If you could conquer one country, which would it be?

[Drummodino]

As an Australian, New Zealand. They really should stop pretending to be their own country and just join up with us already. We can trade, Kiwi birds for kangaroos!

How cruel. Australia attacking New Zealand would be like beating up your little brother.

Your slightly uppity, insecure little brother.

Hey I'm open to a peaceful merger. But you just seem so stubborn on maintaining your "rights" that war is the only option I'm afraid.

Besides once we're one country, that trans-Tasman sea rollercoaster/race track I've been planning may finally be a possibility!

Well that explains the Bahamas and Australia but why did you have to take Ireland? From a geographical perspective it's basically just more of the same!

The Normans started it, I guess they didn't realise the mistake they were making, but you can't leave a job half done.

Also, I just said it was a nice place. I didn't say we all wanted to live there. ;p

Ah I see, pumping us for our vast natural resources of...ummm...all of that...err...wind and rain that we have, valuable stuff that.

Obviosuly, I conquer the United States so that I can then have the resources to conquer/destroy everyone else in the world.

-Transform Fox News into a propaganda station.

Um ... yeah. Might have missed the boat on that one.

Read my later post. I have to keep the Right-Wingers in line somehow.

Though I have to ask, what should I do with Hannity?

I'd conquer Australia. The way I see it, even though it's just one country, it also counts as a continent, so I'd get +2 reinforcements a turn for having it, which would give me a slight advantage over those who chose a country that isn't a continent. Then I could just mass my troops in indonesia every turn and voila! perfect defensive bottleneck.

Good idea, though it only sometimes counts a continent. Other times, it's part of Oceania, along with NZ, part of Indonesia and various smaller nations.

Might have to conquer them for that to work, and Indonesia has like 15 times the population of Australia. Better check the rules first to be sure.

I would conquer Russia. Because once I have it, no one else can take it from me. Name ONE PERSON that has managed to take Russia, besides Russians?

The Mongols.

See the underlined section.

OT: According to Forbes, I already live in the best country in the world, soooo... some warm, peaceful country so I can move there and no longer have to suffer winters that go on until the middle of April. And of course if things didn't work I'd kick everyone out and offer free living space for fellow Scandinavians who also have grown tired of the cold.

That, or China so I can enforce a mass genocide there and turn it into the world's greatest national park, saving countless species, the ozone layer and the world from overpopulation and massive pollution in the process.

To some people, it is.
*puts out a rain catcher*

But mostly we would just make it less expensive/difficult for us to visit.

And don't sell yourselves short. You have something very valuable as a natural resource.
Your wonderful people.

xD Your wonderfully, tasty people.....

[sub][sub]Nah. We won't eat you. All people taste terrible ;p[/sub][/sub]

Ah-ha.
I missed that part amidst the general chaos of the statement. One person who managed to take Russia besides Russians (as opposed to 'one person that has managed to take Russia, besides a Russian) created a grammatical paradox that warped my sense of reality.
Yes, I did invoke the Hammer of Grammar on you. Are you reeling from the impact yet?

And Genghis Khan.

Nope, he died way before they got into Europe, and Russia didn't exist as a country back then, it was a cluster of principalities that didn't even reach the lower stretches of Volga. and they didn't manage to take the whole area that would later become Russia [Edit, although considering the bit they left was basically Siberia that may well have been through choice].

Touche, old boy. Touche.

Well, best of luck to you in sweeping through the Russian front! Maybe we'll hail you as the Fist of Winter fifty years from now!
