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

[Alouite]

I think they just wanted to get out of there before a sizeable US counteroffensive could respond.

You really need to learn more history.

Okay, so what about a struggling economy brought up by oil? Central/South American woes answered with oil from Venezuela and the Cuban Basin. Nations form a powerful conglomerate as a result, and use the oil as their main export. How's that?

Not good enough.

You're pushing a hard envelope here. How about that combined with rampant instability in the region? The offer of union came with an offer of stability, if under a sort of totalitarianism. But still, the oil stimulating the economy and the peace that a union would bring would be a fairly enticing reason to join up, if you were to ask me.
If not, I'm not entirely sure what you'd want.

A surviving nation that rebelled against Spain and managed to survive to the present day. And what nations exactly do you want?

Sorry, but history is one of the few things I am truly passionate about.

Jeez, sorry I offended everyone with my ignorance, Mr. Child Prodigy. I promise to not pass my hunches and guesses off as answers again.

I mean, wasn't South America fairly established and by this time anyways? And I would take Mexico to Venezuela, if that's okay with you(including some Caribbean countries) if that's okay with you. The land gain isn't that large, and I don't think I have any tactical advantage, considering how much border I would need to guard.

My bad, Belize was British Honduras until after WW2, but for the most part, South America had been independent for 100+ years. At least, all of my main countries.

You didn't offend anyone, trust me, it's nice to see someone attempting. Like I said, I apologize.

You know how every nation in South America rebelled against Spain or Portugal at one point? They were all colonies. So make your nation one of those nations.

Mexico to Venezuela is too much. How about Colombia to the Mexican border with Central America?

So is there anything in particular that I should address in my first IC post?

War.

uhh... Panama Canal?

That's perfectly fine, but may I please also include Venezuela? Their oil is central to the reasons that the union actually happened.

Nothing happened in Asia. I could use some Mitsubishi zeros, though (I'm Italy). Also, it'd be very beneficial to snatch Hong Kong.

What about it?

[New Besancon]

What about it?

How will America react when it's taken by this new country? Or was it ever built in the first place. . . ?

[Cerrania]

Perhaps that can be the first action my union does, is seize the Canal. The Union can just be forming at the start of the role-play. It's all up in the air, and I haven't gotten an OK from Mars yet.

[Marsisian]

What about it?

But it won't be a new union. Why does everybody say it's a new union? Bolivia was founded in 1825, is that a new union?

It's a country. A country which rose up in rebellion against Spain in the 1800s.

We may be confused. I am asking for - I suppose - several nations' worth of territories in Central America/the Caribbean. That can be lumped into one nation, but I think it would be more akin to the USSR, in terms of how the territory is allotted.

These several nations banded together because of extreme instability and a massive recession that left several of the countries crippled. Venezuela, in communication with Cuba, offered a way out of sorts. A stabilization: oil. A commonwealth of nations with Venezuela and Cuba at the head, as they controlled massive stores of oil. The oil would stimulate the economy, and civil tension in the region would be slowly purged through a borderline-totalitarian regime. The union wouldn't explosively prosper and become a world power, but it wouldn't stagnate.
Is this okay?

Cuba probably would have been supported economically by the United States.

I hope the guy playing as France knows what to do differently that what happened in real life-.-

I don't deny it. It would probably be best that the Central American Commonwealth(CAC) maintain close relations with the United States. However, if the Commonwealth is given the Ok, I may have Cuba lean off the proverbial economic crutch of the U.S.

It might be easier for you to be a surviving Gran Colombia or something.

Is Colombia+Venezuela okay, then? I do really desire Venezuela.
