The Resurgent Dream

It seems a little far-fetched that he would do something so certain to provoke being invaded, especially because he has no real chance, even with the help of the IASEN nations. You are speaking of these characters as though clearly established but they've never done more than sign notes IC. Maybe you could retcon things a bit and explain it away as you still working your nation out a bit. The IASEN guys would understand, I think. Most of them aren't evil OOC.

I agree with TRD. Having an historical RP invasion and occupation to eliminate slavery would be fun and consistent with the shared history of the region. But reverting to slave-owning now wouldn't work. I'm sure that we would have left all kinds of restrictions in place following the occupation to prevent it; there might even have been demands for military basing rights, etc. (Think of how NATO troops being kept in Germany after the end of occupation served not only to deter the Soviets but also to keep German nationalism from rising again.)

NATO troops were left in Germany to keep East Germany at bay, not as part of denazification. We wanted the ex-Nazis to be our friends as fast as possible because they were all militant anti-communists.

What I understand is that, while never explicitly stated, the presence of NATO troops in West Germany did serve as reassurance for the Europeans (and probably some Germans as well) that a nationalistic government would never again rise in Germany. It was understood by most elites that if anything remotely resembling Nazism began to creep back in West Germany that NATO troops were in a position to quickly and efficiently place the country under occupation. Of course, by the 70s such fears were rapidly diminishing and the US was pushing the German military to expand its role.

I'll try and talk things out with the IASEN later on tonight, and as I said Azoreus is still in development so nothing is set, I was just throwing around ideas.

I've spoken with Tezdrian, and my membership has been suspended until we can further work things out.

Hello there!

I'm here to inquire about the possibility of moving New Leicestershire to Western Atlantic for RP purposes. I've spoken to Knoot about this and he suggested that I first come here and introduce myself. So here I am.

New Leicestershire is a modern tech nation which I have always RPed as being located in the western Atlantic ocean, northwest Atlantic might be more accurate. It's currently located in the Antarctic Oasis region, but that's more of an OOC arrangement now. I did at one time RP the nation as having vague geographic and political ties to the Antarctic through a "portal" of sorts, for the purpose of taking part in a regional delegate election roleplay.

Here is New Leicestershire's wiki, if you'd like to look at it: http://www.nswiki.net/index.php?title=New_Leicestershire. It's sort of sparse right now and I understand that I would have to swap some of the RL institutions for Western Atlantic ones. I'm fine with that. I had RPed New Leicestershire as being located on an alternate Earth with institutions analogous to RL Earth institutions but changing that part of NL's back-story wouldn't be a problem.

Here is an example of how I have RPed characters from NL: http://z11.invisionfree.com/Antarctic_Oasis/index.php?showtopic=993

As for the Player behind NL, I'm known more widely as Yelda, Iron Felix, and Aundotutunagir. I'm not sure any of you would recognize those nations as they have mostly been RPed in the WA forum on NS. Most of my "serious" RPing has taken place on offsites, mainly AO. I've been playing NS since 2004.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.
