2015: Wind of Change [MT, IC, Open]

[Crockerland]

The 3rd Hellenic Republic declares a state of war against the Albanian people, declaring that to give Greece a hope of staying independent, then they must make measures to appropriate defensable land. The war begins with Greece sending 10k troops into Albania, quickly annexing their land. Soon after,m the senate passes a bill massively increasing military spending.

You can't conquer an entire nation that quickly.

A non-player nation? Ok. I will edit.

[The Manticoran Empire]

Following a civil war in 1956, a communist regime rose in Nigeria. In 1977, an organization known as The Nigerian Liberty Front, backed by the United States and NATO, began a revolt against the regime. In 1983, after six years of war, the NLF succeeded in removing the communists from power. The new government created close ties with a number of US and European companies and began a large scale expansion of their armed forces. By 2015, the Nigerian Empire has become the dominant force in the region, it's only real potential rivals being Angola and South Africa. With a population of nearly 300 million people and a military of 18,432,000, Nigeria is poised to become a superpower. Starting in 2005, the government began replacing the coal and oil power plants with nuclear, geothermal, and solar power.

Really not conquered. Just a smash and grab. Could still hold resistance forces.

I don't remember accepting you, in fact I think I specifically pointed out your unreasonably high population.

[Gyrenaica]

How about a population of 180,000,000

Also, you economy would die if you had that large an army

Would be happier if I had an unreasonably LOW population? What is your problem with me?

You continuously godmod and go apeshit whenever anyone points it out.

Apparently my very existence is a godmod.

Just a slight decrease to 180,000,000 won't hurt you. Also, your economy would be destroyed with that large a military.

[Genyulan]

The money from Pakistan has been transferred successfully into US treasury. The shipment of vehicles is underway and due to be delivered completely to Pakistan within 1 month.

No, it wouldn't. Am I the only one here who knows what the Reserve Military is?

No, it wouldn't. Am I the only one here who knows what the Reserve Military is?

Yes, you're the only one who understands what reserve military, fun, and alternate mean, any criticism of your extensive godmodding and owerpowering is a direct insult against you personally, and having people actually die in war is unreasonable.[/sarcasm]

[Genyulan]

If it's reserve... You still have to pay them. You call them up for active duty, and you're bankrupt.

[The Manticoran Empire]

No. I'm not. Jesus. You must realize that if the reserves are called up, you're probably already screwed. A reserve force is only called up if active units are overwhelmed. And that isn't even what has me ticked. What has me ticked is that every single thing I have posted has been shot down as a godmod. EVERYTHING! It seems that I can't do anything right. NOTHING! DO YOU REALIZE THIS? YOU ARE ALL MAKING ME OUT TO BE SOME SORT OF CHEAT! ALL I'M TRYING TO DO IS HAVE FUN AND YOU CAN'T LET ME DO THAT! What is the deal? I'm the only one who is consistently shot down. No one else is even capable of making a mistake and I can't do anything right. Tell me why? Why can't I do anything right? WHY? WHHHHYYYYYYYY?

[Genyulan]

I'm not trying to shoot you down. I'm trying to help you stay strong. Having a large ass reserve force don't mean you're powerful. If you call them up, it gets pretty bad. Of course it'd take lots to destroy your active duty, I agree.

Ugh. I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at other people.

Having way more population so that you can just instakill everyone else isn't fun. You're the only one consistently shot down because when we tell Nova Caelston not to instaconquer a country he just says okay and edits his post, but when we tell you not to have a fuckton of people you change nations and godmod to try to still get a fuckton of people. And yes it's definitely Godmodding to have just gone on a conquest of hundreds of millions of people and then not have the populations of all countries involved lowered drastically.

Thirty years went by between the civil war and the present. Again, reproduction. And why must it be wars? Annexations are always possible, particularly in the wake of a coup.

Besides that, I have edited I don't even know how many posts. I have altered so many things to try and make you people happy. Nothing has. You just call everything I do a godmod. I haven't instaconquered a country. When you pointed out the issues with my Persian assaults, I explained how they worked and then complied with a REASONABLE target change. I never just up and said, "Persia conquers all of Kazahkstan in three minutes with 50 billion people because this is the internet and I can do that stuff on the internet." You are not even trying to make my ideas work. All you ever do is say, "No. Never will work. Godmod." That is all I hear from you. Every single day I have been here, all I have heard is, "Godmod. Godmod. Godmod. Godmod. GODMOD!" Explain to me in exact detail how everything I do is a godmod and then I will change. But until you explain in EXACT detail my godmodding, I will continue to be a pain in the ass.

[Crockerland]

Okay, I'll lay out each and every Godmod you've committed on the OOC thread.

OOC: Expect a lengthy post tomorrow afternoon.

New Leader Arises in Serbia!
In Serbia, a new leader has just taken power, and claims in his speech, held in Belgrade earlier today "Comrades, our Yugoslavia has fallen to the rotten Western Regime. The 100's of years of struggle, turmoil, and war, all gone from a capitalist invasion. Today, begins the beginning of a brighter future.". His name, would be Nikola Kosovic.

So far, President Kosovic has raised military spending & funding over 30%. More information on presidential plans will be updated as time passes.

Congratulations to the Yugoslavian comrades from President Berlinguer, the countries of Yugoslavia and Italy will be great allies.

Helsinki, Finland
Rudolph looked over the reports now piling on his desk. "Good god. The annexation of all of Scandinavia by the Netherlands. And they will probably look to taking us over next. And the wars in the Middle East have ravaged the whole area." He sighed; "At least some more communists have popped up." He began to sign documents recognizing the new government of Serbia, and condemn the Dutch invasions of Norway and Sweden.

Meanwhile, the Finnish army was being mobilized on the Swedish and Norwegian borders. Army Groups North, Central, and Reserve North have been stationed on those borders, and Army Groups Helsinki, South, and Reserve South were being mobilized. There had also been a call to arms, requesting 300,000 troops to volunteer. Considering the population of Finland is only 7 million, this has been considered a futile task, but the Finnish Government insists anyway.

Moscow, U.S.S.R.
Max walked into the Russian government building, mentally preparing himself for his meeting with the leader of the Soviet Union. In his briefcase he had a short list of points he wanted to agree to with him:

-Soviet support in a Dutch war of aggression against Finland
-Finnish troops(up to 200,000),aircraft, and navies will be pledged to Soviet military operations if needed
-Finland will set up communist governments in Scandinavia if those countries are liberated from the Dutch

Angola has formally withdrawn from both the Non-Aligned Movement and African Union today, joining South Sudan and the unrecognized state of Western Sahara as the only nations in Africa which are not part of the Non-Aligned Movement, and Morocco as the only African nations not in the African Union.
Tensions between Angola and both groups have been high ever since Angola began openly supporting the Anti-Balakas, who now control almost half of the Central African Republic.

Angola's military overhaul and recruiting campaign is paying off, with 710,724 total military personnel, a force larger than that of Thailand or Israel, but smaller than that of Iran or Singapore, though only 342,982 are active-duty soldiers.
(Note: Angola already had a significantly larger military than it does IRL due to the oil vacuum created by the caliphate)
