Botswana + WAU
I don't see a problem with Botswana submitting an application to the WAU, as long as it maintains a minimum level of economic regulation, education, democracy and adopts the common currency. It should be ok.Oerwinde 17:57, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

East Africa/Sudan
I'm having Sudan go the way of Liberia and fragment into smaller states. What happens in each varies from state to state.

Re:CAMC
Well I don't see why not. I just have a couple of questions first, nothing big: Is the CAMC going to enter as three separate countries(Eritrea, South Sudan and Ethiopia), or is this confederation legally a single entity? If it is rather loose, like say, the Arab League OTL, then the three countries could be members, while the organization could be a regional partner of the CSTO. And finally, what would you like the relationship to be? All three countries are socialist, which certainly helps and if you want them to be full members, I have no problem with that. And since when I created the CSTO these countries weren't created, would you mind if we add them later, for example today, in real time?--Vladivostok 10:31, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

Oh right, the Foreign Affairs minister was there last week, you're right. I'll write about that on the main page right now. You can simply write in the country pages that they are members, while the CAMC is a regional partner. Leave the rest to me.--Vladivostok 10:53, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

You know, you could have told me that you planned to start a war before the CAMC joined the CSTO. Not that I would have declined their membership to the CSTO, of course. It's just that this raises the question of Siberian involvement in the conflict, if there would be any. I'm thinking probably supplying their forces and no direct involvement, seeing as the CAMC is the regional partner organization and everything. The CSTO would naturally send troops if the need arises.--Vladivostok 18:15, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry about it. It's settled then. I'll write a few sentences on the CSTO page mentioning the aid, as soon as the war becomes canon of course.--Vladivostok 18:24, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

Maudland
Hi,

Interesting work with the article. However, there are some minor things with the politics and military that I would like to comment on.


 * Why exactly are there both a Labour Party and a Social Democratic Party? As I assume the Labour Party is based on (more or less) the Norwegian one, its ideology would be Social Democracy - just like the other party. I do not believe that two parties with the same ideology would have the same amount of support (the former would "eat up" the latter).
 * Why would the Christian Democrats, which on many levels are centrists, be the major opposition party? Normally this would be the party with (at least normally) the most difference ideologically. Thus, I believe the Conservatives (Høyre?) should be the major opposition party.
 * Should I assume that the "Progressive Party" is the same as the Norwegian Progress Party? If so, I would believe it would have more support than that - far-left and far-right parties would, especially if they were similar to Norway politically, be smaller (at last a bit smaller).
 * Note that some of these question only counts if Maudland's political parties and political system is based, more or less, on Norway. If you want, I can help you out with this.
 * Why exactly would they buy FN FALs? The AG-3s (the Norwegian license version of the H&K G3) are more modern. I would assume they would either buy Diemaco C7 from Canada or HK 416s from Germany.

Keep up the great work, Realismadder 17:53, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

Somalia
Since it the country seems to have completely collapsed in this timeline pretty much as it did in the real world would I be right in thinking it's ripe for the creation of some mini-states based upon various factions in the civil war such the Rahanweyn Resistance Army and the Somali Patriotic Movement Verence71 20:15, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

The way things are going in Somalia in OTL at the moment I wouldn't be at all surprised if Somaliland and Puntland gain independence de jure as well as de facto Verence71 14:42, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

Superpowers Japan
Greetings,

Although I appreciate your offer to make a contribution to my timeline, Japan is one of the major nations in my timeline (well anything qualifying as a "nation" is really). As I have overarching plans for my timeline as a whole, I will be making any edits to it myself. However, if you wish, I will gladly create the Japan page soon and you can offer whatever suggestions, even whole written passages, that I can find a place for on the page.

The one thing I certainly don't want to discourage is suggestion and criticism, so suggest away. Keeping in mind that it is still my decision to add anything, of course =P

Your turn again!Eastward Expansion 13:40, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

Why has Brazil invaded Argentina? The two countries have done nothing to provoke one another. Fegaxeyl 06:55, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

Oh. My lack of knowledge of South American politics has cause me war. Well, I suppose there is one possible method Argentina and the Axis could resist... heh heh heh... Fegaxeyl 16:57, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

It's possible this would jeopardise Germany and the USSR's new alliance, but then if Brazil wants to be close the USSR why is it invading one of the members of the organisation it has just joined? Fegaxeyl 17:32, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

It's your turn. Destroyanator 16:14, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

Hearts of Iron
I just saw on your userpage that you play Hearts of Iron. I also play Hearts of Iron 2, 3, Doomsday - Armageddon and Arsenal of Democracy. :D Just wondering, do you have Xfire? --XterrorX 18:21, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just added you on Xfire (I'm noel333 or NFSreloaded, just check my friendslist if you want to meet more HoI/Grand Strategy gamers). And I agree with you about HoI3, despite the fact that most of my Xfire contacts prefer the game over the previous parts. The game is just terribly complicated (in comparison to the previous ones), the battles are too many with all the new army layouts/micromanagement and the thousands of provinces (10,000+ IIRC). Capturing Poland takes almost three times as long as it did in reality! D: If you ask me, Paradox Interactive failed with this third part and that's why I'm currently keeping an eye out on another new part in one of their series; Victoria 2. --XterrorX 21:39, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry. I cannot help you. The United States does not care about affairs in South America, and is more concerned about Japan. We will give you no aid. --Catherine 21:19, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

If you have time, please read Constantine's Russia. Then leave a comment on my talk page telling me how I could expand the article, with great detail. Please? --Catherine 17:21, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Tell me what would happen to the world since Russia becomes a modernized, democratic, empire. --Catherine 17:33, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

What would happen to the world. Please, pretty please, answer my question. --Catherine 17:56, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Any more advice? --Catherine 18:52, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your advice. Anyways, the United States will still not help Brazil. --Catherine 19:06, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Oh alright. We will give you three carriers and several airplanes to use. But don't threaten us again. --Catherine 19:20, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Well, please read Russian Empire (Constantine's Russia) and tell me what I could do to improve the article. --Catherine 19:24, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Please tell me where I could find a nation infobox on this wiki. --Catherine 19:34, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Article has been moved
I've taken the liberty of moving "Quing Empire (Kaiserreich)" to Qing Empire (Kaiserreich), since I assume that the first title was bad spelling and I have promised to pay extra attention to your writing. ;) --XterrorX 20:16, May 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem and I'll definitely give the Kaiserreich mod a try some time. Haven't had too many good experiences with HoI2 mods (bad install, corrupted files, reinstalling game, etc.), but I think it was my own fault most of the time. --XterrorX 20:30, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Is my article of good quality now? --Catherine 20:38, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Republic of Somalia
Just created the bares bones of the possible state I was discussing with you

Republic of Somalia

I hope it doesn't conflict with any plans you have for the area Verence71 19:07, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

columbi live in the hives with the aquifers they wouldnt die out. could you re-edit the last entry?

I will read your althistory, if you will read Russian Empire (Constantine's Russia). Thanks! --Catherine 18:06, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

The reason the Russian Empire is upgrading and tripling the size of it's military is to protect itself in the face of terrorist threats. There are rebel movements in OTL Chechnya, just like OTL, but they have been forced underground. Also, the history after World War II does have basis on the history of post-war Soviet Union, but with severe modifications to fit my timeline. Please comment on the government and politics of Russian Empire (Constantine's Russia) as well. --Catherine 18:17, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

My Comment on your Timeline

 * I have looked at your timeliene, Kaiserreich. I would love to see a expansion of the timeline, and see organization and grammar improved. And I cannot get it that Britain would lose England but gain Ireland. It makes no sense. Plus, the north of France being a Communist state, the south of France controlled by a nationalist state. And the German Empire being the domniant power. The confusion is quite difficult. You must improve the plot, reorganize your articles, improve the article on Japan (Kaiserreich) (it has bad grammar and organization), as well create a article on alternate World War I. Use some examples from history, but modify it heavily from the point after your POD. Your timeline needs a lot more work in many subjects of grammar, spelling, etc. --Catherine 19:02, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

The Queen commands the military though, and they are bound by oath to protect her. And she would use Parilament, by pushing through it her laws, appointing her cronies to the House of Lords, and in-directly influencing elections. --Catherine 21:03, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

But they say the Queen controls the military, and they pay oaths to her. --Catherine 21:51, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

ACC
Yeah, the Japanese move into creating a Chile puppet state is kind of extreme. In my next move, I was going to either get the League of Nations to do something, but since it will not (duh!) I'm going to step up and try to restore the status quo in South America, as the situation there is threatening to become a proxy war between Nazi Germany and Japan on one side and the US on the other. I'm trying not to get involved, and trying to remain impartial, but if either side escalates the situation, I will dispatch forces for a peacekeeping operation. I do not, repeat, do NOT want to expand Communism forcefully, but by peaceful methods; that's one of the unmentioned reasons to disband the Comintern. In return for this, will you accept some nations coming into the Soviet Sphere of Influence, such as Brazil (possibly in anger for the Nazi supported Argentine Invasion)? If not, that's OK as well. Tbguy1992 04:11, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

Rhineland
Well, my concerns do need to be corrected, first of all. But thats besides the point. Honestly, I doubt that the state would be that size in the first place - there's a fair region in the northern state that would likely have been rendered uninhabitable - think new york-like - due to the amount of major industrial cities. It'd only be just beginning to expand into the areas. Truthfully, in my opinion anything west of Dortmund - which lies just west of Waldeck - is not habitable.

In fact, other than a few rumors of surviving cities in the southern Rhineland in Waldeck and the reverse in the Rhineland, there'd likely be no contact, making communication or cooperation like that impossible.

On another note, you should make the rebel headquarters in western North-Rhine Westphalia, possibly in the city of Aachen. To contain the whole territory on the map there is also impossible, realistically - use the smaller map in the renegade army section instead.

Lordganon 09:24, June 22, 2010

Thing is, the only spot where there would be some sort of land connection would be around the city of Frankfurt - which due to its overall importance was pasted with nukes. Other than that, you have the nuclear wasteland west of Dortmund, which holds the same problems.

Like I've written in the article, Waldeck is doing whatever possible to avoid contact with other powers, for fear of some provisional German government - republicans of some sort - or a strong aggressive one - like rumors of Northeim. I doubt much else besides rumors would exist. Have a look at the map I made for further details.

2010 Socialist International Conference (1983 Doomsday)
Well, sure, what did you have in mind?--Vladivostok 20:24, June 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, that sounds great. How do you want to go about this? Which interviews would you like me to do? Those regarding the USSR or something like that?--Vladivostok 20:34, June 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, so, are you going to create a page specifically for the conference, or will it be on the Newshour updates? And which direction would you like the conference to take?--Vladivostok 20:53, June 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'm loving the direction Vegas. As soon as you create the page, we will definately continue our discussion there. However, I don't think I'm up to doing anything right now, other than to discuss what we are to write tomorrow. It's kind of late here, so I don't have my thinking cap on right now.--Vladivostok 21:14, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

I wonder if the Somali Revolutionary Socialist Party which is still the governing party of the Republic of Somalia could be a member party of the International?? Verence71 15:36, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Hey Vegas, we are currently having a dispute over the status of the British Empire on the Wasteland Europe page. Since you are British, and have more knowledge on your homeland than us Americans, could you help us out? Arstarpool 20:09, June 30, 2010 (UTC)
