Sorry for my absence! A Volunteering position suddenly turned into a Volunteer Leadership position I was not expecting at all so things have been hectic.

Look at you posers, having to bang dragons or sell your soul for magic when you could just play a lute for some. Anyways, here's Wonderwall. - Bards

I'm actually going to have to cut you short right there especially with the Amazon expansion idea. To be honest, the RP was never set to go outside mainland USA, which I'm now thinking of changing. But going all the way into South America? That's definitely a no go, I'm sorry, doesn't matter that it would happen in a decade or so. If that was the case it'd literally soon be "Faux Americas recolonize the world" simulator and that's just glossing over all the other nations in South America which would certainly not enjoy someone coming in an claiming all their rubber. Same thing with rare earth elements in Africa, you would have to go through at least half a dozen African warlords just to step foot into a mine.
As much as this is going to sound somewhat mean, a British empire-styled colonization and trade empire is simply impossible with your current nation and something which I am not going to just allow. Britain had swathes of populations which they could use for colonists while still maintaining a strong military, something you don't have the luxury of since even with an unrealistic 100% enlistment rate, you would still have a smaller military than just about everyone else. And as for the last bit, once again another nation can just subjugate you and demand the goods at extremely tiny prices or nothing at all.

@ShorticusThat was actually my post and I thought the number was something like only 3 thousand :P
@NerevarineSomething I'm already seeing as an issue is what you ahve listed under resources of bio fuel and farm machinery with weaponry also being a slight concern.
As I've stated in the past along with [@Dihn AaronMK], any hope of producing anything close to modern machinery on a level which you can trade with it is pretty much gone and whatever is still working is not traded by anyone. Unless you happen to mean stuff like plows which is more fesable.
For weapons its not as much of a concern as melee weapons are not hard too make and muskets and bolt actions aren't complicated to gun nuts. Semi-auto might be a bit harder but its still reachable. Reconstructing a machine gun on the other hand is a very, very difficult process but can be done assuming you have the time, resources and skill to do it.
The biggest concern is the bio-fuel, I know I've talked to someone else about this with the help of Dihn, but bio-fuels in significant quantities are an unfeasible idea. The primary reason we can develop bio-fuels today is that we have enough food to feed ourselves and farming no longer takes dozens of people to do. However, after the end, people now have to farm by hand and food is much more scarce; people don't want fancy bio-fuel, they just want to be fed.
However, I am willing to give you some leeway with food production, just not the bio-fuel stuff, and let the soil of the land you own be less irradiated and more fertile (given you're basically on a river) thus letting you have surpluses of food for trade. And seeing some places routinely go through famines and food shortages, that's nothing to sneeze at in terms of trade opportunities.

If possible I'd like to claim territory around the Mississippi River between Missouri and Illinois, playing a feudal kingdom of agriculturalists descended from a mass migration of African-Americans out of the Michigan and Chicago areas towards the River for its value as a source of water and fertile land.
Alright, go a head.

It's so hot when they admire our usage of plastic in everything because there isn't oil to make plastic out of on a spaceship that can't go faster than light.
<Snipped quote by ClocktowerEchos>
As an asexual who finds the idea of sex repulsive and has refused it on multiple occasions, I would do unspeakable things to those Quarian hips.
Wait, do you like the way they admire plastic or their ass?

Tali is waifu, Tali is laifu.
My fetish is cultural differences brought on by wildly differing circumstances.
That is probably one of the most intellectually cultured fetish I have ever seen. Good job.

Tali best waifu?
Here I am hoping that the galaxy is more like the one in Mass Effect.
That has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I'd totally fuck an asari or a quarian.

@The Emperors Blade I like it. Nice break from the usual and the Orkyness is always a lovable sight in my book. I kinda want to see your Boys go up against Steel Legion Immortals just for some good old primal brawl and shits and giggles.
Accepted.
