I hereby back this as one of the four cornerstones of the Cong.

Anyways, come on guys where are your apps for having military orders in my nation. Come on! I'm letting you have people in my nation with guys and stuff! Plus, look at the cool uniform I already made for one of us and some other nation.

That's why I use this as my flight suit:

Oh yeah, that's nice.


ucp is shittiest camouflage ever and air warrior is a ridiculous scam

isn't really all so great. it's actually just a new vest and different pocket layout more in-line with teh ACU-style cut iirc; and a lighter ballistic vest for aircrews, although i think that's for 2020 or around there. right now they're just getting a reworked survival vest, an ACU-cut flight suit, and new camo

i dont even think they get new helmets

especially true since the entire FCS program was canceled, and most everything shelved or reorganised, and the army isn't getting those fancy ass electric boxes and robots for a few more decades tbh since it's all in development and is like rly fucking prototypical shit

won't be seeing any sort of HUDs or anything for the infantryman for at least 15 years and ditto with chopper pilots since most of the tech for the airwarrior HMD is supposed to be interoperable with army ground troops

block III which includes that ugly ass helmet mockup is scheduled for 2032 at the quickest

block I is the new suit and survival vest

block II is the new microphone for the old helmet and new overlay software for the helicopter itself

block III probably won't get off the ground and is jsut a gimmick to recruit doodz into the miltiary because OMG MECHA SUITS AND HYDROCARBON BACKPACKS and has all the really badass future shit you expect to see in the 2040s when it's actually adopted, things like integrated "climate control" (probably just an ice vest and nothing fancy), new helmet, somehow going to fit a "one man life raft" into this suit without overbearing the pilot

block III is def a gimmick and mockup, like those noobs who post pictures of the soldier wearing that FCS mockup shit with the ski boots, the motorcycle helmet they got at wal-mart or something, and the giant plastic pencil holder with a shitty looking grip thinking that's right around the corner when in actuality it's easily a half century or so away

Nation Name: The Metal Head Oligarchy of Wewtlandem
Leader: Howard Jonesworth, Phillip LaGrue, Adam D., Jonny Davvy, Tim Lambesis
Type of Government: Our nation is currently under a Communist Oligarchy. This form of government helps to disperse corruption, and make it minimal through a system of power, that distributes the power amongst five members of the High Council. Even then, these men do not have all of the power, as there are lower level government officials that can gather power, but rarely do.

Number of Civil Wars within the Past Three Decades: Three. As of current, Wewtlandem's economy has only improved, and his a behemoth for how small the nation is. Currently the biggest in it's region, with multiple nations of a considerably greater population. Socially, Wewtlandish citizens are happy being ruled by the five men that run the nation.
Military Activities: As of the time this application has been sent, no wars are currently in play.
Strata of Command: High Council > Military Command > Regional Councils > Regional Managers > City Councils > City Managers. To insure that the situation never gets past Military Command, random searches, and other things are instituted to prevent any sort of terrorism and social disdain. Also, curfews and marshal law can be easily enacted within hours, as strategic command and a well armed police force provide easy control of the civilian population.
Military Focus: Wewtlandem specializes in Special Operations, such as covert operations, in and outs, with no trace of evidence left as to that the men were there. Of course, this leaves much to be desired. That is why Wewtlandem has one of the most advanced land forces in the world. The men are all well trained in every area of combat, especially open warfare, in snowy regions or fields.

Economic Situation: Well. The Wewtlandish economy is a giant compared to most nations of its size.
Currency Rate, per International Dollar: 1 Wewt Pound = $1.34 USD
Hand, or Voice: Hand

Representative: Adam D.
Medical Issues, Record of Violence, Miscellaneous: Adam is always into new forms of metal, and when he goes to different nations, he loves to study their history of music, and see if, and if so how, they evolved to their brand of metal.

Additional Notes: N/A

Military Activities: None at the moment, however may be dragged into an alliance wide war with the SEC against other members of the conglomerate.

Military Focus: The Military of The Matthew Islands is spread across 4 Branches. The Army, is the largest branch, consisting or several divisions able to deploy overseas at a moments notice, and is able to deploy anywhere in the home islands at a moments notice. The navy is the second biggest branch, employing numerous warships to defend the home islands and colonies. The Air-force while the 3rd biggest branch, is still powerful, having almost 3 thousand fighters, and 4000 Fighter bombers. The military intelligent service consists of MI6 which deals with foreign espionage and MI5 which deals with domestic espionage. While not being the biggest, it is extremely active, having numerous deep covert agents in several countries, and has run a successful deep cover campaign against terrorism in The Matthew Islands.

Economic Situation: The economy is currently thriving at a record high.

This second link was the very first large RP I was involved in:

Looking back, I am amazed at some of the troop numbers I claimed...

This one was my first foray into an FT thread, but you kind of scared me and everyone else off...

These two links were part of an expensive sga involving my defence of Zonolia against numerous enemies, with the first one being the least poorly RP-ed one for me, and the second the subsequent peace talks.

Nation Name: The Imperio Ultramar of New Lusitaniagrad

Leader: Emperor Afonso de Borgonha

Type of Government: New Lusitaniagrad is an Absolute Monarchy, with a hereditary monarch, and a bicameral parliament. While all political power rests solely on the Monarch's head, he is assisted in governing The Greater Lusitanian Empire by the Conselho dos Nobres (Council of Nobles) which is the upper house of the Parliament. Each Councilor is elected by that noble house's patriarchs and represents his family, or house in the Imperial Government. The lower house of Parliament is the Parlamento Geral (General Parliament). Members of the PG (Representatives) do not have to be members of a noble house or family, but are elected to represent their administrative district by that district's people. It should be noted however that while the Parliament may create laws based on the needs of their constituents, The Emperor has the final say and may veto any decisions passed by the Parliament


Number of Civil Wars within the Past Three Decades: We had one minor republican revolt several years ago but it was put down in a matter of weeks.
Military Activities: The Steel Pact Unified Defense Corps
Strata of Command:
1. The Emperor
2. The Prince
3. The Queen

Military Focus: We maintain a decent standing army. As well as several paramilitary militias.

Economic Situation: We are doing rather well. Most of the Industry is still controlled by the guilds of old.
Currency Rate, per International Dollar: According to NS Calculator it is 1 Imperial Sovereign = $1.8166, but I pegged my Imperial Pound to the RL UK Pound.

Hand, or Voice: [Are you a Value A or Value B member?] Voice

Representative: Lord Celso de Braganza
Medical Issues, Record of Violence, Miscellaneous: None


Additional Notes: I currently run the steel pact, but I am not doing this just to run and hide in your pocket. I realize now that any organization when compared to The Conglomerate, is a speck of dust in NS history.

Application Form

    Nation Name: Bundesrepublik Großrheinland Reich
    Leader: Federal Chancellor Justus Himmelreich, Chancellor of the Rheinlander Republic and Lord President of the East Asian Confederacy.
    Type of Government: Corporatist partisan federal republic with non-voting autonomous territories.

    Number of Civil Wars within the Past Three Decades: There have been no civil wars; however, perhaps the almost armed conflicts that happened during the class struggles of the 1990s could be considered as a war. As well as that, the Swiss Pillages of 1983 caused rioting and looting almost amounting to war, with many stealing Great War-era tanks and destroying everything in sight. It took thousands of brave men to put this riot down, almost half of which fell during then.
    Military Activities: There have been no recent events relating to the military. The Bundesreichsheer is considering intervention in the potential conflict involving Kriegmoglichkeiten International. Military action is being offered in support of New Azura in the likely Conglomerate-Steel Pact war to come.
    Strata of Command: If the Chancellor is killed, the rule is immediately passed to the General of the Army. If she is killed, it passes to the Minister of Law. If she dies, it passes down to Parliament to decide what to do. If all of Parliament is killed, then the highest ranking army officers take over; the state thus becomes either a permanent or interim military state.
    Military Focus: We prefer large armies, but we are more subtle in our usage of them. Rarely do we simply attack, with a formal declaration of war and other pleasantries. We focus on infiltrating enemies, and destroying them from the inside either politically or militarily.

    Economic Situation: Currently, the economy is stabilizing from a serious, long-term depression. It is estimated full recovery will take years, but living conditions are approaching modernity.
    Currency Rate, per International Dollar: One (1) New Bundesmark is now worth five dollars and twenty cents (5.20) in international currency. Subject to change.
    Hand, or Voice: Voice.

    Representative: Doctor Edward Yang (Aufmainz)
      Medical Issues, Record of Violence, Miscellaneous:
      Dr. Yang is currently married with a single child; his grandfather was an immigrant from China, and thus he has a slight accent in his speech. He requests to bring his child into the Conglomerate's meetings.


    Additional Notes: None.

    By entering and signing upon the line, I give the Conglomerate permission to file away the entry for bookkeeping. The entry, as per Conglomerate minor Law, will under no circumstances, save for written, spoken and signed permission of the ruling Head of State of said nation (with said nation representing the representing state of the signatory), divulge information to any other members of the Conglomerate or third Party States or organizations.

A large, intimidating chunk of applications.

Five applicants, with 22 members and 2 IA (the old VC), putting up at a voter headcount of 20.

11 required for majority. Remember, abstaining to vote, if it's a large amount, will revert voting to the plural majority: if there's a large number of abstains (close to or more than 1/3, then the plural majority - whichever has more votes, 'aye' or 'nay', regardless of physical majority - will count).

Prospect vote is always open.

I will cast my vote as 'aye' for all of them to begin the process - please update the headcount as we go on, that'd make my life alot easier.

Gratislavia: 1-0-0

Nation Name: The Imperio Ultramar of New Lusitaniagrad

Leader: Emperor Afonso de Borgonha

Type of Government: New Lusitaniagrad is an Absolute Monarchy, with a hereditary monarch, and a bicameral parliament. While all political power rests solely on the Monarch's head, he is assisted in governing The Greater Lusitanian Empire by the Conselho dos Nobres (Council of Nobles) which is the upper house of the Parliament. Each Councilor is elected by that noble house's patriarchs and represents his family, or house in the Imperial Government. The lower house of Parliament is the Parlamento Geral (General Parliament). Members of the PG (Representatives) do not have to be members of a noble house or family, but are elected to represent their administrative district by that district's people. It should be noted however that while the Parliament may create laws based on the needs of their constituents, The Emperor has the final say and may veto any decisions passed by the Parliament


Number of Civil Wars within the Past Three Decades: We had one minor republican revolt several years ago but it was put down in a matter of weeks.
Military Activities: The Steel Pact Unified Defense Corps
Strata of Command:
1. The Emperor
2. The Prince
3. The Queen

Military Focus: We maintain a decent standing army. As well as several paramilitary militias.

Economic Situation: We are doing rather well. Most of the Industry is still controlled by the guilds of old.
Currency Rate, per International Dollar: According to NS Calculator it is 1 Imperial Sovereign = $1.8166, but I pegged my Imperial Pound to the RL UK Pound.

Hand, or Voice: [Are you a Value A or Value B member?] Voice

Representative: Lord Celso de Braganza
Medical Issues, Record of Violence, Miscellaneous: None


Additional Notes: I currently run the steel pact, but I am not doing this just to run and hide in your pocket. I realize now that any organization when compared to The Conglomerate, is a speck of dust in NS history.

Application Form

    Nation Name: Bundesrepublik Großrheinland Reich
    Leader: Federal Chancellor Justus Himmelreich, Chancellor of the Rheinlander Republic and Lord President of the East Asian Confederacy.
    Type of Government: Corporatist partisan federal republic with non-voting autonomous territories.

    Number of Civil Wars within the Past Three Decades: There have been no civil wars; however, perhaps the almost armed conflicts that happened during the class struggles of the 1990s could be considered as a war. As well as that, the Swiss Pillages of 1983 caused rioting and looting almost amounting to war, with many stealing Great War-era tanks and destroying everything in sight. It took thousands of brave men to put this riot down, almost half of which fell during then.
    Military Activities: There have been no recent events relating to the military. The Bundesreichsheer is considering intervention in the potential conflict involving Kriegmoglichkeiten International. Military action is being offered in support of New Azura in the likely Conglomerate-Steel Pact war to come.
    Strata of Command: If the Chancellor is killed, the rule is immediately passed to the General of the Army. If she is killed, it passes to the Minister of Law. If she dies, it passes down to Parliament to decide what to do. If all of Parliament is killed, then the highest ranking army officers take over; the state thus becomes either a permanent or interim military state.
    Military Focus: We prefer large armies, but we are more subtle in our usage of them. Rarely do we simply attack, with a formal declaration of war and other pleasantries. We focus on infiltrating enemies, and destroying them from the inside either politically or militarily.

    Economic Situation: Currently, the economy is stabilizing from a serious, long-term depression. It is estimated full recovery will take years, but living conditions are approaching modernity.
    Currency Rate, per International Dollar: One (1) New Bundesmark is now worth five dollars and twenty cents (5.20) in international currency. Subject to change.
    Hand, or Voice: Voice.

    Representative: Doctor Edward Yang (Aufmainz)
      Medical Issues, Record of Violence, Miscellaneous:
      Dr. Yang is currently married with a single child; his grandfather was an immigrant from China, and thus he has a slight accent in his speech. He requests to bring his child into the Conglomerate's meetings.


    Additional Notes: None.

    By entering and signing upon the line, I give the Conglomerate permission to file away the entry for bookkeeping.

Nation Name: The Metal Head Oligarchy of Wewtlandem
Leader: Howard Jonesworth, Phillip LaGrue, Adam D., Jonny Davvy, Tim Lambesis
Type of Government: Our nation is currently under a Communist Oligarchy. This form of government helps to disperse corruption, and make it minimal through a system of power, that distributes the power amongst five members of the High Council. Even then, these men do not have all of the power, as there are lower level government officials that can gather power, but rarely do.

Number of Civil Wars within the Past Three Decades: Three. As of current, Wewtlandem's economy has only improved, and his a behemoth for how small the nation is. Currently the biggest in it's region, with multiple nations of a considerably greater population. Socially, Wewtlandish citizens are happy being ruled by the five men that run the nation.
Military Activities: As of the time this application has been sent, no wars are currently in play.
Strata of Command: High Council > Military Command > Regional Councils > Regional Managers > City Councils > City Managers. To insure that the situation never gets past Military Command, random searches, and other things are instituted to prevent any sort of terrorism and social disdain. Also, curfews and marshal law can be easily enacted within hours, as strategic command and a well armed police force provide easy control of the civilian population.
Military Focus: Wewtlandem specializes in Special Operations, such as covert operations, in and outs, with no trace of evidence left as to that the men were there. Of course, this leaves much to be desired. That is why Wewtlandem has one of the most advanced land forces in the world. The men are all well trained in every area of combat, especially open warfare, in snowy regions or fields.

Economic Situation: Well. The Wewtlandish economy is a giant compared to most nations of its size.
Currency Rate, per International Dollar: 1 Wewt Pound = $1.34 USD
Hand, or Voice: Hand

Representative: Adam D.
Medical Issues, Record of Violence, Miscellaneous: Adam is always into new forms of metal, and when he goes to different nations, he loves to study their history of music, and see if, and if so how, they evolved to their brand of metal.

Additional Notes: N/A

Military Activities: None at the moment, however may be dragged into an alliance wide war with the SEC against other members of the conglomerate.

Strata of Command: The head of the military is run by the King. If the king dies, it goes down the line of succession. If the line runs out, then the Prime Minister takes over. If he dies, it goes down the cabinet. If they die, then the military directly takes over until the war has passed.

Military Focus: The Military of The Matthew Islands is spread across 4 Branches. The Army, is the largest branch, consisting or several divisions able to deploy overseas at a moments notice, and is able to deploy anywhere in the home islands at a moments notice. The navy is the second biggest branch, employing numerous warships to defend the home islands and colonies. The Air-force while the 3rd biggest branch, is still powerful, having almost 3 thousand fighters, and 4000 Fighter bombers. The military intelligent service consists of MI6 which deals with foreign espionage and MI5 which deals with domestic espionage. While not being the biggest, it is extremely active, having numerous deep covert agents in several countries, and has run a successful deep cover campaign against terrorism in The Matthew Islands.

Economic Situation: The economy is currently thriving at a record high.
Currency Rate, per International Dollar: Current exchange rate: G$1 = $1.7305

Current Tally as of all responses down to Solarva;

Gratislavia: 4-1-8
Wewtlandem: 2-1-10
The Matthew Islands: 2-0-11
New Lusitaniagrad: 4-1-8
Grossrheinland Reich: 6-0-7

I've counted Brew's votes for Prospecthood as Abstains.

With this so far, it looks as if The Matthew Islands has been officially rejected.

This means a majority "Nay" has been achieved for both Wewtlandem and The Matthew Islands.

Reports of my death were greatly exaggerated. However, rumours of my retirement were not.
