It's cool that I'm back, right? You don't have some secret agenda against me rejoining the RP? :lol

Although there isn't a character sheet up yet, I expect relations with KalMea will be rather bad due to the fact that KalMea appears to be "devoted to their religion."

What I said to Cyclone earlier was mainly joking exaggeration: while KalMea is super-double-mega religious, they are rarely the sort to jump into a war or cause a war intentionally. That being said, if you strike first, they will gladly burn you at a stake in the name of Kal. 

KalMea was sort of the "shady arms dealer" of the original RP. It had under-the-table deals with Willy's Elves, more open weapons sales with Cyclone's nation, and was desperately trying to secure positive, trade-friendly relations with the other nations.

Chances are that if you hate KalMea, they'll just shrug, call you a filthy heathen, and try to sell you a bomb :lol

The Commonwealth isn't socialist in the sense that you're thinking; it has something of a plutocratic oligarchy that hold most of the political weight in the National Party (read: Fascist Party). Any move to become blatantly socialist would both rub against this oligarchy and get you accused of being a Communist, so naturally it wouldn't fly.

They do restrict a lot of imports and have goals of economic independence, and there may be a few state-owned corporations for transportation, utilities, weapon research and production, etc. But beyond that it's all free market.

The main reason that I describe the Commonwealth as a fascist state is because it's extremely nationalist and a dictatorship. There are elections, but aside from the National Party there are just a few minor coalition parties allowed to exist. No opposing parties or candidates are allowed, and nepotism is almost a requirement to receive a high office.

That sounds more acceptable...
