[Limborg]

Is The White Horde still active? I need him to reply on the protests, but i don't even get a response on a TG anymore...

I doubt he is.

EDIT: Also, Limborg, we've been asked not to use the IC for the whole talking business.

We should just discuss the terms over telegram.

Yeah i noticed.

Claims: Kuwait
Capital City: Al Jahrah

Government Form: Parliamentary Monarchy
Ideology: Direct democratic unitary state
Foreign Policy: The country retains its tradition, but it is very welcome to the western powers of U.S., France, U.K., etc
Domestic Policy: It is democratic, and believes that a country is judged by how it treats its citizens.
Civil Freedoms /10: 9
Political Freedoms /10: 9
Economic Freedoms /10: 10

Military Size: 14,200
Military Description: Most rifles and tanks used by Kuwait are dated 1979 - 1986. The only fighter jets available are 23 reverse-engineered U.S. F/A-18 Hornets.
Strengths and Weaknesses: Guerrilla tactics, the military is generally people of the desert.
Law Enforcement: Police officers require warrants, and all persecution goes with trial. The government can supply a defender with a lawyer if they cannot pay for one themselves.
Intelligence agencies: State Security Intelligence, Domestic Undercover Police, Military Intelligence

Description of Your Nation's Economy: Free markets, many products and services are unregulated.
Description of Your Nation's Government: The Emir has power of all and cannot be vetoed, however it is parliamentary and has subdivisions.
History of your Nation: Kuwait was an economic, trading nation from the 1600s to the early 1900s. British imposed blockades on Kuwait due to their support of the Ottomans heavily damaged Kuwait's economy, and lack of demand of pearls in the Great Depression deepened the wound of economic downfall. However, the economy bounded back in the early 30s after Kuwait turned out to be oil-rich. Oil exports filled the rims of Kuwait's international market in comparison to western nations like the United Kingdom and France.

Kuwait left the British protectorate in 1937, and so did the end of an Arabian blockade. The economy recoiled quickly from 1938 to 1940, and Kuwait became the largest exporter of oil in the Persian Gulf. The economy slowly turned down in the late 70s and early 80s from a decrease in oil prices. In 1990, oil production in Kuwait peaked, and so did one-way tensions with Iraq to the north. However, it never sparked into full-scale war, as the country was unprepared for a war anyways. An American shipment of F/A-18 multi-role fighter jets in 1991 solidified the country's naval aircraft presence, and so the safety of the country's waters. It must now prepare for an inevitable Farsi-Iraqi conflict.
Population of entire nation: 1.79 million

Are you a democracy or not? You have high political freedoms, but apparently the Emir can overrule anything he doesn't like.

What are your plans for Kuwait, have you read any of the recent events going on in your region IC?

My plans? Stay neutral. Unless Iraq or Iran intends to incorporate me into their plans, I don't want anything to do with it.

Wise is this one...

[Rephesus]

Just a note, I was never actually intending on going to war with Turkey ICly, I have no reason to. If he starts annexing land, then I obviously will react, but otherwise it's unrealistic for me to do so when India has a lot of skepticism towards Iran.

Then next time don't come across as so bullish, the manner in which you were posting made it look like you were about to send your forces on a blitzkrieg across the middle east for extremely dubious reasons

Spain, your my first target.

Ahh, Le France. Would you like to enter into an oil for investment deal with the Caliphate?

Head of State: Eamon O'Donnell

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.

Oh that doesn't mean I don't like to troll a bit once in a while, and when you have such... passionate people just begging for arguments, it's easy.

Did you forget when I 'gave' France to Germany?

Its really hard to tell when you troll or not because you do it so often (aka the Mughals in NI)

I was actually thinking being Nationalist Greece. It could be interesting to have a mini cold war in the Balkans with Bulgaria. Plus the Greek Nationalist flag looks really cool.

But if I join as Korea communism could be fun...
