1 Flagship (Sa Matra Class) 10 Ultra Heavy Battleships 40 Super Heavy Battleships 100 Heavy Battleships 29,800 Battleships You attacking my E2S missile grid...from the inside. Okay... My ships that attacked Nova Lux attacked from the inside as well! They came out of the planets core. What you said is pretty much "My super secret spies collapsed all your defenses! And none were caught!" Nevermind that my E2S grid doesn't exactly have a conveiniently placed "DONT PRESS THIS! IT SHUTS OFF THE ENTIRE DEFENSES FOR THE PLANET!" button somewhere that's easily accesible by people who are: A.) Not Terran citizens B.) Not Terran military personnel C.) Not Terran ethnicity D.) Don't have the proper access codes E.) Don't have the correct fingerprints, retina scans, etc F.) Don't have even the STANDARD genetic improvements given to Terran military personnel, let alone the higher tier ones given to those deemed loyal (who are the same ones who would have any sort of ability to shut down a local grid). Even the highest ranking General in the Terran military doesn't have all the codes to shut down an entire planet's defenses, let alone Earth's.

The map that Retech posted was scaled down, so it makes colouring it in impossible, so I'm basing this off Arch's (which didn't get distorted): [hide=World Map][/hide]

Um, what? I have the most extensive E2S defenses out of anyone, both on Earth and elsewhere; hell, I have planetary [bleep]ing shields. Furthermore, the majority of my industrial capacity is located in on Midgard and Holmgard, in two systems that are 20+ lightyears away from Earth. Also, I have 2 battlestations around Earth, as well as my entire Beta fleet, which is around 30,000 ships. And you didn't think that that information would be readily available to anyone? Listen, just because you start a secret project doesn't mean its secret. If I start a project say...to build a giant robotic killing machine the size of a planet everyone is going to know about it, regardless of whether I call it 'secret' or give it some codename. Building a bunch of defenses around your land is something that is impossible to keep secret.

I'm giving you oil for uranium.

1. We were allies. They were attacked during the war, I know exactly where they are. 2. Not really. It just means it would take longer. 3. I have my fleet + Sere's + The Aryans. My fleet is actually quite a lot larger than yours, since most of your time was spent building flashy space buildings out in the middle of nowhere. 4. I never declared war on you.

Oh ok. We're still trading oil for uranium, yes? And does anyone have the most recent map that isn't resized so that all the pixels get buggered up when it's posted?

So then you'll be influencing me? :s Which will again be disbanded and sold. Also, Icu, we're trading my oil for your uranium, yes?

Siege doesn't just mean I'll sit around outside while you grow food and laugh. There would be constant attacks, posioning food supplies, power cuts, etc. Eventually, if the people inside didn't die, the people would just get fed up and demand that the military surrenders, considering they won't be killed, hurt, oppressed, or anything. Jeez, why can't people just agree to have a unification, so that we end this game peacefully?

On what? And Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, and Azerbaijan. I'm just following everyone else. Mather has taken over all of Scandinavia Retech has half the pacific Paul has taken some countries Rocco has Malaysia as a puppet and Ross has just invaded Indonesia -- Important to note: I'm not annexing Ukraine. Neither is Ukraine losing its independence. Ukraine and Romania are forming the South Slavic Republic, so essentially, Romania is losing its independence. Futhermore, I have no bloody army so I'm not exactly going to be going on an annex-fest and go create a super-power. But you're daft if you think I'm going to sit around with my piddly little Eastern European country and wait to get invaded.

It's South Slavic.

Sold to Icu. Also, Ukraine has joined with Romania. It shall be the South Slavic Republic.

Probably just going to declare himself winner then lock the thread.

? Your Romanian, hes American.... It means 'no'. We have 5 billion! Anyone care to go higher?

Doom, I have more military personnel on Earth than you do people. -- And Arch stop screwing around with everything just because you don't like what's happening. You're here to resolve disputes, not pilot the game.

Now we're rolling.

So, the way you want to end it is: "I blow everyone up, haha [bleep] you I win!" How is that more spectacular than getting every nation to unite under one banner, and having a unified Earth?

Heh, 50m. Okay, bid starts at 50m!

Nobody is really paying attention to you anymore, just Arch so that he doesn't have to calculate results. Also, TFed has sent out 20,000 ships in separate directions in the direction of Brazil's system.

Yay Unification Day! And Doom a war between us would boil down to a war of atrittion. Considering I have more planets, more people, a larger military, a more fanatical population, more allies, and only slightly less production power... I think it's fair to say who would win. So let's just unite together, we can even change the name to The Human Republic or something.

These are still on sale to whoever bids highest: -- Romania going through education reform, to eliminate the massive amounts of time in the standard school system that is spent doing nothing and learning zilch. There's also being more of an emphasis on online courses and alternative education, and the time saved means that there are a large number of community centres and recreational programs being set up across Romania.

I don't think Romania has any astronauts on it.

Ha! We are using Wikipedia as our fountain of knowladge, and our collective knowladge of the world as the basis for continuing the modern world....We are all acting like we know what we are talking about...when really we just think we do. I just tend to be more self-confident because I have the collective knowladge of millions of hours of reading text books, watching documentaries and thinking about the world....And not drinking, which probably helped a lot in confidence building...no Dutch Courage for me. I agree Dusty, but from the last Hegemony I know that typically the entire population was armed with guns and sent to kill everyone and everything, so I think there needs to be some ruling on that. *Shrug* Parading around pseudo-intellectualism as if it were fact simply to sway opinion is something that's best left to the media. Us little folk shouldn't dabble with the dark arts.

*shrug* I have the capacity now to produce like...30,000 battleships a year.
