Voodoo Nova

Right meow, it is your fault.

Well ok.

"Novak recognizes and welcomes the stability of the County of Hesse."

The "election" should just be the 3 GM's approving someone the participants most involved (the two who started it) in the conflict agree would be the best choice, should a GM be involved.

This has worked well over the years. It's specific to one event and only comes up when it is needed.

No one is suggesting otherwise.

With 800 points per nation, when a merger happens then the IC becomes "New merged nation economies tanks, falling into depression" and "We have double the territory to defend, but we need to cut half the military". Some countries merge for the extra power, strength and diplomatic positioning that it provides and all of it can still tell a great story. If two merged nations tell a great story for a merged nation, I see no issue with each person having 800 points apiece.

This could work for two people who RP together as one (i.e, Cent and I in Russia), without putting in the RP effort of merging two nations. (In this case, it'd be 1200 + 800 if Russia and someone merges). Another way to think about it is like this: American Enclave and CSA want to merge. They either can have one nation with 1600 points or they can ICly make everything like they were merged, except on the map they are two different "countries". OOCly, there is no difference between those setups, so all the "800 per nation" rule does is make it so no one will merge into one nation ICly. It doesn't prevent the "Everything, but on the map" workaround that you'll see as a result.

When a merge between two nations occurs, each person has to RP the 800 points on their own, so that the situation of a single person RPing with more than their 800. Should any player in a merged nation go inactive, the points from that person are gone. This prevents several people merging and leaving the nation with more than their 800 after the other players go inactive/leave.

It looks like someone tossed some dirt on the flag.

He technically can't. It has to be granted to him like a protectorate territory. That's how I interpret it, at least.

Construction on a new capital had begun some months after the meeting in Riyadh ended. Amal, the name of the new city, will rise and from Riyadh. The abandoned structures that once littered the outer neighborhoods were torn down, with parks and newer buildings taking their place. The old Riyadh skyline, holding just the Kingdom Center and Al Faisaliyah Center, would be replaced with a large variety of mid and high-rise structures across double the area. Their designs would invoke a sense of pride as native architects are called upon to create this new city. Amal will host government and military headquarters in the Capital, within the center of the city. The Capital will appear to be like any other neighborhood compared to the size and scope of Amal, allowing it to remain hidden among the city. The perimeter of the Territory would be designed to withstand assault from the ground and skies. It would be protected by specially-trained members of each military service. Underneath the Capital, an extensive NBC-proof facility, designed to allow for government data storage and government continuity, would be built to house the Military Council and government in case of an attack by a foreign power. Its design would mirror the above-ground structures, with reinforced tunnels to provide easy connection between the aboveground and underground government offices. Off the Coast Admiral Kochavi and General Qurei were on a teleconference meeting with Brig. General Nasser and Brig. General Marek Geffen aboard the NS Mecca, the same command ship the Admiral first spoke after the disaster. In teleconference room, off in the corner, stood the podium he used. The Novaki flag was still missing, as were other flags to signify which country owned the vessel. “We have administrative control of Rafah and Khan Yunis, Admiral. My units have developed a working relationship with the local population, who are being provided assistance in exchange for aiding our search for members of The Lord’s Sword. Their information, as well as reconnaissance and surveillance, suggests the group controls some rural settlements for training purposes. These facilities house roughly two hundred terrorists, some of whom could be from as far as northern Europe. We will be conducting air strikes within the next 24 hours,” stated Brig. General Nasser regarding Gaza. Brigadier General Geffen spoke next, “Qatar and Bahrain are home to the two largest training facilities, as well as the location of their primary base on Suwad al Janubiyah of the Hawar Islands. This is where we believe Essa Reid is located. We have been tracking the development of a makeshift runway. As far as we understand the situation, this is being used by only Reid as he flies between Gaza and the Qatar Protectorate Region.” “Do you know of his current location” asked Admiral Kochavi. “At this time, it is believed he is in his personal residence. We intend on sending a small team to capture him before his next visit to Rafah.” “Excellent.” The meeting ended shortly after the updated. General Qurei briefed the Admiral on Heard and McDonald later in the day, ensuring Aviv was up-to-date on the radar site. The site was nearly ready for use. Wiring problems early on were finally fixed, allowing the facility to become operational. The next steps would be to test the equipment to ensure they meet operational requirements.

Please remove Mexico. I won't have time to RP a full-country. If anyone wants someone to RP with them in their nation, let me know.

I listen to the USMC Hymn, Eternal Father and Anchors Aweigh.

If it hasn't been mentioned, I think an option of "Current System, No Changes" should be on the poll.

Mexico please.

In Qatar & Bahrain A temporary base of operations for two divisions was set up in Doha, capital of the Qatar Protectorate Region, to facilitate the search and destroy mission against Essa Raid and The Lord’s Sword. The first division, based in Qatar would have forward bases established in Ras Laffan, Dukhan and on the Inland Sea. Another division was dispatched to conduct the search in Bahrain, which would have three forward bases at the Sheik Air Base in the south, at the Bahrain International Airport in the North, and in Riffa. In Gaza Gaza Airstrip was taken by a small team of Novaki Special Forces operatives. Upon capture, several planes would be sent to the region to begin the search for Raid and eventual incorporation to the Novaki state. The Admiral would send Brigadier General Mohammad Nasser, of the Novaki Amphibious Forces, to Gaza to lead operations in Khan Yunis and Rafah. He would be appointed Interim Military Governor until such a time the local population could become Novakian. In Heard & McDonald The military equipment left behind by the Japanese would be sent to the Novaki Military Research Agency to determine how it works and how to fight against it in the future. The structures in place would be completed by naval engineers, with radar, sonar and other detection equipment on the way. In conjunction with the other African nations, the island would become a defense interest and asset to Novak. Riyadh The old capital of Novak, a city of former prosperity and glory, sat quiet in the sands around it. The large population that made up the city is long gone, with only a few hundred thousand remaining. The buildings, the largest skyscrapers, the roads and home have begun their descent into disrepair. From the old Republic Tower in the center of the city, Kochavi looked around him. His face held a strong gaze and his body was still. The Military Council meeting was about to begin. Admiral Aviv Kochavi turned to face his cohorts, General Ahmed Qurei of the Novakian Army, and General Mohammad Nasser of the Novakian Air Force. He began speaking about the transition and The Lord’s Sword. “…This has provided us a perfect opportunity. Novak’s reaches in the Middle East and the Indian will be greater than our predecessor. We will soon be able to maintain a naval presence in the Mediterranean without the need for allied support, as well as expand our resource holdings. The work we have accomplished in such a short time is nothing short of a miracle after the attack in Aden.” “How long do you believe this government will need to exist?” asked General Qurei, shortly after the Admiral finished speaking. “As long as is necessary, even if that means we will need to rule as a Council indefinitely, General” the Admiral said sternly and confidently. General Nasser sat quietly for a moment. He was mostly along for the ride, in what many outside observers will eventually see as a military coup d'etat. “Admiral, if we are to show that Novak has not fallen from this event that we will not back down, then we must act internally. We must rebuild Aden. I suggest we build a new capital territory, a centralized and heavily defended location from where we can govern and operate,” stated General Nasser.

My proposal for Navy Reform as posted in the Discussion Bus. It's the current system with the ability to swap. If you could add it to the list of proposals in your post tbm, that'd be great.

She shouldn't be posting here when she's locked either.

11 weeks is 1/5th of a year. One more week and it'd be 1/4th.

Get Ariana's panties out of your ass, people do that with Iowa's, Y-23's and Kirov's already.

I'll offer up my suggestion as an alternative based in the current system.

The USS Zumwalt is not a test ship. It will be deployed. If it is needed before its official commission date, it will be used as a part of the fleet. Just because there are government regulations that dictate how procurement is done does not mean the technology cannot be used before the in-service date. As a side note for this discussion, there is nothing in the rules that state it must be "in-service", just that it exists in or before the tech year.

In the article: Production has started; the first magazine was delivered to the U.S. Navy on 25 May 2010. Here is the video of it being built from the company: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFLOs84q6dI The AGS exists. It has been produced. The ammunition has been produced, otherwise the gun wouldn't have been built. You should be producing F-22's, since they were first done in 1996.

In CNRP1, I held Novak from July 2008-August 2011. I then held Ireland from January 2012-March 2012, Mexico from March 2012-March 2013 (something along those lines, it ended shortly before Tikal formed) and Argentina twice sometime in 2013. In CNRP2, I've held Novak from July 1, 2014 to today, which follows the history of Novak from CNRP1.
