I think that we should just assume that Spartan is gone...waiting for him might just ruin the forum.

Well, before I join, I'd like to now a little about the world first, I can't just jump right in!!!

[Mao]

monolith, sorry, religious freedom is now the norm and Tibet is very happy. They have representation in the government just like every other province.

[monolith94]

Damn, no uprisings for me. . .

So, what countries would you reccomend I 'take-over'? Are there any still available?

[Mao]

There's a map in the thread if you need to see what natinos to take...

[monolith94]

Hmmmmmm. . . Ethiopia looks promising. . .

I need some more information however, such as whatyear is it, and what would be realistic statistics for Ethiopia?

[gscott23x3]

monolith...by all means take Canada!! I just fought a war to liberate them from European Influences and i have rebuilt their infrastructure, and a million people have flooded into the nation to repopulate it and also expend it!! It is Independent but under my military protection!! Feel free to take it cuz pretty much all the other nations are taken...you would have Ontario and New Foundland and if you wanted to i wouldnt mind allowing you to have my portion of Quebec!! All under military protection...what more could you ask for??

[Mao]

It's April 2001 I believe...right?

[monolith94]

Sounds good! With your agreement, I shall now go introduce the Republic of Canada!

[Mao]

if you want one, you have to ask countries IC to make sure the referendum is fair. And those countries may agree or not. China's always willing to help in the democratic process (*hint* *hint* )

[BasV]

Greater Arabia is always interested in supporting muslim factions...

[Lord Sigma]

Does this anti-sattelite laser thing exist in real life? If not then its going to take an awful long time as well as a ****load of cash to reseach and build. And i'm talking decades and billions of dollars..........

If it does exist, then it still will take quite a bit of $ and years to repair and reconstruct.

[Scott F]

Sigma, yes it does exist. I am assuming that it needs repairs, like most old Soviet equipment in the CIS nations. It is not very difficult, or time consuming to build, just expensive. Developing the technology is very costly, but the Soviets all ready did the hard part for China and Germany. The facilities are basically a large building with a series of laser generators and optical lenses and mirrors to refelect and focus the laser on the target. Targeting is done with computers.

The US had a facility like this in Arizona, but it was closed and torn down afer defense budget cuts ended the Star-Wars programs.

Shooting a satellite down with one of these is easy, but what the Russians and the US really wanted to do was to be able to bounce the laser off of reflective mirrors in orbit to be able to destroy nuclear missiles that had just been launched. This proved very difficult and was never successful.

I demand a sanction against Brazil.
It can´t be that their armies continue to march and HsFB hasn't replied since.
It's illogical and unsporting.
I demand he begins his invasion all over again.

I think the sanction part is more like a plead to the UN, but the other stuff is OOC.
