1992: The Modern Scenario (AH, OOC/FINISHED)

[Lunas Legion]

It's kind of funny since China would never side with Turkey since they're pro-US, or being backed by the US ATM. Therefore the logical thing for China to do if it wants to restrict US influence is support Iran.

Can I get a quick update on all that has happened thus far?

They are arguing over oil again and using morality of the war and human rights as a cover for what they really want. Just like in real life.

[Novacom]

Summarise? aye sure.

Written Diarrhea.

Intractable Pointless Arguments

Lack of Common Sense

that and most of the people the last few pages pretty much doing this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRwXrcz-F9M I'll let you decide who is which puppet.

Pretty much sums up all of it

[Freeland Tibet]

Head of State: Eamon O'Donnell
Head of Government: Eamon O'Donnell
Flag:

Claims: Ireland
Capital City: Dublin

Government Form: Unitary State
Ideology: Irish Republicanism, Nationalism
Foreign Policy: Ireland remains neutral in most matters internationally. It maintains a solid relationship primarily with Western-European nations, with the exception of Britain, which remains a steadfast rival of Ireland. As per the inauguration of the Provisional government, Ireland has warmed up increasingly to Eastern nations, seeking to further antagonize the British.
Domestic Policy: Domestically Ireland seeks to establish stability and prosperity among all Irish people. Civil liberties are promised, and economic freedom is high. Government-controlled militias have ramped up efforts to rid the nation of leftist, and British-sympathetic elements. The former Irish Republican Army remains active, however considering the fact the majority of its leaders are currently on the Provisional Government Council, it serves as a wing to exert their personal interests.
Civil Freedoms /10: 8
Political Freedoms /10: 5 (for now, as per the transition of power)
Economic Freedoms /10: 9

Military Size: 39,560 Active, 23,455 Paramilitary
Military Description: Due to friendly relations with most Western nations, Ireland retains a fairly modernized albeit disorganized military. The military is fairly disciplined, however with recent unrest that led to the current provisional govt, discipline and morale have hit new lows.
Strengths and Weaknesses: Excellent ground-force capabilities, ruthless paramilitary force, fairly modernized technology. Poor organization, low morale, increased defection, navy is neglected, average air-force.
Law Enforcement: Irish Federal Inspector Department is the national department, primarily dealing with major crimes crossing county lines. Various smaller local agencies exist throughout Ireland.
Intelligence agencies(Domestic and Foreign): Irish Republican Army maintains an extensive domestic intelligence network amongst the numerous classes of people throughout the nation. The State Intelligence Agency maintains all foreign intelligence capabilities.


Description of Your Nation's Economy: Largely free-market state, maintains high economic freedoms with a strong entrepreneurial spirit. Agriculture central to economy, as well as extensive exports in machinery, pharmaceuticals, and chemical products.
Description of Your Nation's Government: Provisional Council temporarily holds power over Irish government. Legislature has been temporarily suspended until advent of new elections in 1993. Currently Provisional Council is made up of 10 officials from IRA, numerous business leaders, former political leaders, and senior military officers as well. Rebuilding nation after chaotic civil war is priority.
History of your Nation: Ireland's history remains largely the same up to just before WW2. With the rise of numerous nationalist and fascist movements throughout Europe, Republican elements within Ireland establish deals with Fascist leaders throughout Europe. A splinter group from the IRA is formed, the Irish Birthright Movement. IBM was an ultra-nationalist group that employed extensive terror campaigns against Irish government and British authorities in Northern Ireland. IBM became so hated even the IRA sought to eliminate them, putting the IRA in good graces with government. By the mid-50s, IBM was vanquished due to lack of support from former European partners, as well as a ruthless campaign by the IRA.

Civil strife remains issue as IRA turns its sights on government, utilizing extensive weaponry the Irish government granted them in their campaign against IBM. With advanced training, tactics and weapons the IRA is far more efficient, remaining in constant conflict with an increasingly authoritarian, paranoid government. IRA begins winning hearts and minds of citizens, who by the mid-80s have grown sick of government overstepping its limits. Protests turn into riots against the government, and in late 1991 the parliament is stormed, leading to the deaths and injuries of numerous politicians. Irish Republican leaders quickly seize power, alongside allies they had made in government, military, police and the private sector. Currently Provisional Council rules over Ireland, however vows to relinquish power after new elections in 1993.
Population of entire nation: 5,249,340

[Ptolemais]

Jesus christ, India just annexed Thailand.

Hello, China, are you awake?

[Novacom]

With a rigged poll and pixie dust no less...

[Imperial Baekchae]

Yeah...Turkey. As much as I like you, I'm not trashing my nation for you. Especially not against my Indian friends.

And Emerald. I cannot help you, as mentioned, if you do not grant me the terms we agreed with. As such, I have to withhold aid until I get what I was promised.

And I will respond in kind. I'm not going to stand for this. Thailand is my puppet.

[Novacom]

Especially with how questionable the entire thing is, I was under the impression an annexation of an NPC like that would take MONTHS of preparation to do, not a pair of posts...

[Ugandavitz]

Hey Waz, whenever you get on next, shoot me a TG about playing Russia if it's ok with you or not) please?

[Ugandavitz]

With so many wars and so little dialogue/diplomacy begins the degradation of the quality of the RP imo.

This, the realism is gone, and very much has been gone quite a while now.

[Imperial Baekchae]

Well, I suppose I will go to the US and ask for reconcilliation. Indiais a threat to world peace.

Yeah, um, I have no idea how I missed that entire post, but India you're going to need to fight Thailand over that. Let's get in the war thread, you're not going to be able to just walk in and annex a major country like Thailand.

Anyone with grievances should make it known as well, I assume China may be getting involved.

[Imperial Baekchae]

Damm right Im getting involved...

[Doitsu-san]

Well, I suppose I will go to the US and ask for reconcilliation. Indiais a threat to world peace.

This is beautiful.
I told India you would get involved. I told India you and the U.S. would curbstomp him. Did he listen? No.

Well, let's spice things up!

Well, India threatening to support Iran sure factored in.

I am glad China can be such a reliable friend ^>^

I think he's being sarcastic.

[The Emerald Dragon]

Well, i'm listening to music on the highest volume setting with headphones....

[Bujahla]

71% of people in Thailand to be annexed? Highly doubt it. Nationalism is/was high in SEA at the time. Hell its probably apart of ASEAN so they'd never accept it.

I missed his earlier post, but Reph had an Indian agent assassinate the Thai king then occupied Thailand under the pretext of stabilizing the country. However, as you say, that's not likely to happen without a fight so i'd like Reph to RP out the war in the war thread.

Agreed. Occupation is possible, but it'd take more than one post and would result in major insurgency. As well, they wouldn't just vote to join India when they aren't even part of the Indian subcontinent.

I got the impression the vote was rigged by India.

I got the idea that they wanted it due to the people celebrating and stuff. And I'm pretty sure the people within India could give less than two shits about annexing Thailand besides the corrupt officials. In fact, it's safe to assume that the would probably hold riots against it. As well, I doubt the efficiency of the Indian army against stopping insurgency.

Yeah, the Indian Union is not exactly a paragon of stability. This may not end well.
