2022: The New Cold War[OOC/Sign-ups/OPEN]

[Altito Asmoro]

Can I apply to join the Mars program? After I kick this sickness.

I don't think that would be a smart idea, both the ARGB and America are on the program so there are two not-so-friendly-to-the-EDF countries on the program. So the EDF joining the program would cause tension.

Personal as the SPR I am neutral to the EDF. America and the ARGB aren't so neutral.

Japan is neutral with EDF, wary with USSR and USA, allied with GAU and SPR, hostile with Korea and China.

[Epraria]

Yes I know I have not done anything that will provoke china that I meant.

You better not, you'd annoy china and the USSR

Do you think I want to annoy china and the USSR?

Can I join?

America replied very positively to my Minsk invitation. (Japan, China, USSR, please reply to that if you haven't). As for GB, I'm going to try to improve relations. Formal apologies, agreements, and such.

Wow, so many of the alliances between countries overlap and people are allied with people who are allied with their enemies. Jeez if a world war ever breaks out, alliances will be tested and there will be so many people involved.

Japan had sent in delegates.

[Bormeatri]

For the people who want to join the Mars program I'm sorry but the spots are filled. It is going to be a 9 person crew, and all 9 seats are taken all ready. What ever happened to the ISS?

[Bormeatri]

Future mars mission are open to other people joining in, but this first mission is filled up already.

[Yanalia]

Perhaps Europe shall form its own program then. Any takers?

No,thanks. I have my own and have three spaceports. Brazil is kind of a Portugal-in-Exile

[Jade Confederacy]

sorry, im a bit busy right now, i'll try to reply as soon as i get time
Ps. since Minsk is the in the USSR, does it mean that i have to host it?

Guess so. I am kind of sad because you didn't invite me.

[The Magnified Union of Aligned Communes]

Apologies for not posting today. Recently re-downloaded 0AD again and am completely squandering my Saturday in its Map Editor watching animated Romans slap Gauls.

[The Magnified Union of Aligned Communes]

Yes because they are rapidely becoming one of the strongest economies and have one of the largest armies and populations in the World.

They are currently in 2013 no where near China in level of development and economic strength. It's at least as corrupt and far less efficient.

Also North Korea has one of the largest armies in the world, doesn't mean anything. Likewise, I'd argue Israel has more military power than Italy, despite having less people.

Right, stats aren't everything. That being said I find this list interesting (guess what's the highest Southeast Asian nation on the list!)

Not sure who's on the ISS, so when I get round to posting tomorrow, I'll be making a brief note that that orbital mission 'made a flyby and communicated with the station', which should be harmless enough. (Also, fun fact: Roscosmos plans to detach Russian segments from the ISS to form this. I wonder what happened to it in this RP?)

[Tabret]

Updated.

...

Can anyone respond to my application?

[Dires]

I basically just said screw you China in the IC by accepting the USA and not China.
This should be interesting, tensions are really heating up in East Asia.

Not to mention that Korea, by secret telegram, has agreed to take the side of the U.S. in any ultimate action. In addition, the U.S. would be eager to crush a new Imperial Japan against Korea, against China....now that would be a different story

Yes...take a look how look how the U.S. spends more than the next 10 largest militaries combined

Side note, how is timing working in the IC?

Alright, first, concerning the claim by the US player that no fighter could combat some of the F class fighters, then please take a look at

And now, onto my application for the Islamic Empire.

Nation you will play: Islamic Empire (Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Pakistan)
Leader: Alex David
Population: 390, 000, 000
Economic Policy: Mixed economic system, promotion of industrialization and services sector, use of plentiful natural resources to promote economic growth
Domestic Policy: Promotion of intellectualism and education, forced education until post-University, intensive infrastructural development and massive defense projects, good research initiatives.
Foreign Policy: Stand with none. Destroy all those who try to attack us.
Miltary Size: 2.5 million and 2.5 million kin reserve.
Nuclear Capable: Yes, some 400 nukes, low yield to promote strategic bombing plans.

Recent History:

2013: Following the fall of numerous regimes in North Africa, a dictator called Abdul-Saleem al Ghazzani comes to power in Libya, restores Libya's military and puts the massive weapon arsenal of Libya into use.

2014: Anarchy ensues in various North african nations, making conquest much easier for Ghazzani's forces. All of North Africa is seized by Ghazzani, and the proclamation of an African Empire follows.

2016: Thousands protest against Ghazzani, repression leads to millions more taking to the streets.

2017: Ghazzani expands into the Middle East with millions of men, utterly annihilating Saudi forces in Jeddah and Dammam.

2018: Incursions into Iran are thwarted by a superior Iranian military force. Iran sees an opportunity to take control of the Middle East, and starts an invasion against Ghazzani's forces.

2019: Rogue Iranian commander, Alex David, deploys tactical nukes at his disposal, destroying concentrations of Iranian and African forces.

2019: Alex David marches unnoposed to Tripoli and seizes control of the Empire. A massive conscript force is raised, and they charge through to Iran. Iran puts up a defense, but the conscripts simply overnumber the Iranian military. Iran falls, and Pakistan falls soon after. Iraq surrenders after threats of invasion *cough France cough*, following an attack on it's only naval base which was believed to be a precursor for an attack.

2020: A 60 million slave force is brought together and were ordered to work on infrastructural development programs and the industrialization of the new empire. The Islamic Empire is hence proclaimed. Mecca is the capital, Medina is second to Mecca in terms of political influence.

2020: Due to the divide between the territories of the empire, rogue pro-Ghazzani forces reclaim several nations in N.A, thus ending Islamic rule.

2021: With a massive army and a massive slave workforce, along with numerous natural resources and an extensive infrastructure and industry, the Islamic Empire has a massive potential. Will it align with a superpower, or will it act on it's own?

Plans:Ensure economic growth and stability, stay out of international conflicts and remain neutral to superpowers.

Updated.

Alex David? a Iranian......and Islamic too? what next is he white?

This is why super powers work on building ballistic missile shields
