I've been having Jean Pierre on cleaning duty. Its changed since, however, if the amokolians are interested i can keep one of the bloody guillotines out - ill just test it with Babs.And the Conciergerie isn't that bad. It needs a little redecorating I think but when I became its prisoner, it was amusing.
I love this trash-talking.

You know, I think we've gone way beyond this. The fact we can stand up, virtually alone, against most of the "old" superpowers of Micras (Riponia is definitely a superpower, but not an old one, they're too nice for that), and assorted others, and still have a reasonable chance at victory shows we're a superpower already. Seriously - no offence to our allies, but apart from 2/3 orbats, it's virtually all full Gralan citizens. I don't think many, or any, other nations on micras could do that. Could (insert your micronation name here) stand alone (+ 2/3 orbats) against the rest of Micras, with just your full citizens competing? NB is the only one that could have some chance, though a quick scan of their orbats show plenty of foreign citizens there too - all the Gralan ones have Gralus as their primary, or only, micronation.dr-spangle wrote:Andreas, you are the ones claiming you're the new superpowers proove you're the new superpowers
No, this war is not about proving we're a superpower. If we win this war, it proves we are the superpower. The one superpower able to stand against the rest of Micras combined. Really, we have little to lose from this, and everything to gain. It's the other side that has a lot to lose. As a wise man once said (and 10 points for placing this quote) "Never promise to do the possible. Anyone could do the possible. You should promise to do the impossible, because sometimes the impossible was possible, if you could find the right way, and at least you could often extend the limits of the possible. And if you failed, well, it had been impossible."
Never mind my backstory reason for the war - enough "new" nations have joined NB to dispel that. Though, if Riponia were to join with us, it would be newer nations vs old order, and very true to NAM principles (we'd love to have you, Iehova), but if they stay neutral, then it's MI vs Micras, and if MI win ... well, it's probably an equivalent shakeup to the GSO founding ...

Oh, believe me, people here are perfectly good at going off topic ...
But they'll probably go back on to comment on my speech ...
