I feel like you'd bring it to life and that's horrifying to consider.

Trying to bring a tank to life would be difficult, but we might be able to figure out a way. I understand why you're concerned, but if that does happen, hopefully it'll be a friendly tank. If you're still interested in selling us tanks, feel free to bring it up to Neville, my new Defense Minister. We've been thinking about strengthening our military, just in case the next coup doesn't end so peacefully.

And I need you now tonight

And I need you more than ever

And if you only hold me tight

We'll be holding on forever

And we'll only be making it right

Cause we'll never be wrong

Together we can take it to the end of the line

Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time

I don't know what to do

And I'm always in the dark

We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks

I really need you tonight

Forever's gonna start tonight

I mean, I didn't exactly say Kumania had starships though. I just said the ability to have starships no longer exists because of international treaty banning them. Like Kumania could've been trying to develop them thus creating a separate branch of its military and channeling most defense spending funds to the development of starships instead of bettering the other branches of the Kumanian military thus leaving those other branches weaker, and then all of it being a waste of money when the ban went into effect. My post said absolutely nothing that Kumanian starships were ever created; just that there was a time a few years prior to the present day in rp where the Kumanian military invested most of its funds in developing starships thus wasting those funds when the starships were not developed because of the international treaty banning starships.

Oh, misunderstood. I thought you were saying they had starships, but couldn't use them because of treaty. That line "No longer having the legal ability to use starships meant that the Kumanian government needed to focus once again on the conventional branches of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. All of those branches had suffered financially and technologically when the government prioritized the now defunct Space Force" threw me off

It's all good. In the ESU, I actually did have starships. But for the Confederacy I've edited my nation's lore to only have it be that there was a phase when the Kumanian government invested in the development but didn't actually achieve their goal. I mean sure I could've written out starships all together but I liked it when I had them so Ima at least keep it in where my nation at least tried to get them lol.

Hmm...

Well, no official bid has been placed...but this isn't just buying the rights to the tank, either.

This is the cost of buying

1) Prefered Customer status -important for future projects where I might just pick you because it's you-

2) The whole family of vehicles -IFV, Infantry carrying vehicles, Emergency Medical Vehicles, Armoured Recovery vehicles...the whole shebang from that family-

3) Let's say....twenty Boron Nitride plate sets? ;)

4) 1,000 KPS

5) Future innovations, maintenance and upgrades to those vehicles.

And lastly, a ten percent discount on your next purchase.

Naturally, this whole deal just doesn't come cheap, so lets set the price tag for those pretty things at about twenty billion, and let's see some bidding, boys ;;;)))

For the love of all that is holy, please sell it to the Free State Forces: last thing we need is one of the Somali states or God forbid the Ardayga rolling around the Somali territories in tanks. Also, most of the equipment sans weapons and armor are from the Soviet era (or the equivalent of one), so newer Western hardware is heavily sought after by all state factors :p

That has nothing to do with what I am talking about. And I never said that I want the map to be under the governments control. But every now and then, I see a country getting smaller, other countries getting bigger and whoever is gonna claim France, they will have claimed half of it because the Reich occupied the rest of the territory.

For instance, since the previous owner of France left the area, I don't remember seeing a notification that France is free for someone else to occupy.

Frankly, my priorities have changed.

I'm going to leverage it for some things...

As an example, I plan to cut the price by five billion -asking price is still 20bil- and attempt to get a unique "friendly" status among the USCS.

This would allow for Kalaron to establish up to three mines inside of the USCS per year -Kalaron would, however denote one fourth of the materiel extracted, with certain exceptions-, as well as Deep Isolation Scientific Research Posts inside the nation.

Kalaron could also be given protection by the USCS in the event of an invasion by a third party.

So...got anything special to offer? ;)

Plot 91, the plot between you and Minnesota Dakota containing New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Ohio, is currently available, and annexing it would nearly double your nation's population. So you can try to take that territory if you want to. I already lowkey think of it as your territory somewhat.

I love you all :D

Oh, and [nation=short]baxten[/nation] and [nation=short]magnatronia[/nation], the only way to conquer the panama canal would be through a naval invasion due to the impossibility of traversing the Darien Gap, it took a jeep 2 years to cross it, imagine mobilizing an army.

Alongside fortifications; remember, the Viper threat is slowly giving Sentinel Vahara more and more power; imagine the Andreallic terror of a united, pro-magnatronia North America.
