The word fascist here only means that we highly encourage nationalism, other stuff like "OBEY US OTHERWISE CONSIDER YOURSELF DEAD" (by that i mean we aren't rough on people) doesn't apply to my nation.
We give them every right they need, except political rights (just like a monarchy).

Now every post in this thread after it is, at least for me (Mac OSX 10.6.8, Firefox 12 or something), awkwardly sized and stuff. I suggest you fix it to stop this, and that goes for anyone else who quoted that post as well.

(if it's not messed up on anyone else's screen, I must be seeing things.)

Looks like it fixed itself on the page flip. Nevermind — ignore the quote above. Don't matter anymore.

Hello, as executive commander of ICE it's my job to give you feedback on your application, although it is not my authority to accept or deny you (that's Phonencia's job). However, my statement will give you perspective on how your application was prior to Phonencia's call.

First of all, as with several other new applicants, you missed the section on the OP that reads "[note: erase the notes in parentheses when filling out your app or it will be DENIED.]" You didn't erase those parentheses. Secondly, as Finorskia said, your government is a self-proclaimed fascist dictatorship (that runs on capitalist economy) and you're applying to an alliance that holds civil rights and liberties as an utmost priority. Dictatorships (mostly the oppressive ones) and other tyrannical governments are generally looked down upon by the alliance as a whole.

Also, using 7.62 Soviet and 5.56 NATO is sorta almost paradoxical and a major tax to your logistics system. Idk if RL nations do that or not but if they do, it's because they're switching from the 7.62 to 5.56 or they're using 5.56 as a special forces cartridge. Also, you said yo use 7.62x39mm Soviet yet your main weapon is the AK-74; the AK-74 is 5.45x39mm Russian weapon, not 7.62. The M16A2 is indeed 5.56. However, nations rarely switch from 5.45 to 5.56 since their performance is so similar and it's so expensive to switch. Most countries go from 7.62 mm (NATO or Russian) to either 5.45 or 5.56 depending on which caliber weapons are deemed more suitable. Generally western nations and their allies opt for 5.56 while former Soviet nations and their allies opt for 5.45.

I haven't examined your RPing yet (since that's pretty essential) so I can't judge you on that at this point.

(btw, monarchies can have political freedoms, a la United Kingdom which is a constitutional monarchy)

I honestly don't see how fascism = nationalism. America highly encourages nationalism, has very significant patriotism, but Americans shudder at the word fascist. Fascism = dictatorship. From what you've said I can see you're probably a moderate dictatorship, but idk for sure.

Don't worry, we don't care how you talk. We all (or at least most of us) have a very colorful fucking vocabulary. Anyways, we'll see what Phonencia says. Also, if you want complete control there's always totalitarian democracy, which I often advocate particularly for people who want a dictatorship without suppressing rights.

Anyways, to the rest of ICE, here's an example of retarded warmongers. A bunch of nations are attacking a country because that country banned Internet. An invasion because they banned Internet. Ugh.... (no offense to any ICE nations that may be taking part :P )

All fairness to me in this; I'm not invading anything at the moment, and am only liable to get involved in a military context because of unwarranted attacks on refugees (Human rights abuse), attacks on the forces of other sovereign nations attempting to evacuate refugees or attacks on Glaswegistani forces involved in the evacuation of refugees.

We've got to save those potential worke- I mean, those poor, poor refugees...

Some nations do use both calibers (a la Royal Moroccan Army), but it's not common.

I know this is just nit-picking, but why are you trying to transition to NATO equipment if you have an abundance of Soviet weapons and ammo? Actually, I'm fine with the transition, but wouldn't you still try and find weapons that can use 5.45mm? Since you have an abundance of Soviet ammo, it would be sorta logical.

Eh, I think Morocco is special since they were classified as a Major non-NATO ally (MNNA) of the U.S., so basically as a military ally they were obliged to familiarize with American equipment and, as an MNNA with relations to the U.S., also aided in that the U.S. helped train them thus used their own weapons to train them on. Same with Afghanistan/Iraq's reformed armed forces; initially they all used AK's, but now they're being armed with M16A2's since the U.S./NATO is training them and arming them.

I'm itching to write up an RP for the UYR now, but I'd have to use an RP population much larger than the nation's own, in which case all the other ICE members taking part would have to agree to it. And agree not to completely ass-rape the UYR with 100000x more troops. I think I'll keep it closed only for ICE though, so none of the "we're going to war because you banned Internet in your own country" stuff comes in.

Not just going towards their nation.

"The Greater Communist Unions of" Zanazbar has outright stated its intention to shoot any and all refugees moving from Sadland, extending its initial statement of any refugees found in Zanazbarian waters, to any and all refugees.

Zanazbar wrote:We will keep our original statement that all refugees[babies, men, women, children] are to be killed on sight. Any nation who opposes this, well, we are prepared for anything.


This, in and of itself, is grounds for ICE intervention, but given that the Zanazbarians have shown continuous disregard for the strengths of combined arms, the importance of a powerful industrial base in the context of an armed conflict, the doctrines of several modern armies around the globe and the utter lack of advantages in the event of Zanazbar declaring war on any one of the nations currently pledging support for one another in the Sadland flashpoint (Outnumbered, outgunned and, if the Zanazbarian assessments of the situation are any indicator; outled and outfought), ICE intervention might well only be arbitrary overkill.

Not just going towards their nation.

"The Greater Communist Unions of" Zanazbar has outright stated its intention to shoot any and all refugees moving from Sadland, extending its initial statement of any refugees found in Zanazbarian waters, to any and all refugees.

Zanazbar wrote:We will keep our original statement that all refugees[babies, men, women, children] are to be killed on sight. Any nation who opposes this, well, we are prepared for anything.


This, in and of itself, is grounds for ICE intervention, but given that the Zanazbarians have shown continuous disregard for the strengths of combined arms, the importance of a powerful industrial base in the context of an armed conflict, the doctrines of several modern armies around the globe and the utter lack of advantages in the event of Zanazbar declaring war on any one of the nations currently pledging support for one another in the Sadland flashpoint (Outnumbered, outgunned and, if the Zanazbarian assessments of the situation are any indicator; outled and outfought), ICE intervention might well only be arbitrary overkill.

Haha I agree, us intervening could end the whole conflict in one fell swoop. Also, car-sized coilgun slugs? I thought that topic was MT?

Anyways, I'm thinking he means refugees towards him, but hey he seems up for a war and he's being an IC dick so by all means go ahead.

It wasn't designated as anything until it got shifted to International Incidents, IIRC...

Well this escalated rather quickly. I may end up running up the official ICE letterhead for this. But I'll definately declare my intent to invade his vital regions. I'll invade him and he'll enjoy it!

You misunderstood what I said; I said that the proposal to have Humanitarian Only Nations as Associate Members and Military Only Nations as Full Members was unfair. Besides, the Humanitarians and the Military are already seperate.
I respect your beliefs and do not expect you to follow mine - I request the same from you.

Yes but look at our supplies. The Peacekeepers, which come under military, draw from your Humanitarian supplies. My thing was to make sure we don't have to grain Humanitarian supplies for bombing someone into submission liberating opressed regimes.

I understand that, I opposed different RANKS of membership if humanitarians were not to be the same as the military-nations. My comment had nothing to do with the seperation of Humanitarians and Peacekeepers (which I support).

IMPORTANT: Can the Humanitarians help the wounded on any side, as it is an important mandate. Obviously Citizens and the ICE come first. Also, can the Humanitarian Department begin official operations prior to the military declaring operations, or do we all do it together?
