Yeah. All about saving money.

I just think it's a sick joke to shut them near Remembrance Day.

Welp, finally became MoFA of the Versutian Federation :p

It's a sick joke that German carnival season starts on this day every year at 11.11am.
Congrats !!
Pirate Kingdoms
Wow really? Yikes.
Killdash
Congrats!
Pirate Kingdoms
Yes. Carnival season starts every year at 11.11am on 11/11. Don't ask me why but it this date for a very long time.
Danke
Penguania And Antarctica
when is the next election?
Well, the soldiers themselves weren't fired, I'd imagine, just shuffled to the next base.
So, just so we're on the same page (I have no clue as to the situation in Scotland), what is going on there?
Hey, buying the best is expensive :P
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
The Scottish Government will legally challenge the UK Government in trying to stop Brexit. And a bill for a second referendum is being prepared for the Scottish Parliament.
Aldaur
See, alrighty, but I was asking in reference to Rem-Day.
Also, are the Scots trying to keep Brexit from being finalized, or no?
Interesting that Switzerland officially granted women's suffrage in 1971. Although the last canton officially adopted it in 1990.
Jaslandia, Killdash
Ah, right. Well the UK does its annual Cenotaph ceremony and 2 minute silence at 11am. And yes, the SG is trying to stop it happening or at the very least is trying to achieve a "soft" Brexit, i.e. staying in the single market, customs union etc. But in the end Scots will need to decide in a referendum if they want to become independent or not, and thus be given a chance to rejoin the EU.
We held silence for South African, Italian and Austrian troops today at Scouts.
Then we did a two minute silence for all troops.
Nuremgard, Aldaur
I was asking in reference to what was happening to the soldiers in the military bases on Rem-Day, we are seriously bad at communicating :P
I hope they succeed, Nurem, since most people (?) don't want to leave anymore.
I dunno what's happening to them.
I hope so too. Would like to see an independent Scotland in the EU.
They are closing 56 bases across the UK, 8 of which are in Scotland. This is supposedly to create space to build more houses and save money. But we all know it's because the government wants to spend more cash on Trident.
Funnily enough, my dad just got back from Faslane
Yeah. The Scottish opposition bangs on about Trident securing jobs at Faslane but most of thise employed there are English. They go home and spend their wages down south instead of in the local economy. So not only is Trident a disgusting waste of money, it doesn't even secure Scottish jobs.
I support Brexit and I hope it goes through all the way.
In a way I hope it goes through so we can get an independence referendum but in a way I don't because I want to stay in the EU.
Aldaur
Ideologically I support Scottish independence, but politically I support the UK and Brexit, so that was your markets move closer to America. We can create an Anglosphere market in the future.
I'd rather stick with the EU than retreat further into a corner with America. Especially since you psychos just elected the Umpa Lumpa.
Jaslandia, Aldaur
Yes, but if I have to be cautious of the spiders and other monsters of Australia that kill people regularly, I'll stay here.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
But I least I can listen to some good didgeridoos (I love that name).
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
And some glorious Aussie accents.
Jaslandia, Baxten, Aldaur
I'm sure you would lol
I meant for the Scots to succeed in keeping the Brit's from leaving >.>
I think another referendum should be held first, so that people can now choose whether to continue being insane or not.
Aldaur
Yeah I would.
We'll probably need to wait until the UK's Brexit deal comes through before we get another referendum.
Aldaur
Come. Come into our markets and our slaves!....er.....special allies ;) lol
Nuremgard
Probably, yeah.
I don't know, I hate the EU's way of saying "These people want to leave! I have the best idea ever though, let's punish them for wanting to not be a part of us!"
Aldaur
It's not punishing the UK. The EU is a collection of nation-states that want to preserve their own interests. There is nothing wrong with that. What's pissing the UK Government off is that the EU isn't bending over or licking Westminster's arse, and giving them whatever they want. The UK is leaving yet it's still stamping its feet and wanting its own way.
Jaslandia, Aldaur
Just had an interesting conversation with my friend's staunch Republican father. It was a pretty good conversation, to say the least.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Aldaur, Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
Were you screaming at each other and using vases as missiles?
Aldaur
Who's that ??
Aldaur
Sooooo can we rp soon? I'm getting bored.
I think an rp involving a civil war with cartels, rebels, the regime, jihadis and foreign powers would be fun. Maybe an attempted coup by a defected general. Idk, the more factions, the better :p

Well there were plenty of Scottish people there. Apparently it's not exactly a nice part of the area, so I doubt HMNB Clyde leaving would have good impacts
I'd vote to get rid of it in a heartbeat. At least if Scotland is independent, England would be forced to move it.
Of course it would be, and that is suggesting Wales and Northern Ireland would leave. How they would survive on their own is beyond me.
Nope, we had a civil discussion regarding immigration and LGBT rights, along with the idea of being an American while holding onto the heritage of your forefathers, as well as the divisive nature of identity politics.
Vista Major
Shall I play victim?
Aldaur
Northern Ireland would rejoin the Republic so they'd be fine. Wales would go indy or cling to England's arse. But don't worry. The whole Empire fell apart and they managed on their own, I think the UK home nations will do just fine without the benevolent oversight of Westminster.
Sounds like a lovely bonding session.
You don't have a military. I can't imagine anything this terrible happening in your country :p I think we should just make a fictional country like Keslana as Unf did.
Vista Major
I propose we call it the People's Democracy of Yovonaz

I'm planning one, but I didn't wanna step all over Unf's. And so you want a Syria one. Because I will give it to you. Just give me a minute.
Aldaur
Ooh, I should get in on Unf's one
Maybe send some ambassadors to assess the situation
Aldaur
I was thinking of a Central African communist dictatorship plagued by civil war between the regime and the rebels. However, the rebels are allied with islamic extremists and the regime is controlled by cartels made up of private companies exploiting the country's people and resources, as well as selling drugs, slaves and arms. Then there are mercenaries for hire for both sides, as well as a General who defects from the regime because it is controlled by cartels, but employs the use of child soldiers and brutally murders civilians. Then we as foreign powers get involved to sway the civil war and try and get humanitarian in. It also causes a huge refuger crisis :p
Vista Major
Post self-deleted by Baxten.
I don't know who Daryan would support in that conflict, even if the Islamic extremists were Shia. Cause I don't see Daryan as extremist as such (although recently they've been stoning atheists and evolutionary biologists so....yeah, probably the Islamists lol)
Killdash, Aldaur
Perhaps my former colony of the Congo can take over parts of the Baxtonian African Possesions and that's what gets it on the international stage? I've just gotta write an OP.
Aldaur, Vista Major
Africa does have plenty of free space

Aldaur
Oh. My. Gods. That sounds perfect.
Though Vista Major would be a little morally conflicted.
I love it.
Killdash, Aldaur
I think it'd be better if it had it's own separate territory. You could have one of your plans shot down by accidnet because of the conflict or something though.
No, the Congo is free now. It is its own territory due to the hole I left there
Aldaur
Oh I see, that should be fine then.
Aldaur doesn't know who we would support.
But Hollande said they would.

Admittedly, both links are to the same source, but I figure the quotes are probably safe.
Besides, I'm sure an actual deal could be made, provided the EU doesn't try flex their muscles to punish a sovereign state who is also an ally.
I don't care if they punish the UK or not. In a way I hope they do. The UK needs to be taken down a peg or two and be shown it cant just demand sh!t and throw its weight around like back when it was an imperial superpower.
What's a good name for a sh!tty Central African basketcase of a country? Lol

Pretty sure Muslims don't eat pork
The irony of it all
Nuremgard, Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
That's why they're rebelling. The nation's acronym is offensive to Islam.
Aldaur, Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
Soooo dipping our bullets in pigs blood like the US did in the Spanish-American War is a no no then? :p
Nuremgard, Vista Major
Like silver to werewolves lol
Aldaur, Vista Major
Well I guess we know Aldaur isn't supporting the rebels lol
Nuremgard, Killdash, Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
Who is Aldaur supporting?
Lavan Tiri, Aldaur, Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
Ehh... I think that's a myth.
http://www.snopes.com/rumors/pershing.asp
Lavan Tiri, Aldaur, Vista Major
I don't know yet. Maybe there are more moderate elements within the Khutongan Opposition. Or we may support the General if he stops using child soldiers. Maybe we'll support the Regime to create stability. Or we could just take over to establish harmony. Who knows. Aldaur is unpredictable.
Regardless, it's still a great idea lol
Nuremgard, Lavan Tiri, Vista Major
If it means defeating private industries, Vista may support the rebels, politically speaking.
Of course, we can always have a third side that wants the entire nation to die and be reborn anew, no rebels or cartels
Lavan Tiri, Aldaur
Sounds like the General :p
Lavan Tiri, Vista Major
Your support of moderates may set you on a collusion course with your Islamic buddies in the ME. ;)
Lavan Tiri, Aldaur
Saves money and time on both car insurance and saving backwater countries.
Lavan Tiri, Aldaur
Should I be worried? Or should you?
Nuremgard, Lavan Tiri
Well the military is bigger than Farahan's. ;)
Lavan Tiri, Aldaur
I foresee a future Vistonian Armed Forces
Gotta hit-up Kal for that
Lavan Tiri, Aldaur
Lol right, I am sure it is as big, advanced and as well trained as the Aldauri Legion. Not to mention our militaristic culture and imperialistic history :p
Nuremgard, Lavan Tiri
We could help train your armies by sending some advisors.
Lavan Tiri, Vista Major
Yeah well we'll just send in Jihadis to Islamify your country :P
Lavan Tiri
Just gotta unban our guns first. Give is a couple weeks to remove it from our Constitution
Aldaur
Good luck lol It's very hard to visit Aldaur (tourist waiting list. We're a very popular spot), nevertheless immigrate here. All new immigrants undergo reeducation and must become an Argentean. Our entire population belongs to the State Church and due to recent islamic terrorism, eating pork has become a immigration prerequisite. Not to mention that we constantly monitor our citizens through surveillance. We also take everyone's blood, fingerprints and DNA. We also don't accept refugees.
So again, good luck :p

State News
Reporter Cassidy Yang: The Aldauri government has just announced an initiative to share knowledge regarding genetic engineering and manipulation that has been highly successful in Aldaur to allies. This comes as a shock to the international community, given the secrecy of Aldaur's Bureau of Science.
Vista Major
*twitch*
Aldaur
We do genetic manipulation of children to ensure that we have minimal diseases. It is also used to attain desired traits and to make superior soldiers. A new genetically engineered ethnic group in Aldauri called Highborn have arisen in our culture, and have come to dominate the majority population. It's grand :p
I...hope you mean before conception.
Also, I'll pass on that strange research, doesn't seem peer reviewed.
Aldaur
I am your one stop shop to make the other lot rot.
Just point and shoot, I swear :P
Aldaur
We do careful genetic selection. So people requesting a license to have children must be genetically compatible. Then, before conception, we add or take away certain genetic traits. During the pregnancy, we monitor the health and genetics of the child very closely. If there are any problems with the baby that can be seen before the second trimester, the pregnancy is aborted. Abortion in Aldaur is only permissible in the cases of rape, the death of the mother and to prevent genetic apparitions. Aldauri have practice selective breeding for ages. In Ancient times, we simply left the defected abominations to the elements to finish the duration of what would be a miserable life. It is considered a kindness in Aldauri culture to be spared as such, and also makes for good genetic hygiene.
Of course barbarians have no appreciation for the finer art of combat. We instruct on Aldauri maneuvers, whichnhave proven to be quite successful in both conventional and guerilla warfare. Aldaur has quite a long history dealing with barbarous insurgents, so we know what we are doing.
In addition, we teach a hand to hand combat style very similar krav maga and muay thai, as well as a close quarters combat style similar to gurkha knife fighting.
OOC: I'm not really being a douche, I am just trying to make Aldaur an ultranationalist and Aldauri supremacist nation sort of like the Aldmeri Dominion in the elder scrolls :p
Nuremgard
Interesting. Turina is known for their unchecked quest for knowledge and innovation. While ethical and moral questions arise in most nations when testing/creating various technologies, Turina (and I'm assuming Aldaur as well) have no regard for such dilemmas. Turinians see science and knowledge as the highest test of human ingenuity. Thus, no Turinian morals/ethical stances stand in the way of technological advancement.
Aldaur, Vista Major
Well, You'll have to forgive my people, they tend to prefer blunt and direct action, mixed with foul play :P
Anywho, I wouldn't exactly call high-energy weaponry and a dedication towards developing the latest and most advanced vehicles to be dull, and while I won't focus on developing a national flavor of HTH combat, I will say that there is a reason Vis mentioned me :P
Aldaur
We have ethical standards. It is considered ethical to do this in Aldauri culture. We are quite cautious in regards to automation.
Technology is only as good as those who use them. Aldauri spend their whole life learning combat and how to conduct warfare.
Tserra is better though. :P
Whereas some states have a military, the Tserran Military has a state. Virtually every Tserran is, or has been a soldier, and a vast majority of those leaving the Tserran military join local militias. We do not often engage in wars, because we do not have to, our military is trained in a hybrid of elastic, and static defense, with a strong emphasis on defense in depth. We do not use foreign arms, only that which is made in Tserra, so we are completely independent in terms of weaponry.
The point is, Tserra may not be able to conquer another nation, but other nations damn sure cannot conquer Tserra. In the event anyone tried, they would be fighting a veteran, martial minded host consisting of nearly every man, woman and child.
Oh and we control Suez, and have absolutely no qualms about wrecking the canal just to deny our enemies usage of it.
So that is Tserra. We do war stuff. For the lolz. :P
