I know it's not quite the same, but I've personally always been happy about being a smaller engine. I don't need to use a turntable to turn around for a train, I don't have a big bulky tender slowing me down, and bigger engines are sometimes arrogant and full of themselves. Plus, I can work just about anywhere, while bigger engines can't work on certain lines (such as Thomas' Branch Line and the Little Western Branch) because the tracks can't support their weight.

hmmm..... well since we see you as a democratic constitutional monarchy with a lot of liberty we dont really know, since we cant really say that you are a bourgeoisie dictatorship that oppresses the proletariat, but then again your nation isnt communist, so probably i would say that we see you as a special case and put you as a bit lower then socialist state. (neutral good)

Oh um for the record, I am still working on the map. As I have said I have not felt great lately, so I have been working on it slowly. Those of you who have asked me for stuff, I am not ignoring you, and I did not forget you. Its gonna happen. Whenever it is I finally get over this whatever it is.

We are proud of our socialist economy, liberal culture and traditional monarchy.

Cheers, Kal. I always worry my history doesn't make sense or doesn't seem realistic.

It honestly isn't bad, only complaint is that it seems too directed almost. Maybe explore the context of the kingdom prior to the revolution just a touch more? It could use a more human touch (Like what a real history book has) but its honestly very good.

Also, have you given any thought towards any of my wares, other then the requested warships?

Well we wouldn't mind some planes. Much as we are pacifist, I think our defence spending is a bit too small.

How many would you like?

I have the Lynx, the FSB and the KAH-223.

The Lynx is our mainline stealth fighter, the FSB is a stealth bomber than can excel at national defense as well as it's native offensive nature and the KAH-223 is a stealth helicopter that functions very well in the reconnaissance and attack roles, respectively.

How about 20 FSBs?

We're going to be getting into that later this trimester, we're starting in the US then shifting over to South Africa and Apartheid and that whole shebang :D

After abolishing the upper house of the Forum in Valyria, the Empress now has no checks and balances on her power. This decreased political apathy by 22%.

Well that's one way of making people care about politics!

Nuremgard wrote:How about 20 FSBs?

Excellent, http://iiwiki.com/wiki/FSB-107

I must note, however, that the cost of each is somewhere in the range of 800M per aircraft due to the sophistication of the system.

Kalaron is willing, however, to give you a ten percent "Friend" discount flat out, or you can get a larger twenty percent discount if you purchase a suitable number of an additional ware.

I personally recommend, for your defensive situation, the purchase of a land vehicle like the MBT-90. A sensible amount is somewhere in the zone of ~450-~750.

This twenty percent, by the way, would cover both purchases :)

The only other nations that have ever recieved twenty percent off, might I add, are all in Concord, so you'd be in a pretty exclusive club.

Hmm. Alright then. Let's go for the 20% on both orders.

Why are you giving me shock therapy? :P

The Issue[/B]

It’s the centenary of the Great The Confederacy of Free Nations War, and competing plans to commemorate the historic moment are being considered for approval.

The Debate

“Of course we should remember the War - but there was nothing ‘Great’ about it!” pontificates student protester Renee Räikkönen, who has read two and a half books about the War and now knows everything about it. “It was a shameful bloodbath caused by greedy capitalist arms manufacturers, and it could have been avoided. We should be remembering the incalculable tragedy of it all and making sure it never happens again!”

Hmm... Could you send me 2-3 of each? I've been needing to correct some of my military. I'm starting to wonder how I stack up at this point. Prices are no problem.
