Is Russia taken?

I did just post a thing in the IC about the eventual dissolution of Russia, so ah, I’m a bit hesitant on letting people have it this far into the IC.

That and well, this Russia’s not really a global superpower anyway. Heavily weakened ever since the major loss of territory in the late 50’s and basically being in constant struggle for decades.

I can vouch for imps if it’s anything.

I’d let her play Russia if only for the fireworks she’s godlike at setting off.

And how is it dissolving?

Basically, it’ll most likely split into various independent states, with the European part of Russia staying the same. Asian Russia is going to shatter about, leaving stuff like the Urals, Siberia, the Far East, all to their own accord along with Central Asia. Basically a nearly full dissolution.

If you don't want a divided Russia we could really use a China.

eh, rather just take Russia. Even if I have to do a single post reforming it all back together into a new state.

That sounds good too! Just what Japan needs another enemy to the north as it incites tensions with the MDF in the south Pacific.

Unfortunately I’ve had to entirely withdraw my interest in this RP. Cause plot I guess.

Good luck.

Were did the OFS get the materials and date for both the nuclear war heads and the Nike Diana system?

Maybe they have resources or maybe traded for tech, idk

That...does not make sense.

At least not the Nike Hercules missile derivative. I guess he bought it from the Twlechnate?

Well the only thing I dont get right now is that the OFS has a stockpile of hydrogen bombs like how did they made it, even our nation does not have WMDs.

Edit: I think it might be because of the Namibian uranium mines, the first one was made in 1976 according to google so maybe that is how.

Oh no, not just the Technate, but well... another totally not nuclear power.

New Orange Free State is based upon pre-1989 era South Africa. With Israeli help. but South Africa tested an H-bomb in 1979. Vela Incident. The original plan for AA missiles like the Nike series were proximity-fuzed H-bomb war heads to destroy incoming nukes. The ICBM would have been worthless had it be done so.
Nike Diana? Think an upgraded Nike Hercules. Fictional but our 1989 verse. I don't want ICMS or B-52s, but just enough to deter aggression.

Conventionally? Upgraded Centurion tanks are still viable weapons today. The upgraded F-104 is based upon the improved Italian variant that served until 2003. I'm open for discussion

I do wonder if the Ian Smith would get stooped tring to leave South Africa.

You do realize my nation wants to help your, don't you?

Yes, and for that I'm appreciative.

But given your nature your likely.more of a pariah state then I am.

Non-zero chance of MASF fleet intercepting it somewhere along the East African coast, unless you're particularly keen to have it complete its mission

yes, or developed it jointly with the help of the Technate. The South African desert would make an ideal secret testing ground.

Despite the Technate being into research, I think they’d hate you more then Rhodesia would.

The reason why I made a big issue of the Technate putting itself out on the global stage is that it hasn't happened in the past 15 years, or, since the creation of the Technate itself.

All developments and all economic activity have remained firmly within the borders of the Technate, up until this point.

The NAT does not have diplomatic or economic ties to anyone, the most interaction likely being with the PSA considering their remnant status as the USA. Also, considering the economic system has entirely done away with money in the form of the Energy Credit value, it's more likely research would be traded for something seen as equal value.

Outside of minor "business interactions", the Technate has not made any sales, gifts, or trades internationally.

Ideologically, the Free Orange State and the Technate are inherently incompatible, though you are welcome to try to establish such diplomatic and economic ties.

Just letting yall know that im finishing up finals and wont likely have a post out till Tuesday night or early Wednesday

Are you playing as Mozambique and Rhodesia? If so, I will join in your attack on Mozambique.

I am not playing as Mozambique, mostly. Volktrad is.

Join me if you want, I'm not likely to shoot at you.

Inb4 the phantom crews are the sons of displaced Black South Africans.
