Oh we don't mind. The only issue is finding pictures of modern day guards with similar attire.

The LSR will allow you to visit, and bring your guard.
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."
Coyote, I just formed my Northern Squadron, and am basing it at one of the locations you suggested by PM. Hope you don't mind that I did it without a formal "I give permission" from you, but you said that you didn't mind the idea of it, so I took the initiative.
The Republic of Mangka welcomes the Emperor of Byzantium as well.
As for Olympics, I suggest Buzkashi. Since it's an "everyone vs. 1" game, it could be either all nations participating or probably 2 nations switching in team numbers and game rounds. After all, this is SDN

No objections. Just don't bring an excessively large guard along. You shouldn't need a company of bodyguards.

I take it that the Olympics has soccer? A team of Turks and Greeks would definitely play. We have the whole plethora of athletics, as a modern Greece and Turkey would attest to.

Well, too many would just remain on board the An-225, which is large enough to require a few. I think I'll keep it to 2 squads of 10 each.
EDIT: BTW, Coyote, can I send the Byzantine Admiral of the Fleet Himerios for a good will visit and a chit chat with your admirals?

Whoops.
Go ahead and make an announcement. This is one of those things that can easily be "in the background" and wouldn't need constant updates, anyway.
EDIT: And of course the Emperor of Byzantium is welcome to visit the Shinra Republic.

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! If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!! Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

Pick between a hundred million (10% of capital costs I bear each year) or 500 million (50%) it will take me 10 billion and 10 years of R&D and testing (including a 1:2 size manned scramjet testbed)

Hmm.. How about 500 million? Of course we will jointly look into developing applications and so forth for it.

Since that magnificient Bastard Shep (or at least his clone) is back, i was wondering, even if every Shepnukistani Soldier on Garner's side stepped down, would not Shepnukistan be, i don't know, in a state of economic shambles from the MASSSIVE FUCKING CIVIL WAR and in no condition to begin force projecting for some time?

Well, territorial Shepnukistan is not under Shep's control; he's living in the Neverhood occupied territories.
Incidentally, there's a ceasefire between the East-West factions so far, but Shep's untimely arrival may topple the cards.
