[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;47821775][t]http://i.imgur.com/2hHIvf7.png[/t] Spent too much time here[/QUOTE] What's that brown and gold flag in between Oman and Yemen?
[QUOTE=Griffster26;47824237]What's that brown and gold flag in between Oman and Yemen?[/QUOTE] Sana'a is first guess.
[QUOTE=OvB;47824930]Sana'a is first guess.[/QUOTE] Wouldn't they just use the North and South Yemeni flags?
That's not Yemen, that's San'aa. The other is Aden.
[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;47825303]That's not Yemen, that's San'aa. The other is Aden.[/QUOTE] Where'd you get that flag from?
[QUOTE=Griffster26;47825393]Where'd you get that flag from?[/QUOTE] .....i made it up [editline]28th May 2015[/editline] I was reading up on the Himyarite kingdoms of old and how they had coinage and stuff so I was like "sand is kinda brown sometimes and gold is yellow so idk why not put them together it's not like anyone's playing this nation"
Homebrew flags are much cooler than real flags.
But isn't that a communist state?
[QUOTE=Griffster26;47826494]But isn't that a communist state?[/QUOTE] They could be nationalist too.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;47826511]They could be nationalist too.[/QUOTE] But why would communists use a symbol from a monarchy?
[QUOTE=Griffster26;47826526]But why would communists use a symbol from a monarchy?[/QUOTE] Because communism is duuumb
After talking with Emperor Scorpious, out of curiosity do any of you think that Lebanon is a dictatorship? Because the Patriarch holds no real power, its all in the Parliament. Hence why no religious laws have been passed and Muslims persecuted

[QUOTE=Griffster26;47827199]You're a theocracy pushing a religion on the primarily Muslim population of the Middle East.[/QUOTE] Actually I'm more of a Theocratic Republic, and Secondly I'm not Pushing Christianity on anyone, and Lebanon is primarily Christian atm bro

I thought Lebanon was split 50-50
[QUOTE=Griffster26;47827249]What about all the Knights you sent into foreign countries and what happened to the Muslim population? I thought Lebanon was split 50-50[/QUOTE] Atm Lebanon is around 55/45 to 60/40 and the Knights are members of BoB which is a government funded Humanitarian Organization. Think of a government funded Salvation army of sorts. And the Muslims are still there and have their voice in politics, heck there are Muslim MP's right now too, dunno the religion of the PM at the moment but you get my point. The only clashes that have happened are between the limited amount of extremists in the country, whom are imprisoned by the country regardless of their religion should they commit a crime

[QUOTE=Griffster26;47827283]But did people ask for the Christian theocrats to start marching around in their borders?[/QUOTE] I asked them and they said yes, since BoB's main priority is helping others and improving the conditions of the poor as was seen with there helping of Refugees during the Mesopotamian War.

There's a reason why I evicted all of you from my country.
[QUOTE=Griffster26;47827316]But did they want you to start spreading your religion around all willy-nilly? There's a reason why I evicted all of you from my country.[/QUOTE] Uh, perhaps you should go back and check your sources, I never told them to just go and spread religion Willy Nilly. There are two branches to BoB after all, the Humanitarian, and then the Missionaries I only sent the Humanitarians out. People might've just converted on their own since they like the People who are helping them. The only places I've had the Missionaries active are within my own borders, not to force the religion, merely to preach

[QUOTE=Milkdairy;47827332]Afghanistan you need to chill because your government is absolutely atrocious and you have no place in the affairs of middle-western states[/QUOTE] Even though I won a war and gained a giant part of Pakistan?
[QUOTE=Griffster26;47827329]Why would the people who've been Muslims for centuries suddenly decide to become Catholic because a couple guys walked into a war zone to give them coffee?[/QUOTE] Because the individuals themselves weren't Muslims for centuries. And you'd be surprised what psychological effects going into a warzone, giving people food, shelter, security, and a general faith in survival can have on a person. BoB was founded on the Christian concept of helping others, maybe the people being helped found they want to be like those who helped them and decided to convert
Your belligerence towards other nations is anything but respectable And you fund terrorism [editline]28th May 2015[/editline] Does it count as flaming if it's in character :v:
[QUOTE=Griffster26;47827342]Even though I won a war and gained a giant part of Pakistan?[/QUOTE] Because Persia and Mesopotamia sent full force into Pakistan.
[QUOTE=Native Hunter;47827349]Because the individuals themselves weren't Muslims for centuries. [/QUOTE] Yes they were?
Everyone better be calming down or the turn's taking a delay. Don't be shitheads in the thread, be shitheads in your turns, that's how RPs work.
I was having fun :suicide: GM oounded the gavel

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;47827364]Because Persia and Mesopotamia sent full force into Pakistan.[/QUOTE] I still would've won and I probably would've annexed Pakistan in that case.
