  • [X]plan: the new old order
    -[X] An M41 Walker Bulldog, a slightly cheaper copy from the original Cadillac design, imported over under the old regime. Once a symbol of oppression under the old guard, it is now a symbol of freedom under the new guard! (Would set the game in the early to mid-1950s)
    -[X] Ma'am!"
    -[X] An Indigenous person staring back. Somehow, your lineage survived the colonization and enslavement of your people. Now, you're here, the face of a defiant people who chose dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery. Your eyes are worn and tired from the fighting, and you look ten years older than you were a year ago, but nonetheless, you're here, and still kicking.
    -[X] German. In the late 19th century, during the scramble for Africa, Germany established a colonial presence on the island. It became a strategic naval base and a center for German colonial administration in the region. Despite being taken over by the Portuguese in the aftermath of WW1, German is still the spoken language of most. (Will officially make the island's default language German and name the island 'Whilhelminsel', after Kaiser Wilhelm II.)
    -[X] 1.) talk about our indigenous origin and that it is a symbol of a new regime of our country
    [X]Plan: Grenadian Experience
    - [X] An AMX-40, specifically an even cheaper copy than the original, shoddily built under the original regime. Once a symbol of oppression under the old guard, it is now a symbol of freedom under the new guard! (Would set the game in the early to mid-1980s)
    - [X] Sir!"
    - [X] A black person staring back. It makes sense, you are born from one of the tribes taken here as slaves under your former colonial masters (or, perhaps, willingly, depending on your specific lineage). Your eyes are worn and tired from the fighting, and you look ten years older than you were a year ago, but nonetheless, you're here, and still kicking.
    - [X] Spanish. In the late 15th century, Spanish explorers discovered the island and claimed it for the Spanish Crown. The island became a vital stopover for Spanish ships navigating the treacherous waters of the African coast. The influence of Spanish culture and language remains strong, and it is still the official language. (Will officially make the island's default language Spanish and name the island 'Isla de Reyes', after the Kings who funded the explorers.)
