Who died and let him become the judge of dumb?
The amount of raw intelligence and nerdiness coming from those other Precipricks or Precipicers or whatever else they call themselves is enormous.

Either they read way too much stuff on everything, or they can research superduper fast.
xDDD
nice sig, vilage
go away pepperm1nts, you probably only know of half of what we're talking about.

If you know all of it
go away anyways
Mars Situation
The Draconian Supreme rolled his eyes, and again the voice spoke, though it was obviously imitating Faust as she spoke to Dmitri.
"You're in my area, Faust, stop thinking you know everything and can do anything. Every one of us is dangerous, even your Equestrians. Your warning is fault, because everyone here is dangerous. Dmitri can call on support from so many races that I could count them on my fingers and toes, these guards have weapons that may very well kill me with one hit, if I were a normal Draconian. The Equestrians are more likely to accidentally tear themselves apart, but they can still do some damage. For a peacekeeping nation, you're very warring. I think you and your race has strayed, because a true peacekeeper looks to all for peace, not just a select few."

((I'm not going to just let you be all high-and-mighty when you can't do anything to Restukuu. You do whatever you want to me, but you can't do anything to Restukuu, or however it's spelled. Seriously, you put a limitation on yourself by doing that, you can't just change the power of someone whenever you want."
ach, not the UN, NATO, was it? One of those big first-world alliances with lots of power, not just political.

and I don't think that INTERPOL would be able to focus on a global corporation that has no real consistent location after a world war.

And I would have it so that the designs and the like are exclusive, but the technology itself isn't. If an entity funds the research of, say, a special railgun tank, with some kind of fancy laser cannon on top for use against, say, drones or mines, then the tank itself would be exclusive to that investor, but the stuff and know-how would just be re-designed into something else to sell to the highest bidder. The quality and quantity of that item, however, would be decided by the amount invested. If someone invested a great deal for something, then the publicly-sold resdesign of it wouldn't be as good, to make the exclusive models better and more valuable.

And if the APIRCA were to be branded a terrorist organization, then so what? How would they all be caught, with the world divided and in ruins? There are still naval fleets, sure, and satellites, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you'll be able to find them before they disappear again. They aren't exactly defenseless. The higher the priority, the more likely you won't be getting close. There will be, no doubt, better submarines, torpedoes, depth charges, anti-air laser turrets, railgun ship turrets, and missile defenses, as well as maybe one or two VTOL types that could be used.
If that's alright, Keyguy.
I'm bumping up my fleet from under a hundred thousand to over a million. If there is more than 30 planets to every one of my ships, then I'm going to need something bigger. Just send all your people in space, my fleet will die before you get 10% into space.
Mars Situation
The Supreme Draconian opened his claw, and bowed his head, in an oddly Draconian gesture.
"That is why humans are special. You are the biggest nation, leading an alliance, the biggest this galactic cluster will, more than likely, ever see. You have no special gifts, and yet you are mediocre at everything, and in some cases, can go above and beyond at anything. I do not think any other races such as yours have had such a faction, with so many races, people, planets, and galaxies, nor an army that can match in size and firepower, am I correct?"

Then, with eerily silence, the Draconian turned his head towards the vent shaft in the room, staring right at the Collective's people, though everyone else was still unaware, and spoke throughout the room and shafts with his mind.
An interesting concept, these souls, is it not?
One could detect humor and mock seriouesness in the unspoken voice.

Aeternals
Reluctantly, the Supremes opened a pathway through both the small Supreme Fleet, and the Equestrian fleet. Corvettes turned the pathway into a brilliant tunnel of swirling blues, greens, and reds, keeping Equestrians from attempting to claim the Aeternals as their own, due to their exclamations about how they had already decided to join them. Many of the Warships 'ported away, and after the Aeternals had left, the rest of the Warships and Corvettes 'ported and folded away, respectively.
Exactly. Can't always believe what the US says, especially with money.

I did also say that the US were funding it. Not just the UN. Don't just take the weakest part of what I say, and use that to disprove or discredit all of it.

Now, private entities could see that, hey, this newly-publisized APIRCA is moving, hard to hit, and therefore a safe investment, plus one could probably connect some of the UN's recent technologies in weapons and vehicles to the APIRCA, and figure, hey, this is safe and it could benefit us in protecting ourselves in this war.

So they'd invest, they'd get products, and both sides win. And that'd continue with private entities, and nations that wish to defend themselves as best as they can, or wish to join with one of their allies and beat back enemies. And because APIRCA isn't much of a side-taker, then they'd sell to both sides, earn money from both sides, and succeed in eliminating competition. The less nations and private entities, the better, because there is less competition and chance of being targeted themselves. If the world keeps going downhill, then they can simply wait, and then start seizing lands for themselves when their numbers are big enough, and everyone elses' are low enough. If it starts going uphill, and the world begins restabilizing, then a Cold War might happen again, and the APIRCA would make money by selling weapons that would never be used. After that, then they can begin focusing on tools and utilities, construct geothermal plants and offshore solar arrays and the like, and make money from that.

They're prepared to sell what they can market, which can go both ways. Unless, of course, they're targeted and shunned, but that's unlikely, since there is always a buyer. Always.

EDIT: And in terms of software, I suppose they could also have a good deal of tech there, too. You just kinda added that bit.
Although I don't think software or hardware will be that high in demand at this point. The internet would probably have fractured in many places, leaving just parts here and there, and power grids in larger nations more than likely would have fallen, and needed repairs, so there would probably be much more manual-control systems instead of wireless or something.
I'm just saying that while nations would probably have a decrease in technology, due to the bombings and war and everything, the APIRCA, which is waterborn, mobile, and funded by the UN, would have a BOOST. In times of war, funding would increase for better tech, and more people would be moved over. Resources would be assigned, and generally, the war would have APIRCA flourish. So in the aftermath of the war, when APIRCA's masters have disintegrated and fallen, they will have free reign, no longer held up by anyone else. The North American Federation [I think it's called] would know of it, but wouldn't inherit the contracts that bind the former US to the APIRCA, nor would they be the same government, so the restriction policies and everything put into place could be called invalid, and so the APIRCA would legally and officially become independent, not just in name.

And so there could be a whole host of new things they could have designed in the time between their creation, and then end of the war.
