SheepNES: Modern Battlefields: MAIN THREAD

[knigh+]

You were doing fine. I'd be ok with 1 update per month. To fast forward, I would have preferred if you turned it into 10 year turns for a few turns instead, so we could have some control over which way we went. I was intending to go east (and not let Azerbaijan fall to Russia or Iran.)

Spoiler exercept from my 2010 orders :

Secret missions
h) 1ep into secretly promoting nationalism and independence ideas in Azerbaijan provinces of Iran (or UIC or whatever it’s latest name is now). This goes through Azerbaijan, not Turkey-UIC border.
i) 1ep into secretly promoting nationalism and independence ideas in Turkmenistan portion of UIC. This goes through Uzbekistan, not Iran.
For both of these: keep it civilized, no terrorist stuff. Local organizations will fund nationalist newspapers/books/websites. They assemble protest meetings, start private schools in Azeri or Turkmen languages. When they are opposed by the government, they make a fuss about it, and lobby about it in the West.

I'll wait for the rest of the rules/stats before deciding to stay or not. (leaning more towards not due to real life stuff. I was giving it priority over other NESes due to realism - now that it's gone I don't know)

Nice map. Did UGT survive until the merger or was it broken apart or was there a war with Nigeria?

 

[Stormbringer]

I will not be staying in this NES due to what (in my opinion) is very blatantly unrealistic events of the BT.

 

[TheBladeRoden]

Interesting... Very Interesting.

Nice to see i survived... and prospered.

Aww poor Spain looks French.

Wait... France won something?

Oh hush you

 

[carmen510]

What... the... *u*k happened? Did my realism discombobulate machine go off?

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Why's the Aral Sea still in existance?

 

[Nuka-sama]

Ha! United Islamic Republic for me

 

[HMS Vanguard]

WOW. What a difference a few (Massive) changes makes.

Otherwise, NZ is still in existance and the World looks sooooo different, and sooooo wierd.

Will take time to get used to this new Map.

Otherwise, WOW!!!!!

And I am Still New Zealand

I'm not particularly happy with the unrealism...but I'll continue staying IF Benelux managed to complete the space elevator by now.

It has, it is around 40 years into the future.

UGT did. Union of West Africa was a peaceful unification mainly.

 

[The Farow]

Why did the USA break up? That is the weirdest one to me. Americans have a strong sense of cultural identity and I do not see that fading unless something utterly destructive took place. Did something catastrophic take place in the US? I would think Russia has a better chance of breaking up in the near future then the USA.

Good luck with this. Icmancin had a similar "unrealistic" NES but died for that reason. I thought it was fun but it died anyway

Is NZ now separate to the Commonwealth??
IF so when??

 

[Lord_Iggy]

The power of terrorists was far too great in that NES. No matter what security measures we had, they'd still succeed.

 

[Sheep]

I have finished writing the story by there was a massive biological terrorist or other act in the United States, fully 1/2 to 2/3 of the population died and the central government of the USA collapsed. Several states seceeded whilst in the aftermath new governments rose up in various places giving the affect that we have now.

What most people here must remember is that any nation on this earth is nothing but an artificial construct in the minds of men and as such these constructs can disappear or be reconfigured along new thought lines. This is in fact a central theme in my thesis on International Relations.

That is because sveral nations were supporting the terrorists making it that much harder to stop them.

Lurker's Comment: It didn't die, I killed it. And I am working behind the scenes to revive that beast for the delight of some people around here (Unless of course we are talking about ICNES I of course. He will stay in his crypt).

Lurker's Comment: You white people will never understand the greatness that is China. We alone have withstood the sands of time and you evil white people will never appreciate and comprehend our great culture.

If it's not obvious, yes, I'm joking sheep so please don't take offense

 

[Sheep]

Well I actually agree with you to the point that I have made China the number one power in this world.

 

[Sheep]

double post

 

[Captain2]

well if storm's left, I'll take Russia
