[X] CyPac: The Consequences Of My Own Actions

Looking at those maps HC posted (if everyone agrees to join) is making me feel things.

(The spirit of Marxism leaving the body when you're given the chance to paint clay)

edit: Tho to be fair, there are so many ways for this to flounder even if most of those countries do join. Internal divisions, ideological disagreements, historical issues, tyranny of the majority, etc.

We'd be generating problems as quickly as we solve them if we succed - as larger more populous countries start to exert more influence over smaller ones, etc.

I also have another idea, a anthem of our pact! many union of nations have a song like OTL EU having ode to joy.
a couple of Ideas I have include:
Which Side Are You On" — American Socialist Song
Song of the United Front- German and Spanish Socialist Song
The Red Flag" - Anthem of The British Labour Party

Mostly because there's no way to secure them against the US funnelling endless amounts of money and weapons to anyone on the islands who is willing to shoot at the government officials who are pro-CyPac and we have no forces that can contest this. I'm open to arguments for it, I just assumed that it wouldn't be very successful.
We can use that excuse about any country, not just the islands.
Also Grenada is currently communist and still part of the commonwealth. Showing that the big world powers dont actually care that much.
NZ in particular is having economic problems, with high inflation and growing unimployment. So much so that in a 84 they will go from big government, strong unions to full neoliberal. Smash the unions, shrink the government, sell everything state owned (only stopped when selling the roads was next)

Inviting NZ now will hopefully stop that, or we could wait and just buy NZ

Hmmm, it looks like the US couped Grenada in '83 on manufactured grounds, and I can't imagine this being different here. I can't really see a way of preventing it. I don't want to add a country that's going to be taken out in short order - it makes CyPac look weak during a crucial formative stage.

I don't want to invite NZ either. When picking between socialism and capitalism, soc dems have historically swerved right as hard as possible. It's just asking for trouble and I'll bet the NZ reps will be feeding intel to US intelligence before they get off the pane in Guangchou if they accept membership.

We can do a Pacific Outreach program to help with the industrialization of the pacific Islands, but we're already going to be dealing with the usually Leftist Infighting, and I don't want to make that worse by adding governments who aren't even socialist.

Me, looking at every country I need to write for:


This...may take a week or three.

You could almost call it...

That action name feels all the more appropriate then.

So let's see... we got a whole bunch of small east asian countries, ALL of north and most of east africa, 2 of the most famous Balkan countries, a good chunk of the middle east, and only 2 communist nation on the western hemisphere that if they did the slightest thing wrong, they would be annihilated by the now falling apart US. Nice!

you sure? with America looking like it's on the path to a second civil war, would CIA or FBI even be bothered to do so as they are depsatly tying to keep the fledgling nation together?

Our pal Ronnie Raygun is at the helm and he is absolutely gonna coup Grenada. This is the guy who authorized Iran-Contra. Do you think he's gonna have a sudden personality transplant? :V

Here is a foolproof 3 step plan to achieve just that:
1. Get Hero so high on catnip that he allows us to roll on the personality change.
2. Get the Cobra Chicken to roll for it.
3. Reagan becomes something vaguely approachimg a tolerable human being.
4. PROFIT
