You’re discussing a war without Gen. Fehr? My proposal for this war is the same one I’ve spent 20 or so posts on in other forums: I feel that, for the purposes of humanity, it would be best if we declared war on Joel Stein. I’ve mentioned some officers that I’d like to participate on this expedition, and I hope that they are willing to participate. So, who’s with me? Gen. Fehr, Commander, Straight Dope Armed Forces ---

Ok… so how does this whole invasion thing work? I’ve put a country into the Sea of Cecil. Do I need to join the UN before I can help out? _runs off to join the UN_ ---

The Confederacy of Highwater Isle has just moved into the Sea, and is more than willing to contribute its forces if they are so needed. ---

If you’re going to help the Pirate force you should join the UN and pay attention to the war talk. Also don’t forget to decide your issues. You can try and be benevolent or tyrannical. Perhaps some one can link to a war in progress so we can see how goes the taunting and role-playing. Unfortunately the entire Mare Unae campaign has been wiped from their board. Or you might be able to find a war to observe in the forums. Here’s [Farktopia](http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_region/region=farktopia). There’s a link on that page to Farkistan which is unforunately locked. Meaning they are currently invasion proof. I look forward to watching you all splatter your grunts across the faces of those undeserving regions. ---

Brasylvania has successfully weaseled its way into the United Nations. While my scheduling is usually wierd enough to prevent any coordinated attack, I’ll be more than happy to hold down the fort while others brave the cream pies and boxing gloves on springs in the heat of battle. ---

Sir, the Democratic Republic of Happiness has just applied to the UN. Within 24 hours, my troops will be ready for whatever you have us do. I am more than willing to sacrifice my troops to achieve complete victory. All will tremble when they hear of The Sea of Cecil. (I’m new at this, so be patient. Thanks.)

Huh, I forgot my name, it’s the Democratic Republic of Non-badness, not happiness. Anywho…just some questions, in this region, are the majority of the countries tyrannical? I know they’re all militant, but how about oppressive? ---

If you’re referring to the Sea, you’re totally wrong. Very few of our nations are militant and even fewer are oppressive. In general we tend to lean leftwards, and we tend to be a freedom-loving, democratic region. Some notable exceptions (Iofiel and Feral Robotic Goatmen come to mind) are far off that mark, favoring instead complete authoritarianism and total subjugation of their peoples. It must be noted that in so doing they make extremely valuable contributions to our regional economy. ---

Wut White Lightning said. Oh, good news, guys. I’ve been talking with Farkistan about an alliance between us against Farktopia. They’ll send in soldiers to the attack and’ll help us defend. ---
