Once we get 10 to 12 (depends on how I feel when we get there) accepted sheets, I shall allow posting in the IC
Thinking about joining this, but first a question. Could I lay claim to Antarctica as a nation formed by troubled scientists during the War that wanted to escape the global situation? And as such have a small (population wise) nation made up mostly of scientists who have made great advances in climate control and other such areas due to their particular location?
<Snipped quote by MetalLover>Both are apparently allowed.
What allowed, large, solid-state lasers, tank rail guns, or both?
<Snipped quote by Zadubadabu>
I would actually be fine with this.
<Snipped quote by Durandal>Both are apparently allowed.
Solid-state lasers aren't THAT big and decades of development can certainly shrink them down.
We already have laser point defenses thanks to Rheinmetall. They are sure not as OP as portrayed in sci-fi. They are a nice way to compliment your already long list of countermeasures.
As for Railguns...well, they have issues in general.
Power requirements (same as big lasers in the MW range), wear on the rails (IIRC about 30 shots prior to replacement) and issues with the ammunition options.
Actually, I think I may stick with the "conventional" cannons.
The navy is interested in railguns because it'd give them a cheaper alternative to missiles and rocket-assisted projectiles when bombarding from range. The raw velocity of the projectile turns it into an explosive.
Hey, MetalLover. Fancy an Orthodox defensive pact against the Caliphate?
@Willy VerebSure, why not?
Do you suppose any form of agreements or treaties would have been made between Neo-Hungaria and the GEC before 2050?
<Snipped quote by Iluvatar>
Yes, I would like that a lot.
A great power is a sovereign state that is recognized as having the ability to exert its influence on a global scale.
@IluvatarI don't think many nations can currently influence on the global scale.
What with previous relations breaking down and everything still being a mess.
In the modern world it's easier to be a "great power" than in a setting like this.
Besides, with great power comes great responsibility.

With over 51 million muslims in your country, it might be wise to avoid the torn of Allah. That are 51 million potential terrorists waging Jihad on the oppressive infidels of the Sovjet Empire :D
<Snipped quote by Milkman>
I'm never going to get over that name. EVER.
<Snipped quote by Mihndar>I thought you already have them? I mean based on the map it seems obvious you have Ukraine, for example.
And that you are my direct neighbor.
As for which countries still have nuclear arsenals it's a bad way to ask it.
Because there's no reason a country wouldn't work on their atomic project.
Actually, Neo Hungaria built nukes after WW3.

Although Britain Russia and China appear to wield significant power. Perhaps they're only at 'great power' status, but compared to the rest of the world, they are the equivalent of 'superpowers' perhaps.
This is a question for anyone that can be bothered to read it.
Do you think the Hellenic Kingdom has achieved 'great power' status?
Wikipedia's definition is as follows:
<Snipped quote>
Just asking so I can be as realistic as possible in the RP.
^Speaking of China and Britain, with you going Greek I'm thinking of changing things so that Australia and New Zealand are under British sovereignty once again. Thoughts?
Is Slovenia European or Hungarian?
<Snipped quote by Iluvatar>
The Russians want in on this.
<Snipped quote by Iluvatar>
Fixed.
