TR = Theodore Roosevelt. Seperate ship. 1 year from ordering to lay down. 3 years building, 2 years trials before commissioning.

Why such a great disparity? 11 vs 6 years?

Funding?

? The Bush was 8 years total. The only real discrepency is that the Bush took an extra 2 years before laying down.

Oh. I thought you meant 8 + 3. Ok.

[Shroom Man 777]

Aw mangs, does Shinra and the Huang Di's presence in the Vineyards mean that I CAN'T go to Messica for my trip now? Dang it!

Hey STEVE! Are you still in Cascadia? Can I go over there and visit you and pacify any fears on CATO's formation your guys might have and stuff? Better relations and all that?

[Beowulf]

What? I'm not in the Vineyards.

[Steve]

But you're still in Frequesue in stuff, or you were.


And yeah, I'm still in Cascadia. We're not quite so concerned over CATO's expansion save the questions over Siege breaking the Neutrality Pact but if you want to come, it's your choice. You'll be warmly welcomed, by our standards at least, you might find Adams quite boring compared to the hijinks and antics you're used to.

[Shroom Man 777]

Mmm... what business can we do then? I mean, aside from these international geopolitical brouhaha and militant alliance expansions and so on, I'm sure we can find other ventures to go on.

Expanding Cascadian-Old Continental trade? Airlines? Stratellites for broadband expansion? Does Cascadia have much in the way of grain exports? Stuff aside from the depressing stuff we're all getting from the F-ing continent and from the MESS and CATO trying to subtly screw each other over.

For all its homoerotic antics, Shroomania shares with Cascadia the desire to keep things calm and cool and peaceful. How about some kind of international goodwill and helpful initiative. Like a World Health Organization or something?

Expanding Cascadian-Old Continental trade? Airlines?

We are probably still one of the world's largest exporters in fine timber and lumber as well as possessing world-renowned aerospace and biotech industries, so clearly there would be some interest there.

Stratellites for broadband expansion?

A cheap alternative to nascent satellite constellations as the technology for launching sats continues to mature could be of interest.

Does Cascadia have much in the way of grain exports?

Southern Cascadia tends to be the producer of grains, as well as some grain farms in assorted valleys, orchards are more widespread the further you go north.

Stuff aside from the depressing stuff we're all getting from the F-ing continent and from the MESS and CATO trying to subtly screw each other over.

There is South Veleria to discuss, San Marin and the Astarian remnant republic have been seeking aid in restabilizing the area. And we may discuss relief and cleanup efforts in Astaria itself, given the long-term goal to render the island inhabitable again.

I'm not sure if Wilkens decided on the idea of Cascadia hosting the HQ of BIOCOM, but collaboration on supportinging a WHO and other humanitarian NGOs is certainly desirable.

I ended up giving BIOCOM a larger office building and keeping them on the Baja penninsula, that said they would still be relatively close by if you wanted to open up some sort of WHO organization (which Wilkonia as a major biomed exporter) would be happy to join.



Total aside but WIlkonia hasn't hosted anybody recently so Shroom if you are looking to kill time until Rufus gets back you could always lounge at King Andreneas' seaside palace in Cancun.

[DarthShady]

PeZooks Conspiracy theories got me thinking.

[Ryan Thunder]

Nice to see the solidarity of the FTO.

Frakking self-fulfilling predictions...

The minute Czech and Beowulf started their little scheming and no one in the FTO could conjure up a unified response or show some back bone, for the second time, what does that show about the FTO?

That Miratia doesn't have the manpower to contest the region short of nuking it into oblivion, and the Supreme Leader is smart enough not to act like they can?

[Karmic Knight]

Frakking self-fulfilling predictions...

Yes, because an organization that was shaky at the best of times is, and is now pretty much outed as completely dead, is so much better than trying to keep your country from falling apart, as others around you have, by doing what it takes to survive.

[Fingolfin_Noldor]

That Miratia doesn't have the manpower to contest the region short of nuking it into oblivion, and the Supreme Leader is smart enough not to act like they can?

Then isn't it the point of the FTO? That in unity that you can conjure a unified response and not act for yourselves?

Actually, more accurately, that I was busy with something else at the time.

Really, in retrospect, I should've taken the initiative and called a meeting or something...

What, you mean scheming to get Czech back into the game? The FTO has repeatedly refused to intervene in internal matters, and for all the world, this looks like an internal matter. He wants back, and I don't see any reason not to help him, given that I took his away in the first place. Or do you mean Mortimer's Claim, which is something the FTO is better off letting me do in the region.

If putting Czech back in the game would make Tian Jiao independent of Tian Xia, then I support it.

[Karmic Knight]

Czech made Tian Jiao directly part of Tian Xia.

[Ryan Thunder]

Czech made Tian Jiao directly part of Tian Xia.

Yeah, because he left, right?

Okay, if not, where can I read about it rather than cluttering this thread up with stupid questions?

[Czechmate]

No. I did it before I left, to cash in on the wealth and power of Tian Xia at the mere price of having to go through Beo before doing anything. One time I didn't go through Beo first, and got exiled to the Caymans.

[Coyote]

That's what OOC is for, homie!

This signals to the world that the FTO is a paper tiger, like I posted earlier, and that it can be peeled away individually and be made ripe for the plucking open to outside influences.

It's.. like either the start of the current thread or the end of the last story thread. Can't remember. You might want to search for nuke and posts made by Czech, because he stole a nuke and blew it up or somethign there abouts.

[K. A. Pital]

Hahah. I object to restoring Czech in his place. He's a loose cannon - and dealing directly with Beowulf was much more productive for the political stability of the world in the recent years.

Also, if you lost your nation in-game due to it's destruction, or your removal as a ruler, I guess that's tough luck.

Timeline for Tian Jiao:

Established early 1800s by Tian Xia colonists.

~1910: civil war occurs between east and west halves. Huang Di declines to intervene due to financial problems with the world war. This resulted in the exile of the Eastchester family from the province. Duke of Westchester begins ignoring Imperial Edicts. Huang Di of Tian Xia stops sending them. Country is renamed after ruling family of Westchester, effectively resulting in independence.

development as country happens here

2010: PRSF attacks through the Gloucester Valley. Westchesterian forces conduct holding action against numerically superior PRSF forces. Duke of Westchester pleads for help. Huang Di Beowulf offers the assistance of the Empire. Arrangements are made for the rejoining of the wayward province to the Empire. Imperial forces route PRSF forces, destroying any that fail to make it back over the ante-bellum border.

Duke of Tian Jiao proceeds to get increasingly paranoid.

forgot the date: Duke of Tian Jiao attempts to utilize nuke in show of force against FTO. Stopped by TXAF officer. Huang Di dismisses Duke Ezekiel from governorship.

[K. A. Pital]

He should've really been executed, failing that: assassinated. Yeah, that's my inner evil voice speaking.

[Czechmate]

Yeah. Beo summarizes it perfectly.

Also, Stas, keep these things to yourself. This is not a referendum for you to involve your opinion in. It's up to Beowulf.
