[OOC] Age of Rebirth (Post WW3)

[EveryMemeAKing]

Once we get 10 to 12 (depends on how I feel when we get there) accepted sheets, I shall allow posting in the IC

[Zadubadabu]

Thinking about joining this, but first a question. Could I lay claim to Antarctica as a nation formed by troubled scientists during the War that wanted to escape the global situation? And as such have a small (population wise) nation made up mostly of scientists who have made great advances in climate control and other such areas due to their particular location?

@Zadubadabu

I would actually be fine with this.

What allowed, large, solid-state lasers, tank rail guns, or both?

@Durandal

Both are apparently allowed.
Solid-state lasers aren't THAT big and decades of development can certainly shrink them down.
We already have laser point defenses thanks to Rheinmetall. They are sure not as OP as portrayed in sci-fi. They are a nice way to compliment your already long list of countermeasures.

As for Railguns...well, they have issues in general.
Power requirements (same as big lasers in the MW range), wear on the rails (IIRC about 30 shots prior to replacement) and issues with the ammunition options.
Actually, I think I may stick with the "conventional" cannons.
The navy is interested in railguns because it'd give them a cheaper alternative to missiles and rocket-assisted projectiles when bombarding from range. The raw velocity of the projectile turns it into an explosive.

Cool. I'll start writing up a Nation Sheet then. I'll post the WIP once I get it to a point I like.

@Willy Vereb

I'm familiar with some of these things. Though I think I may stick with conventional cannons as well. I completely forgot about weapons companies in Germany and Italy, though who knows how man of their employees I would even have left. Employees that matter, at least. But then, I in no position for war so whatever.

Hey, MetalLover. Fancy an Orthodox defensive pact against the Caliphate?

@Iluvatar

Yes, I would like that a lot.

[Durandal]

@Willy Vereb
Do you suppose any form of agreements or treaties would have been made between Neo-Hungaria and the GEC before 2050?

Sure, why not?
20 years is a long time.

Awesome.

[Willy Vereb]

BTW, I wanted to mention this in Neo Hungaria's profile but I couldn't find the appropriate place for it.
Basically the overgrown mustaches are enjoying a new reneissance in Neo Hungaria.


Imagine a nation where mustaches like this are almost like the norm.

This is a question for anyone that can be bothered to read it.

Do you think the Hellenic Kingdom has achieved 'great power' status?

Wikipedia's definition is as follows:

A great power is a sovereign state that is recognized as having the ability to exert its influence on a global scale.

Just asking so I can be as realistic as possible in the RP.

[Willy Vereb]

@IluvatarI don't think many nations can currently influence on the global scale.
What with previous relations breaking down and everything still being a mess.
In the modern world it's easier to be a "great power" than in a setting like this.

Besides, with great power comes great responsibility.

@Willy Vereb

I guess so XD

Although Britain and China appear to wield significant power. Perhaps they're only at 'great power' status, but compared to the rest of the world, they are the equivalent of 'superpowers' perhaps.

I can see a really weird Cold War brewing here...

[The Nexerus]

^Speaking of China and Britain, with you going Greek I'm thinking of changing things so that Australia and New Zealand are under British sovereignty once again. Thoughts?

Is Slovenia European or Hungarian?

<Snipped quote by Mihndar>

With over 51 million muslims in your country, it might be wise to avoid the torn of Allah. That are 51 million potential terrorists waging Jihad on the oppressive infidels of the Sovjet Empire :D

@Milkman

In retrospect, I might have to lower that XD

<Snipped quote by Milkman>

I'm never going to get over that name. EVER.

@Keyguyperson

Yep. Me either.

<Snipped quote by Mihndar>I thought you already have them? I mean based on the map it seems obvious you have Ukraine, for example.
And that you are my direct neighbor.

As for which countries still have nuclear arsenals it's a bad way to ask it.
Because there's no reason a country wouldn't work on their atomic project.
Actually, Neo Hungaria built nukes after WW3.

@Willy Vereb

I have Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan besides Russia of course. Though with the OP'S permission I would like to request also having the rest of Soviet Central Asia and the Caucasus, considering I am bordered by a nation that controls all of East Asia and the more than two billion people there and you know, a country that is half of Europe.

Hey, MetalLover. Fancy an Orthodox defensive pact against the Caliphate?

@Iluvatar

The Russians want in on this.

Fixed.

Well I mean Greece was already in debt during now so.. how would have gotten great power 40 years later?

40 years of Golden Dawn.

@The Nexerus

Would Australia and New Zealand agree to this? Then again, the True Asians did invade Australia - perhaps in exchange for British support you gain de facto sovereignty over them?

Not my decision though.

<Snipped quote by Iluvatar>

<Snipped quote by Iluvatar>

Fixed.

@Mihndar

Well, it's almost impossible to successfully invade Russia. So, yes, I would certainly be in favour of a powerful and militarily invulnerable power backing little tiny Greece up :D

I'm sure Ethiopia would also agree, but see what they say.

Sorry for leaving Russia out of the list, but I was looking at the Characters tab :3
