Polekraine falls into the second category to some degree. There is at least one thing you would have to allow because one of my storyarcs depends on it and it will be the subject of the post I am writing. It will certainly complicate things for me to have a Polish player, like.. a lot, but I don't think it's fair to pull an Aaron and completely stop you from doing so just because it is somewhat involved in my plans. So if you were to agree to let some things happen, I wouldn't mind too much.

I was overcome by a wave of nostalgia when reading over my old stuff, so I had to. Nation: The Federative Republic of Brazil Leader: President Adriano Claro History: Brazil suffered a rocky history until 1950, after its limited participation in the First World War. The battle between rising corporate interests and the government shook the nation to its core, with the influence of these powerful magnates finally removed in the early 1950s. Since then, Brazil has integrated and formed closer ties with its South American neighbors, culminating in the South American Confederacy formed by President Claro during his first term, an organization formed for joint South American military assistance and trade management. In 1970, there was a major rebellion of so-called "Brazilian patriots" who opposed integration with the other South American countries, which was inevitably crushed. Brazil, like the rest of South America, has long been focused inward, but with the beginning of Adriano Claro's first term in 1976, he sought to foster ties with like-minded nations such as Ethiopia and the rising Armenian nation. Military collaboration and trade agreements were created with the Slavic Union of Poland and Ukraine. Though wary of overextension, Claro desires to help combat the great powers of Spain and China, as well as keeping a wary eye on its northern Anglo neighbor. Brazil during Adriano Claro's first term has sought a middle way between the rabid capitalism that characterizes Spain and the staunch communism professed by China and its allies. The economy is mixed between state control and private enterprise, with the core industries managed by the state and smaller businesses and industries left in private hands. This path is opposed both by the Liberals and Communists in the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies, but for now Claro's Brazilian People's Party holds a majority with the Liberals a close second. Edit: I was reading over the IC regarding the destruction of the Ottoman Empire, but Evan's storyline is just way too constricting for me to be able to operate creatively there.

Per Mihndar's Brazil: I had to talk to Vilage and company to figure out what to do. Firstly is the SAC as it stands. It was downgraded to and should remain a system of loosely tying and integrated economic connections between the regional states. It doesn't - or shouldn't - extend to military cooperation. At least not for the foreseeable future. Argentina too is proactively pro-Spain as per Tempest. Although Tempest disappeared he did manage to come up with some things for he and Googer to run over the course of the RP so they will remain that. As per diplomatic ties to Ethiopia and Poland we agreed that Brazil shouldn't have the power or ability to project themselves into Africa, Eastern Europe, or the Caucus. Brazil now shouldn't have the access to loans like they did in the forties to actively deploy troops to the European theater as they did. They're on their own in the region. What they can do however is send in volunteer brigades: simply weakly trained soldiers with second hand gear or what they can pick up from home and going off into conflict for ideological reasons. But these individuals wouldn't be anything more than militia tier. In a narrative aspect they'd exist mostly to allow you to write and explore an aspect of conflict, but wouldn't carry Brazilian interests. Some points in your app could do with some expanding to make me comfortable. Also jets are ded.

Would it be permissible for it to be an economic free trade area like the European Union, because that's generally what I was thinking economically when I made it. As far as the military thing it was intended to be a forum where agreement could be reached concerning military matters and transfer of equipment, rather than as an actual alliance. If this is still no-go then let me know. That's pretty much exactly what I was planning on doing, except perhaps also giving them spare equipment and aid to bring over there to assist further, since given their shared colonial past and mildly socialist tendencies they would feel a close kinship with the Ethiopians. They wouldn't be army, but we would still support them covertly rather than letting them go with virtually nothing. I could use some advice on which points I should expand on. I thought we had already established this in 1977, but duly noted. Edit: The whole drug lord busting operation was the best thing I could think of in terms of that sort of loose military rendezvous.

I suppose it would work, provided you understand not everyone would be interested or compelled to keep part. And Argentina would be a factor. Per the app, perhaps what platform Claro got in on and detail that, sort of legislation he wants to introduce and the nature of the country current or present that put him into office. Anything that might as well detail the long reaching implications of what Brazil was in the past and how it's still effecting them.

The revised application... Nation: The Federative Republic of Brazil Leader: President Adriano Claro History: Brazil suffered a rocky history until 1950, after its limited participation in the First World War. The battle between rising corporate interests and the government shook the nation to its core, with the influence of these powerful magnates finally removed in the early 1950s. Since then, Brazil has integrated and formed closer ties with its South American neighbors, culminating in the South American Confederacy formed by President Claro during his first term, an organization formed for joint South American military assistance and trade management. In 1970, there was a major rebellion of so-called "Brazilian patriots" who opposed integration with the other South American countries, which was inevitably crushed. Despite this outburst of sentiment, Brazil has settled into a working relationship with the vast majority of the other South American nations as a natural hegemon, but not one bent on conquest or overwhelming influence. Under Sofia Veracruz's presidency from 1968-1976 and Claro's presidency thus far until 1980, Brazil has undergone a program of aggressive economic expansion promoted by the state both through fairly high taxes (which have not failed to provoke resentment) as well as through what little loans could be acquired from the international market. As such, the economic situation in Brazil has improved considerably, but poverty and underdevelopment in rural areas is still a considerable problem. Brazil has fairly modern military forces dating from the 1950s and 60s, with a small airforce but reasonably sized navy and good quality infantry equipment and armor purchased mostly from Poland. Brazil, like the rest of South America, has long been focused inward, but with the beginning of Adriano Claro's first term in 1976, he sought to foster ties with like-minded nations such as Ethiopia and the rising Armenian nation. Military collaboration and trade agreements were created with the Slavic Union of Poland and Ukraine. Though wary of overextension, Claro desires to help combat the great powers of Spain and China, as well as keeping a wary eye on its northern Anglo neighbor. Tensions have begun rising between Brazil and the other major power on the continent, Argentina, as Argentina has stepped out of line in tilting toward Spain. This is likely to be the most important foreign policy issue of the 1980-1984 term, aside from the Spanish invasion of Ethiopia. Brazil during Adriano Claro's first term has sought a middle way between the rabid capitalism that characterizes Spain and the staunch communism professed by China and its allies. The economy is mixed between state control and private enterprise, with the core industries managed by the state and smaller businesses and industries left in private hands. This path is opposed both by the Liberals and Communists in the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies, but for now Claro's Brazilian People's Party holds a majority with the Liberals a close second. Claro's platform for his reelection in August 1980 is continued domestic economic expansion under state-controlled oversight and stimulus, and continued close ties with Brazil's natural allies in Ethiopia and Armenia, while the rival Communist party favors closer relations with China and an adoption of its brand of communism, and the Liberal party closer relations and economic revision in favor of the more moderate capitalist powers, such as Britain and Australia. Reconciliation with Spain is virtually out of the question for any except the most extreme of right-wing politicians. During Claro's first term, he also implemented several reforms aiming to eliminate corruption and strengthen Brazilian democratic institutions, such as the implementation of the instant runoff vote and the elimination of restrictions on the private press that existed as a remnant of Brazil's authoritarian days.

Happy year of the wooden female sheep-goat. And may I remind folks that any move in Asia to defy Chinese defense policy of keeping the current Asian status-quo will be responded too. And Japan ranks up there with Europe in the states with low popular oppinion. You'll be giving the Chinese people an excuse to vent their remaining anger. Not even the demands to stop killing every son of Japan by Hou will hold them back.

The Battle of the Suez took place May 27-28 1980. Assuming we are using the time it started (around page 4) as the day, then it should be something like the second week of June.

If 20 posts make a page and 250 posts a full five page, then divide that out by 30/31 (depending on moth) you should get 2-2.5 posts is a day. You then count up the posts, or the posts on that page and apply date with math.
