[submitted] Sanctions imposed on @@NAME@@!

Postby New Leppikania » Tue Dec 08, 2015 7:53 am

I noticed: you can impose sanctions in an awful lot of issues. What if your nation was the target of someone else's sanctions?

Name: Sanctions Imposed On @@NAME@@!

Description: what to do about being sanctioned

Validity: must have a low "pacifism" stat

After a the signing of a treaty, regarded by many nations as "complete bullshit" and "did the @@DEMONYM@@ government really sign this," several nations around @@REGION@@ have begun to impose sanctions on @@NAME@@.

[option]"Trade sanctions, huh? We'll show 'em!" says @@RANDOMNAMEMALE@@, your military advisor, "That treaty was perfectly fair! Never mind that [help please]! I say we unleash the crushing power of our military, and MAKE them stop those sanctions!"
[effect] the @@DEMONYM@@ military marches to nations that impose sanctions and begs them to stop

[option]"No, don't you get it?" says @@RANDOMNAME@@, author of the critically acclaimed "Why the Government Doesn't Just Declare War on Everything," "This is why they imposed sanctions! To weaken our military! And I'll bet they're planning more: now that our military is weakened, before you know they'll be marchin' into @@CAPITAL@@! If you look, I think you'll find we have plenty of funds to spare: divert all of our funding from all other departments to keep out the enemy troops! Maybe then they'll see that their sanctions were ineffective and they'll lift them."
[effect] well-trained, well-armed soldiers bravely defend the suffering, increasingly impoverished population of @@CAPITAL@@

[option]"Or maybe you could fess up and admit that what we did was wrong," says @@RANDOMNAME@@, a peace advocate, "They imposed sanctions because they thought our treaty was wrong. Why not just declare that treaty null and void? It would cost billions to our economy, yes, but surely diplomacy is the best way, is it not?"
[effect] the government is a puppet of any nation that imposes sanctions on @@NAME@@

[option]"You're all missing the real problem here," says local farmer @@RANDOMNAME@@, "And that is, why do we rely on these other nations for supplies in the first place? This is a clear example of why we shouldn't. We need to make all products in this country, and ban all foreign imports as liabilities!"
[effect] the increasingly isolationist government ignores sanctions because "we don't need you guys anyway"

draft 2

Name: Sanctions Imposed On @@NAME@@!

Description: what to do about being sanctioned

Validity: must have a high "defense forces" stat

After a the signing of a treaty, regarded by many nations as "complete bullshit" and "did the @@DEMONYM@@ government really sign this," several nations around @@REGION@@ have begun to impose sanctions on @@NAME@@.

[option]"Trade sanctions, huh? We'll show 'em!" says @@RANDOMNAMEMALE@@, your military advisor, "That treaty was perfectly fair! Never mind that we didn't give Maxtopia a say on the matter! I say we unleash the crushing power of our military, and MAKE them stop those sanctions! Divert all of our funding from all other departments to keep out the enemy troops! Maybe then they'll see that their sanctions were ineffective and they'll lift them."

I think you should merge options 1 and 3. As for the [help please] tag, I'd suggest using "it annexes half the countries in @@REGION@@". Also, the macro for a random male name is @@RANDOMNAMEMALE@@, not @@RANDOMMALENAME@@. Another thing, make the validity high "defense forces" instead of low "pacifism". Those stats are opposites, but they are still independent.

Annexing half the nations in @@REGION@@ kinda makes op. 3 seem pointless.

It's only half. They only annexed the ones they weren't trading with.

How about "annexed over 200 nations?" "In [your region]" is bad because 1 in 7 nations is in their own personal region.

That's just notable nations. There's also nations like Bigtopia, Smalltopia, Maxtopia, etc.

Okay, for the record, Maxtopia was an actual nation. Also what's your point?

My point is that the nations you see are only a small minority of the nations in the NS world. They're just the ones that the World Census Beareau takes note of.

As previously stated, I'm not. Six months ago, we were both in the WA; Leppikania was ejected due to a mistake.

Is the same person sitting behind the computer screens of both of you? If so, then I actually find the amazing coincidence in names very funny. If you are both played by the same person, the Leppikania you're using a puppet, and quite frankly I'm a little bit weirded out by your extensive conversation....
This nation is modeled on being my absolute worst dystopia imaginable. In no way do the Annihilators reflect my opinions, in fact I am totally against almost every single policy they enact.
I support insanely high tax rates, do you?

I honestly really like to write issues.

Nope, and good luck in the issues examination room (secretive)!
In solidarity with Ukraine, I will be censoring the letters Z and V from my signature. This is -ery much so a big change, but it should be a -ery positi-e one. -olodymyr -elensky and A-o- continue to fight for Ukraine while the Russians are still trying to e-entually make their way to Kharki-, -apori-h-hia, and Kry-yi Rih, but that will take time as they are concentrated in areas like Bakhmut, -uledar, and other areas in Donetsk. We will see Shakhtar play in the Europa League but Dynamo Kyi- already got eliminated. Shakhtar managed to play well against Florentino Pere-'s Real Madrid who feature superstars like -inicius, Ben-ema, Car-ajal, and -al-erde. Some prominent Ukrainian players that got big transfers elsewhere include Oleksander -inchenko, Illya -abarnyi, and Mykhailo Mudryk.
