I want to run for multiple offices.

Possible?

Just noticed Oel has declared for Speaker.

I love the guy, big respect for him, but he hasn't used the forums in like 3 weeks and has left Parliament fairly stagnant. I want to prevent inactivity plaguing the next administration and I gotta say that I don't think Oel can best serve us unless he can give us a definitive pledge that he'll be active if re-elected.

It isn't expressly forbidden, but in your case it doesn't really make sense.

No one else is running for Minister of Internal Affairs, so are you implying that you would abandon this office and leave is vacant if you won a different office?

Glorious Leader: Great, now I'm the worst kind of dictatorship, Iron Fist consumer... how do I end up here? I need to resend the trail of my Nation...

I just wanted to again remind everyone that I am running for Vice Chancellor. I was able to rework our recruitment telegram and get our population to increase by fifty nations in a matter of days and I look forward to working with [nation=short]Unfallious[/nation] and [nation=short]cesorion[/nation] in order to move us towards new types of recruitment such as mergers, one of which I already helped Cesorion initiate. I officially endorse both of the aforementioned nations and can't wait to bring our population to new heights alongside them.

My nation is in a complete lockdown. All across the land, people pray and sit in silence for those who would be lost. For today, September 1st, in the Year of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ 1939, the Nazi Reich would start their march of death and destruction. I will not be fully available until the 2nd. I actually lost family. I was just told by my father. I had no idea.

The Iron Union agrees to the establishment of a non-aggression pact between the Iron Union and the Holy Empire along with the implementation of embassies within our perspective capitals.

Also, the second name of the Iron Union which is the Federal Union of Sovereign Socialist States is going to be changed to the United Socialist States of Africa, or the USSA.

Would you be willing to establish diplomatic and economic relations with the Iron Union along with a military defensive pact with the Union? Being as though we have been brothers in arms for all these years, I feel that it is absolutely vital that we enhance and re-institute this ironclad alliance between our People once again to fulfill the inevitable future of prosperity, productivity, achievement, and modernization.

Alright, few things about your military.

[Actual Mod talk] The number of soldiers has to be downgraded if your going to RP with us. The total max is at 1.5M as a result of some peoples building Lol-Armies in the past. Provided you don't use "Fanaticism" as an excuse for why your troops are....say....able to do things that routinely breaks troops you should be fine.

[Historical Talk] Alright, so, just gonna offer up some criticism of your military. The fifteen BBs are useless for anything you could conceivably want to do. As combatant ships they were phased out due to their lack of a long range system (Guns are actually pretty terrible on warships unless it's something like a Zumwalt) and even with VLS added they only add an extremely costly redundancy to the fleet where an additional Aircraft Carrier might help (This isn't saying get 15 Aircraft carriers, the max is eleven just like the US) or where even having two separate and still likely cheaper ships would help.

Furthermore, Railway Guns (This is typed as such to differentiate from the much worse Rail-Gun that some people try to use) have been out of use since arguably the Second Great War where bombers essentially were a thousand angry hornets spitting a thousand explosive globules of death. Past that time, Jets with JDAMs are a terrifying tool and would make anyone stationed on that Railway Gun cry.

Finally, if your military has industry, why would they continue using a gun and weapon that the Soviets eventually ditched?

To provide a sense of history, the AK-47 we're all familiar with was actually a line of prototypes. The real AK-47 (Accepted in the year 1948 and as such AK-48) was actually simply referred to as the AK in the Russian military. This non-numeral designation is due to AK standing for Automatic Kalashnikov or Kalashnikov's Automatic [Rifle].

The next year, though, the Russian military came out with much used AK [Type III] which was the third modification of the AK and the one that [B]actually[/B] put an assault rifle in every man's hands.

All of this said, however, the eponymous AK-47 is an incorrect label still because the most used AK was a redesigned gun named the AKM. This is the weapon that you see the Bad Guys use in almost every movie or book because this was the mass produced AK-47 that everyone knows and loves or knows and hates. The AKM is the slut of the firearms world, working for everyone from Somalia pirates to to mud-hut dwellers.

So, to summarize, you actually have a kinda rare gun as your main there :P

Lastly, Anti-Air guns are kinda...meh...unless they're C-RAM style and even then they also use missiles.

Now, I'll finish by saying that it doesn't read as being particularly over powered and for that I applaud you! You might want to note what I've said tho. :D
