How do they expect to visit both Kas and Oros? Not really good way to leave good impression in either of them if you visited a hated enemy of theirs before or after.

Also, I have an alternative plan if Saunrea really isn't a destination of point.

[Saunrea]

Also, should we have regional sports games?

Yelton is a rural village located in the middle of the mountains, comprising a commune populated by 142 citizens. Not really a valuable target.

[Kontinovad]

Shiggy doo.

Also quick reference for the noobs

Renovationism = Fix the institution and respect it heavily
>Tradition, Nationalism, Romanticism, maybe Fascism
>Aesthetic usually goes for something stripped classical, romanticist

Futurism = Just destroy them smh it fucking sucks we can replace it with something better.
>Modernism, Technocracy, Progressivism, sometimes Totalitarianism
>Aesthetic is usually very modern, constructivist, sometimes uniform

Pick your poison.

[Saunrea]

Also keep in mind renovationism produces a 'national solution' appropriate to where it is applied as the primary method of saving that nation and its constituents; the production of this solution requires evaluation, analysis and reference of a nation's state, people, national spirit (culture, religion, etc.), past, future and determination (hexagon of renovationism, reasoning behind six-point star on Saunrea's national emblem). Usually the national solution is a reactionary totalitarian state but in other cases, if the culture can be preserved like that, it can be a bit more liberal (see Schoeninsel/Free Bica).

If neither the national solution or the evaluation and analysis of the Hexagon is done then it's just plain generic fascism.

I figured I'd tag the GD thread at long last. I'm planning to step into the Mandakh-Timuri War as soon as I can make sense of the political forces at play. I'm thinking it'll involve Princess Milawsha Yagates traveling over mountains like a modern day Hannibal Barca on a personal quest for glory. The world needs more brutal warrior princesses. I'm just filling that need.

[Akiramori]

Some possible RP Threads to test for interest.

Boulea on the Edge - Terrorists bomb a film festival in South Boulea. Various groups point fingers at each other, and as tensions rise, South Boulea activates its pact with the Typhoon Islands Partnership, and TIP sends ground forces to reinforce the border. This sets off Renovationists in one of the other Bouleas, and unaligned factions in one of the others. Spies may attempt to set conditions for a devastating war to undermine one faction or another.

Kessler's Dagger - A satellite launched by Akiramori is discovered to be an anti-satellite weapons platform by foreign intelligence services. As this has the potential to render Low Earth Orbit unusable if actually activated, they work to get of it, either overtly or covertly. Simultaneously, other space things may be happening.

Death of a Diplomat - A senior Albisles diplomat is killed at an international conference in an area managed by the Elprus UN - only whose responsibility security is is not clearly defined. Nations rush to find who was responsible and/or frame each other for it.

Three Hands - Anti-Semitic Muslim Nationalists join with Anarcho-Communist White Supremacists and Trans-Exclusionary Radical Lesbian Separatist Feminists, all of which are Eco-terrorists, to form a joint terrorist organization bent destabilizing the global order so that they can take advantage of the resulting chaos and undermine the power of the global ruling class. An actually clever series of terror plots unfolds across every nation, testing the limits of every nation's security forces. As paranoia builds, the world comes to the brink of war.

[Ozena]

I like Death of a Diplomat, but I feel like we still need to do a lot of world-building. Boulea on the Edge sounds cool too, but it makes no real sense for a nation like mine to be overly involved in a foreign war or crisis of that sort. We can barely manage to keep a lid on local affairs just over the border.

As it happens, I'm planning a coronation role-play soon, with much drama to follow.

Meanwhile I'm market gardening Timurbataar in literally one of the largest paratrooper maneuvers in modern history (certainly, it has been dwarfed by summerites and NS pop users before), while assaulting all of his eastern coastal cities with elite naval infantry formations, using the coastal cities and the capital city as terms and conditions for peace. Kek

Sharko, please post. We need to conclude the bridge battle now.

-snip-

The uses of 'the world' here seems to imply too much we're a closed-world region, but that's not really relevant. An 'Elprus UN', like a community of nations in the region?

I can see Kessler still being a threat to the area immediately above regional space, and Saunrea is to launch a manned satellite at the end of the year, so no. 2 definitely has my interest. Bitra to the works.

Boulea has my interest. Renovationists will probably coup the Leninist Boulea since Maoist Boulea can't be cracked from within.

[Kontinovad]

I'm still outlining Futurism and its current place in Elprus.

Renovationists will probably coup the Leninist Boulea since Maoist Boulea can't be cracked from within.

Ey fam u said we were friends before until some time later could Tanhari be a disillusioned Futurist then

[Aztlanypan]

Are we using IIwiki as a base for factbooks or NS itself?

[Aztlanypan]

On another note, I'm looking for an industrial power that would have modernized Aztlanypan in the mid to late 1800s. Sort of Japanese meiji restoration style.

You can choose whichever you are comfortable with. I use gameside since I have a tendency to leave iiwiki articles incomplete.
