Would you be willing to provide some sort of assistance then?
No offense to the PRK, but I'm fairly certain the Emperor doesn't see you as quite as much of a destabilizing threat lol


Well it depends, what would you have to offer? Tsar Voltus is an accommodating individual but he won't put his men at risk for nothing, there would have to be incentive. That and I'd like to know the size of your army, how professional it is.. Etc.

Well this sums up some of the troops pretty well:


In all seriousness, they're less disciplined and drilled compared to other nation's but are kept in line by the hope they can impress their commanding officer or even the Emperor himself.

As for size, still working it out but considering the entire nation went into baby factory mode 200 years ago and the military uses both sexes, I think it has a pretty large number of troops.

What Fuso can offer is the same as what the Dominion is offering Cyclone, oil reserves, its attempted mithril alloy (which is pretty good for the process they used to make it and is used in aircraft), walkers and various ores which can be found in its border

I think Ventium at start would contribute around 5000 troops and a few airships but I don't think they would contribute massively other then selling weapons and possibly joint exercises to help train your troops but you shouldn't expect much unless something serious goes down. But maybe we should just discuss in IC the main points.

So basically an expeditionary force and air support, that's still much appreciated.

Just as a general thing, I'm certain that Fuso and Izuno will start at war, will everyone else in this also be in it at the start or will it be people joining in later on?

Wait, wait, will I be starting off at war with the PRK? Because of so then this is a very different kettle of fish. I was anticipating negotiations and things not straight into it.

No, I'm asking if this will start as an isolated conflict with other people joining in as time progresses or if everyone just dog piles on at the start.

Also, how exactly will you get into a conflict with the PRK? They're potentially a supporter of Fuso.

Will the dominion not be with the PRK and are we not against the dominion?

We need @Mihndar to weigh in regarding the PRK.

As in for Moravia, @Sigma I'd say that they've been importing resources from (and potentially supplying) the Dominion for a while now.

@Cyclone Sounds good with me :)

Also @ClocktowerEchos, I've been thinking on some other differences between our militaries. I'm thinking the Dominion could a bit sexist in that women play a very limiting role in the military(mostly support staff and medics) and thus, the army is much smaller, but to compensate for that, the Dominion Army is more professional then their Imperial counterparts(Considering they have none-zensen in their ranks).

Could be due to influence from the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth doesn't allow women to vote and is really conservative on things relating to their rights in general.

Makes sense I guess. I'm going to say the fluff for those reasons is that as other races joined in, they didn't embrace the idea of unisex armies quite as much as traditional Zensen since they never really had a reason to conscript women unlike the Zensen. And without a sort of god-emperor, Dominion officer rely on traditional drill and discipline rather than Fuso's zealotry and reverence.

Would it be fair to say that Izuno's domestic equipment wouldn't really be able to compare to Fuso's domestic equipment and such too though? It'd almost make a little sense seeing as the Dominion is more of a federation of races and peoples while Fuso is a centralized monarchy/administration.

Just two more questions I have, what's your casus belli (what's the reason for the fighting?) and how does your equipment differ?

I'd say that's quite fair, yes. :)

Reason for fighting? I'd say the Descendants have had it drilled into them that they of course, are the True Inheritors of the Fuso Empire, and to even let the False Emperor's Line continue on like it has is an insult to the First Exiles, and of course to them, the war hasn't ended, merely lowered in escalation(for now that is, think the Korean War).

As for Equipment, it somewhat differs. Some copies of a few of Fusan weapons may be in the Izuno Armory, along with weapons giving by the Commonwealth(pretty much the real heavy hitter guns) and perhaps even copies of PRK weapons. Izuno may also be in possession of their own exclusive weapons.(They of course, are crap compared to Fusan guns though :P )

I'd like the rocket launcher with a side of the rugged Vz .30-06. If you have any fine machine guns, I'd like one of those too, shaken not stirred.

@Voltus_VentusIs it fine if I use jet engines?
Jets were operational in the 30s already. With some extra effort to them, mithril and elven engineering I think I can make them reliable.
They consume more fuel, wear out the engines faster and have other weaknesses compared to propeller craft.
What they have is speed, less noise and perhaps simpler construction.

I suppose you can have it, though I would be grateful if you would decrease what you have on your hard points.

An arms deal can be reached but you'd probably be not the only one to purchase fine quality Ventian goods.

I'd like to discourage all this PRK-bashing, please.

Kataylabinsk's foreign relations are definitely going to be influenced by who all ends up around us. Guaranteed, Avalia's going to be first on the list of people we reach out to (followed by Zenovia as a parliamentary constitutional monarchy). If the rest of you guys are all monarchies and the odd fascist dictatorship, it's going to be a lot more amenable to picking one of the monarchies as a tacit ally. Certainly we won't be all lovey-dovey, it's an alliance of convenience. But we'll stick to commitments we make and won't attempt to foment revolution in our allies' lands.

Also, we don't do outright war on the first day. We're communists, not fascists. *sticks tongue out at Skepic*

People's Republic of Kataylabinsk




Nation Name and Basic Facts:

Proletarii Respublika iz Kataylabinsk (People's Republic of Kataylabinsk or PRK)

Demonym (describing an individual of or something belonging to the nation): Kataylan

Capital: Volodyna

National Motto: "No freedom without equality, and no equality without freedom"

Leader:
Premier Commissar Yekaterina Velikaya, Leader of the Working People, Hero of the Revolution and Empress of the Former Imperium

Nation History:

For about 1500 years, the Kataylabinsk Imperium stood as one of the proudest and most powerful nations of the West. However, in the century leading up to present, following the loss of various colonies, the Imperium decayed politically and economically, unable to adjust to modern life. In its decayed state, the Kataylabinsk Imperium was an feudal monarchy in which the Emperor was merely a figurehead and the interests of petty nobles and a rising capitalist class took precedence. While the Imperium made great technological advances thanks to this partnership of state and industry, keeping pace with the rest of the world, and indeed surpassing it in areas such as chemical development, it was unable to function as an effective polity. Despite this progress, the workers of the Kataylabinsk Imperium became increasingly disillusioned with the state of affairs as their hours grew longer and safety regulations virtually disappeared. Very little would likely have happened, however, without the interference of the new Empress, crowned sixteen years ago, who quickly built up support among both the peasantry and the industrial workers for her sympathy towards their plight. With a great deal of diplomatic intrigue, she effectively performed a coup to end the feudal system and remove all capitalist influence from the government.

Having been secretly exposed to the books of Kalyrnan (the premier socialist activist in Kataylabinsk) by her uncle, the Empress became a dedicated socialist and upon achieving her coup announced the dissolution of the Imperium and the formation of a People's Republic, believing it better for the people to not have a monarchy at all. However, this decision firmly cemented her popularity and in a marvelous manipulation of events, she was elected the first Executive Commissar of the PRK. She has since then increased her nation's military forces to a significantly greater size, began an extensive spy network to support worker's revolutionary movements in other countries, and opened her nation's borders to refugees and dissenters from across the world as a refuge, bolstering Kataylabinsk's low population to reasonable numbers.

Race:

The People's Republic of Kataylabinsk is majority human, but it contains large minorities of various different races. Ethnic or species discrimination is banned and heavily enforced, but there is some underlying racial tension.

Form of Government:

Socialist Republic. The foremost leader is the Premier Commissar or Premier, and there is a Supreme Worker's Council made up of an upper house of the following:

Agricultural Commissar: Vasiliy Filatov
Industrial Commissar: Vyacheslav Starovolkov
Welfare Commissar: Angela Garanina
Energy Commissar: Leonid Marinkin
Political Commissar: Anton Chepurin
Foreign Commissar: Miroslav Yerkhov
Justice Commissar: Tatiana Mashir
Intelligence Commissar: Anjelika Adraneda
Treasury Commissar: Adam Aleyev
War Commissar: Vladimir Emin
Transportation Commissar: Daria Trufanova
Health Commissar: Irina Kilesso
Education Commissar: Aleksei Sadykov

All of these positions are elected by the people working in the various industries, namely teachers for education, soldiers for war, farmers for agriculture, in order to represent their interests to the upper house. The terms for these and for the lower house are five years each. The lower house is represented proportionally by population, and functions similarly to the government of the United Kingdom by which different parties or factions are elected to different proportions of the house. Parties which are labeled "anti-socialist" are not allowed to compete for office. Laws and decisions must pass with a majority vote through both houses, and must be approved by the Executive Commissar unless they have an overriding majority of 80%. This allows the Premier Commissar almost complete control over the final decisions.

Total Population:

92,110,000 (56,360,000 humans)

Nation Location:



Nation Geography:

The lands of Kataylabinsk are predominantly flat tundra, with some grasslands and hills near to the bottom of the nation where most of its agriculture is based. A number of small mountain ranges separate it from its southern neighbors. In the northern tundra lies significant reserves of oil, which mostly goes into making petrochemicals and plastic.

Economic Overview:

The economic system of the PRK is a market socialist economy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_socialism) in which farms, factories, and industries are owned cooperatively by the workers that work in them, electing managers democratically. The Agricultural, Industrial, Energy, and Transportation Commissars make up a Central Planning Board that helps to coordinate these cooperatives towards the best interests of the nation, though the primary economic power is held by the workers. Certain of the highest-level industries, mostly those dealing with weapons manufacture, are handled exclusively by the state.

The People's Republic of Kataylabinsk is heavily industrialized, but its economy is primarily centered around chemical manufacture and processing and electronics rather than machinery or manufactured goods, being a prime exporter of plastic, helium, artificial fertilizer, various types of fuels, radios and other simple electronics.

Technological Overview:

The People's Republic has very developed chemical and electrical industries, but their mechanical industry still remains overwhelmingly coal-based and there are no cars on its streets. Kataylabinsk is, however, still crisscrossed by an extensive railroad network which performs most of the required transportation. Electronics such as radio, lights, and even simple household devices such as heaters, toasters and dishwashers are fairly commonplace, with a reliable if dirty coal-fired electric grid. The University of Volodyna in the capital is one of the world's foremost chemistry research institutions, attracting chemists from all over the world.
