2024: AGE OF SUPERPOWERS [OOC | COBALT NETWORK SPONSORED]

[Aillyria]

So I was wondering if Brazil is still open? It says reserved on the OP so I assume it's been taken, but couldn't find a reservation on the OOC so figured that I may as well ask.

This is someone I didn't expect to see here.

That’s was over a year ago. I haven’t been accused of godmodding since and even then everything I said was in OOC and the nukes were initially approved before minds were changed. If I am never allowed the opportunity to show I am capable of meeting your standards then this situation will never change.

How about giving me chance. Let me play a less important nation like Austria or Hungary? And if I prove myself unsatisfactory then I’ll gladly leave.

Isn't there a minium post length requirment in the rules?

Yes, there is.

Basically it's your standard robotic arm used in factories but a tad bit more advanced.

I'm not quite sure.

Wow so you won’t even give me a chance to prove myself to you? Besides you believing I’m apparently to stupid to write an articulate post what other reasons are there? I’m genuinely curious.

Nothing to do with brainpower. You have a reputation for godmodding and with short posts, I've only ever seen a handful which are decent. And that's a reputation I don't want to risk inside of the roleplay. This is evident when you look back at International Warfare, banned for heavy godmodding [Conjuring up nukes, having a 10 Trillion GDP, with an army of three million as Australia of all places] and that's not even mentioning the hellhole that was Global Warfare. When you were permitted to play International Warfare, you absolutely zapped my enthusiasm for the duration you were there, which made writing posts and running the roleplay as a whole more difficult than it should've been. And, regardless, letting you play a major nation such as France, even with your reputation alone, is an absolute no-go. Plus the other things, I'd rather have you absent from this roleplay.

Now, despite the past paragraph, I have absolutely no disdain for you, quite the contrary actually. I think you're a cool person and I look forward to roleplaying with you in the future when you've improved

Allow him to take a minor nation then. There are plenty: Austria, Hungary, Malta etc......

[Labstoska]

From an objective view, I'll say this. Measuring a paragraph in the legnth of words or sentences is not something I'm a fan of, but there of course needs to be some sort regulation. I would consider a decent well thought about paragraph to be about 7 to 10 lines generally. Personally I've had trouble finding posts that meet this quota in multiple paragraphs. But, I'm willing to give you somewhat of a benefit of the doubt, and say if you can provide some-sort of an example of this [which means a 35-50 line post], that you might have a better chance of being accepted. As from what I can tell this RP is a much slower pace, so just posting quick updates that only cover one or two things, or simply an interaction of characters or countries, is likely not going to pass. No ones asking you to write a small novel for your posts, but they should be around five or more times larger than this paragraph you just finished reading. Espically considering five paragraphs is considered a minium for this RP. Though you also have to realize that if you incapible, yet are still allowed to RP, that there is a high chance you can damage to enjoyablity of the RP to the other people invovle, since from what I can remember, similar things happened in the past RP [to which this is kind of a spirital sucessor].

But that's just my two cents, and I'm a military advisor not a co-op [unless something has changed]

Dang. Speaking of that matter, do you think Madagascar is the weakest nation to play as?

No that would be Luxembourg.

[Chewion]

Which I’m willing to meet.

If it pleases Atrilan and will help me in getting accepted I will write an example that is 35-50 lines long.

I’d gladly play as Austria.

[Nations United for Conquest]

Dang. Speaking of that matter, do you think Madagascar is the weakest nation to play as?

Well, there are worse countries to play as. Madagascar is listed as 119 on the military power scale as of 2017, and I don't really see that changing that in the seven years until the beginning of the RP. Regionally, though, you're pretty close to most nations around you.

I'll discuss it with Pacificora and the Co-ops.

Dose the International Entity have power over elections inside the government?, for example: An election in the parliament over a gun law.

No, Parliament descisions are up to you, but you still should make it align with the party in question. Republicans in the US aren't going to vote for universal healthcare, the En Marche! in France isn't going to vote to leave the EU, United Russia won't support socialist policies, etc.

Well when I say most, a lot of the African nations are listed around the upper 90s to 100s. Places like the Congo, Niger, Gabon, Mozambique...and some smaller European countries like Estonia and Latvia. You have a smaller population but given my understanding of typical military rules in a RP like this, you won't really have to worry about numbers. You have a decent amount of armor, but they're not much better then APCs, but they're amphibous so that's cool. You have some decent military support, as you have some Migs in storage, and a number of more modern equipment in the form of AK-47s and others.

The main problems I see is that your navy needs some work, as its mainly PT boats and RHIB boats, so that could use some improvement. PT boats with older missiles are probably the best way to go, though I don't see you taking on Russia or the US anytime soon. You could also use a little boost to your airforce, as you lack active CAS or ASF aircraft in service, though requesting foreign aid would help with this. I suggest something along the lines of Super Tucanos, as they're good for light CAS, which is your primar concern as a smaller nation that doesn't have any need to be involved in more foreign military activities. You should also look into some gunships, as they can be helpfun. You have a few helos, and most of them can be turned into gunships along the lines of mi-24s, while the others would serve better as scout helo, with some missiles tacked on for support. Hellfires might be too exspensive for you, so 70mm rocket pods are probably the better choice. It alos wouldn't be too hard to mount of a few of your M2s on either of them.

Though a small problem is the fact your military budget is a bit low, only rounding in at about 64mil in 2011, so accounting for the increase in the economy, which is somewhat predicted, this might land you closer to 70-80 million

[Atrilan]

Would a Pro-Russian Ukraine be too unreasonable by your standards? Just wanted to make sure before creating an app.

Thanks!

- Hothnia

Yeah, it would be, since the largest party in Ukraine [And by the rule on the "Party in Power section of the application, the only party you could choose since no other party has 75%+ its members] is listed as Pro-European. If you want to stick with Russia, you could go Donetsk and try to get the region independent from Ukraine, or the whole of Novoryssia if you're really looking to push tensions early [Which I wouldn't recommend, personally]. But you'd be a good bit smaller than the whole of Ukraine, regardless.

[Atrilan]

Labstotska, there is no technocratic party yet. They're going to start during the roleplay.

[Chewion]

Should I still write up an example?

No need.

But you’ll still consider me right?

Cool, what about Madagascar's Foreign Relations with other countries?

[Labstoska]

Labstotska, there is no technocratic party yet. They're going to start during the roleplay.

Any possible substitute for them?

[Chewion]

But you’ll still consider me right?

Yeah.

Ok thanks. I believe I could do Austria well and have some plans that excite me that will help me write posts that meet your requirements. I hope you and the others find me worthy of a chance.

[Nations United for Conquest]

Cool, what about Madagascar's Foreign Relations with other countries?

Kind of hard to find up to dat information. Originally in the early 2000s it seems that the nation was pursing a policy of neutrality as they were focusing on internal, mainly economic, issues. Though then there was this whole internal clusterfuck that I'm having trouble making sense of, they were suspended from the AU, and now most of Europe is trying to fix them

History [MUST LINE UP WITH HISTORY IN "STATUS" SECTION, NOT SET IN STONE AND MUST BE APPROVED BY OPs, WRITE IT LIKE IT'S GOING IN THE "STATUS" SECTION -
After the coup of 2016, Erdogan has since brought down his iron fist on the nation. Thousands were arrested and incarcerated, including opposition politicians and journalists. The powers of the President have been drastically extended, and a Presidential system has replaced the parliamentary system of government. The state has also become less secular, allowing Islam to become more involved in politics.
In 2020, the largest opposition party, Republican Peoples Party, was banned, and other political parties had they’re powers restricted, making the AKP the largest party, with 80% of Seats in the Grand National Assembly . The Kurds have been long suppressed by Turkey. Their terrorist organisation, the PKK, has been destroyed by military crackdowns, and many protests and attempted uprisings have been brutally quelled.
Turkey played a large part in the Syrian war, hoping to overthrow Assad. However, when Assad won the civil war, Turkey has continued to fund rebel groups, although most have been destroyed. Tensions run high with Syria, and there have been recent cases where gunfire has been exchanged and warplanes have been shot down by either side. Turkey has warned that affirmative action will be taken if Assad continues to abuse the civil rights of Syrians.
Turkey has also been a strong opposer if Russia and Iran. Erdogan maintains icy relations with Putin and the Ayatollah, and has threatened them to stop seeking power in the Middle East.
Erdogan has also helped bolster the Turkish economy, which has experienced a boom in the last few years, becoming a large exporter and importer and a powerful trading post between Asia and Europe.
