I always thought we could first conquer a backwards african country, then start selling drugs and stuff while exploiting the locals.

Pros: Realistic, only needs weapons and plane tickets.
Cons: Those natives have guns too. And the UN will be angry with us, but even Assad doesn't care about that.

We could get some agents in the UN, have them booze up all of the other UN so they never judge us.

Better idea: Conquer some country ruled by horrible dictators that the US hates, then run it well. We'll get plenty of wealth and positive PR.

Perfect!

Wait, someone agrees with me?

It's a good idea. Gives us more time to truly decide what we're gonna do to Earth, as they'll like us.

Hoooray, slightly more realism!
So what country do we pick? I'd say someplace in the Congo - massacres there don't even get into the western news, much less on the front page.

What about Somalia?  It is total anarchy there, and if we establish an agreeable government that curbs the pirates in the area, we would be on good standing with the west.

Somalia was recently invaded by the african union, so no.

And of course, we would probably need a smaller country.  Rowanda?  Uganda?  Congo (not democratic republic)?

How about a small part of the DR Congo? Somewhere in the interior, with access to a major river for easy transport.

Well, how would we get there? Aren't most Bay12ers in the States?
Does anyone even speak the language they speak there, or know what it is without looking it up?

Valid point, but there are many overseas, but none near that area.  We need to find the greatest concentration before we make these plans.

So...who lives near or in an unstable country? And don't say, "Me! The US is kinda shaky right now!", you're not being funny.

Could liberate the island of Guadalupe north of Venezuela from the French.

That could be close enough, if we had some boats or something.

We could build some using fiberglass and wood.  Some of the boats at D-day were wood!

Or we could just buy some.

Keep the pyramid going!

Brilliant idea!
I would suggest a visit to the British Army disposal yard. I think it's in Lancashire.

Armoured cars, minesweepers, APCs, tanks, they even have aircraft!
No boats though.

And there is the problem of getting all of the stuff to the US to invade a French island.

I live in England, and some others probably do too.
We could meet up in wherever we choose to take over.

Alright, can you figure out some way to get that useful stuff to wherever we're taking over? Unless we want to take over Ireland or something.

Too large of an area to control easily, and there are multiple disputes on that island.

Precisely why that potential trove of stolen weaponry is less than useless unless we can get it to Guadalupe or something.

Well, it looks like logistics is dead already. So far no lower-end intervention, but we're being pushed down quickly. We bed to fight to keep this thing alive! Now, as for our military, all me need to do is get 1000-10000 people together willing to fight (possibly with the help of a partner), then just go town to town conscripting people, and staying out of the way of the bulk of the military as best we can. Once we have a bunch of people, well, worry about that then

I bet you could find all the people you need up here in Maine.

Also, I was trying to think of the ultimate plan once we get to our planet, it would cover government structure, weapons design and everything. But I eventually gave up. Here it is as finished as it will ever get:

10,000 people is, like, the most optimistic assumption as to what our colony will contain.

You know, I could help with that. Donate some saliva. Create unstoppable lupine army, all that jazz.

Cuba is too civilized to invade .

Do you have a better idea?

Too much press, no evil dictator.

I live in Belgium, and they speak French in Congo, so thats fine with me.

To be fair, they might not be too happy to see you. The Belgium Colonization of Congo was not a good time.

Speaking of which, take over Belgium. Good R&D industry, central location, and it's not like the governement is capable of intervening on a short notice. Better use a "legal" coup rather than a military one.

[misko27]

You guys are looking at this wrong. It is too much to get guns and try to defeat a entire countries military. It would be alot easier to stage a coup de`etat instead. Kill major government officials, take over, a voila! It worked for those guys in mali, so why not do it ourselves?

The most stylish way to take over a country.
Hell Yes.

Also: we need to choose a country with at least some useful resources.
When we take over a country, if we have good PR, we could take out a national debt.
I also suggest designing and building DORA MkII, as a long-term side project.

Sounds good, especially the "do things legally" part.

How would we fix national debt while working on our projects, or at all, and what is a DORA Mk II?
