Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
That's assuming that Flynn doesn't start decades before, which as far as I remember, he did.
If you gave a nation the size of New York forty years to research and develop ways to get to the moon, they would still be in a....[B]astronomically[/B] better position than their opponents.
Going from a purely factbook based stance -which I hope we do because stats, we know, is messed up- then Flynn still earns the first position, because he's the only one that poured thought into it.
Honestly, couldn't wait that to happen. Like I've been storing that photo for quite a long time and couldn't wait to post it. Take it like I kinda speed up time and humans went on Mars finally.
Killdash, Yukona
As an RP official, that's not a good explanation for something that makes very little sense and would not happen in the real world (in reference to going from just being in space to just landed on mars), and wouldn't happen anywhere near the modern day (in reference to landing on mars).
Killdash, Kalaron
What's up with this? RP talk?
Well thank God we are not in the real World. :)
Some people are not happy with a lot of things that I don't care about. :P
*Is a nation based off of New York*
Yukona
Lat. You can go around saying that you landed on mars all you want. All I'm saying is, other people aren't at all compelled to recognize it. Especially since the majority of people here RP modern tech, as in modern day real world technology.
You go galavanting around that you were the first to land on Mars, I don't have to, and will not, recognize it. As Daddy Unf once said, no one has to recognize YSL.
Aghrabia, Kalaron
I didn't ask for anybodies recognition, especially yours.
Could you guys cool it? Seriously, the RMB is starting to look like the ESU before it was abandoned and raided.
Aghrabia, Yukona
Anyways, Jim, how ya doin
How are you Magnatoria... Sorry I keep forgetting the name of your old nation. Was it Artic States or something?
My name isn't Jim but okay XD
I'm just listening to some tunes, trying to finish homework. Then I'm gonna apply for housing at my future college. Later on I'm gonna consider whether I wanna start the first of a potentially 3-part RP where I have Dr. Wily's assistant try to overthrow his regime with the help of a rebellious 20-something with a death wish and a wicked motorcycle.
Latrovia
Yeah! Surprised you remembered the old typo XD
Read above^
Hey I need to apply for housing too! And for context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnBcrfhMG14
You always have a thing with your own regimes. Like how many leaders have you overthrown and how many times did you destroy your nation?
Hey, one of those was a false flag assassination that I used as a pretext to invade Kumania, the other one you destroyed (unfairly I might add), the last one I sacrificed to clean up the mess you made starting from the aforementioned casualty of your EMP satellites. I also had one that was legally elected.
Aghrabia
Plus, with this one, I'm gonna take feedback from you guys to see whether I really should kill off Wily.
Well you invaded Oak Leaf. So PLR (your ally) allied with me and took down your country. So, um, sorry I guess, wanna start over? :P
Naaahhhhh Arctic States is dead.
But I always have fiddled with the idea of starting an RP where the one that was nuked wasn't actually nuked, but was sent into a parallel universe (this one)!
Latrovia
That would be spooky as hell. But yeah (this one) ain't that much into RP. Like in the ESU, we were heavily RP the entire time. I still can remember the anger of PLR when the UK prevented them from doing a lot of their nasty things around the world. :P
Eh, he was hot headed. And I was edgy tbh. We both had our reasons for wreaking havoc. Darn shame we couldn't do it then. I still can though!
btw is anyone in Discord
I'd like to propose a daily post here on the RMB called "Song of the Day", being the unofficial vaporwave nation of the region, I nominate myself for this role.

Goddamn that is some funky futurefunk (I think that's the genre)

You'll see a slight aesthetic theme in the daily music picks. The cool thing is almost every genre has some sort of aesthetic so it'll be a good time for our region's citizens to expand their music preferences.

Not a bad idea, so long as you still include some stuff besides vaporwave; I have nothing against vaporwave, I just want a little diversity in our songs. Perhaps allow people to nominate songs for you to post?

*News Flash*
This just in, the Azaehir primary server was just hacked, thousands of personal passwords were just released, and the entire cities power grid shut down. The breach happened around 5:00 PM EST, but news reporters weren't able to get to the city after it was quarentined. As of now, the technological gem of Andromitus, Azaehir, is in complete mayhem, All public systems are offline, with automated taxi-cars and personal vehicles running haywire. Several planes had just recently crashed outside the city as well in a multi-plane collision.

Breaking! News Drone 4 has picked up what looks like a rally! We're patching you all into audio now,
*the crowd can be heard chanting* Æden Prevails! Æden Prevails! Æden Prevails!
"They Mock us even now my brothers and sisters, in a matter of an hour, the great city of Azaehir, the cornerstone of the retch of Æden has been neutralized. These "Vipers" as they call themselves, they mock our ways, our customs. I swear unto you my siblings, the thieves who've stolen our likness, the "Era Two" as they're called, we will find them, and burn them to the ground.
Æden Prevails! Æden Prevails! Æden Prevails!
*Shots are begning to fire as a police blockade closes in on the crowd, cries can be heard as Eviants and what seem to be Era One Vipers alike scatter in all directions.
Æden Prevails! Æden Prevails!
Go my siblings, find the usurpers, and we will bathe the Earth in their blood!
---
What a turn of events, it seems a clan of Era One Vipers have resurfaced, oh! Azaehir's lights just came back on! And Road blockades, used to alleviate floods are coming up to contain the rioters! Chaos still reigns as the Police force tries to maintain order, I can only imagine the destruction this half and hour must have caused! This is The World Report, signing off!

The sounds of screaming and roaring flames only revealed a small section of the devastation that had consumed downtown Casablanca. In the midst of the destruction, a solitary man strode through, visibly carrying only a phone with him. Eventually, he found a suitable spot and turned the phone on, setting it to stream onto a social media account based outside of Aghrabia, in order to stop the government from shutting the video down. He was wearing a loose-fitting robe and a veil used to cover his face that were not unlike those used by Bedouin tribesmen in the Sahara. Coughing slightly from the dust in the air, he began to speak:
"Hello Aghrabia! Look before you and tell me what you see? Destruction, perhaps? Loss of life? I will tell you what I see: another victory for Islam and true believers, infidels though some may be, the world over. Before you, you see the handiwork of the Vipers, a group that has only the best for the people in the world in mind. We of the Brotherhood of Serpents are putting our full support behind the Vipers and will aid them in anyway possible. They're coming Ahizoune, they're gonna get you. We will...!"
A shout, quickly followed by a bullet stopped him from finishing his sentence. Dropping the phone, he swiftly turned around. A line of what must have been some of the members of the infamous Aghrabian Military Police Corps- known for their brutal tactics in handling protests. With the phone filming everything from where it had landed on the ground, he stood before the advancing soldiers, lifting his robes to reveal an improvised bomb, before yelling "Islam Prevails, Allahu Akbar!"- making clear his intention to die for his ideals. This wish was soon granted, though not quite in the way he wished, as a shot from one of the advancing troops dispatched him into the afterlife a few seconds earlier than planned, not allowing him to trigger the device attached to his torso. More discussion in Arabic followed, before the phone was noticed by a troop- who indicated towards it urgently. Seemingly calm, another walked in its direction, his body slowly filling the screen with the black armour covering it. Then, suddenly, the soldier brought his heel up and started to vigorously smash it with his foot- until the light of the screen died and the recording finally stopped, leaving only the screams of the dying to ring in the ears of those watching...

TL;DR Viper attack on Casablanca, Islamists throw their support behind them.
In fact, the resource is tragically unexploited, given its renewability and environmental safety.
