I might be interested in joining as Iran and playing out a funny but obviously unrealistic scenario:Mohammad Khatami is forced to roll back pro-democratic reforms after a huge wave of conservative and reactionary dissent arises from the people and military after Bush adds Iran to the Axis of Evil (Pretty much like reality). Unlike reality, the situation gets really bad, so bad that the Iranian government decide to 'vent' the public discontent by directing them towards a foreign foe. The Islamic Republic of Iran invades The Republic of Iraq in 2003 before the US/Coalition can, starting the Second Iran-Iraq War (Following after the 1980's conflict). The Invasion Casus Belli is essentially the same as Saddam used in the previous war in reverse, plus the existence of both Sunni terrorists and (obviously) the WMD's in Iraq that must be removed.Opinions? Too far-fetched(Obviously)? (Or too timeline-diverting by essentially changing the entire war on terror?)

Tier 5 is like Earth with modern space programs. Tier 4 is like if we were able to get to Mars for a weekend vacation.

Then you'd be newly emerged Tier 3, as that is when FTL is discovered according to the tier list. Tier 4 is like modern Earth with our space programs.

If they're a tier 5 and have the tech to be tier 4, why would they not be tier 4. Is your first post going to be the use of an FTL drive?
