MNIV: Modern Nations 2015 [OOC, OPEN]

[The Grand Republic of Hannover]

So China I have implemented Laissez-faire in my country. I guess that was a good idea because I don't know too much about economics.

Nope, change that, I think it will harm you. By abruptly changing the economy that way you would send a shock throughout the country and could cause a harsh recession. Also, it could lower your standards of living and "make the poor poorer and the rich, richer" which would be unpopular among people in Serbia (yep, because some want Yugoslavia back because of the good standards of living that they had). A system like the one you want to implement would not work in your country as of right now.

I would advise you to create a mixed-market capitalism. Increase the ease of making business: lower taxes and paperwork. That will attract more investors. Also, open up your country to more companies that pledge to improve your country: investing in infrastructure, etc. Open an international bank that becomes attractive to rich people (similar to a Swiss bank), that would pour additional wealth into your country and help you grow even faster. Take a look at Luxembourg, their financial system is doing really well.

4th of January

The government of Montenegro decides to put more money into affected areas from the past war with Albania. Also they put more money into funding public education and start setting up public schools in rural areas and areas affected by the past war. They also have decided to lower taxes and loose a lot of the paperwork it takes to start a business so then it is easier for small businesses to survive in Montenegro.

How does this look.

[Nuverikstan]

Australia I checked Montenegro is not that bad off and Americas unemployment is between 9 and 11 percent.

[Galter Gulcher]

Do what I did and lower your corporate tax rate, it will get company's to outsource jobs to you as well as people will be more interested in starting a business.

[Nuverikstan]

inflation is 3.1 and unemployment is less then 5%.

[Galter Gulcher]

Were did you get those numbers from, how, in what way.

You cant just pull numbers out of your ass like that.

It was a website that ranks nations on different things don't remember the website but that is the numbers they have. So I don't know where you get your Montenegro is a third world country numbers but we are fine.

That's good. Australia is right too. Lower corporate taxes so companies go there. Also, add this "They also have decided to lower corporate taxes, loose restrictions to invest, and reduce the bureaucratic red-tape that slows down the establishment of businesses. This way, more small businesses will be opened and can survive, corporations will expand, and foreign investment will be attracted in large quantities." -> Editions to the second line.

Search if your country has already a commercial port and if yes, look for the biggest one. You can RP that you are investing in improving it and expanding it. That way, the products that come from the East to Europe (in this case the Balkans and part of Eastern Europe), through the Suez canal arrive in your port. That would increase the wealth of your nation. Make sure though that you declare the place where the port is, a "Foreign Trade Zone" -> That means no tariffs on imports or exports in the zone, and low taxes. That will lower you immediate income of tariffs, but the trade and the industry that will develop there, will pay off and even give you more revenue. Examples in RL? Elizabeth, NJ; some Chinese ports; etc.

Hmm, I have just been reminded that I should proably keep Egypt, Britain and Morrocco IN.

If Monternego does recreate the Yugoslav, they will be upgraded to OUT.

Full nation name: Greater Korean Republic*
Leader: Park Geun-hye
Territory: Korean Peninsula
RP Example: Swedish Empire in the 1800s
History (years 2013-2015):

The tense situation with North Korea following the stern threats of Kim Jong-un regarding nuclear armament and increased hostility towards the U.S. in early 2013 set the stage Reunification, through relatively peaceful means. Peaceful isn't the word, but less bloodshed than what the world imagined. On December 1st, the High Command of the Korean Peoples' Army, launched a coup against Kim Jung-un. See, the escalating tensions with the U.S. started earlier in the year was a ploy to cement the new rulers' power and assert himself as a powerful successor to his father and grandfather. While this did accomplish his goal of assuming total power, it alienated major military members. Some were on Jong-un's side, yes, but they too were included in a coordinated strike that occurred in the hours (and some in days) following the coup.

The Republic of Korea mobilized its forces as the December Crisis reached its high water mark. Naval Forces reported contact with North Korean vessels, but, a strange mood was over them. See, North Koreans would simply shell an island and give a few middle fingers to the South and Westerners, but these personnel seemed gloomy and stern. They approached the American-South Korean Naval Forces with a white flag flying, and signalled peace. These seamen were defectors, and they carried many North Korean refugees with them. The United States prepared to launch a limited strike option, but was resisted and rebuffed by China and Russia. Then, on Christmas Day, December 25th, The Kim Il-Sung Revolutionary Council for the Democratic Peoples' Republic (as the jeesh of Generals likened themselves) issued a death sentence to Kim Jung-un for charges of treason, not advancing the Revolution of Kim Il-sung, and a myriad of other offenses that seem a bit strange. The people of the North did not know how to react, but, the following day, Kim Jung-un was publicly hanged in Pyongyang in front of Chinese and Russian news networks. Hours afterwords, the people of North Korea took to the streets, finally prompted into action. Some were finally able to speak their minds after so many long years, and the youth of the nation wished to open the borders to let the world see what the Democratic Peoples' Republic truly was like. December 27th, the Revolutionary Council did that just that - and the Hermit Kingdom was no more.

The flood of publicity, journalists, and most of all, aid, was incredible. The situation in which the people lived however, was atrocious. The people lived in true abysmal conditions, and that was only a little above their system of work camps and, to the fears of Western media, their death camps. Unbeknownst to most of the diplomatic cables and major powers, South Korean officials had been in contact with the Revolutionary Council to secure a planned reunification. With assurances of cozy positions in the Military and Political workings of the unified republic, most had accepted the offer, save for the Council's leader, Jang Jong-nam. Fearing that he would stall the process of reunification, South Korea sent the 707th Special Mission Battalion (codename: White Tiger) to eliminate Jang in Pyongyang. The time between December 28th and January 1st created one of the largest shifts in political weight in Northeast Asia as White Tiger successfully assassinated Jang Jong-nam in a public setting, in which they were quickly identified yet managed to escape apprehension. Done without US knowledge or authorization, relations between the South and the US soured immensely. However, the Revolutionary Council met briefly, elected an interim Chairman, and issued the Sunshine Declaration, authorizing the ROK Military, in conjunction with the Korean Peoples' Army, to fully occupy the territory of North Korea under terms of a "Specialized State of Emergency", which spelled out nothing short of annexation.

And so, at the arrival of the New Year, a new nation had joined the ranks of the world, or rather, rejoined. South Korea pursued a policy of integration and the politically charged "de-Kiminization" of the North, while renaming the nation the Greater Korean Republic. Boasting a population of 74,773,669 and a GDP (PPP) of 1.706 trillion, the nation was in a strong position economically and politically, but the dense militarization of both North and South produced a massive military force that the best of both sides of the Cold War, in that the North possessed massive arms production capabilities and many less-than-best equipment pieces while the South possessed technologically adept and advanced pieces. With over 1.86 million active soldiers and at least 11.4 million Reserve Forces, the initial Military of the Greater Korean Republic was the largest of any nation in the world and was as large as the next 3 largest (Vietnam, China, and India) combined in total personnel. Of course this would be downsized to a manageable number, the sheer amount of offensive capability of the combined nations was in impressive.

Through 2014, South Korean capital poured into the North while the Norths' raw resources poured down to the industrial south. The Greater Korean Republic was developing the vast mountainous terrain while making use of the underground military complexes of the North to establish a strong presence in Northeast Asia. North Korea was rapidly catching up to the modern world in nearly all fields while the total economy of the Greater Korean Republic soared, breaking into the top ten largest economies. Though all this good seems to have come, it may take decades for the scars of division to heal, and what seems to be a large remnant of the North Koreans in Russia and China (which stands in the way of increased relations), as well as damaged relations with the U.S. has left the unified republic in a rather precarious situation with regard to it's alignment and allies. The first year since reunification has been a wonderful ride, but the path ahead is becoming blurry.

Anything else: Hitler only had one testicle. Totally ripping the name of my nation from Homefront, though

What do you mean are you saying Yugoslavia will put Egypt, England, and Morocco out of great status or something else.

Since I mentioned the Suez canal as a factor that would help you, in my other post (which it seems you didn't read ), Australia sees the importance of keeping those countries close to him.

And by "OUT", he meant the list he has of prime targets, which currently China is the only one in it.

I sent a telegram to the guy who was being Egypt he said he wouldn't give me Egypt but would let me trade through it. And with no one in control of Egypt Australia can't manipulate it.

[Nuverikstan]

Also don't you see China you need to invade him or missile strike him or something so he is just a worthless island.

[Neros]

Seems like you guys have it just about figured out. I hope I'm not a monkey wrench, currently.

[The Grand Republic of Hannover]

I can't do that Although Australia feels very "adult" right now, if I attack him, his dad (U.K.) will most likely help and NATO could intervene (which wouldn't be good). But it could work the other way around too. If he attacks me, NATO would not intervene, nor the U.K., so it would be him against moi. So the result: standoff.

[Nuverikstan]

Seems like you guys have it just about figured out. I hope I'm not a monkey wrench, currently.

If you can keep Australia off my back you would be a great help. Or at least be a stick in his side because he feels like he can control the worlds trade which China is holding back but I can strike the final blow. Ok not the final blow but can hurt him. I am asking if Turkey will ally with me so if he does we can build a pipe from Qatar to Montenegro and make even more money.

Remember he left the UK's commonwealth and Australia isn't in NATO right? Also doesn't matter you have Russia so they wouldn't fight you 2 together. Australia would fall and once NATO or the UK gets there it would be pointless.

[Nuverikstan]

Ok well I am going to bed no attacking me during the night Australia when i can't defend myself. (that goes for Tony too)

Russia will not help me. A competition is rising to see who will be the protector of (and benefit from) the former Soviet Socialist Republics, especially the ones in Central Asia.

Wonderful. I need to start demilitarizing and such, fuckin' Koreans have large armies by themselves and together it's just a flustercuck. Not to mention I'll have to standardize forces because of the incompatibility in operational doctrines of the North and South, not to mention the equipment and technology difference.

...And then there's the Nuclear Weapons. So much politics!

A Post-Balkan War state vs the continent Australia? Righto! Australia has dem mineralz, so I don't know how I feel about harming my international trade without incentives.

The Balkans has many good thinks like natural resources . Also if we form Yugoslavia we can comtrol trade from China into Europe because we are their only influence in Europe. So with that we could ally and you get some resources and an ally in Europe.
