Frieden-und Freudenland wrote:Hey, what would you think about an issue where a coup happens in @@NAME@@?

I know there is already such an issue (#192), but that issue says that the coup is orchestrated by revolutionaries. What I have in mind is a coup where the army of @@NAME@@ turns against them. What do you do if your own soldiers are trying to overthrow you?

And I could perhaps make this issue valid for those nations who chose option 2 for #192. (Hint: Option 2 suggests building up the military as a deterrent against revolutionaries attempting a coup d'etat.) I think it would be quite ironic to strengthen your military to protect your government form a coup, only to be toppled later by the very army that you created. What do you think?

Max lives in... Melbourne? Me live in Melbourne? Ew yuck! Me living in Melbourne is like you living in Lachanshire (or Yorkshire, the one that's not where you from)

Damn why did I think he was from Perth? (I had a better joke lined up for that one too...
For the record it was, I think you're confusing the West Coast for the Pacific Coast)
