I was thinking that I might enjoy doing something in the vein of Interguild Island again, just a little different. So, I came up with this.

European War

Europe is at war again. Even Norway and Finland are getting violent. Choose your side, forge alliances and conquer the world!

Rules

- Don't make a nation overpowered to start with
- Don't steal territory or take too much (aka If someone owns Ireland, you can't just roll up and steal it when you make your nation)
- Once you're out, you're out until someone is the winner. No complaining
- Every turn, you will be able to perform actions and react to internal affairs. Private actions are allowed but I'd rather have as few as possible
- Every five turns, every nation will attend a conference here in Denmark. You can bring up issues of discussion in the previous turn. Diplomacy will determine your success in convincing non-European powers
- No 'NUKEZ EVERY1' or 'Rig the dice.' or I will make you fail. There is no meter of how reasonable your actions are, just my opinion.
- Denmark is the unattackable nation, chosen due to it's small landmass and how central it is

Making a nation

- Fill out this form:

Nation name:
Population: (Be reasonable)
Government type:
Leader/Head of State:
Capital: (Obviously has to be within your borders)
Starting Land: (Don't choose too much or I'll remove some)
National Colour:

- Then put points into each attribute, total 20 points to spend

Technology: ?/10 (Determines your success in developing new technology, and adds to starting technology)
Economy: ?/10 (Determines your money and cashflow)
Military: ?/10 (Higher starting army, extra military technology to start)
Diplomacy: ?/10 (Determines success at conference)

- Every nation will then be calculated and given pros/cons. Every nation will start with basic technology and so on, so don't think that not putting points into tech will mean you're literally in the stone age.

Roster:

The Most Serene Federation of Sproutington is an land of mostly blue-collar workers, ruled by an oppressive dictator named Uncle Jan, who monitors everything from the media to what his citizens eat for lunch. The land is constantly at risk of flooding, and many windmills and clogs are sacrificed and put into dams in order to stop the entire country from being drowned. The majority of the population work in state-owned factories in the city, and most food is imported, though there are a few agricultural workers. The majority of the population are atheists, however Uncle Jan is often put forward as an implied god, and there are several reports of citizens worshipping him.

Technica is a country with Southern European climate, ruled by Stephen Hawking, who claims to be the ancestor of the great Spanish king, Philip II, despite being born in the UK. Most people work in tourism or in high-tech industries, which are heavily subsidised by the government. Most of the country live outside of major cities, and instead reside in tiny villages with their extended families, eating olives and paella and taking their siesta every day, often making huge journeys to the various high-tech industrial areas four times a day. A large portion of the population are fanatical Stephen Hawking supporters, but there is a growing opposition who are becoming more and more discontent as time goes on.

WeLikeGodSoWeWin is a nation ruled by the new pope, John-War MXVIII, who deposed the old pope for betraying the ancient war-like ways of popes. He has already conquered Greece and it's islands, despite intense resistance from the military and the Greek Orthodox Church, and is planning to call a crusade upon The Most Serene Federation of Sproutington due to its heathen ways. The country earns most of its money through tourism and donations, which easily make up enough money to support the actual population, however the newly added cost of mercenary soldiers from Defence Contractors is a strain on the economy. Speaking of mercenaries, they are banned from the actual city, and live inside a huge complex of barracks on Sardinia. Most of the population work in sustaining the small City-State, or are general religious people.

Darvwnse-a is democracy, currently headed by the Rasističnikretenskupina Party leader, Heinz Fisher, a successful businessman. in opposition are the Želimoživetivprostipogodbenice Party, a left wing Socialist party. There is also a small third party, Minemorenadomestitinašihglavahzabava Party, a centrist group. They live in a generally temperate land, with very average temperatures all year round. Wien, also known as Vienna is the capital, and is the largest city, and where most people live. Most people work in factories with a minority earning a lot of money, making various goods for US companies and referring to their workers as 'resources'.

The head's of Nasa is a country which recently deposed its long-reigning monarchs in exchange for a more pure democracy. The economy is extremely Science-driven, and almost everyone works in high-tech research facilities. Except from people in Glasgow. They're left behind. Naturally. The current leader is from the FDESWKFHASDFHKASGFHAERGFASFKDSLFH Party, a fiscally conservative organisation who are rapidly losing popularity to the DWFLASHFSDLJFKH Party, a more left wing group. There is a lot of tension with Northern Ireland and Dover, from both sides. Some want to join the country, while others want to be more aggressive towards it.

Might as well try this out.

Population: 25 mill
Government: Democratic Socialism
Leader: çå†ß§∞ •©§¡¥ø

-Remind Denmark of freedom of religion. If the population wants to treat Uncle Jan as a deity, they should be free to do so. The Most Serene Federation of Sproutington isn't forcing anyone of its population to worship Uncle Jan, just to obey him. So in the eyes of the Federation, worshipping Uncle Jan is no different from worshipping the Abrahamic God or some fat guy with an elephant head.
-Get Van Couvenhoven isolated inside the best secured part of the government building. Reinforce the building if necessary. The only people allowed to see him are the most trusted parliament servants and an elite group of the military whose sole responsibility is protecting Uncle Jan and the government. He should only be allowed contact with his fellow politicians through video. Furthermore, remind China of our political similarities and warn them of the real threats, such as WeLikeGodSoWeWin.
-In Sproutington we have a zero tolerance policy to anything we deem to be terrorism. Track down the members of this group, arrest them and send them into slave labour camps industrial correctional facilities. During their stay in these facilities, use the torture devices morality enhancers on them once a week to convince them to follow Uncle Jan and his ways.

Actions:
-I want to buy torture devices from the USA.
-I want to send a message to Technica to warn them of WeLikeGodSoWeWin and remind them of what they did to Galileo, one of the founders of science.
-I want to research GPS chips to be inserted into humans so I will be able to constantly see where each of my citizens are located.

I will give everyone a chance to claim their initial land before taking any major international actions.

Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ is a nation based upon the ideals of equality, but not too much equality - that would make you commie scum like Obama. They are lead by a democratically elected leader, çå†ß§∞ •©§¡¥ø for the Social Democratic Party. In opposition are the Green Party and the Conservatives. Despite problems with language and increasing tension from France and the UK, the population are generally happy, and they consider themselves to live in a Scandinavian Left-Wing Paradise. Most of the population work in the finacial services industry, and the country is known to excel in that field.

Starting Technology: Genetic Research Facilities
Military: Small force of elite troops
Economy: 300 credits to spend each turn

Starting Issues

- The Conservative party are complaining about excessive immigration.
- People are getting increasingly frustrated about the language barrier between the North and the South
- A northern part of the Dover province has declared that it is part of the United Kingdom, and have set up a camp at Dover Castle. Some say they are armed.

The next turn will take place on Monday. Enter your actions before then or else.

Ireland and Northern Ireland? Oh man you're gonna get some terrorist attacks

not Northern Ireland, I said most of the UK

Hey flash, to use my teleportors, do i need two pads, or can i just put stuff on one and teleport it wherever i want?
Ninjad
Oh, a rival technocracy? Hmmm...

But Northern Ireland is Best Ireland! Anyway whatever. And hooray for Cheltenham being the capital, awesome place. It is also one of the few smaller towns where it isn't impossible to find work, lol. Also, NASA is US only.

Starting Technology: Space program, Satellites, Rockets, Moon base
Military: Mainly defensive systems such as AA guns and
Economy: 150 credits per turn to spend

Starting Issues

- A group in Dover has declared that they want to join your country. Will you support their bid for independence?
- People in Leeds are complaining about lack of Governmental support for their bid to reach Mars.
- A visiting US politician could risk being harassed by anti-war groups.

You need two pads.

the reason why Cheltenham is the capital is because I live there!

about the group in dover, Sure! you Can, Just move into my area!
about the people in leads. give us money and support and we'll get there! eventually
and the US politician. I don't really care. I can still be a war union if i want to.

Next turn stuff. Charge up air strikes just to be safe.
stop counting USA as a major country
set up defences.
set up defences again
Start making a rocket to mars.
Play some KSP

That pickpocket can stay. At most, he would have stolen $10, as we have little need for mass spending. In the end, on Armageddon Day, we will be the ones saved, and he will be eternally filled with guilt. Did that $10 help me? Was this all worth it? Quite simply, no, it isn't. Unless he confesses his sins, and returns the $10, his crimes are already paid.

Why? We have captured Greece. For that, they will be punished. Not only are they destroying Holy Property, but they are more importantly going against His word. For them to believe that they will remain under the name of God is impossible. Our Catholic followers will have revenge, however, we will not choose manslaughter. We will let them kill themselves. Inside their church, while they're praying, all the doors will be locked. There will be no escape. There is the unlikelihood that one might bring a weapon to Church, even though it is a sin, but they have already destroyed all trust. Back to the task at hand, they will try to escape, clawing at the doors, the walls, the windows. But God will protect the walls. As they destroy our walls, we keep up theirs. Inside, they will go mad. Mad against the will of God. After three days, they will go completely insane, no escape, no food. They will then turn on themselves. The now unorthodox church will destroy themselves.

Our Pope, skilled in all ways of contending, will resurrect Odysseus and Telemachus. They will fight for us. In a new era, they will be confused, but their mastery of weapons will not remain forgotten. The Ithacans will fear them, with remembrance of the hundred man slaughter, only to happen again. Fear alone will turn half back to our side. The other half will die. Of hearing of this event, other countries will know us as a threat. Forever, they will remember how two men conquered an entire army, full of new technology. That island was built from a defensive position, where the strongest attacks of normal countries would fail to leave a dent in their walls. Us, however, slaughtered them. We broke down those walls. Should I even say we? We have a two man army. An army of god-like proportions. The last resurrection that I've heard of was the resurrection of Jesus. We are not comparing them to Jesus, but is it possible that Jesus has come back multiple times?

With an unstable economy, this may be hard. But we would be willing to work for our food.

Technica: I would like to offer an alliance. Our only competition would be rocketguy. With a nearly evenly distributed economy, military, and diplomacy, we could conquer his pathetic country, no problem. Why should we fight? Over an ill-informed persecution? Galileo was a very smart man. Unfortunately, we made a poor decision. Our nation would like to set that aside. Our nations together could mesh very well together. Our militia could protect you, while your stable economy would further stabilize ours. Our technology together would be the best. Advanced weapons would win us the war.
