How would your nation react to current real life events?

[Republic of South Carolina]

ISIS/ISIL: CAS/DAS for the Iraqi Armed Forces and re-invade if that does not work. Help Iraqi Kurdistan obtain independence. Re-equip the Kurdistan Pêşmerge and help fund them.
Ukrainian Crisis: Boots on the ground in Ukraine, Poland and the Baltic States. Full sanctions on Russia. Re-equip the Ukrainian Armed Forces/National Guard along with helping fund them. Deploy SRBM and IMRBM's in Eastern Europe.
Syrian Civil War: Sanctions. Strategic bombing campaigns/possible Invasion. Deployments into the Kurdish controlled Regions to help protect the people and the assets held by them. Let them decide if they want to join the Iraqi Kurdistan or become their own Independent Kurdish State.
Make both Iraqi and Syrian Kurdistan Protectorates of the RSC until they decide want to integrate into each other or go their separate ways. Negotiate the possibility of building Defense Force Ground Force and Air Force Bases in Kurdistan or the Kurdistans
2014 World Cup: The Republic of South Carolina does not really care about Soccer.

[Nekronia]

Ukraine: Support Russia, and perhaps sell weapons to pro-Russian rebels at a major discount. Let them destroy their own turf and give us support from our most likely ally, Russia.
World Cup 2014: Ignore entirely
Iraqi Militants: Try to take advantage of the situation and sell weapons to both sides that would likely end with both sides taking extremely heavy losses, sowing disrespect for both sides while Nekronia makes a killing (hawhaw) on the sales. Give discounts (and maybe training) to whichever side is more aligned with (See: willing to obey) Nekronia.
Syrian Civil War & other unstable countries: See above.

Nekronia would basically start Cold War II, or WWIII depending on how well/poorly the world reacts. Nekronia being extremely efficient at the cost of basic human rights would cause large amounts of condemning by the UN, and Nekronia could very well start crashing economies with little effect on itself due to its sheer size and efficiency. A country several times the size of China with a way-higher GDP/capita than China? Instant superpower. Nekronia would likely create large-scale bunker systems and other items that would allow itself to survive a nuclear war, thus removing MAD for Nekronia while at the same time keeping America and other nations on their toes. Nekronia has only a handful of nuclear weapons, but endless chemical, radiological, and biological weapons that would be similarly destructive and likely be worse for nations that aren't as authoritarian and organized as Nekronia.

*puffs cigar* It's good to be king.

[Bashria]

Send money to ISIS, purchase weapons from North Korea, sell said weapons to ISIS.

[California Peoples Republic]

Syria: Would sanction the government, that's all
ISIS: Would not get involved. Selling weapons and planes to Iraq only to see them taken by the Islamists isn't really a good idea.
Ukrainian Crisis: Would support Russian annexation of Crimea and the Federal State of Novorossiya. We support the right to self determination.
2014 World Cup: Since California recently seceded, we do not have a football team... yet.

[Luziyca]

Pro-American stances, in general, but without the ideological wrangling.

[Medwedian Democratic Federation]

Medwedia would assist Russia in conquering the half of Ukraine that is wanted (but of course also claim a part itself) and then intervene in the middle east to set up colonies.

[Parhe]

I like this thread. It isn't limited to particular events and allows nations to do "What If's" that each individually may not be allowed as threads.

Well, we would be pretty sad we didn't make it to the World Cup :< I consider that an important issue >.>

If Parhe was on Earth I imagined it to be around Korea/Japan but to keep with real geography I suppose Parhe would mainly be right to the right of Japan in the Pacific stretching from north [just east of the Kamchatka Peninsula] to south [east of the northern half of Luzon]. The Silver Islands being right southeast of Russia's Wrangel Islands and the Hyokoe Islands are just east of Mindanao [Both of these island groups are pretty far from the main Palhan Archipelago]. Parhe would be alarmed by the new militant stance of its neighbor Japan [Speaking IC. OOC I know Japan isn't being that bad and is somewhat logical] and work together with the smaller nations in the region such as South Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan, and the Philippines in the hopes of resolving the disputes in favor of the weaker powers. Seeing as relations with Russia are chilly and trade is nearly nonexistent Parhe would take a harder stance on the annexation, preventing Russian ships and aircraft as well as any heading for Russia from entering Parhic airspace and waters. Effectively that would mean Russia would have to sail through Japanese and/or South Korean waters to make use of the Pacific ports. Parhe doesn't have the will to get involved though outside of regional affairs.

[Peoples Federations of nirn]

Supporting the zapatista people against the horrific actions of the mexican state

The probable condemnation of brazil and the world cup for the terrible conditions they have wrought on the people

Support for left wing and antifascist parties

[New Euthenia]

Regarding military situations, we would put ourselves into ASL 3 (Alert State Level 3), which means a war and/or attack is a strong possibility. If we are on ASL 3, the government would have to spend more money on defense, safety and security just in case a war breaks out. Other than that, we would not react to any territorial claims, although we are willing to trade with any nations of any ideology.

New Euthenia has not made it through the 2014 World Cup, but we are participating the 2014 Youth Olympics which will be held in Nanjing, China and in the 2016 Summer Olympics which will be held in Rio de Janeiro.

Festivals dedicated for Fathers (and Father's Day) will be held in the major cities of New Euthenia. We would put ourselves into ASL 4, which means a war and/or attack is highly unlikely though we would still spend more money on military than usual.

[Mefpan]

In response to the current Ukraine crisis, Mefpan would just swoop in and annex Russia outright.
And anyone who objects to the annexation.

In response to the awful conduct of the Brazilian government in the prelude to the world cup...well, surprise Anschluss.

To deal with the Syrian crisis, jump in and depose Assad. No matter whether or not he would've beneficial as mostly secular dictator in charge of it, there's no way he can go back to ruling the nation - his power base is far too eroded for that to work.

In Iraq, the air would probably find itself filled with drones. Same with the ground.

As for the Free Trade Agreement the U.S. and the EU are breeding at the moment, Mefpan might raise a naval blockade. Successfully.

But eventually, everything is a pretext for a surprise Anschluss.

[Yellow Zone 20-A]

Send Black Hand forces to fight ISIS in Iraq.

[Davao and Mati]

We will be just like Switzerland, highly militarized in order to protect our precious neutrality

[Qorchelia]

Threaten Santions on Russia.

[Desmendura]

We're not concerned with any of it.

[Republic of Astana]

We would send huge military stuff to the middle east for help, other then that we wouldn't give a shit about anything else.

[The Guardians of Oa]

We're too busy worrying about the fate of the universe to care about some dreary backwater.

[Yellow Zone 20-A]

We're too busy worrying about the fate of the universe to care about some dreary backwater.

Aka dont care.....

[Gristol-Serkonos]

Which real-life event?

-A random citizen

---

Should the Sovereign Empire be a nation outside this fictional reality the questioner is purporting, it would immediately annex send troops Crimea, support Ukrainian troops and mount an offensive in the Russian Federation.

Since this is not real, the Empire has little interests in fictional matters.

[Imperium Sidhicum]

Provoke a world war and when the missiles have stopped flying, send in an invasion fleet from space to make quick work of the survivors. And claim this planet as their own, like Sidhae have to so many other worlds.

A few nuclear detonations on Russian and American cities should do the trick. With political tensions high as they are and several major cities obliterated, I doubt either side would be willing to listen when the other side says their radars clearly saw those nukes come from outer space rather than somewhere on Earth.

[Sturmtiger]

Empire state of mind.

[New Austzeland]

ISIS/Iraq crisis: Support the Iraqi government, and provide arms to the Iraqi army if they want it, and provide various means of support to the Iraqi people.

Ukraine crisis: Strained relations with Russia, possibly some sanctions, though deployment of our forces would be unlikely if it happens with other nations.

Syria civil war: Sanctions galore. Again deployment of forces would be unlikely.

2014 World Cup: DEUTSCHLAND!!

[The Tarvosi Federation]

We would ask for a meeting with all the world leaders to try to work things out, because the way things are going our nation will never exist.

[Greater Eurasian Union]

Pro-Russo Chinese stances in General

[Brillnuck]

We would leave the European Union only IF they remained Capitalist.

We would be supporters of Russia, and haters of the US.

We would pull out of the World Cup until FiFA got rid of corruption, and left the Olympics due to commercialisation. We would still be in Wimbledon, and others.

We would be known for our chess superiority.

In the case of Syria, we would remain neutral. We would be allied with NK, and allow immigration programs.

We would be isolationists.

[Oceasia]

Ukraine: Send weapons and troops to help Russia in their "conquest" of Eastern Ukraine.
ISIS: Help the Iraqi government with whatever they need.
Syria: Support the rebels.
Palestine: While Oceasia supports Palestinian independence, Oceasia does not support Hamas. Go diplomatic and advertise the two-state solution everywhere.
