A New Nation (Character/Political Party RP) - OOC

Police as in the army.

So in a way, the army will be fighting against the coup?

Nope. Not at all.

[Benian Republic]

So in a way, the army will be fighting against the coup?

Nope. Not at all.

So once I succeed in the coup the army will be able to be a real force.

[Marsisian]

Nope. Not at all.

Indeed.

[Republic of the Cristo]

So in a way, the army will be fighting against the coup?

Nope. Not at all.

But wasn't it agreed thought that the army was also the police?

[Neo-Chicago]

Nope. Not at all.

I'm not sure what you mean here. The army is a real force.

[Republic of the Cristo]

Yes, Black Phoenix will provide quite a bit of support with your rise to power. Although your character won't know it.

[Benian Republic]

I'm not sure what you mean here. The army is a real force.

I intend to make it very powerful like give it up to 9% GDP or even more.

[Marsisian]

Nope. Not at all.

But wasn't it agreed thought that the army was also the police?

It is. The army performs a double role. And the army will not be opposing this coup, so the police and army will not provide resistance. We can't take the casualties anyway.

This is all I have to say.

My (and by extension, James Nicholas Andrews') opinion on the budget of Columbia. I'll post my other opinions at a convenient time.

Education - 20%
Healthcare - 10%
Welfare - 5%
Military - 18%
Law & Order - 30%
Infrastructure - 5%
Subsidies - 5%
Public Transport - 0% (Private "Public" Transportation, like taxis would be more viable.)
Environment & Industrial Regulation - 2% (As much as I don't want radioactive sludge left and right, lower standards here would appeal to corporations. Still some, though.)
Administration - 5%

I see.

some one should probably post something. If we ever do want to progress to the point in which a coup is feasible that is.

[Neo-Chicago]

We shouldn't be having any coups this early on, and there's no way the entire military is just going to sit around and let a coup happen. Yes some might be loyal to the General but not all of them will just sit back and watch.

[Neo-Chicago]

I really don't see why the militaristic nationalists want a coup in the first place, after looking at the current administration's view on the budget, that's four or five posts above this one.

I know, which is why I believe that the coup should occur later on when we are a stronger nation

The military is apolitical. It has no place in politics and most don't care and don't want to get themselves killed for a government they don't have any strict loyalty to. All of them will sit back and watch. If they get more money in the new administration, they'd be even less willing to fight for the old one.

No, I'm saying that the current administration's views on the military budget are the same if not stronger than the Nationalists'.

That's makes absolutely no sense, the entire point of the military is to defend the nation. If they have no loyalty then why would they be in the military. It is completely illogical for the entire military to sit back and let a coup happen when the government has done absolutely nothing against the military. We haven't made a budget so you can't say we don't give them enough funding and they have quite abbot of power so, you have no reason to support a coup.

That isn't enough.

The nation is currently giving it double that.

[Neo-Chicago]

Benian, read my post. The government's currently giving the military double what you propose.

No I meant the story, let us post so we can further progress into the story, therefore getting closer towards the coup. Although we must go slow, preferably after elections.

[Benian Republic]

someone please critique my post I want to get better, keep in mind it was hastily written.
Oh and ill raise the military budget to 30

Mercenaries do not care what their orders are as long as they get what they came there for: money. The General won't do anything against the coup, so the mercenaries won't do anything against it as well. Plus they don't want to get themselves killed for a government they have no loyalty to. The volunteers won't side with the former government for the fear of being hunted down if the coup succeeds and the definite possibility of being outnumbered by the coup's supporters.

Bigger budget equals bigger wages for the mercenaries and volunteers alike.

[Neo-Chicago]

Benian Republic, I'm going to outright say no here. I specifically said in the rules not to do anything ridiculous. My only problem with your post is:

he was able to acquire more than 2,500 AK47's and a vast amount of small arms and home made explosives.

You need to make a series of posts detailing how you obtain the guns, the explosives, how you prepare for the attack. You can attack us, but not without proper preparation.
