Yes, you in your unassaultable floating fortress. Great start. :/

I sold you the Holy Empire slot on Mars as well, remember? Also, that orange slot above New Jakarta is part of New Kazakhia, as well as the orange slot between Germania and Sri Lanka. Nice try buddy. Kazakhstan never took over New Russia (which is the spot next to New Germania). Tbh idk who removed New Russia from the map. The slot between the Sri Lankan sector (Nigerian?) and the New Germanian sector was something that Trol assumed control of as she expanded. Kamino assumed control over New Russia before World War 5. True that. I took all of the Russian land on Mars while everyone else was freaking out over Earth. As planned, I was virtually ignored. Until Doom stormed through my country of course, but then again that was barely intentional. Ah yes. I saw it, but considering I was already fighting a war with half the players in the game I didn't feel like pressing the matter. Now, however... *dundundunnn* kidding!

When do we start? And I'm the Danes I guess :)

Erm

It depends on whose involved in the combat. Obviously the person you're fighting against can't be war judge as well, and vice versa. We'll work it out like that. Like Doom said, the beginning parts of the Hegemony were the funnest.

Steampunk sounds good. I'd prefer if there was no moderation whatsoever except for combat, though.

Dibs on Switzerland. edit: Actually! I'll take Iceland

I cut off all of Retech's fingers.

With your finger or you.... Never you mind young man!

I sneak up behind Arch and give him a wet willy then run away giggling.

Haha Sere

Oh you gotta admit, she was quite the looker. edit: Sorry, I meant hooker.

bah bah bahhhh cancer its the smoke! heart disease its the smoke!! if they wanna obtain their nicotine it's okay...IT'S THE SMOOOOOOOOOOKEEEE.

BASTARD! Fine, I stop the airlift supplies to your remote igloo! Have fun surviving on snow! (Though...I suppose since we are Canadian that's not really a problem for us...DAMN).

Ratchet?!? A new person? How unprecedented! I smash a chair over Joe Biden's head, knocking him out, then run and enter the room that says DO NOT ENTER. Oh, I'm a rebel!

The winners are always the good guys aren't they ;) After all, they get to write the history. America wasn't perfect during WWII. We had interment camps of our own. That wasn't too heroic. But you can't watch a classic WWII movie and tell me that there weren't some true heroes involved in the fighting. Yes but I think the discussion is about what defines a "hero". Someone who fights for his country is not a hero, they're a soldier. However, if someone fights for some other sort of noble cause or even sacrifices himself for his comrades, he's considered a hero. Tbh, I think the idea of a "hero" has been so warped over time that it no longer means "a person who fights for good", but rather, "a person who fights for ME.". I'm sure plenty of Iraqis and Afghans think that the suicide bombers and "resistance fighters" are heroes, yet to us we're presented with the image of a deplorable unhonourable combatant, who hides behind civilians and exploits our "nobility (if such a thing really exists)". But...honestly, how can you fight against America if you're a country like Iraq or Afghanistan? You can't match them with tanks, aircraft, or any other sort of mechanical instrument of war. So, you're forced to hide behind civilians and strike from the shadows. I'm 100% sure that if the soviets invaded America during the cold war and the Americans resisted in much the same manner as the Afghans and Iraqis are nowadays, they'd be lauded as heroes by the population. Yet, we demonize them as the bad guys...why? No because they are actually bad, it's simply because they are fighting back. I think America is going through some sort of warped colonial era right now. Obviously they can't colonize Africa and whatnot, since there are already countries there; but they can sort of bend the political landscape of the world to exploit countries for economical gain, which is the new era of warfare. I think my point has diverged way past the original reply, but I don't really care. *initiates flameshield*

Pff WW2 was two bullies fighting eachother. The winner just got the ability to declare himself the "good guy".

Relax Reb.

We're Canadian. We can fend off the zombies with hockey sticks and rye bottles. Tbh, I think Canada would be the only safe-zone in the world, because Canadians are the only people with the stupidity and balls to say "ZOMBIES? [bleep] that, eh. THIS. IS. CANADA. *kicks zombies off the rockies*". Thanks for re-enforcing the steryotype. steryotypes I've spent years trying to rid the world of. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to feed my pet polar bear. Oh you lucky bastard. I have a pet beaver and moose. Any chance you'd like to trade? The beaver can collect firewood, and the moose can...well...eat all your food.

pfft "discovered". Nice try there Britannian government, we know you've been cultivating them all along.

Tbh it depends on the situation and political leanings of the time. Do Germans today consider those who served in the German army and the SS of WW2 heroes? No. But did they then? Certainly. It all has to do with the leanings of today. During every generation, those who served in the armed forces are seen as heroes, but hindsight is 20/20 of course, and we realize now that our "heroes" of past generations are really nothing but a bunch of guys (and gals!) doing their jobs, sometimes a bit too well. I think the only reason this sort of questioning as to whether those serving in the armed forces today can be considered heroes comes from our easy access to information, something which we never really had until the invention of the printing press (hell, the masses never really had it until around 100 years later when it became profitable to provide such information to that many people). Are they heroes? No. They're just people doing their jobs. There are some heroes serving in the armed forces, that's not really debatable. But the actually number of people is a very small percentage, as with the entire human population. /ramble.

I can buy your hemp. My people are eternally searching for escape mechanisms from their oppressive pseudo democratic government. Coincidentally eh? HMM

[bleep] off Kenshin you fascist bastard.

Oh good, because I've consumed enough alcoholic beverages to consider war over the lands, even though they are piss porr. ANYWAYS Sere, we should declare war on Malaysia. Because it's a funny name. Or maybe Mather, because of his fascination with stargate stuffs.
