SilliNES3: The Search for Imago

Hm. I'm at a loss for what to have for a unique unit. Suggestions, anyone?

Elite Paladin-esque religious troops?

Warpriests wielding the holy flames of God?

Modernized Cossack Cavalry (rather cheap and fast units)?

Early Mechanized Infantry?

Early Rocket Artillery?

Early Rocket/Jet powered airplane?

The Union of Arab Socialist Republics​

الله، الوطن والثورة​

Today, citizen, we owe to Allah and to the Supreme Leader our freedom, our lives and our sacred honor. In the great War for Arab Independence the Arab People's Revolutionary Army of Freedom vanquished the hated enemies, the Australian-Hungarians and Chinanders, making the modern world possible. It is thanks to the supreme supremacy of the Supreme Leader that we breathe the light and fulfilling air of freedom, instead of the dark and smoggy atmosphere of oppression and tyranny which existed before. Allahu-Akbar! All other nations are awed by the greatness and power over the Union of Arab Socialist Republics. Our Supreme Leader is the wisest of statesmen, and it is his discretionary and keen hand which guards the Arab Social Republics, their people, their Revolution and their faith in Almighty God. You are now permitted to consume Enjoyment Rations in order to maximize the pleasure of your experience as you revel in the glorious and heroic history of our great nation.


Supreme Leader Abdul-Muqtadir was born a peasant in Egypt and climbed his way to the top of the world on his hands and knees, helped up by the size and strength of his great bootstraps. Having done so he endeavored to free all men and women from the tyranny of the Australian-Hungarians, Chinanders and all other foreign oppressors. When the Egyptian people rose up against the oppressors Abdul-Muqtadir was ready to give all he had in the name of his Arab countrymen, and channeled his significant resources to helping the Arab people rise up throughout the Levant, the Sudan and elsewhere. Abdul-Muqtadir became a great and honorable name throughout all the Arab world as he fought for our glorious freedoms. You may enjoy your glorious freedoms by consuming a Glorious Freedoms-flavored ration at this point in time. Just eat it.


Forming the Arab People's Revolutionary Committee was one of the first steps on the Supreme Leader's path to the top. With the Committee in place the business of the War for Independence -- and the Social Revolution -- could continue. Our great nation became independent, and with the help of the Supreme Leader, was kept united against foreign attempts to fracture it. We owe our very existence as a people to our Supreme leader, Who Is Beloved By God. The Revolutionary Committee, once it ensured the safety of the State and its Social Revolution, formed the basis of the Arab People's Revolutionary Government and elected our Supreme Leader unanimously. Some foreign states insist that there were dissenting votes, but we have no record for them. Anyone who made dissenting votes does not exist. Take your Censorship-flavored rations now.


We must all be grateful to the Supreme Leader and to the Arab People's Revolutionary Government for our very existence. It is the hand of Supreme Leader Abdul-Muqtadir, Who Is Beloved By God, which holds our nation above the fires of tribulation and suffering which foreigners would plunge us into. We must keep the faith and the Revolution and fight for Almighty God, and His Servant, the Supreme Leader Who Is Beloved By God, in order to keep the Arab People's Social Revolution alive. It's the responsible thing to do. And remember, it's not just a good idea. It's the law!

Arab Revolutionary Militia: Communist and Islamic religious fanatics trained in guerrilla warfare and armed to the teeth. Highly mobile, willing to fight to the death, and very easy to recruit in large numbers. Not particularly useful in pitched battles, but theoretically able to overwhelm the enemy with sheer numbers. Very good at urban warfare as well as skirmishes. Best on the defense. 3 Brigades for 1ASP.

UPDATE

Hey guys, thanks for all the hard work. This NES isn't dead, I just started the preNES slightly early so that I can grab as much people and get as much world building done as possible.

Although Deadline One is the week after halloween (the 7th) and Deadline two is the weekend before Thanksgiving (16th), I can safely say that there isn't much objectionable submitted so far. So if you guys can start collaborating history and NPCs that would help a lot. Of course, I can magically mod up some history and NPCs, but that's more work on me, and so it'll take more time off my Thanksgiving Break before I can fully start all the fun.

Thanks for participating so far. I can promise this will be at least a 10 update game! The fun is all up to you.

EDIT: Oh, and the 1950ish start is game, with late WWII tech for no tech investment, with up to early space race tech with all investment about early 1960s.

I'd really like a Fascist or Monarchist Britain if possible. Would be good for my nation to shake its fist at.

I might come up with a crude history for Europe and parts of America (or at least my vision for it) tomorrow if I have time for everyone to pick over.

I've already written out a basic history for most of Eastern NA, so I can adjust it once my neighbors have theirs set, but various NPC descendants of Milarqui's Caliphate's colonies in the US Southwest and West would make sense.

here is an idea from me involving Russia and Alaska

The Russian Civil war happens, at some time, in the chaos of the war, Alaska invades Kamchatka, and secures its holdings there while the forces in the civil war attempt to take control of Moscow. I am unsure of who should win the war, i think it should be a vote as to what Russia would end up being, should it be Tsarist, Republican, Facsist, or Communist? no matter what I would think that Russia would at least be a little cross about Alaska taking Kamchatka for one, and for another one or two would think that I should be a part of them (Tsarist and Facsist IMO), or want to destroy the Alaskan Aristocracy (Republican or Communist IMO).

Given that Russia completely collapsed in the west according to my history, I'd say any remnant would be based in Siberia.

I'll probably get some kind of long history post up at some point, though I think maps of who gets what territory might help with that.

For now, the flag of the Popular Union of Rome:

ED: given we've got a PoD in the early-to-mid Middle Ages due to the existence of the Caliphate, whatever Russia we have is probably going to be very different to OTL. We can be pretty generous about whatever faction exists in Russia at this point.

Also, we've got like 10 communist/alt-communist countries so far, so probably a non-commie faction would be nice.

I kinda like the idea of a Republican Russia/Siberia that hates me because of being an absolute monarchy

Welcome, Dasemay.

Welcome!

EDIT: Man. 30 ASP into Fission Reactors? Patagonia is some nuclear powerhouse. Nice choice bro.

I do have to wonder about how a nomadic people that only recently became sedentary is now in possession of such a powerful ship and of fission reactors.

However, I'll try to apply the MST3K Mantra to avoid going mad from those really weird facts.

I'm assuming recently is more 5 civilized tribes recent ala 1800-1850s instead of 1930s recent or 1600's United Tribes recent.

it's not like this happened over night these are very old tribes. quickly to them could be hundreds of years to us.

Patagonia desires allies, oh how cruel the world is.

The glorious Australian people will only ally with Patagonia if it throws off the shackles of bourgeoisie slavery and join us in promoting total global revolution!
