Behind the Tiger's Curtain [CLOSED]

Wait, communists aren't supposed to take bribes, what the hell?

Not bribes.

Political donations.

Sometimes, capitalist pig has to be exploited to stop exploitation by capitalist pigs.

Lol

Wtf that's stupid

[Bruke]

Sorry for the delay- finals are rolling in for the next two weeks.

I’ll try and get a brief post up ASAP though.

unfortunately this is essentially all of Philippine Communist history in a nutshell

I don't care what history is like. Communism is all about selflessness, empowering the weak and serving the poor. I know it's your nation in your world, but at least do it right. Unless of course, your nation's version of "communism" explicitly allows bribing in their ideological tenets, which I don't really get how that would be ideal.

I mean, look at me. Amenria is an Islamic theocracy and there's no prosecution of Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, or other legitimate religions because that's how Islamic theocracy works, never mind what happened in Iran or the Middle East.

It doesn't allow bribery, obviously, but PAS isn't some grand utopia; else RPs would be boring.

The Factbooks are propaganda; RPs are where I illustrate how PAS actually is lmao.

Ofc, steps are being taken to reduce corruption but you also have to consider the vastness of the nation to know that it isn't going to instantly disappear.

Huh...so you purposely use what ideological opponents of your views say to spice up RPs? Strange. Considering it's an island country, it would be understandable irl tho. Sorry for the delay, I'm definitely posting today please hope I don't procrastinate even further.

@Anglomir, sorry for late response, but yeaaahhhhh PAS doesn't use electric credits in the traditional sense to pay for things; we're Socialist. We use Labor Vouchers. Essentially, they're destroyed when used and the transaction is reported to the National Bank, essentially, to ensure that nobody accidentally creates privatized Capitalism by paying someone to do work for a person not elected by the government.

Black markets easily exploit this by making counterfeit notes or digital counterfeit credits, which, for simplicity's sake, I'll assume you did.

It'll take a little hacking, essentially, I'll assume you cloned a few LVs in Bo and Maru's account so it's the same effect, sort of. No need to change anything. Just something to take note of as we go along.

Crap, my bad. Also, crap - I didn't realise you'd responded! Okay, gotta go to bed, but I'll do my best to get a post out tomorrow

Ah, that's fine. As always, don't feel pressured to respond too quickly, I need to sleep as well and I might be gone tomorrow.

Take Miss Yoo's apology as both IC and OOC.

[Bruke]

Long post with lots of backstory, but hopefully that’s welcomed.

More than welcome. Nice post; that's a lot of military engagements.

I'll try to get some of mine to interact with yours before the Muang Xai mission.

I hope someone's there to accept or dismiss my sniper's apology too.

Nah, it’s not a lot, it’s just 40 straight years of conflict.

You see now why I’m retconning population and such....

[Anglomir]

Apologies, most likely wont get my post out tonight as I had planned, but will do my best

[Bruke]

Right then. Technology technology... trying to figure out what level of PMT tech the Brukeans would be at without making it obnoxious. I only really fleshed that out in terms of civilian tech.

Any ideas?

PAS? Anybody?

I was thinking robotic exoskeletons for the personnel and humanoid -or smaller- sentry robots.

Not looking for the big robot sentries obviously.

Also, as a note regarding timing, going forward posts will be shorter and more to the point- finals week (also known as the Academic Apocalypse- see what I did there? ) is upon me.

[Vonein]

Sorry for not posting, finals have been rough. My first post will come out tonight or early tomorrow.

You know the military is serious when they start using mechas.

Deathfall! You come to our aid at our hour of need! ACCEPTED.

It'd be cool to finally use the Deathfall embassy in Neo-Manila.

Well you don't need any

But actually the PAS mechas are a niche aspect of the Army, our Air Force is pretty shit. Maybe you could provide VTOLs?

*p o l i c e

I'm taking inspiration from Illang: The Wolf Brigade. This may also be the start of long reforms to create a quasi-The Black Party level paramilitary association.

Eh, we'll see where this goes.

Ah, I was under the assumption PMT means "mechas mechas AI more mechas" everywhere.... then again the last PMT nation I interacted with had OP gundam robots that could fly..... or something like that.

As for the italics, I (quickly) looked up things and realized American special ops and other nations special ops are now doing the whole exoskeleton thing so I figured, why the heck not, Im always fleshing out the military anyways and it would make sense.

You're in luck, almost our whole Air Force is V/STOL and VTOL, and what's better, it's all GREEN- green meaning running on biofuels instead of fossil fuels, energy efficient so as to use even less fuel, and quiet as a mouse in response to civilian noise pollution standards and military requirements. Would you care for some stealth helicopters, friend?

Don't get me wrong, the Mechas are more of aesthetic additions to combat. They're basically tall tanks.

And no, shooting the joints does not work. That's where the thickest armor is.

But yeah lezgo Camp Cao Kun has a small airstrip and some hangars.
