I think S&M sorts still use those uniforms. Get yourself a dominatrix.

It might come back. The Nazi is still in living memory. In another hundred years, however, it might be far enough back in history that people stop worrying about the negative notations of swastikas. Or sharply dressed military's for that matter.

Sort of like the Confederate Flag... Though that seems to still cause some angst.

Looks like the ghetto name train has ended, folks. It can't go any further than this.

Name: State of Palestine
Leader: President Natalia "Palestine's Sunbird" Hayaat

History:

In January of 1974 a young female by the name of Natalia Hayaat, established a Guerrilla Organization with the goal of liberating Palestine and freeing it from the Ottoman Empire. Six years were devoted to developing what would be the new government of Palestine once it was free from the Ottoman Empire that occupied the country currently. While developing the governments structure and political boundaries the Organization was also simultaneously preparing Palestinian people for combat against the Empire.

The Guerrilla Organization recruited males and females privately through the many towns, villages, and cities within the area. These males and females were then trained as best they could for covert operations that typically would involve sabotage or ambushes. The Organization received aid from various sources within the population and even some influential people in the Ottoman Empire who wish to see it fall.

From January to Early April of 1980, Natalia Hayaat had been given the name "Palestine's Sunbird", a bird with national significance and she was seen as the one to lead the Palestine people to freedom. She began her campaign that had been planned for six years. Her Guerrilla Organization received the orders to carry out their objectives simultaneously all across Palestine with the Palestinian people at her side. Quickly after, news of Palestinian victories began occurring in the streets of many Palestinian towns and cities.

Palestinian operations ranged anywhere from cutting supply lines of the Empire in order to cause difficulties in maintaining their base of operations in certain areas, all the way to ambushing patrols and convoys, raiding military facilities and weapon caches, kidnapping and interrogating Ottoman Officials for information.

Within months of the plan being ignited, the Ottoman Empire began collapsing in on itself and had found themselves stretched too far to deal with the Palestinian coup, having been stretched too thin is also why the Palestinian coup was not spotted and recognized before its overwhelming activity. The Ottoman Empire surrendered its holdings and began running back to protect their homeland. News of other Middle Eastern powers were heard rising and forming the necessary borders that represented their people.

Just as Natalia Hayaat found victory in driving the Ottoman Empire out, she was confronted with another power. Syrian Guerrillas who were leading the revolts against the Ottoman Empire in Syria who were looking to take land that stretched all the way to the Mediterranean. This proved to be a problem with what the Palestinian people were looking to establish.

Natalia Hayaat began fierce negotiations with the Syrian Guerrillas. Both would do more harm than good to their people if they were to go to war. They both were not in a position to take one another on due to the wounds still healing from the recent fighting with the Ottoman Empire. Lines were established and Palestine even cooperated to take less land then they asked for.

April 12th, 1980 - Declaration of Independence is written and the State of Palestine is born, it is a place where the Palestinian people may all have a voice in the affairs of Palestine's future. President Natalia Hayaat is voted in as Palestine's first president at the age of 34. Her vision is quickly implemented and a government along with a military is forged. Palestine, although in the infant stage of their country, have already leaped bounds in a world full of chaos. The goal now is to secure their borders and mark their spot in history.

"Today we witness the beginning of an end, an end to oppression, an end to tyranny, an end to foreign control, today we witness the beginning of our freedom, the beginning of our generations light and that light will shine for generations to come, today we witness the beginning of our State, the State of Palestine, where all of us are Palestine's Sunbirds!" - President Natalia Hayaat during a speech before the signing of the Declaration, also broadcast'd over several radio stations.

Huggles with a whip in one hand and 50 Shades in the other, wearing an authentic Nazi uniform.

I edited the last few paragraphs on my introductory post because I felt I had rushed them and it bugged the fuck out of me. It's better now, I guess. It's nothing important, just eased it into an end a little better.

I'll post soon, when I figure out how to go about doing things.

Name: State of Palestine

I feel I'mma wait on word from Vilage and the other local experts since I still don't know what the current situation is there and I want to hear from them.

So... Vilage, Veo... Evan?

What about ChronoExile (previous Palestine guy)? Has anyone heard from him at all?

Hi everyone, back from my break.

For Palestine (being the now previous player of it) all I have to say is that you probably want to include the Ethiopians coming in and helping during the recapturing of Jerusalem. That was a major event in the rebellion. An Ottoman ambush there was most likely going to destroy the rebels, but then Hassan came in and saved them, making him a hero to Palestine. From there on, it was planned that the rebels would stick with him for as long as he kept going through Ottoman territory. I'm not sure if that was kept, since I need to catch up still, but... That's all I have to say.

That, and that I will miss Jelal.

If you're back and still want to be Palestine, I think it's only right we let you. As much as I'd hate to make Vinsanity's application obsolete. If you're still willing to give it up, then I hope you pick up a new nation. It's good having you around.

I can always look for yet again another nation to play if Chrono would like to continue with Palestine. I will eventually find a home lol.

I would feel bad taking it again after they wrote that out. I kind of did take forever to get back here anyways. I wouldn't mind playing something else too much if they really want Palestine.

Also, I just realized that I posted right after (I was probably writing during, even) Gorgen asked about me. Talk about crazy timing.

And again I'm waiting on word of at least Vilage before I do anything on Palestine because I still feel like I'm getting mixed signals on the region.

Chrono, you can have Palestine, I'll go back to the drawing board. I had a few other ideas in mind anyways.

Then it's settled.

Sorry to make it so difficult for you, Vincinity.

It's all good, I don't mind.

Name: Republic of Brasil
Leader: President Evelyn Vera Alaverez

From 1917 until the end of the war in 1925, Brazil fought against the central powers via its navy in the Atlantic Ocean. Brazils largest and oldest company was also established during this time, Otero Arms & Armor.

In 1925, The Great War ended and Brazil begins to pull back to the home shores. Brazil decides to maintain a strong influence around South America with its Navy returning home . A decision to build the economy and military was set after the end of the war to make sure Brazil would be ready for future conflicts.

In 1930, drugs began making their way into Brazil from across neighboring countries primarily Columbia. 10 years of drug trafficking had occurred before the Brazilian Government finally could no longer look the opposite direction and was forced to put resources into stopping the increase in drugs. During this time a bid from the military was put out to find a company that would equip the new men and women who would fight the drug war. Otero Arms and Armor had won the bid, sliding by the Calvo Weapons Corporation.

In 1940, the government answered the drug situation with creating a National Intelligence and S.W.A.T. Agency called Garra who was equipped with the contract Otero had. This agencies mission is to work domestically and to operate behind or on neighboring borders. The Garra would decrease the drugs being hauled over the borders of Brazil and would later be a key reason to why Brazil would wish establish the SAC.

In 1956, the Garra were having issues with keeping track of all operations and the agency had split into so many sub units that there was no organization even if the units and agency were doing their job. In order to organize and create an even more effective way of conducting activities, the agency was split. The Garra would conduct behind the bordering countries and right on the borders of Brazil. The split agency would be called the Brazilian Security Force. A military organization designed to keep the peace across Brazils most populated cities and towns. Another bid was sent out to equip the Brazilian Security Force, OAA shot for the chance as well at this contract but was in fact beat out by Calvo Weapons Corporation, this placed them back on the drawing board.

1960, the economy of Brazil is beginning to rise as the drugs and crime have begun to fall. Brazil takes to a zero tolerance policy when it comes to breaking the law. Although some would see it as ruthless, Brazil sees it as a necessary action in deterring and halting drug lords and criminals alike. Check points are many throughout Brazil, Brazils borders are constantly watched, and so are the cities within. Here, however there is a growing middle class with new jobs arising from expanding businesses.

In 1975, an investigation of a drug lord had a large break through in finding out where a majority of the drugs were coming from. Although it was not a surprise, it was enough evidence to show Brazils case in why something had to be done. The country serving the problems was none other than Columbia. Brazil looked to form the SAC in order to work together in stopping the drugs in Columbia and boosting South Americas Economy as a whole.

In 1976, Brazil started SAC (South American Confederation): A confederation that united South America through a system of alliances and open trade. Through a tentative alliance with Ethiopia, they openly questioned Spain and its expansion into the Ivory Coast, but nothing came of it. Brazil is an economic capitalist nation, but socialist elements have began to gain a political foothold in the country. Brazil, along with other SAC members, launched an operation in Columbia to root out drug lords.

1980, Brazil has elected their new President due to the previous Administrations term ending. President Evelyn Vera Alaverez, born in Rio De Janeiro, the first female President of Brazil , promising to continue the vision of the people.

Government Structure: Republic

Military: Brazilian Armed Forces, Commander Thiago Delgado

Brazils Naval and Intelligence Organization - This organization or branch falls under the command of the BAF as does the others. The Brazilian Naval and Intelligence Organization or BNIO, soul purpose is to deal with foreign powers at a military level across international waters.

Brazils Army - This part of the Armed Forces is used when invading foreign lands, it is not a standing military but does have special operation units within it that are full time. These units are typically taught from the already Drug War veterans but for foreign combat instead of domestic. The Army is formed when Brazil finds it necessary to pull to war.

Brazil Security Force - This is where a majority of the army will be pulled from if a declaration of war is summoned. The security forces are active throughout all of Brazil and have designated teams that will go to the army if called, and ones that will remain as a Security Force. There are over 50 different special force units in this branch due to its constant battle with the war on drugs all over Brazil.

Garra - They operate in Columbia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Panama, and Costa Rica, they are Brazils gate keepers and have constant operations behind enemy lines and just inside the borders of Brazil. They deal with drug lords, underground political figureheads and organizations. They also have jurisdiction in all of Brazil even if they do not typically operate inside Brazil.

Seems fine.

But I noticed you didn't add much this time around. You're free to make up the history of your nation from 1914 onwards. The summaries are basically a listing of things that are canon, and that should be acknowledged when you make an application for a country. But that doesn't mean you can't make up events and add them to the story of your nation.

But if you just decided to keep it short, that's fine too.

I added more to the history.

Could I join as Brazil?
