You decided to deal with the crisis in Brasilistan by launching a wave of nuclear strikes.
The Issue
When you give the order to launch the nukes, your general briefly leaves the room. The moments tick by. When he returns, he simply nods once. "Birds in the air." There are almost two dozen people around this table, including some of the most brilliant minds and fearsome personalities in Brakhmar, but none of them speak. "Three minutes until impact." You expected more activity. But there's nothing to do. There aren't even any gigantic computer screens, tracing the path of the missiles. It's beneath you, you suppose. Your job is not to track the flight of missiles. Your job is simply to decide. And that's what you've done. You've decided to annihilate another country. You look around the table at your advisors and soldiers. Some nod back at you reassuringly. Some won't meet your eyes. Not everyone will agree with you, of course. But it's not their decision. It's yours. The general leaves the room several more times. Finally, he returns. "It's done," your general says. "It's done."
The Debate:

The Government Position
The government has yet to formalize a position on this issue.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? There's also an option to give military service to corporations. There are no viable options, I'm choosing between the first and fourth, but I'm worried about the effects of such radical decisions.
Following new legislation in The Great Water, strategic bombers are being converted into preschools.

Where do we end up when we save the world?
A religious talk show host raised a furor with his call to ban contraception. Women's rights groups have come to you demanding a response.
The Debate
"Both sides have rocks in their brains," says proud asexual, Cooper Spirit. "Why don't we just ban sex altogether, and force people to use artificial insemination? That way, we can preview everyone who signs up to have kids, and if we don't like it, tough beans for them. The police may have to work harder to catch those who 'overlook' this measure, but if that's the price we have to pay for ending this inane argument once and for all, it'll be well worth it."
In Kittypink, there is no sex.
Otherwise, dismiss it completely; there isn't a single sensible option.

Therefore, I hope he will be so kind as to listen to my proposal:
1) I am not accustomed to breaking laws, therefore purchasing a house is impossible
2) A "boost for the economy" does not interest me; however, the count is no fool and is thinking correctly. The Tsar is not against him residing on the country's territory. Naturally, not as a recluse in his own estate, but as an intelligent person useful to society.
3) Therefore, the proposal is as follows:
The count and his associates can receive a separate house for long-term lease with an option to buy in the event of obtaining citizenship. Of course, the house is not given simply "because someone wanted it," but in accordance with the right to provide housing to a foreign worker. No degradation of dignity; the work isn't grueling. Journalism, teaching, scientific, or even writing activities. Perhaps the count has achieved success in something else; this is open for discussion.
We will also select the house itself taking into account the preferences of the new residents. For example, if the count wants to teach economics at the university and does not like rattling around in a
4) There are also minor points related to compliance with laws, i.e., stemming from the first point. For example, I've mentioned a couple of times in the thread that my immigrants
By the way, I recently received an issue where I also strictly ordered compliance with laws and made no allowances for "one's own." As a result, I imprisoned many who use light drugs. Although one point suggested to "allow it if not smoked."

p.s. I understand that the count wanted to build himself, with an individual layout, a bomb shelter, in a certain architectural style... But c'est la vie
My job is to offer.
— Now the Tsar has really gone full French! — one guard whispered to another.
— I'll tell you more: my sister-in-law finished two institutes, she says he speaks so fluently it's unbelievable. Any count would be envious, — the second guard smacked his lips with a knowing look and businesslike adjusted his slipping tubeteika.

Смысл жизни в том, что жизнь на тебе не заканчивается
A small passenger aircraft landed on a runway in the middle of a very spacious area — apart from the specialized airfield, there were almost no other surface structures here, and when the aircraft's engines stopped, the rustle of leaves and the hum of the wind could be heard outside. The Empress descended the stairs carefully while maintaining her grace — doing so in heels was inconvenient, but the Daughter of the Wind must always look magnificent. Her face showed seriousness and thoughtfulness.
— The complex is underground, Your Magnificence. — The escort pronounced the last part of the sentence with special zeal, trying to show gratitude for the chance to serve as a guide through the former capital. — Here...
— I am aware. — The Empress paid no attention to the minion's efforts and made it clear by her tone that he should not speak unless asked. — "A good place strategically, but a terrible one for a capital," — Kang Geun-yeon had suggested moving the capital back here, but now she knew for certain that she would not do that. — "But reinforcing this position would not hurt: Invicta is in the center of the empire and at the same time lies near the borders with three states and, just as importantly, not so far from Suchzhon. Outside, something like the Khramian fortress should be built, the number of military personnel should be increased severalfold, additional missile systems deployed... Yes, that is what I will do."
Some time later, underground.
— How did you like the tour? — The Secretary of Defense was in high spirits, despite the fact that her proposal to move the capital had been rejected.
— I saw nothing new. — Han Yeong Mi sat down in the chair specially prepared for her in the center of the spacious room, where quite a number of government officials had already gathered.
— My lady, the emergency meeting of the security council has already begun. Should we send a request to establish a video link?
— No. — The Empress considered every option one last time. — First I must resolve one matter. Further events may develop in a way that is not favorable to us, so if our allies from KOSAP turn away from us, I authorize you to contact the leaders of Kittypink and the Republic of Champignons and put forward a proposal for cooperation.
When the last word left the Empress's lips, silence reigned in the room for a while.
— That is... That is a very interesting decision, Your Magnificence, — one of the many advisers responded, — however, allow me the boldness to remind you that the Champignons and especially Kittypink are long-standing enemies of our country! And they certainly will not take such a step.
— IF the members of KOSAP act shortsightedly and refuse to support us at today's security council meeting, what alliance can there be? The Empire is not the Federal Republic of Scipio, and at the moment Rex Ventorum, Kittypink, and the Champignons have a common goal — defending their interests from outside influence. Lucius Cornelius Scipio intended to build a model state and place himself at the head of all Actaea, using the authority of the Security Council to achieve his goals. His flexibility on any issue allowed him to pursue such a policy, but in our case such practice will not succeed. Besides that, the RPA has no reason to refuse cooperation with us, since such an agreement will increase the alliance's military strength and cripple KOSAP — they will not only lose a third of their combined self-defense forces, but will also lose their joint nuclear shield and shared land borders, plus a small bonus: Qasardastan, the future leader of that military-political bloc after our withdrawal, will be surrounded on all sides. If Qasardastan, Arkondia, and Shaylion do not meet us halfway — well, that is their decision, and they will answer for it. Now connect me to the security council.

The administration of the Rex Ventorum Empire sends a letter to the leaders of the Dominion of Kittypink and the Republic of Champignons, expressing its desire to join the Red Protective Alliance. At the moment, Rex Ventorum's membership in the military-political bloc KOSAP is in question, and its relations with its allies (current or former — it is unclear) are tense and unreliable. The new government of Rex Ventorum is interested in improving relations with Kittypink and its ally primarily because of similar positions on certain issues. For example:Nicholas JohnsonIt is absolutely true that every people has its right to self-determination, and the council should not interfere in the domestic policy of states. Such interventions are not far from creating a common government that will single-handedly begin deciding how all the inhabitants of Actaea should live. Integration is not always a blessing.
Now let us examine the state of the self-defense forces in Actaea (including Edyia).
KOSAP — 355
Rex Ventorum — 120
Qasardastan — 106
Arkondia — 96
Shaylion — 33
RPA — 244
Kittypink — 161
Champignons — 83
ASG — 232
Sciencecracy — 112
Aghar — 78
The Great Water — 42
If KOSAP loses Rex Ventorum as an ally, it loses 33.8% of its military power, while the strength of the RPA increases by 49.18%.
In addition, the Champignons, as a free-market country, are invited to join AFTA.
Finally, we note that the Rex Ventorum Empire will always pursue its own interests and will not tolerate foreign interference in its affairs, whether from socialists such as Kittypink, members of ASG or KOSAP, regardless of whether we are part of any alliance or not — we will not sacrifice our interests.
Members of the Red Protective Alliance organization sign a treaty under which each state of the union protects the integrity and peace of every other state of the union. In the event of an attack on an allied country, all other allied countries are obligated to provide the affected country with the maximum military assistance available to them. Members of the Red Protective Alliance organization also possess a joint nuclear shield for protection against the threat of atomic attack.
We strongly recommend that you consider our proposal; at the moment the Security Council gives both us and you more problems than benefits, while such an alliance will bring only advantages: it will secure our countries to the proper extent and provide the necessary political influence on the international stage. If you agree, we also strongly recommend voting against Argus Cetronian's resolutions and supporting ours — an ally from a recognized state will be more valuable; besides, the proposal we have put forward will allow the Republic of Champignons to join the security council and receive voting rights.
The proposal of the new Ventorum government was reviewed at the highest level and personally approved by the Great Leader. Despite the suspicions voiced by some ministers, the Leader firmly decided to pursue improved relations. Naturally, not to the detriment of her own state's interests.
Noting
the rather difficult and strained relations of the Free Republic of Champignons with the old government of Rex Ventorum;
frequent disagreements with it on many of the most important diplomatic issues;
as well as the fact that the new leadership of Rex Ventorum, represented by the Empress and other political figures close to the Empress, immediately took a completely different, peaceful diplomatic course, moved toward normalizing relations with all countries of Actaea, and showed concern for their security, which the old government of Rex Ventorum did not do,
the Free Republic of Champignons fully approves the decision of the Rex Ventorum Empire to join the RTA with the consent of its ally, the Dominion of Kittypink.
The government of the Free Republic of Champignons also expresses hope that the Rex Ventorum Empire's relations with its old allies from KOSAP will remain positive despite the current political situation.

Franz Kopp did not support the empire.
Theo Kleber did not support the empire.
Kreis did not support the empire.
By the way, I would like to describe my feelings after reading this material:
a) we have Kittypink, which seems like a terrible empire, but in reality, Kosh is kind and good.
b) there was Rex Ventorum, which was supposed to be inhabited by heartless capitalists. But in reality, it turned out to be a quite peaceful country, constantly putting humane initiatives up for a vote.
c) there are the Steel Men, who seem dangerous, but in reality, they are positive heroes, inspired by Conan.
d) but the new empire of Revan... well, what can a girl between the ages of 19 and 26 understand about managing a whole large state? I'm serious. In real life - nothing, but we have a fictional universe. This new empire seems to me to be the scariest and most dangerous country in modern Actaea.
All of the above are purely my feelings, based on the description of Revan. Still, he tried to reveal the characters' personalities in quite detail.
p.s. Conclusion! Don't get involved with Revan :p He is constantly changing his countries. Get involved with lazy people who write once and that's it. :)
