Talk:Divided Scandinavia (Map Game)/@comment-26247925-20170721074812

Baltic Confederation
 * Government: Seeing war rage across Scandinavia, the Baltic Confederation turns their head. While this war is happening, the Baltic Confederation can make use of the diplomatic stalemate to take care with their own problems.
 * Research: One such problem is food. The country is gaining population quickly, and so room for cities must be made. This is why the Confederation is investing in algae and other “meat substitutes” in order to eliminate the need for meat. Along with this, the Confederation has hired a number of private contractors to construct vertical farms in large cities in order to combat obesity. Fusion Power is researched and will take another 4 months.
 * Economy: The economy has skyrocketed due to major investment in renewables and other carbon neutral products. The Confederation is able to mass produce these and export them everywhere. This is also combatting unemployment, as rates drop to an all-time low.
 * Military: There are 23 million citizens in the Ladogan Confederation. Manpower is at 11 million, and 7.5 million are fit-for-service. 250,000 reach military age every year. The Ladogan Armed Forces (LAF) has 632,000 total forces, having 231,900 active forces and 401,100 reserve forces. The Ladogan Air Force (LAF) has 81 Fighter Aircraft, 160 Attack Aircraft, 165 Transport Aircraft, 56 Training Aircraft, and 76 Attack Helicopters. The Ladogan Ground Force (LGF) has 2179 Combat Tanks, 3268 Armoured Fighting Vehicles, 724 Self-Propelled Artillery, 518 Towed Artillery, and 395 Rocket Projectors. The Ladogan Naval Force (LNF) has 1 Aircraft Carrier, 3 Frigates, 9 Destroyers, 41 Corvettes, 22 Submarines, 21 Patrol Craft, and 34 Mine Warfare Vessels.
 * Rebellion: The Baltic Confederation treats all citizens the way they want to be treated. There is no oppression, no violence against certain peoples, and no unnecessary discrimination. So there is no valid reason for this rebellion. It is only a powerplay by some powerful characters to place themselves at the top of the food chain by instigating a rebellion. Riot police are sent in, but have orders to contain, not fight. Violence will not be tolerated.
 * Diplomacy
 * Nordic War: Yeah, no. I wonder why Germany declared war on me? I didn’t even do anything. (Also it seems a little counterintuitive to assume that allies will automatically help. They should really be making that decision themselves.)
 * Lithuania: Hey, I know you said no to unification last time. Now we’re threatened by war. Germany wants to destabilise this region further, and so has declared war on me for no reason. I will try to take us out of the war, but it will be hard. Diplomatically, economically, and politically, it would be beneficial to both of us to unite. Also, please leave the war. It is useless.
 * Novgorod: Yeah… sorry about the aggression. However, you betrayed the deal that Ladoga made with Russia regarding independence after the collapse. Novgorod was to join Leningrad and Pskov in a union, and yet Novgorod betrayed the trust of Pskov and Leningrad. You can see why we reacted with aggression. So, the Baltic Confederation asks Novgorod with pure intentions: would you like to unify with us?
