2014-The Real World OOC/Signups [Open]

[Imperium Nova]

Also, the US simply sent people there, apparently not waiting for those governments response or establishing contact with them beforehand.

[The New Greek Republic]

Nigeria's southern region is actually quite stable, the only real issue is the militants.

Also, you forgot Mali!

Otherwise, you are right in that it will be difficult to centralize Africa, but it is possible.

Well, if you really want me to rant more..

I was just making sure he didn't just say he went there and say he was successful that's all.

So, Does the History to June 2014, Mean like History from Now to june?

Give a very brief history from before the 21st century, then give an overview of the past decade or so, and then if there has been any major changed from April 1st on, state them.

Seeing as they are NPCs, and it is a diplomatic delegation I don't see a problem with them. Also you don't 'establish contact' with a nation you have an embassy with

[Winovia]

Nation Name: The Republic of India
Head of State: Pranab Mukherjee
Head of Government Narendra Modi

Government Form: Federal parliamentary constitutional republic
Ideology: Democracy, Hindu/Indian Nationalism, federalism
Foreign Policy: Non-Aligned Movement, balances cordial ties with the West and Russia
Civil Freedoms /10: 7
Political Freedoms /10: 8
Economic Freedoms /10: 7

Military Size: 1,325,000 (active) 2,142,821 (reserve)
Military Description: Mostly Late-Post Cold War (1990s) tech with upgrades, though a lot of newer weaponry has been brought out to replace the old ones.
Organizations: None (If y'all have any suggestions for this, I'd be willing to hear them)

Description of Your Nation's Economy: India was nominally a protectionist, semi-socialist economy. However, economic crises have moved the Indian economy to push for a more liberal, free-trade oriented economy. GDP per capita is low, and income inequality is high.
Description of Your Nation's Government: The government is traditionally headed by the President of India. However, most of the powers granted to the President are, in fact, headed by the Prime Minister of India. The President holds comparatively little power compared to the Prime Minister. Many provinces are administered through their own governments, thus creating a federal system.
Small History of your nation till June 2014: India has continued claiming neutrality in regards to the Crimean crisis. It has repeatedly refused the US' sanctions. In May of 2014, Modi was elected Prime Minister as a reform candidate. Internationally, Modi has stirred up some controversy with his vehement anti-Muslim and anti-Pakistan stance. However, Modi's party still has no majority.
Goals for the Nation: Begin economic and government reform, continue building a military umbrella in the Indian Ocean, negotiate with China on land disputes, improve foreign relations overall, into spes.
Why'd you choose this nation? It's a major world power that can hold its own against many nations, making it sorta in its own power bloc.

Someone needs to get an answer from an NPC? (just noticed the talks about NPC actions so..)

Yeah because I definitely would have posted that fixed Africa by sending small delegations to talk to their governments,

Looks good, I'd move political freedoms down to a 6 due to high corruption and the fact that the congress party has huge influence around India.
Also in recent years India has been a bit more pro-western, although the US diplomat row stalled that.

could you flesh out your goals a bit more?

I was already accepted, but I'll flesh them out more (I don't know what this means)

Yeah, but still like, contacting them about it beforehand.

Yeah I posted before I saw the acceptance. By flesh out I mean go into more detail about your goals and intentions for India.

[Kryskov]

Not sure how to get more specific. More ideally, remain fairly neutral, back the UN, and stop government corruption. Provide alternative power areas to India, Resolve current territorial disputes with China, pretty much assert hegemony over the Indian Ocean, generally discredit the INC in some areas.

Okay, as for hegemony over Indian ocean, personally I don't think that is realistic considering the vastness of it, however I do believe if you can manage to exert more influence over Sri Lanka and the Maldives, and get a strong Blue Water Navy (US is probably your best bet for that), then you could potentially become the Naval power of the East.

All things considered, has my stamp of approval Welcome to The Real World.

My bad, it was a poor wording choice on my part. Consider it like this:
"India is Sri Lanka's only neighbour, separated by the Palk Strait; both nations occupy a strategic position in South Asia and have sought to build a common security umbrella in the Indian Ocean."

FYI, Moldova is landlocked. I doubt Romania will let you transport troops through it to Moldova.. (Which Romania wants)

Is this regarding the Russian post? If so,
1. Russia already has troops in Transinistria, since the civil war of the 90s.
2. Russia and Romania are coming to agreement over these things.

I know they have troops in it already, but I doubt Romania would allow you to transport more troops through the country to an area that they view as part of Romania. Cn you link me to where they were sorting this out?

Here's my Roleplay sample, it's pretty awful. Unfortunately however, i seem to do better when controlling a person then documenting a city.

I guess I'll throw in my UNSC nominations in the tank,

The Islamic Republic of Iran

The Philippines

Russian Troops in Romania may make my intentions a bit too obvious. Maybe after I leave the EU, and maybe NATO.

Well, Romania approached Russia about the whole Moldavia issue. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=290352&p=19508997&hilit=romania+today#p19508997

Also, regarding a possible military presence there, how does Russia reinforce the people there now? I mean, some must retire, quit or go home, and then they need to be more soldiers there, so I guess they get there somehow.

Yeah, and I don't plan on putting troops there either. Russia for the moment has around 2 000 soldiers in Transinistria, and that won't be expanded by a lot if anything comes around.

Ah. didnt notice that Romania was active in this RP.

And by I mean transporting troops, I mean suddenly transporting more arms and troops through the country. (Plus I assume some were transported through Ukraine.)
