Second: Don't let idiots from other regions tell ya what to do.
Third: Nukes? Their [B]FORBIDDEN[/B] in the RP, but every nation has nukes here. (380 personally)
Jaslandia, Spanelsko
Hm....... well anyway if you want to test chemical missiles on civilians here in Iberia we provide just that, FOR FREE!
Thats why we have the MDA, ´´Madrid Area´´
We can also sell weapons, chemical weapons, terrorists, elite inquisition fanatics/christian commissars
NUKES NUKES!
Russkov Soviet
now that i think about it, Premier Aleksander, could UFIR buy some of your citizens to use as horses for our new cavalry divisions?
We would like if possible to buy 150.000
It would be the first step towards completing the project 1914.
Second edit, it is also the first step towards demilitarisation of UFIR.
Russkov Soviet
also before anyone from concord/normal people tells me WTF am i doing, well simply, UFIR goes back to 1914-1945 with its weapons, we will have outdated weapons, tanks, planes, ships if any, equipment (except for medical) and become completely ignorant of the world, while hating concord. WE will no longer want any war and simply ignore other nations.
Still better idea then the others i had.
Plan 1= dissolve our nation into 50 different states.
Plan 2= become dystopian hell like Axel and that means anarchy.
Plan 3= 1914
Russkov Soviet
Well... considering Calvary is "horse-mounted infantry"... It might be odd. Being anthro-equines, we don't have the traditional "human" Calvary. I might be able to send some of our soldiers, which are classified as Calvary since we don't use the term Infantrty anymore.
Spanelsko
Can i test my weaponized smallpox biochemical weopon (FSBW) on you civilians
Spanelsko
dafuq
Chemical weapons are not allowed to be used on other nations.
He said we could here
The principal of it is what keeps it from being allowed.
Alrighty... let's see here..
Just a fair warning to nation's bordering us (Europe). We are pulling a massive military operation around the Belarus region to test some of our new tanks, and our three 5th-Gen prototypes.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Lex Caledonia
-_-
I'm keepin' an eye on you...
Jaslandia, Lex Caledonia
Of course MEIN FUHRER!
Ok this joke is getting old i know.
But you can use your weapons here for testing.
how many civilians do you want to use?
Thank you, i personally meant more like your equine citizens (either criminals, maybe slaves, random civilians that just happen to be missing) as horses for my soldiers. Brainwashing and torture would be of course left to us so we would of course make those new citizens informed of the true and only ideology of iberianism and insanity.

will 1 or 10 M be enough? we can try to get more by any means..... ahhahahah
Ahhh.... I see
Spanelsko
will that be ok with you premier?
Also would it be possible for me to buy some special horses? by that i mean a horse that is strong and fast, either black or white.
Every Medieval General should have a great horse to his great armour.
Russkov Soviet
Hmmm.... I'll send 75,000. The prisoners will be genetically stripped of their "humanity" and will become actual horses again. (And a specially armored black one will be sent due to your whole...deus vult thing)
The fur colors are black, white, and gray
10 m
Spanelsko
hey i sent a telegram to lex caledonia can someone inform them of it or something?
I am aware but you have applied incorrectly. Telegram me with the correct application and I will get you sorted ASAP.
Umm, that kinda sounds messed up. Prisoners or not, I'm pretty sure something like that would be a gross human rights violation in the real world.
Russkov Soviet, Kalaron, Fuhrmania
Yee. I don't want to be mean, but that's pretty good reason for Kalaron at the least to refuse shipments to you tbh >.>
Well... then how would they be used as WWI Calvary then? Carry the humans on their shoulders? It is cruel, but we tell them why.
That is not an excuse for human's rights violations, though.
Jaslandia isn't ICly too worried about it (we're not particularly interventionist on stuff like this, and the Jaslandian populace is too fascinated by the idea of sentient horses to pay attention to any misdeeds by Russkov Soviet), but I'd just thought I'd give my take from an OOC perspective.
Then maybe don't use them as WWI cavalry at all then. And you can explain the circumstances to the prisoners as much as you want, but unless you get their consent, it's still cruel and unusual.
Human's rights violations are something we take incredibly serious in Kalaron. >.>

Alright.. Well... Then the potential trade with Spanelsko will be cancelled.

Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica

Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton, Spanelsko
In Nuremgard, I decided to protect the statue of a historical imperialist and slave owner. Was this the right thing to do?
Spanelsko
IMO yes. Remembering something isn't the same as venerating it, neither is having a statue of it. So long as Nuremgard understands that the slavery bit was bad, it's not terrible to keep a statue of it.
What if Germany had a statue of Adolf Hitler though? That would surely be unacceptable. If that is unacceptable, why would it be fine to have a statue of a slave owner?
Axeldonia
I was thinking actually putting nations in Stellaris but an RP may work out too
Jaslandia, Percyton
Because Adolf Hitler is worse than a slave owner who is worse than the average person. Comparing a slave owner to Hitler is way disproportionate.
Also Godwin's Law
And why is that?
Godwin's law does not mean the argument is lost by the way. That's a misconception. It just means the longer an argument goes on, the more likely it is that someone will mention the Nazis.
Also, is this how we are judging things now? Oh slavery isn't as bad as the Holocaust so that makes a statue of a slave owner okay.
I wasnt saying that. Just kinda a little side thing like "Hitler was mentioned". Nothing about wins or loses
Slave Owners were/are very bad. However, an argument can be made that Hitler, the man responsible for the death of 6 million Jews and many millions more is worse than a slave owner. Thats why I said Hitler is worse than a slave owner BUT both are still worse than the average human being (you and me)
If Im being totally honest, I could literally not care less about some stupid statues built centuries ago. I feel the whole statue thing is something blown way out of proportion by both sides of the aisle. Like if you wanna protest injustice do it in ways that are meaningful and will make change like protest during the Civil Rights Era. If you wanna keep a statue then dont b!tch and moan about how "muh freedoms" are being trampled and purchase it with money for yourself or, better yet, a museum (thats for the rich ones that complain) In my view, if you wanna take statues down, have a referendum and, if a simple majority want the statue gone, make the statue go away.
PS: I just got that issue. Seems kinda like an unfair thing to take away political freedons for that but thats NS I guess
Because there are differing levels of evil, and because it's not nessasarily unacceptable IMO.
Whether something is unacceptable of not depends on personal sensibilities and the specific context of the unacceptable action or object. To me, showing a simple statue is fine, glorifying the man is another matter altogether.
No, but not too strongly. It would've been the right thing to not protect those statues as a sign of progress, but protecting them doesn't mean that all of the progress that has been made on slavery and imperialism would've been reversed.
Surely having a statue of someone is glorifying them?
It's a complicated issue.
I know. Additionally, I would like to talk about what happened to statues of Saddam Hussein after the Iraq War. They got torn down. And it was just a simple statue. There were no questions about personal sensibilities or context. It just had to go.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWxszYK6IPU
I think it very much depends on who they were.
Hitler was an influential figure in German politics, having a statue of him standing, or commanding something isn't nessasarily a reflection of him as a saint, but as a commander of a nation that led them to horrid things. Like it or not he did at point lead the nation and the statue can reflect that and the evil that he did.
Glorifying him would be a politically motivated statue or picture IMO, one that would display him as a saint to the nation, alternatively, one could add plaques that function to the same effect.
That is true, yes. I can see it from both sides but ultimately, if statues of racists/imperialists/dictators are torn down, I wont lose much sleep over it. I remember seeing those images of the people pulling down the Hussein statues. It was awesome to watch them get one up on that arsehole.
Jaslandia, Vetriutan 2
Luckily there are no statues of Hitler.
Jaslandia, Percyton
Oh yeah. At the beginning of the war, most Iraqis supported the ousting of Saddam Hussein. He was a brutal dictator who brought Iraq into two unnecessary wars, killed his own people, and brought Iraq into debt and poverty. In fact, my dad supplied CDs and DVDs to the U.S. military. The people of Iraq wanted sensible leadership that could make Iraq the jewel of the Middle East. Unfortunately, that leadership never came. We used to have one Saddam, and now we have a thousand Saddams.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
It's heartbreaking. I think with the right circumstances, places like Iraq and Iran could be beacons of democracy and liberty in the Middle East, countries that could inspire change in their neighbours.

Oh. Well, either way, my app is mostly completed except for the flag. You can do with it whatever you want.
[spoiler]Name: The Commonwealth of New Sodor
Flag(will try best replication):
Species Name: Machina Nova (Machina for short)
Species Type*: Robot
Species Traits*: Mechanical, Robot, Industrious, Natural Engineers
Homeworld Name: Tidmouth
Homeworld Type*: Continental
City Appearance*: Humanoid/Robot
Star Name: Hatt
Brief Backstory: The origin of the Machina Nova species lies in a group of investors, who sought to turn the small planet of OHiggins-29b into a gigantic tourist attraction. A key feature of this attraction would be a transportation system that would link different parts of the planet, and connect the planet to other corners of the galaxy. The vehicles developed for this transportation system were a combination of road bus and mini-starship, but their outward appearance resembled various types of rail locomotives from Old Earth. And, to amuse the tourists even more, AI and robotic technologies were used to make these vehicles come to life. The investors envisioned an idyllic paradise where visitors would be amused by attractions like carnivals and theme parks, all while a friendly loco (as these hybrid vehicles were called) would smile and chat with visitors as they took them from place-to-place. However, this was not to be.
The AI that was put into the locos was more advanced than what the investors had in mind, and the project had barely begun development when the locos began to act in ways the investors didnt expect. First, the vehicles began to move on their own and drive themselves, which the investors werent expecting, but decided to embrace, figuring it would save them money on labor. Then the locos demanded things such as payment for their work, the right to marry each other, freedom of movement outside of work hours, and other basic rights. When the investors were hesitant to grant this, the vehicles threatened revolution.
By now, the investors had had enough; they did not sign up for sentient vehicles threatening revolution. The investors wrote the project off as a loss, and abandoned OHiggins-29b. The locos remained on the planet, however, as did some of the infrastructure that had already been completed. Now left alone, the vehicles formed their own society, with a new democratic government (as their experience with the investors made them leery of exploitation). However, the locos faced an identity crisis, having no previous experience or culture to build off of.
In the midst of this, one loco discovered a treasury and archives which the investors had abandoned. While the money was long gone, the financial advice and engineering books helped jumpstart the new states economy and infrastructure, while another set of items provided the cultural foundation for the locos: the Railway Series childrens books by the Reverend Wilbert Awdry and his son Christopher, several seasons of the associated TV series Thomas and Friends, and various supplementary materials from throughout the franchise's history. As both these works also contained sentient vehicles, the locos gravitated toward them instantly, using them as the building block for their society: planets and cities were renamed after locations in the Railway Series and TV series; people named themselves after characters from the childrens franchise; and phrases from the series like Really Useful Engine and confusion and delay entered the popular lingo. The crowning achievement of this was when the locos renamed themselves Machina Nova (Latin for New Engines or New Machines), and their state the Commonwealth of New Sodor.
Today, the Machinas of New Sodor are a proud and peaceful bunch, though their experience with the investors has ingrained in them a skepticism of foreigners. Still, the Machinas are a likable group, willing to trade and exchange (both goods and ideas) all across the galaxy, and determined to be Really Useful in order to serve as an example to the rest of the galaxy. Only time will tell if the Machinas' peaceful ways will spread across the universe, or if the Machinas' pacifistic nature will lead to them being devastated and crushed by a superior power.

Everything about Yemen is a mess. After Saleh was replaced by his vice-president in 2012, Yemen was going to have its first free elections. Unfortunately, the Saudis, who were behind this change in leadership, kept rolling back the election schedule. This series of events would lead to instability in the country, all culminating in the Battle of Aden Airport, which would begin the Yemen Civil War, which would then later draw in the Saudis in support of Hadi, while the Iranians would support the Supreme Political Council. This foreign involvement would further destabilize the country as the Iranians would support the Houthis, while Saudia Arabia would bomb civilian centers and blockade the country to the point of famine. Right now, 50,000 children are expected to die in Yemen by the end of this year. This civil war could very well be the worst humanitarian disaster of the 21st century. In fact, the entire Middle East would probably deserve that title. Hundreds of thousands are dead while millions more starve and flee their homes for safety.
And what does the US do? Does it actually try to fulfill its role as the "world's policeman" and bring an end to this bloodshed? No. Instead, we decide to illegally give the Saudis cluster bombs and commit drone strikes ourselves in a war against Yemen.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Mercunova
I am aware of this: Yemen is basically the physical embodiment of all the negative qualities in the Middle East that developed from the Arab Spring and Arab Winter. Hadi is obviously a puppet dictator that is under the Saudis and isn't even inside Yemen, South Yemen has already formed another secessionist government and is opposed to Hadi, and the Houthis are probably going to end up battling Saleh's forces due to the Houthis killing him before he could switch sides. Basically, Yemen is Hell by this point.
