I'm curious, who want to be paid a visit by these guys?

Man needs full size on that it's gorgeous. tinypic makes it too tiny.

[Khorsun]

What are the dates you have in mind of that?

I'm wondering if I should just get a zeppelin or something for future travel between Khorsun and Puerto Saulo.

A zeplin?! We won't be building facilities to accommodate anything as silly as that.

The dates however, who knows. Probably this month soon. The gears in my head are turning, so a post will manifest itself eventually.

Mooring mast wont take up much space.

Or maybe I'll get a flying boat.

Yes embrace airships and do not bother with helium it is a trifle gas. Use hydrogen. Yes...

Oh the huge manatee!

Seriously though, airships are cool. Imagine regular zeppelin routes from Khorsun to La Plata, giving Canal 9 News the opportunity to run a week of special reports dedicated to the glorious new Elizondo-class passenger dirigible. What, did you really think that the government would be building them? The design will boast lots of special hatches and crawlspaces for...luggage. Yes, it can be described as a type of luggage.

See this is why we can't have nice things.

At least a post will be up from me later today (it's currently 4 AM EST as of this post), I've come off a binge reading from a few books and I've got ideas in my head again, sorry for the lack of stuff.

Hopefully you didn't read yourself into Carcosa, that would be scary.

Speaking of reading if anyone has read this book below is there a plot? Will I know what's going to happen? Will it all make sense?

Felix's tendrils get everywhere I see!

You might be giving him too much credit. Please, continue

In a weird parallel to certain events, I've recently had a series of six linked issues where Marimaia was invading neighbouring 'Brasilistan'. There might be more to the series depending on your choices in each one, I wound up going:

Massive military recruitment -> carpet bombing -> missile strikes against military targets -> special forces assassination campaign -> colonising -> full citizenship for surviving Brasilistanis.

[Amigard]

Has there ever been any discussion about the flow of drugs/narcotics globally in E2? Given this community's tendency to analyze just about everything I can't imagine that there never has been; in fact I thought that it had come up a few years back but I don't know what the final disposition was if it did. If so, where would I find this discussion? it would be helpful to me in developing my current thread so that I can determine which borders need to be watched the closest and develop policies.

[Estainia]

I assume it comes mostly out of Mexico (thanks to Layarteb basically crippling it with cartels out the ass) and now apparently Bavin, there are other places as well obviously, there wouldn't be any single nation with a monopoly in the drug trade IMO, the nature of narcotics' illegality makes that insensible. The closest "problem" spot to you isn't a problem really, the Kingdom of Dalmasca maintains that heroin is legal for private use by citizens and the Royal Government regulates its manufacture and distribution to the nth degree.

I want these just to be evil.

Senegambia would probably be a major transit zone for the Importation of drugs in the region, although this may be too far away to affect you over in the Middle East, depending on how you would get that Platinian candy

This could work to the Middle East actually but also keep in mind that no one has conquered Afghanistan so the poppies are a growing. I do believe Hi No Moto has corporations exporting heroin from the Golden Triangle.

If he does they likely have loyal customers in Dalmasca.

I really don't know where I'm going with this story anymore - it's definitely past what the intention was - but I don't hate it.

yeah that's true it would probably be a lot easier for drugs to flow eastwards to Amigard especially if they are receiving state support, still if the Western Hemisphere drug trade grows I could see it reaching the middle east through a transahara route

also Estainia that could be quite a comfortable is somewhat controversial relationship for Dalamasca (importing heroin from corrupt Senegambian officials and warlords!oh my )

Why assume controversy? We are not white knights, we do not care if you are corrupt etc. Your corruption does not affect Dalmasca so it is not controversial.

About these corrupt Senegambian officials and warlords...

Do they take payment in cash, drugs, women, men, all-expenses-paid vacations, or hugs?

Ya Yutani Corporation regulates and exports vast quantities of heroin from the Golden Triangle ... obviously there is still illegal stuff and shit.
