Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations

History

Yeah, that's another part.

Really advanced programs like tanks are one a country for a reason. So it's really just wise to only have said one or at most two for your nation that you sell.

Beyond that and you're claiming above your belt.

Maybe you should price these in ISC, more countries would be able to purchase them...

Not a lot, they just used diplomacy and didn't invade someone. I did my EPQ on Finland during WWII so I'm pretty clued up.

Yeaaah not bad, just waiting for results day which could go either way to be honest. Working in the day, doing a bit of wood work and what not, and just hanging out with friends at night - mostly going to the pub.

Good luck with your results. Sorry to hear about the girl canceling on you, buddy. I'm okay. My flat is having a new ventilation system and shower installed so need to redecorate again after it's all done...yay. Starting uni in September so need to get my student card soon. Also need to apply for my council tax exemption.

By the way, sorry to be a bother, but I changed Tangshan back to a republic.

Ah I was going to do all the flags tomorrow as I'm off work, will you stay at home for Uni? Didn't you say it's nearby? Personally I'm quite happy I'm leaving in a roundabout way

I'm staying at home yeah. Student accommodation is extortionate. Besides, I don't want to share the space with noisy, messy students when I'm trying to study. I like my own space. Although with the constant renovations going on in my flats plus diabolically noisy neighbours, I doubt I'll be getting much quiet at home either.

Nuremgard, Jaslandia

I'm trying to turn Scotland into an absolute monarchy. Since I cannot ban elections right now, I got an issue which has allowed me to restrict voting to members of MENSA.

Restricting voting rights = one step close to stamping them out altogether!

I think your "logic" is hilariously flawed, and I think it's funny how you're so quick to try claiming I'm helping CROSS when I have explained at unnecessary lengths numerous times in the past why I don't like alliances.

That's fine, I feel the very same way about yours.

INB4 Lend-Lease wasn't indirectly supporting the Allies against the Axis. Also INB4 Alt-Hist Lend-Lease is somehow different because "we only supported Britain this time guys!"

Quite frankly, I direct you to my last point and will continue to direct you to it until properly refuted with more than tautology.

If I have fifty muffins and CROSS's goal is to take said muffins and you can normally carry six muffins but Fried hates your friends but gives you a wheel barrow so you can instead take forty while they try to take six, he has supported CROSS's goal.

And I'll refer you to the definition of "argument from ignorance", for you bring up little more than conspiracy theories that contradict basically everything about me, and whose premise is based entirely on little more than assumption.

Your muffin analogy is flawed at its core; you base the assumption that somehow CROSS' goals are 100% (see; exact same) as PLR's and vice versa, when there has been literally no indication that such is true.

Emphasis placed on the following two words: "no" and "proof". If you're going to make conspiracy theories, at least back them up with evidence, yeah?

I'm not going to escalate the insults, and instead just respond to your assertions.

To be quite frank, while I have been theorizing on what could possibly happen, I really do have to point you to your very post today where you literally just provided PLR's troops with weapons. I would also like to point to your continuing trend of attaining closer relations with his nation.

(While I acknowledge that these messages also contain your insistence on the "Capitalists" and that your nation might object to their use on potentially socialist nations, I also must acknowledge what you've very much stressed, that y'all are big fans of politicking)

While I freely admit that the events I'm talking about have yet to transpire in any way, shape or form and that I doubt they really will, it's not as large a leap of logic as you wish to state it is to think that you might continue to seek to support the relations you've built with PLR in the event, say, of a war that involves more than just Somalia. And with regard to what remains as an assumption...that is what most predictions are in part, especially on NS where nations are so very fickle. Were it that I could instead simply prove every prediction before it had a chance to happen than I would be a much richer man.

As for PLR's goals being exactly the same as CROSS's, simply put he doesn't actually need that. His nation does not need to have exactly the same goals but rather similar ones. If I must truly diversify my simplest analogies to include every possible consideration then clearly you can understand that it stops being a simple analogy.

Furthermore, you seem to selectively define which assumptions are rational and which are "conspiracy theories" based less on consistent thought and more on your agenda. That assuming you would continue to build up the support you already have in PLR is classified as a conspiracy theory while the thought that PLR would have goals so radically different from the rest of CROSS on such a frequency that it should only be logical to assume he would do nothing to support his close allies in war....well, it's frankly ridiculous.

All of this said, you were true in one regard at the very least. It is all an assumption of events yet to pass and I can no more prove it than you disprove it. As such, I really see no further reason to discuss this.

It's the fact that I spend a bit much on defense (around 25%), but I think that I can stop claiming stuff here. For now, at least.

Thank you. While I will awknowledge that generally higher defense spending is an important part of developing main battle tanks, I'm sure we can all agree that the implications in terms of industry alone are a sight more massive than anything else, and for both that reason and for fairness to others, I would request that you restrain yourself to one tank, or at most two.

Whatever, but she said that he was against Trump. Maybe she is right, maybe wrong, doesn't really matter. I saw the full video though and it appears like the protesters surrounding the car were holding some sort of bats, so maybe this guy just panicked. I know I would.

Well, based on the Dispatch linked in the Confederacy General, tha armed forces usually make around 1.2% of the population, right? So that would make my armed forces at around 10-15 million. I will try to have a limited army and instead of MBTs perhaps trade software. How does this sound?

If you saw the whole video you'd see him going past multiple turn offs and then the tyres screaching as he slams into the crowd from afar.

Trading software sounds fine so long as it's kept MT :D

I'll see about getting that a proper rules dispatch up as pretty soon me and the other mods will be codifying what we have. As for right now, we do have rules, they just aren't centrally written down.

The first flag. It has a CMYK block. Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. The K means black, but not always.

Oh! It's not that, it's actually a reference. I'll leave it up to you to figure it out, if you care.

May is indeed one of the worst PMs.

Although I do not exactly agree with your statements, Freedom of speech is held dear. And I don't think Satan treats the that way, if Satan treats them at all. I suppose your support SNP, right?

Aye, I'm an SNP man all the way. At least until/if we get independence.

Chimpanzees could be used to describe all politicians really.

Then again, that's insulting to chimps. They're intelligent.

A coup in a neighbouring nation gave Scotland's king the opportunity to declare himself supreme ruler. It is now an absolute monarchy.

What the Greeks need to do is kick the Turk out of Constantinople, take back the righteous lands and establish Byzantium and embrace the Megali Idea.

Make sure to still vote in Parliament.

Isn't Istanbul where Constantinople used to be? Might be a bit of trouble there lol. Although if anything gets rid of that Erdogan twat, I support it.

Constantinople is, sadly, Istanbul. When the Turkish invaded, raped and pillaged the place they made sure to erase every last bit of Greek culture - not to mention in other areas of the country.

Hmm. I still think the Middle East would have been better off if the Ottoman Empire endured.
