[The Cardwith Islands]

We are appreciative of your effort. A few helpful things I'd like to point out. You have listed one division, but the makeup of that division is 15 regiments (approx. 75,000). One military division is about 10,000-12,000 personnel, and that's full strength. So, your division is actually close to a small army corps.

If that's what you want to contribute and can afford to do so, I'm not going to stop you, but keep in mind that depending on your RP population and military size, that could be stripping away a good portion of your defense. Please also be aware that the ISVC cannot be guaranteed to be on your doorstep in case of attack, including your contributions to it. Just want you to be aware of all the facts before you make your final commitment.

I believe we're using different definitions of a regiment. I took volunteer regiments to be about battalion sized (800-1000 soldiers) like in French Foreign Legion. That would make size of said division to be actually close to 15 000 troops.

Alright, that sounds more reasonable, but can a nation with only a population of 8 million (what you wrote for RP pop in the ISC thread) still afford to part with that many troops?

Meh, sure. They are volunteer corps anyway. I'm basically giving up what would have served as my reserve. Also,Makhnovia is not threatened in any way at the moment and ISVC is an important alliance for Makhnovia from diplomatic viewpoint.

We urge the members of the ISVC to send troops in the liberation of Palestine from the Zionist regime entity.

[Satan Hate Bears]

Uh, hello.

Do you accept nations outside of MT?

[The Cardwith Islands]

Uh, hello.

Do you accept nations outside of MT?

The ISVC will be a force used by the ISC to intervene to save socialist nations and bolster socialist revolutions in other nations. The problem is that we have no intention to join RPs that are not MT-PMT at this time. For that reason, Future tech contributions will do us no good as we wouldn't be able to use them in the RPs we seek to join. Unless you're willing to work in MT, it probably won't work. Sorry.

I see. I get the feeling that our FT wouldn't be any more accepted by being hard SF; e.g. things that are completely plausible scientifically speaking, such as coil guns, ablative armor, electric-powered tanks, and robotic infantry. Unfortunately, there's not much we could do MT-wise. All of our lore is in the far future. We straight up didn't exist as a country in MT-times. (We also don't have a single human in our military. It's nothing but robots and computers, so...)

Very well. Thank you for your time.

It is unfortunate, but we don't have the structure in place to make a multi-tech tiered organization right now. Thanks for your interest, anyway. You're welcome to make a similar FT socialist force. I'd be curious to see its fruition.
