Also what are the sides in the somalian conflict? For now i only know of the islamists (good guys) the state (bad guys) and the weird people supported by someone that executed the lady (good guys)

NB logic= the more extreme the better.

Sh*t I forgot about this: the whole thing is part of the most recent stage in the al-Qarnan Civil War, the Free State Emergency - the NST was the original rebel group in this conflict, the National Salvation Tribunal, a collection of Armed Forces officers who felt the Federal Government had grown too weak in combatting the Ardayga Islaamka Maleeshiyaadka (Islamic Student Militias, a group that follows al-Qarn's take on Islam called Zensunni, so in the shortest of terms, Buddhist ISIS: AIM had been around since the late 1990s and early 2000s, overpowering the rebel groups and creating a kritarchy, or rule by judges, called the United Islamic Courts, a reference to Somalia's Islamic Courts Union). The Emergency started when the NST conducted the Battle of Nassau, successfully forcing the Federal Government from control of the city, but failed to arrest/kill them, which led to the Federal Government moving to Eritrea and Djibouti and declaring the Free State.

As the war went on, I opened the conflict up to outside actors, the PLR under Theodore Samson and Aleksandr Bogdan being the most predominant. The PLR and NST agreed to a political union (al-Qarn would eventually become a state under the PLR), but opposition against the NST's main leader, General Isabelle Askar, among the ranks of the Tribunal began to grow. This was exacerbated when the PLR bombed NST-aligned coastal villages filled with civilians for unknown reasons, then escalated after Tserra entered the conflict and took down the PLR fleet that was moving up to Puntland.

After this, the NST was divided as Brig. Gen. Hassan Aidid, one of Askar's Vice-Chairmen, declared the formation of the NST-S (Separatists, basically the original NST in which it followed an isolationist doctrine while also opposed to the Free State). The NST under Askar became the NST-U (Unionists), while two more formed, the NST-I (Islamists) and NST-T (Transition, the moderates in the original tribunal, willing to negotiate with the Free State). Eventually, due to PLR bouncing for the USSP, the RP considered the regime as having collapsed, so Askar and the NST-U surrendered to the Free State, all this after the NST-T assisted in the Concord investigation on the PLR during the intervention, afterwards the NST-T joined the Free State and formed the Southern Army, mainly to assist with Puntland (which suffered casualties in the invasion due to an error in which Handland, who was an ally to PLR during the war, was perceived as having conquered the village of Hordio in Puntland: the Battle of Hordio was a pyrrhic victory for Handland, as the Puntland Dervish Force and Tserran forces dispatched to Hordio dealt mass casualties as well as Handland pulling out of the conflict with respect to a peace agreement between Concord and the PLR).

As of now, the Free State has grown stronger due to its membership with Concord and forming the African Ædenist Branch with Tserra, as well as finally centralizing power, but the NST-S is still around, fighting both the Ardayga and NST-I (both organizations are, however, ideologically separate and may come to blows if the NST-S is taken out, mainly due to the NST-I desiring a moderate Islamic republic rather than the UIC), and there still exist the pirates, raiders, hostile states such as Somaliland, Awdalland, Zeila & Lughaya, and Khatumo, and the Cleaners (a group of ex-CDB/USF Special Forces personnel, they're insane pyromaniacs possessing a crap-ton of napalm, flamethrowers, white phosphorous ordnance, and modified firetrucks that shoot mortars and are installed with flamethrowers, and their training allows for them to easily best both the CDB and Ardayga)

There's not much to tell. I've been busy meeting delegates here and there, been fighting off some persistently annoying Scandanavian privateers, all while trying to find time to head over to Sodor. Our biggest problem at the moment is the accusations that our government is "numerically preparing its Armed Forces to initiate an invasion of Europe"... absolutely preposterous I say.

Lol no European government is going to recognise them due to the context, it’s not the UK government being arseholes for the sake of it.

Your next regime sounds slightly more sane, and we're not completely opposed to getting friendly with authoritarian regime. However, we usually only do so if it would give us some sort of strategic advantage. I suppose allying with you could give us an advantage in regards to the Straits of Gibraltar, but I haven't decided yet if it's worth it.

Ruling Europe has always been a goal in the eyes of many over the years. During the Cold War in the 1960's, the Soviet Union (real life and in-game) had plans simulating a potential European conquest. NATO and the United States also had plans to counter said "Red Menace". My army may be full of national pride, but I assure you... we are fully aware of the strength of our neighbors. As long as North Korea is controlled by someone else besides Kim Jong-Un, and the combined capitalist West doesn't constantly try to piss us off... I do think we will be pretty peaceful.

Father Stalin would be proud.

In recent weeks, a neighbouring nation in The Confederacy of Free Nations released a controversial and gory movie about Spanelsko, entitled The Baker Of Spanelsko. The movie, which follows the horrifying journey of a hapless ex-baker into the criminal underworld of Fortress Iberia, seems to imply that Spanelsko is a dystopian hellhole filled with violent crime. Unsurprisingly your citizenry is offended.

What are we if not a dystopia? Even the NS says so.

While I appreciate the offer, I will have to decline given that would violate the principles of Ædenism and the Concord to which we subscribe to, plus we noted what happened when TCaDS insisted on keeping chemical weapons, so I really don't want to deal with that.

As far as those plans to conquer and rule Europe go, they weren't really that serious past Stalin, and even Stalin -from what I can find- was more concerned with defending the Soviet Union in the event of an attack rather than committing to an outright attack. It's interesting to note, for instance, that neither side held First Strike plans for nuclear war past Operation Unthinkable from the fifties.

The US in the 1970s would have been on the defensive, honestly, as the stockpiling of Soviet technology was meant to be resorted to in the event of a Broken-Back-War between the West and the East. That is to say, the Soviet Union wished to climb through a war on Inertia alone. This was a consideration for war, honestly, as it meant that prior to PGMs the US would have to rely on a nuclear weapon to economically destroy the stockpiles.

The US meanwhile would have been impossible to dislodge from Europe past a sacrificial Germany. Fulda Gap and the Davy Crockett as well as nuclear shells for Howitzers would have devastated Soviet armour columns.

This, combined with Germany's own military, would have caused destruction for the Soviets.

So basically people wanted to do it but military matters would have immediately escalated into nuclear war.

Well recently there was a debate on how to deal with political dissidents. The government didn't want to send them abroad as they didn't want people criticising the regime from the safety of a foreign country. We didn't sentence them to hard labour as that would only make them resentful and more rebellious. It was decided the firing squad was the most effective method.

So they should just stick with a government who sends in the police to beat them? You'd be a great adviser to a woman in an abusive relationship. "You cant survive on your own you stupid bitch. Stay with your husband."

How do i get myself on the map

Isnt Catalonia the main base of Spanish economy? from what i remember it would be stupid to let catalonia go for spain since it would be a great hit for their economy.

As for the argument what resources they have, i will use this= Luxembourg, Switzerland, Monaco, Lichtenstein etc. are doing fine.

From what I have heard, Catalonia is a very rich region and the Spanish government are worried about losing that income source. Furthermore, there is a perception from some that Catalan nationalists are selfish because they do not want their tax money funding Spain's poorer regions.

Considering the way their fellow Spaniards have been treating them, and the way in which they regard them, I don't blame the Catalans for being selfish.

Some engines have hobbies. For example, me and Edward collect stamps, Henry collects vinyl records, and Norman collects Thomas and Friends merchandise. In terms of non-collecting hobbies, James fancies himself a bit of an actor, Whiff loves researching the history of Sodor, Salty and his crew build model boats, and Neville and his crew are big into model railroading.

Also, the University of Tidmouth is still working on those robotic arms I mentioned a while back, so some engines like Toby, Luke, and Sir Handel have taken up video games.

Percyton wrote:You would think so, but my Science and Technology Ministry has been working with the University of Tidmouth to test out robotic arms for the engines; you attach them to their buffers, and they can operate it with their mind, just like a human would use a prosthetic limb. So far only Toby, Luke, and Mavis are allowed to use them, but they're enjoying it so far; when they're about to go to sleep or have the day off, they'll put on their robot arms and play video games.

Of course, but it is sad to know that our dear Catalonia will get dissolved (probably) because the ´´majority´´ of the nation wants Catalonia to be part of Spain. (the majority that isnt from catalonia)
