built my first weapon factory

[Aseaheru]

I have my factories up and running, with lotsa faces running about.

[Remuthra]

I have my factories working, and am currently spending all my money cranking out Presidentes.

[Criptfeind]

How do you change your Political System?

[Aseaheru]

Domestic actions. Elections go to democratic, and martial law the other?

[Criptfeind]

So it's like a spectrum? Does anyone know the order?

[PanH]

      -Dear Leader-Dictatorship
      -Generalissimo-Military Junta
      -Premier-One Party Rule
      -President-Authoritarian Democracy
      -President-Liberal Democracy

[GreatJustice]

I started as a One Party Ruled country, used martial law to hit dictatorship, and then used a democratic election to hit junta, gaining a cool 7k troops in the process.

Besides that, I'd say the AU is very much a paper tiger. Lots of inactive or partially active members, quite disorganized compared to us. They've been around a lot longer, though, and are thus still capable of mopping the floor with us in a straight up fight right now.

Cannot wait for my first awesome junta event. I am unable to use martial law but ah well.

It is making for an interesting situation in Africa. SAP is probably going to become crazy powerful if the goons continue dumping huge amounts of aid, but they don't seem like the war mongering type. I wouldn't be surprised if the AU fractured in the near future, and who knows what would come of that... probably a bunch of smaller nations joining SAP, and the remaining active ones starting a new alliance. Maybe jenkins can pull it all together without purging members, but I kind of doubt it.

To my knowledge, SAP isn't being funded by the goons. NOFAP is a small split of one of the other Facepunch alliances because they wanted an exclusively western alliance. They're small, but damn do they have a hell of a lot of cash. NOFAP offered some cash to the fledgling SAP alliance, and they seemed to like all of that cash VERY much. I doubt SAP is going to get super big, as the current contender for any African nation is the AU. They except pretty much anyone, and you don't even have to do anything to be in it. It pretty much just serves as a safe haven and guarantee of not getting attacked, just due to being affiliated with the name. I foresee SAP getting big due to the aid money NOFAP is no doubt constantly sending, but it'll just lead to a relatively small alliance with a lot of cash (Like NOFAP.) The African Legion is sort of involved in this, but they're not politically active. They have similar goals and beliefs, but I doubt NOFAP is going to let them in on the treatment SAP is getting. It could happen, and if it does they'd be a formidable force to deal with since they're so strictly into their western ideology.

I hope some kind of new, African Communist alliance springs up besides us. It's unlikely, but if it does happen we could use them as a proxy and pretty much just lure them to our side with the promise of equality and cold, hard cash.

[Taricus]

We COULD appeal to IFAP for aid, or comintern. But either of them parting with it is likely not going to happen.

I have a couple of ideas though, but those are best said either through PM or IRC.

[Bdthemag]

I want us to stay strictly independent, not relying on any other alliance for aid. I don't want to be one of the many alliances that just attach themselves to the biggest, nearby power and sit by doing whatever the bigger alliance says. Defensive pacts are fine, but any kind of deal where we rely on another alliance is not going to happen.

[Taricus]

I have one idea that keeps us out of the hands of any other alliances. Means we will form a coalition though...

[Bdthemag]

Send me a PM then.
