[quote=@Cyclone] Barring other factors then, it would come down to three factors, in order of importance: 1.Which nation is more powerful/offers us more value? 2.Which nation most shares our views towards Communism and the PRK and democracy? 3.Which nation is closer? I'd imagine number 2 to be roughly the same since your governments (and presumably cultures) are similar. Actually, I think it might be interesting if we just said that Moravia has supported the Dominion for a while now and one of their enemies (most likely the PRK) is now supporting Fuso, which would lead to a big proxy war. Anybody else like this idea? [/quote] I'd find the idea interesting, but its most likely not the PRK who'd help Fuso since Fuso won't want their help. They have a socialism-esque economy with the government planning quotas and such but its otherwise a free market. They'd also suspect the PRK as trying to sew seeds for a Communist revolution. As for you're questions, Fuso is the stronger one at least in terms of land and its resources, I just answred the other question and the Dominion is closer but not by much. Although, how would a proxy war like this work? The two sides nudge the empire and the dominion enough to the point its total war all over again?
