[Deleted]

Your app was good man, just missing a single thing in there.

I looked at the IC and it looks a bit ... yeah, sorry but dosen't seem like the kind of RP for me.

[Kargintina the Third]

Russia I’m sorry but we’re gonna need longer posts than that.

[The Felan Federation]

I laughed at Poland offer to help North Korean Catholics to safety.

When the entire region is literally in flames. (And I do doubt if the Catholic stuff they teach in North Korea is the same that Poland may be familiar with)

Is north korea democratic rebels vs. the regime then?

[Amuaplye]

Is north korea democratic rebels vs. the regime then?

I think it's just a gigantic free-for-all at this point, though factions will probably slowly begin to develop soon.

I think China will probably launch a military operation in the north to secure that area.

Basic Info
Name of Nation: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Location: Current UK territory
Population: 67.55 million

Government Info
Government Type: Unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy

Head of Government: Boris Johnson
Head of State: Queen Elizabeth II
Brief Description of your government: A parliament with two chambers: House of Commons (elected) and House of Lords (appointed). Led by the prime minister, whose most senior ministers comprise the Cabinet. After the general elections, which take place every five years, the leader of the party who holds the confidence of the House of Commons (aka having the majority of MPs) becomes prime minister.

Foreign policy Info
Allies: NATO, the EU (somewhat uneasily, but still allies nonetheless), the Commonwealth of Nations, Israel, Japan, South Korea
Enemies: Terrorists in the Middle East. Aside from that, pretty much the same bloc of informal enemies as the U.S.'s coalition - Russia, China, etc.
Goals: Exit the European Union by the end of January, reach new trade deals with allies, stabilize the Middle East (a very broad way to express a number of more specific goals), limit Russian and Chinese influence abroad
Level of Foreign Intervention: Pretty substantial. The UK is very involved in the Middle East and has a strong history of foreign intervention, although as with many other stronger nations, there is growing opposition to future foreign intervention that has sparked debate

Just keep what you have but don't have any operation going on till we deal with it realistically, please.

Nations have taken military action before without UNSC permission, though. It is realistic that China would try to secure its borders and protect itself by securing some areas of the north.

Doubt any citizens would be in Pyongyang to begin with. Most of them likely on the border between North and South Korea.

China is okay for securing the border, I just wanted a lid on countries saying they were just doing a full on invasion.
