And I am willing to bet SOMEONE. Possibly nega-me cautioning them about Russia not having their best interest at heart. And they of course don't listen, cause the Russians are fellow Communists!
"Do you think they approve of our desire for an England Resurgence? They don't even really approve of COMMUNIST CHINA!"

Read through the quest, loved it, and felt inspired to write something a little more introspective.
-------------
"Will you dance for me?" Your darling wife asked.
"Always." Was the only reply that you would ever give.
In the desert there are no instruments to play, no grand ballroom to perform, no dresses to take people's breath away. Your instruments are weapons of death, your ballroom are war-torn battlefields, your dress is a blood-splattered uniform from your last kill.
Yet you still dance. Every step a kill. Between every bullet, the future blooms in full in front of you. Rivers in the desert, a gathering of friends and allies, a world ticking ever closer to midnight. A vision of peace, of a nation acknowledged, of alliances forged in blood. Nations fall, Nations rise, and through it all you dance.
At the end of it is the silence of the grave, the mission completed, the pay retrieved as you head to your home in the desert. Until the next mission, where it all begins again, and the dance starts anew.
What kind of world would be left at the end of your final dance, you wonder?

Sorry for the lack of the update:
I uh… wanted to make sure the world didn't blow up here due to our actions.
Good news, it didnt.
Better news: we are making the world our bitch.
Bad news: it is taking a long time to write the updates.
Also after these two updates I might call it.
I don't know where to go from here.

Aw man hope not
...So we critted ourselves into world power status...
I guess we could go to space and aim to become an intergalactic nation?
Or go GATE style-ish and throw some fantasy into this?
This is truly Metal Gear. I expect the Nanomachines Senator and the magnetic self-bisection guy ranting about Memes to show up any second now.

Where's the meme...

E:
To actually contribute to the discussion, we've probably become a new Vietnam for the Commies and are the bottom position on The Meme. Since apparently the Invasion happened and we accidentally'd the entirety of it.
As for where we can go from here, probably unify Africa or something.

Li Mei, Makes a Huge Statement:
You looked at the ambassadors of the great powers of the world, all the nuclear superpowers, the Americans, the British, the Soviets, and of course, the Chinese.
You would have invited India, but you had no wish to make the Pakistani pissed off at you for their… issues and insecurities, and you had little wish to lose a potential war zone that could provide fun and profit for your mercenaries.
You had been lucky enough to call in a few favors, along with the people of Zimbabwe-Rhodesia really liking you to get a nice little negotiating location by the Falls.
"I do not believe that this issue, she is a violent war criminal, and a criminal to all our laws." The Chinese ambassador, Hung Peng was not starting things off well. Sure the Soviet Ambassador, Gregory had been hostile, but he was trying to end this mess peacefully. Mostly because, unlike his counterparts in Russia, he was… well he wished that the world would not be destroyed.
"Well your country does not dictate international law, and according to the rest of the world, all my actions were considered legal." You smiled like the other's treaded glances. "I have called you all here for a simple reason. To stop you, idiots, from invading me, and using my nation as a springboard for… well killing me and my comrades."
The American Henry Kissenger spoke. "There are few who… disagree with that statement. You are inserting yourself into hot zones all over the world, with little regard for the consequences of your actions."
Rich coming from the man who liked his finger in every pie. "My job isn't to moralize on the ethics of my mercenaries, and their actions, merely to make sure they have a safe place to live, and to make sure they get paid."
There was silence. "In twenty-four hours, there will be an invasion of the Triangle, you have become a threat to the world!" Peng stated.
So that was how it was going to go. "Very well then." You stated.
You then pulled out a radio. "Start the timer."
"On the way boss!" The voice replied.
You then put down a new digital clock, that was counting down.
"What the hell." Kissenger shouted as you calmly pulled out your pistol.
"Everyone of you shut up and listen." You then smiled as your people pulled out a Tv.
You turned it on and it showed a Chinese broadcast from yesterday.
"It appears that, despite forces of the Peoples Liberation Army fighting hard, they could not stop the political prisoners from escaping from the mountians! The fighting, which had lasted for two weeks, had sprawled into Shanghai. The twenty mercenaries freed hundreds of political prisoners and traitors to the revolution, and-"
You turned the channel to a Russian broadcast. You then turned to the subtitles.
One phrase. "All nukes nonoperational."
You then turned off the TV. "i want, full recognition from all your nations, and a guarantee that we will not be invaded."
"What you are asking is madness," Peng stated.
"Correct, but consider this." You then revealed a detonator.
You only looked to the Superpowers ambassadors that were standing before you. "Gentlemen, do you believe in a world without nukes?"
You then smiled. "Because I will say this, if you do not comply with my demands and reasonable offers, I will make sure there will be no nuclear weapons anywhere. Except exploded in your silos?"
Kissenger was the first to speak. "You are insane!"
"Not insane Ambassador Kissenger, merely driven. I and my people will never feel safe if all the nations of the world consider me a threat, and for that, I do not care. But if they decide to round up and otherwise invade my nation, that I am protecting." You fingered the detonator. "This is a detonator to signal a countdown to trigger the nuclear weapons of Russia and China. We don't know if it is all of them, but enough."
You took a breath. "And they will destroy the world in retaliation."
You then handled the detonator switch.
Do you press it, or let them try to answer?:
[]Press it: We'll meet again.
[]Wait: Let them try and rationalize with you. They will beg.
