I assume that potatoes are already a nuclear super-power in this world...

Nonsense! Everyone knows that the Tomatoes are the only ones to have nukes!

Spoiler: A flag, a flag. (click to show/hide)

The surrounding green represents our lush, fertile lands. The swords are our honorable military, fighting hard to protect us, our lands, and our wheaty way of life. Central to everything we hold dear is wheat, which grows in endless golden fields.

(We had some trouble getting golden dyes.)

That would be Irish, right? .. A grim thought indeed, the Irish as the world's sole nuclear power.

Bump?

[Aseaheru]

 Not really the place to bump, as the idea was that everything is in the individual threads. Which is the main issue for lurkers who may want to join, its know what is going on and become interested in joining or actually being able to join without fear of bringing unfair advantage.

[evilcherry]

The Republic need a few fresh blood.

Yea too much HoI4 and WoT these days. Need to get back to this...

[H4zardZ1]

Imma join?

[Stirk]

Just choose a side.

He said the Republic needs more guys ^.

As of the flag competition, may I quote:

Nobody mention that they're using European heraldry to represent their China-themed nation, or that their flag doesn't look much like it represents them.

I'm sorry Empire, but I share a similar sentiment with Nirur. That's why I call for explanations, and Empire can't even give me any reason to reconsider my position. Manonera Republic gains the revise credit.

New Rules:

- Gunpowder and propellant are no longer free. You may notice that some weapons now uses oil, even though the closest thing to oil in gunpowder is glycerin. Oil stands for chemicals in this game, and the production of nitrated compounds should be energy intensive, too.
- To discourage people from making bleeding edge designs, big rolls for these weapons will turn them into wunderwaffe - awesome but impractical. For example:
You design a BAR in the year 1913. You roll something like 6 out of 6. The end result will properly be an inch-caliber machine gun - not autocannon, which proves deadly to men and materiel alike, but is impossible to keep in alignment for any amount of time, and it will break bones if fired while being carried.

I didn't know we where allowed to badmouth each other's flag .

 Well, Sulfuric acid is used to do a great many things with metals(along with paint, enamels, plastics, lubricants, nylon and explosives), and the main source of sulfur is oil processing. In addition, a number of smokeless propellants (chief among them Cordite) utilize petroleum jelly.

Republic, then?

 Question, why use the BAR as an example of near useless wunderwaffle when there where BAR like things for years before? By which I mean light, single man automatic weapons in rifle caliber.
 It would be better to use something like the Mondragon rifle as an example, bleeding edge and with many, many issues that while acceptable in the hands of civilians meant it wasent all that good in the hands of a military, and took about... what, 33 years until most of them where understood enough for the M1 Garand to be so good at what it did. Or, even while sticking with the providence of automatic rifles, the Cei-Rigotti, developed in 1900 and with somany issues that no military ever used it, or the Fedorov Avtomat, which had many of the same problems as the Cei-Rigotti.

Whatever. I mean, the uber-sized machine gun was just an example of what kind of wunderwaffe you will expect. This is to deter people from pushing at the edge of current technology, but at the same time allows some kind of risk-taking, instead of the obligatory failures.
