As our nations get larger, how are we going to inform the Moderators which region we desire to upgrade the fortifications for?

In what ways may unavailability among minorities increase the chances of rebellion and negative effects?

I don't think disclosing that would be too much of a spill on the part of the moderators. I would guess that minorities will likely play a greater role in political correctness and voting later in the game but what might be the side effects of putting down women, minorities, some possible voters, etc.?

I would like to go ahead and lay claim to the light blue on the south of the British Isles and I should have my factbook up later tonight

On behalf of the Russian Federation, I give this message to the World.

On September 9th, 2018, the minister of foreign affairs from former Russia/ now USSR had just finished a long night of diplomatic negotiations with the CIS and Baltic leaders. He traveled to New Delhi to discuss the terms of Mutually Assured Defense with the three powers of North, South, and Eastern Asia. In like manner to that of the Baltic and CIS leaders, there was concern over the aggression of the Western nations, direct and indirect.

Options were discussed for managing the defense of all three nations and their outlying provinces efficiently and effectively. A coalition of the major parties in India were present and made a surprisingly fast decision to ask Russia to take on Defense of the Indian Subcontinent in the absence of a strong and active leader. The Russian officials were hesitant in regards to overstepping the terms of the Alpha Helix Accord which extended at face value only to international economic and defensive maneuvers to ensure longevity of the member nations. However, the party leaders deliberated and agreed that bestowing  governance power over the Subcontinent to the joint operations of the Russian-Eastern European-Central Asian leadership would be the best way to ensure the survival of the Indian people in an increasingly threatening world.

Later that night, the noble Rook of the Sino Republik approached and privately discussed with the Russian/USSR foreign minister his availability to accept international appointments. In an ever-destabilizing world stage, the leader of the Sino Republik felt an urge to withdraw from the public eye to spend more time with his family. In his fear for the fate of the Chinese, Mongolian, and Iranian people, he requested that the foreign minister, having worked closely with the Sino government since the new administrations came to power around the world in 2016, be the person to take the reins from him and lead the East Asian nation to prominence in the world.  Taken aback, the minister from the USSR insisted on his desire to remain loyal to the Russian govt and people of the combined USSR.

Into the next morning, the combined cabinets of the USSR, India, Russia, and the Sino Republik discussed the terms for transference of power from the Chinese president over to the Russian foreign minister with the oversight of both the Chinese and Russian governments. It was agreed the Chinese military commanders would remain in their commands and posts, the same was requested at this time of the Indian party coalition, both requests were happily granted by the leaders of Russia and the USSR.

By noon on the 10th of September, 2018, the international leaders rested and word was sent to the peoples of Asia and the world that effective the 11th of September, 2018, the governance, defense, and final authority over the Indian Subcontinent and her province of Japan and the Sino Republik to include her provinces of Iran and Mongolia will be granted to the highest commanders of the Russian Federation and United Satellite States of Russia. The Russian people still proudly will uphold the Alpha Helix Accord and continue the policy of open arms to the world in trade, communication, and diplomacy.

The Russian officials were also pleased to announce that the peoples of Nepal, Bhutan, and Sri Lanka are now, once again, independent and sovereign nations. The protection of these nations will be their own with the option to activate their new MDP with the Russian Federation and the USSR. Their desire for neutrality has been requested and approved by the Asian leaders. Additionally, the governments in exile including royal families are welcomed back to their homelands to help organize the distribution of 100 billion dollars per nation to rebuild infrastructure and defense forces now that their occupation is over.
 

USSR Meets with Indian and Sino Governments- Merger Announced  "News and Events" headline for Breaking News September 2018 publication

On behalf of the Russian Federation, I give this message to the World.

Between September 4th and 5th, 2018, the Leaders of Russia and the leaders of the Commonwealth of Independent States met in Minsk for an emergency meeting of the CIS and their protector (and the leader of the Illuminati) and it was concluded that in the interests of streamlining communication and reducing the defensive reaction times and logistical barriers, the Nations of the Baltic, the CIS, and Russia have signed the Nationalization Defense Accords and all these governments therein allocated their power to the First Elected Chief Officer of the Federation of Russia, Eurasia, and Central Asia (To be known as United Satellite States of Russia/USSR)

Russian Defensive Consolidation of Allies "News and Events" headline for Breaking News September 2018 publication

North Korean resistance sought Russian help last June year in toppling the N. Korean dictator and the new administration was admitted into the the Commonwealth of Independent States which is a coalition of independent nations protected by the Russian Military. No other players are permitted to interfere with their autonomy. 

Thank you for the clarification

The Republik of North Korea is part of Russia's Commonwealth of Independent States and is not available to be claimed by anyone
@Bhuto @Malerian 

This is ridiculous. It is absurd to even think you could unite 50% of the African continent, thousands of ethnic groups, more than a government types and dozens of conflicting military interests under one Ruler.
I call for moderator's opinion on this @emperorpenguin

Russia is happy to hear this changing of the guard has happened peacefully

I noticed. He is God. You don't question God's reign over the seas, you leave God alone

I would be interested to see how the overwhelming majorities in favour of the Arab League are going to respond to this action taken by the US government

Russian Federation ... a chance to sign a NAP and MDAP with the HRE

As the Commander in Chief of the Russian Federation's Armed Forces, I am bringing the HRE's offer to the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs and to the AHA

The conditions under which the nation of Turkey is requesting cooperation with the Russian government are inherently threatening and the notion that rejecting a request may incite a funded rebellion or military provocation against the nation of Russia makes this a threat, even if indirect. Such weighted and subtle statements against the Russian government does not resonate well with the Russian people. 

Perhaps further discussions of this sort should be conducted through ambassadors in the more private channels of communication. The Russian Government would be happy to communicate through the embassies in Moscow and Ankara.

Russia is happy to see peaceful resolution and expect all of these terms to be upheld

In Russia we hope these matters will be settled diplomatically.

@Priydan
As of right now, the Russian leaders would like to inform the nation of Turkey that the threats to Russian, CIS stability, and the Aplha Helix Accord member-nations are not taken lightly. 

We will not bend to your fear-mongering because the Russian Navy has never asked for nor required the permission of the Turkish government to utilize the Bosporus Strait. Should the issue of these threats not be resolved with a formally apology to all members of the Alpha Helix Accord in a new public thread, then we in the Russian government are sure the European Federation would not oppose the occupation of Istanbul by the Russian Armed Forces. 

As the Commander in Chief of the Russian Armed Forces I would like to congratulate your government on the projects and training it has underway. We all wish you the best of luck

On behalf of the Russian Federation, I give this message to the World. 

For many years, the world has lived in fear of the dictator of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, and his determination to test nuclear weapons devices and threaten the Western powers with them. In the absence of other nations taking action against the regime, and the regime's failure to instill confidence in Russia, their only ally, we have deemed it is time to take action. 

In the night, Russian elite forces in cooperation with resistance in the North Korean government have removed Kim Jong-un from the seat of power. He is currently being held in a secure facility in the South of Russia pending trial once proper jurisdiction has been determined. In the meantime, he is being treated well and attended to by Russia's finest. Two close military advisers were also removed from the nation in the same operation.

In his place now sits Choe Ryong Hae, who has served in many high-ranking positions of the North Korean government and has a history of military service and organizer of North Korean youth organizations. Of his own choice, Choe Ryong Hae has appointed the Russian adviser, Valery Sukhinin, he chose through prior communication to his newly formed cabinet. Sukhinin has also informed the new prime minister that he will be stepping down from his position in one month's time.

In his first morning as acting Prime Minister of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (DPRK), he delivered a stirring speech to the North Korean people and announced that he dreamed of a more free Korea, one of open ports, one of freedoms, one of beauty. He repeated the Russian government's promise to respect the New Korean administration as completely sovereign. He also proclaimed that his administration would be pursuing admittance into the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Asian equal economic and defense pact that includes Russia, many central Asian nations, and several more in Eastern Europe. 

As a condition for the new administration's admission, Russia and Belarus have insisted that the DPRK abandon its nuclear endeavors. They are encouraged to continue developing their own national defense as long as this does not include nuclear weaponry. 

Discussions between all CIS nations are expected in the bi-annual summit in Minsk, Belarus in about one month. 

Russia Aids N.Korean Resistance in Smooth Transition of Power "News and Events" headline for  Breaking News June 2018 publication

The World grieves with you, Sino.

The Chinese should have known they couldn't stop him with a terrorist attack. 

On behalf of the Russian Federation, I give this message to the World.

As established back in the 1990's from the ashes of the Soviet Union, Russia has been a part of the Commonwealth of Independent Nations (CIS). This cooperative pact between 9 of the 15 former Soviet states offers all nations involved and those around the world a great opportunity to grow economically as the organization will be pursuing infrastructure and trade growth to hopefully spur an increase in trading with Central Asian and Eastern European markets on the global marketplaces.  

Also, as per the CIS Charter, there is an agreement of non-aggression between these 9 nations and also one of mutual defense via the joint-nation air defense with command centers in Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Tajikistan. Additionally, Russia today will be taking on 50% of the expenses of supporting this Commonwealth of Independent States as decided upon in 1998.

Russia will also, separate of the re-activation of the CIS and as a sign of good faith, issue to each member nation of the CIS (Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan). There were conditions for the re-entry of Georgia; Russia must agree to remove soldiers from the separatist's regions of the North and Northwest regions of the nation, Georgia agreed to the CIS charter when Russian troops were withdrawn on the 1st of June in 2018.

So what you're telling me is, @emperorpenguin was exiled from the Sino Republic to some remote island and was somehow made the Pindar (highest ranking official) of the Illuminati? 

Whoa... that's one heck of a rebound job!
