Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
That is amazing
Aye, you'll have to count me in Daddy Bax.
Look, if you want to join, you should give up Slovakia. The Reich with Slovakia looks weird. However, with just the Czech area, the borders look awesome.
*91 minutes ago: Following new legislation in the Greater German Reich, Democratic Socialism has become the mainstream due to efforts by the Sulanian Delegation*
Now that'd be something.
Jaslandia, Aldaur, Kalaron
Awww, thanks :P

This is a Public Service Announcement from the Confederacy Archives Database
To all members of the Confederacy of Free Nations currently acting as leading authorities within any International Organizations, an example being the ITF, would you please send this account a telegram with the name of said organization, a quick description, and a link to any factbooks you may have regarding the it.
Thank you for your cooperation, and have a nice day

First, they'd be anti-US because we've supported Israel during their oppression. If we turned around, they would come around, slow though it may be. Terrorism crops up due to a lack of jobs and feelings of "It's up to us to stand up to this oppresion", so maybe if we took the billions of dollars of aid that we give to Israel and instead funnel it into actually creating some industry stability into Palestine, you'd that terrorism go away.
It happened in Iraq due to the Provisional Administration's order that all people associated with Saddam would not work in the Army or the Governemnt (De-Ba'athification) and this fed the hatred because it removed thousands of people from their jobs.
As it stands, Palestine is poor, I'd expect the same if the US was a bombed out husk for 30+ years, but if there are pushes to actually create some growth there, coupled with a US lead push to keep the peace, it would thrive more than you think...and besides, Israel, for all it's prosperity, still seems to suckle at our teet, so it's rather moot to make it a point.
And this "I care for what benefits America" arguement is beyond unthought out.
Having millions of people who feel completely oppressed and if taken over would immediately make a terrorist insurrection is good for us?
Man, it's not like they see us shovelling money down Israel's chili-hole...and you know...not like they'd be willing to kill us for it.
The simple fact is that reigning in on Israel's insanity is good for the whole damn region and world, and those who focus on the "Damn the other countries" narrative are making the same frustrating mistake that we did in the '20s and '30s.
We're part of a world community, and if we want to be intelligent than we have to intergrate what we learned in Iraq and Iran with how to keep terrorism from cropping up.
We need to establish that their government can keep them safe (so Israel can't keep bombing them to sh!t) and we need to establish that they will be fed by their government (So some easing up on that blockade) alongside showcasing that they aren't puppets (so threatening them into submission isn't good).
The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Sulania
@Kalaran, so funnel money from Israel into Palestine instead so that we get a slow return on our investment when we could get an immediate and lasting return with Israel. I'm good. I'm still going to support Israel and I could rebuke all of your misled comments, but I really want to relax today. This is pretty much my only day off and it's not like you or I are going to have any effect on policy anway lol
I like rice pudding
Einsiev, Aldaur, Vista Major, Kalaron, Magnatronia
The executive branch is still hereditary and run by the monarchs of Oelesa and Baxten. Also, Ein may join, and he'd comprise of the far-right branch. Hopefully we can get some moderates in there.

Everyone's gonna get one based on their flag. So, fun
Plus penis, durr hurr hurr XD I love you Sul, please refrain from fighting me.
Vista Major, Magnatronia
You're a riot
Einsiev, Magnatronia
But a good riot no? <3
Vista Major
I'm scrolling and seeing all this debate (not reading it), and we are doing something that hasn't ever been attempted in the region (to my knowledge).
I know someone is going to think it at some point, so no we are not nazi Germany.
Hilarious
Einsiev
I will fight you in the streets.
And you're wrong. I like Kal's. :P
Magnatronia
I love you too. My love is inclusive to everyone.
Vista Major, Magnatronia
I still love you dude.
Magnatronia
Yes Ald, that is the nature of investing...you don't get immediate returns.
This is why China has begun investing in African nations, rather than pouring money into first world nations...because it's a long investment that pays out in the end.
I'm afraid every point I made, from terrorism springing from feelings of hatred and a lack of jobs and subsequent lack of money, to the fact that we are a part of a world community, to the fact that the De-Ba'athification of Iraq screwed the whole thing (Soldiers being told "Go home, we can't use you!" will obviously turn to a job of their skills when they must) to everything I said -Except, I admit, for the bit looking at the future where we support Palestine, I have no more of an ability to guaranty that then you with them being far poorer than Israel- seeing as most of it came from the United States military field guide on Counterterrorism (COIN) or "Invisible Soldiers" (which was about the use of PMCs during the war).
I'll cut it off here, but -and mind the vitrol- you made a really nice post unilaterally criticising comments without actually listing any.
*taken aback*
I am shocked. Shook, more like
Einsiev
Exactly. We are not trying to be Nazis. Just because we believe in irredentism doesn't mean we want to kill anyone because of race or religion.
Oelesa
We Fashies aren't evil. We love all humans the same. <3

Mark my words Baxten, there will be someone even though we said we wasn't lol.
I posted on the Confederacy General RP, in case anyone is still interested in that.

Thank you Jas.
Jaslandia, Vista Major
Thank God.
By the way, I'd like to welcome Sulania and Einsiev into the Germanic Reich. Also, Flynnvakia, we [the Reich] surround your nation. We don't want to invade or anything, but staying in the area may be restrictive to you. Who knows, it may provide for very interesting RP events.
Einsiev, Jaslandia, Aldaur, Andromitus, Oelesa
It won't be like in the modern war RP he said.
I swear it won't he said.
Jaslandia, Baxten, Aldaur, Oelesa, Magnatronia
That looks interesting. I'd have Percyton apply, but the application requires a military factbook, and my military ranges from very small to non-existent, a fact that my Minister of Defense Diesel 10 is very, very frustrated about. Percyton has some unusual military equipment, but other than that, there's not much to write about.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Magnatronia
Just say that's it's small and give small numbers. The factbooks don't need to be too complicated, especially if you don't plan to play militarily.
Jaslandia, Aldaur, Magnatronia, Percyton
Flynn is the new Switzerland in a way lol.
Jaslandia, Aldaur, Percyton
Yeah, Percyton isn't mill-it-r-is-tick at all, and we mainly focus on humanitarian aid and international diplomacy. I'll talk to Diesel 10, and see if we could write something up.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Handmade Banners for the Government!

dont hate too much i worked tu hard on dis pls
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
I think I've heard Percyton compared to Switzerland too. We're both extremely neutral, and don't like getting involved in armed conflicts unless to provide humanitarian or diplomatic aid. However, I think Switzerland has a lot more guns than Percyton.
Jaslandia, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
They look great, Vista! Keep up the good work!
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
I would like to personally introduce our first Foreign Ambassador!
From Homelands, here comes [nation=short]Pokemanland II[/nation]. Please, be friendly to our guest!

Aha...
Penguania And Antarctica
You mean 'militaristic', Percy?
Look pretty nice. However, I also think we should have a more universal set of banners in addition to these personal banners, so we don't have to modify the banners every time we get a new administration.
Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
If only more people would move near me so I could annex them lol

Penguania And Antarctica, Magnatronia
Nice Mr. President! 10/10
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
If and when we get a new official government seal (like Lat's old banners), I can certainly do that
I feel specialz
Jaslandia, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
Welcome, Pokemonland II!
Yes! That's the word!
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
Thanks! Do you guys raid?
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
No, nor do we defend, nor do we have a military :p lol

What is the government like?
Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
We're a presidential democracy, in which I'm President. We have a Constitution and a Law Code (WIP), as well as several ministers.
We also have a legislative, the House of Delegates.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton, Pokemanland Ii

Penguania And Antarctica
And a Judiciary! An awesome Judiciary, it's a great Judiciary
Jaslandia, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica
Heres the thing: You have no military. You could buld one, but saying it's written into your constitution, but I'd imagine it'd be difficult at best. Also, you've got borders with Bear and could be easily attacked by either alliance (the ITF could blockade you, as well. We wouldn't, but it's possible). What I'm saying is that you may be large, but your influence is dwarfed by your neighbors (excpet Denmark; whoever claims Denmark could be in the North Naboo Pact)
Vista Major
Jeez Bax, you've created an nation to last the ages!

Make it a movie
So, just gonna note for posterities sake....anyone who invades Flynn gets no weapons from Kalaron.
Penguania And Antarctica
Indeed. Well, it's really we (me and Oel), because we'd just be some Dutch people saying we're German if it weren't for him. He helped make the government and unite our houses together. But yes, the Kaiserreich will hopefully last for a long, long time.
Oelesa
Just gonna fix that for you
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica, Magnatronia
Don't know if it's a great idea. Flynn will either move or be diplomatically neutered because we surround him. We won't invade him, but if he moves, those lands are ours. I know that's a more meta thing, but I want to reassure you.
I would bring up the "you're an ITF member" argument, but companies don't apply, so you're within your legal boundaries to do this
Love that flag.
Vista Major, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
I mean, that and I'd be willing to pull out of the ITF over MW RP mark-2
You can do that. However, ITF member Aldaur is there trying to "reclaim is former glory". He want's the Pacific and, well, you're in the Pacific. I'll provide your company space if you'd need it, but I just want you to know the possible repercussions of leaving.
If it helps any, I'll gurentee your independence from Aldaur. Sorry Ald, but Kal's pretty cool and he has weapons.
I mean, I hate to invoke the boyfriend clause, but we're going WW1 in that case.
Andromitus
Alright. Just remember that I've got your back.
Bax...
Why are my northern provinces part of Ethiopia?
My bad. Was playing with the map and must've accidentally saved that part. I'll fix that.
Ok

List need.
Well, with the creation of the Reich, military expenditures will need to go through legislation. Our military is pretty huge, but I'll ask what we need from that military standpoint
I was considering creating a 155mm artillery Howitzer.
I figure that, using a modified KPS shell will probably make it super effective :P
I'll make sure to propose it to the Reichstag
Can't sleep.
Want.
To.
Invade.

Oelesa
In the meantime, I'm thinking of making another puppet based on the map:
1. Coastal multiethnic Arab state trying to modernize as a democracy while maitaining its culture (spot 32);
2. South American mountain state that is experiencing an insurgency in the northern provinces while growing increasingly authoritarian (spot 105), or;
3. Militaristic order trapped between maintaining peace under the threat of enforced socialism (spot 21).
Well you can only have one nation at a time, so choose wisely.
Based off the map: PK's still the nation on there, but I'm looking at the map to create a puppet with a history based on the location (just an independent project)
No matter what buy my sh!t ;P
Just don't burn it down and then blame a communist so you can take over as a dictator.
Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
Lol don't worry. The executives are two monarchs; that won't happen.
Nuremgard, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
Jesus, YouTube music ads piss me off more than they should. Judging by what I search on their sight they could have figured out that if I wanted to listen to whoever the f**k Rag n' Bone is already, I would have
Althought they will eventually fuse into ome house, so then there will be one monarch with executive powers.
We'll just wait to see how it goes.
Nuremgard

Adblock is your friend.
You don't need a dictator as you already have one.
Also, why two executive monarchs now and then only one? Does one lose their executive authority upon marriage?
Yukona
Right now, the executives of the Reich are Keizer Peter Beck ans Kaiser Jacob Streicher. However, I am marrying the heir of the Streicher throne, and insted of the child produced from the marriage belonging to one dynasty or another, we will simply fuse our houses into one called the House of Barbarossa. Then, when that child comes of age and takes the throne, they will represent both of the former houses, meaning one person will hold both positions, making it permanently one position.
