Have you potatoes in your ears or are you just hard at hearing? The Neo Aesir will take any military action deemed necessary to ensure the safety of their great nation. Any military action against us will be an act of war, and war is something we're quite skilled at.

Edit: Huh. I didn't realize that I had surpassed you in Defense Forces at one point.

The Unified Trade States would like to remind their international partners on the insistence of their continued neutrality in regards to the small starchy vegetable popular with their people. The Trade States will welcome any delegation despite its present or past affiliation to enter their harbours and freely trade with any and all business present.

NS describes my people as compassionate, cynical AND devout. I guess we're cynics on non-holy spud related issues.

Add cheerful, and that's the NS description of the population of Colbentielle.  The citizens of Trychnos, however, are hard-nosed and cynical, apparently.

Upon further inspection, I'm noticing a few major similarities between our populaces... The people of Barbaross, Desheret-Kemia, Unified Trade States, and Laurentus Setats are all hard-nosed, hard-working and cynical. Citizens of Holy Potatoe Empire are hard-working and cynical; the Neo Aesir are hard-nosed and hard-working; Morning Goldians are hard-working. Potatoeist Science is the only one without hard-nosed, hard-working, or cynical in NS's description of its populace.

I'm going for the same strategy I did back in PvC. This time I'm just doing it a lot sooner. And it seems many have followed suit.

I wasn't willing to sacrifice Colbentielle to an RP (although it happened anyway), but Trychnos was created for this express purpose, and so I'm answering issues mostly for stats. I imagine many feel the same about their RP nations.

Meanwhile, I literally just worsened my economy for the sake of alternative energy.

I actually pick my options on the basis of what my nation would do. So I RP them with the idea that I am the government I've made up.
And for reference on what that is; I wrote the factbooks to remind me and compare with.

For example I have been picking industry over military in a few issues, and I am not just trying to straight up oppress people so in one issue I made drugs legal because I can't imagine a merchant republic banning any possible commodities. Ect.

DEATH TO THE BLASPHEMOUS UNITED TRADE STATES BOURGEOISIE!!!  LONG LIVE THE DEVOUT STARCHY PROLETARIAT! 

When you think of Latvichka, think a cross of Native Americans, and Mongols. Mongol lifestyle and religious ideals (shamanism) but with fairly primitive tools (note that I am NOT referring to modern day Native Americans, but instead referring to tools they utilized pre-American colonization). That said, they might be able to be converted, though they will still worship spirits and nature, they may be convinced to worship any god that comes to them first as well

You do realize that we're all using European technology during those colonial times, right?

At this point I just take any decision I feel is appropriate for my nation regardless of its effects. My Economy and science are so tanked anyway that it doesn't matter. And of course I have many nations loyal to the holy potato(Praise be unto it) to protect me !

Uh... Amerindians created complex civilizations throughout the Americas. On first contact, the Native Americans and the Europeans were on roughly equal footing, and it was only later that this balance of power shifted toward the whites committing genocide.

My last issue choice (which worked in rather unexpected ways) kinda shows me that maybe I should choose the issue choices that I feel fit my nation better, rather than one that kinda works but that I'm trying to pick more for the stats.

I'm sorry, roughly equal footing in relation to what? I'm going to need a citation for that one. Unless you are referring to the Norse in the 10th Century?

Also European =/= White
