Should my nation's magic-detecting radars be able to detect Madoka? I mean, she should be emitting enormous amounts of magical energy, being Madokami after all. Probably on par with Eila Jaakola or, theoretically, Saint Morgan, whose appearance I haven't quite pinned down yet.

You should work that outwith Wolf.

But she's Madokami. Wouldn't she know how to control her power? For the radar operators, it may look like residual magic when she suppresses it, if not entirely indistinguishable. Though, this has more to do with showing Daniel she's not here to crucify him. If anything, why couldn't they detect him?

This is my edited Apps now.

Name: The Greater Qing Empire of Minroz
Head of State: Holy Emperor Tesisuri Merrmesh
Head of Government: Chancellor Jiang Yingshen
Government type: Theocratic Semi-constitutional Monarchy
Territory (what RL nation/nations does your nation consist of): China, Central Asia, Afghanistan, Northern India, Turkey, Iran, Parts of Middle-East, South-East Asia, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Somalia, Kenya
Foreign policy: Neutral-Aggressive, semi-isolationists
Military branches:
- Imperial Minrozian Army
- Imperial Minrozian Air Fleet
- Imperial Minrozian Navy
- Imperial Witch Division
- Minrozian Airborne Infantry
- Imperial Minrozian Naval Infantry,
- Territorial Militia
- Internal Security and Quarantine Forces

Nation background in brief:
The Oldest nation in the world, stretching to the tips of Anatolia to the mainland Far East, Minroz is a massive, ancient land ruled by the hereditary monarchy of Mongol, Manchu, Persian, Turkic and Chinese nobility, which have gradually become synonymous with each other. The authority of the Holy Minrozian Emperor is unquestioned and absolute.

Minroz is a vast theocratic society, supported by broad foundations of Clan mega-corporations, sprawling patchworks of vassal nations and semi-independent allied states. For five millennia, it’s always the leading civilization, outpacing the rest of the world in science and arts. It’s dominance in Asia is unrivalled and unchallenged, enjoying its glorious status as an ancient superpower but these days are long gone. Minroz’s history has since been turbulent, with challenges by rebellions, natural disasters, corruption, separatism and lately, foreign incursions in its territories, not to mention humiliated by ‘upstart foreign barbarians’ and losing their original homeland Mongolia, only to be occupied by ancestors of Hetland, a sore subject for many today Minrozians.

This awakened the Minrozian people to the possibility that they might become just another province in one western empire or another, leading them to pursue a massive modernization program under the visionary leadership of their new Emperor, Altanmurr Merrmesh Khan.

With this revitalized spirit, the Minrozian nation experienced a revival, fuelled by a yearning for the golden age of the Minrozian Empire. However, in the 1830s they came to realize further expansion would come at a price, which would need to be paid in new lands and resources. The Emperor wisely chose to turn his steadily growing armies westwards and northwards, allying with the peoples of the Himalayas and Central Asia to begin a massive campaign of expansion throughout the Middle East, South-East Asia and Northern India while simultaneously absorbing the failing Empires of the Ottomans and Persia. With its newly-developed, modernised navy, the Minrozians conquered parts of East Africa, Sri Lanka and Philippines.

By 1855, the new Minrozian Empire would stretch from her homeland to Central Asia and Northern India, reaching to the border of the Ottoman Empire, then occupying central Iraq. By then, European armies had overrun the Balkans and were now looking to add the Turkish mainland to their list of conquests, and so the Ottomans were forced to turn to these newcomers in hopes of working out a deal to save their nation.

The gambit worked perfectly, though at a cost. In return, the Minrozians gained the foothold they needed in the Ottoman government to begin the assimilation of Turkish lands, formally annexing them and transferring all but regional governmental administrative powers from Istanbul to Zhongyang in 1911.

The death of the Great Emperor in 1878 was met with a week of mourning still honoured in Minrozian lands to this very day, though his passing paved the way for new constitutional reforms in Zhongyang, leading to a balance of power struck between a Grand Council of Lords, selected from various lands under the Empire’s control, and the Emperors’ successors.

Today, the Qing Empire is ruled by the benevolent yet autocratic Merrmesh Clan, also known as the Golden Family. By virtue of its sheer size of their territory and population, the Minrozian Empire is capable of fighting several entire nations at once. However, Minroz is having troubles in many of its conquered territories by local rebels and half of the Empire’s populations are in state of poverty, mostly in colonial territories because of extensive military conquests and brutal suppression of the dissent. Therefore, dismissing the thoughts of her future expansion and focusing on national developments instead. Not only that, competing with Western powers and her Eastern Neighbors.

Despite this, under the leadership of the idealistic new Emperor Tesisuri, the Minrozian Qing Empire is still one of the most technology-advanced and modernized nations on Earth, fielding the largest army ever to march across its surface and holding the dubious honour of being one of the nations, known to possessing most nuclear weapons.

They'd assume he's just another Witch.

And while I see your point, they'd probably be suspicious, as many other high-power Witches suppress their power, the Queen, the Princess, and Erica Hartmann among them, and it'd look pretty similar to what they would be seeing.

Hmm... Well, in any case, the sudden appearance of another 'witch' on radar would be suspicious nonetheless. We'll just leave it at low-level witch power.

That said, what're you going to do with Gabriel? I have to warn you, the Neuroi aren't going to be the only threat in this world for long.

Accepted, mind you the bigger your military the lower your GOP per soldier. Meaning less equipment, supplies, weaponry etc. This also means your military is gonna have less technologically advanced equipment.

My nation has about 360 million people in it and a military of around 1.5 million personnel including army, navy, air force, and coast guard and being 100% neutral they all act as reservists. Our government spends around 18% of its budget on the military. The government budget is huge considering our tax rate of 95% (people don't complain because so many things in life are free). Which means our GDP per soldier is extremely high. Which means we can afford to give every soldier top of the line Finorskian equipment, arm our army with the best tanks, our air force with the best fighter planes, and our navy with the best ships.

There is also the bit about nukes. They are expensive to build and maintain. Finorskia also doesn't posses nuclear weapons. Which is more money we can spend on our equipment and training.

Basically what I'm trying to tell you is the bigger your military, the less training, and the less equipment per soldier.

Edit: Here is what I mean by the GDP per soldier being higher with a smaller military. Using our actual nation statistics and the NS tracker. The following is jut the army and not the other branches.

Your army: 168,989,516 men
GDP per soldier: $270,949 dollars

My army: 5,999,760 men
GDP per soldier: $2,894,344 dollars

I'm starting to think we just nee plotting to move around now, Wolf I know enough japanese to know what Madokami means, clever name.

It's incredible the number of anime and games that brings kami at a certain point. I haven't seen Puella Magi but in terms of dieing for our sin I have already a faved one, and it's totally no her.

If you know me you know who I'm talking about. HIM.

I've been trying to move the plot along as much as possible, but I need people to respond to my posts.

[Wolfenium]

Fin, you did accept Minroz... right?...

[Finorskia]

Fin, you did accept Minroz... right?...

Yes. I did it over TG though. One way you can tell is that fact that I'm not chewing Min out right now.

[Wolfenium]

Good point. I should edit the map later. Would you prefer having a risk-style map or is the present one fine?

I think the present is fine since I don't really plan us to be fighting each other.

Great. I didn't really feel like using the Victoria 2 template anyway. The squares are agonizing to fill...

[Firstaria]

So, when Madokami is gonna answer me?

Also, since we are in anime godly fervor, a minute of pray for HIM.

Later. I'm being bored to death in a lecture here. And pardon me for asking, but who's HIM? The only person I can think of is that crab-person from - god-forbid - the Powerpuff Girls...

[Firstaria]

NOT THAT YOU FOOL.

I'm talking of Minato Arisato, who died for our sin.

[Wolfenium]

NOT THAT YOU FOOL.

I'm talking of Minato Arisato, who died for our sin.

*headdesk*

Sorry, I've never played Persona 3, or any of the series' games before. Haven't owned a console for years.

[Firstaria]

Well all you need to know is that he not only died for our sin, he's still suffering to rpotect us from them.

He's pretty much the closest thing to Jesus ever created by Japan.

[Finorskia]

Hey Fris. You have to respond to Rup.

[Firstaria]

I'm pretty sure I did, did I?

[Mitakihara Town]

No, Kyuubey, you are still a demon rabbit. Therefore, you must still die and I still wish you a painful death.

[Hetland 2]
