Between a nuke and hard place

[Daedwartin]

Nation: Grand Daedwartian Union

Government Type: Totalitarian Autocratic Theocratic Military Monarchy

Motto: Tamb Bless Daedwartia

Ethnic Makeup: 40% Daedwartian (Zone 1/Capital Zone), 5% Lasiai (Zone 2), 3% Nasian (Zone 3), 12% Fort (zone 4) 20% Hitous and Melsa. (displaced. Zones 11 and 12.) 20% others (Zones 5-10). We are a multi-ethnic culture. Racism is nonexistent.

Official Languages: Newspeak. Got too complex using 50 languages. by now. none of us actually remember how to speak the old languages. to the point of we cant even translate without Duchy interpreters. Which we just record in newspeak. (note: this is very similar to 1984's newspeak. just successful in its totality. records are official government documents. of course they are doctored.)

Main Exports: Iron. the Technocracy (Dawn, this is our in-nation name for your nation.) dominates our market. Industrial Goods, with the Duchy being the main buyer. Wheat, mostly sold for oil from the Technocracy. Uranium to the Duchy and New England. considering our capital is built in a radioactive crater left by a natural nuclear explosion, we have lots to spare. main reason we can afford to go all nuclear navy. and all-nuclear power grid.

Main Imports: Oil, lots of it. Lodestones by the fleet load, this is what we make railguns out of. Salt. lack of deserts do this. Duchy and Dumanios weapons.

Affiliation: Grand Alliance.

Our nation's history is long. its also been mostly forgotten. (this sentence has been removed by State Sec) We have always been able to keep track of all of it.

400 years ago: The 12 Zones, once independent nations, merge into The United States Of Daedwartia. We became one of the First Successful Democracies.

380 years ago: The Failed Colonization of the Central Islands (our name for them). begins

360: Above project fails.

350: The Duchy colonizes Centralia.
345: Thanyou unsuccessfully invades the USD. the USD Dollar is established.

Spoiler :

OCC: Americans observing from the other side of a strange portal make jokes about our nation's initials

300: First Civil War. USD vs CSD. didn't end slavery. mostly because we never did perform this appalling practice.
296. Tambism is declared the USD's state Religion
295 CSD surrenders.

294-230 We repel a lot of Thanyou invasions.
220 we fail to invade the Southern Kingdom.
200-180 Great Patriotic War. very long unsuccesful invasion by Thanyou. [historians have no clue why we hold out so well.]

145 years ago. Thanyou inavdes again and Annexes Zone 11 and Zone 12. Massive civil unrest.
144-140. 8 successive presidents are impeached.
140-100. The Longest Civil War in all of history occurs.
139- Zone 4-10 succeed.
137-Zone 2 and 3 succeed.
135- The Imperial Tambian Duchy lends aid the the USD.
134. Zone 10 receives aid from the Thanyou Empire.
133 Zone 2 and 3 retaken by the USD.
130. A natural nuclear explosion is set off by accident underneath the capital during a massive siege. is widely believed to have been the last deposit on earth capable of this.
130. Radioactivity is discovered...at the cost of 2 million people.
130 senate is vaporised. nation is in too great a disarray to elect a new government. the USD disbands.
130-111 Dark ages. nothing remembered.
110. Daedwartis I reunifies the Zones. (Thanyou never attempted to invade. it was that chaotic.) The Grand Daedwartian Union is formed
30 Epic War 1. We fail to liberate Zones 11 and 12.
Today: Today

Rule of thumb: If suffering from Radiation Sickness, get a Daedwartian Doctor. we been curing it for about 100 years. before we knew what the atom was. (orginal theory was that uranium was a evaporating rock. didnt stop us from developing methods to cure it and sheild it. it took the Duchy using the first nuclear weapon to make us appect the atom theory.)

[Daedwartin]

A Basic History of Esandtee
1 BCE- Tambien Empire collapses after conquering Dadwa Empire.

The issue was that we always had a strong cultural bond internally. (similar to China. the only reason the USD could form from 12 different nations was the Dadwa culture. it is technically the main cultural group of the nation. ethnic groups just really mean your from that Zone.) Our society was historically very conservative. It died out after a very oppresvie king. liberalism was our way of expressing our freedom. We actually are a rather liberal state today. granted, we are a dictatorship. Its own people dont want a democracy. at least, until we regain Zones 11 and 12. (something else they pushed on the government...My people for the last century have made no sense to the government. . usually the dictators go crazy. here, it seems the masses go crazy instead.)

 

[spaceman98]

Sorry, but no. As it has been said before- "No Space Aliens, BEMs, or other non-Earth native things." How about becoming the International Space Launch Foundation?

Earth Base to Mars:
The Earthlings have expressed open hostility. We will have to mask our operation, pretending to be a space center, or we may face an Earth attempt to remove our scientific project. We can probably even let some human ships launch from our base to gather some cash to further the cause of my personal asteroid Science!(TM).
_______________________________________________
Mars response:
Very well, do so. Name yourself Area 51, everyone on Earth knows Area 51 is a diversion and Area 52 is the real thing, so no one will suspect that there actually are ailens in the facility!
_______________________________________________

To Earth:
We are the The Space Federation! For a small price, we will complete all your space launch needs, no questions asked! Spy satilite needs launching? Satilite defense network needs improvement? Space Telescope needs repairs? We will do it! Our technology is definetly not provided by Marsians! Promise! So come to Area 51 today, the void is waiting! We can take you there (For only $1999 + shipping and handling)

BTW, I would like my nation to be dark blue and you can use an acronym or just call my nation N if that's too long.

I claim he remainder of the western continent. I would post a map, but I can't. Ninjacow64's Secret Anti Parrot Imperium Federation with Blahristan and the Eastern Formal Commonwealth which is actually the Empire of the Formatting Crew and this is the Actual Title of my Nation because it is Cool and Awesome Therefore it is a Kingdom Empire People' Glourious Republic Empire and Democratic Republic and we are Neutral so Yeah.

Hi, Nation of N. Your color is Grey-Blue, as dark has already been taken.

The issue was that we always had a strong cultural bond internally. (similar to China. the only reason the USD could form from 12 different nations was the Dadwa culture. it is technically the main cultural group of the nation. ethnic groups just really mean your from that Zone.) Our society was historically very conservative. It died out after a very oppresvie king. liberalism was our way of expressing our freedom.

(something else they pushed on the government...My people for the last century have made no sense to the government. . usually the dictators go crazy. here, it seems the masses go crazy instead.)

And since when did I say the Dadwa culture collapsed? I said "after conquest by Tambien Empire, the Empire collapses. That means 1 year or less of Imperial Rule. Which is not enough time for the destruction of a culture. Just some transference of aspects, such as Tambism.

Well its nice to know that your tanks are dreadfully slow, your infantry is incompetent, and your fighters can't fly.

Christos, i am surprised that with #$%$ equipment like that, you could survive as a nation! Tambien is right. There is no way TIE Fighters could even fly. Ion engines are plagued with 1 issues. They are efficient fuel wise, but take FOREVER to get up to a respectable speed. In this case, forever means 0 to 60 in several months, AND only in complete wieghtlessness does that apply. When in the atmosphere, one has the force to push the grand total of... a piece of paper ,for the same reason as the slow acceleration. Ion engines work by sending chraged particles out one end. Just it doesnt send a lot of them out. It sends a constant stream, yes, but its still a small amount of particles. They also weigh very little, being just atoms. Not much force is generated as a result. Also, even if this world is the technologically 2070, TIE fighters would be impractical, more so in the atmosphere, as they would be extremely aerodynamics.

AT-ATs... for the same reason gundams are a bad idea in RL, these are a bad idea. Take out ONE LEG, your down. the first one we say destroyed in Star Wars was destroyed because it was tripped. and there slow. which makes shooting them easy.

Stormtroopers: CONTRARY to how they appear on screen, they were extremely good marksmen. They never hit Luke, Leia, Obi-wan, Han, and Chewy because they were all people who either force sensitive, allowing them to sense the shots before they came (there's even a theory that Han is actually Force Sensitive enough to sense the shots coming as well, just not enough to be a Jedi), are very good dodgers, and/or much are among the best of the best aiming, to the point it made the storm-troopers look inaccurate. It wasnt that they were bad shots, just that they were mostly shooting at guys who werent your everyday enemy. Th ewoks also won because the ewoks knew the Terrain by heart, as it was there planet, and honestly it wasn't until Chewie got the At-ST that the ewoks started to really start winning. All in all, THE STORMTROOPERS ARE PEOPLE WITH ABOVE AVERAGE SKILLS. they were just fighting people who ABOVE AVERAGE FOR THEM, or people with the help of said people. Plus, armor always is a nice thing to have.

 

[Tomorrow's Dawn]

^One nitpick.

Gundams have jet packs or some form of levitation technology.
Losing a leg doesn't have much meaning most of the time.
They also usually have Trans-AM, Innovator pilots, Coordinators, or some other insanity
(nowadays anyway. Best Gundam series is 08th MS Team) /nerd over.

 

[Radio Noer]

The Forces of Noerland are as follows:

Standing Army of 100000 men, 17000 women, and 430 children
25 ship navy, with 5 aircraft carriers, 15 destroyers, and 10 "Gigabattleships"
Air force of 5000 planes, outfitted with both conventional cannons and missiles and the latest railgun technology (exclusively on bombers)

I should also mention that we have a 10 child policy, all women must give birth to 10 children to supply factory workers and soldiers, the mates are partly found with eugenic practices, although about half the time women are allowed to choose their own partner.

Also, our capital's name is Blanketsburg, mostly for this:

True. But the Stormtroopers... they always appeared less than smart in the movies. Just sayin.

And maybe he hasnt fought a major war yet, thus he doesnt know the shortcomings of his machinery.

[Daedwartin]

The Grand Daedwartian Unoin announces it will not use nuclear weapons unless nuclear weapons are used on them. We are well aware of what can occur when they are used on one city, seeing as our capital is the site of the only natural nuclear explosion in human existence. The Union also calls upon ALL Nations to declare the same.

Occ: we probably would have actually being a major power had the civil war and the explosion not occurred. they really stagnated our development. alas, you cant win everything.

 

[Dumanios]

The Republic of Dumanios will use weapons of mass destruction against a nation who has used such weapons against us. However, should a hostile army land on our soil, we will not hesitate to use all weapons against them.

 

[SamSniped]

The RNE will not use unethical weapons unless those weapons are used against us.

 

[NinjaCow64]

@Tambien: If you are going to use a shortened title, I would rather if you just used N rather than Nation of.

N offically declares itself neutral, unless those that shall not
be named (parrots) are used as weapons, if that happens then we will declare war on the side that uses/allies with them.

 

[christos200]

The Holy Christosian Dominion declares that it is Neutral. The Great God Christos does not want us to kill people, except if we defend our motherland.

Also the Church wants all nations of the World to Recognize Pope Gregorios III as leader of Christosianity.
