Oh, and duck, the armor suits aren't like the in-game suits. They've got a good resistance to small arms fire, to the point where they'd actually be able to take a dozen or so hits before getting something injured, like a laceration or broken bone. But, they do have enhanced reflexes and the like. Not super-duper, but better than humans that aren't taking martial arts classes for fun. And, obviously, connected to the service rifles the soldiers carry, and a special side-arm, so that they can see where they're pointing with a transparent laser-light-ish-thingy. Like, aiming without having to bring your rifle up. And, nightvision, infrared, etc.But they're hard to make, so they're rare. See one, run away is your best bet, unless you're in close with an automatic shotgun, you're out of range with a heavy weapon, like a snuperrifle, or you have a couple spare grenades to toss.But That made the old CoD's so fun ^.^

As it turns out, the Confederation has a legal reason. If the dowry is paid, they may be reclaimed. I can take them by conquest/coup if it is an issue.

It's also old enough to not be taken seriously anymore, and the UK'd probably decline the payment since the world has moved on so much. More so given the dynastic ownership of Scotland has ended, more-than-likely voiding all legal dealings with the state. And to compound that: so has the ruling house of England. There's no one left standing with any pretense to claim that debt. Even in Norway most likely.

Plus in EU and Viccy 2 terms: Norway lost the core a long time ago.

The thing about Shetland and Orkney though is that they're now majority British or Scottish, a far-cry from what they were in the early 15th century. Now-a-days only several hundred individuals on Shetland identify as not-British, white (page 18, paragraph 1. The same can be said for Orkney where at least less than .5% of the region identifies as "minority white".

They'd be more readily supportive of Scottish succession than going to Norway or Sweden. The Scots are far less removed in the UK that the old isolated Nordic communities. And from what I've gathered, the bid to join Norway by either Orkney or Shetland is more ironic in the face of another Scottish independence Referendum. And the celebration of Norway's constitution looks to be like how we celebrate St Patrick's day in the US: for one day we get to pretend to be Irish for probably ironic reasons.

It's not to say the US will ever join Ireland, or Boston will succeed from the Union because it's so Irish.

I don't get why you would get the Shetland and Orkney Islands. They haven't been Nordic to any degree for close to a thousand years. They're closer to being Scottish than anything at this point. It's like saying coastal/Southern Ireland should break off from the Republic of Ireland and go to the Danes because there were Vikings there for a long time.

The Estonians - who are also more closely tied with that of Finland itself than the Germanic Norweigens and Swedes- and the Baltic nationalities of the rest of the Baltic region (Lithuanian, Livonia, Pomerania, Prussia), which'd be enough of a basis of ethnic difference that'd be a source of contention.

Also claiming higher birth rates sort of runs contradictory to the pattern of post-industrial societies having lowering birth rates. Especially if they're going to take steps at stuff like sex-ed which enfranchises folks like women and is a way to tell them, "They don't gotta" or how not to.

Also damn, could you maybe use spaces? It's sort of an eyesore to look at that, no offense.

Rogue wasn't articulate, and he asked for a small bit of Russia as I recalled, or it was as I recalled. What the issue was was when he tried to over-step his ability and godmod all up and down Russia to acquire the rest of it in something short of a week in RP time.

To go to war with the rest of Russia to reclaim it is a matter that'd take years to accomplish. It would have been an epic long-arcing story to write.

What's more is that he had a tendency to do really improbable things. His Russia was apparently connected by a vast underground Metro network and his new Russia's wealth was accumulated from mining out whatever he found when building those tunnels. But most of the rock he was digging it would have been only worth gravel. He also claimed to have large-scale nuclear reactors even deeper powering it all.

He was a pathological god-modder, and if you challenged him on anything he'd throw a childish fit and claim to be the victim where we just want him on everyone else's level so we'd have uniform fairness. I haven't heard good stories about him either from other RP's, such as his factions somehow having a knack for finding spies before they even arrive.

Actually wait, I forgot Kalingrad.



Now it's good.

Also, I updated the map:



I had issues uploading last night because dA was borked. I also fixed some borders.

Not to mention the fact that the particle accelerators themselves would take up huge amounts of space, be extremely expensive to build, take a long time to build, and suck in ludicrous amounts of energy. There's also the fact that a lot of nations are not going to be happy about APRICA trying to make antimatter, and, at the very least, such would make them a prime target of intelligence agencies that aren't interested in paying for the research. That much energy being used and created is going to be VERY visible to any well-equipped government or corporation, both visually (the buildings) and non-visibly; detection equipment is going to go crazy with that much energy in one place.

And to make them work and fit in such small places would mean they're require a lot of energy. Friend of mine studying in the field informed me that smaller accelerators require an intense amount of energy to maintain, and larger ones require less or something.

Mhmmm.

In any event, he told me in PMs the Poles were the first to be attacked. Then he knocked over the Netherlands and Belgians last.

Oh hey, now maybe Maarsa can get some love.
