Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
go right ahead.
Andromitus
Alright, seeing as every potential RP that was posted on the forums has either been discontinued or abandoned, I'm planning to start an RP where you guys can visit your country and do business with Wily and the gang.* And I'll be sure to keep this RP alive. Pisses me off that we can't get a decent RP going for more than a few days. No offense to the people who started them.
*Let me know if you guys are actually interested in participating in it. If not, I won't waste my time. Anyone's allowed to join.
Merlinton
So basically a more Magnatronia-centric Confederacy General?
Yukona
Basically it's to cement my place as the economic powerhouse of the Americas. Kal can say how rich he is all he wants, but his portfolio's worthless as soon as people stop buying weapons. So I'll host a tour of Mega City One for anyone that wants to come. Think of it as a really, really dark version of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Except Willy is Wily, the oompa loompas are slaves, and my chocolate factory is my entire city.
Merlinton
Things are looking bad for Donny Boy 👍
Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
I mean tbh that will never happen because Kalaron provides dynamic advances, also, Kalaron happens to have a GPS service that we get a hefty sum from.
Tbh, I'll expand it even more later, but for now I'm focused on making more transport craft, something people objectively need :^>
Also, you're still a corporate slave state so Kalaron will be at least pretty rich in the future :D
Yeah, don't expect many nations to publicly deal with a corporatist slave pariah.....
Man your opinion doesn't matter
Nah man, anyone'll tell you that the key to a successful business is diversification. You gotta be invested in everything. Sure people'll need transportation and guns and GPS and stuff. But they'll also need other manufactured goods, subsidized labor, tax havens, affordable healthcare (for our customers, not employees), 401ks, and useless but adorable plastic knick knacks.
Merlinton
Too bad it's a fact and not an opinion. What leader in their right mind would endorse a slave state by giving it money for materials?
Merlinton
What he said^
You do you, man. I'm just calling it how I'm seeing it.
Man, I love this guy^
What a child
Don't put yourself down like that
Merlinton, Yukona
Says the Pariah^
Listen, I don't understand your technobabble
Duh, another equally evil slave state
Peoples Liberation Republic, Aghrabia, Yukona
What other slave states are there in the world?
Merlinton
My alt kinda once I start RPing in.... two days
What's the name of your alt?
I'm actually not being snarky, I have another nation that I'll be using for RP once school is over, and tomorrow is my last day. I was waiting until I'd have more time so in two days I'll be basically completely free to run a slave state.
Peoples Liberation Republic
Oh you
Andromitus, Yukona
This is my alt. I'll be creating factbooks and stuff on Friday, but [nation=short]The Empire of Handland[/nation] and [nation=short]Magnatronia[/nation] already know a little of the plan. Like I said, I haven't done anything with it yet because I'm trying to get through finals first.
Friedensreich, Yukona
Man you're socialist monarchy, everyone knows they're doomed to fail
Merlinton
Slave states have the worst grammar
The Royal Republic Of Kumania, United Continental States
Socialist republican monarchy get it right bitchboi <3
Friedensreich
Oh shart, now that changes everything! XD
The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Andromitus
Is... Is that any better?
I mean, I know I was a Communist Czardom for a while but... Damn. You got balls.
The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Penguania And Antarctica
And many nations are willing to trade with a socialist republican monarchy, so in all likelihood you'd be an economic powerhouse in the Americas.
The Royal Republic Of Kumania
"Socialist" and "Economic powerhouse" in the same sentence.
That's funny
Aghrabia, Vista Major
At least he ain't no federal constitutional parliamentary caliphate with a President, Premier, and pentacameral legislature :p
Nuremgard, Aghrabia, Aldwood
Kuma will always be more of a powerhouse than you, babe. Sorry.
Nobody wants to publicly deal with a state that condones slavery. That is a political sh!tstorm just waiting to happen in any remotely democratic nation.
Nuremgard, The Royal Republic Of Kumania
It's common round these parts
The Royal Republic Of Kumania
I mean, Kalaron also has plans to produce powerplants so we really have plenty of different jobs.
It honestly gives me a little too much to do, considering my backlog.
Nuremgard is a socialist powerhouse.
What would be the Caliphate's foreign policy towards my Shia empire?
I have a democratic nation that has slavery. Well it's a very limited democracy. Only landowners can vote.
El-Aaiun Al-Khalifa
HEY! This is a kid-friendly zone. No cursing allowed.
United Continental States
and tf are you saying babe for, I aint your babe. And that phrase is trademarked too. Pay up
Merlinton, Zedelia, United Continental States
As long as it doesn't try to disturb the Caliphate's policies and not piss off the government, Farahan would probably be regarded as a potential ally rather than a source of contention and conflict like the Saudis and Persians
Nuremgard
So it's not aggressively Sunni then? You wouldn't hate Farahan just for being Shia?
El-Aaiun Al-Khalifa
Nope: if you try to support a government overthrow, cause mayhem in-between the States of the Caliphate, or try to pull an Abd al-Rahman (read: try to wage war against the Caliphate and create your own from the States), then issues would occur, but religion is not considered a factor in relations
Nuremgard
Nah. I'm not cursing, babe :P
You're right, my babe is a diver. But I'm trying to show some sympathy. I've been told I need to show some more of that.
What kiiiiiind of power plants?
How bout we all just invade you instead :)
United Continental States
I like you already!
El-Aaiun Al-Khalifa
The Shah would see the Caliphate as a powerful ally. It would not need to fear Farahani aggression. It has its own imperial borders to protect. His Maj would be more interested in trade than war.
El-Aaiun Al-Khalifa
Howdy neighbor...*Sniff**
That was probably the greatest analogy I've ever witnessed...Also the scariest one :-/
Actually, just because I like things organized, what if we did a thing kind of like Vid did before he'd left, on the CG RP we start a separate thread like that, essentially separated from all the other posts because of its bold header announcing which general subthread it is...
I don't know if you know this already but boy that child be dīckin' wit' you
B!tch only I can call him babe and thats too annoy the livign sh!t outta him or so he thinks so LEARN YOUR PLACE MAGGOT!
Friedensreich, Zedelia
I am hella high
What on? I just took about 10 mg of Vicodin an hour ago and I'm feeling fûcking amazing.
good ole' marijuana
The stink makes me boke.
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh just breath it in man
Yuck!
I am all for legalising all drug use though.
Any particular strain? I like edibles (specifically cupcakes) made with purple haze.
Yukona
PLR factbooks are back up
Fried: Danke
Nurem: Then one could expect a trade agreement and potential defense agreement with the Shah if the latter approves of it
Nuremgard
Purple haze is what I prefer. I do not do edibles. Eh. I prefer joints or bongs.
Yukona
Same here. That's why i usually avoid smoking.
That would be agreeable to His Maj. He's all for sticking up for a fellow Muslim power.
I don't smoke, drink or take drugs myself but I'm fine with others doing it so long as they're adults.
Peoples Liberation Republic, El-Aaiun Al-Khalifa
Oh! I'm so sorry neighbor!!! I didn't mean to exclude you!
Ye Ændy knows the plan too!
although I am a non-Muslim military junta, I would like to support the Muslim powers.
Nuremgard, Friedensreich
That moment you're writing a constitution for a monarchy and you end up distracted watching videos on The Division and the Hunters in Survival mode
Nuremgard
So long as they aren't extremist (for example, Wahhabist or Jihadist) and accept a mostly Confucian and Atheist nation, I'd say the same.
The Shah is totally cool with that although any particular reason why?
Writing a constitution lol you're such a political nerd.
That's something I would do too.
El-Aaiun Al-Khalifa
*shrug* Summertime, no word on whether my local college has accepted my request to attend, and no job means sitting around the house for hours on end :p
Nuremgard, United Continental States
why not? Geopolitically speaking, it would be wise to do such.
Nuremgard
I'm extremely lazy. I've been wanting to flesh out my economics for weeks and write a Constitution since I got here, but when I get the time to do it I get distracted with something else.
Nuremgard
Same: I'm balancing fleshing out Pirate Kingdoms with it's overview, revamping the Constitution for The United Confederacy Of Texas (my first nation and de jure primary account), and writing the Constitution for the Caliphate while also finishing the Political Overview on the Federal Government.
Nuremgard
Indeed, considering they're both large and imperialistic.
I wanted to write Nuremgard's constitution but like you I'm too lazy. So I wrote an overview of it instead.
Eeeehhhhhhhhh, I'm going to have fun turning you into rubble in the Great War...
Hope you get into your college!
I only have factbooks for Nuremgard and Valyria.
El-Aaiun Al-Khalifa
This is essentially PLR economics:
PLR economics pertains to a modified command economy that incorporates corporate fascism, state sponsored capitalism, and state-owned corporations. It advocates for low taxes on corporations and subsidies along with incentives to proliferate development, especially pertaining to infrastructure and the sciences. the economy is collectively managed by employers, workers and state officials at the national level. Economically speaking, PLR is most influenced by Revolutionary Syndicalism on the basis of each interest was to form as its own entity with separate organizing parameters according to their own standards, which correlates to economic policies similar to eventual top-down economics. The other dominating factor is that the State develops economic activity, where the means of production are cultivated and administered as a state-owned enterprise. This administering of enterprise includes capital accumulation, wage labor, and centralized management. Therefore, essentially, the PLR government takes on the role as a functioning corporation that extricates the surplus value from the workforce and invest the surplus into furthering production and investments. Overall, PLR economy is capitalistic and privately owned; however, it is subjected to Statist, command economy planning. Furthermore, the means of production are privately owned by corporation and banks; however, the State has majority control over allocating credit and investments.
Nuremgard, The Empire Of Handland, Friedensreich
My country Tangshan is also a republican junta.
Peoples Liberation Republic
such brings tears to my eyes. A fellow junta.
Nuremgard
It's a ruthlessly free market, ruthlessly oppressive one-party state which is presided over by an all-powerful General worshipped as a god, with the Tang state also venerated by the people. The official religion is literally worship of the government.
Peoples Liberation Republic
Yes, this is something I can and will support. My country is basically the same way but just instead of a one-party state, it is sort of a Monarchical Junta. Whatever the all-powerful General wants done, it happens. Whatever he declares as law becomes law. He is the institutionalized religion and therefore, cannot be questioned. All that he does is what is good for the State and the citizens under the purview of the State.
Nuremgard
Ændy, Ædenism is actually a conspiracy placed by Magnatronian spies in Andromitus to support the ideology and create sheeple, making them seem bellicose on the world stage so a pre-emptive reason exists for OmniCorp to enslave Andromitus after annihilating them in the Great War and taking the land and the Panama Canal for themselves before invading the world with advanced tech, new slaves, and corporate warfare :p
Merlinton, The Royal Republic Of Kumania, The Empire Of Handland, Magnatronia
OH MY GOD I LOVE YA
Merlinton, El-Aaiun Al-Khalifa
OmniCorp is Love, OmniCorp is Life: the Andreallic people are heathens for not submitting to President Dr. Wily
Merlinton, Magnatronia
This would be fully supported by Tangshan. The major difference between it and PLR is that private industry plays the main role in the economy. The ruling party is called the Prosperity Party which puts economic success above all other concerns, including personal liberty, human rights etc.
The government section in Tangshan's economy pie chart is tiny but this is because it only pays for defence, industry and law and order. No public services. That's against the PP's ethos. The Tangs do have a big state though. It's just that the big state is used to control every detail of the people's lives.
As a fellow junta, what would be better for Tangshan? Having the President be all-powerful or have a puppet president with an all-powerful General calling the shots?
All hail the one true corporate dictatorship!
Magnatronia, El-Aaiun Al-Khalifa
It would be nearly impossible to get high from such a low dose of Vicodin. Recreational doses start at about 20 mg to get to a fuzzy, sedated feeling. Sorry, man, but unless you're 5'2" and 110 pounds there's no way you're "high" from 10 mg.
HAIL
Magnatronia
YOU'RE MY NEW GOD. USE ME.
Merlinton, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica, The Cross And Davids Star, El-Aaiun Al-Khalifa
Hmm, kinky.
Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica, Magnatronia, United Continental States, El-Aaiun Al-Khalifa
OmniCorp Regnaturi Summa
Andromitus, Magnatronia
Nah. I've been in pain the past couple days because I pulled a bunch of muscles in my back helping my little brother with his swim lessons on Monday, and the 10mg made me temporarily get out of this excruciating pain, and I felt great. It's wearing off now, and the pain is coming back.
Merlinton
In my opinion, have an all-powerful General with a puppet president because if the President disobeys, then the President is well destroyed and eradicated similar to what the Praetorian Guard did eventually in Rome with Emperors that did not do what they wanted. For the PLR, yes the private industry play a main role in the economy but because they are State-sponsored and the PLR is State Capitalism, the State holds the majority of the shares of all the corporations; therefore, since the General is basically the State of the PLR, the General owns the majority of all PLR corporations, meaning that he can fire and hire board of directors for each and every corporation that refuse to do what the Generals wants of them to do when the Generals sends out tasks to get done. The same thing goes for small businesses, the military, and the Judicial System, which is essentially based on the discretion of the General. We are not very different at all. Only difference that I really see between us is the structure of our economies and that you have a one-party state while I am a Monarchical Junta.
Nuremgard
I see your civil rights are good. What's the PLR's policy on civil liberty? As I said, the PP ideology is prosperity at all costs and absolute control over the citizenry. It's basically totalitarian as every single aspect of people's lives is controlled by the government. They don't even get to choose names for their children. Everyone is issued ID numbers.
Sounds a lot like what I want mine to be.
I'm having my economy collectively owned through a distribution of all of a company's stock to its employees (kinda like Starbucks irl but to an extreme), with profits being taken by the government to invest it into industries in need of development through grants and subsidies. Aside from that, government intervention is kept to a minimum, only to prevent the formation of monopolies and the like.
Nuremgard, Peoples Liberation Republic
Goddammít [nation=short]Merlinton[/nation] look what you've started; Oh and I know you were joking but the Great War already happened, and in it I [REDACTED]
Sorry, IDK if Zedalia wants that all public yet ;)
Merlinton, El-Aaiun Al-Khalifa
civil rights? Civil Rights are artificial perceptions developed for the intentions of self-entitlement and socioeconomic privilege. PLR does not possess civil rights. Civil Rights in the opinion of the PLR hinder State Progression and Prosperity and it also hinders the responsibility of maintaining State Security and Sovereignty from foreign and domestic threats.
*Has few laws governing peoples actions* *Steps back slightly*
Speaking of, we need to get the serpents of æden rp back up and running. Any ideas from you or Magnatronia?
Magnatronia
It's ironic that Tangshan's government, which exerts such extreme control over its people, gives free reign to corporations. I have considered making it communist so that the state controls everything, including the economy. Do you think it should become communist or remain capitalist?
Multiverse, mang: universes exists where the Great War was at its projected time, but Ædenism and OmniCorp are already in existence, or at the very least a Great War does not occur until recently
Merlinton
Quit logicing me to confusion!
El-Aaiun Al-Khalifa
I will give your factbook a proper read soon but not tonight. I need to go to bed. It's late here and I need to be up for an afternoon trip into college.
Merlinton, El-Aaiun Al-Khalifa
remain capitalist and grant tax cuts and business subsidies to your defense sector of your government to maintain effective innovation and competition for better equipment and technology for your military instead of being under a command economy. Command Economy for production efficiency but that does not mean that the finished product would be necessarily good compared to a free market capitalist economy that has competition, good levels of production but not necessarily good with mass production and manufacturing. Won't be as rich being communist compared to having a capitalist economy. I would recommend Capitalism because then if need be, you can implement much more effective trading policies, tariffs, and other sort of foreign policy initiatives if you are capitalist because of your diverse, competitive market within the international community. Not saying that you won't be able to compete but your diversity of product and competition will not be as prevalent or effective. Your economy won't be as strong or stable as Communist. It would be larger than a capitalist economy but not as valuable if that makes sense. Capitalist economy would enrich your junta.
Nuremgard
Hell, one multiverse exists in which El-Aaiún and TCaDS exists together, albeit with the latter as a State of the Caliphate or vassal, or even vice versa
Thanks for keeping that hush-hush :D Just for another two days though!
