Earlier today Leounitus Flavia,Minister of Defense for Klavia Okeano and Andreatto di Nero,Minsiter of Defense for Istalia met and discussed this and officially began the exercise.
It is reported 356 submarines from Klavia and 1,500 from Istalia participated in the exercise alongside 50 destroyers from Klavia and 470 from Istalia.
The reported exercise has been considered a success with both sides saying that the new encirclement strategy is very efficient and productive for there navies.
They also trained on how to stop drug smugglers from entering national waters and how to patrol international waters.
OOC: OK, @Yolo04 I'm going to stop you right there... I don't know if I'm going to be the first one to tell you this but you need to work on your RP... man seriously... '356 submarines from Klavia'... really? Out of where? The coherence of this RP could not be more distorted and impaired... '1,500 (ed. submarines) from Istalia'... oh really, how come if the
wikia page of the Istalian Navy clearly states that Istalia has only 30 submarines IN TOTAL (and the total number of ships in the Istalian Navy is just 127 - so I think that raising concerns about the
'470 (ed. destroyers)
from istalia is fully justified. But what bothers me the most is that your RP has no correlation with the in-game RP and the in-game "geopolitical" situation of Klavia (I seriously don't know why it ceased to be Keymon... and at this point, I doubt anybody knows...). But Klavia is just a small island state with ~20 million people (5 time less than most of the in-game countries... and one of the most important results of it it five time smaller GDP). The Defense Budget of Klavia (?) is 5 billion KED - after converting it to Lodamun Dollars (the strongest currency) using in-game currency exchange chart or currency converter which could be found
here, that leaves us with "just" 2.27 billion LOD. Let's compare that with the defense spending of countries which in
economic and military rankings are listed as strong, and very strong (in economic) and regional, and great powers (for military). Dorvik - budget for military and defense (after conversion to LOD - 14.6 billion), Indrala - budget for military and defense (after conversion to LOD - 7.6 billion), Malivia - budget for military and defense (after conversion to LOD - 7.8 billion), Valruzia - budget for military and defense (after conversion to LOD - 32.6 billion)...
I assure you that none of the aforementioned countries with their extensive (and significantly larger military expenditures) doesn't claim it is in possession of 350 submarines (which are expensive to build and maintain). According to my knowledge Kazula which is a Great Power has 2 aircraft carriers, and 20 submarines (!) and that is what most of the players call a realistic RP - bacause values you use (350 submarines) wold kill the economy of a Great Power state and we are talking about a small island state. I really recommend altering the RP and making it more real as this would not only make it more interesting and realistic but more importantly would attract more players who value a sustainable, realistic and well-thought RP... I assure you that with an intelligent RP Klavia can be a hell of a lot of fun when playing... just look at the in-game map... the location of Klavia itself just gives a ton of RP possibilities and there is no need for overexaggerated RP that Klavia: A - has 8000 tanks, B - has 350 submarines, C - exports ICBMs (?!?!). You have to keep in mind that you are playing in a country that is a small island in the middle of the ocean and that its capabilities are limited...
Don't geet me wrong... If you feel fine with your RP.. please carry on, but don't expect other players to take it for serious...
