Did you guys know that you can hear if water is hot or cold ? It's true.

*whispers in ear* Tory Brit, ya totty-headed twiddlepoop
A Scotsman RPing as a Russia-esque empire raging at the English for perceived inclination with the Conservatives. The Englishman, RPing as a militaristic Canada-esque state, retorts with accuracy towards the generalization before complaining about the Scottish National Party. This argument, of course, is in jest as shown with Shrek references and the overall stupidity of the argument.
Jaslandia
so, war is finally being added.
Pretty much.
And Nuremgard isn't an empire.
Jaslandia
Ha! Hard mode. That's funny.
I just stick to arming myself to the teeth and killing anything that moves. It's way more fun taking out the entire population of New Vegas with an automatic grenade launcher than it is dealing with Legion hitsquads.
More of an assumption given the size of Nuremgard (if the map in the factbooks serves as Nuremgard pre-revolution), though I'm aware of the constitutional monarchy system.
I still have too much of 3 in my mind: also, Boone and ED-E help with killing Fiends and hit squads to sell their loot and buy stuff from the Gun Runners
When Nuremgard was an empire, it ruled all of the Soviet states plus Alaska, Poland, Finland and Norway for a time.
And thus I stick with smaller nations: how you guys RP as megastates without looking at the smaller groups hurts my head
Well I don't really RP although I did alter part of my history in preparation for joining a WW1 type RP in the future. I did consider making Nuremgard into Germany instead, or maybe one of the Scandinavian countries since the culture would fit better. But I stuck with Russia. Nuremgard is basically Russia if it was totally Europeanised.
I'm in the top 10% most pacifist in the region >:^(
Yukona only has 16 million people and the majority of the land is either prairie or tundra
<<< Top 1% in the world for pacifism. You lot are warmongering barbarians.

If you attack me I swear to Christ I'm gonna put so many chemicals in your water you better get some paint 'cus you're gonna be orange not red
Nuremgard
yuk we're not going to attack you we're going to blockade you to experiment
we're trying to figure out if, when faced with dwindling resources and a breakdown of society, a state of anarcho-capitalism will develop :^)

Nuclear apocalypse? Oh dear, oh dear. This is bad, really, really bad! I'll get Diesel 10 to prepare the bunkers and anti-missile systems right away!
How awful! It's always sad when a railway is closed, but for the entire thing to just be abandoned? That's even sadder. Maybe someday someone will restore the New York, Ontario and Western Railway to its former glory. I'd support something like that.

Don't worry, Percy. The Jaslandian military will likely be pretty swamped with the nuclear apocalypse, but we'll still do our best to provide you with as much assistance as we can. We can also sell you a few more anti-missile and anti-aircraft guns.
Is everything alright, Peng?

The color red represents power, the color yellow represents hope. The Soviet Union flag is red and yellow. The color blue represents stability, the color white represents purity.
The US flag is red white and blue, representing a small position in power, a small position in stability, but a bigger position in purity. All communists flags have a lot of red in their flag, because all communist and socialist nations only want power of the people.

Hello all!
I just thought I'd pop by and deliver a quick message to the former ESU members that reside here. I do hope this isn't intrusive, but it would be most troublesome to try and locate everybody individually by telegram. I've been keeping my eye on you all for the past while, and I have recently come into contact with Kedalistan again. He is eager to communicate with you again, and I would be happy to pass on his contact details should you wish to get in touch with him again. Telegram me if you so feel the urge.
To the remaining residents of The Confederacy of Free Nations, I wish you prosperity. I am aware of the regional instability that has plagued you in the past, and I do hope that will not recur for this region. You seem like a nice group of people.

Lol.
Something tells me that Valyria doesn't have a knowledge on COIN
Penguania And Antarctica
Considering I don't know what COIN is, I'm sure Valyria doesn't either.

While we appreciate your wishes, we have been growing in region size for a good while, and are taking precautions to not let the same things that led to our previous downfalls happen again.

Lemme get this straight, first you all abandon us, than, once we find new, kind, and active communities, you try and drag us into your idiotic sespool again! You, and your group went inactive and straight dropped the entire region for a new and "better" one (which fell by the way, nice job dingus's), and only then, THEN, do you come scurrying back to try and rebuild the cr@ppy, early bird, beginner region all over again! Are you actually Fµcking Kidding me?
The freakin' ESU's been dead for like, a year, and you wan't us to go back? If it hadn't been for Latrovia, I'd still be stuck in that idiotic "Alliance". An "Alliance" mind you, of the same, inactive and relatively spiteful characters that killed not one, but two regions! Lat tried to warn all of you and you straight attacked him!
Yea, no, and in your stapled fashion, Really Anti? Really? Way to F**cking rub it in. But seriously, what'd I expect. -_-

hi guys im 11 and i was wondering is socialism a good thing
Penguania And Antarctica
Thanks for your concern, but I'm sure we're fine.
I ain't gonna blow myself on the RMB, but neither Tse, nor Tim or I would ever do something against the laws, or confuse the role of the founder with that of a dictator.

Lmao this game is ridiculous. Because im a capatlist, any time I do something capatalist-like it brings down my economy. The biasness of this game is strong.
Penguania And Antarctica
It's complicated. he idea of Socialism isn't any more good or evil than Capitalism. Plus, there isn't one "Socialism", its more of a catchall term for a variety of "Socialists style" View Points.
Its neither good nor bad, it has positive aspects and negative aspects, but so does every governing system.
For example, in the United States, Capitalism lead to a rise of Corporatism and the slow degradation of citizens rights.
But in say, Venezuela, Socialism lead to a rise of populism and corruption within the government, with similar effect on its citizens.
The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Penguania And Antarctica
It's not bias, but it doesn't always make sense. I started pumping federal funds into scientific studies and my Scientific Advancement went down by a small margin -_-
Capitalism has been known to crush economies before, just because its capitalist doesn't mean it'll always work :P
The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Penguania And Antarctica
Capitalism takes a while before the benefits are received, like growing crops. Socialism gives short term benefits, but doing it for too long will make your economy fall.
You do know that this game is so far from realistic that actually just righting down what's going on in your nation on a piece of paper is more rational -_-
Besides, what is it that you did that was capitalist?
How funny, I privatise everything and do fine

My industry is mostly either state-owned or comes from the black market, and I'm doing ok.
Alright, first, that one millimeter of graphene is useless.
If someone fires a missile at you, your troops are dead and same with a tank gun or even with regular gunfire since it's an open design.
The vehicle would be top-heavy with that missile pod that it isn't even funny, so taking it quickly -as it's meant to- would instead flip it. Furthermore, your buggy costs a third of a tank yet has less capability than even an IFV that could be more heavily armoured and armed.
Lastly, with that idea of the "wings"...no....just no.
You'll lose three troops everytime they try that, two from the crash and impact and a third when their NCO hears they decided to do it and has a stroke out of pure liquid rage.
However, good on you with beginning attempts to design.
Huh. How mysterious.

I just want to put it out there that that name, "Authoritaristan", is honestly amazing :P
Authoritaristan, Jaslandia, Yukona
For one, the picture is the civilian model, the military model has the seats enclosed, and as I said, there can only be two people per craft, but ill have to think about the rocket pods tho.
Well, the NCO bit was more of a joke about how soldiers are gonna trash that thing if they don't do the smarter idea of simply navigating terrain slowly...and are then going to be throttled by a screaming, swearing, ranting Sergeant.
Enclosing the seats presents it's own problems considering every inch of armor is going to weigh you down when most sports cars attempt to...you know...cut down on weight?
Furthermore, you know need a bios and screens on the inside that are wholly shock-proof for sight, and the gunner will need a RCWS since he's enclosed and they'll have to slow down massively to fire which opens them to counterfire from most things.
Again, it costs a third of a tank, but isn't a capable vehicle.
:) thanks
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Thats why it uses a flipping 810 horsepower tank engine.
Also ever heard of a remote controlled rocket or laser guided bullet?
I already mentioned the RCWS, so yeah, I've heard.
Speaking of hearing, that engine presents another problem. You now not only have a dune-buggy that costs a third of a tank, you have it using hundreds of times the fuel too.
This will rapidly either deplete the available fuel for both tanks and this vehicle, or will cause for tanks to actually be cheaper since they'll accrue cost much less quickly.
Of course, this is assuming that the vehicle will actually survive a very long while...which considering that it's generating an incredibly large amount of noise -enough to easily give it away- it's more likely that you'll lose that car.
Again, congrats for beginning the engineering process, but a vital part is finding out that your product isn't as ingenious as you thought it was, trust me, I went through it too.

Welp back the drawing board.
Perhaps you want to shift that idea towards something similar to the Ripsaw EV2. Granted, that vehicle isn't going to see combat in its current stage, ever, but with some military-grade modifications, its speed could be incredibly useful.
Perhaps focus on developing a larger, more heavily weaponized Ripsaw, perhaps with modified Graphene-plate armor for light yet effective defense.
Actually, that's a pretty good idea! I'll get working on it as soon as I can, Thanks Andy!
I recently heard that quote, forgot where though.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
I highly recommend not adding guns to it.
It seems like it would have a much easier time as an APC.
I don't think so, the thing could probably (unsafely, might i add) hold 6 (excluding the two riders in the cockpit) at best, most APC's can hold between 8 to 16 at a time.
It'd probably serve best as a scout or a fast moving attack vehicle.
Eh, that's a dimensional issue that could be fixed with some slight up-scaling, and my primary concern lies with adding a weapon to it and expecting it to come out of combat without a number of massive losses is a phenomenal leap in belief.
Perhaps a better term would have been a "troop carrier" if you will, such that they could move in a convoy and protect each other through IR-Smoke grenades, as this would allow for one to move large numbers of troops quickly, like Britain's fast reaction force.
The problem with making it a scout is that, as an inherently more expensive machine, there are simpler and cheaper wheeled vehicles that could be used such as the Humvee that are far less of a loss to face should they be destroyed.
