2020: A New Decade (OOC/Open)

[Amuaplye]

I think Equatorial Guinea, Ivory Coast, Kuwait, Peru, and Poland need to be changed.

This is the IRL list.

I know, it's just that their term ends this year, and replacements would have to be made in 2020.

As far as im aware it said "member states" rather than just "China."

Chill out guys

[Hypron]

Most advanced ship I have, and I only have one of them. Well, I know where my defense budget is going for the next few years.

I think it is out.

[Chewion]

Ok I have motioned to allow Japan and South Korea into the chamber and have speaking rights so I need a second technically and then votes for and against if we wanna go realistic with this.

[The Felan Federation]

So. OOC stuff here.

Anyone know how we can reset the thread here. Cause they seemed to have slightly bugged off more to the left for me.

[Hypron]

Well then, time to move the fleet to 50 miles off the coast of North Korea. And by fleet, I mean the Izumo and it's escorts. And I have the same problem, but it ain't too major. It might reset with a new page.

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

Accepted!

[Hypron]

Great Britain has a GIANT air force of about 35,000 planes. Granted, most of those are ww2 era, but still, impressive.

[Hypron]

Meanwhile I am shaking in my boots because of this.

Highly likely, which means Japanese actions will probably soon be taken (without breaking Article 9)

Japan can legally use the military when defending an ally and in UN roles I think right?

Correct. No offensive wars, although I plan on reinterpreting Article 9 at some point.

[The Felan Federation]

The Kaesong Liberation Front is about 85 miles from the South Korean border. But if Russia gets paratroopers to the location...well. I shall be thankful for the help.

[Chewion]

Y’all a lid on doing stuff in North Korea applies to even the former Soviet Union.
