Good luck to all candidates in the election! Me and Thomas always love seeing democracy in action, and we encourage everyone who is able to go out and vote. The future of the region lies in your hands. Or maybe 'in your keyboard', since we're doing all this over the Internet.
Jaslandia, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica
I'm sure you can't be THAT old. Besides, I think age is more of a mental thing: I'm a little over a hundred years old at this point, and I still feel just like a young engine!

I VOTED!

Question that just popped up in my head:
How do you type without hands ?
I'm not sure if you already answered that or not.
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Continental Commonwealths, Percyton
Russian Fedration, Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Pirate Kingdoms, Percyton
I don't do any typing; it would never work with my wheels. I tell my Driver and Fireman what to type, and then they type it and post it here.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
How can you be sure they type the right things ?
Percyton
Usually they'll show me before they post anything, but if they can't show me first for some reason, then I just trust them to post the right thing: I've worked with my current Driver and Fireman for years now, and we have a pretty strong connection and bond. Once in a while they'll make a typo or two, but otherwise, they're wonderful people!
(Percy's driver here. My name's George, and Percy's fireman here is named Alec. Great to meet you all, and feel free to holler at us if you need something!)
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Ah okay.
Good to hear that. :)

I love you and this wonderful expansion of the Thomas the Tank Engine universe that I never knew I needed in my life
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Expansion indeed. Though, I imagine an independent island nation ruled by the engines is far from what Reverend Awdry (creator of the original book series) and Britt Allcroft (creator of the TV series) had in mind.
Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Goodnight, Peng!
Penguania And Antarctica
*sniff* I needed this
Night, love you pengy
Percy and Peng man, rays of pure fµcking sunshine
The rest of you lot on the other hand ;)
Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Alright, I see how it is Andy /s
Jaslandia, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Thanks all! It feels good to be loved.
Goodnight, Peng!
True; they both decided to leave out the stuff about engines running the island, but other than that, both the books and TV series are pretty accurate, and both Awdry and Allcroft are well-liked and respected on Sodor. They've both visited the island a few times, in fact.

I received my Conservative Party leadership ballot in the mail today, so I actually get to vote twice today!
For a political junkie such as myself, that's basically better than crack.

Or a campaign slogan!
Vote Continental Commonwealths- he's better than crack!
Are you going to tell me differently? Have you done crack?
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Andromitus, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
Now I wanna vote for you.
But yea, it could work in a local election. State or national, though...
Jaslandia, Andromitus, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
How hardcore are state elections? Every now and then I remember that state senators are a thing and I'm like, "awh, that's cute- maybe one day you can be a real senator!"
Jaslandia, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica
I mean, it depends. In Louisiana, our last governor f*cked up our economy, so state government is an actual big deal at this point as it will shape our future forever. That's not an exaggeration.
Russian Fedration, Jaslandia, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica
Do you just have a link for everything?
Okay, gotta come out, that and the "better than crack" have both actually made me laugh out loud

Anyone wanna Sell Afghanistan some arms ... I mean i LOVE ! The T-55 ... but uh.... Yea the T-55 Isent a Good Tank into days standards
Arms selling isn't my forte, but I have the highest SA in the region so would you like some hover tanks?
Russian Fedration
So, next question, how do none of the candidates for President, and half of the candidates overall... have no (linkable?) campaign dispatches? Or am I making something out of nothing?
Russian Fedration, Penguania And Antarctica
If that was the name of the game id be useing my own!!! lol
but no modern Tech Afghanistan and MT RP dosent say crunchy to that
Oh no they just dont .
and why they didnt is a mystery beyond me
Penguania And Antarctica, Atokad
Only some made a campaign dispatch. While it was encouraged, only some did it. A dispatch isn't required, so yeah.

I'll probably remove the no-links to avoid confusion

Best of luck to all candidates this election, and happy voting to the electorate! Make sure to turn in your ballots, everybody- this party only happens once every 60 days!

In such a case would you like some late model M60s? I'm not on the map but I'm sure it can be arranged.

I Use the Chems and WP.
is that really that big of a issue ?
Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Okay. Points for cleverness.
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
Quick clarification, you use chemical weaponry?
You can't be President without it
Well...
Penguania And Antarctica
Yeppers im not sure what kind tho yet.
A Movement to Believe In
Penguania And Antarctica
Yes, it is.
Inhumane weaponry is literally the worst.
I honestly dont see it that why but ok.
You'd catch a lot of flack from my nations
But, you know, no military yet
Yes, Kal, I'm working on it
Russian Fedration
With that in mind, I'm currently suspending my offer for the sharing of Settlement Technologies with the Russo-afghanis :-/ Andromitus actively and openly condones any nation that uses a weapon of mass destruction.
You might mean "condemns"
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica, Magnatronia
Shut up! its 11:43 and I'm tired :-/
Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica
CC's right, it's condemns dude. Condones it literally the opposite of what you mean. Unless you're actually condoning it. Which would be horrific.
Jaslandia
When are the winners announced btw? This election season dragged on forevar.
Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
Don't gotta, every other nation agrees that a weapon meant to horrifically scar or maim the enemies of one specific nation is horrid enough for a condemnation.
I don't deal in Thermobarics, I don't deal with Chemical weapons and I don't deal with the nations that use 'em.
That needs to be a sign somewhere tbh.
The empire never left Andy's blood.
Aghrabia
WEll thats heavily Depressing....yippie....
I firmly belive its every nations duty to defend its self no matter what cost.
#Depressing
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Atokad
Than do so efficiently, death and pain should not be glorified or objectively horrible. If you have to kill, kill with dignity, and those weapons do the opposite, their existances is simply disgraceful and inhumane, and to a civilized people, unthinkable.
Read above, I know, and I apologize for my crimes against language
(You don't have to answer this tonight, IDK your timezone)
Can you help me understand thermobaric weaponry? I'm have'n a little trouble my self :-/
Hail Imperator Velacruz! Unity to the New World! Sieg Āndrea!
*crowd chanting*
Sieg Āndrea! Sieg Āndrea! Sieg Āndrea!
Jaslandia
Its a military too! Death is never ment to be Pretty or clean . I feel like this is just some false reasoning. Besides Assad Chems havent done anything.
and if there made the right way they can be "Humane"
Thermobarrics are fun
Until an international organization (of which I am a member; no UN trying to force their laws down my throat when I am not a member) mandates that I can or cannot use it, I'm going to use whatever is most effective.
Which, economically speaking, I can probably kill more enemies through the use of shredder bullets with the added bonus of a lower cost than I can nerve gas, and escape the pesky "do-gooders" that want to make humanity's favorite pastime humane.
Russian Fedration, Magnatronia
Hi!
Russian Fedration, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Heyo!
Jaslandia, The Vidnoye, Penguania And Antarctica
*Claps*
*applause*
*Whistles*
A thermobaric bomb is a Fuel-Air explosive that is much more energetic than it's typical counterparts.
It tends to have an extreme pressure wave that will destroy organic cavities such as the intestines and lungs, as well as rupturing veins alongside other nasty effects.
Of course, some also spray their fuel into the surrounding air, causing those in the area to either get a nice coating of toxic fuel before being immolated.
If they survive that, they have a significant chance of the negative pressure inside of the post-blast area ripping their lungs out through their mouth.
Real damn friendly of us, ain't it?
First, there is no real way to create a humane and universally discriminatory weapon, however, Chemical Weapons are impossible to control beyond their initial deployment due to the undeniable fact that their effectiveness and targets are wholly determined by [B]wind[/B].
In WW2, Hitler had enough sense not to use them because of how he knew his troops would get slaughtered, same with the Allies, though they were also worried about publicity.
It simply doesn't make sense to deploy weapons which indiscriminately kill without the slightest control beyond praying for prevailing winds.
Besides, I've yet to see a weapon that did? The closest is a literal Nerve Agent that would choke you to death by keeping your lungs from inflating, or Blood Agents that cause for your very blood to be unable to metabolically process and allow your survival.
If the Victim ain't meant to be dead before he knows it, then you've fuvked up in designing your "Humane" Chemical Weapon.
Well, you can kill more civilians without Kevlar or Ceramic inserts when using HP Ammunition, that's for sure.
TBF the US military is -regrettably- a good example of having our morals below our belt. We employ Thermobarics then preach at others not to.
Russian Fedration
I use them in grenades for the Troops like to clear a Biulding of Defenders .
IDGAF if it means that my nations Survives and can live on ill Gas Preschools if i have to
and oh i can rant about americas hypocrisy lol dont start me lol
Fµck, just, just fµck thats awful
Jaslandia, Kalaron
Ever see one in use? its actually quite Beautiful.
My Fav Vid of it TBH
https://youtu.be/bjW3kMNaW2o?t=2m20s
But it wouldn't lead to your nation's survival at all.
There is no situation where a chemical weapon is anything more than marginally superior to a less cruel alternative, and in many cases...it's actually worse?
In RL this leads to things like the ME, where a group of people get sick of the chemical attacks, seek god, and find him in killing y'all.
The Israeli's try the same damn "I'll do worse to you!" line on Palestine whenever they shoot some sugar-rockets over the boarder, then they follow through and bomb the sites while knowing how many people it'd kill...despite doing that though, they're still hated -if not hated worse- by the populace who now froths at the mouth for the destruction of Israel.
Any war where you start dropping Chemical weapons on the enemy populace will end with radical members conducting terror strikes in your nation, likely using the very same weapon you used on them for the sake of Irony and to show your civilians what it feels like.
Winning Hearts and Minds is really the only model of warfare that works, in any event.
I don't say this often, but it's a disgusting weapon that should have been barred from use a long, long, time ago.
Jaslandia
You and I have a very different way of perceiving beauty
(And just to be clear, this conflict is IC, OOC I don't actually hate you, your a nice dude :P)
Russian Fedration
Ive know i make things personal . sorry bout that.
yea i know beauty in the normal Sence but that in the battle field...Send them Packing.
Yea you make a Good Point but im not a Unstable minded simpleton like Assad or Ben in isreal. I dont make it my Goal , its a Last Resort thing , The President, The 15 Judges of the Supreme Court and a Super Majority in Congress along with the 251 members of the Commanders Committiee All have to agree that the Use of the weapons is in our best interest .
I like you
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand youre on another watchlist..

Post self-deleted by Friedensreich.
Who are the current most dangerous nations on our RP planet?
Oops, made an error in my math.
I was operating under the yuan, when my PPP factor was in HKD, which made my GDP (PPP) more than a trillion lower than it was supposed to be. Not surprising, because the Hong Kong dollar is minuscule compared to the yuan and USD.
So I reclalculated my GDP (basically adding up the GDPs of Hong Kong, Macau, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan), and made sure to convert it from the yuan to the HK$. From there I calculated the GDP (PPP) like the last time, by dividing it by the PPP factor of .139375 (Coca Cola Index- 1 two liter of Coke in Hong Kong is 16HK as opposed to 2.23$ in NYC; divide 2.23 by 16 and get .139375).
From there, the GDP (PPP) is in the HK$, but I want to convert this to my currency. So, I convert it to the USD so I can convert it to the do'kham. This nets me 6.416 trillion USD.
Finally, I convert the USD to my currency (1 d'K= 1.83 USD) by multiplying this 6.416 trillion by 1.83. This gives me a grand total of 11.742727 trillion.
This has also had a direct effect on my GDP per capita, which raised it from ~29,777 d'K to 33,550.65 (rounded up from 33.550.648).

Right here!
You will tolerate our personal and political freedoms, or will be introduced to the Freedom Shredders®!
Fr though, I really don't want to be a military power. I was one of those in TNI and it got boring shuffling an ungodly large air force around. Now I'm hoping to become an economic powerhouse in Asia and build up a trade empire.

Tell you what though mate that crack is really moreish
That is actually a very good question. We should have a vote.
Which nation(s) are the scariest?
Which nation(s) are the most dangerous?
Which nation(s) are the friendliest?
Which nation(s) are the most peaceful?
Which nation(s) are the most (insert descriptor here)?
The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Jaslandia, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica, Tserra, Yukona
I would most likely be one of the scariest considering that I'm literally a PMC that has taken over a country. The good news is that there are no longer homeless people and unemployed people in southern India. But at the same time we have the money to literally straight up buy what we need and the resources to invade most nations but we won't because that just kinda gets rid of our possible employers.
Also......
I smell a Fantrum
Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica
Just buy our tanks.
Eh fvck that polish piece of sh!t moves on to a sexier tank
Russian Fedration
To be honest, I'd have to say no one. If someone used these inhumane weapons on our world, they'd be embargoed left and right and lose all allies, making them powerless and susceptible to be slaughtered by the bombings of one of the many alliances who one day decide they actually care about humanity.
Jaslandia, Yukona
Again when does a PMC ever give a sh!t about the rules of war or even being humane. It's why people don't like them but use them because of plausible deniability and effectiveness.
