[gowia]

Yeah I did do some research...as Jannah said he was exiled in '52 and so I was going to do that later in the RP.

Nasser took power in '56, but for the sake of continuality here you could have him take power earlier. It's up to you really.

I have a post on the way but I'm researching and writing. I'm also dealing with school and stuff so maybe it'll come later.

I just read gowia's IC.

I'm going to leave if there are more mind-boggling changes of allegiance and lack of research like this. Wafd was content on the British payroll and didn't intend on fighting the British. The government would flip shit and condemn it immediately.

And yes, they are traitors to Egypt if you were going to say that.

[Jannah]

Well this is alternate history so I'm not being too hard on him over this. I would like at least some realism though since there's some things that would just never happen in some countries.

Actually I did do some research. Please see this and explain to me how it is wrong? Admittedly I did make this all happen earlier but apart from that they are pretty in sync.

[Pepschep]

Right, apologies. I thought you suddenly turned the puppets against the puppet masters for the lulz. And after the earlier debacles...

But do use "Kingdom of Egypt"!

No worries, I understand you dont want everybody having a complete turn around (Hundreds of revolutions for example) and you want it to be alternate in a realistic sense:) Ahhhh will do:)

I was fearing another Poland.

Omg don't even remind me. Which reminds me, we need more Warsaw Pact countries in this. I think currently we only have USSR and East Germany.

I can be Albania or Hungary but I'd have to read up on either one's history during the Cold War, since I'm not too knowledgeable about it.

Also, midterms and such might make me unavailable at times.

[TheEvanCat]

And done. Now, Ali Mansur has had pro-British policies and I intend to continue that if I decide to keep electing him. Whoever does Britain is going to be in for a wild ride with me.

The problem with Albania is that later on in the 1960's it split off. However, I am open to you having somebody less hardline taking power and instead staying aligned with the Warsaw Pact. Hoxha was pretty much crazy >.>.

I'm supposed to be Britain but I haven't posted in ages :P I should get on that

Yes you should. You're pretty important to cold war politics. So is West Germany, which we don't even have... I might have to puppet some stuff and just send troops into West Berlin like I'm planning on doing :P.

Or I could stay Hoxha and invade Greece to bring socialism to the great eternal nation, internationalism, ho!

Probably shouldn't do that.

Actually Iraq is part of the Arab League so you would be pissing off Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria and (Obviously) Iraq. All who were members by 1950 and would be very pissed off at you:L

[The Nexerus]

Responsibilities accumulating has made it hard for me to keep up with RPs reliably. I'm gonna have to drop out. RoC is open.

This is where Iran brings in Iranian Superman.



Nah but I'm gonna do some Red Storm Rising stuff to smash the League. Or not care at all, since IIRC it's not a military alliance.
