I meant create a national debt. Every country has one, and we may even be able to pay it back in the long run.
DORA was the biggest BFG ever created. Made in WWII by the Germans, it cost 7 million reichsmarks, and was the second out of only two created. The company, out of policy, didn't charge for the first one.
It was a railway gun, over 100m long, and took a week to set up.
It fired shells that were over five metres long.
If we modify the design a bit, it may even reach the outer atmosphere.
It was so big it was actually an entire battalion.

Sunds like something that needs to be made, when we have a lab. Right now the military is a single person. In fact, lets look over the current military budget:

-------------++MADPLANS MONTHLY REPORT : AUGUST 2012++-------------
Date: Monday 3d September
Training: 0 out of 0 recruits have passed to fight normally. That's 100%!
Size of army: 1. (me)
Weapons Development: 0 weapons have been developed.
Super weapons Development: A lot of super weapons have been developed : asteroid nukes, brainfreez, etc.
Casualties: 0 soldiers (0%)
Military actions: 1: attempted backstabbing of king DZA by brainfreez. Victor: DZA.
Medals awarded: 0.
Kills: 0 infantry, 0 armour, 0 airborne, 0 navel, 0 space.
Military expenditure: $0.
Land gained: 0km²
Land lost: 0km²
Net gain: 0km²

NOTES: we would lose a war against Sealand. More expenditure required.
-------------++END REPORT++-------------

Any advice for next report?

This is relevantto the fact that we are attempting to take over a country. Before we take over a country, investment in th emilitary sector is required. This ties back to the fact we need money to get anything done, including making money. So, The real question is, where to get this seed money? There is still kickstarter, but what other options do we have?

EDIT: Also, If we set up a company, where would we put the address? I plan on makinga interview cntract for those who want to work for us, so I want some specifics.

Maybe if we put it on Luna. A landside gun that size would just be a big target for air forces.

[misko27]

Ignoring me, are you? where are you guys? I demand a report.

Now, I'm about to put somethin up on kickstarter. I have no bank account, so wo wants to be the trustworthy individual who is the treasurer?

We could simply take over a country with the assasination method and unify the army of the country we take over and our own army.

Good idea. A bunch of 'probably overweight Internet nerds' can kill a tyrannical dictator and his cadre of bodyguards unarmed, with no combat training.

I've already suggested some means of making money, a few pages back.

As for the DORA of WWII, it had an entire flak battalion to protect it from such incidents. By the time we have the technology to build one (on lunar), we will have functioning AA defenses.

Right. Theres a cost-benefit ratio here. The richer and more powerful the country, the harder it is to take over.

Yes, money is important. Someone get on that.

We want a country with an 'evil' dictator to dispose of (for PR) and that no-one really cares about.
Bonus if there is already a rebellion to side with / please

[miauw62]

But that means taking over the rebels first.

[TopHat]

But that means taking over the rebels first.

No. We kill dictator, make rebels happy, and offer them government positions / representatives.
They will probably have an idea of what the people want.
The rebels aren't needed, but will provide a decent, armed, support base.
EDIT: any ideas for the country?

Brill. The next step is to find out which ones the world at large would me more likely to ignore / not care about.
Also look at dictators that are unpopular. Tyrannical preferably. also hopefully without much paranoia / big bodyguard squad.
Finally, natural resources. We don't want to win a country only to find that we've just taken over 5 square miles of barren wasteland.
The CIA website may be useful for some of these.

As to combat training, I can handle a rifle but that's it.
A DORA might be good to make later on, but not for a while.

This sound acceptable, but we need to actually listen to them.

[misko27]

No cuba. After the 400+ assasination attempts by the cia, I doubt he or his brother are touchable.

Iran has the supreme leader, the council of 10, and then the president. Each of these people are heavily guarded.

North korea is crazy. No.

How about we weed out bad ones, then vote on what remains.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Now, now, I notice one flaw in the CIA's assassination attempts. They were faliable. Seriously, exploding cigars? What we need is a special tops team of miners, masons, and mechanics to make a magma pump stack up to the Cuban capital and leave a lever inside which floods the dictator's bedroom with magma.
