You realize i'm Israel, right?

[Bujahla]

@EU people, you guys should be doing whatever it takes to make Ukraine pro-EU. If Ukraine remains pro-Russian, it will join the EAU and spell disaster for your relationships and your chance to stop the EAU from spreading.

[Volvek]

I realize that I'm Germany and part of the EU and all(I think, don't really know much about the EU), but I really don't care about the Ukraine.

No but its the fact that if they join the Eurasian Union that will become established in 2015 by Putin, then its a foothold into Europe that will be a big threat. Belarus is in Europe, yes, but if a more developed nation like Ukraine falls to the EAU, then it will become a threat in the future.

Good luck with the coup Venezuela, your going to get some quick United States response when that happens i'll tell you.

[Galter Gulcher]

Would it be possible for me to play as Far Right paramillitaries in the US?

[Waztaskio]

What I would recommend, is allowing you to start a political party, and then creating a Paramilitary wing and train them up. You need a party to have the paramilitary wing.

[Bolovia]

Good luck with the coup Venezuela, your going to get some quick United States response when that happens i'll tell you.

I'd choose wisely how you'll go about responding to the coup. May I remind you another war of intervention will not be good for deflating economy and trade sanctions will hurt you more than me. Plus what's it to ya, my business is my business back off.

Well, seems like everything to be said already has been.

Also, EAU? Threat? What are they gonna do, sanction us? The only thing they can do is compete on the market, which, really, isn't terrible, nor is it avoidable. Ukraine in EU would be nice though.

[Gujiristan]

Anyway, the Hong Kong app will need to be approved by the Jade Confederacy who is playing as China. If they approve you're in.

Still nothing from the Jade Confederacy... :|

The EAU is a security threat to your nation. As well it will have the world's largest supply of oil and such. It will be a force to compete with in the future. Also since Russia is expected to be a food super power in the 2030's that'll be a threat to the EU. But I guess that's not soon, the point still stands. Stop them from forming.

[Bujahla]

Russia needs to make the opening post to the Winter Olympics....

[Fesconia]

Is China or the UK or India or the US taken?

[Bujahla]

Is China or the UK or India or the US taken?

Check the OP list. I believe all of those are taken (besides maybe India). But China hasn't posted yet and we need some stuff soon from everyone. I would suggest taking India if someone hasn't yet.

Edit: This is the 420th post, lets just stop the thread here on a 'high' note :3

Security threat in what way?

threat
θrɛt/Submit
noun
...
2.
a person or thing likely to cause damage or danger.
"hurricane damage poses a major threat to many coastal communities"

If they invade me, then USA nuke their ass. If they land troops here, I shoot 'em. If they phuq around with bonds and stock securities, well, I can do that better.

[Owlowiscious]

I'd play as the European Union, only I don't think I would be very involved if I did. So, here goes (:

Official Name of Nation: Federative Republic of Brazil.
Population estimate: 201,032,714
Head of State and Government: Dilma Rousseff.
Capital City: Brasilia.

A brief rundown of the military
Army: 200,000
Air Force: 75,000
Navy: 75,000
Other: With the 10th largest Armed Forces in the world, Brazil is a force to be reckoned with militarily. Brazil does not possess any nuclear or chemical weapons. It is a strong supporter of complete nuclear and chemical disarmament around the world. Brazil does, however, have sufficient resources and the technology to produce nuclear weapons. Brazil is not involved in any territorial disputes or other conflicts with neighbours. The Brazilian Armed Forces have a strong tradition of participating in UN Peacekeeping Missions. The current major Brazilian military objective is to form a strong, blue water navy that can protect its interests at sea, in partnership with its large brown water navy which patrols and protects Brazils vast system of rivers and lakes, as well as it's coast. The Navy currently operates 107 ships, including an aircraft carrier. The Air Force operates 822 aircraft and 214 helicopters. The Army operates almost 30 000 vehicles in all; the majority logistical. It operates almost 500 tanks.
Describe the Government system: Federal Presidential Republic with a bicameral executive.
Describe the economy: Brazil has the 7th largest GDP in the world. As part of the BRIC Group, it is one of the fastest growing in the world and is predicted by many economists and analysts to become the fifth largest in the decades to come. It ranks first among Latin America and second in the Americas in most rankings of economies. Tourism is a major economy, creating the most service based jobs. The economy is mixed, with exports including iron, steel, ethanol, soy, aircraft, cars, and technology. However, the economy does face problems; corruption alone costs Brazil $41M and the Brazil Cost makes trading in Brazil difficult for foreign businesses.
Describe the state of Foreign Affairs: Brazil enjoys cordial relations with most nations. It uses it's status as an emerging global power and current regional power to not only provide financial aid to many countries, but also to provide assistance and technology to implement reforms and help stimulate growth. Foreign policy is, ultimately, down to the wishes of the President.
Describe the state of the nation internally: Brazil is a stable first world democracy. However, it does have many internal problems. The lack of infrastructure has made communication between those in the remote Amazon regions and the rest of Brazil difficult. Illiteracy is a major problem in those regions, as is child and mother mortality. Tribes are still discovered on an irregular basis that have little or no knowledge of the outside world. The country has a large gap between the rich and poor. Recently, riots have occurred in major, Southern and Western cities such as Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Salvador over this problem.
Any additional notes: Don't think so (:

RP example: I've been in around 30 RPs on Nationstates, under three different names - I'd prefer not to list them (taps nose). I don't have any RP examples on this account - sorry (:

'USA nuka their ass.', yeah. That made me laugh. No nation on Earth will simply just fire a nuke at anybody without sparking global thermonuclear war, which you might as well just 'bite the bullet'. It would be easier, quicker, and a lot less messy, though messy nonetheless.

[Waztaskio]

Actually to stop this EAU crisis, USA will pass a bill to allow for oil refining in Alaska, therefore solving this future oil conflict from harming us.

Edit: And so it does not come out as MG, I was going to do this after Venezuela does his stuff anyway, so yea. So it was being planned ahead of time.
