Please read my post above. I may have to remind you a few times, but I am more than prepared for that.

There's quite a few of them on the forums. I don't think they are so useful in-game... But you can try. If I ever found a party, it would be called "the Double Posting from Time to Time is Not so Bad but Multiple Posts in a Row all the Time is Not so Cool and it's Not that I care much but other TNPers Like it even Less Party of the The North Pacific", or the DPTTNBMPRTNCNICTLEL Party of TNP, for short.

Hey McM, I am tempted to found the DPTTNBMPRTNCNICTLEL Party of TNP, I don't know how useful could it be though :D

Thank you Syrixia, when my nation meets with your requirements, can I be included on the next world tour? As of right now we are too small and insecure for your presence.

Don't say that. Just because we're really active, powerful, etc. doesn't mean we're one of the greatest. We're a nation of 16 million, with a 14 million man army and 1.5 billion war tigers. Many nations are better than that.

I kinda like it too, that's why the name of the party implies there's nothing wrong about doing it from time to time but annoying the old fellow McM is a no-no.

Also hello ^^

No one annoys McM. One time we had 3 of our war tigers...do some things...to a war elephant from McM. All three tigers died.

Seriously, don't make him mad.

Ho hum hum.

14 million soldiers out of 16 million people. May I ask what happens if you fight a major war with someone? Your army is about half the size of mine, yet I'm almost 500 times larger than you are. That just won't work. You'd have to feed your soldiers grass and arm them with rocks they find on the ground. A smaller (but not too small) and better-equipped army is usually the way to go. Take the US military for example. They're one of the most powerful militaries in the world, yet out of a population of ~300 million, only 2 million are actually a part of it, and half of those are in the reserves. That's less than 1%. Sasten maintains a military of about 35 million, with ~0.5% of the population being part of it. In real life, and in an actual RP (this is not Civ 4 here) 14 tanks and maybe a few helicopters could easily defeat a rampaging mob (that's all they would be, since 14 million hungry people would not obey the orders of their officers, no "if"s "and"s or "but"s) of 14 million starving people flinging rocks at them. You have 14 million people in your army. You will not have an economy, manufacturing or food production. And even if you do, you're not going to have any money or resources to run them. For a country of your size, I could see an army of about 100-150 thousand soldiers at most during peacetime, with that number being able to swell to about 1.5 million in a desperate, massive (massive as in WW2 massive) war for national survival, but even then your production capacity would near collapse.

You do realize that that is one thousand irritable and difficult to control 300kg carnivorous cats per individual soldier, right? Prepare to be eaten.

The Federation Council sends a public message to The Empire of Syrixia and The United Federation of Sasten:

We already explained to you why war tigers are better: more strength, more stamina.

We bred our own. We had 3 billion; we gave 1.5 to our dear allies in Tomb. Thanks to you, we have a thriving tiger ecosystem. In fact, they're our new national animal.

WE ALREADY EXPLAINED TO YOU THAT WE HAVE MORE AS WELL!

And The United Federation of Sasten is right. Basically your military is screwed. Funny how I didn't think about that when breeding the war tigers but still he's got a seriously good point.

We keep most tigers in reserve;

Well your reserve officers are screwed.

To sum it up, we have tigers as well, you have to many, and STOP GLOATING.

--Kalekoe Zimwit--
--Federation Council Defense Secretary--

--From within Council Hall, the following can be heard--

Zimwit: "General! Send a team of, say, 500 tiger tamers to Syrixian land! I want them armed to the teeth! Have them take out ALL of the war tiger reserves!"

General: "Yes sir."

Zimwit: "Council, we must prepare for war on Syrixia if they respond to this. I propose that, if there is a Syrixian response, we go to war, and in the meantime, we prepare."

Furhnwotter: "The proposal will be debated and voted upon."

--A swarm of armed tiger tamers makes their way into the Syrixian War Tiger Reserves. Gunshots ring for miles around as the animals are brutally killed. From the sight of them though, it's almost like a euthanasia, as they are heavily malnourished and what appears to be scars from whips cover their flanks.--

Heck, how am I in the top 1% of most developed in the world? This is great! I feel so... Like I did the right thing!

Indeed. Congrats on that, mate

"O...kay, Your Majesty. Any specific brand?"

"Bugatti."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hello gentlepeople

Our new weapon, the Imperializer, can turn any zombie, Infact, ANYONE into a Syrixian soldier, and we can set the dial for any country, Olvern, Alunya, Norway, you name it.

Doesn't work that way, we can only close it on the Z-day(Or risk having the Delegate's influence drop).
