Historically, Bettia has tended to remain neutral and not get too involved in foreign affairs...

Northern Bettia, on the other hand, are well known for being a complete shower of bastards, especially now they are ruled by their new and ultra-terrifying dictator. Therefore, they would be well-suited to the Strategic Alliance of Autocratic States. Let the fun and games commence!

QUOTE (Starblaydia @ Oct 11 2012, 11:10 PM)
What I'd point out to newer nations is don't just join the CCS as the default option. One founder is full of insane killy death bird freaks from an industrial nightmare land, while the other is a 'mostly' benevolent socialist dictator.

Not quite the UN here, folks wink.gif Hence my support of Kinitaria and Wight setting up something of their own, as well as ESF doing something of his own (unless more people have elves, of course)

This is true. Most smaller nations will (at best) be used as proxy warriors in any inevitable huge conflict I get involved in. The most likely outcome is we'll say "Hey! Starblaydia! War Time! Go at them, Leorudo!" and then Leorudo's pair of tanks will come up against the might of the Starblaydi war engine.

  • Go! Leorudo!
  • Leorudo used everything they've got!
  • It's not very effective...
  • What will Starblaydia do?
  • Starblaydia used RAWRCRUSH!
  • It's super effective!
  • Leorudo fainted!

I think Leo feinted just reading that.

I like Kintaria and Wight's idea. The region could use some sort of covert ninja/assassin conglomerate to deal wth. That would be a challenge for all of us IC.

And I see no problem with ASMV an Wight being allied outside of the CCS shouls tey choose to go that route. Dont join the CCS just because our nations get along well. Remember that every nation here should have their own agendas as well

As for TRANQUIL, I have almost no Elf population, but I do have 3 semi-autonomous Dwarven states that are liking their station in the DSE less and less who might be willing to contribute.

D&S loves the Elven Alliance idea enough that it might pull her away from Farmville enough to participate if it comes to fruition.

and Geis, the welfare idea is worth exploring as the number of humans recievin beefits would be vastly greater than those with longer lifespans, so while individual amounts would be skewed, long-term overall percentages should fall nicely within accepted ranges. Just my thoughts.

Bazalonia is a parliamentary democracy headed by a Prime Minister. Structurally similiar to Australia except the Governor-General does not represent any queen.

As for Alliances... I'm not sure. We'd certainly be up for one the question is which one?

Anyone but SAAS start bidding for Bazalonian involvement!

(OOC) That's interesting. That would be nice for me to explore more the history of my nation and its current state. Cafundéu used to be a Monarchy with powers centralized on the Emperor, but now is a Republic in which powers are very divided, so much that the 8 states have even some slight autonomy. Also, what was the country with some of the biggest companies of the region is now passing through a deep crisis. So, still a nation with a strong economy, but one which is struggling to find new ways of keeping this power under a scenario of immense political confusion, popular unrest and oppressive taxes... so, alliances with other nations could help Cafundéu to overcome these difficult times of the transition to the new government. I believe that the current state of the Progressive New Republic, opposed to the globalist and somewhat invasive attitudes of the defunct Empire, makes the country lean more to the CSS, or be a pragmatic nation looking to profit in the middle of the situation... which, thinking well, would fit perfectly the Cafundelense historical characteristics.

OOC: I've been involved in two colonial conflicts and one legitimate war, all of which had their outcomes decided in advance. I've never been interested in RPing open-ended wars, or calculating realistic army sizes and tech levels, not least because doing this for a slightly postmodern nation of 650 million people would be fairly complicated. Our armed forces, to the extent that their defined, consist of three dozen carrier groups and a powerful land-based airforce.

IC: The NMS are a fairly decentralized (American levels of federalism), bicameral, parliamentary/presidential (French model) system. We stand aloof.

EDIT: We'd like to propose a mutual self-defense/NORAD-style co-ordination of space-based IGNORE cannons with our Bettian neighbors.

SECOND EDIT: Is there any way I can get this "14 Posts! Magic!" tag permanently? I'm really enjoying it. Or maybe it's just all this post-graveyard-shift beer.

Yeah, probably. I was just using it as a mental example for why a government might be under pressure to make separated systems because of specieal differences and how that might bring about inequity. Things seems to be going smoothly in other directions, so it's probably not something to worry about anyway.

Given Bazalonia and Cafundeu's responses, maybe we should form an Auzerian Ambivalence League. We don't know what we stand for, but we'll stand for it together - maybe.

But more seriously, would Baz and Caf be interested in a sort of sub-regional group? It just makes sense to me that if Geisenfried would 'break' its isolation, it would more readily do so with its neighbors than countries on the other side of the region, given no major ideological differences.

I thank Falcania for their welcoming me to join the CCS, but I think I will pursue the Federation of Socialist & Syndicalist States with Kinitaria, Star is right, it will make for more political intrigue which is something I'd be interested in trying out. And my established alliance with ASMV just adds to the potentially flammable mix.

Leorudo has two tanks, you say? Hmm. I may have to commission a fleet of armed bicycles. I'm not one to shy away from Mutually Assured Destruction.

I agree with your idea Geis... it would make more sense for Cafundéu too given the current situation of the country, in which Cafundéu became more isolated, so wouldn't be part of one of the major alliances. I'd like to form a group with you and Baz.

I would also be intersted in Geis' alliance, given I'm really near to everyone there. If that wouldn't bother you.

I won't say no (unless you plan on still applying to the CCS, in which case I will say no, if only to prevent entanglement) but I'll leave it to Baz and Caf for their opinions on the matter, if this is going to be a thing.

I haven't decided completely yet. I'm still between the two. Both sound nice. So let's leave it to Cafundéu and Bazalonia to decide then.

With WTQ's small size and their enmity towards most hings non-Draconic in nature (not to mention the fact that their floating city is even slower than an old "ironsides" ship), it is higly likely that the Quasmufadis would be more than willing to join any type of spy/assassin group rather than an outright alliancce.
