Protip: Everything we lefties don't like is either fascism or imperialism. It's the buzzwords that keep the propaganda machine running, y'know?

Color me interested.

Dunno if my schedule will ever coincide with long-enough periods of creative downtime for me to indulge here, but yes, color me interested.

(Of course, trying to play the diplomatic game with a nation as determinedly pacifistic as mine is will cost money, and money is an issue IC-wise.)

Hmm, Aterria had a very imperialistic history before the revolution...

We hold a number of external territories which totally aren't colonies

We have lots of allies from where we come from, and we used to have puppet regimes.

This thread is so active, I literally can't blink without a new post being up. Not that it's bad

in Crysukon canon, the islands of Qaerinthia, Sannoch and Hulami were conquered from a warmongering theocracy which after many petty wars between us, they fell apart due to internal strife.

Well, feel free to call me a totalitarian imperialistic feudal monarchy. You wouldn't be wrong.

You can call us monarchist imperialist dogs, if you like. It is true, after all.

German Confederation=Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy

It's an interesting premise! And it grew into something much bigger than what I'd originally expected. Initially I thought this would be a minor scuffle a la 'Nam; now we're talking about what amounts to third World War. OP must be delighted. And so am I. :lol:

Only bummer is I probably won't be around for the next couple days; moving out of college and all that. It won't be long, though. At most, I'll be back after the weekend.

Yeah, I'm also gonna have trouble over the weekend, but meh, it'll be good.

Not only that, but so we don't have to make things up.

Military factbooks are always fun. So many war machines, so little time...

by **Aterria** » Thu May 12, 2016 5:56 pm

well, I'm mostly good to go as of now.

by **Crysuko** » Thu May 12, 2016 6:09 pm

speaking of factbooks, we have drones as well. and not just bomber drones, but fighter and tank ones as well.

Try to keep it MT. Our tanks still use crews.

by **Pillowlandia** » Thu May 12, 2016 6:13 pm

It's a slippery slope, especially since those sorta things are probably less than two decades away.

Since we're already pushing it, I'd propose that things like railguns, spaceplanes, and satellite-based weapon systems ought to represent the absolute apex of current weapons technology. Would that be a good rule of thumb?

Just trying to keep the OP from getting any of us for godmodding of metagaming.

That's why I am using older tanks and guns.
