[OOC] Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

[Space Communist]

Also I'd just like to announce that henceforth we'll pretend Prussia was always named Germany. I was thinkin' recently about how that never really made sense. It was Feo who named it that though so blame him. But yeah, Germany is better.

@Pepperm1nts

How about the Holy Roman Empire? Or maybe Germania. /s

[Wilted Rose]

Or Weimar, or Saxony!

[Space Communist]

Maybe even Nazi Germ--oh wait.

Hmmm, if i intend to be Chile then; has Mindar been around?

Hey Spain, remember that there is no cargo full of cocaine coming your way from colombia.

So... Due to misunderstandings, can I rewrite Japans most recent history from my app, and can we disregard my.first post? I want to take out the whole "let's take some more bits of Asia" part out now that I know it would be a suicide mission.

Damn, Iso back too. Now all we need is Arnie, Nova, Cerb, Prospo, and Shade.

@Shiro

If you make any additions, we'll have to review them But I think we'd all be cool with that. The professional thing to do would be editing the disregarded post to be about a frog burping, but if you want to save it for posterity that is cool too.

[Pepperm1nts]

Only in PoW can that be considered professional.

So Byrd man, here's the scenario I have so far: -In the year 1961 around December, the military Dictator Benito* Muñez begins to mobilize his troops, under the pretense of "Bringing Panama back to Colombia". -The somewhat organized military begins to march into colombia and occupy multiple towns, but continue their advancements. -The colombian military manages to advance to the Canal despite resistance from Panama's people. -America, despite Benito believing a isolationist America, dealing with florida's rebellion and canada's invasion would be too occupied to bother, intervenes and more than likely the colombian military will be totally screwed in Panama. -Chances are Colombia's neighbors condemn the act of blatant imperialism, mainly so they stay on the USA's good side and because South America's colonies tend to like keeping borders the way they are from what I recall. But the real fun comes in the political fallout of Colombia's military dictatorship trying to do such blatant land-grab. Chances are the dictator gets a counter coup and the timocracy republic gets restored, but it wouldn't be the same. However, what the US and/or Brazil does to Colombia is what I need to take into account. However the end result I am trying to get for Colombia is essentially a even less stable mess of a place where land lords need to raise personal militias just to defend themselves. As already said in the lore and mihndar's colombia related postings, Colombia is swamped in guerrillas and druglords to the point where Brazil led interventions to stop cocaine from getting all over the continent and spain are rather frequent, especially as of recent. Despite all that, there still is a functioning state.

@zombieaccount

Sure. As long as the US is keeping the canal I'm happy.

[Jeddaven]

I realize that most of the countries I mentioned aren't serious enemies, but I'm basically looking for a way to mitigate the enemies from within in a propaganda campaign. The point of the campaign is to make the dissidents see the Polish government as trying to protect the freedom of their people from the plausible baddie of the day.

EDIT: The slogan on the poster will read "For freedom, ours and yours."

Oh god too many South America apps my head hurts INVADE THEM ALL

Still here, still trying to finish this post if I can scrounge up the time.

@Byrd Man

But what the US do in the situation that some colombians try taking the canal? I need to take into account the degree of retaliation.

Quick and painless. For Byrd, anyway.

@zombieaccount

I imagine they would send military force to the canal zone in that event. That would supplement the men who would already be there to defend the canal during the war. They'd drive the Colombians off. What happens after that would depends on the size of the force and how involved the government was in the attempted seizure, but I don't imagine a flat out declaration of war and large-scale operations in Colombia.
