2014 - Real World RP (OOC/SIGNUPS/OLD THREAD)

[The New Lowlands]

Saying the EU doesn't benefit Scandinavia isn't political, it's just plain intellectually dishonest.
EU/EEC member states account for over half of Sweden's trade balance, for example. The automatic FTA involved in this obviously benefits them.

Indeed, Germany is a large trading partner for Sweden. However Sweden has not seen a huge rise in standards of living and economy since the entry into the European Union in 1994. 1)Rather the opposite. 2) However, the EEA is a different thing, and Sweden has been a part of it for a long time. I am advocating for a leaving of the European Union, not the European Economic Area.

1) Source on that?
2) The EEA is administered by the EU. You're saying you want to leave the institution that does the decision-making and enter a system that it controls entirely?

[Siaos]

Zeinbrad: Because I realize the ridiculousness of India having colonies in Somalia, and because I don't feel like going through the pain of dealing with terrorists constantly attacking me, would you like to work out a deal for peace?

Did my condemnation work?

Calling me an arse? Well, I knew I was being an arse, its rather fun turning the leader of nations into ego-centric imperialists, but I admit it is ridiculous to attack Somalia.

The lack fo a rise in standards of living isn't something you can blame the EU on. Ditto the economy.

Just the same that it is ridiculous that Mexico attack Ecuador or something

But the only reason I united the warlords was because of your invasion, it was not in my plans to unite them peacefully.

Yeah, but someone just called that out as godmodding, and it wouldn't be fair to completely overwhelm Somalia (Assuming that it really is godmodding, and therefore invalid. If its not then I probably wouldn't completely overwhelm you). Either way, I'm not going to completely take your land if I win, I just want the drilling rights and some naval bases. It wouldn't be fun if I were to wipe you out unfairly.

But then you can not thank the European Union for any economic growth either.

Waz what do you say about me uniting the Somalian warlords?

Also, Thrasher will attack your naval bases and troops.

My point on that warlords stuff, is that there called Warlords for a reason. They don't just unite with each other, same like two Mafia's don't just unite with each other. That is my say.

[Imperium Nova]

Also, I personally stand behind a unified Europe, however not in it's current form, as I would rather see it's splintering for the moment, however I hope that one day it will be unified in a big glorious nation. So I am both pro-EU and anti-EU.

It was more of a temporary alliance, I should of made that more clear.

But without the Indian invasion, I'll remove it.

We should have some type of official treaty however, otherwise all that stuff I posted earlier will make no sense.

Sure.

Now, I'm going to do some gunboat diplomacy here and suggest this:
The WLF allows India to build two naval bases in Boosaaso and Bandarbeyla in exchange for money and peace

[The Grand Republic of Hannover]

My first IC post will be up in the next few hours.

[Zeinbrad]

Sure.

Now, I'm going to do some gunboat diplomacy here and suggest this:

Sounds like a plan.
