Oh oops.
- Heinz Fischer has denied claims of gerrymandering districts and rigging elections, and has not commented on bribing corporations. Public approval ratings plummet.
- Minimum wage laws are narrowly rejected in parliament, and are put up for a second vote. This time, they just barely pass. Minimum wage has been established throughout Darvwnse-a at €4.00/hour.
- Add additional security (cameras, maybe police) to public transportation. Send a diplomat to soccerboy's nation, delivering the news of the extremist attack.

Our militia could protect you, while your stable economy would further stabilize ours. Our technology together would be the best. Advanced weapons would win us the war.


sure, I'll group with you. just as long as you help us get to mars, (riots are going up the roof because we haven't got to mars yet)

to flashmarsh, can my area be put on the map? thanks

- The Conservative party are complaining about excessive immigration.
- People are getting increasingly frustrated about the language barrier between the North and the South
- A northern part of the Dover province has declared that it is part of the United Kingdom, and have set up a camp at Dover Castle. Some say they are armed.


-Add stricter immigration laws and add a citizenship exam.
-Start French and English language programs and encourage citizens to learn languages
-Send police and attempt to resolve the situation peacefully. If attempts fail, then non-lethal taser.

Ok guys, first thing I want to say is I'm going to pretend that I don't know what you guys are doing this turn in an effort to make the game more fun, and I strongly encourage everyone to adopt this practice so you can't instantly respond to things that havn't technically happened yet. But idk, what do you think about that mod? The idea is I can't react to something in the same turn that it happens unless I have spies or something in that country.

'Flash' said:
1) Denmark is concerned about the protection of your power plants, and are worried about whether dangerous materials could get into the wrong hands.
2) There are growing concerns about the disposing of chemicals in cities, and the dangers of this the population, and cancer risks
3) Pacifists are demanding you scrap your tanks and use the metal to build a gigantic statue of Gandhi in Madrid

1. While we couldn't care less about what Denmark is concerned about, the lax security at our power plants is very dangerous for us. Therefore, we will spare no expense locking down the reactors with the most advanced security at our disposal. We will also build SAM sites in the surrounding areas and declare the airspace over the nearby areas a no-fly zone and notify all civilian flights that they must fly around the zone or they will be shot down.

2. To combat this, we will begin building a satellite to be put in space with a giant teleporter pad on it. While that's being built, we will commission a continuous supply of 500 liter drums be built for housing the toxic chemicals. When the satellite is done, we will move all the chemical drums up the teleporter and use an attached launcher module to throw them at the sun.

3. Explain to the pacifists that the warlike countries of Sproutington and WeLikeGodSoWeWin will not hesitate to eradicate us, but for our top notch armor. Offer to compromise and build a statue twice as big as the statue of liberty out of metals native to our country instead.

Other actions
-Begin replacing our national postal and shipping systems completely with teleporters. This should combat any unemployment problems in the short term and greatly increase our economy's speed in the long term.
-Send a diplomat to each of the other nations requesting land in their capital cities be set aside for us to build embassies on, offering to do the same in Madrid.
-Research large scale force field technology with the intent of putting huge force fields around our major cities to protect them from air and missile attacks.
-Put together a secret police force known as the Hawks to control the growing anti-nationalist problem. Have them spread rumors that the leaders of the opposition are secretly financed by foreign countries and are trying to put together a bloody anti-populist coup.

I do the same. I read other posts out of interest, but I won't do anything with them until I actually "know" it. I don't like to metagame when roleplaying.

My only concern is that this would require a little cooperation from the mod. For example, let's say you decide to invade me one turn, and I see this, but being a good roleplayer I don't start to defend myself. The mod then says "because sniper's forces didn't even try to stop jell's, jell roles through sniper's country and he's out of the game". Realistically, I'd be able to do something once I saw your massive armies moving across the land towards my borders and have time to do something about that, I just wouldn't instantly know that's what you were going to do.

- Denmark still has its reservations, and still believes that you may be encouraging the worship, however it has backed off on it's brutal attack on the regime.
- A Chinese agent has apparently infiltrated the top level of the Army, and is preparing an attack on Van Couvenhoven.
- 20 terrorists are apprehended and put inside of industrial correctional facilities. The morality enhancers seem to be doing the job as half have already left the facility, and are now good citizens of Sproutington. The damage has been cleared away and very few people noticed the wreckage.
- The morality enhancers have been purchased and are already being put to good use, despite the intense previous usage at Guantanamo Bay.
- The story of the warning is widely reported in tabloid newspapers, however very little comes of your notice due to the citizens of Technica having extremely low opinions on both your regime and the Theocracy that Stephen Hawking has already denounced.
- The researchers are working hard, importing prototypes from Texas being proposed for usage on schoolchildren. Your science minister is happy with the progress and believes it is almost ready to be put into major usage, however he has concerns about infections from the implants.

Issues

- The Chinese agent is still on the loose in the military.
- A protest group mad up of Technica citizens (but not government affiliated) are dropping fliers from a helicopter into the Randstad province.
- A batch of lab-rats have died after test implants.
- One of the freed terrorists has escaped to the UK and is preparing a speech for the Copenhagen conference about an unknown matter for now.

Rocketguy

- The group in Dover say they don't want to leave their homes and livelihoods, they want to become part of your territory. Tensions have risen in the area due to your lack of tact in the situation.
- The people in Leeds are confused. They are demanding your support on the proposed project. The people are dissatisfied with your response.
- The US politician is harassed by pacifist groups, and is extremely angry, and is proposing to not visit your country again for official reasons.
- You have no airstrikes, but the AA guns are all checked in a standard safety procedure.
- The US has broken off all contact, and are very hurt. They have imposed a trade embargo upon you, and you now only have 100 credits to spend a turn.
- Be more specific.
- Be more specific again.
- The people in Leeds are very happy. Your researchers begin looking for ways to make rocket fuel more efficient, and are looking for life support systems ready for Mars.
- You play the game for the entire week and the people are very unhappy at your lack of work. The opposition is preparing to impeach you due to you being useless.

Issues

- The people are asking you to reconcile with the US to improve the economy.
- You're going to be impeached.
- The opposition the Christian Party, are demanding that you stop your heathen science-y ways.

Soccer

- The pickpocket now decides to rob a bank and steals all your credits for this turn. He then goes and hides in Guatemala.
- Many people died in the church in the way described. HOWEVER, you seemed to forget that they knew people outside of the church and also had something called a phone. The Greek Orthodox Church is very angry with you and there is talk of an uprising.
- They are resurrected, but are also very weak. The first house they go to slams the door on them and they break in half. Oh dear.

Issues

- You now have no money
- The Greek Orthodox Church is very angry and a rebellion/uprising doesn't seem all too unlikely
- Your resurrected men are stuck in Ithaca and are very hurt. The Ithacan's aren't very happy with you.
- Many people have seen the pickpocket as an example of how weak your government is, and crime is spreading
- There are rumours of a traitor priest looking to uproot you as pope by claiming the position while living in France.
- A diplomat has been sent from Darvince, claiming that there was a terrorist attack done in his name, and he is demanding you denounce the attack.

Darvince

- He is now 15 point down before the next election, which will take place around the time of the Copenhagen Conference. The mainstream media call it even.
- The people are happy, but not quite happy enough to restore Fischer's reputation. The margin falls to 10 points.
- Diplomat sent. The cameras are recieved with huge suspicion and the media paints it as a breach of privacy and the beginning of the introduction of a police state.

Issues

- The military are concerned about their lack of tanks in the current army.
- The media are being accused of a variety of privacy breaches, from phone hacking to creepy guys stalking celebrities.
- A vote of no confidence has been called.

Jazz

- Current immigrants are accusing you of being a racist who is out of touch with the current world, which is dependent on globalisation and movement of people across the world.
- Tension decreases, though there are concerns about students who are failing to study hard enough for the new exams.
- Most of the separatists leave the castle peacefully, however one of the members pulls out a pistol and narrowly misses an officer. He has been apprehended and is soon to go on trial.

Issues

- Tensions with the UK have increased after the way they dealt with the Dover Crisis.
- After the incident at Dover Castle, there are concerns about current gun laws, and some are suggesting a nationwide ban on all firearms.
- People are complaining about the eyesore colour of your country on maps.

Sniper

- You tighten up security, and Denmark is very pleased, however police have been reduced from the roads and there are concerns about higher crime rates because of this.
- The people are impressed with your genius plan, though there are concerns about the safety of the workers. Work has began on the Satellite.
- The pacifists are insistent that the statue isn't the important part, and the symbol of the destruction of your tanks is the important bit. They say that war is impossible if you spread enough love around the world.
- The postal systems are already being replaced, and unemployment has fallen to only 1%, the lowest in the western world.
- Request sent.
- Your scientists are trying their best, however they are certain that it will take a significantly bigger investment for such a huge and important project.
- News of the Hawks reaches the media. The people are unhappy.

Issues

- Three major quality newspapers are planning to publish a story about the Hawks tomorrow.
- Pacifists are camping outside your government building.
- A defector has arrived from Sproutington, looking for refuge,

Technology: 3/10
Economy: 9/10
Military: 1/10
Diplomacy: 7/10  


Isaland is a benevolent dictatorship ruled by Sa III, son of Sa II, grandson of Sa I. The country is cold and has lots of puffins, the primary food source for the population. Despite the lack of free trade, the economy is booming due to oil being found in the icy wastes of the centre of the country. Reykjavik, the capital is no longer the biggest city - A newly made city, Fridleifsdottir, has a population of 1million due to it's close proximity to the site of the oil found. The rulers do legitimately have the best in mind for the people, however despite this there are still many pro-democracy protests.

Starting Technology: OilFinder30000
Military: Riot police and a large but unprofessional army due to conscription
Economy: 1500 credits to spend a turn

Starting Issues

- Pro-democracy protestors have set up camp nearby Reykjavik.
- The people are complaining about the policy of conscription, claiming it is stealing the prime years of their lives.
- Sa IV has been spotted at a nightclub notorious for drug usage and prostitution.

Eastern Mirozenith is land ruled by a Zoltar machine... Well, not really ruled as such. He instead advises the people on the best course of action, and he advises things including but to excluded to: Murder is bad, Theft is bad, Assault and Battery is bad...

- Threats have been issued to the Zoltar Machine about breaking his glass.
