Does your nation have any obvious defence flaws?: Natural geography made the nation pretty cold on average. Not the best for long term campaigns for either side. We'll have the advantage, but you know what the Russian winters did to Napoleon, Hitler and the Russian defenders? kinda like that
Could your nation survive an alien invasion?: Probably. The world under us will act as one
Is anyone in your nation disloyal enough to betray their own species?: do you know how many terrorist organizations we have to deal with a year? The Empire Remnants, The Extremist Cults, etc
Is there any secret weakness of your nation that could be exploited and let your nation be conquered?: Lose the Honour Guard and the Royal Guard and you get the picture
What is the best strategy to use when conquering your nation?: Have superior numbers? Quality isn't always better than quantity

Try to invade us and find out for yourselves. There's a reason that the entirety of Scandinavia fights under our flag.

Could your nation survive an alien invasion?:


That would depend on the biology and relative technological advancement of the aliens in question. If we're talking about mass infection by interplanetary bacteria, we could probably get that contained in 48-72 hours. If we're talking about engaging little green men with lasers and flying saucers it would probably take years to get the situation completely under control. If we're talking about a species which is capable of violating the laws of chemistry and physics, we'd probably all die (but take as many of you with us as we could).

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


We don't even have people in our nation which would fight against it alongside members of our own species. You really think some interplanetary invader is going to be able to convince anyone to join up? We're very, very tightly-knit.

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


None that we would talk about, but I will pass a warning: we joined the European Union. You would not be fighting us alone, but rather the greater bulk of a continent. And since we've got good relations with the United States...well...you'd basically be ending up fighting the entire developed world (plus anyone else we convinced to come along for the ride).

What is the best strategy to use when conquering your nation?:


Don't. The last army to try to invade our borders was the Wehrmacht, and it didn't end well for them. The last people to try to invade Finland (one of our closest allies) was the Soviet Union, and together we drove back a military more than twice our collective sizes. Our standing military is small, but you really ought to consider every single adult citizen to be armed and militarily trained (because they are both).

We have one bridge to the mainland. That's probably the main weakness.
According to the French Republican calender today would be La Fête des Récompenses, the 5th leap-day of the year 219 tagged on to the end of the month Fructidore at the end of the 36th décade, or 10 day week, and tomorrow would be the Primidi of Vendémiaire.
They got it wrong the French... crazy bastards.
They may know one end of a grape from the other, but when it comes to calenders... they're barking up the wrong burglar.

Does your nation have any obvious defence flaws?

Official response: The United Arab Republic is more than able, and willing, to defend itself against invasion. To the best of my knowledge, our defence force is in no way defective.

Note secretly slipped into diplomatic pouch: If you want the real answer to that question, you're going to have to pay me well!

Could your nation survive an alien invasion?

Official response: The United Arab Republic has taken no stance on the possibility of extraterrestrial invasion as we feel such an event to be unlikely in the extreme.

Note secretly slipped into diplomatic pouch: Of course, if you have that kind of technology, we would be quite easy to subjugate. I would be more than willing to collaborate...

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

Official response: Of course not! The loyalty of our citizens to their nation and species can never be doubted!

Note secretly slipped into diplomatic pouch: I do believe my last reply adequately answers this question. ;)

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

Official response: Every nation has secret weaknesses. They are secret for a reason.

Note secretly slipped into diplomatic pouch: Wealth and power (handed to me, of course) are the key to such secrets.

What is the best strategy to use when conquering your nation?

Official response: We would never answer such a question.

Note secretly slipped into diplomatic pouch: If you want to conquer us, I'm your man!

Does your nation have any obvious defense flaws?:
Our main air force is highly flammable and our guns are powered by steam. Next question.
Could your nation survive an alien invasion?:
Not at all. See above.
Is anyone in your nation disloyal enough to betray their own species?:
Only the leader.
Is there any secret weakness of your nation that could be exploited and let your nation be conquered?:
Definitely. Shoot off our traction treads and we can't move. Dig a huge pit and we'll fall into it. Also, see #1.
What is the best strategy to use when conquering your nation?:
Flamethrower vs. Airship Force = Immediate conquering. Unless we roll over you.

Does your nation have any obvious defense flaws?: No.
Could your nation survive an alien invasion?: You mean, like, little green men from outer space? N/A. I don't do sci-fi.
Is anyone in your nation disloyal enough to betray their own country?: Perhaps. They're probably too scared of the government to do so, though.
Is there any secret weakness of your nation that could be exploited and let your nation be conquered?: Not that I am aware of.
What is the best strategy to use when conquering your nation?: Use a bigger army to overwhelm us; we have a very small population compared to a lot of other nations.
