[Dentali]

Hi all...I'm leaving this RP. Don't have time to participate. So bye bye Greek Empire...Greece is now open, folks.

sorry bud

[Asardia]

Do we Respond to standalone and series events on the IC thread?

You respond in the IC. You can discuss it the choices here of course, but the main decisions are in the IC

Not sure about Israel, but I telegrammed the USA player, who said they were busy lately. I also got the indication that the following week should have more posting from him, although I don't know.

Ah okay that's good. So in IC if I am making deals with lets say Israel for like military assistance etc what do I do?

As Lemlar said, either the Co Ops or me will take the role of Israel. I'll say that we should follow the path set out by the previous player.

Also you know the Spanish Nationalists would be the ones arriving in NYC right?

The people in charge of the mainland aren't attending?

Hi all...I'm leaving this RP. Don't have time to participate. So bye bye Greek Empire...Greece is now open, folks.

It's unfortunate to see you go.

Name of faction: Malayan Communist Party/Malayan National Liberation Army
Leader: Secretary-General Chin Peng
Influence (number of members and power) 40,000
Base of operations: Northern Areas of the Malayan jungle and Southern Thailand
Goals Overthrow the Malaysian government for a Communist one
History Despite efforts from the Malaysian government and the British, the MCP managed to retreat into the jungle after their defeats in the 1st Malayan emergency licking their wounds and restore their strength for a renewed insurgency.

Name of faction: Malaysia Royal Guard
Leader: Ismail al-Khalidi
Influence (number of members and power) 10,000
Base of operations:Northern Areas of the Malayan jungle and Malaysia-Thai border
Goals Tear down the republic and restore the monarchy and Islam as the state religion
History During the war, Malaya's long list of sultans were killed in the fighting, after the war and formation of the republic, most agreed, all but one. Ismail opposed the dissolution of the royal family and declared himself the legitimate ruler of Malaysia. After a brief skirmish, Ismail and his forces lost. Taking a chunk of the Malaysian Armed forces and loyal members of the Royal guards, Promising his return before disappearing with his followers into the jungles. Ismail would bid his time, building up his forces and influence. He still has allies, who supply him with funds and supplies in preparation for his return.

(This is not going to be my focus, it's more like a preparation for a second Malayan Emergency. A nice little crisis in waiting to be 'fired' in the next 5-10 years.
If anyone wants to take control of either faction, Go ahead. Just tell me.

The apps are accepted.

Yo, what's the difference between the Suez Crisis IRL and the one here?

[Dentali]

Yo, what's the difference between the Suez Crisis IRL and the one here?

Egypt has said "we are nationalizing the canal" but then didn't send troops right away, so Britain just part several hundred thousand troops on it. So its a bit of a standoff that is making Egyptian leadership look impotent

[Asardia]

Am I in the SC currently to replace the Ukraine?

Yes. To my knowledge, Yugoslavia would now be in the SC starting in 1950, but you can have the seat now, as we're only a few months ahead.

is this a real submission? If so pls change everything about it.

The app is missing the history section and you broadly put North America on it. I'm assuming Lemlar also wanted you to change the leaders, as Louis St. Laurent would have been the PM at the time

However it does seem like a WIP so just keep that in mind then

[World Anarchic Union]

Would the matter of Italy being accepted to the UN be put forward? And if so, should I send a representative?

[Asardia]

Would the matter of Italy being accepted to the UN be put forward? And if so, should I send a representative?

According to the UN website:

Any State which desires to become a Member of the United Nations shall submit an application to the Secretary-General. Such application shall contain a declaration, made in a formal instrument, that the State in question accepts the obligations contained in the Charter

So if you haven't already, make it clear in the IC you intend on joining the UN. We can vote on it during the assembly

[Hypron]

I plan to begin construction of my first line of guided missile destroyers by the mid 50s and commissioned by the late 50s, based on the Spruance class of American Guided missile destroyers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spruance-class_destroyer) It will have RIM-8 Talos missiles for surface-to-air targets, 2 5 inch Mk 42 naval guns, and 2 triple torpedo tubes with Mk. 46 torpedoes. I will have better ships under construction by the early 60s. Hopefully I can actually get some anti-ship missiles sooner than the RGM-84 Harpoon (1977) while the Russians get the KS-1 Komet (1953)

[Northern Poland]

dropping out, I finally realized that nation rps aren't my cup of tea anymore.

Wait, the Suez Crisis would likely be only addressed in the Security Council, right?

[Confederate American SU]

Confederate Republics of South Africa:
Head of State/Government: Confederate Council in peace. Krijgsraad in war, led by a Commandant-General.
Type of Government: Confederation of democratic (among whites) republics with universal white suffrage and syndicalist labor unions.
Capital: None officially. Though, delegates from the Volksraads and Unions meet at Pretoria.
Location: South Africa and Southwest Africa
Population:Around 14 million people.
Faction: None
History:In 1921-22, the Rand Rebellion happened. However, stubborn Boer republicans aided the syndicalist rebels, leading to the Third Boer War. Despite the defeat, the uprising cemented an alliance between radical syndicalists and Afrikaner nationalists for a 'White South Africa'. In the aftermath of the 2nd World War, a referendum made on whether South Africa should secede from the British Empire as a Republic. Despite a narrow margin in favor of independence, the pro-British United Party government declared the referendum invalid, despite the protests of the increasingly radicalized Nationalist-Labour Opposition. This led to a general strike of white workers as well as another Boer uprising. The government was then completely taken over, with the old Parliament done away in favor of a confederacy of Volksraads and Unions. The Commando system was reinstated to defend the republic from both foreign invasions and black uprisings. Immigration is encouraged from Western nations, and South Africa is hoping to establish relations with other nations to escape its status as a pariah nation.

Is this fine? I mean, I guess it could be awkward to have a syndicalist government fighting against a syndicalist resistance movement, though I actually find that kind of funny.

Though, I hope the nation doesn't get in the way of the player who's playing the African Socialist Provisional Government. I just saw that South Africa was a blank white spot on the map.

No, you're fine, we've relocated to Angola.

Wait, the Suez Crisis would likely be only addressed in the Security Council, right?

Yes. However after some research, I found a very interesting fact

It states that if the UN Security Council “fails to exercise its primary responsibility” for maintaining international peace and security, the General Assembly should take up the matter itself and urge collective action. The assembly has acted on this resolution in a handful of instances, including the Suez Crisis of 1956. Intervention by the United Nations in the crisis ultimately resulted in a cease-fire, troop withdrawal, and the establishment of the first UN Emergency Force, a peacekeeping force. The 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq provoked calls from many organizations for the General Assembly to take up the issue and override the impasse of the Security Council, but the assembly did not do so.

So if we cannot find any common ground in the SC, then the General Assembly would do something about the Suez Crisis

The other guy made the Canada app, but he hasn't responded. I'll keep this app in mind

Also, I really wish either the Chairman or the rebel stayed. Not only is their sudden disappearance from the USBR into Greece, and the the UK into the same day a little concerning, I think the Red Army or NKVD would have stepped in. Anyway your app will be reviewed again if I don't hear anything else from the original.

Looks good to me. Also, the ASPG player redid their app. To my knowledge, they're focusing on Angola

[Yaruqo]

So, if we're going by RL, the Security Council looks like:

United States (Permanent + Veto)
Republic of China (Permanent + Veto)
United Kingdom (Permanent + Veto)
Soviet Union (Permanent + Veto)
France (Permanent + Veto)

Argentina
Cuba
Canada
Ukraine SSR
Egypt
Norway

I can edit it to say that only the rebel leader left. Do you want me to continue as USBR w Chervenkov until Canada gets accepted?

Well, they still have a base in Namidia (Or Southwest Africa) but that shouldn't be too much of an issue. Also, I think Confederacy of South African Republics is a better name for the state. I hope my first post will be good.
