Alright, so here's the treaty on Azores: 1. The Azores islands will be completely neutral ground, not owned or claimable by any nation that signs. 2. The research that takes place cannot be military oriented. 3. The islands will be completely demilitarized, with no military vessels/aircraft/personnel allowed on or within 10 miles of the islands. 4. The Islands will have its own security force, made up of native residents of the islands 5. No stealing research/projects or withholding research that is being done or has been completed on the islands. If these are broken, then every country gains Casus Belli on the country that broke this. Research will progress at a much more rapid pace, due to the collaboration of many different nations and perhaps super-powers. How each nations decides how to apply the research is up to them (give to only the rich, sell at extortionist prices, give to everyone, etc), but cost should be calculated; eg. you can't realisticly give a drug that costs 10 million a dose to everyone in your country, or you would go bankrupt. Should be good for now.

If we ban these strategic weapons (ICBMs, EMPs, etc), there will have to be some kind of international peace treaty with the most powerful nations. If the smaller nations go to war, sure, they can use conventional warfare and stand more of a chance. However, if a large, wealthy nation was to go to war against a smaller nation, that nation would either 1) surrender, 2) destroy itself, or 3) get taken over. Right now, strategic weapons sort of serve as something similar to MAD. With EMP devices becoming more common, as well as ICBMs, nations would be deterred from using them against each other because they know that there'll be a retaliation. I see what you're saying, actually. Okay, its fine the way it is. I have proceeded to move troops into both Afghanistan and Pakistan, they will soon be claimed by Iran, at which point I am going to change my countries name into something more awsome. Middle Eastern Republic?

*shrugs* I agree to the map as it is, don't really care if Russia gets Alaska or not, that's up to Walka. However, the lands and islands east of Quebec are all the most heavily British parts of Canada (Newfoundland in particular didn't join Canada until the middle of WW2), so it makes more sense that it would go to Britannia. Pakistan and Afghanistan? Sounds fine to me. German news: A massive scientific research base is being built in the Azores isles, which would be capable of any number of scientific purposes. Germany proposes a scientific treaty to all nations, where the Azores will be considered neutral ground, and foreign scientists can work together regardless of politcal tensions or wars going on on projects that would further human development and prosperity. Germany offers its research into the vision improving cream it is working on to anyone willing to sign this treaty/agreement. *The Azores will be a demilitarized area, with only a small garrison made up of the local population. No military vessels of any kind will be permitted to dock, land, or base on or around the isles.

Faraday Cages. Besides, if that wasn't the case, then everyone would be using EMPs to take out everything opposing them. Exosuits? EMPs. Walkers? EMPs. Stealth bombers? EMPs. And even if the chips were somehow knocked out, it wouldn't effect me a great deal, since only around 5-10% of my military has them atm. And I already have a larger population then Russia, but I'm not making the same mistake as every bloody European conqueror has made, which is attacking Russia. I have no desire for Russian land anyways.

Yea, I think there was some weird loophole in the assault weapon ban in the states that allowed you own an automatic rifle as long as you had purchased it before the ban. There's also a handful of miniguns that get passed from collector to collector in the states as well, and they're legal since they were owned before some point in time.

Hm. I don't really have any problem with it, since I don't really need the Arctic isles, but you may find some opposition from Sere with that plan.

Portugal joining T4R would be extremely unrealistic, considering that you share the same language, some of the same culture, and were once a Portuguese colony. Though there would be some resentment from that, the Portugese would be more willing to join a country that they have legitimate ties to rather then mine. The same applies to Canada. Canada would only join countries that it has ties with. Since it was a former colony of mine, it would most likely on join me, some other Anglo nation, or remain independent. They also wouldn't join Germany since they don't share the same language, plus the fact that they were enemies of Germany during WWII and wouldn't be interested in taking part in any kind of Reich. The only Canadian territory that could realistically go to the Germans would be the generally unpopulated northern islands, minus Prince Edward's Island (I'm not sure if it's in that area or not). However, Quebec joining the Brazilian Empire is a possibility as they have a desire to separate themselves from Canada anyway, as well as the fact that they share a similar language and possibly a more similar culture. I'm not trying to strong-arm you because you want to annex Canada, but I'm stating what would be more realistic in this case. Nono I understand, its just that with Germany's acquisition of Greenland it now has legitimate claims to the Canadian Arctic. How about this, a deal to satisfy every country? The Arctic isles goes to The Fourth Reich The English speaking portion of Canada goes to Britannia Quebec goes to the Brazilian Empire And Alaska returns to Russia Does that work for everyone?

This new drug will be called BMDE1 when it is finished (Bone mineral density enhancer 1).

Why You aren't playing in the spirit of the game. A lot of the things you post make very little sense. You invent a new technology every year, sometimes more than one a year, that you would not be able to do in real life. So either be more realistic or stop. and he wtfpwns every single country he meets, instantly occupying it without any revolutions. Considering 1 day = 1 year, I don't think the rapid conquest is all that unrealistic. The Nazis took 3 years to conquer most of Europe, and a good portion of Russia, and they didn't have any of the tech that's being used in these games. Not to mention that the countries I've taken were not in play, so they had none of this tech and had a military strength of whatever it is presently. How is that any more unrealistic then countries in SA joining the Brazilian Empire because of fear of me (a country half the world away). They would be more afraid of the Brazilian Empire. Also: But I see that I'm not going to convince you, so whatever. I would still like to hear what tech I've developed in a year, though.

What new technology is being invented in a year?

If they did they've never spoke up after at least a dozen postings of the map. and..Why -.- What the [bleep] is your problem, why can you be the only country which wtfpwns other whilst not even having a rebellion or something? Is The Fourth Reich the only developed country on this world? you seem to act superior to others whilst you arent... *sigh* No, I posted that face because I had just finished updating the map and uploading it 3 different times, then refreshed the page and saw that it needed to be updated yet again. Quit being so testy. Also, there is plenty of partisan activity in German occupied lands, which is why a few pages back I said that pretty much all aggressive expansion had stopped and troops were now being devoted to dealing with the problem. Not to mention that Luxembourg just knocked out all the power in France...

You are not the one to negotiate the freedom of my country. You fail to see how powerful a nation we are. Ugh. A guarantee of independence is not a treaty or a diplomatic action taken between two countries. One country can grant a guarantee of independence to another, regardless of whether or not they want it or not. [hide=updated map with belarus and Somalia's new land (*chuckle*)][/hide] If there are claims currently being put forth for Canada, Germany would like to lay claim to the arctic islands in the extreme north.

-.-

Hehehehehehehehehe, have fun with that. I think it's so cute you're doing that. : It would need to be far away from civilisation, and then you have to hope you could detect such a minute pulse. Then there is the fact that you have to make sure it's a steal plane, and then keep a lock on it. Plus planes act as a sort of Faraday cage, as do cars. Not as good as a proper one, but still well enough. Honestly that biological enhancer sounds more realistic, even though you NEED to have your bones in your body. On the whole I need a lot of giant EMP bombs to wipe out your chips thing. EMP blasts gain power the higher they are set off from. The problems are that the plane will be fried as well, and any of your equipment down there would also be destroyed. Funnily enough, it will kill a car, but not the car's battery, so you could still use the lights, due to the way they work. Don't think you could just EMP Australia though, seeing as up to now I am the only one to have worked on them. Due to my men retreating to friendly territory, and promising not to attack the Nazis I will not EMP until threatened, I hope that German and Russia agree not to attack my men. On a side note it's odd having Russia and German on the same side in a war. Firstly, we are not Nazis. Second, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_radar <- Please read before you start making any more uninformed assumptions about passive radar. Third, ughhhhh, EMP blasts do not destroy the chips!

[hide=]uploaded the wrong 1 gimme a sec[/hide] Denmark is not part of Findenland. The "den" part is from Sweden. Also, I don't think I even did guarantee the independence of Findenland.

:( Here you go:

The German diplomats sent to Morocco, Algeria, and Portugal have returned. Algeria and Morocco have accepted the proposal to join The Fourth Reich, however, Portugal has declined and stated that it would instead join the Brazilian Empire. It has given Germany the Azores Islands as a token of goodwill and a gesture that would hopefully dissuade future conflict in Portugal between them and T4R. Updated map using Sere's flags + colours: [hide=][/hide]

The Fourth Reich agrees. Destroyed land is not very desirable for conquest. And we are not the "Axis" To Sere: I have already guaranteed the independence of Bulgaria, Somalia, Holland, and Findenland if they did not interfere. Since they remained neutral I intend to honour that agreement, even if it means squaring off against Russia. Plus I gain casus belli on any nation that attacks those mentioned above.

Only thing I can see wrong is that Holland is in the hands of a user atm, and is not part of Britannia.

Germany has begun research on a new passive detection radar system that could theoretically detect stealth aircraft by their electromagnetic emissions. Germany's automatic air defense system is also undergoing systematic upgrades that will improve the machines detection-to-engagement time. Yeah, by all means go ahead, it's just a rough thing to give people an idea of the status of the world.

Oh and Sere, the Netherlands are taken as well. And Rpg, since you just ignored my post on the matter (from page 85): The melting of the chips would happen if they were the soldier was captured and someone tried to reverse-engineer the chips, not if damage was taken to them. Though I suppose over-working of the chips could melt them, but I can't see a situation where that would happen. I rounded up most of those people and have them prisoner, but okay, they've knocked out the electricity in the area. It won't affect the chips, though, as this is from page 68: No, they all have mini-faraday cages built into them to discharge emp blasts. Germany is working to restore power in the area, and an additional 300,000 troops have been deployed to France to combat the resistance. Russia is supplying me with most of my oil (most of my forces are unadorned infantry, so they use little oil as well), and my forces use little to no uranium since nuclear weapons have been removed. Edit: Formatting & Grammar [hide=updated map][/hide] T4R has halted nearly all of its advance, excluding the current attack taking place on Greece. New men are being taken in from Germany's new territories and being trained, but as of now the number 1 priority of German forces is the subdueing of militant and guerrilla fighters in occupied territories. 40% of Germany's air force has been devoted to this new duty, for picking out hidden guerrilla camps and lending support to forces under attack/on the offensive.

Rumours night club in Toronto is pretty naise, though :thumbup:

I plan on getting a Yugoslavian or Chinese SKS sometime soon, once my permit goes through. I have a very keen liking of guns and their importance in human history, and I plan on going to the range quite often with my baby :P (though I'll probably get laughed at for having an SKS) Overall, though, the SKS is quite a reliable gun. Just as durable and powerful as an AK47, but its legal for civvies to own since its not an automatic (Canadian law - I'm sure its different in the States).

Where the hell are you getting all these body enhancing chemicals from!? Surely they would take longer than that to develop! And thats not even starting on the matter of producing enough to supply all of Germany's special forces AND the normal troops as well! They've been in research pretty much since since I gained Germany. This is nothing new. Special forces troops make up around 25,000 of Germany's armed forces, and application to regular forces has only just begun. No where did I state that they all have them, much like nowhere near a majority have the new intergrated chips installed. Yeah, I wasn't sure where that came from with the whole exploding to save the world, but I figured i might have missed something. That was what I heard from somewhere, can't recall who said it though. I will update the map in a little bit.
