I'm certainly not mean (or, at least I try not to be), and I've never sold anything called 'crack'. I didn't even know you could sell cracks, actually; I thought they just suddenly appeared on sidewalks and roads.

that's a common misconception. fireflakes actually fall from the sky during vishtash, the season between summer and fall.

during vishtash, the sun goes away for 6 weeks and the only light comes from the firestorms. its very beautiful but very dangerous. children catch fireflakes on their tongues and build ashmen.

theres a legend of an ashman who came to life after some kids put a magic bonnet on him. he killed the kids and disappeared. he's called ashy the killman. Some say he is still out there killing kids today.

The problems are moreover with exactly what he has, though the amounts are still massively overblown.

If he had 5K biplanes I'd be impressed, but ~10K F-22 Raptors is less impressive and more impossible to maintain, same with the 20K MBTs.

Don't even get me started on the BBs and BCs.

didnt your robonanny teach you the seasons when you were a hatchling? what are they even teaching in the bunkers these days?

There are seven seasons, obv. Summer, Fall, Vishstash, Plander, Spring, and Autumm.

Winter comes when all the plants shrivel and die because they are sad breaking bad ended. Then, spring comes and the plants come back to life when a new season of stranger things is posted. Then summer comes when we finish the new season and everyone goes outside for the first time and is surprised by how bright the sun is.

On Midsummer's eve, the Gnome King puts a top hat on his favorite burro and shows the burro his reflection in the mirror. If the burro likes his reflection, the next season is Vishtash. If the burro thinks the hat makes him look fat fat, the next season is Plander. Plander is like winter except the sun never sets, and instead of snow its just cocaine and little bits of broken glass. No one is really sure how long Plander lasts. We usually pass out after a few hours.

I've already described Vistash.

Autumm is the same as Fall except no one is allowed to drink pumpkin spice. if you do your mustache falls off and your plaid shirt bursts into flames. we're not sure why.

No one knows what the seventh season is. Seasons have been around for decades but we still dont know that much about them. some scientists say the seventh season may only come at the end of the world, when the time dragon wakes up to blow the doom horn.

Just do what I did: create a branch of Islam that advocates equality, like Zensunni, or hold a different interpretation on the Qu'ran. Then again, centuries of aged doctrine can be either interpreted differently. Also, you might want to consider Farahan's surrounding neighbors: CaDS, Jaslandia, and Tserra all are close by and more than likely have different interpretations on Islam and religion in general.

I try to adapt them to whatever situation when possible, but rewriting national history, government, and leaders are pretty hard, especially with a concept like PK or Chernarus: the latter I had written up to 14 pages on history alone before I accidentally destroyed my laptop, and modifying it to a modern corporate state based on the East India Company is brutal. At least with UCT and San Fernando Valley, they're easy to write given both are democratic regimes (SFV's even easier given it's a vassal state of sorts to the UCT and relies on military and economic aid from the latter). Also, SFV is literally the Wars of the Roses in Californian city-states before becoming an imperial crowned republic :p

Just gonna make my Telegrams public on the matter and make my thoughts known here for the people who didn't get one:

"Truth be told, it's way, way off. 15 Carriers is beyond insane for one nation, you have no need for battleships (They literally are useless in the modern day), you have two different air-superiority fighters that do the same job, and the same issue with the Battleships is present on the Battlecruiser.

Furthermore, three hundred subs are beyond anything close to what would be needed.

I recommend going with five Aircraft Carriers, forty cruisers, sixty destroyers and twenty submarines.

Your tanks should be at around 4K if you're a big nation, and your aircraft could stand to fall by a significant amount on every branch."

As it stands, the numbers need to be dropped further, especially with regard to the Submarines and F-22s.

Solla Ultima wrote:I would like to say that any claims The Cross And Davids Star made in his most recent factbook are completely false and have no basis.

To be fair, some of your numbers are off too.

You have 2,500 F-35Bs, but the maximum that your ships can -going with a high number for the Gerald Ford- is closer to 560. The total number of planes (including replacements) should be at around 1.2K.

Your Airforce is massively overblown, such that I can't imagine any money can go to any other branch. The US airforce has around 957 of the F-16 -which, mind you, if not as expensive as a F-35 of any kind and is far more plentiful- while you have over 7.5K of the F-35 which doesn't even fulfill the role you might be thinking it does.

The F-35 is first and foremost a CAS plane, it zips in and drops a bomb or two and then runs away, but your numbers make it seem like a stealth fighter...which I pray it's never used as.

The F-22 meanwhile is nightmarishly expensive and the cost of having some 2K is making economists cry.

Also, what's a L.A.W.? The closest thing I could find was a Laser, and I can't imagine you've tried to integrate those.
