The Second World War (OOC/Open/Limited AH)

[Archegnum]

Currently neutral. Though I havent been accepted yet. Basically, whoever offers me the best deal

I've got pizza!

You Italy?

And sorry, everyone, if I take a while to reply to messages - I'm on my phone.

Do you guys think the Greater Greece alternate history is realistic? It must at least be as believable as independant California, right?

[ApplePieistan]

Same here. Apparently those silly yanks didn't know beans on toast was a thing!

I really hate being called a silly yank y'know. None of you guys are better than us, and none of us are better than you, stop acting like you are.

Are you sure we aren't better than them? We can buy gas for under $3.

I'm not sure what the exchange rate is but we pay £1.14 a litre

I am indeed Italy. What else could I interest you in? Could I give you Djibouti?

That's REALLY expensive. That's over twice as much as we pay.

Yeah, that's what we get for being a small island that hates just about everyone

Is it true that your police don't have firearms?

[Nivok Baves]

Is it true that your police don't have firearms?

Some of them do, mainly used when the it's a big day for the Royal Family such as Trooping the Colour, Jubilees, etc, etc. Otherwise no, but I guess that's why we don't have so many police brutality cases

[Archegnum]

You guys can call us Tommies, Limies if you want. And I never suggested one was better than the other, it was just banter bruv

I agree. Anglo-American teasing is an essential part of any forum thread. Even better when we have our mutual friends the Canadians, Australians and New Zealanders with us!

You call us stuffy and old fashioned, we call you upstart colonials. It's just a fact of life

Well, our cops need them to fight ISIS every time they attack Texas.

It must suck being at target for refugees, oh wait.

Jokes, in reality if you're willing to leave your sunny kinda-paradise for Birmingham, you must be fucking oppressed

The reason you pay $6.77 a gallon is because you have a high gasoline tax.

Tempting. I'll get back to you on territory etc. when I am at a computer - phones are so slow to type with

[Nivok Baves]

That too, we have to make money somehow. Nuclear Weapons aren't cheap!

Haha. We've got more than enough of those. You know what else we have? Football. We think that cricket is for sissies, and thus don't play it.

But we need them to maintain our seat on the UN Security Council and avoid being reliant on the French for a European nuclear deterrent. It's bad enough that they have a good carrier and we don't (though we are scheduled to have 2 even better ones by 2017 - eat that, frogs!)

Anyway, gtg now. I might read the posts on here for a bit, but I probably won't comment again tonight. Could someone point the OP in the direction of my app while I'm gone please?

And you Yanks claim American Football isn't sissy? You wear ruddy armour! We Brits fight like men in rugby, and that's coming from someobe who isn't even a huge fan!

Description of Your Nation's Economy:
Description of Your Nation's Government: Free India is dominated by the Indian National Congress, a coalition of several progressive, Socialist, anti-imperialist and Indian nationalist political parties and organisations. While the INC is not the only legal party in the country, it is by far the dominant force in the political scene of India. In fact, there are several bans in place on organisations that operate on a strictly ethnic nationalist, racist or religious fundamentalist basis. This means certain Hindu nationalist organisations such as the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), are outlawed.

Alternate History: The Provisional Government of Free India was founded in December 1939, not long after the Second World War had broken out officially, with the Allied British and French facing off against the Axis of Germany, Italy and Japan. Anti-British and anticolonial sentiment, which had already been on the rise in the British Raj for decades, only increase further now that the old colonial British Empire was involved in what promised to become a long and heavy war. The Japanese Empire, always keen on dismantling foreign colonial presence in Asia, made use of the occassion to send agents to India in order to coordinate anti-British resistance groups.

Supported by Japan, a group of independence activists led by Subhas Chandra Bose, chairman of the All India Forward Bloc, proclaimed the Provisional Government of Free India in Kolkata, West Bengal. The rebellion quickly spread to other parts of India, and ensured the de facto independence of much of eastern India, including the provinces of West Bengal, Assam, Meghalaya, Odissa and Jharkand.

No India.

That is still more believable than Patton, who was friends with MacArthur...

It's alternate history, and Patton was part of the AEF, who was only 12,000 strong and was dealt several crushing losses, breaking his spirit and making him into a more bitter man

All of your good generals (Patton, Eisenhower) should be dead or in other nations. They aren't about to join a mutated so-called "American" continuation.

There are very, very, very few who would willingly support a revolution against a government they swore to protect. Can you please try and explain it to him Mars? I'm having no luck. And I've studied Patton extensively. Did you know he was in the 1912 Olympics?

Football? I love a good game of footie, personally Arsenal is my favourite although they haven't been doing too well recently. But rugby on the other hand, the mans game that is. And I'm not the biggest fan of Cricket but id advise not getting hit by a cricket ball

Do you have any idea how many aircraft carriers we have? Also, the only reason we wear the armor we do is because before we wore armor, a lot people died from playing the game because football players slam into each other as hard as cars.

We don't need nukes to keep our permanent member seat in the UN Security Council since we were one of the main victors in WW2 and it's basically written into the UN Charter. The main reason we need the nukes is for deterrence.

Having two aircraft carriers of the Queen Elizabeth-Class is rather impressive for Britain. We ain't that rich.

We were also a major player in WWII. We couragously came to both continents and killed them into teeny tiny pieces. We were the reason the allied won WWII.
