You seek for the world to see that there is nothing stronger in the world than Love! (-3 to international Relations. Unique Actions unlocked. Tourism set to Meh.

So, When an American, Russian, and a Brit walk into the Desert. It sounds like the start of a bad joke, but you are concerned.

However, they do not seem interested in you, and knowing your luck, it's because something else has caught their attention. Control set to 50.

You really did not see the point in setting up an agricultural place in the Desert. But the Oasis is something special. It gives life, just as much as it gives hope. (Can Set Comercial Agriculture. +2 to international relations)
Remember guys that what we don't chose for the boom will be randomized for our other 3 neighboring micronations, so i was thinking if we choose all the Food Boom they will have to really on us in the beginning for food, or try to make a deal with the Powerfull Nations that is around and get suck dry of their Resources for food and water

Guangchou Intelligence Report Li Mia, and the Middle-east Micronation Situation
Guangchou Intelligence Report
Li Mia, and the Middle-east Micronation Situation
Daughter of Peng Ru and Sun Mia. With very notable command skills and fighting capability, she would have been a godsend of the military had Peng Ru scared her away. She has yet to pay for the fines from her actions, but considering her skills shown during her operating as a mercenary, like during the Chinese civil war, shows her to be a potentially useful ally. She would probably have been picked up by the blasted CIA sexuality be *blipped*, had she not gone to found her own micronation. Though of course we will need to wait and see what direction she wants to take her micronation, and how she is going to handle the others whom got the same idea. Especially since Russia, Britain, AND the USA has decided to try and back a micronation each in the area, ensuring the cold war is going to be felt there, even if just through the backers.
Britain is backing a socialite whom seems interested in trying to maintain what is left of the British empire by going on this crazy escapade, going on the escapade. Though we have heard rumors part of the expedition might be linked to her being born out of wedlock to some foreigner.
Russia is backing someone we have heard little about. Whom seems to have decided that it was better to try and found his own micronation, but reguardless, Russia is looking to support the venture to spread the revolution
The US is backing some rich scion that chose to ditch trying to run a company and deciding to go all the way to the middle-east to try and spread freedom and democracy by founding his micronation. Interestingly, he seems to have been born out of wedlock too, and seems to have expressed an unusual amount of interest in the other micronation leaders.
A/N: Tried to do something here. Some of this certainly depends on the vote. And also, put in the out of wedlock bits, cause well... It would be interesting, especially with the tall tales of Peng Ru, meaning they may or may not be related.

Due to the fact the vote has just open, it is not cannon and may never be canon. I shall chalk this up to unreliable intelligence from Guangchou, and its assets.

You believe that, as Dictator of your nation, you have a right, nay a duty to your subjects to serve their interests, just as they serve your own interests. And if that means you have to put on a show for the cameras and faux democracy while you rule, then so be it.

It may not be the age where Metal was the most powerful currency in the world, but Gold is something all nations desire, especially ones who want to shake up the control of the American Dollar. Or at least want to diversify its assets. (Mining industry can be developed +2 to international relations)
We've already got some traits locked in, and I think that changes a lot about what is optimal here. Most notably, we have both [Child of Guangchou] and [Brilliant] that trigger on crits. Since crits are calculated after bonuses we want to stack our bonuses to the ceiling. [Child of Guangchou] gives us a -10 to social roles, so there's no sense trying to stack Social to get crits, which leaves only [Socialist] and [Capitalist]. I prefer Socialism of the two, RND seems more interesting than raw economics, and not having our home country gunning for us is nice too.
[3 Young Men, in a Russian Truck] gives us access to more resources owned by nations that are closer to even footing with us that we might actually be able to compete with with our Military bonus from [Legendary Soldier!]
[Large Underground Water Reserves] give us the ability to sustain a populace even if everything goes to hell (one of the downsides of our build being largely crit bonuses is that we might just have a bad string of dice at the start) and [Gold and Other Precious Metals] gives us a needed economic starter without pissing off the world.
An important note about the Geological Boons is that the enemy micronations are each going to get 2 of them, so leaving the negative International Relations ones on the table means that it's less likely for an enemy micronation to have a great deal of international legitimacy off the start, which might otherwise cause us some grief.
Lastly, for people who wish to stay on other builds: seriously we are spec'd so hard into getting crits, please consider taking one of the two political ideologies that synergize with that (by way of a roll bonus to something we don't actively suck at), if nothing else.

Good news:
Your Reputation within the World of Mercenaries has exploded to the point to even greater than legendary heights for defying the PRC and helping the Tibetans. The CIA, KGB and every foreign intelligence service have made you their number 1 priority to recruit for their operations, and are willing to pay top dollar to bring you in.
You have greater freedom in doing... Special operations work within Africa (big bonuses and even a random chance to stop entire wars just by showing up)
Bad news:
Everyone thinks you are dead. Well, problem is, there are dozens of people who are claiming to be you and coasting off your reputation.
Meaning that people won't believe you are... who you are.
Meaning you will need to roll for people to believe who you are.

Am I seeing "mandatory social rolls"?
These omake bonuses are kind of dooming us

Seems OK, though I was thinking of correcting the social malus. I guess leaning into critting everything else works too.

No, it's not a social roll, I'm not fucking you over that hard. I would have said it was a social roll.
It's a military roll. Because you are a legendary soldier and people expect a legendary soldier!
Not a talker, a soldier!

CIA Intel Report Li Mia
CIA Intel Report
Li Mia
A very curious woman, and perhaps someone we can learn some of the secrets of Guangchou from. While much like most f her home nation, she is gay, she also shows a very keen eye for combat, tactics, and strategy. By all rights we would have contacted her to assist in our fight against communism after the feats during the Chinese Civil war. It really says something that she managed to get the Chinese communists to send a very significant portion of their airforce after a single woman. The only problem is, we have lost track of her, and we got MANY mercs trying to exploit her reputation, with others dead, and then there is the one whom is trying to found her own micronation. Which is only made worse by pretty much everyone including the Russians looking for the real deal amongst the chaff.Li Mia
That kid that seems to be entertaining the idea of moving to the middle-east may be worth encouraging. Since while we haven't been able to confirm it, we may be able to do so if given a way to more easily interact diplomatically without the issues formally recognizing whatever the resulting micronation is might cause. And it she is the real deal, it will be worth it to keep an eye on them, to see if her skills may branch into other areas, like weapon designs.
A/N: Well. We are certainly a significant player now.

Well. you found a bunker full or never been used FN-FALs. 5 million rounds of ammo, and enough explosives to level a city.

[X] Plan: Self-Sufficiency
I will find it funny, if one of our neighbors get both the oil and the rare earth metals. Because then we'll have one neighbor with -5 international relations. (which if thats not someone invading them, I'm pretty sure that would let us invade them without issue, If we can get some relations to offset others trying to invade us for resources, But I'm not super worried about invasion because we are specced for military so I imagince we can handle small skermishies, as long as they dont just send a wall of men at us).
and the other neighbor would have +5 relations.
So theres a chance for it to be:
International relations:
Country A) 5
Us) 3
Country B) -5
which, honestly with this plan I could see russia or america(whichever it is that didnt get it) , Supporting us in conquering country B, Just so the other side doesnt get all those resources.
Country A Would Be hard to invade in this scenario but at the same time the only geological boon they will have in this scenario is the Oasis, since they gave the egyption the other one for 3 International relations. so I dont really think it would be worth invading them unless they mess up somehow and get low on international relations, since the main beift of taking it would be the oasis, and more land. and the oasis would probably end up being the natural tourist place in our country.
