Didn't someone receive an issue about rockets, where one of the proposed solutions was to move all trade online?

At first, I read it and couldn't figure out what it was about.

It's all because you have a warlike attitude.

Or simply because mentioning rockets in this topic is very frequent.

Shaman, is it possible that the religion of your faction is practiced in other countries? I want to flesh out the Factions section more fully and perhaps elaborate on the religions. I think that some influence on a certain percentage of the population could have been exerted on borderlands.

I don't even know... The main tenet of the Haven religious order is harmonious development and peacefulness, but this does not prevent people from learning martial arts for self-defense. Each young man is monitored by the order's mentors, and after identifying his natural talents, they strive to develop them according to his inherent qualities. Particular attention is paid to the ability to remain calm and maintain self-control in various situations.

Someone mentioned an issue about packages, where one of the options suggested moving all trade online?

Plastic, Plastic Everywhere? I had that, and I chose the fourth option.

Following new legislation in The Great Water, the entire retail industry has been replaced by online delivery services.

I don't remember much, I just remember that retail didn't increase.

The essence of this doesn't change much. You send someone to negotiate with them, and they'll cut off their head.

It does change.
You probably didn't understand. You're attacking a country that is part of a military alliance with Kittypink, and which apparently has its own nuclear weapons.
I understand that you're the GM, and you said "there definitely won't be a nuclear apocalypse." But even if we ignore such consequences, you're going to wage war and spill blood. Where is the greater evil, and where is the lesser? And it's not the evil Kittypinkians or Mushroomians who are the aggressors here, but the Security Council. Thousands of people from different countries will die, just because "they might have attacked us."
It's not necessary to solve the problem diplomatically when "they might cut off your head," but out of all the other ways, the Security Council chose the most reckless and bloody one. Let's start a world war, why not.

You know... maybe you could change my dash to a cross...

You are attacking a country that is part of a military alliance with Kittypink.

That's up to Kittypink to decide. The Security Council, i.e., in this case, the international community, has come to the conclusion that what is happening in the Republic of Champignons is unacceptable and could become a major problem for everyone in the future. Kittypink can choose to cooperate and help resolve the "champignon problem," or it can go against everyone simply because it wants to.
Prevention is better than cure.

I don't understand where you saw a war and a bloody conflict. If Kittypink or Champignons decide to resist the decision of an international organization, they will not only violate their own agreements (in the case of the first country), but also act as obvious aggressors.
In any case, only some Idiyandia, which radioactive fallout may not reach, will not suffer in a world war.

You know... Maybe you'll change my dash to a cross...

It's too late.

Okay, I'll focus on crafting umbrellas to protect against acid rain...

From my point of view, if a country that is among the economic leaders, leaders in production, etc., has "savages with sticks" in its government, and the prime minister makes a statement in the spirit of "hehe, lol," then that is not normal. They have nuclear weapons. Okay. What prevents them from taking and using them (assuming that Kittypink does not control their army entirely, but then that would mean that Kittypink is simply holding this country at gunpoint, which is also incorrect)? Like, "hehe, we weren't invited to the security council, let's shoot at them!" Corporations won't allow it? That's not a valid argument.

Siver probably regrets that we don't have a head of state and therefore can't support anyone.

I chose the second option, as the fourth one doesn't seem very good.

Siver probably regrets that we don't have a head of state and therefore no one to support.

Official statement: Arandor is a man of steel.

I subtly hinted in my speech that if a decision is made to change the government of the Mushroom Kingdom, it should be my country that takes the lead. Although the option of transferring experience points is not bad. But I don't want to lose influence over Mental, so let me try to reason with him first.

In my speech, I subtly hinted that if a decision is made to change the government of the Mushroom Kingdom, it should primarily be my country's concern. Although the option of transferring experience points is not bad. But I don't want to lose influence over Mental, so let me try to talk to him nicely.

See, Toghrul Isa oglu Ibrahimov, a diplomatic approach and the right tone in negotiations are the key to peace and prosperity.

Actually, if you look at this situation from Kittypink's perspective, I see something like this, although I may be wrong:
1) There is a direct ideological and other opponent, Rex Ventorum with its allies. Isn't that right?
2) There is the country of Champignon, on whose territory there are not only uranium mines and factories, which in the event of an alliance will almost immediately (and in fact) come under the control of Kittypink, but also territory bordering several countries of the alliance, from where it will be quite convenient and effective to conduct hostilities and deploy anti-missile defense systems. The government of this country is ready to become a "slave" of the Dominion.
3) There is a direct threat of mutual massive destruction or numerous casualties in the event of a full-scale conflict with the use of nuclear weapons. In this case, it is obvious that the giant countries will not directly attack each other at the moment, but will try to force the opponent to start aggression first through various provocations.

In essence, there is no direct threat to Kittypink in the event of a change of power in Champignon, however, there are a number of factors for which such a state may feel offended and react accordingly. These include:
a) Loss of control over the market, industry, and disruption of trade agreements. A huge outflow of funds to Ventorum if the new leadership of Champignon becomes actually subordinate to the Federated Republic. This factor is already quite worrying.
b) Loss of uranium deposits, factories, strategically convenient positions, and, most importantly, anti-missile defense systems, if, again, there is a change of power. Here, Kittypink may well decide that the miserable capitalists have encroached not only on its sovereignty but also on the security of the state, which could lead to a conflict.

Here are the solutions I see to this problem:
I) A change of power in Champignon with the consent and direct participation of Kittypink and without unnecessary bloodshed.
II) Maintaining all current agreements with Kittypink after the re-election of the government, joining the Security Council of Actea.
III) Developing diplomatic relations with Rex Ventorum and the other countries of Actea. Normal relations.

In this way, it is possible to avoid unnecessary casualties, and most importantly, all parties will be satisfied in the end. Except for the barbarians.
