No, I live in Kansas.

I am a 34 year old former research librarian turned classical chef who lost his Kansas City restaurant a year ago and now works at a small town flower mill/gluten processing plant as a maintenance coordinator. Also I have two young daughters and a crippling gym addiction, lol.

My personal IC opinion; The A.U. has learned time and again to be wary of the ideology and rhetoric of a nation. The PLR has posed a threat to the Union a total of 3 times and has postured an Autocratic Federal system, one our ideology actively opposes.

And while Kongo is rich in resources, its kinda hard to start an economy when you're neither exporting nor importing...

They're capital is already bombed, the blockade is to keep other nations from interfering, they're currently purging countless innocent civilians, they literally do not have an economy that can be further broken, and the only reason they exist is because soldiers don't have to live in the hovel of everyone else.

First of all, we are bombing the former capital not the one we have now, we dont have any money at this point and buy/sell things with slaves as currency, yep we exist just because we give soldiers personal slaves, alcohol, the right to shoot people for fun etc. to keep our selfs in control. Also the blockade for us does nothing, since the only harbour is in Barcelona and we just sit there with our ships.....

Not to mention that its the only city that has an air base if i dont count the one in our capital.

As for the whole rebuilding stuff, we dont even have roads at this point with how destroyed they are, which also does not really help with resource distribution.

We arent killing all the children that are born only 50/60% of them.

With all the starvation and genocide we have here probably around 10-20% of the population has died already.

“How about a method that’s fun for viewers, and gives criminals a chance to earn a pardon?” asks sleazy reality show producer Ian Killdamon. “We could place the criminals on an island, each with a weapon, and tell them they have 24 hours to kill each other. The sole survivor would then win his or her freedom. We could broadcast this battle royale live, and the ratings would be through the roof!”

This was one of the possible things to do as the capital punishment, thank you NS.

The Talking Point

Death row is annually emptied to feed the nation's hunger for televised murder-games.

Not to mention one thing i forgot, if i remember correctly, the ´´great´´ concord leader Andy said that you will establish here a new stable government, can i ask how? at this point if we collapse the first thing i see happening is that the new government gets executed as quickly as it gets to power and new Anarchistic state is formed.

Thank you for caring for our nation, but i expected CONCORD to come and kill us when we started our insanity :)
