@ClocktowerEchos Self aware? Do not like that. Nervous tension between us.

@Cale Tucker

They're self aware, but loyal. Treat them like any other person and they'll treat you well. Don't worry, they aren't "commence mass genocide harvest on organic to save them for the greater cycle", they have a vested interest in society, at least on Ryukyu.

@Legion02Ryukyu's special tech is actually AI programming. Would you be interested in Ryukyuan AIs assist this robotic endeavor?

PS: They do have feelings and consider themselves to be "living" so if we do this, can you plz be nice to them? :<

In fact, saying that the UBER UN is here, actually makes it less likely that we'd have more soldiers. Uber UN is uber, right? So we're safe so we don't need soldiers. I mean we, because you and I are minor nations, not important ones.

@Wernher

Alright, this is just plain aggravating to me. Saying that minor or smaller nations don't need an army and are unimportant is self demeaning thinking. For example, Korea and Uzbekistan, the latter is much larger than the former but yet most people would confuse Uzbekistan with the Caspian Sea while Korea is a powerhouse. Even in terms of population, India has less power on the world stage than nations like France or Britain or America despite having less population. Technology? China at one point had the industrial powers of Europe at their knees for trade before opium came in.

And thinking that the Uber UN will protect us because they're the collective assembly of voices and technically have power over its memebers is a large case of naiveté in my book. World peace (or in this case, galatic peace) is a wistful daydream at best, humans biology dictates so as does the evolution and biology of all the other xeno species in play. I'm not saying I don't like world peace, but its impossible to achieve without serious moral and ethic concerns and a really big fucking army.

@Wernher

The US is a nation more or less on one content, not an Empire that covers a system of multiple planets. There's going to be a difference between numbers. I'll take a gander and say that most nations here will have much higher numbers of troops than >1% considering they have a system and subsequently a galaxy to watch over is the Super Space Consul Union of Diplomacy and Rainbows sends UN-esque peacekeepers to places.

"As of the last yearly census, roughly 20% of the population is serving in active military roles with about half the population, including the 20%, acting as reserves. These numbers are derived from conscription policies which eligible males and females have to serve a set amount of time in the military. It should be noted the numbers include non-combat roles like military police, guardsmen, medical personnel, hospitality corps, etc."

20% active military, with 30 more percent acting as reserve, half the population is linked to the army, along this you have an emperor with 100% authority on everything. The way my people see it, if one night said emperor decides to go to war, then it's nation needs 0 buildup and 0 preparation to launch an invasion the very next morning.

@Wernher

Hmmm... I'll be changing some numbers then.

However, I did state that it includes all of the other support staff which in Ryukyu is a pretty sizable number tho.

-Ryukyu: The citizens of the State are sympathetic to Ryukyu, it is familiar, like it was before the State came to be: A supreme leader heading a militaristic and socialist state with control over the heavy industry to sustain war but little else. While the State acts cordially it still prefers to limit interaction from their people with those, by fear of reawakening old ideas within the population.

@Wernher

Objection, Ryukyu isn't meant to be militaristic. They have recent military reforms but military isn't their national focus. Even just looking at their ships, they only have one real warship, everything else is either multi-use for both military and civilian use or just converted. I choose gauss-based weapons since it would make the most sense in regards to mining.

I don't plan to use them as an offensive attack force, most likely they'd be part of some relief effort of a war zone which even in that case, they would be more back line recovery units. The only way I actually see Ryukyu attacking other players is if they get called into war via alliances. Their industry is to produce and develop, not to sustain a war.

Anyone know how to make the holy drink? I need it for a very, very important event. Trust me, its important

Case in point with sonic weapons and how they apparently go right through the defenses.
It's hardly the only part but basically you overcomplicate things and do it in a way which actually makes no sense.

@Willy Vereb

That was just me asking a question, I don't think I'll actually be using sonic/sound weapons in this run.
