The Saridan mission has already turned into a proxy conflict. I say we keep moving with it. After Saridan, there's Deltaria, Likatonia, and Malivia in the same vein. The real countries will make for better stories than the colonies anyway.

Sorry, I would like ask some clearification: what do you mean with "proxy conflict"?

It means that the conflict is being presented as a war against slavery but in reality it's turning out to be a conflict over who gets to dictate international norms: Esinsundu Empire+Istalia+Kalistan (let's call it the "Kalistan Consensus") vs Vanuku.

Wait, what about Trigunia?

Trigunia is tricky because they seem to be allies with both sides :P Although, I am trying to repair the issues with Vanuku at any rate.

Exactly what James said. In other words, it's a perfect Cold War scenario. Every country will have to choose sides and pay a price for whichever side they choose.

Interesting idea. I do wonder though - what would be the grand unifying idea/ideology for each side? Global Left vs right or maybe liberalism/constitutionalism vs conservatism/authoritarianism? Or we just let it flow and each country involved just picks a side.
To live outside the law, you must be honest.

Honestly, I'm struggling to keep Kalistan ticking over at the moment. Once the more 'obstructive' players have left, I'll be able to take more of a leading role.

Can I propose an idea to continue the development of the RP about the World Congress?

We could have an escalation between the nations involved in or close to the Global Fascist Order cited by Kalistan because now the SC is controlled by the 'Alliance of the Freedom' (if you like the name) and then it could be funny to arrive to an escalation like the 13 days in '62: on the edge of the great war.
And we could use just the humanitarian mission planned by Kalistan, Istalia and Hawu Mumenhes (and if they agree also Hutori and Talmoria and other nations that was disponible to this missions).
Mission consist in: an Istalian Carrier with istalian and more advanced Hawu Mumenhes fighters was sent close to the water borders of Saridan while from Alaria (the Istalian Island), Kalistani Cargo Plane (which more operative range) depart toward Saridan that will meet the escort fighters in the Sea of the Lost Souls to fly escorted over the saridanese hungrier areas parachuting food and medicine (and if will be involved also Hutori, Talmoria and others, I thought that three Hutorian destroyer and two Talmorian frigate could be involved in the food shipping departing some aircraft from the Chismatic Sea).
Almost to the and of the delivering flights (night time and with a large bank of fog) a missile destroys one of the cargo and another missiles touch an istalian fighter that barely could reach my carrier.
Given that the Kalistan cargo fell into saridanesi waters but almost all the crew survived so an helicopter departs from my carrier to go to rescue the survivors but given the distance my Carrier have to wait in zone (if the Carrier point back to the south the helicopter will not have the fuel to reach it) but at first light of the day a Vanuky destroyer (which had been away from the rest of the Vanuku first fleet taking advantage of the fog to snipe against the planes, in effect it launched the missiles but Vanuku officially denies) appears approaching the Carrier which, for insistence of Kalistan, left Istalia for this mission without other ships in escort.
With almost all the fighter pilots very tired and the fuel reserve for aircraft almost dry, the defensive capacity of the Istalian ship results very compromised but it must wait the helicopter come back.
So, after the night-time fog was disappeared, the Vanuku destroyer try to position itself between the carrier and the helicopter and when it understands that the destroyer was pointing weapons against the helicopter (Vanuku will justify this because the unauthorized violation of the Saridanese fligh space) Istalian ship firing a few warning shots to which the destroyer starts to respond until a torpedo explodes very close to the vessel of Vanuku reveals the presence of a (not declared) submarine in escort of the aircraft (the Istalian Navy had categorically refused to send its aircraft carrier without an escort so the Government decided to have it followed closely by two istalian submarines (with high-stealth capacity)).
So the destroyer, isolated and far from reinforcements, decided to fall back allowing the rescue helicopter to reach the aircraft carrier which then turne the tide heading home.
This could starts a high tension short period (like the 13 days of '62) and after this episode: Saridan starts to install Beiteynu's long range missiles along the coasts and the Vanuku presence in Saridan increase (something that could increase more the tension inside Saridan that already expressed also some concerns about the Vanuku presence in their territory) which bring also to the deplacement of long range nuclear launcher in Boerestaat (the southernmost region of Saridan) and during the increase of the crisis to a naval blockade in the strait between Badara and Saridan for all the Istalian, Hawu Mumenhes, Kalistan trade and passenger ships (and in case also Hutori and Talmorian ships).
Then we could start to debate in the World Congress and continue to develop the RP.

What do you think?
