Nevertheless, the MQE has seriously considered the position of the Royal Council and would not tolerate their demise compared to other factions. The MQE views both the Royal Council and the Democratic Nationalist Government as 'the remaining contenders for geopolitical balance.'

The MQE is willing to offer viable military strategy information from the GEOFS, including satellite pictures, if they are willing to cooperate.

The issue is mending the relations between them. The Royal Council sees the Democratic Nationalists as traitors and a "threat to national stability and Dushkari values". Some reformist elements of the Royal Council have been actively trying to establish relations with the Democratic Nationalist Government but have oftentimes been shut down by other elements of the Royal Council.

It do be like that...

In reality, however, the MQE was tactfully enhancing the military and political capabilities of both the Royal Council and the Democratic Nationalists, aiming to outmatch other factions. It didn't really matter if the two factions hated each other; as long as they could empower themselves against other questionable factions, either of them winning against each other would still be ideal and preferred. Kinda like how the USSR views the Kuomintang and the CCP, in the Chinese Civil War.

Essentially, So essentially, you were allowing both sides to have an upper hand, and once they proved themselves stronger, you would choose which side to support, favoring the one with more geopolitical advantages. How malicious...

I didn't say that :P

I can see multiple drawbacks from that approach of yours, but still it is indeed an effective plan the way you put it... Yet, it's one of the reason why the main Poschomenian roleplay became fun. Conflicts create fun (Story writing 101).

So what I can gather from this is that I made the roleplay interesting. Is my statement correct, or am I just confused about this?

You definitely made the roleplay interesting. I might have not done a good job clarifying that.

Okay, this made me genuinely happy. I have been afraid of what I write because I genuinely like what you all write and do, and then I come in here with my sci-fi shenanigans.

Hmmm, now I'm genuinely confused about what the Okanoyama Pact should do about the whole Dushkarian conflict... with Mercene aiding the Red Tide, even though the Red Tide has some rather questionable ideological stance that would alienate our foreign policies, and the Cerebrus Consortium... the idea of having an ally with corporate power would seem to be a potential issue for political ethics...

Since they see you as a potential ally and want to align themselves with them, you could try to convince them.

The Red Tide too?

The Red Tide sees you as an enemy of the revolution.

Right, If the Cerebrus Consortium doesn't mind regulating their corporate practices under Okanoyama Pact regulations, then I suppose convincing them wouldn't hurt...

Edit: Come to think of it, I highly doubt Mercene would like the idea of upsetting the Okanoyama Pact, considering that their economy is already influenced by our alliance. Even their space agency greatly benefits from having international satellite access. I can easily persuade them to abandon Red Tide...

I was honestly wondering what was Mercene doing, but if that was the case... then that was a huge blunder for Mercene.

Not to mention, we've done urban collaboration, as we were secretly planning to build a large undersea internet cable for our island nations. So, I can attest that Mercene would get no benefits if the Red Tide won.

bruh, all I want is having a socialist friend, since I'm really lonely in this region, albeit ideologically only...

bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

It's fine. Even if the Red Tide wins, there is a chance it will become a black market empire.

Still doesn't make it any better, but thank you

I like to think that Mercene decides to support the Red Tide, a faction in Dushkaria, because they're communist, not realizing that the Red Tide are also enemies of Mercene's friends and allies.

Except its true...

Ah, I can feel the tensions rise. I can't wait to wrap things up and start the Summer war.
