The Republic of Ireland

In my lurking back and forth through this forum, I have noticed that the Republic of Ireland is still an NPC nation. I feel that this, gentlemen, is a travesty which must be fixed! :P

Thus, if you will permit, I would like to play as the Republic of Ireland. Any thoughts, opinions, protests, words of wisdom, advice for me to flee...? If you wish I can outline my goals as Eire, if that helps you decide.

Can I send you some kegs of Guinness instead? No one here drinks Susie's rain-tea. That's just weird stuff.

Ireland? Have some ambition, man - there's probably bigger fish that need frying in the sim. One of Perdedor's dirty half-dozen, for instance.

Well, honestly, if I play I want to start off small, so that I don't feel overwhelmed straight off the bat. I'm not opposed to doing bigger nations, but I want to do something small for awhile until I'm certain I have the rules down. At some point I would like to upgrade, but for now I'll set my sights on Ireland.

Agreed, One of the PRJ countrys seems reasonable. Events in Poland/Lithuania seem to indicate an opertunity to split that mini-alliance up. Theres also Bulgaria.

That said if Irelands your cup of Guiness knock yerself out man!

Well I must say that as fun as Poland would be I would probably pick Romania over it cause its in the Balkans and if there is one place that you could quite easily start a war in it would be there. Bulgaria would be even better if you wanted to have an aggressive foreign policy because they are the ones that lost territory in the Balkan area after the Great War, and could be easily portrayed as wanting revenge.

Actually, Poland seems to be inciting revolt in Lithuania at the moment, and seems prepared to go to war...

Why don't you ask for Romania, Canadian? We could be allies if I end up with Poland... :-P

That was pure speculation because I ive only been here a short time so I don't want to seem presumptous. Romania would work though.

Brazil and Philippines seem to be also available for now also. Brazil is in the middle of a shooting war for example.

I'd say Brazil or the Philipines would be equal to playing Poland and Ireland combined. It really depends on how long term you want to take part in the sim.

No matter which country you play, you will start out as a thorn in someones side.
Poland = pain to Russia, maybe Germany
Romania = pain to Russia, maybe Greece and Turkey
Ireland = pain to the United Kingdom
Brazil = pain to South Africa at present
Philippines = explosive pain to the planet (I mean pain to Australia)

*Points to his name* I've been a Paine my whole life, what's your excuse? :P

So... I started out asking for Eire but now I am completely indecisive. I would like to play, but I'm leery of jumping straight into a nation at war like Brazil, and the Philippines looks terribly ambitious for me. At least with Poland I'm caught up on the news and have an idea where it could go, and Ireland according to historic abilities wouldn't have the forces to challenge even a single British destroyer squadron. So unless people would rather have me play Brazil or the Philippines, I would like to stay small, keeping with Poland or Ireland, or if possible, both.

Take it from me......

In the 1930's the only things that Ireland was building in large numbers were massive piles of turf and cow sh1t.

Ireland was an agrarian culture until well into the 1950's, and has never really had a heavy engineering industry.
True, we did at one time have a (yes, 1) car factory, and a shipyard that did produce some naval patrol vessels, but not much else, and nothing in the right time-frame.

If Ireland as a whole island was playable, then you might just get one factory!!
