Wait, 
Volaworand why did you suppress that? It was in a spoiler.

The unreadable Ascii art? Spam.
Drystar, Proctethia, Iym winterless, Wi sd ea d, and 1 otherShangyuen
It’s not supposed to be read.
It’s a crewmate from Among Us.

It's every person in Among Us.

Rule 1, spam image. If you’d had some text defining it, that might have passed. And using a spoiler tag doesn’t present a protection.
Volaworand, Proctethia, Wi sd ea d, and Shangyuen
Ooc:
I thought we didn't have to use N.S stats, and if we don't have too, I won't.
It's very unfair, as the oldest countries will always be the strongest, due to having the highest population.
Drystar, Volaworand, Proctethia, Wi sd ea d, and 1 otherShangyuen
Prussia wouldn't even be able to sustain a military of that magnitude.
Drystar, Volaworand, Proctethia, and Wi sd ea d
Please show me the “life is fair” clause. Or maybe just don’t pick a fight with someone five times or more your population.
Volaworand, Proctethia, Wi sd ea d, and Shangyuen
This is insane, the small nations can't even RP.
Drystar, Proctethia, Wi sd ea d, and Shangyuen
You do realize there are other things a nation can role play besides wars and invasions?
When was the last time Malta invaded France?
Drystar, Proctethia, Wi sd ea d, Order of the Saint Dumas, and 1 otherShangyuen
Yes you can, we have two regions set aside for nothing but rp, and rp is welcome here, but not to the exclusion of everything else. But if you mean rp with a nation my size, I couldn’t fathom why. I’m not an interstellar nation, just from the Jovian moons inwards, with some outposts further out for scientific exploration. A war with me would end tragically when I nudge an asteroid from the belt into falling into your nation. That’s if I don’t use an L5 station to do it.
Volaworand, Proctethia, Wi sd ea d, and Shangyuen
They have yet to learn the dark art of diplomacy.

Just the other Week Ago.... so I'm not so sure what you're talking about
Drystar, Volaworand, Proctethia, Wi sd ea d, and 1 otherShangyuen
You could do spy vs spy thrillers
Volaworand, Proctethia, Wi sd ea d, Order of the Saint Dumas, and 1 otherShangyuen
so... what's everyone up to?
Drystar, Proctethia, and Shangyuen
Probably when the Knights Hospitaler existed
Proctethia, Wi sd ea d, and Order of the Saint Dumas
Ooh that sounds fun , it'll be the Cold War all over again
Drystar, Volaworand, Proctethia, Wi sd ea d, and 1 otherShangyuen
Indeed, a cold war would be far more exciting than one line god modd battles.
Imagine, a fledgling nation gains its independence, and seeks to align for or against a dominant power in the region? Will they exchange ambassdors or recall them? sign trade deals or embargo's? Will they ban foreign SPIT or import all the flavours of the world? What domestic programs are sacrificed to develop a military? Or will they focus on economics over militarization? Do they send or receive foreign aid, and how does this affect their domestic politics? What tensions exist within the nation that could spill over into international politics? Do they seek out trade or seek to isolate their economy from outside influences?
Wars don't just spring up out of nowhere... they generally are preceeded decades of festering diplomatic disagreements and escalating tensions.
Proctethia, Wi sd ea d, Order of the Saint Dumas, and Shangyuen
Damn are you working in the marketing industry ? because damn that sounds hella fun!

a few years back my nation participated in a months long roleplay modelled on the 1980's cola wars and it was hella fun.
Anti-Aumeltopian protests in Faraday spread to other locations on Friday. In Graham, Volaworands second-largest mining town, hundreds of angry workers clashed with police and an Aumeltopian-themed tiki bar was vandalized with "Tropicials OUT" and "Volaworand First" graffiti. A smaller protest march and a counter march/peace vigil took place in the capital. There was no conflict between the two groups, activists said.
Meanwhile, thousands of women blocked all access to the port in Faraday demanding authorities release the hundreds of people detained during the crackdown when the angry crowd dumped Aumeltopian SPIT into the harbor and burned a shipment of children's coloring books, activist Sam Rahman said by telephone.
The Palmer Research Base, where numerous foreign scientists are based, went into lockdown briefly when a knocked over garbage bin was discovered, but that situation was resolved when police determined it was done by scavenging penguins.
Anti-Aumeltopian protests spread
ROTHERA (VBC) -- Anti-Aumeltopian protests in Faraday spread to other locations on Friday. In Graham, Volaworands second-largest mining town, hundreds of angry workers clashed with police and an Aumeltopian-themed tiki bar was vandalized with "Tropicials OUT" and "Volaworand First" graffiti. A smaller protest march and a counter march/peace vigil took place in the capital. There was no conflict between the two groups, activists said.
Meanwhile, thousands of women blocked all access to the port in Faraday demanding authorities release the hundreds of people detained during the crackdown when the angry crowd dumped Aumeltopian SPIT into the harbor and burned a shipment of children's coloring books, activist Sam Rahman said by telephone.
The Palmer Research Base, where numerous foreign scientists are based, went into lockdown briefly when a knocked over garbage bin was discovered, but that situation was resolved when police determined it was done by scavenging penguins.
Authorities paraded three ringleaders on state television, charged with being members of an "armed domestic terrorist group" and are investigating if they received money or weapons from abroad. In particular, the authorizes allege they had received arms and weapons shipped through neighboring British Falkland Islands, and have said that one suspect, Magnus Mikkelsen, had posted on Facebook "an incitement to violent protest, particularly outside the Port in Faraday".
Their lawyer denied all charges, saying that his client merely threw a snowball at the police, and that sharing a Poland Ball cartoon wasn't inciting hatred.
Northern province on edge
The northern province of Graham Land remains on alert, and the army has dispatched a platoon of troops to the South Shetland Island to protect the foreign research stations operating there. The Volaworand Coast Guard's Snowflake Response Units were outfitted with extra blankets and hot chocolate in case anyone is triggered and requires immediate consoling.
The latest protests come after a week of escalating tensions between Volaworand's business community and the Aumeltopian SPIT Company. On Thurday the government pledged to intervene but vowed to contain the protests that have shaken the city Of Faraday, and accuse "armed groups" of inciting the violence.
The Food court's Kentucky Fried Penguin sold out of SPIT and forced to close briefly. Krill Grill, Inc CEO Maddie Hildegard has called on the government to stop the protests with deadly force.
In Faraday, 500 students demonstrated at the faculty of liguistics, and police made arrests after fist fights broke out, said Margret Ustafa, president of the Volaworand Tea Student Committee.
"The security forces clashed with the students and four students were arrested," Mustafa told VBC by telephone.
The students called for the ban of Aumeltopian SPIT in Volaworand, while the provincial ruling party has proposed a crippling emergency law that could allow it to ban public gatherings and make arbitrary arrests. Another 50 students protested at the law faculty demanding greater freedoms, Abel Sahawl of the Student League for the Defence of Volaworand Tea said, two days after an earlier sit-in at the science faculty.
"Security forces used batons to disperse the students and some students were arrested," said Sahawl.
A police source said nine officers, including a captain, were suspended when she ordered her unit to take part in the protest instead of breaking it up.
Army protecting foreign stations
The army has kept a stranglehold on the South Shetland Islands, when regime agents deployed troops to all foreign stations, scaring four people and startling 17, according to witnesses.
In a clear sign of retribution, student groups locked down Signey Island and covered one building with toilet paper, witnesses said. One witness said it was "intense like snow" while another said Signey was "surrounded by toilet paper" and "like a prison" with no one able to enter or leave. Residents also complained of bread shortages and said shops and diesel stations were closed.
A human rights activist told VBC the attack on Signey was "probably aimed at scaring" foreigners, since four British scientists also works on the Island.
On Tuesday, the Prime Minster condemned the mounting crackdown on dissent in Graham, province saying the repression "is outrageous, and clearly an over-reaction."
The anti-tropical sentiment it whipped up lead to an alarming rise of the far-right within my nation.

Does it still exist (the rp?)
Drystar, Proctethia, Wi sd ea d, and Shangyuen
we wrapped it up eventually by developing the multi-lateral South Pacific Regional Trade Agreement, SPaRTA, which continues to this day, though there hasn't been any SPIT-related trade wars since it's inception. We haven't really done much with it in the past year - which I attribute to the normalization of regional SPIT trade.
The South Pacific Regional Trade Agreement (SPaRTA) trading bloc released data today on the year to date sales of SPIT of the 18 current member nations showing that while total SPIT sales in the South Pacific have fallen -6.9%, sales in the trading bloc have grown by 20.4%, growing the overall market share of the SPaRTA trading bloc by 29.2%.
Market Access & Barriers to Trade
SPaRTA strives to support the reduction of domestic and international barriers to trade to support the success of the South Pacific’s SPIT industry in a market free of trade-distorting factors.
As the South Pacific’s SPIT industry expands, the potential for export opportunities continues to grow. Building our export potential and addressing restrictive trade barriers will require concerted and consistent efforts between SPaRTA, governments and international organizations to gain advantageous market access around the world.
Better positioning the South Pacific SPIT industry to compete for market opportunities requires action at home. A fragmented regulatory environment for internal trade and commerce continues to restrict business potential across the South Pacific.
South Pacific SPIT continues to face substantial competition in the market from established SPIT-producing countries and cannot afford to be hindered by restrictive trade practices. 2019 Strategic priorities include:
Expanding the trading bloc.
Fair access to global markets.
Intellectual property and trademark protection.
Advocacy and exchange with government, industry and international SPIT organizations on issues including SPIT standards, labelling, health and safety, trade, and supply chains.
Counterfeit SPIT detection and the protection of SPIT interests in key markets.
Supporting product and marketing innovation.
