It almost feels as if were prisoners in our own nation, protests Adele Tolkien, while being hauled off to custody by several officers wearing pegs on their noses. As much as we love Spanelsko, not all of us want to live or work here, especially when there are better opportunities elsewhere. I was all lined up to take on an exciting new teaching job in Maxtopia, only for government goons to appear at my door to tell me I couldnt. How is that fair? The ban on emigration must be lifted!
Well you are prisoners you idiot. (issue about the ban on immigration)
Jaslandia
Having a ban on emigration makes sure that our resources, I mean people, remain in Spanelsko, reminds one of your most trusted, and sycophantic, advisers. In fact, Id recommend tougher enforcement of the ban. Oh! What about a massive wall surrounding our borders manned by armed guards? Huge guard towers! Tank and helicopter patrols! Freakin tigers with freakin lasers on their heads! We must spare no expense in keeping our iron grip - er, our loving hand - on every last Spanelskoan!
I like this guy, so from now on this is a new law and we will build a wall to keep the french out and make them pay for it!
The Talking Point
Minefields are being deployed along the border to discourage potential emigrants from trying to leave.
Beautiful..... well except that we cant have the lasers on tigers..... but at least they can eat the people on the way!

'Shoot the Villager' has become a popular pastime in the nation's armed forces.
OOC this made me laugh
Oh dear... these bloody issues are really messing things up. Thanks to some issues, that I was unable to identify, uh...
The "Underwear of Women in Power" is now nearly sold out in our national Stalliongrad Times. .. While our mares are beautiful, they really resent such a thing. Everyone wants human smut these days. And don't even get me started on that {CENSORED} issue that claimed that "people say that I keep nudes of the bloody Emperor of {CENSORED} Maxtopia! I can't tell you HOW many times we've been at war with them, save for dropping the NUKE on them. Sigh.. I need a drink.
Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Spanelsko
Tigers with lazers? Pfft. I'll let our illegal lab whip some up for ya.
And how do your soldiers play "Shoot the Villager"? We only have "Stab Facist with Bayonet" and "Shoot Traitor with Tank".
Jaslandia, Spanelsko
You invade other nations and find a village (can be your own village) and you shoot the people of the village, the soldier with the biggest amount of kills wins. Price is up to you of course.
Russkov Soviet
That sounds wonderful. I think I'll play this game with Maxtopia! (See previous posts to get my decision.)
Spanelsko
Have fun!

He took the 3 disciples to the mountainside to pray.
His appearance was modified, his clothing was engulfed in flame.
Then two men appeared, Moses and Elijah, they were by his side.
As Peter spoke, a cloud appeared, the face of God was covered in a cloud.
I shudder to repeat God's words, he said, "This is my son the beloved one. Listen to him."

I recommend that the people here take the Electoral System Test. Just remember that you will have to load "unsafe" scripts for the test to work. I got Parallel Voting as the best electoral system for me.
https://www.idea.int/data-tools/tools/best-election-system-test
In Wyoming we have elections every 5 years for all possible positions of government.
January 2nd is election day and all positions are limited to 2 terms.
So you will vote for president, sheriff, senators, dog catchers, everything all at the same time.
And whatever the choices, you deal with them for 5-10 and then everyone changes.
Jaslandia, Percyton
How does voting process process work? What does the ballot paper look like? How is the winner determined?
Your counterinsurgency has been killing rebels on sight - along with their family, friends, and local postmen.
Genocide intensifies*
There isnt anything better then publicly executing civilians and blaming insurgents! (and thats what we did in this issue)
We should probably round up a whole boatload of our own citizens and ship them over to settle the place, your Minister for Labour Manuel Longfellow says eagerly. I suggest the unemployed. We could send them over, have them occupy the territory for us, and then lay the groundwork for a new, more stable nation. And if individual Brasilistani disagree? Well well give our settlers some weapons and let them sort out disagreements.
Colonialism intensifies*
Aha! Ha-ha-ha, your Chief Science Officer Professor Maxx von Strangehate cackles. Occupy! What a silly goat you are! No, leader, what we should do is use Brasilistan as a nuclear testing site. Think of it! Wed get rid of all our problems in one easy go, and prove to the world at large how powerful we are! Its not as expensive as occupation and therell be no gas bill at the end of it either. We already have the weapons, all we need is your say-so!
Nuclear genocide intensifies*

Teach them what? That we care about abstract concepts like diplomacy and dialogue? rebukes Kanya Schmidt, a hawkish Air Force Commander, pounding her fist into her open hand for emphasis. Its clear that they wont fold easily when theres so much profit at stake, but if we bomb the government, whoever is still left will accede to any of our demands.
Are we really going to bomb into hell another nation just because they burned down forest and the smoke came to our land? yes we will. did they forget that we are insane!?
Napalm is the tool of choice for disabling eco-unfriendly forestry operations. Not ironic at all.....

Aldwood
Don't jinx it, mate.
Now it's my food industry that's having a run of bad luck. Earlier today I got an Issue about green caterpillar meat being found in food, and so I put more regulations on food processing. But I guess that didn't work, because I just now got an Issue about increased reports of food contamination. Perhaps my regulations didn't work? Maybe I need to try a different approach?
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
Maybe it's not the regulations in general? Maybe you need a different type of regulations? It could also be just bad luck and coincidence, considering this is NS.
Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
You might have a point regarding different type regulations. I went with the boiling food option. Let's hope that does the trick.

Just a small report, INBWU has started war mobilisation of all its forces.
Also finally thanks to PLR we have finally managed to build the first 70 T-62 tanks. (got blueprints from them before their collapse)
Hm, just curious, why are you building T62?
That tank was designed in the 60s, even the last production run of them was before Reagan was president...
Heck, the Iranians stopped upgrading them almost 20 years ago and the only reason North Korea still fits them with new targeting packages is because they have so damned many of them...
It's kinda like starting new production of an antique car just so you can strip them down and make hotrods out of them...

So my fascist country has kept employment relatively steady and improved the economy by 2 classifications.
Hmm maybe there is something to this fascism thing. Mussolini did make the trains run on time after all...
Jaslandia, Percyton
What country is it? I mean name or hyperlink
Cesorion
Fascism drives economic growth through the elimination of the weak. In practice this means awarding "strong" companies with lucrative contracts and eliminating "weak" companies through punitive license requirements and regulation.
This leaves an economic vacuum which larger companies fill, hence driving growth...
Now follow this to it's natural conclusion and ask yourself how sustainable it is...
You'll see how sustainable we are.

Yup, no USA; Germany was a colonial power; USSR was the USCS; and South America gets Ædenism instead of Socialism
I can understand that but at the same time it would probably be cheaper and better to RP development of a NEW MBT rather than trying to reserected that old Soviet tank.
Or, conversely, just buy a bunch of them from any communist nation, old Soviet block countries have these things laying around like Chevy pickups in Alabama.
Just an opinion.
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia
Or you could just "buy" a MBT from one of the hundreds of NS storefronts, most of those guys do a great job of RPing realistic designs
´´Hated by the entire world for war crimes, slavery, genocide, mass murdering based on race, supporting terrorism, bombing own civilians for fun, cannibalism etc.´´ yeah, right we could buy tanks from others surely........
Also even communists hate us since you know we are actually fascists.....

BUT do you know how much money it would cost just to transport it here?! not to mention the cost of the tanks them self.
Then again i could sell few people as slaves to my friends. (around 30.000-60.000 people could be good)

Upgradable T54s are like $10k, you couldn't buy the steel or ship it by scrap weight for that, lol
Just saying, there are some realistic budget options out there that would make more sense than tooling up a whole industry to build outdated MBTs
Is it only me that finds it ironic that nation that has freedom as its motto is trying to get me to buy tanks from black market? While we defend the right to be slave of our empire........
