Mutually Assured Destruction

Working on my sheet, to be completed ASAP.

I can work with that, Brink. You can be my Malayan Emergency.

Also taking current colony applications. Want 3, preferably.

<Snipped quote by So Boerd> I've been mulling that over, torn between something Asian or Slavic inspired, but definitely communist flavoured. There are widespread protests in my nation according to the roll, so think reactionary Russia dealing with upstart commies and anti-monarchists. What are you going to do, Boerd? Perhaps we can then start with creating two different ideologies. <Snipped quote by shadowkiller912> Since Boerd declined, I'll say yes. From what I have of my history, that could tie in with a revolutionary movement on the homefront. Pulling back from fringe territories/colonies coincided with the formation of the new regime (or the beating down of rebels). Imperial overstretch wrecking havoc all around. I'd say my nation has been on the rebound since the latter part of our World War II equivalent.

@Sini

I'm a Liberal-Conservative state. Pro-Imperialism, hawkish and interventionist, moderate fiscal and extreme social conservatives. Basically a 19th century mentality in the 20th century. Only the rhetoric changed, not the beliefs. Ostensibky in favor of free trade but certain discrete measures exist to favor intraimperial trade.

Here is the map. Legend: Controlled directly by me (Reds): Dark Red: Region of dense population and industrialization; the heartland. Red: Historical homeland of my to be named people. Salmon: Colonial acquisitions under direct rule, either because they are pro-homeland or have a small enough population to be easily manageable Colonies (Other colors): Simply requested areas for players/NPCs who are my colonies to be. Only a request, and if you wish to be a current/ex colony in a different location, 99% I will be OK with it.

Looks more like a pacifist European country than a former colony, IMHO. If you were my colony you would have never left. I can keep 8,000,000 in line.

Mutually Assured Destruction

<Snipped quote by So Boerd> I think that might be a good idea. I was considering being a former colony ruled by an ethnic minority (settlers, I suppose) who are most certainly not the natives and who exert their will via the relatively competent military.

@The Captain

Sure. What is our current constitutional relationship?

Mutually Assured Destruction

@Sini @So Boerd Would either one of you be acceptable with my nation being a former colony of one of yours? My current take on my NS history is that it fought a revolutionary war for freedom against their colonizers from 1929-1935 being the first successful revolution in the world in which a conquered native people kicked out the foreign power that colonized/conquered them. Depending on your nation (upon which is based on a RL nation) it will effect its name and culture etc.

@shadowkiller912

A successful colonial revolt would make it super hard for there to be public support for continued military operations in the colonies, which is the very core of my nation. Thank you, but I must decline.

Sini, what is your super power's ideology?

Mutually Assured Destruction

You have Uranium, but no reactors and certainly no weapons as of yet, as I believe those are strictly within the purview of superpowers.
