Trade, Ally, War the 3 ANs

[Langkasoka]

Based upon 'Kiss, Marry, Kill', you must decide of the three ANs which one you'll conduct trade with, become allies with, and wage war with. It would be appreciated if you would base your reply on the lore of the AN and provide a little reasoning for your decision.

Example:

[Blackacre responds to Brasilistan, Maxtopia, United Federation]

Blackacre: I'll trade with Brasilistan for their diamonds, ally with Maxtopia for their martial prowess, and wage war against the U.F. because they keep condemning my regime for human rights issues!

Daguo: I'll wage war against Brasilistan for kidnapping my citizens, and ally with Blackacre because us autocratic regimes need to stick together! As for Maxtopia, we will import their oil products then.

We'll need two more posters to properly start this thread.

[Doslonsu]

I'll trade with AN at the Tehrazd Exchange! I'll take anything!

But for the UCP??? WAR

(I don't think people are understanding the thread)

[New-Normandy]

Trade with Doslonsu. Normally I'd ally but they switch governments so often they'd probably end up fucking me over.

War with AAN. We will take back south asia.

[Vastiuq]

Ally, the empire always needs more allies as back at home the nations around us arnt as friendly and Kira would like to add more nations to her alliance

[Langkasoka]

Hopefully this post will make clear how the thread should be played:

And gosh, all three options are in one way or the other horrible. Guess I'll have to play some realpolitik here.

We'll trade with Doslonsu, who are very eager to import and export in their current state amidst their aggressive wars. Meanwhile, we'll ally with Vastiuq. They may worship war but are rational in foreign policy and have shown to be willing to make friends. War is reserved for New Normandy, as they are a more immediate neo-imperialist threat (bound on taking Southeast Asia) that must be dealt with- which will be easier with a powerful ally like Vastiuq on our side.

[Nerasian Empire]

Ok, after consulting with our agents in each country, we came with our official Stance:.

Ally Vastiuqfor the same reason that Langkasoka. And talking about the later, while I don't belive they would be our allies unless necessary for their own survival, we do believe we could establish a favorable trading partnership for both, as for New-Normandy, they are a bit like us, and history has show many times that the enemy of an Empire is another Empire, so we would declare war on them.

- Maximillian von Pellen, Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

[Camtropia]

Langkasoka seems a lot more sane compared to the other nations, so I guess we'll ally with them.

New-Normandy and Vastiuq are both rather nasty, but New-Normandy is significantly weaker. Vastiuq would crush Camtropia pretty quickly, their military is larger than Camtropia's entire population, and they have all kinds of fancy future tech. So we'll go to war with New-Normandy (and try to provoke a slave revolt to weaken them), and trade with Vastiuq to try and get our hands on some of their tech.

Ah. I actually started typing before you made that post, but submitted after? So IDK what happens now. Note to self: use /Reserved more...
I guess I'll just swap Nerasia with New-Normandy?

Well, you even could do that, but our NS population is canon and we have a peace time army of 40 million, besides all the modern equipament and weapons and we do not have slaves.

[Vastiuq]

If were going off IC wise then all of these choices are kind of bad for our nation. Nerasian is at this point no longer a absolute monarchy like us (that takes away friendship points) BUT they Arnt as bad as the other two nations so Kira would choose to ALLY. Camtropia is a democracy and since most of their policies and stats are cannon we would WAR, not only bec we dislike democracy's and actively try to replace their governments we also like to pick on smaller nations. So that leaves Langkasoka who we would trade with.

/Do me, nerasian and camptropia

[The Sakhalinsk Empire]

We'll trade with Nerasia because their economy is strong, ally with Vastiuq because their economy is strong AND they have a strong military. and invade Camtropia because they're free land.

(Unfortunately I deleted all my old dispatches because they were poorly written. And I don't remember my new lore. So I still think I'm an empire spanning Japan and half of China, and Cascadia too. But It's up to you if you accept this or not)

[MajinTails and SonicTheGhost]

Probably attempt to trade with Sakhalinsk since they sound lucrative, Ally with Vastiuq because of their strong military, War with Nerasia...because I don't know why, but it feels like it has the least ideological and motivational inclinations of the 3 to cooperate.

I mean, that is how this thread works /silly

[The Boggest Place on Earth]

i'd prolly ally vast, trade with sonic bros, so that means a war with sak

[Isla Byron]

trade nerasia sakhalin or whatever your name is, ally bog, invade majintails and sonictheghost, nothing personnel, just business.

[Nerasian Empire]

trade nerasia, ally bog, invade majintails and sonictheghost, nothing personnel, just business.

I not eligible, your options are Bogg,, Majin and Sakhalinsk

/Skipme

[Sardinia-Sicily]

Ally Bogg, Trade Byron and War AAAN

[Vastiuq]

Wow this was easy. The boggest place on earth has no value for the empire so we will WAR. We will TRADE with Isla as I believe they could provide some weapons if necessary they are bandits. Finnaly me and SS will ALLY I believe we have been allies before in past wars.

[Vastiuq]

/bump

[Imperial Cecilia]

Trade with Isla Byron, ally with Sardinia-Sicily, war with Vastiuq.

[Ravosa]

Well, for some reason Vas is an enemy so war, Sicily are the only normal folk there but probably weak to go against Vas so we trade with them and Ally Cecilia as they are a Democracy.

[Imperial Cecilia]

Thanks! You're the first person to say, the first time they met me, that I am a democracy, which is correct! People think I am an empire due to my name. The sig addition is starting to work, I guess.

[Lumiere du Premier]

Trade with Vastiq,

Ally with Imperial Cecilia,

War with Ravosa

Nothing personal Ravosa but I know nothing about you since you are very new.

I have neutral relations with Vastiq for the most part so I'll trade with them. And recently Imperial Cecilia gave some advice and helped to significantly improve a draft for a resolution repeal I'm working on.

[Langkasoka]

Trade with Ravosa, in their post-civil war condition, we stand to make highly beneficial deals (that will also help their recovery of course). While it would seem that between Imperial Cecilia and Lumière du Premier (LdP), the latter may be the stronger, we will ally with the underdog Cecilia. They're an advancing regional/middle power that poses not too much of a threat to our interests.

This leaves me with war against LdP, I would've otherwise perhaps allied with them, since their magical power users can cooperate with our Kabahi (Langkasokan supernatural agency), but they have since fallen under the control of anti-theist forces waging war against Heaven itself, which may come across as somewhat uneasy for the average Langkasokan.
