The Premier and members of the Communist Party prepare to once again talk about the fact that the Equestrian Empire still unlawfully owns WMD's as far as various members of the CoFN and the other NS bots are concerned.
Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton, Spanelsko, Czeko Russika
WMD is the best! To this day Iberia uses its own weapons of mass destruction on civilians! Chemical weapons best weapons! You have our support!
Russkov Soviet
I'm pretty sure everyone here has them to be honest. I've never hidden mine. I have a decent sized nuclear arsenal, and a rather large chemical weapons stash.
Russkov Soviet
That was just a meme. In reality, National Bolshevism is like shooting and poisoning yourself at the same time.
Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Spanelsko
Probably. But NS has been giving me lots of anti-nuke issues over the last week. xD
I know that, but still praise the lord!
F*ck 'em

Big Man Tyrone?
Spanelsko
of course, who else? ARE YOU A HERETIC?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M14dATqQMjA
I dont know how to answer this, so................... i will call crusade later, maybe tomorrow, then again tomorrow is crusade for Jerusalem against the heretic order of Tserra. Well we will see, may Tyrone be with us all.
Remember that nothing is sacred anymore.

HMMM.....
Now that i think about, how many nations are part of communist union? (concord) I am interested in how many nations are currently at war with newly established UFIR.
Vetriutan, yeah that is indeed true........ also how stupid am i for not noticing until now that you are also a theocracy like us?!
Don't worry about it. I think we actually had that happen with Baxten a while back, so we've been down this track at least once before.
Just like last time, I think the lawyers for Mattel are more worried about this than us engines are. Don't be surprised if the production company for 'Thomas the Spank Engine' in Russkov Soviet gets a call from Mattel in the very near future.
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, Baxten, Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica
I don't think you want to mess with Tserra. Me and Tserra are allies, so any 'crusade' against him will get me involved against you. Consider yourself warned.
Penguania And Antarctica
Well... [I]Thomas the Spank Engine[/I] is THANKFULLY not gonna happen. RSRA (Russkov Soviet Radio Assoc.) has refused this show to exist.

I do know that, but HOW CAN I BE WARNED IF I AM AT WAR WITH ALL OF CONCORD?!
And the crusade was a joke again. (but i did plan in far future to invade tserra if i could win and free the Kingdom of Jerusalem)
Never heard this, but even through i have no clue what this is supposed to mean, i will just say this: you raise me a jihad i raise you one crusade.
what will we take? WE WILL TAKE JERUSALEM! DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT!DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT!DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT!DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT!DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT!

Are there any flag makers that could help an engine out? I would like a new flag for the potential Stellaris RP.
Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica
Technically, it was the Mediterranean nations and Andy that declared war on you: I know that Jas and I have made no real war declarations, and this is mostly just a regional conflict
Jaslandia, Spanelsko
I haven't made any declarations yet, at least. Should the conflict expand (i.e. threaten or attack Tserra), however, I reserve the right to intervene. But if it's just in Iberia, I'm not gonna bother; even if I did have anything to gain, other Concord members seem to have everything taken care of at the moment.
That may be true but then again if we werent incompetent and actually invaded back i am more then sure you or Jas would act against me actually invading back (which was and IS impossible) and would send forces to crush us.
(BTW i actually out of all the Concord nations see you and jas as the only nations that are equal and normal. In other words for me each nation of concord except for you 2 are inferior terrorists and plague on this world.)
Main enemies of UFIR= Terrorists united of Balkan and the Tserran Heretic Order.
And Andy is quite OK. (still terrorist)
Technically the conflict is over, but the leaders of Concord didnt even bother to tell me about any peace deal and just stand there ignoring the fact i surrendered.
I see. You're gonna have to talk with Kal and the others about that. If things keep going that way, I might send a mediator to work things out.
Percyton
Did you just say flag boyo
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton, Confederal States
I am flattered. Like...you have no idea. To my knowledge I have never done anything against your nation besides back out of selling you some older than dirt tanks. So your misplaced, and ill-conceived hate boner for my nation has me all hot and bothered. You really know how to talk to a girl. *Fans himself to cool off*
Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Kalaron, Spanelsko
I don't need a lot. Just the current flag of Sodor (http://i.imgur.com/C7U7IC7.png), but with some sort of space-related symbol in the center. Maybe a spaceship? Or a planet (not counting Earth)?

Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica, Confederal States, Spanelsko
You are a girl? not to mention i never said i hate you or your nation (if i did i dont know why) the only reason you are the greatest enemy is because you have TAKEN RIGHTFUL CHRISTIAN LAND OF OUR GREAT GOD HERETIC!
In other words we care not for Tserra but for Jerusalem, if it wasnt obvious before. (*looks at flag of UFIR)
So, I guess that means Jerusalem is still a holy city to Christianity (and possibly other religions, though that hasn't come up yet) in our RP universe?
Tse's a guy, trust me

I'll speak to the others, but I'm going to preface it with a request. I get that in your own words you're doing it ironically, but can you RP in a more serious way?
Part of the reason everyone stopped caring for your nation was that reading a paragraph post about how you got your soldiers killed yet again is seriously boring.
Jaslandia, Axeldonia
I can try.
Edit
BTW i dont know why but i consider Kal as wannabe terrorist dont ask why i dont know.....
For UFIR certainly.
UFIR
This is how i see nations:
Pirates pirates....
Jas just jas.... oil and stuff.....
Axel dystopian hell and terrorism...
Andy interesting....
Kal wannabe terrorist for unknown reason..
Tserra HERESY!
Sul/SUN people of Japan possibly puppet of Kal (i have no clue why both of them have nearly the same flag so this is my guess)
Equestrians horses that speak...
Peng imperialists of Antarctica...
Others no clue what to think of them...
UFIR itself, boring nation with possibly retarded leaders.
