The Sun Will Never Set (A Statisticless NRP)(It had a good run)

I'm adding small explanations to my ratings like Hael did and sticking all of that in my character sheet for future reference, which I recommend to others.

I'm just glad I'm on the side of the guy with the air force to obliterate half of Tin.

@Mihndar

Fortunately it'd be hard to obliterate half of Tin. :P

The nice thing about being rural, having tons of land, and poor industrialization is that it puts a nation in a really good position to fight a defensive war. Tin's enemies would be bombing farmland, herds of cattle, and maybe mud brick houses. Defenders can just retreat endlessly and fight from the hills or ambush enemy armies from the desert. The country only has a few big cities so it's easy to concentrate all their defenses there and protect them from attack.

All of this is fortunate because it's looking like it's going to be Tin, KalMea and (maybe) Ventium against 5 or 6 nations if a war breaks out. That's great odds!

@Mihndar@Hael

Fair points, but in Tin's case I think the distaste to Republics still applies. If you recall, I think my sheet even mentions that Tinites see democracy as a whole to be strange (read: inferior) and incompatible with their tribal/cultural/religious systems. Just like how the United States looks down on Saudi Arabia for being a kingdom, Tin looks down on nations with democratically elected leaders. The idea of established nobility and bloodlines means that they find it strange both that leaders are elected and that leaders constantly change with new elections.

Historically when the French Revolution happened and the monarchy abolished, nearby Kingdoms saw it as a huge deal. A constitutional monarchy with a puppet monarch might not care, but a monarch with any power would no doubt see Republics as a threat and not want that harmful ideology to spread to his nation and get him overthrown.

@Hael

Apparently they also think KalMea is imperialist, lol. And apparently I'm a historical rival? *shrug* Tin likes to invade places, so I guess that makes them a historical enemy to most nations in the region.

So how would the ethnic Tinite population have gotten there? Moved in from other nations like KalMea?

Out of curiosity, what would be the PRK's laws regarding Tin? I presume a full embargo and banned immigration from Tin?

Alright, thanks.

I'm gonna sting you up on a flagpole, commie.

@Hael

Careful about what precedent you set, because I recall you being the thread Commy only yesterday. :P

On a more serious note, is Tolon Bey a better name than Bey Chugo? I'm trying to finally finish up my sheet so I'm not caught with my pants down when the RP starts.

@Willy Vereb

Dead elves do seem to solve a lot of problems, though

And before I even posted my last thing they clarify for us. Well, with Voltus it looks like it'll be the bombs. Fair enough.
