@Skepic

Would you mind if I copied your Strike Witches to put into my own nation?

@Cyclone Well I can certainly provide the Oil( I do recall saying that) :) And help in the fight against the PRK.

@Cyclone

Wait, would you be supplying arms to both sides? I can't imagine that would bode well for either of the leaders :P

EDIT: How would you choose on which side to support in this little war between the Empire and the Dominion? We basically have the same resources up for grabs since we aren't all that far apart.

@Cyclone

The split has been around since the crowning of the Golden Emperor which was some 200 years ago. Fighting is on and off but its basically a constant state of war with varying shades of escalation. The entire IC reason the Dominion exists is because its original leader didn't accept the new emperor of Fuso as a rightful heir or something like that and allied/annex his nieghbors to try and make his own.

@SigmaDoes that seem right to you?

Barring other factors then, it would come down to three factors, in order of importance:

1.Which nation is more powerful/offers us more value?
2.Which nation most shares our views towards Communism and the PRK and democracy?
3.Which nation is closer?

I'd imagine number 2 to be roughly the same since your governments (and presumably cultures) are similar.

Actually, I think it might be interesting if we just said that Moravia has supported the Dominion for a while now and one of their enemies (most likely the PRK) is now supporting Fuso, which would lead to a big proxy war. Anybody else like this idea?

I'd find the idea interesting, but its most likely not the PRK who'd help Fuso since Fuso won't want their help. They have a socialism-esque economy with the government planning quotas and such but its otherwise a free market. They'd also suspect the PRK as trying to sew seeds for a Communist revolution.

As for you're questions, Fuso is the stronger one at least in terms of land and its resources, I just answred the other question and the Dominion is closer but not by much.

Although, how would a proxy war like this work? The two sides nudge the empire and the dominion enough to the point its total war all over again?

Do what I did and use a bomb or shoot an archduke.

<Snipped quote by ClocktowerEchos>

The classical definition of a proxy war was Vietnam. Both China and the United States threw tons of support towards one side and really fought one another using the original conflict as just a pretext.

In this case it'd be more than just Moravia trying to undermine an enemy or make them look weak, since they have a vested interest in getting resources from the region. They would thus want to protect their trade partner and unify the region under a friendly government to get access to even more stuff.

I am thinking about increasing the size of Fay individuals from 1.6 - 2 inches to 4 - 6 inches or as I envision it around the same size as someone's hand. That would be body size not including the wings which would increase there size even more.

I feel this size increase allows them to keep the feel I originally intended while making them less ridicules against firearms since if you include wingspan they become far more reasonable targets.

What do people think.?

<Snipped quote by Cyclone>

Ahh, alrighty then.
Who would you support though?

<Snipped quote by ClocktowerEchos>

The Dominion. As in for who would support you, I'd consider the PRK again more carefully. Sure some people will say better dead than red, but if it comes down to being crushed by the Dominion and the tanks and guns that the Commonwealth gave them, versus taking the risk of getting a bit too close to the PRK for comfort, the choice seems clear. The PRK has motive to help you anyways, since they'd see it as both a chance to weaken Moravia and possibly spread the revolution.

<Snipped quote by Cyclone>

Well you should keep in mind that I'm Fuso's immediate neighbor, and though I'm not done with my military section it will be very professional. And with the Reds just across the water, I'd be trying to decrease their influence near me at an convenience. Though I'm sure my people wouldn't rebel, welfare state and all.
