We're thinking of first peacefully invading and exploiting some insignificant part of Africa to raise funds.

Also I think the motto of the military should be the german ''Und was nicht passt, wird passend gemacht.''
(What does not fit will be made to fit. Usually in a context that involves potentially applying force, of course.)

''In scientia insanitas'' will be the motto of ETHICAL.

I think we're going to invade the DRC. Not entirely sure.

So, To clear that up, I would like that the military command present the operation, and the plans behind it. This Operation should aim to get us in control of a sizable amount of territory, if not the government itself. This is essentially Order Of Battle, i.e. who do we attack, with how many, where, with what, what d we do then, etc. Note there is a prize for best project. Points are recieved for:

-Line Graphs, not sure why, just do it.
-Level of Detail, how far in you go, the better.
-Organization, I don't want to spend 5 minutes looking for whatever.
-Helpful images, including enemy sites, and other graphics. Like Maps with legends. AND FLOW CHARTS!
-Adaptability. I don't want to die because someone didn't check the forecast and the plan needed sun. Includes backup plans
-Probability of Success.
-Number of Casualties. I Don't tink we can mount a space program, or even consolidate our postion, if half of everyone is dead.

If the modding gets finished, we could create an arena map with the location we are trying to make our strike, and test the plans in Dwarf Fortress.  Graphs would measure success rate (out of 1000) casualties, etc.

You get 10 points just for suggesting that. Seriously, thats brilliant, someone go make that. However, 10 points is not enough to win you the prize.

Where is everyone at, though?

Anyway, the motto (in Icelandic) for 'the enforcers' (better name pending):
Réttlętiš        Frelsi         Heišur
 Justice       Freedom       Honor

So how exactly is this whole thing working?
Because there's multiple potential strike locations we could pick. Different locations could have different advantages/disadvantages and things like that. To the point where different plans would be incomparable, having to be so different.

Let's start by figuring out what resources we have, what resources we need, and if we can use the former to get the latter. Then we can plan an invasion.

I guess our resources are mostly money and skills - what do you do, and how much money do you make, everyone?

This may be true, But yu can only spend it on candian things, so it is therefore less valuable. Do you read this just to troll peroidically?

I'm slightly disappointed in the lack of billionaraires here. What about you Goomba? Or are you afraid to say?
