"For each post that mentions military the probability of war draws closer to one." - Serpentine88

Well now it's just a waiting game because of our IC posts 100% of them mention the military. >:D

The Story
The Democratic Republic of Congo, a French-speaking, jungle nation in Central Africa has been devastated by war for nearly twenty years. Branching from the Tutsi-led Rwandan civil war in the 90s, when Rwanda Hutu militia fled to the Congo and took up refuge, using their camps as bases to launch incursion against Congolese ethnic Tutsis, the war has spiralled out of control ever since with varying causes for fighting and levels of conflict.

During the First Congo War (1996-97) when Ugandan and Rwandan militaries joined together and invaded eastern Zaire (the Congo) the coalition which would become the “Alliance des Forces Démocratiques pour la Libération du Congo-Zaïre” (or the AFDL) overthrew Mobutu and reverted the nation’s name to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The new government later requested that foreign military forces return to their countries because of concerns that the Rwandan officers running the army were plotting a coup in order to give the presidency to a Tutsi who would report directly to the Rwandan president, Paul Kagame. Rwandan troops retreated to Goma and launched a new Tutsi led rebel military movement called the Rassemblement Congolais pour la Democratie (RCD) to fight against Kabila, while Uganda instigated the creation of new rebel movement called the Movement for the Liberation of Congo (MLC), led by the Congolese warlord Jean-Pierre Bemba.

The two rebel movements, along with Rwandan and Ugandan troops, started the Second Congo War by attacking the DRC army in 1998. Angolan, Zimbabwean and Namibian militaries entered on the side of the government. As of 2013 the wars of these groups is still brutal, with an estimated 45,000 dying per month and 400,000 rape victims per year. UNSC’s Intervention Brigade, an offensive peacekeeping force, is still deep in combat with Ugandan, Sudanese, and Rwandan national rebels fighting to oust the democratic government.

It is here we live. It is here we fight. Each man has his reasons, and his goals. Each person has their faction or purpose. The future of our homes is at stake, do you support the government, or are you simply trying to make a living? Will you pick up a rifle and defend the Democratic process, or slip into the jungle and live free to do as you please? Is God your guide, or your weapon? You decide Congo’s fate now…

Why thank you.NS is done, twas mainly copy pasting things. I wonder however, could a switch of government in France be in order? I'll be honest, the socialists, despite how leftist I am, are especially in a context of 'Impending economic doom' so hilariously incompetent at leading this country it's not even funny.Also, read the IC and, relating to the black sea, I'll drop .Considering Turkey is a NATO member, well... and of course, there's the fact that there's nothing preventing anyone from pulling a Soviet on you.

Though I was not aware of the treaty, I will certainly make a mention of it. And perhaps a blocking of Chinese warships could be interesting. Though, imo, it's way to early for China to be stepping on toes.

Wernher, I've never been one to hold grudges. I'd love to see you here, you're a superb NRPer. :)

How would that even work? Just play multiple countries?

Pretty much, yes. But more like playing your country of choice 95% of the time, and then NPCing the EU as an entity when the meetings happen and decide how the EU reacts to world happenings and stuff.

Whatchu' doin' in Romania?

I'm doing in Romania whatever I want to do in Romania, punk.

No but seriously, I'm probably going to just send a small contingent of Task Group Black Tiger to chill in the Black Sea and call it a "Russia-China Cooperative Naval Exercise" or something so the Europeans don't get all upset about the Chinese being in European waters. :p

We mean nobody any harm! We come in peace (99% of the time)!
