... ... ... No, just... No... DENIED. Most likely DENIED for good. Now get out. You had to have read the OP when you made this all, becuase you have the format, but you are so blatantly flaunting the rules there's nothing I can really say but get out, now. You've even managed to claim territory which actually marked as claimed on the horribly outdated world map, which tops off almost everything else.

I altered it after a more thorough reading of the rules. Now shut up, get off my back, and relax.

[North Arkana]

Much of Africa has already been claimed. The map is stupidly out of date and the OP doesn't seem to be paying much attention to it... Or this RP for that matter... And get rid of the space force, this is soft-PMT, as in within the next decade. And your military is too large for your population, almost 20% of the total. The limit is 2% or 9 million, which ever one is smaller, and even then, you better be pretty stupidly large to have 9 million. Like 9 billion large, becuase 9 million, even when below the 2% mark, is unrealistically large.

I will attempt to make a up to date map tomorrow based on accepted claims and conquered lands

I never saw that in the OP. Quote that regulation chapter and verse or I'm going to ignore you. All I saw was an upper limit of 9 million soldiers. And, for your information, many countries are already exploring the possibility of space based combat forces. The United States and Russia were experimenting with space based weaponry back in the 1960s. A space force is easy in the now, let alone ten years from now.

[North Arkana]

The two percent rule is a widely used one, and is more like common law than a stated one. As for the space forces, notice that they were experimented with, and went almost nowhere, and that it was the two most powerful nations on earth at the time, not some small nation of 9 million people and a GDP smaller than that of the state of New Jersey. Also, I would appreciate it if you don't drag a bunch of your own puppets into this.

Be imaginative and have fun with setting your stats, as it is 2022. However, if they are too unreasonable, you will be rejected. A guideline would be no more than 9,000,000 total troops are permitted. I want it that way so things will be relatively even and fair for everyone.

An RP admin (the co-op) has found your stats unreasonable.

Explain how an army of less than 2 million is unreasonable stats? And as for space forces going nowhere: Russia has armed the Mir space station, the USA and China have anti satellite missiles, and the USA could deploy a space fighter in roughly ten years. They are going places. We're supposed to have fun and be imaginative with this. You are putting a cap on that, Mr. North Arkana, and taking the fun out of it. But no matter. I can get by. I've still got my FCSMGVs, my JLTVs, my Strykers, my FMTVs, my HEMTTs, my JSFs, my stealth bombers, and my LCSs, all of which is cheap.

And until the 2% thing is stated law rather than just commonly used, I'm going to treat it as only a suggestion. My military falls well beneath the 9 million person cap so leave it be.

Now as far as the territory is concerned, why haven't you updated it since you seem to be in charge?

A military of 1.9 million in a nation of 9 million is beyond absurd. Do you know what percentage of the population of a normal nation is of military age? Around 20% give or take some depending upon the stage of development. That age group is also the majority of the work force. Do you know what percentage of your nation you're claiming to be in the military? 21%. Your economy would be dead beyond recovery. Do you know what your own GDP? Your GDP is 415 billion MD, which comes out to 103.75 billion NSD/USD when converted using NSeconomy. Do you know what the GDP of the State of Connecticut is? 216.3 billion USD/NSD, which is taken as the equivalent of the same amount of NSD. Do you know your own nation's military budget? 15.853 billion MD, which comes out to a pathetic 3.963 billion NSD/USD. Do you know much your "cheap" equipment costs? A single JSF is expected to cost from 85 to 120 million USD/NSD, 3% of your budget. A single B-2 stealth bombers costs 737 million NSD/USD, 18.5% of your military budget. A single LCS costs between 350 to 360 million NSD/USD, 9% of your budget. Congratulations, buy one of each and you've already spent more than a quarter of your military budget. Do I need to continue tearing you a new one, or are you convinced of the absurdity of your military yet? Now. Get. Out.

North Arkana, the RP is yours. I'm officially appointing you OP. Do what you want with the brand.

Ugh... Unless anyone is willing to step in and take my place... I'll be shutting down this RP. My further participation in the IC will not occur, and my activities in the OOC will cease as well (unless I see something so horrifically stupid I have to step in). If you all can keep this alive without an actual OP or co-op, go for it, but this RP has been draining instead of invigorating, a sure sign that it isn't good for me.

It would be a shame if you shut it down. I was enjoying the rp and I hope someone will take over OP

OK. I'll step into this vacuum. Until I'm dead or someone better comes along.

Nope, in my eyes, this qualifies as horrifically stupid. Now get out. There are far more qualified people here than... You.

EDIT: you know what, f*** it. I'm getting back in the saddle for this RP. At least until someone who's better qualified and more willing shows up. I'd die before seeing this RP in the hands of Manticoran.

EDIT: and Manticoran, your app has been DENIED, permanently as far as I am concerned.

Can't, stuck on mobile and can't edit the OP. And any updated map would get buried in future messages if I put it in here.

Oh, that makes since. What if you make a new thread about the map?
