Of course not. Good relations would not be deterred because of your socioeconomic/political construction of your country just so long that you do not attempt to alter the already established institutions and administrative governance of the PLR and furthermore, you do not become a National Security threat, of which I do not believe would ever happen. Good relations would also be hindered if you expand too close to my borders and/or into my desired zones of conquest.

Don't worry I'll be making sure Kumanian tax dollars aren't going to be used to fund anything for OmniCorp. My government will see to it that Kumanian funds for DECNESS will be used properly.

While an unexpected move, it is wise to cool down tensions between Kumania and Magnatronia. Queen Emily will probably announce an agreement to demilitarize the Kumanian-Magnatronian border later on.

A wonderful evening to you all. My scientists have engineered a way to move my entire country to this confederacy. I won't ask how.

What do you think of me? I know I've been allowed to be your former colonial master, but that's the past

Tserra wrote:Same question. I am genuinely curious.

I do not know much about your country to formally establish an idea of how willing my country would be to have productive and meaningful relations with you.

Baxten wrote:What do you think of me? I know I've been allowed to be your former colonial master, but that's the past

being as though you are my former colonial master, there is some resentment engrained within our society. The PLR government of the PLR often manipulated that resentment to fuel military modernization and advancement along with arrests and crackdowns on protests and interest groups/organizations that are remotely similar to the way that which you ruled my lands; however, there is always a possibility to reversing such a negative view of your country and people. Do I think that can happen? Absolutely but it would have to be something that is done over time and not an automatic fix. Relations are basically in limbo as of right now.

Oh and BTW, the DECNESS conference:

http://s15.zetaboards.com/COFN/topic/10219387/1/

[spoiler=Off Topic Rant About Fried's OOC Life] <Rant>I'm really contemplating taking this apartment complex near my campus to court.

My friend and I applied for a 2 bedroom apartment back in February, and they said "we'll have to wait to be given an offer by July at the latest". So, Miranda and I waited, and waited, and waited, thinking that we were going to be given an offer for sure, until now that it is June and my family started getting worried that they won't give us an offer.

So my friend called up the office for the apartments to see what was going on, and they said that we were on a waitlist.

They couldn't tell us we were on a waitlist back when we applied? They had to be cryptic and say "we'll give you an offer by July"? Let alone the fact that we have been trying to keep in contact with the office and our representative to keep up to date about us getting an apartment, with our representative even going a week without returning our phone calls and replying to our emails?

There are people that are from the other side of the state the go to my university. Even Mitchell is from all the way near Gary. Hell, there are people from out of state, and even from outside the country.

They can't wait this long to tell us directly that we are on a waitlist and us being given an offer is up to blind chance on the off hand scenario where someone moves out.

That's just bad business practice. So, now my friend and I are scrambling to find other places to apply. This is putting a lot of stress on both she and I to now look for openings and plan to readjust all of our pre-existing plans and expenses. I also demand that my holding fee be refunded to me so that i may use it to apply to other places.</Rant>[/spoiler]

This, like our constitution by the same author, is lacking important details. The most primary of which is a clause regarding enforcement.

Specifically, if the nations of our "sister region" are to be treated as citizens when they acquire a visa, are they subject to our court procedures and the sentences that can be handed down by it? Would this sentence apply in both regions? What would the home region do in a case when a citizen of theirs does not comply with the laws or sentences of the counterpart region?

Which is why I'm voting no. I enjoy brevity, but I don't like ambiguity.

Visa citizens would be expected to abide by the laws of the region in which they are visiting. Thus, they would be punishable by our laws. The agreements will allow the home region to take action as well, as the accused would be a citizen of their region, too, and subject to their judiciary, which in most cases side with us. And all of this to the vice versa.

Yes, that's the purpose of the clause. Yes that's why its a treaty. The region that the citizens was in when the offense in question would occur would have jurisdiction. The nation would have all of the rights and privileges of a citizen in the proceedings.

You are free to vote as you wish, just simply wanted to address this. If you dislike ambiguity, then you likely should vote no as this treaty is intentionally ambiguous to allow for changing circumstances and times. Thanks! -Humph

I wouldn't necessarily call them opinions, though.

The unfortunate fault of the XM25 is that it's weight is twice that of a more simple rifle like the M4A1 Carbine, this -combined with the weight of the ammunition and the limited load available- indelibly affects the weapon system by removing a rifleman and taking away space from another two...and that's if the one with the weapon is expected to have an appreciable loadout.

I'll refrain from filling this post out entirely with criticism of the weaponry you've involved, but it serves to mention that having such an array of weaponry and Vehicles will prevent your nation from fielding sufficient numbers of any should the need for maintenance grow large (as during a war).

As an aside, and as a last note: I would generally be wary with regards to Sixth Gen designs like the Raider.

Wow, and you overreact. I was calling it like it is- that guy has no reason to disregard such well informed critique with "Mmk, I'm still going to do things my way despite having no logical reason todo so."

Kalaron definitely knows more about military equipment than anyone else in the region. I've learned to accept his criticisms- even if they're unrequested- because he knows more about the subject than I. If he says something I use is impractical, then like any other rational person, I'd look for a replacement for it.

Oh and calling him stubborn isn't ad hominem? You coulda just said that he should consider his advice instead of basically saying he's GOT to take the advice of a dude he *doesn't even know* and change his factbooks cause of that. So how about you and him lay off and let him do what he wants. It's not like it effects either of you anyways, since Kal barely RPs and you've had us sitting in an airport not just in IC months, but for months in real life.

If I do recall correctly, the words "you must" have not come out of my mouth during this whole situation. I said "take [Kal's criticisms] to heart"; if you're equating that to "you must take his advice", then maybe you should read more about what people say before jumping the gun.

And, in all honesty, I don't even think I have the desire to finish that. Literally nothing is going to come out of it.

*makes two comments that are deliberately nice*

*Drops the issue because it's really not the big*

And you're insulting me...why?

I think it's silly to use the XM25 in its current form , but I never said he couldn't, nor was I shoving it down his throat?

You want to have an argument? Go ahead, but please leave me out of it when you have an issue with someone else.

Oh yeah, sorry Kal. But to be honest it'd be cool to see you RP more.

Cause that's doesn't sound like a order instead of a suggestion.

Whatever though, I swear it's like only a couple of you here are actually capable of keeping it real.

I might once summer starts up, feeling a bit on edge as it is.

Anyhow, don't sweat it, I was just confused as all hell when I clicked on and saw you making comments like me and Fried were diddling with each other to diddle over our new buddy, tbh.

Hehe, thank you :D

The military has always been a big object of fascination for me, so I'm glad it shows in my posts :^D

I'm surprised people are attempting to argue with a military junta. That just sounds like trouble waiting to happen. Settle down.

Why are people fighting? What is the reason for the fight? Is it really necessary to fight ?

Good! Use your aggressive feelings, boy. Let the hate flow through you! Your hate has made you powerful. Now fulfill your destiny, take you're father's place by my side.
