However anyone might not like it, we rely very much on Diana, Franco, and Aqua, since the original NCSA three (?) iterations ago. Also, we don't have much of an OOC social medium that everyone can access unlike our old AJAX chat, and I do think that has an impact.

But anyway, the aforementioned are people who will do a lot if they're interested and not irritated, even to the point of "carrying" the region, but otherwise just stay away, IME.

Regardless, we need an active cartographer before any moves can be made, just to add the pragmatic part of things. I love Diana but she seems pretty thoroughly absent for whatever reason.

Go here to find it and lol: http://playback.fm/birthday-song

Mine is ... yeah, this:

3/10 -- Filthy Bolshevists, but at least they aren't too soft, and their climate and environment reminds us a little of the sacred Aryan Nordland.

National (State) Animal: The Eastern Imperial Eagle, or Adler (Reichsadler as the the national symbol of the Reich), introduced from Europe



National (State) Plant: Edelweiss, likewise introduced from Europe; only grows at the highest elevations in the Blue Mountains, and is often pinned to the breast of soldiers' uniforms as a symbol of pride for having scaled the highest peaks to personally pick it

Reichsführerin-SS Habich stormed into the room in a rush, breathing heavily, an even more winded secretary, also in Reich SS uniform, at her side, and took a seat at the table with a cursory and almost-dismissive apology to the room in general. "Your pardons; other business delayed me."

The secretary, a young man of surprisingly timid demeanor, opened a briefcase and laid neat stacks of briefing papers before her, which she ignored for the moment, pausing only to take off her Reichsadler-adorned black cap and hastily brush back her golden locks.

"If I may interject:" She didn't pause for a response. "The Reich is certainly committed to infrastructure improvements, and would like to expand our railway construction project with Turkducken and Columbia to other States, with equal cooperation, until a full and integrated NCSA railway system is up and running, if you are all agreeable to this proposal ..."

She cleared her throat primly before going on: "However, the fact that I need mention Columbia is an indication that we can't ignore present conflicts, even if speaking of infrastructure makes us feel warmer and fuzzier inside." The Reichsführerin gave a mildly disgusted look aside at nothing in particular. "Columbia's status is unclear. It remains organized, but has seceded, rendering it in effect a foreign nation, and the aggressive intervention of Die Erworbenen Namen has made it quite difficult for my former colleague, Defense Secretary Ramseur, to take action. I think it is necessary that the intent of each State with regards to Columbia, and the armed conflict, be made clear."

She finally addressed the papers spread before her and brought out a file. "For ourselves, the Reich has established a peace treaty, non-aggression, and mutual defense pact with that former State, which legally still stands, since its terms do not rest upon NCSA union. How we are to take the aggression of our esteemed fellow Confederates;" the last dripped with sarcasm; "is unclear, but we are not pleased."

I'd guess the power required to charge that makes it impractical (w/ modern tech) for body armor, though, unless everyone is carrying around car batteries or something .

Ha, the Reich only exchanges land for the iron price . But yes welcome Dreobaca!
