Never tell me the odds
There is no threat of Indonesian missiles and Thailand is not a war zone. The Indonesian military machine has been crushed. In a few weeks, the Feminist Regime will collapse.

Sorry for using protocol language. I will reformulate using Brag Slang of People Who Believe They're Superior, which you seem to abuse:
-Because everything is shinier in GEAR
-Because everything is cheaper in GEAR
-Because you're at war, and even a winning country may have problems with people being left without homes/food/money, and GEAR is good enough to tend to the war victims of both sides out of goodwill.
Sincerely,
Yao Jeun-Park, Minister of GEAR foreign affairs.

Challenging Fate
In an undisclosed bunker, Paris
"...For the last time, Arlette, we're not starting until Annette gets here"
Annette silently cursed herself as Hiver's echoing voice down the hallway reminded her of her tardiness. It's not my fault, she internally argued, that there was an accident today in downtown. Maybe if someone didn't drive like a man, I would have been here on time!"
In her hands, the Commissioner of the STD was carefully gripping a manila folder, making sure no paper waywardly fell. Even a single sheet missing would implicate France in a national embarrassment for generations to come; she can see why previous heads had a fondness for burning their plans once they were commenced. Annette glanced at the front cover; a crude Scorpion graced the majority of the space. With its claws snapping and its barb poised for a strike, Operation Scorpion was a genius plan that would guarantee French security, and, more importantly, establish her legitimacy as Commissioner.
It wasn't easy being the head of the world's largest and most lethal special force unit in the world. Annette quickly learned that the organization was fiercely independent from the government at large; they felt superior to everyone else in France, and resented the fact the new Commissioner was a "sissy author" rather than a grizzled veteran of the organization. Whenever she shows up to HQ, Annette could feel the institutional subterfuge going behind her back. The top brass below her are like Westeros; constantly fighting each other in order to become the most powerful and eventually take Annette's spot. One sign of weakness on her part, and Annette knew her authority would crumble. That's why she had to prove her competence; they would finally respect her.
"Every moment we wait," Annette could recognize Arlette's voice speaking, "is one moment closer to the death of feminism. We ne-"
Annette dramatically slammed the door open. Immediately in front of her were three women at a table, with various maps of France, Thailand, and Indonesia sprawled across the surface with little rhyme or reason. Directly in front of her was the Président of France, Jeannette Hiver. To her left, Annette saw a burly redhead in a military dress uniform, staring intently at Hiver. She was Arlette Morin, the Minister of Defense, and probably the closest thing to a man anyone will ever see in the French government. To her right, a ravenette topped with an equally black beret buried her face into her hands. Annette recognized her as Giselle Buckley, the elusive and surprisingly reclusive Minister of Foreign Relations.
Arlette quickly turned around to face the newcomer of the conversation. "Uh...," she flustered, "Annette, nice to see you... Why don't you take a seat?"
As Hiver mouthed to Arlette an "I told you so", Annette took the only available seat left in the council, which was fortunately adjacent from Hiver. To be completely honest, Annette didn't know Morin or Buckley all that well; they clearly made a favorable impression on the blonde haired President to have their jobs, but Annette never had a tête-à-tête with either of them. However, even thought it was months since Annette pulled a gun at Jeannette, the former author still didn't feel comfortable being near her, let alone in the same room as her. The friendship they used to have was terminally ill, if not dead, and Renard, at this point, didn't care what happened to it. To her credit, Hiver seemed to want to throw an olive branch at her, but Annette couldn't tell how genuine it actually was.
"So," Hiver beamed, "Now that everyone's here, let's get the meeting started. I called this emergency meeting because feminism is under siege. A long, arduous siege which can break decades worth of women's hard work everywhere. Namely, Indonesia.
Thailand, in a grave action of gender imperialism-"
Buckley meekly raised her hand. "Actually, the reasons for the invasion are a lot more complex, and don't..."
"In a grave action of gender imperialism," Jeannette continued, unfazed, "Thailand invaded the feminist nation of Indonesia. By some miracle, the Thais managed to break through the Indonesian main line of defense. Reports from all three of your branches have indicated a general lack of faith of Indonesia managing a favorable conclusion to this ordeal on its own, militaristic, diplomatically, or socially.
Ladies, we need to act. Now. Indonesia's continued existence as a feminist state is paramount to French national security. Indonesia represents a stepping stone for the expansion of the feminist revolution into Asia proper, but that will never happen if we allow Thailand to recreate their twisted patriarchy in Indonesia. Our policy of calling for a ceasefire are being ignored. We need to step up our pressure. I want to hear your suggestions."
"I don't think the Thais are going to respond to anything but a show of force," Arlette admitted, "I think it's time we get boots on the ground"
"Woah!," Annette exclaimed, "I think you're going too far here, Arlette"
Arlette countered, "Standing around is getting nothing done. We already have a total embargo on Thailand and been attacking them verbally in every way possible. They simply do not care. Mendogs don't respond to strongly worded letters and speeches. If you want them to listen, you got to grab their nuts and slap them silly. Then they'll do what you want."
"But what about the international community? Surely they would take Thailand's side because we're 'evil women threatening the social order'"
"Annette," Giselle quietly retorted, "the world isn't so black and white as you think it is. Most nations are viewing this conflict in terms of food, not gender. Rich, industrialized nations that secured their own means of food production, along with states focused on agriculture, are likely going to disapprove of Thailand because a Thai victory would mean one more rising empire they would have to deal with. Only poorer nations with no agricultural base and can't secure an alternative means of food will likely support Thailand. As long as we play our cards right, preventing Thailand's ascension as a imperial power would actually make us look good in the eyes of nations we actually care if they like us."
Jeannette nodded her head in approval. "I never even thought of it that way, Giselle. Very interesting observation." The foreign minister politely bowed, while the president continued, "However, it really seems like Annette has some serious reservations about a direct intervention. I think we owe it to let her come up with an alternative plan"
"Merci," Annette replied as she threw the folder she was holding onto the table, "To be honest, when you said 'Meeting about National Security', I thought you meant actual national security. What I have here will finally solve-"
Jeannette, recognizing the scorpion on the cover, motioned Annette to stop. "Annette," the Président trailed off, like the mother who has to tell her asthmatic daughter she will never have her dream of being star football player, "You told me about this plan before. And I said I'd consider it, and I still am. But it's completely irrelevant to Indonesia, and that's what we're going to focus on-"
Annette pleaded, "But now is the time to do it! Never before had we have such a golden opportunity to finally pull it off, and if we send troops down to Indonesia, we're going to overextend ourselves, and then the opportunity will past!"
"I understand your enthusiasm, but I'm not going to sell Indonesia out for France's gain. The matriarchy is an international movement, and it requires a united effort of all the world's women to protect it. You even said that yourself, in epilogue of The Folly of Men. This is the first time in history where that principle is going to be tested, as in, 'Can the combined efforts of women can protect the matriarchy where it already stands?'
Men backstab. Women don't. I'm not abandoning Indonesia for your Scorpion plan and that's final."
Annette quietly grabbed her folder back. "Fine," she hissed, dejected.
Trying to defuse the situation, Jeannette asked, "So, we're all confident that we should intervene?"
A chorus of yeses, even a half-hearted one by Renard, encouraged the Président. "In that case, I'm going to motion for the National Assembly to approve of a declaration of war later today. Thank you all for your time."
"Wait!," Arlette demanded, "Before we go, I want to add one thing. I got that expeditionary force idea you wanted ready and finalized. You know, the small yet always mobilized elite force that could be deployed anywhere at a moment's notice. All I need is a name for it, and I thought I had a good one.What about the Hiver's International Vanguards?"
"That's actually not a bad name," Annette was forced to bitterly concede, "I like it."
Giselle nodded. "I agree, works perfectly"
Annette smirked with glee, "I just like how it's named after me. I approve of it. We'll test it in Indonesia, if the National Assembly approves of the intervention. Meeting adjourned"
Annette hastily grabbed her folder and quickly left the room, fuming. I worked so hard on this plan, and Hiver dismisses it without even reading it!. This could have been the one and only chance for her to prove to her underlings in the STD that she was qualified for the job, and the stupid Thais had to ruin everything with their invasion. Now she's going to have to deal with xenophobic schemers who want nothing more than to see her go, and she can't do anything about it.
Unless..
Plently of times the STD did their black ops without approval of the Président, for the sake of the nation. Of course, Hiver appointed her Commissioner under the implied agreement that she wouldn't run off and do exactly that. Yet, she knew if she ever wanted to get anywhere besides perpetual vice president, she needs powerful allies, much more than the Président herself.
Annette reached for her pocket, and pulled out a disposable cell phone. She furiously typed a number in, and then paused for the connection to go through.
"Hello?," a voice spoke on the other end of the line.
Annette smirked. "Operation Scorpion is a go. We're doing it"

yeah, no. you cannot sustain that number. also, Remember Taiwan? if they all die, your nation would basically collapse.
Rome estimates combat effectiveness to be about 100,000 soliders, at most. and male. French Female Forces will make short work in castrating the lot.

We already have up to 600,000 soldiers and by the end of this season, the number will be 800,000. And we can assure you that while 400,000 of them are new conscripts, the rest 400,000 are battle-hardened professional troops.

Mobilization for War
The Chancellor Yingjang Shinawatra, thanks to his strategic abilities, had foreseen French aggression and so he had already ordered the mobilization of 800,000 soldiers. Now, he has expanded the conscription so the number of soldiers by next season will be 900,000. The Thai Navy and Air Forces have also been mobilizing for a naval battle in the Indian Ocean.
The plan to invade Southern Indonesia with 120,000 troops will go on as normal. Once all of Indonesia comes under Thai control, all food exports to France will stop and a naval defensive line shall be created, which shall encompass Indonesia and Thailand. Chancellor Yingjang Shinawatra is confident of victory and has given a speech n Bangkok.
"I have warned the nations all over the world again and again about Feminism's imperialist intentions. And I was proved to be correct. France, seeing it's colonial and oppressive puppet in Indonesia collapsing, declared war on Thailand. But Thailand shall fight back and defend against this imperialism, which has no equal in it's extension and brutality except for Nazi Germany's imperialism. Our brave soldiers shall defeat the enemy! Asia belongs to the Asian people, not to European colonialists! Thailand shall defend freedom and liberty in Southeast Asia!"

Also, he has steamlined the transition of changing leaders so much, so that he could hand over the jobto literally anyone. a homeless person in Ankara, someone from germany, someone from France, and so on.
note: if i hand it over to a foreigner, the Roman Empire shall be a junior partner in a personal union agreement.

Romans! our Russian enemies has burned down Constantinople, resulting in the incalculable and likely infinite loss in Roman Culture, Arts, music, our priceless architectures, and our best works, not to mention the civilians of our proud nation.
the war against Russia shall decide the fate of the world! if we Fall, it will be Soviet domination without end. therefore, it is our sworn duty to not fall at any cost, or if we fall, we make them bleed for EVERY SQUARE INCH OF TERRITORY.
I call upon romans to resist until the last soviet soldier is dead, we will resist them everywhere we can, in the waters, the skies, the beaches, the mountains, even our cities!
Romans... if we lose, think about how the Russians would treat our people. they will treat us as animals. no human rights. at all. even Japan would be disgusted by Russians over how they woudl treat us. we will be slaves. we will be nothing to them. the Russians have no heart.
if we lose, our very idenitity, our culture, everything, will be gone forever. Even our Unique Feminist culture will be exterminated by these mandogs. and other nations will follow in our path. we dont wish this to happen.
our nation shall operate for one reason only: war. nothing more, nothing less. war, until Russia is defeated. nothing else shall happen.
SO WE SHALL WIN! OR MAKE THEM BLEED SO MUCH THAT THEY ARE FORCED TO QUIT!

Government:Constitutional Monarchy with the Emir and his appointed viziers acting as the executive branch with a democratically elected legislative branch. Power is still mostly held in the Emir's hands as he holds the power to veto any law and appoints a Grand Vizier to head the legislative branch.
Capital: Casablanca
Head of State: Aladin Farouk
Grand Vizier: Hajar Benkirane
Religion: Mostly non-denominational Muslims with some Sunni, Shi'ite, and Christian areas.
Following the death of the former Emir, Ibn Farouk, his son Aladin Farouk has taken over as Emir of the United Emirates. He is a much more geopolitical-minded person than his late father, and has already begun to make his mark on the foreign policy of the United Emirates by installing a group of new, much more hardline Viziers.

FROM The United Emirates of Casablanca and Gibraltar
Greetings on behalf of Emir Aladin I Farouk of the United Emirates of Casablanca and Gibraltar! The father of our great Emir sadly allowed the navy, air force, and army of the United Emirates to degrade over the course of his rule. This included the stoppage of new developments in military technology and armament which the Emir now considers vital to the security of the United Emirates. As the PAU has been and continues to be one of the highest quality arms brokers on the planet, the Emir would like to, if possible, set up an order for the United Emirates. If possible, the UE would like to order two air craft carriers of the newest design available to PAU shipyards, as well as 20 destroyers, 10 cruisers, and 6 submarines. Full complements of air craft with the two carriers would be included in the order, as would be another 100 of your newest jet interceptors for Home Defense. 200 of your newest tanks would be nice as well. What kind of price tag are we looking at for these items?

Speaking of which, Robert, how do my economy and military look right now? Its a bit hard to tell without those stats.

Roman Empire to accept any volunteers
the Roman Emperor, Basil I komnenos, has opened the borders of the Roman Empire to any country, yes, even Thailand, to gain a boatload of combat experience by organizing volunteer legions, and sending them to Anatolia to fight for the glory of Rome.
of course, we expect the Roman Foreign Legion to behave, fire and kill only the Russians, in short, if you have a problem with one legion, too bad. you leave the wars outside of Anatolia.
we will pay upfront for assisting them for any psychological disorders they may pick up, we shall keep them supplied, and they will be treated as if they are Roman soldiers. for example, each and every one will be remembered for the rest of time.
