I don't know, man. But since it's CATO leaders doing these things to them, my protocol people probably hate their guts by now. Luckily, they're pros so they won't show it, ever.Karmic Knight wrote:Why does everyone hate your staff so much?

While Japanistan might well try and get Indhopal in their pocket through some means, they are generally friendly to Tonkin, or at least view them as a balance against the MESS and now CATO (I believe that was why they had those three way agreements back in the day). So I'd imagine Japanistan would also try and convince Indhopal to let Tonkin take over. Or at least wouldn't arm them specifically to fight against the IRT.

Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

Re: SD.Net World Redux Comment Thread VII
Tonkin has historically been a major trading and technology partner with Japanistan, even through their isolationism. Our advanced interceptor design is Japanistani, for example, as is some of our nuclear reactor technology. As RogueIce noted, it is more likely that they would use the IRT to counterbalance thes MESS and CATO.
Re: SD.Net World Redux Comment Thread VII
South Astaria? IIRC they were never touched.

Astarian-held Veleria is an independent country, technically the Astarian remnant with most of the 10 million or so survivors of Astaria proper living there, though they're probably heavily influenced by Shroomania as Astaria was coming into the now-defunct FUN when Shep wiped them out.

Re: SD.Net World Redux Comment Thread VII
I was working towards this before phongn re-joined; I'll have to find a method to the madness. After all, with Japanistan involved, they might be in a position to, ahem, 'convince' a settlement and perhaps allow a joint occupation in the interests of peace, whatever-- much like I had to accomodate Japanistan in al-Akharabat.RogueIce wrote: Coyote

Does that go against the sweet nothings being whispered into Indhopal's ear? Perhaps... or it could be seen as a mere disagreement between the letter and the spirit of the agreement. Either way, Japanistan is never altruistic. They want a foothold as well, or they risk getting left out, and if by striking a stance as "defender of the downtrodden" gets them that foot in the door, they'll take it.
