*Ahem*

As a Canadian, I would like to protest that suggestion.

[Helgoland]

Alright, then let's go to the failed state of Alaska.

(They 'starved the beast', right?)

[Shrimp12345]

This entire thread has become a massive think tank for us to determine the best places to overthrow an existing government and establish our own along with the procedures involved.

[Helgoland]

"In order to determine how many people play Dwarf Fortress, we have found it necessary to invade your country. Please remain calm and surrender your weapons. We come in peace. We have superior firepower. We know no mercy."

[misko27]

No, No alaska. They make it very clear in the handbook, no arousing the wrath of the international community. And a coup in alaska would pretty much accomplish that.

[IronTomato]

I'm the only one here that I'm sure lives in the US, so I should know nobody really cares about Alaska anyway. I know that, because if they did, everybody would believe it was a state. (Seriously. I actually know a fairly handy number of people who don't, which is kinda sad.)

They make it very clear in the handbook

Darling, nobody really reads those things!

[misko27]

And that is why you wil fail.
 
Anyway, the United states will never give up Alaska due to Strategic importance. Metric Shitloads of Oil and Prime nuke-luanching and intercepting is that.
 
Perhaps, Belarus?

[GreatWyrmGold]

Don't forget Russia.
Romney didn't.

Anyways, how about...oh, some South American country?

[javierpwn]

Attack Bolivia for using US dollars as its currency!
EDIT:I am Latin American& have dark skin

[WaffleEggnog]

Attack Bolivia for using US dollars as its currency!

If we are going to attack any country, it has to be one that no one knows about, like if we invaded Greenland, and then it came on the news, people would be like "Oh no not Greenland!", but if we invaded, say, Zimbabwe, people would have no idea what we were talking about. I think Bolivia sounds good to me.

I've had the thought, why conquer a country when we can use the democratic process to make ourselves the leaders of the country?  If there is no democracy there, we go with plan B, conquer.

Like in Liberal Crime Squad? Also, that's sort of an alternate form of "conquer". I'm for your idea.

My thought is that we also need some other country to help us reach space, and conquer whatever country we need to.

I like the idea in theory, but the problem is we need to not look insane...
Let me break out that moon base speech...

[Jbg97]

I don't think a moon base is a good idea. I mean, people expect a moon base; Why shouldn't we be like BAM, Pluto base bitches. People would doubt rulers who can put a simple base on the Moon, but they wouldn't try to usurp people who put a base on goddamn PLUTO.

[Vorthon]

Because that's way outside the technological capabilities of humanity? I mean, We still haven't got a probe out there. (Yes, I'm aware of New Horizons, but it's not there yet and won't be 'til 2015.)
