Never mind don't do this.

War is over.

…their glorious brown asses shining over the horizon…prayers are answered with an end to the Oriental War I…

Helping to stop a war in the east and collectively mooning our neighbors to the southwest?

Helping to stop a war in the east

You didn't do that.

The only reason the war ended was because I decided to stop attacking.

And I prefer "NERV-Otak War." Calling it the "Oriental War I" simply sounds ridiculous, partly because of the use of the word "Oriental" which has racist undertones and also because there will be no more wars in this region. You will obviously not attack me because such would be outside of your nature, and I cannot envision any of the local NPC nations doing anything but sitting still.

In other words, Japan will fight no more, forever.

I thought the "Oriental War I" was sort of odd as well, seeing as things are virtually never called "One" until there is a "Two". If you think Otak and Sagarmatha had no part in stopping that war, I pity your naivete.

Otak and Sagramantha; Where our motto is "Make peace with your neighbors, or you sure as hell better make peace with your gods."

In case that one sailed over anyone's head, it roughly translates to "Don't be a warlike state or we'll kick your ass *"

*=Or, in my case, flip shit and hide in the mountains.

You just have to complain about everything don't you.

Damn, I couldn't find a fresh Wi-Fi Hotspot in time. All this driving across the country makes it hard to keep up.

@Commissions plan

Gain 1 city, lose 3. Hmmm.

If I accept the deal will this earn me the allegiance of the commission so they may become useful to me later?

If you think Otak and Sagarmatha had no part in stopping that war, I pity your naivete.

Otak just stood by and gave up while I chewed up his country. If you consider that a form of passive resistance, fine, but I call it despair. And his destabilization of my government may have made a difference at first, but I simply attacked him again. If anyone, it was Cale that facilitated the war's end due to his command relating to my people's disdain for the war.

And as for Sagarmathia, I don't really consider prayer to be an action that does anything other than make people feel better about doing nothing to stop violence. An example: the US had been decrying the violence in Syria for two years and it did nothing. Another: after the countless tragedies this country has experienced in the past two years, people take to Twittter each time and express how they're "praying" for the victims. As if God will somehow quicken the recovery. They could send money to an actual aid organization instead of putting stock a supposed omnipotent deity, but this is ridiculous because a. the deity condoned the disaster by refusing to prevent it, and b. expressing the sentiment is a way of removing guilt from oneself without having to actually do anything – it is worse than slactivism. Perhaps some will appreciate the fact that someone kind of sympathizes with them, but if it were my house that had been destroyed, I don't feel it would make a difference.

You did nothing. Your begging did nothing to influence my decisions. The fate of nations is not determined by the mewling of pacifists. I pity your naivete.

You just have to complain about everything don’t you.

In all seriousness, I don't know what's gotten into me. I feel like I have nothing to do but complain. It's getting to be a major predicament.

Prayer doesn't change gods. Prayer changes people, who change governments. Just because you can't read between the lines doesn't mean we've done nothing. Just because you don't believe in the spirits that haunted your allies last turn doesn't mean people are not suffering.

The Neo-Buddhists walked out of India without even the clothes on their backs, but what they left behind wasn't just empty temples and piles of cloth; they left behind an impression that the Hindus will not soon forget. We refuse to let it be called slacktivism until it's been proven that it had no effect.

- Military Industry rises with the call to war, as Howitzers and Rifles spring into hand.
- The Eggman is placed as the most favored nation as they grow closer. Real close. Like "Our new national sport is breathing eachother's breath and sharing needles".

- Cattonia's war effort continues with great success, as the combination of Napalm bombings and Mechanized infantry proves to be a viable tactic. Military Commanders fondly refer to it as "Turning and Burning", while the Union comes to know it as "JESUS CHRIST EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE THERE CAN BE NO GOD IN THIS HELL".
- Trade opens up with SLAVE, and soon exotics are switching hands. La Plata is less willing though.
- Shaped charge explosives packed onto rocket propellants enter widespread use, giving a single man the ability to pierce the heaviest of armors.

- A new paper-money is issued, backed by "This is money so use it". Spending drops as people are slow to change currencies.

- Expeditions claim Oman, however, Syserror is turned from the East by the Vietnamese Military Police. They turn right back around and go home.
- "Television" or "Tee Vee", a display of moving images into one contiguous presentation, becomes a popular device among many Syserrorians, as their advancement and production is subsidized for some reason.
- The navy sees a growth in assets. To think only a few years ago there was no navy at all.
- An international Airline is established, using Commercial variants of production Sky Boats. They aid greatly in large scale travel from home to the delegation to the refugee camps.
- Scientists feel they are on the verge of a great discovery regarding the Atomic Project after a few controlled tests. For now though all that uranium is good for is making big explosions. As if that could ever be useful.

Leninland would like to engage in peace talks with the Eggman Empire and Morussania if possible.

I second this.

We took Sastrei because it was inactive and we needed more living space. I do wish no harm is coming in me and Leninland's way. We don't want to fight you guys, there is nothing bad we can do immediately. Also, we won't do anything to you when we are satisfied with our techs.

Sure Leninland has reached the new age, but he barely started, and I think he is a nice guy. Ally with us, we aren't bad.

The demands of the Moon are not met … dozens of beams of light from the sky burning cities across central Europe…

Who else is going to start worshiping them? We, as a global community, should probably appease their demands by wiping CBR from the map, before more attacks come. Rome, Ankara, Berlin, Paris, all gone. Anybody else could be next.

@Leninland:
What have you got to offer? Presently I am satisfied with my gains; I wanted the corridor to Mexico and now I have it. Eggman might want something more, though. Our goal was to establish allied hegemony over North America for security, and perhaps an alliance is the quicker option. It might also be prudent to band together to remove CBR before any nuclear-death-lasers-from-the-sky start hitting us too.

I have bio-weapons, so I think I could help to take out the CBR and deal with our death-laser problem. If you stop attacking me now, I'll even let you keep the territory you…borrowed from me (this applies to Eggman as well) and will team up with you.

Colonization of Burma fails as the Vietnamese Military Police forces the expedition home.

Efforts to reach the Polynesian areas are cut off by a Vietnamese Police Fleet, also in the midst of barring Morussanian and Syserroran colonization efforts.

Syserror is turned from the East by the Vietnamese Military Police.

Well, I see NPC nation Vietnam is setting themselves up as the dickheads of the Indian Ocean.

@Cale:

I'll just ask openly about this: I keep suggesting in my turns that Sagarmatha should be expanded to the northeast to meet borders with Otak, but this never happens, nor is there any indication of why. What's up?

What the hell? The moon survivors want the CBR dead and clearly have the orbital ion cannons to do that themselves with perfect ease

Yet they ask Europe with our shitty industrial age cultures to do all their dirty work instead. Then use their ion cannons on us if we don't do it?

What a bunch of assholes. No wonder Russian Fedora nuked them off the planet

Sigh. Alright so is everyone getting ready to assault CBR next?

I invaded because I didn't like the way Sastrei was being treated. This may have been a bit rash on my part, but I realized Sastrei did not have much time left if this invasion kept up.

My quarrel was not intended to be with you. I just hope what I've done has shown you that I don't tolerate unnecessary aggression towards other players on my continent.

Trying to conquer you would be tedious and outside of my current objectives. I've delayed my invasion of the Reich long enough as it is, and I plan on striking next turn. I'll lift my blockade if you'll agree to help me in the war against CBR, since Europe was of no help the first time around.

@Brucker: I seemed to have overlooked that in your PM, I'll correct next turn, with additions should you make that a move. There are several things I overlooked it seems, including Sloth's Biological Research.

@BSoD: Bit of a spoiler, it's hard to see who's who from space. Remnants of the past show Britain was SOMEWHERE in Europe and CBR is a British faction, if you shoot Europe you'll hit them eventually.

@Cale

Dane used those same lasers to wipe out RussianFedora's evacuee's on Mars with extreme precision

The only reason the moon folk would need Europe would be to weed out any CBR hiding underground from the space lasers, but if they softened up the CBR first with those lasers, they wouldn't have needed to shoop-da-whoop me into doing it

@BSoD

Yeah, we're going to need to take them out fast before Space America proceeds to murder us all.

"Socialist oligarchy" Fuck. I just became Oceania.

You stop blockading me, and I'll stop any further invasion of Sastrei and assist your attack on the CBR

So it is settled then; North America descends upon Britain this coming turn. Can't wait.

The only difference from before is that it was a brand name.

Hey, not that I want to nitpick or anything, but some of you are trying to jump ahead of your ages. Remember that the Imperial Age is 1860-90ish, and Industrial Age is 1900-1945.

Wait, are you saying my cold fusion reactors may not be online by next turn?

A good thing too, as the CBR shows a surprisingly capable, though small, fleet of Ships and Submersibles. They deal a large amount of casualties to the Eggman fleet, but the Empire is successful in blunting CBR resistance over water, allowing Morussanian and Lenin assets to establish a beachhead in the south of the Reich.
- Anti-Aircraft vehicles become the highest demand asset. What little CBR Airforce can be afforded to the South is chewed through in force.

- The Sagarmathan Militias begin to make a move on retaking their Lands. Noteworthy is the extensive use of Gas weapons, which effectively uproot dug in Indians. A more firm resistance is met on approach to a recently taken City, and it is worth noting the particularly poor equipment and size of the invaders.
- Advances in computing lead nowhere, as Sagarmatha lacks the Electrical grid providing much advanced technology that other Nations have.

United Pacifica

Economy: Good

- An aircraft carrier is created and enters service. This single ship is known as the "S.S. MAXIMUM FUCKER". Respected General Tupui Kalkala’i himself notes how very "badass" it is.
- A series of embassies are established in neighboring countries, and soon Pacifica is seeing light tugs in the affairs of others.
- The Indonesian Pact extends an invitation, citing a need for a middle man between them and the "lesser nations".

Otak

Government: "Corporate Oligarchy"
Military: Average, Guerrilla Warfare
Economy: Average

- The "Corporates" return to their status of power.
- A public education system is restored to Otak, and soon the widespread problem of illiteracy is brought down dramatically.
- Grants are given to Automobile and Mining businesses, which soon gives Otak an economic backbone of Mineral Exports.

Syserror
Blue Screen (of Death)
Government: Constitutional Democratic Republic
Military: Good
Economy: Good
Tech: Atomic Age

- Syserror announces that they will not be engaging CBR after all. The Commission, however, is still wary, and while trade and borders are relaxed, Syserror has come under ban from the Commission, in part due to its long-standing alliance with Königsberg, but mostly because:
- A bomb test is made inside "The Zone", which is the contaminated region. The explosion nearly blinded several observers, and it is estimated that the bomb had the energy of nearly thirty kilotons of TNT. Despite attempts to keep it mostly under-wraps, news quickly spreads across the Globe of Syserror's New Weapon. A Singsong Embassy is established soon after.
- The Moon Folk aren't all that upset with Syserror's decision, seeing as the entire continent of North America has declared war.
- Rocket tests are made in a new way. A large, multi-stage rocket is tested, and it manages to reach the upper ends of the Atmosphere before breaking down.
- Reinforcements are put into Oman. And by reinforcements, I rather mean "an invasion force that attacks the Morussanian Yemen Colony", which makes ground on the Coastal pass before finally being held off near the Colony Head.

Dammit, Commission. Must you be so finicky?

Must you start wars?

And make nukes?

Well yes, this is NatRP isnt it?

Just for kicks, here's the name of my corporations:
Seoul Exports
Kamina Simmons and Associates Mining
East Busang Telecommunications
I did this because I was bored… Maybe if I get bored enough I'll make insignia's for them.

I promoted a war to remove CBR from Europe because the Lunar Entities were nuking European cities indiscriminately, including cities in Iberia and Syserror, and now both of said nations are at war with me. I am removing my invasion forces from CBR postehaste, and I would hope that my other American allies follow suit, so that the laser-based carnage from the sky can continue to bring death to these ungrateful elements who oppose our just cause.
