I don't know who Joe McCarthy is, but I'm sure he would warm up to James eventually. Once you get to know him, James is a very kind and useful engine.

HE would not warm up to James
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton, James The Red Engine
Yeah, I think I'm with Bax on this. Accepting the idea of a talking train would be hard enough for Joe to accept, but then learning that one of the engine is completely enamored with the color red would give McCarthy enough material to last a lifetime.
"The Commies have infiltrated our railroads! I have a document showing how Chinese sleeper engines have infiltrated the Island of Sodor! Sir Topham Hatt is complicit in this, as he's a Russian agent. And everyone knows Thomas is a tankie (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Party_of_Great_Britain#Tankie) (no pun intended). The Commies are after our trains, I tell ya!"

245 years ago, a great war of independence was fought against an Imperial power, Baxten. 10 years ago, a second war was fought as the nation divided, a revolution between communists and capitalists. Finally, 4 years ago today, on January 6th, 12,013 H.E, a third war ended, as the people overthrew a corrupt monarch known as an Imperator. That day, the Second Great Andreallic Empire fell, and in its place, a modern nation was born.
After the ensuing conflict, a peace treaty between the Institute, and the Andreallic Liberation Front [ALF], now the Andreallic Liberated Union, struck a deal, that after peace and stability returned to the nation, the Institute's Interim government would part way to a new central authority, the Collective, also known as the Cluster Complex.
Simply put, The Collective operates by use of Diligent's, members of the populace who bring to order decisions to national and local Complex's. All citizens equally vote and discuss through the Collective, ensuring that total and equal democracy can be achieved.
Today marks the beginning of the talks between the ALU and the Institute in order to develop the Collective in a way that would make it possible.
Please welcome, the Collective Technocracy of Andromitus

Well, realistically, if these are MIRVs, you aren't recovering anything really, and a full rocket will only be a few shattered pieces of metal with an incredibly radioactive spread from the water.
Like, those warheads are getting crumpled by the water due to a low time of impulse due to their speed, and that's if they are deactivated three minutes after launch (This is admittedly using the Minuteman as the system of reference) rather than...say...Ten?
I mean, he was hit with what amounts to a nuclear arsenal near the size of Russia's during 2010, so his nation should be less than rubble right now :P

Sorry that I'm commenting twice, but I've been trying to figure out the actual speed of the missiles when they touch down.
Now, I know the Acceleration (10 m/s*2) but need the velocity.
Acceleration is equal to Velocity divided by Time, so, assuming these missiles are the same as a LGM-30 M3 and the peace talks are finished at exactly three minutes after launch, one can rewrite the equation to be V= A*T which comes out to 1800 m/s (If one is looking at Terminal velocity, this comes out to 1585.62 m/s -Note, the mass of this system is simplified to starting mass divided by three to take into account the pieces lost for rocket separation and the loss of the nose shroud-) which means that each rocket will be hitting the ground at a positively massive speed.
Unless each rocket is made with some diamond coating or shell made of a heated and pressurized coal from Sodor and encased in enough peanut butter to make principles and moms the world around go into conniptions over allergens, those rockets are broken with their nuclear fuel in the water.
Lavan Tiri
so what you're saying is that Perland may have damaged the environment
Lavan Tiri, Continental Commonwealths
Assuming most means 800 out of every thousand, approximately 3200 missiles containing nuclear fuel crashed into the ocean.
So...si.
Lavan Tiri
Post self-deleted by Kalaron.
The nuclear fuel contained inside of a Minuteman Three is not public knowledge, however, most people assume it to hold Lithium-6 (enriched to 95% purity) and expect it to be Deuterium and Tritium boosted alongside the Teller-Ulam design (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8c/Teller-Ulam_device.png -I know the picture doesn't show the right fuels-) which means that radioactive Tritium gas was released into the ocean and air, and the Lithium and Uranium would scatter into the ocean.
This assumes that the missiles high explosives are modified to be completely inert when struck with pressure, as the W78's current load of HE would actually leave very little of the bomb -or the environment- left at all (Crashing would cause the nuke to go off)
Assuming at least ten or so pounds from each Warhead is nuclear fuel, and that each missile contains three warheads, approx 96,000 pounds of radioactive fuel was dumped into the water connecting Perland and Solla.
Lavan Tiri, The United Providences Of Perland
So we're all dead?
Lavan Tiri, Kalaron
Any sea life -Solla is not on the map, but extrapolating from Perland's comment, there is a sea between him and Solla, so anywhere from Australia, NA/CA/SA- is extremely irradiated.
Should the water from those lands diffuse as it is want to do, this irradiated water would essentially become a trouble the world around and would even affect land locked Countries through rain.
So...si.
Baxten, Lavan Tiri
The utmost "expert" is speaking.
Lavan Tiri, Vista Major
Amen
Lavan Tiri
I ain't sure if that is a joke or not, but I will say that Perl is in Africa, water diffuses naturally, and water is well known as being rain.
So, 96,000 pounds of nuclear fuel is pretty deadly, yeah.
Lavan Tiri
It was sarcasm. I thought the quotation marks indicated that. I will use the /s then.
It did, which was why I pointed to everything I said in my earlier comment as being pretty common knowledge.
Thanks for telling me that I am dumb.
I didn't, but OK.
I clarified that I wasn't an expert for pointing out things that were common knowledge, and that despite me not being an expert these common knowledge things were still true.
Hence me saying "is a joke or not, but I will say that Perl is in Africa, water diffuses naturally, and water is well known as being rain.
So, 96,000 pounds of nuclear fuel is pretty deadly, yeah."
Hey whatever.
As long as I have my homeland (Prussia) I'm good.
Is the map up anywhere?
Gotta go to Baxtens dispatches I think.
Not yet. It's finished, and I'll let people claim land when I can get the page up tonight.
Oelesa
You'll be able to
Btw I signed up for the rp. If there's to many nations already then don't worry about adding me .
There's never too many nations, Oel
Well it might please you that I want to help Baxten take back the colony
Oh, we aren't trying to get our colony back. Since Solla Ultima took the land, its non-canon anyways. Regardless, we don't take colonies anymore.
So what is your part?
Not much. Maybe some humanitarian aid.
It's more what, you want, do you want to help with Humanitarian aid? Baxten and Vista are both trying that, myself and Magna might have exterminated the NICA before you could join however, and at the moment, Magna is trying to permanently annex both the southern and northern sections of the Kongo, and I happen to be in control of the South, doing...well, that's classified :P
But either way you go, the more the merrier!
Well despite not wanting the new map, I am rather excited to see it. I would love to know who my new neighbors are. :D
