community. I have a bunch of Ideas see below that I can't wait to share with you, from increased regional polls, to RPing, to non-RP activity, but more importantly, I want to be sure that I am seen as a resource for you to use. You have an idea, tell me it, I would love to know your thoughts!
So with all of this in mind, I hope you all choose to elect me as the new MOI!

so wait...im majorly confused
i thought the normal RP was the RP region ?
Well, as MOI I actually plan on keeping our original RP's in place...I'd split the RP section into different parts, Baxtens chain so we can work out history, MT zone so we can play normally
And I was thinking of instituting a PMT/FT RP-zone but IDK

Kumania didn't even become independent from Atlantia (Interstellar Federation) until 1951 and I'll be damned if I gotta wait over four months to act as an independent nation in rp. If we could not force this silly WWI rp thing down the throats of everyone else, that'd be great! I know you European countries wanna feel nostalgic about the last time in world history that yall were relevant, especially Germany, but the world doesn't revolve around Europe. Yall can do your WWI rp, but please don't force the rest of us to participate. Please let the main rp stay in the presentish day (2020).
