Does your nation have any obvious defense flaws?: Oh yes. The Dominion consists of over 3000 tribal states, and has no unified military system.
Could your nation survive an alien invasion?: No.
Is anyone in your nation disloyal enough to betray their own species?:Yes. There are many upstart Chieftains and Herd-Kings who would be glad to score a deal with another species.
Is there any secret weakness of your nation that could be exploited and let your nation be conquered?: No. None of our weaknesses are secret. They're pretty obvious.
What is the best strategy to use when conquering your nation?: Use paratroopers, for the dominion has no major road system and is twice the size of Australia.

Does your nation have any obvious defense flaws?: Our land defense is... relatively lukewarm. We mainly focus on the air force.
Could your nation survive an alien invasion?: Yes, without a doubt. Half of the money we collect is used for space weaponry and we have lots of space stuff... lots.
Is anyone in your nation disloyal enough to betray their own species?: No, no one in Iquasia knows anything different from what the regime tells them.
Is there any secret weakness of your nation that could be exploited and let your nation be conquered?: Hmm.... media filtering through the outside world could destroy us.
What is the best strategy to use when conquering your nation?: Using our extremely advanced orbital lasers is an effective way the vaporize anyone who opposes us.

Does your nation have any obvious defense flaws?: The Federation Armed Forces ground vehicles work best on flat, lowland terrain. All well and good, except the interior half of my nation is mountainous tundra; but no nation can conquer -that- far into Wantsum... right?

Could your nation survive an alien invasion?: No.

Is anyone in your nation disloyal enough to betray their own species?: Species? Not that the government is aware of.

Is there any secret weakness of your nation that could be exploited and let your nation be conquered?: Nope.

What is the best strategy to use when conquering your nation?: Considering my nation has -very- extensive borders, with all the key population centres as well as the capital practically lying on the edges of the country; a swift attack on the capital and southern states would disrupt the majority of Wantsum.

My nation is a representative democracy that grants a high level of personal freedoms, so is quite vulnerable to terrorists/spies/saboteurs. Militarily, conquering (invading and taking over) my nation would be nearly impossible to any nation that uses current/modern/slightly futuristic technology as my nation cannot be badly crippled by embargo/trade disruption, has only a very small shared land border with any other nations, is mostly surrounded by large oceans, has a fairly large military, including an excellent navy, and has an extensive nuclear stockpile. As far as surviving an alien invasion, it really depends on the technology, tactics, and force size of the invaders (Hollywood space war movies aside, any civilization that can master interplanetary travel should have no problem defeating any nation or group of nations that have modern/slightly futuristic technology since it would be the equivalent of armies of 500BC greek hoplites trying to fight main battle tanks and helicopter gunships.).

Basically, Charlotte Ryberg has been on a decline since Minoa's secession. Minoa is gradually working towards improving the economy and human rights, while we continue to be bound by some of the most questionable WA legislation. The uncertainty gives Minoa the advantage to overtake us in regards to the economy and human rights in the long term, but we hope that the passage of Defense of Self and Others could signal a turnaround.

The males in the country are so weak that if you see them in the battle field with no female near them ( Which is rare,only the Cambelloi Troops are all male and there is only 80 people in each of the 4 groups. ) it is pretty... okay VERY easy to kill them. That's why they are usually seen around the female troops. So see them on the battlefield,don't be fooled. They are VERY weak!

Does your nation have any obvious defense flaws?: Yes. The population is 100% urban. No rural settlements whatsoever, which means that if you conquer one of the hive-cities, there won't be any opposition nearby whatsoever, or any guerilla warfare.
Could your nation survive an alien invasion?: We're freaking aliens that landed and hit the Earth. Of course we could, if they were around the same tech. That being said, it would be costly and a waste of resources. Better to pursue an alliance. If that fails, we could destroy them.
Is anyone in your nation disloyal enough to betray their own species?: Sure. A decent amount of the soldiers are really disloyal, unluckily. They could be bribed with very large amounts of money. Other than that, no.
Is there any secret weakness of your nation that could be exploited and let your nation be conquered?: Yes. The Colonies of Ende have one government that controls them all, but twelve different clans. Each clan has its own rules, laws, and agendas. If you can destroy the main government through spies, assassins, and the like, you could easily turn the clans against each other. Once you do this, you could then move in after they are done fighting and take over.
What is the best strategy to use when conquering your nation?: Probably shell or use a WMD on a mass population center, killing off most of the leaders. Without a head, the snake cannot survive. The nation would split into several factions, all against each other. After that, just move in with a large amount of soldiers. HOWEVER, you would face guerilla warfare for YEARS and YEARS and YEARS. Not to mention due to telepathy, it would be ridiculously hard to catch terrorists, which would be incredibly organized and equipped. Not a great idea. Thus, a simpler way to do it would be merely to pretend to be "allies", kill the main government in a "tragic accident" along with several other leaders, and then put your own bribed puppets in power. Simple, quick, and easy. The government is surprisingly lacking in security. The military, on the other hand, is not. Taking control of the military-next to impossible. Taking control of the governments? If you take out the main one, it's a piece of cake from there.

Could your nation survive an alien invasion?: That depends. Are they invading without commiting genocide, or do they have the intention to kill everyone? Because we are excellent negotiators.

Is anyone in your nation disloyal enough to betray their own species?: Humans are humans, despite our indoctrination.
Is there any secret weakness of your nation that could be exploited and let your nation be conquered?: Tendency to fall apart if the chain-of-command is knocked out.

Only in our two colonies, New Mainland and New Springs. As they are fairly new colonies, defense isn't as high as it should be.

Could your nation survive an alien invasion?

Many of the politicians would, as they would undoubtedly trade in the citizens' lives for their own if the aliens would spare them.

Is there anyone in your nation disloyal enough to betray their own species?

Answer above.

Is there any secret weakness of your nation that could be exploited and let your nation be conquered?

The politicians and military generals, though stubborn not exactly willing to accept defeat, would ally wth the invading force if all hope is lost.
